Chapter 553: Xianbei Siege
Wu Guangshu's argument made the faces of the knife and pen officials and others a little bad immediately.
You must know that this bundle is not someone else, but the postal inspector who can affect their evaluation, offending this kind of person, Wu Guangshu is of course not afraid of having a backstage, but these knife and pen officials are worried about other people's accounts.
Noticing the expressions of several people, Wu Guangshu guessed what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "What are you worried about?" I'm not arresting people for no reason, after these people came over, they violated the manor of several sons, and injured a lot of servants, obviously relying on the support of the people in Youdai County, doing evil! And they are hiding from Dai County, they are fox and fake tiger power, even if it is said to Dai County, this official is not scared at all! ”
When everyone heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and they can only nod their heads and say yes.
"Okay, you don't have to be here, what should you do and what to do, no matter who the official has boarded your door, let you come to me to say the words of release, but this official doesn't want to hear this in the future, whether you should release people, when to release people, where to put them, you don't need to teach this official, this official has his own opinion!"
In his opinion, these subordinates of his own, suddenly came to inquire together, undoubtedly someone was pushing behind them, and it was very likely that they were from Dai County, which couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Seeing his resolute attitude, everyone didn't dare to insist too much, so they bowed down one by one, and only the two closest sword and pen officials remained.
"Lingshang, although we are not afraid of this matter, we have to be more or less scrupulous, we can't let it be too difficult for Daijun to do, right?" A knife and pen official came over and whispered, "And in the past few days, there has been news coming from the Daijun side, let us be careful about the defense, there may be changes, saying that there will be chaos in the northland Xianbei, and the wording sent in recent days is getting tougher and tougher, and it is more and more difficult for us to protect the people, it is best to grab some of the grain, and at the same time clear the wilderness, otherwise if there is a problem, it will be investigated afterwards......"
"It's just a power trick," before the man finished speaking, Wu Guangshu waved his hand and stopped his words, "You don't want to think about it, if there is really chaos, will the General's Mansion know first, or will he Chen Zhi know first?" I am also a friend of General Wang Quan, if there is really something, will the general not tell me? Do you have to wait for him to report it? Besides, with General Wang Quan here, even if the Hu people have any movement, they have to be blocked by the people on the general's side first, where is it his turn to remind him, what do I have to worry about when I am in the city? ”
When he spoke, there was a look of arrogance on his face, as if he had seen through everything, as if the situation in the northern Xinjiang had been thoroughly grasped by Wu Guangshu, because there were still some words that had not been said in his heart.
In fact, Wu Guangshu took advantage of his identity and position, as well as the Hu and Han mixed places near the north, and some Hu people and Hu tribes, all had a certain connection, the two sides often exchanged ideas, and even some items that were forbidden to be sold to the grassland in the Central Plains, he Wu Guangshu often took them out to facilitate the Hu people.
It is precisely with such a relationship that Wu Guangshu is very sure that his grasp of the news of the grassland and the control of the safety of the city are very simple and strict.
"I know very well what Chen Zhi means," Seeing that the knife and pen officials seemed to be puzzled and difficult to settle down, Wu Guangshu smiled slightly, and calmed down again, after all, he is his confidant and a person who really does things, and he still needs to rely on it in the future, and he can't make people suspicious, "Using the method of inspection, under the banner of political officials, intervening in the affairs of the county, winning over and dividing, and finally elevating us and replacing them, so as to grasp the real power, and now the first step is stopped by me, he will use other excuses to influence the city, these are all means of power, It won't involve the safety of the city, or that sentence, if there is really something, with my relationship with General Wang Quan, he will definitely report something......"
Before the words fell, someone outside suddenly came over to report: "On the order, there is a letter from the north, and it is sent by General Wang for an urgent letter." ”
"General Wang's urgent letter?"
After getting the news, Wu Guangshu and the knife and pen officer opposite were stunned, and then their expressions were strange, and bad thoughts were born in their hearts.
"I guess it's true."
Thinking of the incident just now, he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, but he still beat his spirits, reluctantly made a calm appearance, took the letter, and before he opened it, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then three or four people rushed in, and everyone's face showed anxiety and panic.
"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked? When Wu Guangshu saw a few people, he also let out a "chuckle" in his heart, but he maintained his majesty and asked in a deep voice.
The leader was the county lieutenant, he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and there was still a frightened breath in his eyes, and he said tremblingly: "A few officials sent out to inspect Xia Chong, they ...... They were all killed! The head has been sent back, you have to go and see it, ...... scene! As he spoke, he suddenly covered his mouth, as if trying to keep himself from throwing up.
"This ......" Wu Guangshu was completely stunned because of these words, he looked at the frightened few people in front of him, and then looked at the letter in his hand, his mind was blank for a while, and he seemed to have forgotten the words.
If it weren't for a knife and pen officer next to him reminding him, I don't know how long this county magistrate would be stunned here, but when he came back to his senses, the first thing he thought of was not to respond to the county lieutenant's proposal, but to tear open the envelope in his hand, open the letter, and then quickly browse it.
Just after a few glances, Wu Guangshu's face was pale and bloodless.
His appearance fell in the eyes of other people, and it suddenly made the atmosphere solemn.
The knife and pen officer cautiously asked: "Lingshang, what is written in this letter?" Is there really a ...... Are there really Xianbei people? ”
Wu Guangshu raised his head, looked at the few people around him, showed a wry smile, and said slowly: "Xianbei people...... And the Huns! ”
When they heard the first three words, everyone's faces were already ugly, but when the three words "Huns" fell, their expressions became even more miserable.
For the people here, the Xianbei people are of course the Hu people, often into the Kou, but also do a lot of evil, but on the big picture, Xianbei is obedient and obedient, when the ordinary people face them, they have a sense of superiority in the Heavenly Empire, of course, this sense of superiority is more in the scholars, as well as the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, as for the people in the frontier, when they saw the Hu people on horseback, the first reaction was to run as far as they wanted.
If the Xianbei people just give them a headache, then the Huns are enough to make everyone fearful, especially the officials in this Xinjiang!
You must know that the annexed prefectures and counties, which also belong to the border prefectures, have now fallen, and most of the land is in the hands of the Huns.
Thinking of the depths, everyone shuddered.
Someone muttered: "Could it be that what the county said is true?" ”
This word suddenly woke Wu Guangshu up, and he immediately ordered: "Lead the way, I'll go and see what happened to those people?" ”
With this order issued, the county lieutenant and the others led Wu Guangshu to the open space outside, where there were several haystacks on the ground, lying on them, covered with blood, and covered with coarse cloth.
Before he took a few steps closer, the pungent smell of blood came to his face, making Wu Guangshu almost want to vomit, but he still held back, he also had some guts, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and lifted the burlap covering the person, but just glanced at it, he felt his abdomen rolling, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, so he quickly covered the cloth again, and then gasped violently.
The errand officer who was on the side with active eyesight hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Wu Guangshu gasped for a while before recovering.
He stood up and asked.
"These people were found in the morning and died in ...... Dead in a farmland outside the city, this was already the case when we arrived. The answer to the question was the two officers who had found the scene of the death, their faces very pale and haggard.
Someone on the side discussed: "The one who destroyed people so far must be the Hu people!" ”
Wu Guangshu frowned, Taishou stopped the discussion, and then said: "Bury these people first, don't publicize this in advance, don't let the people know too much." ”
"This ......" The county lieutenant hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The people who found these people were not from the government in the first place, and now I am afraid that it has spread!" ”
Wu Guangshu glared at him fiercely, and then said: "I don't care how many people know, but I don't want to hear someone say that this is Hu Ren's action, understand?" ”
"Yes, yes!" The county lieutenant is submissive.
Wu Guangshu turned around and went back, and at the same time gathered several henchmen.
When he returned to the hall, he staggered for a moment, and then sighed and said: "Things are not good, General Wang said in the letter, there are Xianbei and Hun scouts, appearing around Daijun, it is very likely to join forces to invade, let me be prepared, gather people, cooperate with him, and at the same time monitor the surrounding area of the city, and report to him as soon as possible if there is any intention, if it is not easy to deal with, I must quickly ask him for help." ”
Someone said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Don't go to the rescuers yet? ”
Wu Guangshu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then send someone to the north and let General Wang send troops to rescue!" ”
Then someone suggested: "Now it's just a dead person, and the murderer hasn't been determined yet, besides, it's hard to say whether it's the Hu people's brigade, so I rashly ask for help, maybe ......."
Wu Guangshu immediately interrupted: "If you don't go to find reinforcements now, it will be too late when the time comes, I am the commander of the city and county, then I have to think about the safety of the city first!" ”
Then someone else suggested: "Do you also report to Dai County, I heard that the Taishou has also trained the new army." ”
Wu Guangshu shook his head and said: "Chen Zhi's people and horses are just a rabble, gathered for the family, can they compare with General Wang?" Besides, he's only been here for a long time, and he hasn't stood firm, so what is the rescue? He vetoed it.
It's night, Xianbei besieges the city.
