Chapter 64: The Civil Strife in Lulong (5)
The Cui family is also a century-old family and the nearby Zheng family have a marriage, as soon as the Shuaifu proclamation came out, a county Cheng who served in the yamen rushed back overnight, and informed the Cui family patriarch of the news as soon as possible, and the patriarch held a meeting in the clan overnight.
Cui Zifu served as a assassin, and was later elected as the patriarch. Cui Zifu wrote a letter to the Zheng family forty miles away overnight, informing him of the news, and the letter finally mentioned that the Zheng family should consider abandoning Zhengjiazhuang and moving to Cuijiazhuang, and the two families together are stronger.
Two fast horses rushed out of Cuijiazhuang and went straight to Zhengjiazhuang. A child of the Cui family desperately drove the horse, and after the fourth watch, after exhausting a horse, he finally rushed into Zhengjiazhuang.
Zheng Min, the patriarch of the Zheng family, once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and after receiving the letter from the Cui family, he immediately convened a meeting of the clansmen. The Zheng family has declined, and there are not many people. After listening to what the patriarch said, all the six gods had no master.
Zheng Min gritted his teeth, "Move!" "The food was gone, all the gold and silver were thrown into a dry well and buried, all the weapons were brought, all the houses in the village were burned, and finally more than 2,000 people ran desperately to Cuijiazhuang.
Finally, when it was dark the next day, he rushed into Cuijiazhuang. Not long after rushing into Zhuangzi, a rapid gong sound came from the watchtower of Cuijiazhuang, and thousands of people chased after Zhengjiazhuang.
The Zhuang Ding of the Cui family and the Zheng family were all on the courtyard wall, and the courtyard wall of the Cui family was nearly five zhang high, and a moat was dug outside the village. For the sake of safety, the ancestors of the Cui family spent a huge amount of money to reroute a river not far from Cuijiazhuang, and forcibly wrapped Cuijiazhuang in the middle of the river. This is also the reason why the Cui family dares to accept the Zheng family!
Thousands of people walked around outside Cuijiazhuang, but there was nothing they could do with the moat. It is two feet wide and one zhang deep, catching up with the moat of the state capital. Thousands of people scolded outside the village for a long time and retreated. The people on the courtyard walls breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Zifu looked at the crowd in the distance, "Immediately send people around to find out the news, immediately strengthen the defense, send people to patrol day and night, and prepare more stones and wood on the wall." β
Zheng Min said, "Cui Weng, don't be so careful! Cuijiazhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and thieves will not do their best for money! Cui Zifu shook his head, turned to look at the people behind him, and said, "If it's an ordinary thief, you can't be afraid, I'm afraid that I'm only afraid of the officers and soldiers pretending!" Everyone gasped. Oh, yes! I'm afraid that the officials and soldiers have been eyeing them for a long time.
A young man said, "Patriarch, why don't we take this opportunity to escape!" The rest of the crowd also nodded, and Cui Zifu smiled, "You guys! It's so naΓ―ve! I'm sure there are eyes all around my Cuijiazhuang now! You can't escape! β
Everyone was silent, yes! Cuijiazhuang is the owner of the land of Bailishi, and there are countless gold and silver in the village, and there are mountains of grain and grass. How can it not be remembered!
At this time, the men who had just been sent out to investigate escaped, and two of them were wounded. "Patriarch, there are people watching us everywhere outside, and we can't get out at all!"
This news disappointed many lucky people, Cui Zifu looked at Zheng Min and said to everyone, "You wait and retreat for the time being, I have something to say to Patriarch Zheng." β
After everyone retreated, Cui Zifu said, "Patriarch Zheng, are there any extremely smart people among the children of the other clansmen?" Zheng Min said, "I have two sons, who are extremely smart. It is the best of my clan, and I wanted to focus on cultivating and reviving my Zheng family, but now! Alas! β
Cui Zifu asked again: "There are extremely loyal people in the clan. Zheng Mindao "has two servants, who are originally death row prisoners in the army. I was rescued by a son of my Zheng family, and I was extremely loyal to my Zheng family! Cui Zifu nodded, "Bring these people with you, when things can't be violated, I can use these people!" Zheng Min nodded, and didn't ask why.
After Li Jie received Ma Liang's flying pigeon summons, he immediately held a meeting, Liu Jun had already returned to Luoyang with 20,000 people, and only Han Wen and Liu Qi and Wang Yue were by his side. Li Jie handed the note to the three of them, and the note read, "Lu Long is in civil strife, I want to stir up the situation!" β
Li Jie asked the three of them how to deal with it, and Wang Yue arched his hand and said, "Our army has just gone to garrison various places, and the soldiers are very hard, I think it is best to wait and see!" Han Wen nodded, "Lord Wang is right, Lu Long Bijing has more than 100,000 horses, and all of them are capable of recruiting good soldiers. It just so happens that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When the situation is clear, our army will make a decision! β
Li Jie nodded, and immediately replied to Ma Liang, "Spread the news and wait and see what happens!" β
Lu Long at this elbow was already in chaos, and countless robbers appeared overnight, many families were wiped out despite desperate resistance, and only a few escaped.
In order to hide their whereabouts, Lu Qing'er and his party hid in the woods during the day and hurried desperately at night. In just a few days, the six of them lost a lot of weight, but there was a voice in everyone's heart shouting, "Escape and revive the Lu family!" β
For a whole month, there was killing everywhere, there was fire everywhere, and there were rivers of blood everywhere. Even the arrival of the blizzard could not hide the bloodstains, the bloody wealth has already blinded the eyes of many people, humanity has been completely lost, and all that remains is the thrill of killing. But what these landlords did not expect was that they soon became the targets of killing.
Wang Yang and the others returned to the barracks and immediately put the two men together, and the soldiers took turns to be on guard. As soon as the two of them moved, those generals stopped doing it, and the two of you put the soldiers together, obviously to guard against us and others, if you two don't have ghosts in your hearts, why is this so. At this time, there were also rumors in the city, Wang Yang and the others embezzled the treasure, Wang Yang and the two handed over the treasure to Li Keju, and Li Keju swallowed it privately, etc!
Several captains of Tianxiangju sat together, and one of the captains drank the wine in the dry bowl in one gulp, opened his mouth and said, "Then Wang Yang and the two of them, they only got 200,000 taels when they went to the Lu family, so it's too little!" A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked lieutenant said, "Two hundred thousand taels, who believes it!" A few people next to him also talked nonsense. At this time, Ma Liang walked over, and a captain said, "Ma Dongjia, come and drink two bowls!" β
Ma Liang walked over, "Several, I've got today's wine!" "A few people are overjoyed" Xie Ma Dongjia! Ma Liang drank a bowl of wine and said, "I don't seem to be very happy when I see a few of them." Several people said in unison, "Happy fart, I thought I could say a few thousand taels less, but now I haven't seen one." β
Ma Liang wondered, "Why is this?" A lieutenant whispered in Ma Liang's ear, "Two days ago, the two generals Wang Yang led the troops to save the Lu family, but they were late and all the people were gone. The two only brought back 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain. Ma Liangqi said: "Huh! I went for a few days but came back, and I only had so much to do, who would believe it! β
At this time, a captain also said: "The two of them have been in the marshal's mansion for a long time, and they don't know what to say to the marshal!" β
A few people ate and drank, and went back drunk one by one. Ma Liang smiled, the thorn had already been pierced, it was up to them.
At Li Quanzhong's house, Li Quanzhong's father and son were discussing things. "Father, many generals began to suspect that Wang Yang and the others had taken the treasure alone." Li Kuangchou said. Li Quanzhong nodded: "Hmm! Not bad! "Lee Converse spoke" is not enough! To continue. After Wang Yang and the two returned to the camp, they joined forces, which can make a fuss, but our men and horses must not move, and after they are both defeated, we can make a profit! β
Li Quanzhong nodded: "Hmm! It's up to you! "Lee Converse gave up"! β
New rumors spread in the city, and even Li Keju was implicated, and Li Keju couldn't sit still. Once it's not clear, these generals below will show their knives.
Li Keju ordered to convene a meeting of the generals tomorrow. As soon as this order came out, the generals below had thoughts in their hearts.
At dawn on the second day, countless soldiers and horses began to rush into the city. Many people hid in their homes in fear, shops were closed, and the streets were deserted except for the neat footsteps of soldiers.
Outside the gate of the Shuaifu, Wang Yang and the others came to the gate of the Shuaifu with three hundred soldiers. All the generals glared angrily, and the two walked into the marshal's mansion with a few personal soldiers. The generals also entered the Shuaifu before and after, and just after the Shuaifu pro-soldiers shouted, "The handsome man has arrived!" β
All the generals salute "Welcome to the handsome!" Li Keju turned out of the house, and as soon as he sat down, a general came out of the ranks, "Marshal, there have been rumors recently that Wang Yang and the two generals have embezzled gold and silver, but what is the matter?" β
Li Ke raised his hand, "General, don't be suspicious, the day before yesterday, the two generals Wang Yang did only bring back 200,000 taels of silver." "The general gave up his hand, "Commander, the two of them went for many days before returning, isn't it suspicious?" Several generals next to him also shouted, "Commander, the two of them didn't swallow it privately!" β
Another general stood up and said, "Then the Lu family's hundred years of accumulation!" How could it be that there were only 200,000 taels, it must have been swallowed by these two people. Dashuai has repeatedly excused these two people, but he also participated in them, but he just hid them from us! β
Li Keju was anxious when he heard it, but he had to dare to explain it clearly, otherwise these people would dare to use knives. was about to open his mouth, but Li Quanzhong took the lead: "General Wang can't talk about it, how can the marshal do such a thing." But the marshal must let everyone know what the two generals said to you! This sentence blocked Li Keju there. To tell the truth, no one believes it, how to tell a lie!
Li Keju was stunned there, Li Congwei saw it, and glanced at a general next to him, the man pulled out his waist knife and pointed at Wang Yang and the others, "Dog thief, dare to steal treasure and take your life!" As he spoke, he raised his knife and slashed.
Wang Yang and the others had long been on guard, and after dodging, they pulled out their waist knives, and the generals in the hall also took out their waist knives to surround the two. The two finally understood the way Lu Tingfang looked at him before he died, but it was too late. Several pro-soldiers outside the hall drew their waist knives and rushed out, but they were surrounded by a group of soldiers, and several people were hacked to death in a burst of knives.
In the hall, Wang Yang and the others waved their knives and rushed out, but they were stopped by the generals. The hero was hard to defeat with four hands, and Wang Yang and the two were hacked to death in just a few rounds. Seeing all this, Li Keju panicked, turned around and ran to the back hall. As a result, these generals thought that he was going to escape, so they raised their knives and chased after them, and Li Keju's personal soldiers tried their best to resist, but they were killed by the generals. And these people killed the red eye, and directly killed Li Keju and his family in the back hall, but only found nearly 800,000 taels of silver in total.
"Go to the barracks!" Someone shouted!
