Chapter 44: You're a Good Man

A few days later, a group of soldiers were being inspected at the loquat gate in the east of Jiangling City, and the first horseman was Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, who led the army to garrison the loquat temple.

After verifying the identity of the soldiers guarding the gate, Yu Wenwen led people into the city and came to the wide carriage to stop, and then several women got out of the car, they nodded to Yu Wenwen and thanked them and left, these people were the women Yu Wenwen saved from the clutches of Chen Jun, who had been stranded in the Loquat Temple and returned to Jiangling today.

"Miss Xiao, Uncle Ling Ji will come back in a few days, and he will wait at home." Yu Wenwen said to a red-spotted woman, who was the ugly girl who was rescued by him in the Loquat Temple but couldn't find her uncle.

Chen's army had been retired for many days, and when the situation in the city was calm, Yu Wenwen brought several women stranded in the loquat temple back to Jiangling to reunite with their families, and everyone else said that only the red-spotted woman had no relatives in the city except for her uncle, who disappeared that day.

"The people's daughter thanked the general." The woman bowed to Yuwenwen and said, she was wearing a clean old cloth dress and carrying a package, but unfortunately the red spots on her face were shocking, so people didn't want to look at the second glance when they saw it, Yuwenwen asked her name, and the other party only said that her surname was Xiao.

Miss Xiao's uncle disappeared after the attack on Loquat Temple that day, Yu Wenwen sent people to look for him, but he couldn't find him, and then after repelling Chen's army, he sent people to inquire around, but he didn't see the surrounding villages, and the farmers said that they had seen the injured man.

Seeing that this hard-working woman was about to leave with the package on her back, Yu Wenwen said with concern: "Where is the girl's home in the city?" Why don't Ben send someone to send you back? ”

"No, no need," Miss Xiao immediately refused, and her tone was anxious, as if she was afraid that Yu Wenwen would follow her to know her home address.

'You're all ugly like this, aren't you still afraid that I'll take a fancy to you!' Yu Wenwen was a little annoyed in his heart, he was kind enough to care about it, but he was really angry when this ugly girl worried about the 'tail \ line'. As two stunning husbands, where would he be interested in this ugly of the best.

After the great war there will be chaos. If you are in the countryside, it is an unscrupulous squire who takes advantage of others to flee and occupy the land. If you are in the city, it is inevitable that someone will break into an empty house and loot valuable objects, and if this single woman comes home and encounters a thief or a bad neighbor bullying, it is really a shame that the heavens should not be called the earth.

She is ugly and ugly, she is a cardamom woman, if she is taken captive and sold to a remote mountain village to be a mother-in-law of an old bachelor, it will really fall into the fire pit.

Seeing that Yuwen Wen was misunderstood, he had bad intentions, and even Xu Shao, who was on the side, couldn't see it, so he explained: "Miss Xiao, I don't know how many splashes are about to move after the war in the city, and the girl has no relatives at home, Yuwen Tongjun doesn't think much about it, but he is worried that the girl will be bullied by the rats of the City Fox Society." ”

"I'm sorry" Miss Xiao bowed her head and apologized with a red face, Yuwenwen waved her hand and asked Zhang Yu to lead a few people to follow her back, one is to help, and it is to make a strong voice to let some ill-intentioned people know that this woman who went home alone has a 'backstage'.

Helping people to send the Buddha to the west, Yu Wenwen has taken care of Miss Xiao these days, and simply helped the last trip well, so as not to harm people's lives as soon as she went back, so as to be blind and kind.

After the chores were handled, Yu Wenwen began to do business: "Heizong, the matter of escorting the grain and grass back will be handed over to you." Be careful and be clear, don't give people a trick, fifth brother, you and Ben will go on a business trip. ”

"Yes!" Xu Shao and Fifth Brother Chen replied that they were not here to escort a few women home, but to do something serious.

"The surname is Xiao, and there is an uncle who forgot to ask him what his uncle's surname is" Yu Wenwen seemed to remember something, and then shook his head, what else could he do if such a large red spot on the other party's face was ugly like that.

No matter what the age, there may be differences in aesthetics, but there is no difference in being able to treat a birthmark as a beauty.

"I always feel that something is wrong, it must be that I didn't sleep well last night, and I thought too much." ……

Gangneung West Fortress. In the study in the backyard of the former Jiangling Governor's Office, Yuwen Wen was chatting with his brother Yu Wenming, and only then did Yu Wenwen and Fifth Brother Chen come to visit Yu Wenming to discuss military affairs. After the business talks, the two brothers continued to talk about personal matters.

"You, you, my father's orders have been forgotten and I have been thinking about stepping into battle all day long, where is this the appearance of a commander of an army." Yu Wenming said with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and he began to perform his brother's duties to reprimand his younger brother Yu Wenwen for playing horse battles with enemy generals when he set foot in camp a few days ago.

"Fortunately, I was just beaten and swollen in the eye, what if I was poked somewhere, and I was missing my arms and legs? If you don't have that ability, you don't have to be strong! ”

"Fifteen, that bastard actually came to my brother to complain!" Yuwen Wen had no remorse, but gritted his teeth and denounced the behavior of his henchman and servant Yuwen 15 as a 'traitor'.

"I asked him how he dared to hide it, and besides, he was loyal, and he couldn't let you do it!" Yu Wenming is also a younger brother who can't take oil and salt, "Now that the situation in Liang Country is calm on the surface, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, you and I have to be careful to watch out for it." ”

The Chen army retreated, and the army took control of Jiangling as they wished, taking over the heavy responsibility of 'protecting' the Liang State, Yu Wenming kept his promise to let the Zhou army, who had originally defended the city, freely choose the way to go, and most of them followed the deputy governor Cui Jun to lay down their arms and leave Jiangling West to defect to the Shinju Governor's Mansion of the Great Zhou.

In this way, the originally inconspicuous contradiction surfaced: how to deal with the relationship with Liang Guo.

For example, when Yuwenwen went south from the Han River to the ancient canal through the Hanjin of the Liang State, the reason why the Hanjin guards did not resist was that Yu Wenming gave them a clear promise from their superiors:

If it can drive out the forces of the traitorous minister Yang Jian, then Anzhou will give Liang greater autonomy, especially not to interfere in Liang's internal affairs.

"Their purpose is not simple, they must want to fish in troubled waters and eat both." Yu Wenwen is not a fool, and he can probably guess what the forces within the Liang State that support and join forces with him are thinking.

Yu Wenming nodded: "Of course, the great general Chen Shiwu is one of the main figures of this force, and the purpose of assisting our army to go south to capture Ji Nan City is to hope that the chains around the neck of Liang Guo can be loosened, and the two sides are allies rather than superiors and subordinates." ”

"Destroying the Liang State is a matter of thirty or forty thousand people for a month or two, but guarding the Liang State at the border has to arrange fifty or sixty thousand people to be on guard day and night. To assist Liang Guo to help repel foreign enemies, it would take nearly 70,000 or 80,000 people to deploy defenses everywhere, and also to use naval forces. It's not a good deal. Yuwen Wen also crackled when he counted the accounts.

"Erlang has not counted the time and troops consumed in the future to quell the rebellion. Now that our army is insufficient, we can't be greedy for more, as long as we can stabilize the Liang State, then there will be fewer constraints and we can go all out to deal with the enemy in the north. ”

Yuwen Wen saw that his brother mentioned the north and asked how the battle was now, and Yu Wenming roughly said that the situation was basically stalemate.

Luoyang's imperial army is still in the Tiger Prison Pass and the 'pseudo-Zhou' army tug-of-war, the Anzhou army has surrounded Shangwan, I believe that it will be conquered in a few days, the only worry is whether Luoyang in the north will send reinforcements to the south to sneak attack.

As for the forces of the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion in the east of Shangwan, part of it has been pinned down by the Eastern Route Army led by Sima Wei Chishun, the governor of Anzhou in the south, and the rest of the troops can only be reinforced in one direction at most, and the greatest possibility is to support Luoyang in the north, attack the 'pseudo-Zhou' army that occupies Xingzhou and occupy the Tiger Prison Pass from the flank.

In general, the battle situation is slightly favorable to Anzhou, but most of the troops are scattered, if there is a slight accident by a strange soldier from somewhere to break through, there will be a possibility of instant collapse, now the only thing that can mobilize the fire is the army of the Huangzhou Governor's Office, but after the Chen army retreats from Jiangling, it is likely to attack the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion as a retaliation, so the situation is still very tense.

"There's a lot of stuff in the city. As the commander of the army, the elder brother must be careful not to give people a chance to take advantage of it. "Yu Wenwen is very concerned about his brother's personal safety.

"For the sake of brother's natural savings, the reinforcements sent by Anzhou will arrive in Jiangjin Shu in a few days, and then Erlang will camp at the east gate of Jiangling to assist in the defense, and the army will be stationed for at least more than a month to firmly control the situation."

Yuwen Wen saw that his brother was busy with affairs, so he chatted for a while, got up to say goodbye, and when he got out of the official office, he saw Fifth Brother Chen and a group of guards waiting at the door, but he didn't see Zhang Yu and others come back.

"After staying in the yamen for half an hour, why haven't they finished their work, could it be that they are lost?"

"Could it be that something happened?" Li Shimo, who was following him, was open-mouthed, and he was completely a typical representative of saying the wrong thing with good intentions.

The group returned to the place where the women got off the bus and inquired around, and then, according to the information of the Gangneung masses, led by an enthusiastic person, walked to a neighborhood, only to see a courtyard surrounded by people, and everyone seemed to be watching the excitement.

Yuwen Wen originally thought that he would squeeze in, but he really couldn't squeeze in, he couldn't bear it, he glanced at Li Shimo, and a group of rough men covered in stinky sweat drilled in, and some onlookers looked back impatiently, and when they looked at their fierce looks, they automatically moved aside.

"Master Jun spares his life. The little ones don't dare anymore! A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks knelt in the courtyard crying, and with him two others. Zhang Yu and several colleagues looked at them expressionlessly on the side, while several officials stood next to them, and the girl Xiao with red spots on her face hid behind Zhang Yu and the others.

"Li Laosan, it's okay for you to steal chickens and dogs on weekdays, but now after the burglary, you dare to hurt people, are you using the knife in your hand as an official!" A leader-like man in the official mission pointed a knife at the three men and shouted at them.

"What's going on?" Yu Wenwen paced into the courtyard surrounded by guards, and the onlookers stretched their necks to enjoy a new round of good performances.

Zhang Yu and several guards greeted him and told him what had happened: it turned out that something had happened when they escorted Miss Xiao home.

When the group came to the gate of the courtyard, Miss Xiao thanked them and asked them to stay and enter the courtyard alone, and when they saw each other enter the room, they turned around and went back, Zhang Yu had a little more heart, and waited outside for a while, as if he heard movement in the room, and shouted to Miss Xiao.

Miss Xiao's voice came from the room, saying that it was okay, but Zhang Yu heard that there was panic in his tone, he was thoughtful, and felt that something was wrong, so he commanded his comrades to outflank him left and right, climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, and then rushed into the room.

"These three people were stealing in the room, but they didn't expect Miss Xiao to come back and hold her hostage in a hurry, wanting to wait for us to kill people after we left!"

Fortunately, Zhang Yu and others were nimble, and they subdued and rescued the kidnapped Miss Xiao in three or two clicks before the other party reacted.

"As soon as this official errand came in, he said indiscriminately, I will make trouble," Zhang Yu was indignant, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by the official boss.

"Misunderstanding, military master, no, general!" The leader was sweating profusely, "The lowly position saw that these eye-catching students thought it was a soldier and a ruffian, but this was all a misunderstanding, and the lowly duty will definitely bring these few splashes to justice!" ”

'Misunderstanding? I think it's a nest of snakes and rats! Yu Wenwen sneered in his heart, as soon as he came in, he found that the three people kneeling on the ground looked at the official with different eyes, as if they were acting, and then listened to what Zhang Yu said, as soon as the other party came over, he didn't ask for the reason, and judged that it was him who made trouble, which was obviously a cover-up.

Even in the twenty-first century, it is not uncommon for law and order cats to raise chickens and dogs, and mice, so Yuwen Wen is not so easy to fool: "Misunderstanding? Ben Jiang didn't kill enough thieves a few days ago, why don't you try the knife now? ”

"The general is angry! The humble duty must be handled impartially to find out the mastermind behind the scenes! Several officers and generals knew that they were angry, and they were so frightened that they turned pale and were about to kneel and kowtow.

"That's it, since you have the heart, then these plops will be brought back for interrogation." Yu Wenwen looked at those people with a smile, "I will lead the army to be stationed outside the loquat gate in a few days, and if Miss Xiao is missing a hair, she will go to the barracks as an arrow target!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes"

"Get out!"

Seeing that the official errand was still angry with the three splashy flashers, Yu Wenwen knew what he was thinking again, so he reminded: "Miss Xiao still has to live, you can't stay here for a lifetime." ”

The city fox society rats are all some of the temperament of seeing the wind and the rudder, and the officials who cover them have always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, since they know that Miss Xiao has a backstage cover, there will be no long-sighted people who come to the door to pick quarrels and provoke troubles in the future.

Li Shimo on the side was stared at by the onlookers, very uncomfortable, so he tore open his throat and shouted: "Scattered, scattered, scattered, scattered, and not caught and raped, and all of them looked straight!" ”

"The people's daughter thanked the general." Miss Xiao timidly stepped forward and saluted, and she realized at this time that Yu Wenwen had a good intention to send someone to send her back.

"Miss Xiao doesn't have to worry about anyone coming to make it difficult again, if you have any hardships, you can go to the barracks outside the loquat gate to find Zhang Yu in a few days." Yu Wenwen nodded and said, seeing that this was the case, he was going to lead people away.

"General, thank you for taking care of you these days." Miss Xiao bowed solemnly, "You are a good person. ”

"Uh, it's okay." Yuwen Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, answered a few words, and then turned to leave.

O conscience of heaven and earth! I don't ask for anything in return, I helped you do so many good things, and as a result, you gave me a good person card for no reason, what's going on! (To be continued.) )
