Chapter 181: King Qin?
Privately, Wu Qiu, the county master who had just returned from the county office, comforted his wife and children, the family thought that yin and yang were separated, but they never expected to be reunited, it was really a moment of joy and sorrow, and they only sighed that the world was impermanent.
Wu Qiu rushed to Hanging Gu to quell the chaos with the army before, but he was ambushed halfway, arrows rained down on both sides of the road, and he fell from his horse on the spot and fell half to death, and then was captured by the other party.
I thought that my life would be lost, but the other party took him back to the hanging gourd, not to mention the delicious food and drink, and let him go to the governor's office for a walk, this turn is terrible, and he has not fully recovered until now.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm not fine?"
"The concubine thinks, the concubine thinks... Woooooooo
The family only said that Wu Qiu was dead, but he appeared at the door, Wu's wife was so frightened that she almost fainted, Wu Qiugang and his wife and children said a few words before being interrupted by the housekeeper, saying that there was a visitor.
The Wu family is a big local family in Ruyang, otherwise he would not have been set up as the county master, and he has a lot of relatives and friends in the local area, which is the so-called wide network and many friends.
Wu Qiu, who was either killed in battle or captured, was able to come back with all his beard and tail, of course, there would be relatives and friends to visit him as soon as possible, and as for what the other party actually wanted to do, Wu Qiu also knew it.
After he returned to the city, he went to the county guard as soon as possible and told him about his experience in the hanging gourd, after all, this was also required by 'over there', and it had nothing to do with him as to how the county guard would decide.
The Wu family is a big local family in Ruyang, even if the county guard dares to kill people, he has to weigh the consequences, he has many relatives and in-laws in Wuqiu, and he is not easy to bully!
So...
"Brother Wu, what happened to the hanging gourd?"
"What do you think?"
In the study, Wu Qiuzheng was talking secretly with a few friends, everyone is their own person, so the key news at the critical time must be shared, otherwise one wrong step will be lost.
"Brother Wu, in the past few days, those cavalrymen of unknown origin have been spreading proclamations everywhere, true and false, it is really overwhelming... What happened? ”
"The history of the chief manager is over, and a few Shangzuo are also finished, and the one who led the troops to steal the city is the one-legged bronze man of Huangzhou."
"It's him! How did he... Why..."The men were shocked by the news, and their mouths couldn't close.
Xiyang's increasingly prosperous industries have attracted merchants from the north and south, and they have spread the story of the one-legged bronze man to the top of Xiyang, and the big families in Ruyang have heard this absurd story told by people.
Although they all laughed after listening to it, the name of the one-legged bronze man left a deep impression on them.
"What, how? Guangcheng is finished, Song An is finished, the hanging gourd is finished, guess what else I saw in the Governor's Office? It's the head of Shenzhou's assassin history! ”
As soon as Wu Qiu's words fell, everyone present gasped, the rumors of Guangcheng and Song An's accident have now reached Ruyang, and the local big families are worried about how the situation will develop next.
The governor of Huangzhou is a one-legged bronze man, and his name is Yuwen... Cold or hot or warm? The big families don't care and don't want to know, but they know that now that the imperial court is going to eradicate the Yuwen clan, the official army was originally aggressive and slaughtered to Shannan, how could it be copied by this one?
"I don't know how he copied it, do you know who else I saw in the official office?"
"Who?"
"Today!"
"Huh? Xinjun is not just stepping... Wait, you mean the Son of Heaven who is dead? ”
"That's right!"
"No, you haven't been to Yecheng, how do you know what the Son of Heaven looks like?"
In the face of doubts, Wu Qiu's answer was another shocking news: "I haven't seen it, but the Governor's Mansion Peng Guyi has seen it, and he was by the side of the Son of Heaven at that time, so respectful!" ”
"Gu Cao Peng's temper, you probably know it, he is not a greedy person who is afraid of death, nor is he a flatterer, if that person is fake, he is dead, and he will not admit it!"
This news is terrible, the court has announced that the Son of Heaven is "seriously injured", the new monarch succeeded to the throne, for fear that the world will not know, everywhere to make announcements, at that time the Ruyang County Shou also specially summoned the big families to the county office, read out the imperial court's edict in public.
As a result, the Son of Heaven is not dead!
And then what? Everybody go to the king of hanging gourds?
Is your brain burned out? What does it matter to us whether we are sitting on the throne as a man or a dog?
The world has been in conflict for hundreds of years, there are the Yellow River in the north and south of the Henan, and there is Huaishui in the south, which is the front line of confrontation and confrontation between the north and the south.
Everything is fake, how to continue the family bloodline is real!
Double-sided betting, virtual and wrongful snakes, both ends of the first mouse, and the grass on the wall see the wind falling, which is one or three words: know the current affairs.
Wu Qiu and a few friends, what they are most concerned about now is not what King Qin is, but how their respective families survive this turmoil, the Son of Heaven is real, and the power of the Yu Chi clan is also true, which side to choose?
Prime Minister Yu Chi is to set up a beggar to be the emperor, everyone has to pinch their noses and admit it!
"In my opinion, let's just watch from the wall, sooner or later, the imperial court will send a large army to attack the Hanging Gourd, who doesn't have a long eye and runs to the Hanging Gourd King? But until then, don't be stupid and go out of the city to die, don't you think? ”
"What Brother Wu said is... I don't know what the strength of the hanging gourd is? ”
"Where can I see the reality of the city, but don't you think it's strange that the one-legged bronze man actually came?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Although Wu Qiu is only a small county master, he has handled a lot of official documents, and he is naturally well-informed, so he began to make prompts:
"This one, it is said that he should be in Lingbiao, and not long ago, the official army was still attacking the five passes of Dabie Mountain on the side of Gwangju, what is the result?"
"You mean, the one-legged bronze man defeated the official army on the Gwangju side? How is this possible? I'm afraid that the number of officers and soldiers is not less than 10,000! ”
"Everyone is in a hanging! Gwangju is finished, Xizhou is finished, Shenzhou is finished, I think Yongzhou is also finished, the soldiers and horses in Shannan have turned over Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, and the territory has been connected with the hanging gourd, and the one-legged bronze talent dares to toss with the Son of Heaven in the hanging gourd! ”
"What about us?"
"Watch the play, before the main force of the official army comes to Yuzhou, everyone stays in Ruyang City and don't run around, if the hanging gourd sends troops to attack, surrender when it is time to surrender, don't be stupid and play with your life! It's a big deal that after the official army comes, it's anyway! ”
Wu Qiusheng was afraid that everyone would not be able to figure it out, so he had to remind him again: "I am in Hanggu this time, and I saw the officials of several other counties, some of whom were arrested, some of whom were earned, and they were all summoned by the Son of Heaven when they thought about it, and then put it back to spread the news, other counties and counties will inevitably pretend to be crazy and stupid, so we don't want to make rafters for the head." ”
"If the county guard can't figure it out, he has to organize soldiers and horses to help suppress it, everyone can deal with it, if the situation is not good, surrender and surrender, there are old and young people in the family, why follow outsiders to play with their lives?"
"If he wins the battle, he will be promoted for meritorious service, but the fathers and villagers of Ruyang have suffered heavy casualties, what good can he get!"
In the local officialdom of this era, in addition to the chief official and the upper officer, most of the other adjutants were local people, such as the state assassin history, the long history, and Sima were appointed by the imperial court, and the other drivers, governors, and chief secretaries generally opened and promoted locals, and the same was true for county adjutants.
This was the result of a compromise between the central court and the local clans, especially for the county guards, whose opinions could greatly influence the final decision.
On weekdays, the big families don't dare to go against the county guard unless they have to, but when it comes to the critical time, the county guard must consider the opinions of the big families, otherwise they don't know when they will be sold.
If several large families collude, the number of private soldiers on hand is at least not inferior to the soldiers and horses controlled by the county guard, if the enemy is present, the county guard can not get the support of the local large households, either abandon the city and flee, or be sacrificed in the middle of the night, and the whole family will die.
Wu Qiu and others are big families in Ruyang, and they can't do things but they can do bad things, so the county guards don't dare to coerce too much, of course, if the imperial army comes, then say another thing, but now, self-protection is important.
"Don't do things absolutely, if you are guarding this side, you still have to listen to it, but if you want to do it over there, you can do it roughly..."Wu Qiu said this, and lowered his voice: "If the one-legged bronze man defeats the imperial army again, you can consider whether to go to King Qin..."
