Chapter 21: Entering the City with Makeup
Huang Batian looked at Chen Di, a thirteen-year-old boy county magistrate: "What if I don't recognize you, a friend who has not dried up?" ”
Chen Di smiled slightly: "Then you can cut off my head and hang it on Wenfeng Village." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Huang Batian laughed and said: "I have seen a few officials, all of them are greedy for life and afraid of death. I didn't expect you, a doll officer, to be a little bold. ”
Chen Di also smiled: "If I were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would have hid in Qinyang City a long time ago, and watched the people outside the city starve to death!" Why bother with your Wenfeng Village? ”
Huang Batian was born in hardship, and was forcibly occupied by Liu Mingtian, so he had no choice but to go to this Yandang Mountain to settle down. When he heard Chen Di say that it was for the people outside the city, Huang Batian's heart moved.
Now those who are officials are all for their own promotions and fortunes, and how many of them care about the lives of the people? Although this county magistrate is young, he doesn't look like a bad person. How can a person who can think of the people be a bad person?
Huang Batian said: "Chen County Order, I can't hide it, I know that the Liu family must have hoarded a lot of food in their hands." In the year of the catastrophe, the treacherous and evil families all made a windfall by hoarding grain. Do you think I don't want to go down the mountain and rob him of his food? ”
Chen Di said: "Since you want to rob it, why don't you rob it?" ”
Huang Batian shook his head: "You don't know anything. My Wenfeng Village claims to be 2,000 brothers, but in fact there are only 3,000 or 400 people. The Liu family also has three or four hundred soldiers, and they are also equipped with bird guns. There was so much chaos outside the city, he must have hidden the grain in the city. If you want to rob, you can only hit the county seat. My brothers are experts in digging ravines, and if they really want to fight the county seat, they will definitely not be able to take advantage. ”
Chen Di said: "Didn't you say that Huaiqingwei's officers and soldiers have killed you many times, and you have fled in the wilderness?" Since your brother can defeat the official army, how can you say that you can't defeat the Liu family's soldiers? ”
Huang Batian said carefully: "Alas, Chen County makes you know something! As I said, my brethren are good at digging ravines. This Yandang Mountain is high and densely forested, and the officials and troops can't even distinguish between the east and the west, the north and the south when they enter the mountain, where can they take advantage? But it's different when you go down the mountain! The county seat of Qinyang is different. The Qinyang city wall is extremely strong, the soldiers of the Liu family still have bird guns, just on the city can't come down, we can't stand the bird guns at us!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we enter the county seat, we don't know where the Liu family's granary is! When the officers and soldiers of Huaiqing Mansion heard the news, wouldn't we be made dumplings? ”
Chen Di said: "I know where the Liu family's granary is. Well, I'll make a deal with you. ”
Huang Batian asked, "What deal?" ”
Chen Di said: "That's it, I'll help you find a way to rob the Liu family's grain." After the grain arrives, half of it will go to your Wenfeng Village, and half will be distributed by you to the hungry people in Qinyang County. ”
Huang Batian said: "My old Huang is also from a bitter background. If I can really rob the Liu family's grain and avenge me, all this grain will be distributed to the villagers, and we don't want a grain of grain in Wenfeng Village! ”
Chen Di said: "Well, after robbing the Liu family's grain, I will find a way to defeat Liu Mingtian, the county leader." I'll find another opportunity to let the court recruit you people, what do you think? ”
Huang Batian said happily: "If I can really have the opportunity to serve the government and eat a military salary, my brothers and I will naturally be a hundred willing." But this is all an afterthought, how can I rob Liu Mingtian's food now? ”
Chen Di said: "Don't be impatient, let me think about it." ”
At this moment, most of the soldiers of the Liu family were on the city wall in order to prevent the people from entering the city.
The remaining soldiers guarded the Liu family's grain depot in the "ghost house" in the southwest of the city.
It is not difficult to lure away the small number of Liu family soldiers guarding the grain depot.
The difficult thing is how to let these more than 300 bandits from Wenfeng Village enter the city unknowingly.
Also, after the grain is obtained, how can the huge amount of grain be transported out of the city?
Pregnant! Since Huang Batian said that he didn't want a grain of food, it would be easy to do!
There is a word in later generations, called "robbery"! As long as you find a way to lure away the Liu family soldiers who are guarding the city, and then let the hungry people into the city, and tell the hungry people the location of the granary, everything will be done.
How to lure away the Liu family's soldiers and the guards of the city?
First of all, we had to find a way to let Huang Batian take the brothers into the city.
A certain army in later generations will let the people of Wenfeng Village put on makeup and enter the city!
Since it is to enter the city in makeup, of course it is not okay to pretend to be a common person. Liu Mingtian has issued a strict order not to allow the people to enter the city.
Then simply disguise yourself as the official army of the Ming Dynasty!
Chen Di asked Huang Batian: "The officers and soldiers have surrounded and suppressed you before, and many people have died. Have you seized any of their armor and official clothes? ”
Huang Batian replied, "Yes." There is a lack of clothes on this Yandang Mountain, and it is so cold that it is dead in winter. When we kill the officers and soldiers, we strip them of their clothes. We still have 100 sets of official and military clothes. But the clothes were worn out by the brothers! ”
Dilapidated? Wouldn't that make the soldiers of the Liu family guarding the city see the flaws?
There's a way!
Chen Di said: "In this way, you change into the clothes of the official army." Let's just say that you are Huai Qingwei's officers and soldiers. was ordered to encircle and suppress the anti-people outside Huaiqing Mansion, but they were resisted, defeated, and went to Qinyang to rest temporarily! First deceive the city gates, and enter into the city. ”
A defeated army is in tatters, which is naturally reasonable!
Huang Batian said: "What about after entering the city? ”
Chen Di said in an old-fashioned manner: "Hey, this one, the mountain people have their own tricks." ”
Chen Di carefully explained Huang Batian again. Then Chen Di took Liang Erhei to Qinyang County!
A day later, an army of officers came to the city of Qinyang.
This officer and army were dressed in tatters, and Xu Patrol, who was guarding the city gate, found the other party's leader, Mr. Qian.
Xu Inspector asked, "My lord, who are you?" ”
The leader of the Qianzong replied: "We are the brothers under the command of the general soldier of Huaiqing Weiwang. Recently, there have been a lot of anti-people outside Huaiqing Mansion. I led my brothers to encircle and suppress them, but they were resisted and defeated. ”
Xu Inspector asked, "Then why don't you go back to Huaiqingwei?" ”
Mr. Qian replied, "Ahem! Don't mention it! The brothers lost the battle and were chased by the anti-people. In a panic, I took the wrong road and arrived in your Qinyang County! Quickly open the city gate, let us go in and rest, and then we will go back to Huaiqingwei! ”
Xu inspected and said: "Our county has issued an order, and the Qinyang City Gate is not allowed to enter or exit!" ”
Mr. Qian said impatiently: "What bullshit county? The brothers fought desperately to the death, and in the end they were not even allowed to enter a city? Watch out for us smashing open the gates! ”
The official system of the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force. It stands to reason that a thousand is always a positive sixth, and the county is a positive eighth. Wu saw that Wen was light at the third level, and this thousand generals wanted to salute when they saw the county.
However, Henan is in the midst of a catastrophe, and many hungry people have become thieves. As soon as there is a war, it is necessary to rely on these military attaches to fight, and the status of the military attaches will naturally rise.
Xu Inspector said to Mr. Qian: "My lord, you have to let us go!" ”
Mr. Qian raised the waist knife in his hand and said, "Hmph, go quickly!" If you get impatient, you'll really smash your gates! When the time comes, you won't be able to eat with your Raushzi County Cheng and walk around! ”
Inspector Xu took the order and left.
In the county office, Chen Di was giving Liu Mingtian a banquet.
From the beginning, naturally I went hunting in the Yandang Mountain and caught a lot of game, please Liu Mingtian, a senior, to share!
