Chapter 30: Anti-Army, Official-Army, and Government
At the end of September, the sky and the earth are green, and the wilderness is withered!
Under Hongdong City, which had just been killed, there were corpses everywhere......
The rebels, the official army, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were divided by the high city walls, and no one knows whether the living are confused, but the dead don't have to suffer this again.
The nearly 10,000 rebel troops surrounding the county town were undisciplined, but they were all over the mountains.
More than 1,000 officers and soldiers guarding the city were busy arranging, but they were in danger.
The big tent of the anti-army, known as the king of the word Hengtian, the prince Shunhu is on the throne, this person is burly, the fierceness in his eyes is not hidden, he dares to lead people to rebel, and he left his hometown to invade Shanxi, so he is naturally not an ordinary person.
Inside the big tent, the stove was burning, and it was blazing hot.
The small camp tent is complete, with a scholar who looks like a military advisor, a big man who looks like a general, a guard who holds a knife, and a sand table that is allowed or not.
We should never underestimate the imitation ability and imagination of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"These three Jin Dynasty are indeed far rich in Qinchuan, gold and silver are everywhere, and grain is like mountains, not to mention far, even in this Hongdong County, there are enough brothers to have a good time." Wang Zishun's voice is very loud, and in that loud voice, it is full of the belief that there is only one in the world.
He has been defeated and appeased, but God still keeps his life, doesn't it mean that he is the man of destiny, who else in this world will be me?
The words came out, and everyone echoed, Hongdong County saw that it was just around the corner, everyone could be happy, and naturally no one refuted.
"King, now that the enemy has been exhausted for a long time, it's time to show off your killing moves." The scholar who looks like a military advisor, when the cold wind and autumn are gone, still shakes the feather fan, as if the reincarnation of Wuhou, with mountains and ravines in his chest.
The prince who sat firmly in the hall had a sinister look on his face, and nodded in response: "Then give it to the officials and soldiers in the city, to remember the ruthlessness." ”
So the generals responded with a bang, and Xiong Ang came out of the account one by one.

Hongdong County Ya, back room.
The county commander Cao Xuezhi was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, beckoning the guards to pack up valuable objects of all sizes.
"You quail, slow down, slow down, that night pot is carved from fine jade, don't break it for me, master."
In the distance, Master Zhang Xingfu hurriedly walked in front of Cao Xuezhi.
"Old parents, everything is cleaned up, the county lord has already arranged the elite manpower, once the situation is critical, you can go out of the city to fight your way out of the siege."
Hearing this, Cao Xuezhi hurriedly acted and took a long breath: "This official has a negative holy grace, a negative holy grace!" ”
The master hurriedly advised: "Old parents, don't blame yourself, the thief is too big, it's not that the adults don't work hard to serve the country with death, but to make great efforts to make the country and prepare for returning to the county again."
The master's words seemed to comfort the heart of the county commander, so he showed his loyalty to the country and the people.
"Is it safe to give a gift to the prefect?" The county magistrate is concerned about his future.
If you lose your land, in order to cover up and avoid responsibility, you naturally need to cut your flesh fiercely.
"Old parents rest assured, it must have been delivered." Master must be full.
"It's not that the official doesn't want to live and die with the city, but there are no reinforcements outside, and there is no money and food soldiers inside!" The county magistrate sighed again.
"Hey, I've told you, be careful, this vase is a treasure handed down from the Song Dynasty!"
The county magistrate once again paid full attention to the soldiers.
————
On the city wall, Lu Yansong, deputy of Pingyang Guard, was busy checking the defense.
"Draw another team of sergeants to guard the city gate, there are too few soldiers, to prevent the thieves from forcibly hitting the door."
The guards behind him took the order and left.
"My lord, all parts of the city need to be guarded to the death, and it is not safe to transfer soldiers from other places!" Follow the reminder of 100 households.
Lu Yansong sighed, his face was also sad.
"There are no more than 1,000 soldiers in the city, plus 1,000 people are recruited, I hope to support the arrival of reinforcements."
"The soldiers who can ask for help have been sent out in five waves, and no one has replied so far!" Baihu said in frustration.
"Lord County Commander, send someone to report in the morning, reinforcements are already on the way, hold on for two more days."
After Deputy Qianhu finished speaking, he looked at the crowded rebels under the city in a daze, and his face was solemn.
————
Binh Duong Mansion, government office.
The prefect, the same knowledge, the general judge, the magistrate, and the commander of the Pingyang Guard gathered together, with solemn faces, to discuss the matter of thieves and chaos.
"Colleagues, Hongdong County ordered to send people to expedite rescue, it seems that the thief is not small, and today I called everyone to come here to discuss the strategy of preventing thieves." The prefect Cen Huayan put down the teacup and looked at the four of them, and the staff on the side personally poured tea for him.
"My lord, a few days ago, I heard that the anti-thieves broke through Zhaocheng, and the lowly post has sent its former thousand households and deputy thousand households to lead a thousand soldiers to support Hongdong County, and now the anti-thieves are besieging the city, how Hongdong County is not known for the time being, but the lowly has ordered to mobilize other people from the left and right middle and rear four thousand households to come, once the sergeants are gathered, they can send troops to fight the thieves." The commander of the Zhengsanpinwei faced the prefect of the Zhengsipin, but he could only claim to be humble, which shows how unbalanced the status of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty was.
"Now that Hongdong County has been besieged, it is imperative to think about how to hold on to Pingyang City!" Tongzhi stroked the long beard under his chin, and it seemed that the old god was there, not in a hurry.
"But there are tens of thousands of people in Hongdong County, if you don't go to the rescue, if the city is broken, it will be a serious crime for the saint to blame!" The general judge frowned and retorted, his eyes were very displeased, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with Tongzhi's proposal.
"This doesn't have to worry, the thief is arrogant at first glance, but he is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and there are not many people who really dare to fight, just like Zhaocheng County, although it was broken before, but it was not taken back again after that, the thieves did not dare to defend the city, for fear of being surrounded by our officers and soldiers." Prefect Cen Huayan spoke.
The prefect said that he set the tone, and the few people below were all shrewd, how could they not know the meaning behind these words, it was not terrible to lose the city, it was a big deal to let the thieves enter the city and grab a circle and then send it back, the Son of Heaven was high above the temple, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and it was even more difficult to know the details, so naturally there was no need to be afraid of taking responsibility.
Commander Wei made Zhang Xiahai lower his head, his eyes were both contempt and disappointment, and he kept clamoring for the thief to pretend to be powerful, but he didn't dare to order a head-on attack, these civil officials in front of him were all timid but cunning and treacherous.
Thinking that there were still more than 1,000 people trapped in Hongdong County, Zhang Xiahai couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his eyes.
He is a martial artist with an upright temperament, and he can't do the thick face of this group of civil officials, but if the prefect doesn't give an order, how can he transfer troops to rescue without authorization.
"In this case, it is imperative that the victims in the city be collected in advance to prevent them from being coerced by anti-thieves, and to deploy troops to garrison the city gate to defend as soon as possible." Zhang Xiahai saw that the matter had come to this, so he could only try his best to prepare for defending the city.
It's just that after he finished speaking, he didn't see anyone else attached, and he didn't react, and Zhang Xiahai suddenly didn't know what to do.
"There are too many displaced people outside the city, and if they enter the city, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate. First, who dares to guarantee that there are no thieves inside, in case the time comes to attack inside and outside, it will be a disaster, and besides, there is not much food in the city, and the displaced people have no food to do when they enter the city, and it is even more likely to provoke the people to revolt at that time. Displaced people are not allowed to enter the city. "If the prefect is not easy to say, he let the staff on one side say it.
When Zhang Xiahai heard this, his heart was cold, this group of rats was really ashamed of being loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't even care about the life and death of the people under his rule, he Zhang Xiahai was really ashamed of these people.
"If you still have something to do, you will retire first." got up with a cold face, said a perfunctory word, and without waiting for Cen Huayan to agree, he turned around and strode out of the hall.
"This martial artist is too arrogant." Tongzhi put down his right hand and was very angry.
Cen Huayan smiled and comforted: "Brother Yu doesn't have to worry, at this time, don't offend this Xia Hai, and then this Pingyang City will rely on these martial artists." ”
