The camp was looted, and the only captive committed suicide again. At this moment, all the officials in Wuyang County were dumbfounded.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?" Some people are unwilling to accept the facts, and they stomp their feet around in the snow.

"What should Zhang Junshou do? What should Zhang Junshou do? "Someone finally looked at the long term and shouted with a crying voice. The king thief Ermao has not known how many days he has been gone? I can't figure it out, and now Liyang City has planted a big flag! What can I do? As soon as Liyang is lost, the heart of the right Wuhou army will be chaotic. If Youwuhou is defeated, the entire southern part of Hebei will be rampant by Zhang Jincheng!

"What if Zhang Jun guards the people and guards the city together?" Chu Wanjun was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and he dared to think of any hypothesis. "Liyang City is so high, the king thief only has a thousand subordinates. As long as Zhang Junshou can take some precautions in advance......."

"Zhang Junshou as a precaution?" Cheng Weide of Guixiang County couldn't get used to the faces of his colleagues like mourning, and shrugged his shoulders and asked. "We didn't see the thief's movements when we were so close. Zhang Junshou is nearly two hundred miles away from here, can he see it better than us? If I were a thief, I would not have attacked the city openly. Send some people into the city first, kill people and set fire to them in the middle of the night......"

Hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in Chu Wanjun's heart was immediately shattered, and he didn't care about saving Sven, pointing at Wei Deshen's nose and scolding, "You, which side are you on?" Liyang City is broken, what good fruit can you get with your surname Wei?! ”

"I'm just stating a fact." Wei Deshen shrugged his shoulders again, disdainful of arguing with these irrational guys. At the beginning of the side, he turned his gaze to the marching commander Shi Weizheng, "Brother Xuancheng, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Although Wei Zheng is known for his long-term vision, he is not a military general after all, and he can't pay any attention to it for a while. I had to forcibly suppress the panic in my heart, and discussed with everyone in a low voice, "There are few people under Zhang Wenqi's command, and Liyang Cang is afraid that it will not be guaranteed." In today's plan, we can only find a way to ensure that the right Wuhou can retreat with his whole body. As long as General Feng can be withdrawn alive, he may end the game and settle accounts with Zhang Thief in the future. If General Feng receives the news of the loss of Liyang and is in chaos......"

"Then we're going to have blood mold!" Chu Wanjun was so anxious that his nose and eyes were crooked. His ideas were slightly different from Wei Zheng's plans. In terms of jurisdiction, Liyang City falls within the scope of responsibility of Feng Xiaoci and Zhang Wenqi. So as long as Feng Xiaoci is alive, the court can't just take others to the top of the tank. But in case Feng Xiaoci couldn't hold his breath after hearing the news that Liyang was attacked, he was accidentally cut down by thieves. Those who come forward to bear the sin have to be replaced by someone else. At that time, the treasure of Wuyang County will not escape the crime of sitting idly by, and these civil and military staff members in Wuyang County will probably have to suffer lawsuits.

As a military general, Wei Deshen was calmer than Chu Wanjun and other civilian officials, but the words that came out of his mouth were like falling into an ice cave, "I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden from Old General Feng." If I am Zhang Jin, no matter whether I defeat Liyang or not, I will spread the news to disrupt the military morale of the right Wuhou. Moreover, once Liyang is lost, the supply of grain and grass to the Marquis of Youwu will inevitably be interrupted. At that time, without anyone informing him, Feng Xiaoci can also deduce that his back road has been cut! ”

"You ,......" Chu Wanjun glared at Wei Deshen, full of anger. If it weren't for the taboo that the other party was much more skilled than his own martial arts, he would have been eager to immediately push someone Wei into the fire and burn him to death. Wei Deshen was already not on good terms with him, so he coldly replied with a roll of his eyes, and counted in a low voice, "Where did you offend the master of the book?" I remember that five days ago, the lowly government had planned to lead the troops across the river to investigate, which one of the dead people refused to allocate the seal letter to the lowly food, grass and equipment, which led to today's loss? ”

"The surname is Wei, don't push people too much!" Chu Wanjun completely lost his mind, and rushed forward with his teeth and claws. All his colleagues were afraid that he would suffer a loss, so they hurriedly hugged him, "The master of the book, the master of the book is angry." Lord Wei just said casually, everyone is a colleague, and everyone loses, how can he put all the blame on you alone?! ”

"Not necessarily. Wei is a martial artist, so he likes to tell the truth! Wei Deshen didn't appreciate it at all, and pouted and sneered.

Chu Wanjun jumped like thunder, pointed at Wei Deshen's nose, and talked foul language. If Wei Deshen insists on reporting, he will become the first choice for the top cylinder. These colleagues around them will see that what they say now will be a loss, and everyone behind them will definitely step on a few feet in order to wash themselves clean.

The soldiers didn't know what was going on between the adults, and when they heard the scolding, they looked at each other in surprise. It was really shameless to follow the master book, and the marching commander Shi Weizheng hurriedly walked in front of him, and explained with a smile, "The master book is a little restless, and Wei Xiancheng will not say a word." Bad words can't solve any problems, and now we can only treat dead horses as live horses......"

"How?" Chu Wanjun heard a little hope from Wei Zheng's words, stopped scolding, and asked with a pant.

In essence, he is not a villain. It's just that he is short-sighted, and he can't get along with martial artists like Wei Deshen. As a colleague, Wei Zheng really couldn't bear to watch everyone send Chu Wanjun to the offering table as a sacrifice, put himself in the other party's shoes and thought about it, and added in a low voice, "No matter how everyone shirks it, I'm afraid the responsibility can't be shirked." It's just a matter of who bears more and who bears less. Instead of blaming each other here, it is better to take advantage of the unclear news to find a way to make amends! ”

"You mean, how do you make it up?" The colleagues waited impatiently and asked questions.

"This matter has to be carefully calculated, calculated, and not done at will!" Wei Zheng glanced at everyone and raised his voice a little to emphasize, "Everyone must work together to do this well, and I'm afraid we will have to pay a little price!" ”

"If Xuan Cheng has a good plan, he can say it bluntly. What Wei should do, Wei is by no means ambiguous! Wei Deshen took half a step forward and took the initiative to express his position. The previous few words were all angry nonsense. Don't worry too much about the master book, is Wei the one who fell into the well? ”

Seeing that Wei Deshen took the initiative to retreat, Chu Wanjun, who was already unreasonable, also hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, "Wei County Cheng Gaoyi, Chu is inscribed in the five!" In case the imperial court is determined to be investigated, you can rest assured that Chu will not shirk the responsibility that Chu Mou carries. Anyway, it's just a big deal, and the death of the store is exchanged for the safety of everyone. Chu's death is worth it! ”

These words already sounded like the last words of death, and everyone who heard them was concerned in their hearts. There are people who have a good relationship with Chu Wanjun, who have already shed tears, and responded sadly, "I waited for the place to be preserved, but in the end I became a sinner." This Great Sui Dynasty's Yulu, don't eat it! ”

"Yes, it's okay not to eat. Everyone will advance and retreat together, and we will be able to ensure the safety of the master book! The other staff members listened with sorrow and shouted.

Seeing the appearance of everyone looking for death and life, Wei Zheng was so angry that he laughed dumbly. "Hehe, it's not that serious. Even if the imperial court got the news, it would be a month later. The brothers are watching, so don't mess with yourself! ”

Only then did the officials of Wuyang County remember the brothers around them, and they looked around, their faces flushed. Wei Deshen didn't want everyone to continue to be embarrassed in front of everyone, so he took Wei Zheng's words and proposed in a low voice, "Let's take the brothers back to the camp and settle down first, and go to the Chinese military tent to discuss something." The brethren are rested before they can work hard for us! ”

"That's right!" Chu Wanjun rarely agreed with Wei Deshen, nodded, and echoed in a low voice. After that, he barely cheered up, and Wei Zheng and Wei Deshen separated from each other to rectify the soldiers, played a triumphant song, and slowly retreated to the east bank of Zhangshui. After the brothers under his command returned to the camp to rest, they dragged their tired bodies into the Chinese army and discussed the next countermeasures with their colleagues.

With nearly an hour of hard work as a buffer, Wei Zheng's thinking gradually became clearer. Seeing that his colleagues had arrived, he cleared his throat and spoke first. "The current situation is that we only know that Wang Ermao may have gone to Liyang. It is not clear whether Liyang was attacked by it. Therefore, we can't speculate randomly, let alone spread the news to mess up our own military morale. ”

The officials nodded yes. Relieved from the sudden blow, they all knew that the position they were in was awkward. If the thieves hadn't attacked Liyang at all and passed on the unconfirmed news to Feng Xiaoci, they might have been accused of deliberately disturbing the morale of the army. If Wang Ermao had already captured Liyang, it would be the same whether the news would be passed on to Feng Xiaoci or not. The old general has his own countermeasures, and there is no shortage of Wuyang County's fingers.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wei Zheng cleared his throat and continued: "Liyang is far away from Fushan, and even if the king thief succeeds, the news will not be transmitted to Zhang Jincheng so quickly. Zhang Jin said that if he wanted to get the grain in Liyang Cang, he first had to pass Feng Xiaoci's level. When did the thieves completely defeat Youwuhou, when could they set off to the south. During this period, I'm afraid there will be at least five to seven days! ”

"It is possible that the king thief attacked Liyang for the purpose of harming Feng Xiaoci." Wei Deshen nodded, and added in a low voice, "If Liyang is lost, the right martial arts army will be in turmoil, and the purpose of the king thief will be achieved." If Youwu Hou hurriedly pounced back, he would definitely be chased and killed by Zhang Thief. If Youwuhou does not retreat from the battle, he will not escape the danger of running out of food in the end. Even if they can collect enough military rations around Fuyang, they can even defeat Zhang Jincheng by luck. After the imperial court investigates it, I am afraid that General Feng's career will come to an end! ”

"As soon as this trick comes out, Old General Feng will lose no matter how you calculate!" Chu Wanjun was unwilling to fall behind Wei Deshen, and then added. "What we can do is to try our best to minimize losses, whether it is for the sake of the court or ourselves!"

Do you still need to say this? All colleagues looked sideways, quite dissatisfied with Chu Wanjun's verbosity. Everyone was so anxious that their heads were smoking, and this person was still entertaining himself by talking nonsense. It's not anyone, just looking for death and life.

Guessing what everyone was thinking, Chu Wanjun smiled and turned his head to Wei Zheng, "I am handing over my life to Brother Xuancheng." If you have an idea with me, just make a statement. If you want people to come out, you want money to pay, everything depends on Brother Xuancheng's scheduling! ”

That's what it means. Everyone suddenly realized, and they all spoke, "Although Xuancheng commanded, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse!" “

In a bunch of expectant eyes, Wei Zheng stood up and bowed his hands, "Wei has thought twice, and is ready to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor!" On General Feng's side, we can only inform him that the camp robbery failed, and the king thief is missing. As for where the thief went, it must be calculated by the old general himself! This is not to shirk responsibility, but to inform the old general of the results of our guesses, it is useless! ”

The officials nodded in agreement. In his heart, Wei Zheng's tacit chess piece fell well. Next, everyone heard Wei Zheng say, "Not informing Old General Feng of the news that Liyang is in danger does not mean that we will sit idly by. With the public, we can't allow thieves to gallop wantonly in the territory of our Great Sui and kill the people. For selfishness, even if we don't guess the whereabouts of the thief, we may be thrown out by the court to take the blame. It's better to give it a go, in order to be worthy of your heart! ”

There was no way out, and the officials of Wuyang County could only unite to protect themselves. took Wei Zheng's words and responded nonchalantly, "Say it quickly, I'll listen to your orders!" ”

"How to fight, Xuan Cheng said it clearly!"

Throwing his hand again, Wei Zheng continued: "There are three ways that Wei can think of. , Wu Benlang General Wang Wei is now stationed in Lingchang to prevent the Wagang people. It's just a river away from Liyang, if we can put together a gift to send to Lingchang Priest. And it shows the strength of the king thief Ermao. General Wu Benlang will inevitably contribute to the court to fight for thieves. At present, the Yellow River has also frozen, and the officers and troops are advancing with all their might, and in three days at most, they will be able to kill under Liyang City! ”

Invite the officials and soldiers to suppress bandits, and the local government has to pay for "rewarding teachers", and this kind of strange thing can happen in Dasui. It's better to spend a little money to snatch Liyang back than to become a bandit's nest there! And in the future, the court will investigate it, and the officials of Wuyang County will also have words to prove their innocence. Just touched it with a hurry, and everyone understood which was more important. Nodding with a smile, he unanimously accepted Wei Zheng's proposal.

"The wealth of the labor army, the main book of the reserve is first transferred from the official treasury of Wuyang County. I will write to the county keeper to explain the situation, and you will all bear witness. How much is called today, and how much everyone will pay to make up in the future. Everyone shares one share, more for those with high official positions, and fewer for those with low official positions! ”

Regarding Wei Zheng's supplementary proposal, everyone did not disagree. It is better to spend a little money than to lose your official position and dismiss your post. As long as you keep this official uniform, sooner or later you will be able to scrape back the losses from the people.

"Second, we can't just rely on the military and the military. Let's immediately set out our troops to the south early tomorrow morning, and whether the king thief goes to attack Liyang or not, we will rush over. After a pause, Wei Zheng continued to propose, "If the previous speculation was wrong, let's help Zhang Wenqi defend the city, it can't be regarded as a passive avoidance of war." If the thief had already captured Liyang, in a hurry, he would not be able to arrange the defense. We have seven times as many brothers as him, seven to one, enough for him to cope for a while! ”

The officials didn't expect Wei Zheng's courage to be so big, they were dumbfounded one by one, and after half a sound, they responded chaotically, "What about Wuyang County?" ”

"What if the thief takes advantage of the situation to kill in Wuyang County?"

"Notify all localities and take strict precautions!" Wei Zheng waved his hand and responded very simply. "With preparation, it is difficult for a thief to succeed. Moreover, as long as Liyang Cang is not lost, everyone will have a chance to turn over. If Liyang Cang is lost, I am afraid that we will have the intention to kill the thief in the future, and we will not have that chance! ”
