Chapter 394: King Fu's face is not good
King Fu quickly found Mao Wenlong and informed him of his worries, but Mao Wenlong did not embarrass him, and agreed very easily.
King Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Mao for your understanding, when the matter here is over, you must go to your brother's land at that time, let me do my best as a landlord, and by the way, I will accompany you and the Mao clan." ”
Mao Wenlong grinned toothily and said: "It must be certain, although King Fu can rest assured, the south will definitely be yours in the future." ”
King Fu was overjoyed, he flattered Mao Wenlong like this, just in the hope of getting his support, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. With a heart full of joy, King Fu had no scruples about the court and his imperial brother at the moment.
Mao Wenlong now occupies Henan and Shaanxi, which can become a natural barrier for King Fu. With Mao Wenlong's support, the imperial court did not want to pass him to command Nanjing, so that he could be the master of the house in Nanjing and no longer be constrained by the imperial court.
The army continued to advance, and arrived at Qiantang County in the afternoon, which is worthy of the tall city wall of a prosperous place, and it is very well repaired. The heavy gates are still very new, and they have obviously just been renovated.
According to the agreement, King Fu ordered Gao Jie to deceive and open the city gate, but to everyone's surprise, the soldiers guarding the city did not open the city gate immediately after hearing the arrival of King Fu, but lied that they were going to report to the county order to deal with it.
Helpless, Gao Jie had no choice but to agree and come back to report to King Fu.
And when Mao Wenlong heard this, he tightened his eyebrows, and he felt that things should not be so simple.
A small county magistrate will obviously not be so lazy when he learns of the arrival of King Fu, no matter whether this King Fu is true or not, he should come as soon as he receives the news. And the speed of the Dongjiang army along the way was not fast, and when it was not close to the county seat, it must have been known that the county order was coming.
"Brother Zhu, if I'm not wrong, this county order shouldn't open the city gate easily." Mao Wenlong suddenly said to King Fu.
"He dares!" King Fu was immediately furious.
No matter how he said it, he is also a prince, the royal brother of the current saint, how dare a small county magistrate turn him away as a prince.
However, the development of events was not as Mao Wenlong expected, and Gao Jie soon came back angrily to report that the soldiers defending the city still refused to open the city gate. It is said that the county decree requires that only King Fu and a few retinues be allowed to enter the city from the hanging basket, and that the army must stay outside the city.
Hearing such news, King Fu scolded on the spot, and then the angry Ceji immediately went to reason with the county order.
"Dog County Order, you are so bold enough to dare to treat this king like this." King Fu's angry scolding echoed in the air of the county seat.
The county order with a red face, after hearing the sound, soon appeared at the mouth of the city, and looked at the angry Queen Fu condescendingly, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "King Fu should not be angry, and the lower officials are also acting in accordance with the practice of the imperial court." There is no transgression, and I ask King Fu to forgive me. ”
Because of the self-respect of the mercenaries of the feudal kings in various places, Chongzhen has already ordered first, if any feudal king comes to the city with a large army. Local officials can refuse to open the gates and let people into the city.
Of course, King Fu knew that what the county decree said was true, but he really couldn't swallow this breath, and even shouted angrily: "This king will give you a moment to think clearly, if you don't obediently open the city gate and let me wait in, then don't blame this king for ordering the siege!" ”
Zhu Gaosong is also out of the way, and the county order in front of him is obviously no longer kept. Otherwise, he will definitely tell Chongzhen in the future, rather than letting him go to the informant in the future and put himself in an extremely unfavorable predicament, it is better to take advantage of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army to kill this county order after attacking the city, and save him from future troubles.
The county commander's face changed slightly, he looked at the army behind King Fu, and secretly calculated in his heart, and finally seemed to feel that his chances of victory were not bad. When even Leng Yan responded: "Your Majesty, please think twice about King Fu, if you order the siege of the city, it will be a rebellion, and the emperor will learn about it in the future, I'm afraid King Fu will not have a good life." ”
If you don't say this, maybe King Fu will also consider whether to kill or not to kill the county order. But as soon as he said this, he had nothing to hesitate.
With a gloomy face, King Fu left the county order on the city tower, rode his horse to Mao Wenlong's side, and said coldly: "Brother Mao, give the order to attack the city, that county order is determined not to open the city gate." ”
Mao Wenlong thought for a moment before nodding to King Fu and saying, "Then please ask Brother Zhu to step back, and I will take over this matter." ”
King Fu nodded, didn't want to snort, and immediately stayed away from the city with his four subordinates and nearly a thousand personal guards.
Mao Wenlong rode his horse slowly forward to the city, behind him were Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo, the two of them were excited, fighting is always their happiest thing.
"Where is the county order of Qiantang County?" Mao Wenlong lazily snorted coldly at the city tower.
"Who are you?" The prefectural order once again popped up at the battlements.
"Contemptible Mao Wenlong, you are the county magistrate of Qiantang County, right?" Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes slightly, recognizing the oily fat face of the county order.
Hearing Mao Wenlong's name for self-preservation, the county magistrate was obviously stunned for a long time, and his face changed, as if he was weighing the truth of what Mao Wenlong said. The name Mao Wenlong is like thunder in Qiantang County, and it can be said to be a well-known figure.
It is precisely because of Mao Wenlong that the Mao family can be in the limelight in Qiantang County for a while. But the person who claimed to be Mao Wenlong in front of him was young and not logical at all. Moreover, the fact that Mao Wenlong had died in Dongjiang Town had already spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the person who called himself Mao Wenlong was very suspicious at this moment.
The county commander had a certain number in his heart, and he sneered: "It's a big joke in the world, Mao Wenlong has long been dead, and there are still people who claim to be Mao Wenlong, hahaha......"
The ancient news is such a blockage, and it is clear that Mao Wenlong has risen in Henan and Shaanxi for three years. But in the south, there are obviously still people who don't know the situation over there.
Mao Wenlong shook his head helplessly, no wonder there was a famous saying in ancient times, called 'The mountain is high and the emperor is far away' It seems that it is true.
Mao Wenlong's purpose is very simple, just to recognize the county magistrate himself. He already knew him, and he didn't bother to tell him whether he was a real Mao Wenlong or a fake Mao Wenlong. He whispered to Chen Jisheng: "The next thing will be handed over to you, can you do it if you have an hour to break through the city gate?" ”
Chen Jisheng has been looking around since he came up, and he already has a certain number in his heart, and he said with a smile: "It doesn't take an hour, if there is no accident, the city gate can be broken in an instant, and the army can drive straight in!" ”
