Chapter 29: The Great Fool Guo Jia
Wuji County, West Gate Tower.
Guo Jia and the veterans rushed to the gate of the city, and their eyes fell on the more than 100 soldiers gathered in the city.
This is already all the troops in Wuji County.
The old and weak soldiers stood in the door and staggered, some of them did not even have a steel knife in their hands, and many of them were in shabby clothes and armor, looking depressed and frightened, and had no intention of fighting. When Guo Jia saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head. He pondered for a moment and commanded, "Clear the people of the city and let all the people retreat." At the same time, open the gates and open the gates. ”
The veteran soldier was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, there are few soldiers guarding the city, and they are counting on closing the door to stop the Black Mountain thieves." Once the city gate is opened, the Black Mountain thieves will easily enter the city! ”
Guo Jia sneered and asked rhetorically: "Closing the city gate, can you stop the Black Mountain thieves?" ”
The veteran sighed, shook his head and replied: "The soldiers defending the city are all remnants, with no weapons and no combat effectiveness. ”
Guo Jia chuckled: "Since you can't stop it, what are you doing when you close the door?" Open the door, I have my own arrangement. ”
Seeing that Guo Jia looked confident, the veteran no longer hesitated, and ordered the doorman guarding the door to open the city gate. Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, and continued to instruct: "No one needs to stay at the city gate, and there is no need for anyone to defend the city tower, I can be alone on the city tower." Hide yourselves in the city, and ye shall not come out without my command. ”
"This ......"
The veteran hesitated, thinking that it would be enough to open the door, and there was no defense at all, which was unreassuring.
Guo Jia's eyes were cold, and he said undoubtedly: "Go and prepare!" ”
The veteran did not dare to disobey the order and immediately ordered to go down.
Guo Jia went up to the city tower alone, stood on the city tower and waited quietly. At this moment, what Guo Jia needs is time, delaying enough time for Wang Lei. He had nothing to do, observing the layout of the city walls in Wuji County.
"What a mess!"
After Guo Jia swept it, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The Wuji County Town Tower of Nuoda didn't even have defensive equipment.
"Boom!!"
In the distance outside the city, the sound of the earth shaking could be heard.
Guo Jia looked up into the distance, and where his eyes touched, a black line wriggled in the distance, approaching the county seat. Guo Jia knew that the black mountain thief was coming, he was not afraid of danger, his expression was as usual, and a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Outside the city, among the Black Mountain bandits.
The person who led the troops was named Zhang Yan, and he was the leader of the Montenegrin army. This time, he came out of the mountains and surrounded Wuji County, Zhang Yan wanted to replenish money and food to increase the food reserves of the Montenegrin army. The army stopped outside the city, Zhang Yan waved his hand, and the generals under his command stepped forward, and a solemnity flashed in his eyes. Because the gate of Wuji County was opened, and the city was empty.
Such a situation made Zhang Yan feel an unusual atmosphere.
Previously, Zhang Yan patronized the county towns near Wuji County, and without exception, the city gates were closed. suddenly met someone who opened the door, which really made Zhang Yan unaccustomed to it and felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Yan looked up and saw a young boy standing on the city tower. After a moment's thought, he dragged his knife forward, rode his horse and shouted at the bottom of the city tower: "Who is on the city tower? ”
"Yingchuan Guo Jia!"
Guo Jia chuckled and replied loudly.
“……”
Zhang Yan thought about it carefully, and had never heard of such a person in Wuji County.
After a pause, Zhang Yan raised his head again and said loudly: "This general, Zhang Yan, this time I led the troops to pass through Wuji County, because there is a lack of food, grass and weapons in the army, so I need supplies from your county." You immediately prepare 10,000 stone of grain and grass, 1,000 sets of armor, 1,000 steel knives, and a million dollars, and Ben will immediately lead the troops away. Otherwise, you do so at your own risk. ”
Guo Jia gasped, what a big breath.
Not to mention millions of dollars, the county government can't even take out 10,000 dollars.
Even, there is no grain and grass for a hundred stones.
As for the high-grade armor and steel knives, the weapons in the treasury have been sold clean by the previous county commanders and officials, and they are empty, leaving Wang Lei, Guo Jia and Du Yi in a mess.
Nothing can be done under any conditions.
Guo Jia's mind changed sharply, and he continued: "General Zhang, the county commander knows that you have worked hard to lead the troops, and I admire General Zhang's ability to lead the troops. But General Zhang didn't know that because of General Zhang's prestige, the officials and county commanders in the county government had already fled with grain, grass, and money, and the new county commander only took office today, so he didn't have any money! I have heard that the neighboring counties of Wuji County have a lot of money, grain and grass, and if I ask them for it in the prestige of General Zhang, I will definitely be able to succeed. ”
When Zhang Yan heard this, her heart fluttered.
This kid is quite interesting.
Ben will be famous and should be respected wherever he goes.
"General, we went to Xinshi County in the west of Wuji County and Hanchang County in the east, and the county commanders of the two counties saw you, gave you very little money and food, and then said that the people in the neighboring counties were stupid and had a lot of money. Now, the young men on the tower of the city also say the same, and in my opinion, these officials are cunning and cunning, and deliberately deceive us. ”
Zhang Yan's general looked resentful and suspicious.
"Hmph, this kid is quite young, he is different from the old foxes in Xinshi County and Hanchang County, and he doesn't seem to be a fake. Besides, we have already received the news that the officials of Wuji County have escaped with money and food, and he is not lying. ”
Zhang Yan dragged the knife in his hand, looking proud.
Yu Poison's eyes rolled, and he said: "General, the kid on the city tower said that there is a new county commander. If this newly appointed county magistrate can come, there must be money. We shouted out the county order and extorted some money and food. At the same time, let the county order call the head of the Zhen family out, and let the Zhen family fund the money, let's go out for a trip, we can't go back empty-handed! ”
Zhang Yan praised and nodded: "You kid is smart, just do it!" ”
"Boy, where is the county order? Let him out. ”
Zhang Yan roared, and the momentum was compelling.
Guo Jia's eyes rolled, and he immediately replied: "General Zhang, the county commander knows that you are coming to Wuji County, and he is very conflicted in his heart!" He heard about the prestige of the general and wanted to cooperate with the general. However, the county magistrate thought that he was a new official, and Mengji Prefecture Mu Hanfu's trust should be loyal to his duties and swear to defend Wuji County. The prefectural commander was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to take the most respectful way for the general, and planned to fight the general fairly. Currently, the prefectural order is recruiting soldiers to prepare for battle. If the general wants to enter the city, the county order has ordered the city gate to be opened, and General Zhang can come in at any time. If the general is willing to fight fairly, please wait. ”
The words, with compliments and excitement, made Zhang Yan comfortable.
After Zhang Yan heard this, she smiled.
For a person who dares to resist, Zhang Yan will not have any good face. But after Zhang Yan listened to Guo Jia's words, his heart was even more fluttering, because he felt that the new county magistrate respected him!
This, good!
Moreover, the prefectural commander is a person who is loyal to the country, and he has no choice but to choose a war.
Respectable!
Zhang Yan had an impulse in his heart, and immediately said: "Ben will respect such a moral person, as you said, Ben will wait outside the city, waiting for him to bring troops." Wait for the general to defeat the county order, and then ask the squires in the city to donate money and grain. ”
Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief and finally stabilized Zhang Yan.
Yu Poison shook his head and said, "General, this is clearly a ploy to delay time. ”
Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "That kid has already made it clear, and I know it very well in my heart." However, this newly appointed prefectural magistrate deserves respect. Isn't it worth waiting for someone like that? ”
Yu was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "The reader is full of bad water, it's too bad." ”
"Da! Da!! ”
Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves in the city came, and Wang Lei carried the Ugin snake spear in his hand and came with three hundred guards.
Seeing this, Guo Jia said in his heart that it depends on your performance next.
