Chapter 452: The tattered Zheliu County Town

Tang Pong of the city wall guard is not in the form. Let's talk about it. It was dark and I couldn't see the arrogance clearly, and it was estimated that it would not be an enemy. The leading lieutenant ordered someone to put down the big basket and go down a Tang soldier.

This Tang soldier came to the city and ran to the attendant leader, and saw that the attendant leader had fainted. He helped the man up, looked through his pockets, and found the waist tag of the squire's collar.

Tang Bing shouted at the top: "This person is a broken general, our own people, it seems that he is really the general of the old prime minister!" ”

The captain above snorted and said, "The seven-rank official in the prime minister's family, it's true, a family general turned out to be a broken general!" ”

The Tang soldiers under him all said: "General, even if you work until you retire from the army and return to your hometown, I'm afraid you won't be able to break the general, that's the rank of the seventh grade!" small

The lieutenant snorted and said, "So what, doesn't he have to beg me now?" Wave your hand. Let the Tang soldiers put the attendants into the big basket and pull them up to the city.

When the general was rescued by the attendant leader, the captain naturally wanted to ask what was wrong, but the attendant leader was willing to tell such a shameful thing, just saying that he was going to see Gu Lantian, and the captain had to send someone to send him to the governor's mansion.

It's unfortunate that Gu Lantian drank too much tonight, and he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and seeing him snoring so loudly, it is estimated that even if he wants to wake up, he will have to wake up tomorrow afternoon, and it is very likely that he will wake up at night.

The attendant leader was almost so anxious that he vomited blood, and went to the deputy general and asked the deputy general to send troops, but he refused to explain the matter clearly, just asked for a team of elite soldiers, preferably all scouts, and let him take him to "meet" the old prime minister!

But how dare the deputy general send troops out, this attendant leader has no warrant from Fang Xuanling, and Gu Lantian can't write an order, let him send troops to the attendant leader, where would he dare to do such a thing. If there is only one family member of a big official. ran to say that he wanted to transfer troops, and then he gave troops to go, wouldn't it be child's play to defend over there! The attendant couldn't wait, and seeing that he couldn't transfer troops from Yumen Pass, he had to borrow a horse from the deputy general, and asked Tang Bing to take him and Ma Shun out of the city, and beat the horse to find Wang Ping'an, Wang Ping'an should be transferred to his army, and Fang Xuanling was kidnapped by robbers, which can also be said to Wang Ping'an.

Run wild. Arrived at the camp of the Turks. At this time, the sky has already brightened after a night of tossing. The Turks were packing up their tents and preparing to march towards the city of Zheliu.

The attendant led all the way to Wang Ping'an's tent, and saw that the tent was in a mess, and it seemed that he had drunk too much and vomited. The attendant is in a hurry, is there any mistake, is it possible that Wang Ping'an also drank too much and vomited like this. This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. The ship was late and had a head wind, and when it came to the critical moment, I drank too much!

The guard leader stubbornly said to the Ouyang brothers who were guarding outside the tent that they wanted to see Wang Ping'an, he was Fang Xuanling's attendant, and the Ouyang brothers had seen him, and they did not slack off at all, and informed Wang Ping'an in the tent.

Wang Ping'an was much stronger than Gu Lantian, although he drank too much and had a hangover, but as soon as he heard that Fang Xuanling's attendant was coming, he got up and called into the attendant collar.

After the attendant led the account, he did not dare to hide the truth, and told the story of the incident in 1510.

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were arrested, and they were arrested more than ten miles away from Guazhou! How can I say this, those robbers are too bold!

The attendant led the hard night, and by this time he was already out of strength, and after saying these words, he fainted in the tent. Wang Ping'an hurriedly showed him, now it was caused by the exuberance of his heart, and he was on fire, so he prescribed medicine, let the two little girls fry it, and feed the attendant to take it.

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, then sent Hou Ling and asked him to go to Yumen Pass to find Gu Lantian and confirm this matter, of course, he had to confirm it in a low-key manner, but he didn't dare to make this matter known to everyone, Wang Wendu was a bunch of shit, so he didn't need to care about him, but the face of the old prime minister of Fang had to be taken into account, and the news could be blocked. Just try to block it as hard as you can.

Hou Ling was ordered to go, and he was also full of surprise, there were robbers in the world who dared to catch the prime minister, either this robber was crazy, or he was still crazy!

Wang Ping'an thought about it for a while, before he got Gu Lantian's reply, he couldn't do anything, and it was easy to make mistakes in his busyness, so it was better to be a little restless and wait for a reply!

Ordered people to pack up the tent, and he still rushed to Zheliu County with the Turkic brigade, and did not return to Yuxiaomen Pass. All the way to the west, in less than half a day's effort, I saw the city wall of Zheliu County in front of me!

Zheliu County was quite prosperous many years ago, it is an important checkpoint connecting Shazhou and Yumen Pass, it has always been prosperous in business, and the surrounding land is fertile. More than 70% of the land in the prefecture is green state, and it is a good place for farming and grazing.

But also because this place is too rich to flow oil, so as long as a lifetime of war, the enemy army will attack here, the Sui Dynasty in the last years of the chaos here to choke enough, and after entering the Tang Dynasty, until the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, the Turks are very strong, for many years to use this place as a granary, endless plunder.

Rather be a peace dog, don't be a troubled person. The people here in Zheliu County couldn't live a normal life and were always bullied, but the Tang Army couldn't protect them, and as a result, the people of Tong County changed their careers to become robbers, and they bullied others. In the last years of Zhenguan's rule, when Tang Bing had worked hard to protect Zheliu County, the people couldn't turn back, and continued to be a big scourge on the road to strong counseling!

If outsiders come to the Western Regions and ask about the specialties of Zheliu County, then the people of the Western Regions don't care about men, women and children. will answer: robbers. This is the largest, most numerous, and most famous specialty of Zheliu County!

Wang Ping'an rode in the middle of the procession, and the Turks in front had stopped advancing. Near the city walls. The Turks all stopped, looked up at the city, and some looked back at Wang Ping'an, waiting for his next instructions.

Standing up from the white dragon horse, Wang Ping'an put his hand on the pergola and looked at the city wall of Zheliu County.

Just see this county seat, not only look at the east city wall, there are more than three miles, if the four city walls are generally long, the circumference can be nearly ten miles. There was only one gate on this wall, and it was very tall, but it had no towers, and the battlements were in tatters.

Looking along both sides of the city gate, Wang Ping'an grinned, okay, there is a section of the city wall that is gone, revealing a hole for a long distance, and you can see the city from here. That's not all, the entire wall is of different heights, and it is obvious that it has been demolished. And the bricks of the city have been cleaned up, it is definitely not in disrepair, the city wall came by itself!

There is not a single common man in the city or under the city, let alone a banner, and it is impossible to determine whether there are people living in the city just by looking at the appearance.

Su Dingfang and Qiu Renjie came to Wang Ping'an, and Qiu Renjie said: "Big brother, this Zheliu County is not small, if it is placed in the Central Plains, it will almost catch up with the city of a state, but it is too tattered." ”

Su Dingfang said: "Brother Qiu, you don't know anything. The place outside the gate is large, so the city is also large, but there are not many people. Because the merchants always bring horses to the team, so the place required is also large, and some cities have pastures, this Zheliu County is not big, just a medium city! After a pause, he added: "But if you want to talk about tatters, I'm afraid that Folding Willow City can be ranked first, and even the city walls have been demolished like this, which is really appalling." ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "Pass the order to go down, let the Turks rest on the spot, and don't enter the city for the time being." Choose another team of elite soldiers and follow me into the city to check it out. ”

Su Dingfang gave the order to go, and the Turks immediately dismounted and got off. began to collect firewood from the pot, planning to make food and rest. A group of assault soldiers rushed over, protected Wang Ping'an, and came to the gate of the city, intending to enter the city to inspect.

At this time, several scouts of the guard regiment came out of the city, and they did not go through the city gates, but entered the city by climbing the city walls. One of the scouts rushed to him and cried out, "Master, there are many people in the city, but there are few of them, and when they see us entering, they all jump on their horses and run, and they are running to the north!" ”

Wang Ping'an frowned and asked, "What kind of person is it?" ”

The scout replied, "All men are in the prime of life, and they are all riding horses, and they are probably robbers." We didn't have time to inspect the whole city, and we didn't know if there were any settled people in it, but even if there were, I am afraid that there would be no more than a thousand. ”

Wang Ping'an waved his hand to make him retreat, raised his chin, and said, "Open the city gate, let's go in and have a look." ”

Dozens of Turkic soldiers dismounted their horses and ran to the city gates. I just want to bang on the door. But there was a chance to hit it, and before it hit, I saw the city gate swaying for a while, and then there was a loud bang, and a city gate crashed down, smashing snow everywhere!

The Turkic soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, drew his sword, and looked inside in disbelief. I'm afraid that there is an enemy in ambush inside!

On the other side of the city gate, the sun shone on the snow, and there was no one in the light. Speaking of the enemy, there is not even a single enemy horse!

Qiu Renjie smiled: "Good door, I saw the eldest brother coming." Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to open it to welcome the arrival of the big brother! ”

Wang Ping'an snorted twice, a little stunned, he originally thought that Zheliu County was just a mess, but it was not in tatters.

The more dangerous the place, the stronger the city defense should be, even if there is no magistrate, it doesn't matter, the common people will always form associations to protect themselves, and this is a robber's den, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking, there should be countless robbers, guarding their lair, but I didn't expect it to be an empty city!

When the Turkic soldiers saw that the city gate had fallen, they all laughed, and they all put away their swords and stepped forward, intending to enter, but when they reached the door again, they saw another city gate with a loud bang, tilted to the side, and slowly fell to the ground with a creaky sound.

Su Dingfang shouted an order from behind, and the Turkic soldiers hurriedly ran over, lifted the two city gates aside, let the door hole, and a large group of Turkic soldiers rode into the city.

After entering the city, Wang Ping'an was even more disappointed, the avenue in the city is extremely wide, but the houses next to the road are extremely dilapidated, and very low, in the snow, some houses almost only have a roof, and even some houses have collapsed, obviously no one lives.

Wang Ping'an rode on the white dragon horse, walking slowly, he looked at both sides of the road, for a long time, before he said to Qiu Renjie, who was also disappointed: "No wonder when I was in Chang'an, some people often said that I wanted to collect a penny of tax in the fiefdom, I didn't believe it much, but when I arrived at the land today, I believed it." Not only will I not be able to collect taxes, but I am afraid that I will have to spend a lot of money. Repair my fiefdom! ”。 If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support for it
