Chapter 00087 Lanxi County Order
What Hu Xu didn't know was that Ju Zheng had already sent someone to Lin'an to inquire about the news when he knew that Zhao Shuo had gone south to pacify the mob and arrived in Yanzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For bad people, Ju Zheng can do it with his hands, but for good people, he can't do it.
In his opinion, it is his duty to kill the bad people, and for the Buddha in his heart to get rid of the evil in the world, even if he goes to the hell after death, he has no hesitation. But good people are to be guarded after all. This is his way, the way of the Buddha.
In the Anmin Hall, in addition to Ju Zheng, Hu Xu, and Wu Yashi, there are three others. One was pale and golden, silent, and named Xuanhao; a five-short body, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and bones, named Shi Fei; The last was a Hu man, tall and red-haired, named Molda.
Several people admired Ju Zheng so much, and saw that Ju Zheng had already made up his mind, although he still didn't understand a little in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.
Just like that, Zhao Shuo's team arrived at Lanxi County without danger in the area controlled by Juzhengkong, accompanied by a rumbling explosion.
When he learned that King Pingnan had come to Lanxi County, Lanxi County made Hong Mengyang really startled. After being shocked for a quarter of an hour, Hong Mengyang, who had changed his strength, summoned the officials of the county in fear and went out of the city to greet him.
Zhao Shuo's army stopped outside Lanxi City, looking at the vicissitudes of life and the dilapidated city wall, he couldn't help frowning.
How can such walls resist mob attacks? How did it stand tall and be in the hands of the imperial court in isolation and helplessness?
If it weren't for the collusion between the county order and the mob, Zhao Shuo couldn't think of the rest of the possibilities, because he never believed in the legend thing.
So when the city gate was opened and Hong Mengyang took the county officials out of the city to greet him, if he hadn't seen only the officials and no officers and soldiers, Zhao Shuo would probably have ordered a retreat. After all, relying on these 600 people to attack a county town is really nonsense.
"I don't know if the prince has arrived, I miss the distance, and I hope the prince will forgive the sins."
Hong Mengyang took the officials of Lanxi County to his knees.
"Get up!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand.
"Lord Wang, please come inside." After getting up, Hong Mengyang made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo hesitated, through the city gate, he could see the quiet Lanxi Street, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street, this strange atmosphere made Zhao Shuo really feel at ease.
"Lord Wang, the surrounding areas of Lanxi County have been fighting for years, and those who can go are gone, and the rest are people who have nowhere to go. The lower officials were worried that these people from the countryside had collided with the prince, so he ordered them to stay at home and not to come out. Hong Mengyang saw Zhao Shuo hesitate and explained.
Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment and said to Hong Mengyang. "You're the magistrate here?"
Hong Mengyang bowed. "Returning to the prince, the next official Hong Mengyang is the order of Lanxi County."
Zhao Shuo nodded slightly. "Hong County Order, this king has something unclear, and I hope you will give me some guidance?"
Although he was very worried, Zhao Shuo was still ready to ask the doubts in his heart, otherwise it would be too difficult for him to enter Lanxi County. After all, there is still a chance to escape here, once you enter Lanxi County, if something goes wrong and you want to leave, with such a few people, it will be difficult.
"The prince has tormented the lower officials, what is there but please instruct, as long as the lower officials can do it, they must do their best." Hong Mengyang leaned over and said.
"Hong County Ling just said that the surrounding areas of Lanxi County have been fighting for years, and everyone who can go is gone?" Zhao Shuo asked with a smile.
"Exactly!" Hong Mengyang didn't understand what Zhao Shuo wanted to ask.
"But Lanxi County is still there?" Zhao Shuo expressed his doubts, and then pointed to the city wall. "Hong County Order, to be honest, this king really doesn't believe that such a wall can withstand the attack of the mob."
"The prince is new to the scene, and it is reasonable to have this question." After listening to Zhao Shuo's question, Hong Mengyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord Wang, I won't tell you anything, Lanxi County can be kept because the mob doesn't attack."
Hong Mengyang said the reason, this time Zhao Shuo was stupid, and the mob didn't attack? Zhao Shuo didn't even dream of such a reason.
"Shen County Order, don't think that we can fool us when we have just arrived from afar, how can the mob not attack the surrounding state capitals and county offices, they don't attack, they don't plunder, what do they eat and drink?" Gonggong Feng had heard some tragic scenes of mob rebellion in the palace before, and he had questions at this moment.
Hong Mengyang couldn't cry or laugh a little, because he didn't know the reason why the mob didn't attack here.
Sighing, Hong Mengyang spread his hands and said helplessly. "Perhaps, they don't look down on this impoverished, sparsely populated county."
The mob will have a county government that they can't look down on, and this reason is also very strange, but on Hong Mengyang's face, Zhao Shuo saw the slightest trace of lying.
"Is this also the case with the surrounding county offices?" Zhao Shuo asked again.
"As far as the officials know, the surrounding counties of Pujiang, Dongyang, and Yongkang have all fallen, and then Jinh County, which is close to Wuzhou, is still under the control of the government." Hong Mengyang saluted and replied.
"Lord Wang, Pujiang and Dongyang counties are under the control of He Sanwu, and Yongk County is controlled by another mob. Jinh County drinks Lanxi County, which belongs to the control range of Juzheng. While Zhao Shuo was pondering, Zhang Chujiu whispered to Zhao Shuo about the news.
"Oh!" Zhao Shuo groaned. "I think this Juzheng is a bit interesting."
"Lord Wang, then we ......" Hong Mengyang made another gesture of please.
Zhao Shuo nodded, and was about to enter the city with the people.
"Slow down!" Hong Mengyang hurriedly stopped Zhao Shuo.
"What? Don't want this king to enter the city again? Zhao Shuo frowned and looked at his face coldly.
"Lord Wang, you misunderstood." Hong Mengyang hurriedly explained. "Lanxi County is a small county, with a small population and sparse houses, although a large number of people have left, it is still ...... to suddenly entertain such a large number of people."
Looking at Hong Mengyang, who had a bitter melon-colored face, Zhao Shuo really couldn't get angry, and even had a little appreciation. Think of a county order, in an area controlled by a mob, risking the risk of losing his head every day, and still conscientiously managing a poor small county town, for this reason, Hong Mengyang should be respected.
"Lingyun, Zhu Feng." Zhao Shuo shouted behind him.
"The last general!" The two walked out of the group and said in unison.
"The troops are stationed outside the city today, and they will be handed over to you and the two of you." Zhao Shuo gave the order.
"Yes!" Zhu Feng, Ling Yun bowed.
Zhao Shuo took the rest of the people and others into Lanxi County with Hong Mengyang. Zhu Feng was left because he knew these soldiers. Leave Lingyun behind? Zhao Shuo was worried that he would not be able to stay in the city, so he stayed outside to continue testing artillery shells. Of course, Ling Yun did not disappoint Zhao Shuo! Because, the rumbling sound of shells lasted all night.
