202. Dark clouds gather in the city (2)
Bao Wen reached the city of Wuwei, and was originally going to shout, but for a while, he had mixed feelings, but he didn't know what to shout.
Since yesterday evening, it is now a day, and in this day, he has walked through life and death, and only feels as if he is in a dream.
But those red blood were not dreams, and when he came, he even saw that the whiskers were stained red with blood.
"Commander Bao!" Zhao Ying next to him urged.
"Hmm...... Senator Shi is available, Bao Wenda under his post, ask to see Senator Shi! ”
Shi Kefa held on to the battlements and poked his head down: "This official is here, Commander Bao, it's a great luck to see that you are safe, how is Chao' County?" ”
"After returning to the Senate, after the Ministry withdrew from Chao County, he was trapped in Qishan by Zhang Jinjia, the second king of the thief canal, and was later rescued by Yu Gongzi. Yu Gongzi broke the thieves, punished Zhang Jinjia, the first of his canals, recaptured the nest's county, and won countless victories. Later, because of the great strength of the thieves, they could only temporarily retreat, and there were several prisoners of the thief canal Zhang Jinjia's first achievement, and they were dedicated to the history of Senator! ”
Shi Kefa was stunned.
The news of Chao' County did not come, and Shi Kefa himself had been eagerly waiting for news from there after he took refuge in Wu'wei County, but the news brought by the refugees who fled was extremely chaotic and often inconsistent. At one time, it was said that Yu Guozhen defeated the thief, and at another time, it was said that Yu Guozhen was surrounded, and there was never any definite news.
Now good, the exact news is here, Yu Guozhen not only recovered Chao' County, but even killed Zhang Jinjia, the second king of thieves!
Shi Kefa knew about the two kings Zhang Jinjia, but Zhang Pu didn't know, he couldn't help but ask next to him: "Daolin, who are these two kings Zhang Jinjia?" ”
"The subordinates of the sacrifice thief, Xiang is famous for his fierce and brave battles, didn't the people who came before say that he is the pioneer of the sacrifice of thieves." Shi Kefa took a breath, and then ordered the city to lower the hanging basket and pull Bao Wenda and the others up the city wall.
Seeing this, Shi Jingyan sighed: "Command Bao and enter the city, I will be with the petty officials." ”
Shi Kefa's move was clearly still suspicious, and Shi Jingyan really looked down on the military formation ability of this well-known official.
I don't know what to do last night, and it can be said that it is the reason why the thieves suddenly attacked. His behavior of hanging people with hanging baskets is obviously not credible to Yu Guozhen, and he is afraid that the people below will be demoted!
"What does Shi Weng mean by this?" Bao Wenda was a little stunned.
"Of the more than 100 warriors last night, there were only more than 20 people left, and everyone else died unjustly." Shi Jingyan shook his head, didn't answer, turned his horse's head, and returned to Yu Guozhen's side.
Bao Wenda understood what he meant, and he was also a little angry in his heart, how could they be coerced by thieves after a hundred of them were left behind! However, unlike Shi Jingyan, he had a job, so he could only swallow his anger and go to the hanging basket.
"Is it really a thief Zhang Jinjia?" Shi Kefa saw the human head and asked in a trembling voice.
"Senator Shi can ask these thieves prisoners."
There were also a few prisoners among the thieves who were brought up, and without waiting for Shi Kefa to ask, they shouted, not only confirming Zhang Jinjia's identity, but also saying that Yu Guozhen had defeated Zhang Jinjia's entire army. In this way, Yu Guozhen's exploits can't be faked, Shi Kefa suddenly became excited, no matter what, he also participated in this battle, although he was only chased by others, but when it came to credit, he, the biggest official present, where would he not have a share?
He doesn't care too much about whether he has merit or not, but under the repeated victories of the rogue, he can severely thwart the thief's momentum, which is of great significance to boosting morale!
"Daolin, hurry up and open the door and invite Yu Jimin in, if you don't defend the city, you have to rely on his wisdom and bravery!" Zhang Pu next to him came and said.
"Oh yes, open the door, open the door, invite them in...... No, no, I'll go and ask for it personally! ”
No matter how dissatisfied Shi Kefa is with Yu Guozhen, he has to admit one thing at this time, Yu Guozhen can fight, and he can win the war! Although he is upright, he is not inflexible, and once he realizes this, he naturally knows what to do.
Wuwei city wall is more than two feet high, there is a bridge on the moat of the south gate, called Jiuhua Bridge, Shi Kefa personally went out of the city gate, to Jiuhua Bridge. Originally, he thought that Yu Guozhen would come up to meet him, but he found that Yu Guozhen had driven about 500 of those captives together, climbed a slightly higher slope, and was speaking loudly. The remaining 1,000 or so captives were still tied up.
Seeing this, Luo Zhimei (note, Zhang Huashu was wrong, thank you Wang Sun Wuyang for correcting) Seeing this, he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, because of the state judgment, he had dealt with Yu Guozhen, and knew that this person was difficult to deal with, so he didn't step forward easily, but just said to Shi Kefa: "Senator Shi, do you want to let the lower officials go first?" ”
"Naturally, there must be Laogui County, let Yu Guozhen come to greet him." Without waiting for Shi Kefa to speak, the county magistrate of Chao's county Yan Jue said.
He is now in the midst of a crime, as a county magistrate, he has the responsibility to defend the land, but not only did he let the thieves enter the city with little resistance because of his carelessness, but he also almost made Shangguan Shi Kefa fall into the hands of the cowards, and now he is greedy for life and afraid of death and flees. He knew that he would be punished, and his only plan now was to try his best to slap Shi Kefa's ass so that his punishment would be lighter.
It would be good to just wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, but it really can't, and it is not bad to be dismissed from office for a year and a half, and then come back to other positions.
Shi Kefa glanced at him sideways and ignored him, this strict county order is really a big fool!
"Don't want to disturb him to do business, let's go over, and listen to what Yu Jimin has to say." Shi Kefa said.
They slowly approached the gentle slope where Yu Guozhen was talking, but when they were ten zhang away, they were signaled to stop by the guards. Yan Jue had eyes this time, and didn't say anything more, and Luo Zhimei, who had always felt that Yu Guozhen was arrogant, couldn't help but be stunned again at this time: in the face of Shi Kefa, who was guarding the four mansions, Yu Guozhen was still so arrogant!
Shi Kefa ignored the two of them, but listened attentively to what Yu Guozhen was saying, and heard Yu Guozhen wave his hand and said: "You and the others were originally all good, and they were all peaceful people, but when the rogue came, he burned your homeland, Yinru wife and daughter, killed your brothers and nephews, and surrounded the thieves and others, and accumulated for several generations, turned into dung, and the ancestors were clear, and the lintel was completely polluted...... Now he has been captured and captured, and he will be killed, his surname has no life, and his soul has no support, which is a ghost and a lonely person. Ladies and gentlemen! ”
Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen's voice suddenly became louder, he paused slightly, and turned his gaze sternly in front of everyone: "Who made you change from good people to thieves of the country?" ”
Everyone was silent, Yu Guozhen spoke in the vernacular, they all understood, but they didn't know what Yu Guozhen meant by asking. When many people heard what he said, they either whimpered or lost their voices, or their faces were ashamed. Yu Guozhen was slightly happy when he saw such a reaction among them, and he asked again, "Who is it?" ”
He signaled, and the guards around everyone shouted in unison, "Who is it!" ”
Dozens of people suddenly asked, so shocked that the prisoners who were forced to sit on the ground were all shocked, so they shouted with a spirit: "It's a thief, it's Zhang Xianzhong!" ”
"And the thieves!"
The voices of gossip rang out, and at first they were sparse, and then there were more people shouting, and the voices were mixed.
Yu Guozhen turned his eyes and saw a man in his thirties who didn't speak, but hugged his head and cried, so he pointed to the man: "You, come out!" ”
The man didn't know that he was referring to himself at first, and the people around him didn't know what Yu Guozhen meant, so the two family guards came over and took the man directly to Yu Guozhen.
"What's your name, who's it, and who's who?" Yu Guozhen asked.
"Villain, villain Ying' Wangjiadian in Zhou, surnamed Wang, insulting the ancestors......"
"Say, it doesn't matter, here, who is different from you, who has been forced to be a thief?" Yu Guozhen said kindly: "Tell me why you are crying." ”
The man saw that Yu Guozhen was still speaking kindly, and although he was frightened in his heart, he still said it: "The villain's name is Wang Baozong, in Wangjiadian, there were a few acres of thin fields in the family, there was an old mother, a wife, and two sons and a daughter. But after the thief broke Ying's state, he passed the Wangjiadian and burned the villain's new house, the villain's wife and daughter, the villain's wife and daughter...... was humiliated by the silver, the second son was not angry, and the thief was anxious, and he was harmed by the thief, and the old mother did not know what to do, so she must be cold and hungry...... Freezing and starving to death...... Now that I am lonely, the official said that the villain felt that he was in tears, and asked the official to forgive his sins......"
As he spoke, he cried loudly, and this cry suddenly made the surroundings cry.
Yu Guozhen patted Wang Baozong on the shoulder: "What I said is that if it weren't for the rogue, I would be poor, and I would be able to survive with my family, and if I was more diligent, I might be able to save a fortune ...... the New Year's Festival."
As soon as he heard him mention "cut off the incense", Wang Baozong's crying suddenly turned into a howl, and many people around him who were already feeling Qi Ran also began to cry.
These people are all ruined, and it is very likely that they are the only ones left, and they can't help but be sad when they hear Wang Baozong's experience and Yu Guozhen's words. It must be known that Yu Guozhen asked people to screen them, and singled out the people from Feng'yang Mansion and Nanzhili from the accent, most of these people are not habitual Kou, but they were coerced after the Liukou invaded, and they had to come from the fact that everyone has a blood debt in their hearts!
Yu Guozhen ordered several people who were crying very sadly, and these people all told their family stories one by one, and they were really all blood and tears, and two of them said that they were crying out for heaven and earth, and fear and grief were intertwined, almost wanting to make them faint.
Yu Guozhen pointed to those captives who were not Feng'yang Mansion and Nanzhili, and asked everyone: "Ruined the family, Yinru's wife and daughter, and ruined your father and brother, are there any of them?" ”
Wang Baozong was the first to jump out, pointing at one of them and saying: "Yes, yes, this person, this person will kill my son, I wanted to follow the thief and kill him for revenge, but before I could do it, I was captured by the officials." ”
"Boom!"
A knife was thrown in front of him, it was Yu Guozhen's waist knife.
"Go, kill him, and avenge your son!" Yu Guozhen shouted.
Wang Baozong grabbed the waist knife and looked at the man, the man trembled, and said "It's not me, it's me", but he has an accent but it is a typical Shaanxi accent, Wang Baozong walked over step by step, the man wanted to get up and escape, but was held down by the two guards.
Wang Baozong came to him, raised his knife, and slashed down.
