369 A big play

"Rush, kill, kill, kill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Resist, brothers, otherwise, when this group of rebels invades the city, your family will suffer."

Outside the city of Panyang County, a fight is going on, groups of soldiers of the Gao family army outside the city are frantically attacking the city wall, hoping to enter the city, but the soldiers at the head of the city are also desperately blocking at this time, for a while, this war is really a little difficult to solve, which makes people feel enthusiastic.

However, this is only on the surface, if there are people who have nothing to do with the war at this time to watch, you will see that this seems to be the two armies fighting fiercely, as if they are making a show, the slogan is shouting loudly, but in fact there is no real engagement, even if the battle is soldiers on both sides, they are all holding weapons and casually gesturing, from the morning to the present, there is no casualty on both sides, of course, it is not nothing, there are still a few unlucky eggs, during the siege of the city, I sprained my foot.

"General Fu, do you say that we do this well, this is just like a joke, our army of tens of thousands of people, because of a letter, so that we want to act here like a play, didn't the county official say, as long as we wait for a day and a night, we will take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender to us, we might as well wait quietly, why do you do such an extra thing?" The general of Gao Jiejun, who was standing not far from the city, said with a wry smile to Zhongyan at this time.

"Hahaha, General Jiang, when it comes to killing the enemy bravely, General Ben may not be as good as you, but when it comes to the Tao in this officialdom, this official says something immodest, I want to be better than you, General Jiang doesn't feel like this is a farce, it is useless at all, but let me tell you, this is the beauty of this matter, and you will know the reason." After hearing General Jiang's words, Fu Zhongyan couldn't help but smile and said.

"Lord Jin, that Gao Jie is really rampant, if you don't care about it, I'm afraid something big will happen, now he not only wants to occupy Raozhou Mansion, but also does it to the local gentry, you know, those people are all generations of officials, the pillars of the country who have passed down poetry and books, and now Gao Jie's thief actually led a group of thieves to raid their homes, if those families offended him, it is understandable, but now, you see, this is a letter written by Brother Wu in Panyang County, Brother Wu said, Gao Jie's group of rebels actually asked them to open the door and surrender unconditionally, otherwise, they would break through the city and enter the city, what kind of thing is this, this matter is more rogue than Liukou, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others back then, I'm afraid it's just like that, so, Lord Jin, this is simply an intolerable thing, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will soon be my turn to wait, and when the time comes, if I wait for something to happen, I'm afraid Lord Jin won't feel good! ”

Just when the battle under Panyang City was in full swing, in Nanchang City, Jin Shengheng's yamen, there were many people at this time, from the perspective of clothing and bearing, they are all some people with status, and this is indeed the case, these people are the land of Jiangxi, some wealthy families in various places, many of them were once in the court of the big people, now, although they have retired, the Ming court has already undergone great changes, but their status in Jiangxi has not been weakened in the slightest, The reason why this is so depends on the huge strength of their respective families.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the land of Jiangxi has become a place where water cannot be splashed and needles cannot be pricked, and in the past, any imperial decree, without their consent, there is no way to implement it in the land of Jiangxi, and even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are helpless about it, at most they are looking for a few eye-catching chickens to show the monkeys, and it will be over.

And this was once the proudest thing of these wealthy families in Jiangxi, but now, they can no longer calm down, in the two counties of Dexing County and Anren County, the tragic fate of several wealthy families finally made them feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and more importantly, these old and sophisticated officials smelled a little dangerous breath from Gao Jie's unusual methods, and it was for this reason that they had just had an accident in Dexing County and Anren County. quickly left the things in their hands, and hurriedly came to this Nanchang Mansion to find Jin Shengheng to discuss countermeasures, for fear that it would cause inevitable things later.

Looking at the big man in front of him who was so anxious that he frowned, Jin Shengheng's face also had an ugly look, for Gao Jie's behavior, he also knew it when he first started, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, he originally thought that Gao Jie just wanted to expand some territory, in the troubled times here, as long as there is a little strength, people will have this idea.

Therefore, he didn't think that Gao Jie would do anything that had a huge impact, and even wanted to see Gao Jie's jokes, Jin Shengheng knew best about Jiangxi's affairs, without the support of those wealthy families in various places, it would be impossible for any force to persist for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that Gao Jie did not leave in disgrace, but became more powerful.

And the reason why this is the case, that is because, Gao Jie did not play according to the rules at all, but swept away all the rules, he began to formulate the rules himself, from Gao Jie's behavior of sweeping away all the wealthy families in the two counties of Dexing County and Anren County, Gao Jie's goal is not to be like this, hoping to be a local overlord in Jiangxi, but to really control the entire Jiangxi in his hands, so that he can not let him go no matter what, It is even more impossible to compromise with him, because, if he lets Gao Jie go, these family members of the wealthy families standing here will not let him go in the first place, although he has soldiers under him, but without the support of these people in secret, his soldiers will not be easy to use, therefore, until now, there is only one way in front of Jin Shengheng, that is, to force Gao Jie to withdraw from the army, and even, in the next time, find a way to completely eliminate Gao Jie, because only in this way can the people of these wealthy families rest assured, So as to maintain the stable development of Jiangxi as always.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are in charge, your words, the juniors have understood, you can rest assured, the juniors will solve this matter immediately, and they will definitely not let a mouse feces spoil a pot of soup, as long as the juniors solve Gao Jie, then this Jiangxi is still our Jiangxi, so, please go back to the seniors, the juniors should lead the troops to Jiujiang Mansion as soon as possible to solve Gao Jie and others."

Hearing Jin Shengheng's promise, those leaders of wealthy families breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Jin Shengheng gave them a promise, they believed that Gao Jie would definitely be wiped out soon, not to mention anything else, just say that the more than 100,000 soldiers under Jin Shengheng are also a powerful guarantee.

"Okay, since Lord Jin said so, then we old things won't say anything anymore, I just hope that Lord Jin can act faster, you know, Brother Wu of Pan Yang is now trapped in the city by the chaotic army, if Lord Jin goes late, I'm afraid Brother Wu will not be able to hold on." Speaking is the head of the Xu family, the Xu family is also one of the best families in the whole Jiangxi, since the Jiajing Dynasty, the head of the Xu family, Xu Jie, after overthrowing the famous traitor Yan Song, the entire Xu family has become a famous family in the world, more importantly, the Xu family after Xu Jie, wantonly married with a big wealthy family in Jiangxi, thus expanding the influence of the Xu family in the whole Jiangxi, and Wu Jun and the Xu family are in-laws, which is also the reason why the Xu family is so positive.

........................

"Dad, what can I do, it's been a day, but there is still no news, the battle outside the city is getting more and more intense, just the people sent by Mu Feng have already come three times, and they are more and more anxious each time, I'm afraid they are about to be unable to resist, if there is no news from Lord Jin, I'm afraid that the chaotic army outside the city will break through the city, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that our Wu army will suffer a catastrophe, Dad, you can think of a way!"

In Panyang County, in the Wu family's mansion, Wu Yingqiu and Wu Shourong's father and son were anxiously moving around in the hall, and the faint crying from the backyard could be heard, and the female dependents of the Wu family also had a feeling of impending disaster at this time.

Hearing the crying of the ladies in the backyard, looking at Wu Yingqiu's anxious face, Wu Shourong, who has experienced countless winds and waves in his life, is also unstable in his heart at this time, you must know that in the past, even if he faces no matter how big the wind and waves are, he also knows that at most he will just dismiss the official and go home, and he will not lose his life, but today's matter, if it is not done well, I am afraid that it will ruin the Zhengwu army's family, how can he not be nervous, but now, he has no choice but to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and he has worked hard in personnel, not only sent letters and money to Jin Shengheng, but also sent letterheads and benefits to all the families related to Wu Jun, hoping that they could use all their strength to ensure that the Wu family could survive this catastrophe, but now it seems that the effect is not great.

"Qiu'er, don't worry, our Wu army has been a family heirloom for hundreds of years, and for generations, we have done things in a dignified and upright manner, and we have no shame in our hearts, I believe that God will definitely not watch our Wu family go extinct, therefore, we still have a chance, by the way, if Mu Feng is sending someone to report, you can tell him, as long as you can defend the city, all the soldiers, my Wu army will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and it is also considered that my Wu army owes him Mu Feng a favor." Wu Shourong said.

If it was in the past, hearing Wu Shourong's words, Wu Yingqiu would probably have jumped up a long time ago, after all, although the Wu family has a big business, there are many people who eat with the Wu family, and now he wants to give tens of thousands of taels, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to others, how could he be willing, this is simply digging into his heart, but now, Wu Yingqiu has not turned on, and even keeps nodding, compared with the survival of the entire Wu family, these silver are nothing, if you really let those rebel armies outside the city enter the city, Not to mention the silver, I'm afraid they won't even have their lives.

It's a pity that just when the Wu family was in the midst of a catastrophe, a scene happened at the gate of Panyang City that they couldn't have imagined.

I saw that under the light of the dim torches, the city gate that was originally closed during the day was slowly opened at this time, and what was even more strange was that after the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the Gao family army who were originally surrounding the city wall and wanted to attack the city did not flock into the city, but stood quietly in place.

Seeing the open city gate out, Mu Feng stood there with a few people with smiles on his face, nodding and saying hello to Fu Zhongyan and the others who came to the city gate.

"Xiaguan Panyang County Ling Mu Feng, I have seen all the generals, originally the generals led the heavenly soldiers to come, and the lower officials should immediately take the initiative to open the door and surrender, but because the Wu family in the city is in the way, so they can only helplessly follow the most right with the heavenly army, the lower officials are guilty, and please punish the generals." When he saw Fu Zhongyan and the others, Mu Feng hurriedly saluted and whispered a plea, of course, saying that it was a plea, but it was more like explaining and shirking responsibility, and all the responsibility for leading the army to resist was put on the Wu family father and son. This is a typical 'dead friend does not die poor way' in officialdom.

Seeing such an acquaintance of the official, Fu Zhongyan and the generals behind him couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he heard Fu Zhongyan say, "Lord Mu get up quickly, this general also knows that Lord Mu is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and he will definitely not do anything to resist the imperial court, there must be a reason for this, otherwise, Lord Mu would not have written to inform us, and now in this way, the two of us put on a good show to those people, so as to stabilize them, so that they will not jump off the wall in a hurry, From this point of view, Lord Mu is not only without fault, but also has merit, and it is a great achievement, and when the time comes, after the general returns, he will definitely explain Lord Mu's loyalty to the court. ”

"How dare you, how dare you, this is just the responsibility of the lower officials, there are generals who dare to be so loved, the lower officials are ashamed of it, they are ashamed of it! It's just that from today on, this official will be a family with all the generals, and in the future, I will ask you generals to mention the lower officials more, and the lower officials will be grateful. Hearing Fu Zhongyan's words, Mu Feng suddenly said modestly.

"Okay, whether there is merit or not, this is not the general's final say, this is up to the court to say, let's enter the city as soon as possible, I hope to capture those people in one fell swoop, and give the court an explanation." Fu Zhongyan waved his hand and said.
