Chapter 31: The Steamed Bun Array
Early in the morning, at the gate of Qinyang County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Di took seventy or eighty servants, as well as three or four hundred brothers from Huang Batian, and was about to go on the road.
How to say that this is also a battle of leading troops, Chen Di asked people to find a tall horse.
He found out about the problem right away. This horse is too tall and too small to ride!
Chen Di thought, you can't command this "army" on foot, it would be too low.
Or the old housekeeper Yan has a way to find a donkey. Chen Di finally has his own mount.
A fourteen-year-old boy rode a donkey and set out on the road with this ragtag army of bandits and servants.
Huaiqing Mansion was only a day's journey from Qinyang County, and in the evening, they arrived outside Qinyang City.
I saw that the anti-people besieging the city were densely gathered around the city wall.
Huang Batian saw it and gasped: "Chen County Order, this is tens of thousands of horses!" We...... β
Chen Di said: "It's time for dinner, do you see that among those anti-people camps, is there cooking smoke?" β
Huang Batian replied: "I didn't see the smoke. β
Chen Di laughed and said, "That's right! This group of anti-people has no food to cook! Naturally, there will be no cooking smoke! Brethren, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions! β
Before leaving, Chen Di ordered several tailors in Qinyang to make hundreds of large coats. Every bandit and official has a blanket on his body at this moment. The blanket was filled with white-flour steamed buns.
Chen Di said: "Pass my order and rush towards the gate of Qinyang City!" Everyone walks ten steps and throws a steamed bun into the anti-people's pile! β
Everyone listened to the order, and while marching in the direction of the anti-people in fear, they threw up steamed buns.
These anti-people have not eaten for a few days. Suddenly, a pair of centaurs were coming towards them, and they wanted to rush up. Suddenly, the group of centaurs threw something white at them.
The anti-people originally thought it was some kind of secret weapon, but a sharp-eyed anti-people shouted: "It's steamed buns!" β
A few hungry and panicked anti-people immediately threw down hoes, sickles and other "blades" and threw themselves on the ground to fight for steamed buns.
One by one, the steamed buns were thrown towards the anti-people team, and tens of thousands of anti-people all threw away their weapons and scrambled together!
When Chen Di came, he expected that these hungry anti-people would be closer to seeing steamed buns than seeing their fathers and mothers. In ancient times, there was a saying that two peaches killed three soldiers, and today he is going to have a steamed bun to rehabilitate the army.
In the center of tens of thousands of anti-people, there is a big tent of the Chinese army, and Chen Di guessed that it was the big tent of the anti-people leader Zhen Henan.
As the saying goes, if you hit a snake and hit seven inches, you will capture the king first, Chen Di ordered Huang Batian and Liang Erhei to take a hundred brothers and go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Originally, among the tens of thousands of anti-people, it was almost impossible to directly take the big tent of the Chinese army. But at this time, tens of thousands of anti-people are rolling on the ground and scrambling for white steamed buns, who cares about protecting the big tent of the Chinese army?
Liang Erhei and Huang Batian each held a waist knife and went straight to the Chinese army's tent with more than 100 brothers.
The anti-people leader Zhen Henan saw that his brothers were in chaos, and two god-like figures were surrounding his Chinese army tent with more than a hundred men, so he simply didn't do anything, and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my town has descended from Henan!"
Zhenhenan is just a vain name, and before the rebellion, he was a blacksmith in the countryside of Huaiqing Mansion. It's just that tens of thousands of people rebelled, and they had the confidence in their hearts, calling themselves "Zhenhenan".
Huang Batian said: "Tell your subordinates, put down your weapons!" β
Zhen Henan looked at the anti-people who were fighting for steamed buns all over the mountains and fields, and said: "Heroes, you don't need me to give any orders, they have already laid down their weapons now!" β
Chen Di saw that the big tent of the Chinese army had been breached, rode a donkey, slowly passed through the tens of thousands of anti-people competing for steamed buns, and went straight to Zhenhenan, Huang Batian, and Liang Erhei.
Zhen Henan asked Huang Batian: "Who is this doll?" β
Huang Batian slapped Zhen Henan with an ear scrape: "Bastard, this is Lord Ling Chen of Qinyang County!" β
Zhen Henan exclaimed: "This doll is an official? β
Chen Di laughed: "I am not only an official, but I also used this steamed bun trick to disintegrate your tens of thousands of anti-people!" β
The gate of Huaiqingfu City suddenly opened, and the officials and soldiers fought out of the city.
Chen Di rode over on a donkey.
At the top of the official army, there are two officials, one civil and one military.
The civil official is Long Zixing, the prefect of Huaiqing Prefecture. Long Zixing was twenty-five or sixteen years old, five years ago he was Enke's role model, he was originally a Jishi in the Hanlin Academy, but for some reason he offended the first assistant Zhai Luan, and was secretly demoted to Huaiqing Mansion as a prefect by Mingsheng.
As for the military attachΓ©, it is Huai Qingwei's Wang Zongbing. This Wang Zongbing is the worldly position of Meng Zuyinde, although he also eats empty salaries and drinks the blood of soldiers like other military attaches in the Ming Dynasty, but he is also a bold person.
As soon as Chen Di saw the official uniforms of the two, he basically guessed the identities of the two.
Chen Di got down from the donkey, knelt down and said, "The lower officials pay a visit to the Long Governor's Mansion, General Wang." β
Long Zixing said: "This group of anti-people has besieged Huaiqing Mansion City for five or six days. Why did they all suddenly drop their weapons and roll to the ground? β
Chen Di said: "That's because of the humble position to make a little trick of carving insects." Now that the anti-people leader Zhen Henan has been captured by me, he has promised to let his anti-people lay down their arms and surrender! β
Chen Di told Long Zixing about the steamed bun breaking the enemy.
Long Zixing laughed and said: "It is said that it is a hero who has been a teenager since ancient times, but I didn't expect that tens of thousands of rebels could be disintegrated by your fourteen-year-old Qipin County Order!" β
Wang Zongbing also smiled: "I, the chief military officer, have really done it for nothing!" How many years of military books have been read in vain. It's not enough to catch up with your fourteen-year-old doll's clever means! β
Tens of thousands of anti-people scrambled for steamed buns and had a full meal. Seeing that the leader was arrested, they naturally tied their hands and captured him. In fact, the rebellion against Huaiqing Mansion was just to grab some food and eat a full meal. Now that the stomach is full, what kind of rebellion is there to rebel against?
Wang Zongbing said to the Long Governor's Mansion: "Long Governor's Mansion, although this group of rebels has surrendered, but I am afraid that they will repeat, it is better to kill dozens of his leaders, and they will naturally be honest." β
Long Zhifu is a scholar with a benevolent nature. Wang Zongbing said this, and he was in trouble for a while.
Chen Di interjected: "The prefect of Yulong, General Soldier Wang. The lower officials thought that the reason why the rebels rebelled was because they couldn't live anymore from hunger. As long as we can give them the food they need to make a living, as well as seed food, I believe they will be able to put down their butcher knives and return to their hometowns to farm! β
Long Zhifu said: "The truth is this truth, but at the moment, there is a shortage of food in Huaiqing Mansion City!" β
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "This year, our Qinyang County has a bumper harvest, and our county can take out 700,000 catties of grain to appease this group of anti-people." β
The prefect of Long was overjoyed when he heard this: "You Chen County has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Qinyang, and you have relieved the siege of Huaiqing, this official must give the court a fold to protect you!" β
