I'm still too impulsive......

In the evening of the same day, in the garden of the county government in Yangxia County, Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Reason told him that it was a very risky act to rush into Yangxia and declare that the county seat would be taken back on behalf of the imperial court when there were only 4,000 merchant and naval troops at his disposal.

Because in the afternoon, the man named Youma who had a conversation with Zhao Hongrun broke his identity as King Su from the other party, but did not make any hostile moves towards him, which means that the Yangxia hidden thieves did not want to have a head-to-head confrontation with him, the King of Su, so even if Zhao Hongrun entered Yangxia with more than 700 disguised merchant water troops, the Yangxia hidden thieves would turn a blind eye.

At least, most of the Youma represented by Youma, as well as the Yiqiu thieves behind him, didn't intend to have trouble with him Zhao Hongrun.

However, because of something that made him extremely angry, Zhao Hongrun made Shang Shuijun openly reveal his identity, officially stationed in Yangxia, and announced to the whole city that the imperial court would restore the governance of Yangxia County, which meant that he had torn his face with the hidden thief forces in Yangxia County.

In this case, whether those hidden thief forces who may not have planned to be enemies with him Zhao Hongrun will choose to unite against him Zhao Hongrun for the sake of this county town has become an unpredictable matter.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhao Hongrun who made an enemy, and he did not find a way to divide the Yangxia hidden thief forces, but gave the latter a chance to unite.

And the reason for all this is that the old man who is sitting opposite Zhao Hongrun at the moment, who is drinking and eating, is only forty years old but is as old as Ma Qian in Yangxia County who is fifty or sixty years old.

It can be seen that this Ma County Commander may not have been in contact with meat for a long time, so that there are a few ordinary home-cooked dishes on the stone table that Zhao Hongrun thinks are ordinary, but he eats them with relish, and urges Zhao Hongrun from time to time: "Wang Xiancheng, you can eat it too." ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly, because he had confessed his identity to the county magistrate in front of him more than once, but unfortunately, he didn't listen to the introduction of this county magistrate at all, but mistook Zhao Hongrun for a county magistrate surnamed Wang in his mansion.

And the guards were also mistaken for the officials in the government by this Ma County Commander.

The ruffian Lu San was right, this Ma County Commander had already gone crazy, and he was deeply trapped in the fantasy in his own mind, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Zhao Hongrun picked up the wine jug and poured wine for this Ma County Commander.

This afternoon, when he saw this Ma County Commander ascending to the hall alone, Zhao Hongrun's heart was very touched.

Because Ma Qian was obviously crazy, he couldn't even remember what his name was, but he still firmly remembered that he was the county magistrate of Yangxia County, and he still performed his duties as a county magistrate in the empty government office except him.

Although this person pretended to be a door servant, a clerk, a pen officer, and finally his own county magistrate, which looked a little ridiculous, Zhao Hongrun couldn't laugh.

He felt nothing but inexplicable sadness and unquenchable anger.

A county magistrate, a well-educated person who was appointed as an official by passing the high school examination, was committed to changing the situation of hidden thieves in Yangxia County.

It was precisely because of his anger at this incident that Zhao Hongrun decided to immediately take back Yangxia and use the strongest means to deal with those Yangxia hidden thieves.

He knew that this road was very dangerous, and the safest way to deal with it was naturally to wait for Qu Cheng's 20,000 Yanling troops to return to Yanling from Dangshan, and Wu Ji's 15,000 or so merchant troops would also return to Shangshui after being rewarded by the imperial court.

However, Zhao Hongrun decided to tear his face with the Yangxia hidden thief a month early because of what happened to Ma Qian, the county commander of Yangxia County, which is why he secretly lamented that he was still too impulsive.

Of course, sighing and sighing, he did not regret it, he felt that it was necessary for him to get back something for the county magistrate of Yangxia County in front of him, and to take back some things from the people who persecuted this court official in the first place, as well as those who stood by and watched the persecution of this court official.

The court officials are definitely not objects that can be slaughtered!

Here, Zhao Hongrun's eyes were full of murderous intent, and sitting opposite, the Ma County Commander was already full of wine and food, and he was wiping the oil stains on his beard with a rag.

"Wang Xiancheng, how did you do what I asked you to do?" Ma Qian looked at Zhao Hongrun seriously and asked.

Looking at Ma Qian's serious appearance, Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and he didn't know what to think, so he smiled and said, "I don't know what the county commander is referring to, please instruct." ”

Ma Qian frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Didn't this official ask you to post notices in the taxi halls in the city, ordering them to close such dirty places within a time limit?" How did those people react? ”

I see......

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately understood the reason why Ma Qian was victimized by those Yangxia hidden thieves.

He shook his head secretly.

It is undeniable that Ma Qian's proposition is correct, after all, those Yangxia hidden thieves use the Shiguan as a guise to recruit rangers, issue rewards, and do some things that hurt the heavens and reason.

But the problem is that Ma Qian overestimated the court's deterrence of those thieves, and also underestimated the ferocity of those thieves.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun arched his hand and said: "Lord Huiyu County, those thieves haven't closed the Shiguan yet, but the lower officials will let them close it." ”

"Hmm." Ma Qian nodded, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then you have to hurry." You need to know that the south of my Yangxia County is Pingyu County of Chu State, and the Chu people will not die if there is any turmoil in my Yangxia, and the Chu people are likely to take the opportunity to send troops to attack ......"

Zhao Hongrun knew that Ma Qian was talking about the situation five or six years ago, after all, five or six years ago, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the monarch of Pingyu, were indeed extremely hostile to the Wei State, the former frequently sent troops to attack Fenchengsai, and the latter also sent fine works to harass Yangxia, Yanling, Shangshui and other places.

Zhao Hongrun wanted to tell Ma Qian that he had reached a tacit understanding with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the cousin of Pingyu Jun, and that at present, these two princes and nobles of Chu State, their goal has long been changed to seize the position of the king of Chu, and they will no longer make any conspiracies against Wei for the time being, but in the end, Zhao Hongrun just said "the lower officials obey orders".

Because he knew that the Yangxia County Commander Ma Qian in front of him had fallen into his own conjecture and could not extricate himself, no matter what the situation became now, this county magistrate could only live in the situation five or six years ago for the rest of his life, no matter what he saw or heard from the outside world, he probably couldn't wake him up.

"Then this matter will be handed over to you, I will go to the back office to see Mrs., Wang Xiancheng, you should also return home early, so as not to worry about Mrs. Zun." As he spoke, Ma Qian stood up, smiled at Zhao Hongrun, and then turned to the back office.

Madam......

Zhao Hongrun silently looked at Ma Qian, who was alone.

At present, in this county office, where are Ma Qian's wives and children, it is just the latter's own imagination.

It is not difficult for Zhao Hongrun to guess that when he and the Shang Shui Army were not stationed in this county office, this county magistrate, I am afraid that this is like this, living alone in the county government and living in the world he imagined.

There, his wife and children were still alive and not brutally killed by the Yangxia Hidden Thieves.

"Rustling ......"

A slight sound of footsteps caught Zhao Hongrun's attention, and he turned his head to see Zongwei Zhu Gui walking towards this side.

"Your Highness." Zhu Gui hugged his fists and said: "I just got the news, General Wuma (Jiao) has led the rest of the 3,300 merchant army to arrive outside Yangxia City, and General Wuma sent someone to ask His Highness whether to build a camp outside the city or enter the city. ”

"Order it to enter the city!"

Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "After entering the city, immediately take over the city defense, garrison, as well as the arsenal and granary of Yangxia, all the previous county soldiers will be banned, and all the incumbents in Yangxia County will be reduced." ”

"Yes!" Zongwei Zhu Gui clenched his fists and retreated.

After a stick of incense, Wu Majiao, the general of the merchant and water army who had been stationed outside the city, received an order from Zhao Hongrun, and he did not hesitate to issue a military order to enter Yangxia.

Three thousand three hundred soldiers and soldiers of the merchant and navy lined up neatly and marched towards the west gate of Yangxia County.

This scene made the county soldiers guarding the city wall of the county look at each other.

The banner of the Shang Shui Army with the words Wei Shang Shui made them realize that this was their Wei State's own army, but the question was, why did they have an army stationed in Yangxia.

Is it to deal with the people in the city?

As locals, the county soldiers secretly complained in their hearts, because they had a premonition that there was probably going to be a turmoil in this Yangxia County.

"Close the gates!"

A county soldier who looked like a leader gritted his teeth and ordered.

Several county commanders hesitated for a moment and prepared to go down to the city to close the city gates, but they had not gone far along the stairs on the inner side of the city wall when they were forced up by a group of people.

It turned out that it was more than 200 Shangshui soldiers and soldiers disguised as civilians led by Zong Wei Weijiao.

I saw Wei Jiao holding high the token of King Su's Mansion, his eyes coldly glanced at the county soldiers on the city wall, and said in a low tone: "In the name of His Royal Highness King Su, let the Shang Shui Army take over Yangxia, and those who act recklessly will be punished for the crime of disorderly party, and they will be killed!" ”

"Su ......"

"King Su?"

The county soldiers were dumbfounded, how did they know that such a big man had come to the city.

However, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the county soldier, and he said in a low voice: "King Su...... Do you really want to be my Yangxia Hidden Hero? ”

"The Hidden Man?" Wei Jiao snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "You are also worthy?!" ”

With a wave of his hand, more than 200 merchant soldiers behind him rushed up to the city wall, and one by one their swords were unsheathed and aimed at the county soldiers on the city wall.

"Take it!" Wei Jiao raised his hand and pointed at the head of the county soldier, and suddenly, several Shangshui soldiers rushed forward.

The head of the county soldiers gritted his teeth, but after all, he didn't dare to resist, and was held by the neck with a blade by those Shangshui soldiers.

At the same time, in the city gate cave under the city, Wu Majiao, the general of the merchant army, straddled his mount and led 3,300 merchant and water troops, and slowly entered the city under the gaze of many county soldiers near the city gate. (To be continued.) )
