Chapter 546: Waiting
It didn't take long for Zhao Hongrun to post this notice all over the city to reach the ears of the hidden thieves in Yangxia, making the leaders of the hidden thieves feel both relieved and depressed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Thankfully, since King Su Zhao Run posted this notice all over the city, it would be difficult for him to regret it in the future, and the leaders of the hidden thieves did not have to worry that the King of Su would cross the river and tear down the bridge.
What is depressing is that this proclamation is clearly adding fuel to the fire, wanting to make the already very fierce struggle more intense and cruel.
"I am a hidden thief, it is simply the two fighting cocks that Zhao Run is forbidden for, pecking each other hard, just for that handful of fried rice!"
Duan Pei, the leader of Duan Lou, was indignant in his heart after hearing the news.
Hearing this, the leader of the black spider, a dark-skinned and short and sturdy man, the black spider said lightly: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about this?" The only thing we can do at the moment is to peck at the rooster on the other side and fight for that handful of fried rice from the owner. He deliberately accentuated the word master in his words, mocking and self-deprecating, quite strong.
At this time, the leader of the mourning crows, the man who was wrapped in a black cloak and pretending to be a ghost, laughed in his hoarse voice: "If you think this or that, why don't you quit?" I think that handful of fried rice is more and more fragrant and attractive, hehe......"
Duan Pei glanced at the mourning crow hatefully, snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Let him quit now? Are you kidding?!
It may be that seeing that the atmosphere at the table has become a little solemn, Ying Kang clapped his hands, and said: "On the bright side, that Zhao Run didn't mean to cross the river and tear down the bridge. And on the bad side, His Royal Highness King Su is really handy in using his power...... Becoming a king or defeating a thief, as soon as his notice is posted, whether it is us or the golden hook dog thief, we have to shake our spirits again and fight to the death. ”
But isn't it, the winner is praised as loyal, not only can he climb the high branch of King Su Zhao Run, but also have his own hidden thief village, so he no longer has to hide, which can be described as fame and fortune; And if you lose, you will become a thief, not only will you get nothing, but you will be added to all kinds of crimes, and it will be difficult to turn over in your life.
The difference between the two is like a world of difference, forcing the hidden thieves to muster up their spirits, and do their best to sacrifice their lives to peck at the rooster opposite.
And who will benefit the most?
Isn't it the Su King Zhao Run who sits firmly in the Diaoyutai?
The hidden thieves of Hehe Yang Xia were reduced to two fighting cocks in the trap of King Zhao Run, and they had to peck each other fiercely for a handful of fried rice, which was what the leaders of the hidden thieves felt the most depressed and indignant.
At this time, it was too late to use other means to make the Su King submit, because just two days ago, the main force of the second group of Shangshui troops who came to support had arrived in Yangxia under the leadership of the deputy general Zhai Huang.
A full 5,000 soldiers!
And this time, the hidden thieves finally understood the reason why the main force of the Shangshui Army was able to arrive in Yangxia so quickly: this support army took the transport ship of the Imperial Court Household Department, passed through the Cai River and the Vortex River, and finally arrived in Yangxia.
Even, this second batch of Shangshui army reinforcements also brought a lot of rice grain and a batch of weapons to Yangxia.
There are two main types of weapons in this batch, one is a wooden box that looks like a wooden box and fires crossbow arrows, and the merchant water sergeant calls it a trap crossbow box. The other is a convenient and compact sleeve arrow that can be worn on the small arm.
That organ crossbow box, needless to say, the reason why the hidden thieves and rangers in Yangxia County were killed by the Shang Shui Army that day was defeated miserably, this weapon should be the first credit.
As for the sleeve arrows, the leaders of the hidden thieves are actually not unfamiliar, because it is said that this convenient and small weapon was also born in the hands of the craftsmen of the Lu State, and it is the weapon used by the latter to defend themselves.
Unexpectedly, they Wei can also build it, and once it is built, there are hundreds of pieces.
At present, Yangxia County has stationed 12,000 soldiers of the Shangshui Army, and even, because the county cannot accommodate such a large number of troops, the Shangshui Army has built two camps outside the county, one is called Xu Ying, which is guarded by 3,000 people, and the other is called Zhai Ying, which is the deputy general of Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, and Zhai Huang, who is also a 3,000-person general.
So far, even if the Fuqiu people and the Yiqiu people, including the Black Spider, the Mourning Crow, Duan Lou, Geng Lou, Xujiazhai and other hidden thief forces abandon their previous suspicions and work together, they can't help Zhao Hongrun.
What's more, at present, the hidden thieves such as the Yiqiu people, the black spider, the mourning crow, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou have formed an insoluble enmity with the Fuqiu people.
It turned out that they had attacked the lair of the Fuqiu people two days ago, but they didn't take it down.
In retaliation, Jin Gou sent some people to the lair of the black spider and the mourning crow, killed all the hidden thieves left behind in the camp, and burned the latter's lair with a fire.
The strength of the black spider and the mourning crow was not as good as that of the Fuqiu people, so they brought people and horses to defect to the Yiqiu people.
In order to take revenge, the two and Ying Kang fought with Jin Gou for a while yesterday, killing the mountains and forests of Geyang Mountain, and the corpses of each other were everywhere.
At this time, abandon the previous suspicions? Are you kidding?!
Not to mention that Ying Kang will not approve, even the black spider and the mourning crow will not agree.
The three of them had already made a decision, and they were bound to break the golden hook into ten thousand pieces!
But what made them feel a headache was that after Jin Gou learned that their gang had formed an alliance, he wooed them to Xujiazhai.
For Xujiazhai, the leaders of the hidden thieves used to have a lot of shame, because Xujiazhai was between the hidden thieves and the bandits, and sometimes in order to rob money, it was not unheard of to kill civilians who passed by.
Therefore, the hidden thieves looked down on Xu Jiazhai in the past, thinking that these people had lost their faith in warriors and completely degenerated into a gang of thieves.
On the other hand, the black spider and the mourning crow, although they are engaged in killing people like the Fuqiu people, killing people like hemp, they never kill unarmed civilians, nor do they rob them.
It is true that they are wicked, but they also have their principles.
A hidden thief is very different from a thief or a robber!
After eating something briefly, Ying Kang and the others began to discuss attacking the lair of the Fuqiu people.
Because if they don't fight, Jin Gou will come over, the two camps are already distinct, and this fire is getting stronger and stronger, not to mention that Zhao Hongrun has added another handful of firewood, how to extinguish it?
And just when the hidden thieves led by Yiqiu and Fuqiu were inseparable from each other, Zhao Hongrun stayed leisurely in Yangxia County.
Even, he still has the leisure to take a few women who were temporarily placed in Yu County to Yangxia, after all, the entire Yangxia County has been completely controlled by the Shang Shui Army, and he is not afraid of any trouble.
And the purpose of picking up the girls was for Zhao Hongrun to let Mi Jiang help take a look at Ling Ma Qian's condition in Yangxia County and see if the latter's madness could be cured.
Because of the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, in addition to the witchcraft of Pakistan, the former studied medicine, and the latter studied poison and poison Gu, so it was just right for Mi Jiang to diagnose Ma Qian.
After all, watching a well-educated person who could have become a pillar of the Wei State become crazy, Zhao Hongrun didn't feel good in his heart.
But unfortunately, after diagnosing Ma Qian's condition, Mi Jiang told Zhao Hongrun that the county magistrate did not become insane because of poison or something, but because of heart disease.
As the saying goes, there is no cure for heart disease, and in this regard, Mi Jiang regretfully said that she was helpless.
"Is there nothing that can be done?"
Looking at the Yangxia County Ling Ma Qian, who was still calling himself Wang Xiancheng, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked Mi Jiang: "Isn't there any special secret art in Pakistan?" ”
Mi Jiang rolled his eyes, and told Zhao Hongrun with an expressionless face that the witch doctor's technique in Pakistan is not as magical as the world thinks, and what can be cured can be cured, and what cannot be cured is still incurable.
"If I were you, I would send him back to his hometown so that he could live out his old age in peace. Perhaps in his hometown, his madness may not be improved. Leaving a word of advice, Mi Jiang walked away.
Let him return to his hometown...... Is it?
Zhao Hongrun pondered.
It is true that when the matter of the hidden thief in Yangxia is solved, the imperial court will definitely send a new county commander, and when the time comes, the crazy former county commander will be in Yangxia County, which is indeed not true.
But the problem is that he sent Ma Qian back to his hometown like this, and Zhao Hongrun couldn't bear it.
A lonely old man who has no children, and who is still crazy, will not let him fend for himself if he returns to his hometown?
Zhao Hongrun knew very well that their Wei State did not have any support for retired or resigned officials, so some Qing officials had been officials with clean sleeves all their lives, and in the end they surrendered to old age and were destitute, and such examples abounded.
It is precisely because of this that many officials will make a sum of money before leaving office as a living necessity in the future, thus contributing to the unhealthy trend in the imperial court.
It's a pity that although Zhao Hongrun wants to change this situation, this belongs to the category of official governance, and now it is the prince of the East Palace who is in charge of official governance.
Obviously, the East Palace will not allow Zhao Hongrun to dictate to the officials.
I don't know if Brother Yongwang and them have started to do something to the East Palace......
With a long breath, Zhao Hongrun held the back of his head with both hands and sat lazily on the chair.
He didn't blame King Yongwang Hongyu for not coming forward to save him when he decided to leave Daliang to avoid rumors, after all, if Zhao Hongrun continued to stay in Daliang at that time, it would not only be bad for him, not only for himself, but also for King Yong, and not good for the prince of the East Palace.
And once he, Zhao Hongrun, leaves Daliang, I believe that the battle for the throne on Daliang's side will undoubtedly become very intense.
Brother Yongwang should be able to fight the East Palace, right? Although Luo Ying, the staff member of the East Palace, is a rare talent......
Zhao Hongrun guessed boredly.
Because the only thing he can do now is wait.
Wait for the Yiqiu people and the Fuqiu people to attack each other, and fight a victory or defeat.
Waiting for the royal capital Daliang, the battle for the throne between King Yong Hongyu and the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, won a result.
Other than that, there really wasn't much he could do right now.
However, while Zhao Hongrun was waiting for the results, he suddenly received an official document from the imperial court, which was actually sent by the Ministry of War.
I saw that it was written on it that it was unfavorable for the Chenggao army to encircle and suppress the big thief Huanhu, and the eight hundred cavalry of Huanhu fled into Sanchuan Yishan, and infiltrated into the hinterland of Wei through Yangzhai.
Finally, the Ministry of War reminded Zhao Hongrun to be cautious, and if he could find traces of Huanhu, he would send troops to suppress him.
Huan Hu? …… This guy is capable.
Zhao Hongrun was really a little stunned.
After all, he was able to escape smoothly from the encirclement and suppression of the Chenggao army, and unexpectedly sneaked into the territory of Wei, and actually got rid of the pursuers, that Huanhu's ability and courage should not be underestimated.
Is this person in a panic, or is it another Dangjun traveling horse? (To be continued.) )
