Chapter XVII: The Breach of the City I
Zhao Dali and Zhao Deli arrived at the town west of the city with seven or eight hundred righteous troops, and found that this town was already full of wailing, obviously the official army had patronized this place, and the town's richest man, Zhou's mansion, had also become a ruin.
Wan'er followed the rebels to the Zhou Mansion, and when she saw her uncle's house like this, she was taken aback, remembering that her sister was still in the Zhou Mansion, and hurriedly rushed into the Zhou Mansion. I saw that the Zhou Mansion, which was still majestic the day before yesterday, was burned beyond recognition. The air was filled with the smell of burning, the furniture was scattered, Wan'er saw two piles of soil lying in the courtyard, stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that these two mounds were standing with a small wooden tablet, which was engraved: the tomb of Zhou Youde of my father and the tomb of my mother Liu. Although Wan'er has no feelings for this uncle's family, as soon as this uncle died, Wan'er felt that there were no relatives in the world as soon as this uncle died, and her sister had no trace of life and death, and she couldn't help but feel a sadness in her heart, and she couldn't bear it, and finally cried bitterly in front of her uncle's grave!
Zhao Deli saw Wan'er walk into the ruins of the Zhou Mansion alone, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that it was not good. Zhao Deli hurriedly followed, and saw Wan'er pounced on a grave in pain, feeling sad, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Miss Wan'er, although your uncle's house is gone, your sister can't be found, and I am not there!" I can take care of you! ”
Wan'er turned her head and looked at Zhao Deli with red eyes, her eyes were hazy with tears, and at that moment, Zhao Deli was stunned, and when she didn't pay attention, a trace of saliva dripped down. Wan'er smiled when she saw this embarrassment, reacted again, and said to Zhao Deli with a straight face: "Brother Zhao, is what you said true?" ”
"Of course it's true, my father and mother are gone, I can take care of you wholeheartedly!"
"No repentance!"
"No remorse!"
"Pull the hook!"
"How many adults are there, and they still pull the hook!"
"People want it!"
"Good! Good! Good! Come on, retractor! ”
"Come, hang the hook for a hundred years!"
Wan'er looked at Zhao Deli, although this man has only known him for a few days, but after the drastic changes in the past few days, she gradually recognized this man who is a little honest and a little stupid.
Zhao Deli excitedly held Wan'er's hand and said, "Miss Wan'er......"
"It's still called a girl!" A coquettish snort.
"Hehe, Wan'er."
"Yes."
Zhao Dali and Zhao Deli sat down with the village chiefs in the largest hotel in town to discuss the next plan of the rebels.
Dozens of people are arguing together, and yesterday these people were still farmers who lived at sunrise, but now this group of people is discussing strategies and tactics together, which cannot but make people sigh at the mystery of fate.
At this time, there were many opinions in the venue. A tanned village chief stood up and said, "I think that if you are guarding the intersection, those officers and soldiers will come and kill one by one!" After speaking, he picked up the captured waist knife and gestured.
Another lean village chief stood up, and in order to show his wisdom, he first despised the black village chief, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense! How can they bear it if they attract a large group of people. If you want me to say, go to the north, there are several counties over there that have grain, and the granary of Nanjiang Prefecture is built there! ”
Then another muscular male village chief couldn't help but stand up and say: "I think it's better to directly hit the official army camp in the east of the city, beat the snake and hit the seven inches, and kill those soldiers, see what the government can do with me!" ”
There are all kinds of opinions in a mess, and there are those who say that they will simply disperse and go home, and the family has not done any farm work, and there are those who say that they are going to rob the landlords' estates, and it has been unpleasant to see them acting as powerful for a long time.
Zhao Deli looked at the map snatched from Xiucai's house in the town and was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Wan'er's parents were hacked to death in the city, as well as the scholar who stood at the front of the petition group, and the middle-aged hero who saved himself and Wan'er, stood up angrily, hammered his hands, and with a "bang", the audience was quiet.
Everyone looked at the young man. Zhao Deli suddenly found that everyone in the audience was looking at him, his mouth was dry with nervousness, and his hands were a little sweaty and he couldn't wipe them clean, but when he thought of Wan'er, he gritted his teeth, and as if there was no one in the whole room, he squinted and said, "We should attack the state capital city directly!" ”
Dozens of village chiefs in the audience looked at Zhao Deli in a daze, and finally the lean village chief asked: "Young man, the city of Nazhou is very high, we can't enter it at all, and the ironclad army in the whole state is there, where can we fight!" In my opinion, it's better to fight north! ”
Where did Zhao Deli come up with the reason, just when the eyes of the audience were about to take their eyes off Zhao Deli. I heard a voice from the door: "What he said is very reasonable, you should attack the state city immediately!" ”
The village chief looked back, but it was a strange middle-aged man. The lean village chief slapped the table and said, "Where did you come from, I see that you are a spy of the official army, and you are here to spy on the military!" What about the person at the door, how did he let him in! ”
Zhao Deli looked at the middle-aged man and immediately recognized that this was the hero who saved himself and Wan'er in the city last time, and he couldn't help himself excitedly, and said: "Elders, don't get me wrong, he is a good person, he saved me last time in the city, he killed several ironclad soldiers!" ”
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Deli with relief and said, "The government has no way, the people should rise up to resist, I am here to help you." ”
The middle-aged man stepped forward and pointed to the map and said: "First of all, this time the ironclad army and the garrison are dispatched together, and many troops have gone to places far away from the state city, so there are not many troops in the city, and second, there is my friend in the city as an internal response, and he will naturally open the city gate and let us in." Third, during the last turmoil in the city, there was a gang of bandits who rushed into the city, and that gang of bandits was the most famous horse gang in Nanjiang Prefecture: the Changhe Horse Gang, this gang of horses has not left, and the ironclad army that ransacked Zhou Mansion yesterday was surrounded by them and killed Jingguang when they returned to the city, and this time they were willing to form an alliance with the righteous army to attack the city together. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, although there were many people in the audience who didn't understand it very well, there was a good saying: Sun Ran, I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds like it's very powerful. There was thunderous applause on the spot.
Zhao Dali stood up and asked, "This righteous man has a great name?" ”
Middle-aged man: "Just call me Liu Anguo." ”
At this time, several well-informed village chiefs in the audience looked at each other, and one of the older ones stood up and asked, "Isn't it Liu Anguo, who is a great man of chivalry, who serves the country and the people?" ”
Liu Anguo: "Exactly. ”
The elder village chief: "Since Liu Daxia is here, this attack on the state city will be successful!" It's just that we and the Long Hippo Gang are not masked, so why would they help us? ”
Liu Anguo: "Gang Master Guo, please come in!" ”
saw a strong man with tiger skin walking in at the door, Zhao Deli looked at it, and sure enough, it was the person he saw in the city the day before yesterday who took the lead in killing into the city.
I saw that the Guo gang leader spoke like thunder, and his eyes seemed to be flashing, at this time, the Guo gang leader bowed to the village chiefs and said: "In the Xia Chang Hippo Gang Guo Jianyi, although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, but the most hated is the lackeys of the government. Violence, raise troops against the government, I naturally can't lag behind, and I specially led hundreds of brothers under my command to come to help! ”
Zhao Dali: "Okay! Gang Leader Guo's words are reasonable, in this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about I wait here for a blood alliance? Everyone present said in unison: "Okay, just listen to the order of Village Chief Zhao!" ”
Dozens of village chiefs who raised the banner of righteousness on the spot, together with Guo Gang Leader and Liu Anguo, made a bloody alliance and shared weal and woe with the rich and noble!
Zhao Dali is known as the general of the righteous army, the village chiefs are known as captains, Zhao Deli is known as the deputy general, Guo Gangzhu is known as the general of the righteous army and the horse army, and Liu Anguo is called the guest general.
