Guan Yu has not been in the city for a few days, because he went to Xiangfan to investigate, so the guards in the city are even more lax.
The child's father was sitting at the head of the city with a spear in his hand, and his ten brothers were looking at the city gates.
In fact, it is too far away from the front line, and there is nothing to guard against, and everyone's biggest task is actually to search for those merchants who enter the city during the day and get some fishing. Supplement some household use.
Serving Liu Bei as a soldier is actually not paid, which is no different from being a soldier for other warlords, of course, it can't be compared with Lu Peng, that guy is too rich.
Of course, the lord is benevolent, although there is no military salary, but it also allows everyone to be well fed and clothed, in order to let his son also have a full and warm life, so he let his son be the lord's soldier.
The son was not by his side, and was sent to a beacon tower on the Xunyang River, which was actually a panicked errand for eating food and idleness.
He was sitting at the head of the city with a gun and napping, but he heard a rumbling footsteps under the city, and the father stood up, stretched out his head and looked out, and a short sergeant walking in front of him was looking at the city with his face raised, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted to him: "Daddy, I am Fan'er, open the city quickly." β
Sure enough, it was his own son, and when he became a father, he wondered: "You are not guarding in the beacon tower, why did you run back?" β
Fan Er replied according to Lu Xun's explanation: "The two armies are rotated, and our beacon tower has been handed over by the brother troops, let us come back to rest." Then he pointed to his brother next to him: "This is all for us to come back and take turns to rest." β
The people around him nodded their heads again and again, and answered yes one after another.
The world is peaceful, the war is far away, it is a soldier brother I know, it is not a matter of being outside the city so late, so I asked the city gate guard.
The city gate guard didn't bother to pay attention to such miscellaneous things, and after a brief inquiry, he waved his hand: "Let them in, but it can be said that after coming in, they are not allowed to make noise, so as not to disturb the people." β
This father felt sorry for his son, of course, he happily agreed, and hurriedly ran into the city gate with a dozen brothers and locked the city.
As soon as the city gate opened, the son walked directly to his father and said to him ostentatiously: "Daddy, now we have a good life, we have money." β
Dad slapped him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "If you have something to eat, you will be beautiful, and I have money, have you seen money since I was a child?" β
"I got 100,000 yuan this time, and we can buy a house and land."
"Do you know how much 100,000 is? That's all there is to the county magistrate for a year, dream about you. β
And the boy stubbornly proved to him: "If you don't believe me, ask this big brother next to me." β
At this time, the father found that next to his son, there was a big man, but it was a fresh face, and he was about to ask the name of the person who came, but the person took a step closer, and the father felt that there was a hard thing on his waist to resist, and he immediately felt that it was a sharp knife with a bull's ear, and he just realized that something was wrong, and the big man said: "Obedient and obedient, I promised to give your son 100,000 yuan, which is definitely a lot, and it is also a steel coin." β
This old man opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't know what to say, and when he looked over with the rest of his eyes, in the hole of his city gate, the other brothers were forced to stop, and he screamed in his heart: "Jingzhou, lost." β
The man who forced her turned his head and commanded a person next to him: "Raise the fire." β
The companion immediately took out the fire fold from his arms, lit the torch that had been prepared in his hand, and shook it continuously towards the riverside, and in the blink of an eye, on the riverside, countless Dongwu troops rushed over in the black, and took down the city gate in a blink of an eye.
A white-robed general stood in front of his father and instructed the soldiers rolling into the city: "Everyone should act quickly, immediately occupy all yamen according to the original map, take care of the officials, do not kill or plunder, and tell the original officials that they will continue to hold their original positions." β
The soldiers who had passed by replied together.
Watching the army enter the city, the white-robed general turned his head and said to his father kindly: "Now that Dongwu has occupied Jingzhou, may I ask what was Daddy's original position?" β
The city head changes the banner of the king, this is already a commonplace thing, the nobles who fight and die are the nobles above, as a soldier eats food, as long as there is food to eat, it doesn't matter who he is a soldier for, so the consciousness of soldiers in this era is not, because there is no need to have the bear like a soldier for whom.
So this old man replied humbly: "General Qiyu, who is the chief of his subordinates." β
The general laughed: "Then you are now a military candidate, the reward of 100,000 yuan is a lot, and according to the rules of Jiangdong, you can get a salary above the chief, you are already a military candidate, you can get a military salary of 4,000 steel coins per month, work hard, and follow Emperor Wu to make a fortune." β
At that time, my father was overjoyed, and he could get the legendary military salary even if he was promoted to three levels, so what else did Liu Bei give as a soldier, he was Emperor Wu's soldier, as for Emperor Wu's surname, what did he care about.
The garrison Lan faction who stayed in Jingzhou, Guan Yu finally lived a comfortable life for a few days, but in fact, being an errand under Guan Yu was indeed a crime. Not only was he harsh, but he was also arrogant and rude, and Ezeh was even more contemptuous of these literati. In his mind, there are only three people in the world, that is his eldest brother and third brother, and he is the military advisor Zhuge Liang.
Fortunately, he went to Xiangfan, which finally relieved the officials in Jingzhou City.
Lan Pai drank a little wine, went to bed early and tossed around his concubine, and could only fall asleep in the middle of the night. Today, a good dream was in the middle of a night, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the pedal door was pushed open, which woke him up, and when he looked up, he was a general who was deeply dressed in the military uniform of Eastern Wu, and he was looking at himself coldly with his hands behind his back.
The Lan faction still thought that they were dreaming, and suddenly how could the generals of the Wu army appear in Jingzhou City, which was like an iron bucket?
As a result, the general's cold voice was telling him that this was not a nightmare, it was a real existence.
After the general explained the cause and effect, the Lan faction also had a sense of relief, and he was finally able to get rid of Guan Yu and no longer bear her face in the future. At the same time, he also knew that even if he escaped from Jingzhou, with Guan Yu's personality, he would never spare himself, so after a little hesitation, the Lan faction surrendered to Eastern Wu.
Because Lu Xun took over Jingzhou and handled it properly, there was almost no turmoil in Jingzhou, just killed a few officials who were loyal to Liu Bei, but he didn't kill their families, and he didn't deprive them of their property, so everyone didn't resist, the next day, the people went to the streets, and it was still the officials of the past who urged taxes, and it was still the cool officials of the past.
After Lu Xun inspected the city, after deliberately looking at the safety protection of Guan Yu's family, he took Guan Yu's pen and ink in the lobby where Guan Yu had sit, and reported to Sun Quan, the lord of Wu: "Jingzhou has succeeded." β
