Chapter 16: Living and Dying Together
In Guangling City, Wang Tengzheng was eating and drinking with Huang Hu and others.
After wandering in the wasteland for more than ten days, eating all the wild vegetables, the birds had long since faded out of the mouths of the border people.
Now, Wang Teng has successfully saved the county seat and finally improved the lives of the border people.
Although the small county town does not have much deliciousness, the ordinary wine and meat are enough to satisfy everyone.
Dozens of border residents were full of food and drink, their eyebrows fluttering, their expressions excited, and talking loudly about the thrill of the right talent.
"Brother Wang is really a pearl, a few days ago, who would have thought that the military jacket we picked up could really come in handy? Haha, look at the appearance of the frightened farts and pee, they still think we are really officers and soldiers."
"Who said no, the rogue outside the city is a well-known minister of the old slippery king, the east captives crossed the border, he was unscathed, who would have thought that he would be played by the Wang brothers"
"Brother Wang's wisdom is unparalleled, if it weren't for him, how could our brother have survived until now?"
……
Everyone said a word, and they all told Wang Teng's benefits.
Ma Wu was really very, he ate the meat in a big gulp, and said in his mouth: "Follow Brother Wang, there is meat to eat!" ”
Everyone burst into laughter and said in unison: "Okay, let's follow Brother Wang and eat meat!" ”
From Huyukou to Guangling City, Wang Teng showed a unique approach.
If it is said that hiding in the Cailiang Mountains is just a last resort, then today's border people have long regarded Wang Teng as the real leader.
Everyone is not stupid, if it weren't for Wang Teng, who would have been able to get to this point safely?
Not to mention that there is wine and meat, I'm afraid that my life will be gone!
The border people are very simple, Wang Teng saved them, and he was their savior.
Huang Hu, Tong Yi and others gathered around Wang Teng, they knew that if they provoked Wang Zhichen, the other party would never give up.
The neighboring border people were eating and drinking, but they were a little worried.
Blacksmith Zhang, who had always been steady, asked in a deep voice, "Brother Wang, what are your plans?" ”
"If you don't get rid of the king's ministers, we are only afraid that there will be no peace"
Blacksmith Zhang agreed: "That's right, if you hit a snake, you will hit seven inches, since we have provoked Wang Zhichen, we have to find a way to kill them, otherwise, this county will not be stable."
Wang Teng was originally worried in his heart, attacking and killing Wang Zhichen was a dangerous move to kill him, he took the initiative to ask Ying and didn't know what everyone would think, but now, Zhang Blacksmith immediately reassured him at this point, "Everyone, I have a plan to kill Wang Zhichen to prevent future troubles."
"Oh? Come quickly, I'll listen to you."
"If the king's ministers go and return, tomorrow I will go out of the city to deceive, the county order has promised to give me property, tomorrow to the thief's camp, I will knock over the cash cabinet, induce the thieves to rob, at that time, it is a good time to capture the thief and capture the king"
Tong's eyes were always blazing, "Count me in!" ”
Wang Teng bowed his head heavily, "Good brother, count you in!" ”
Huang Hu drank heavily and slammed the bowl and got up, "How can such a big event be without me?" ”
"Okay, Yellow Tiger, you go too"
Blacksmith Zhang rubbed a fire gun, which was a treasure he scavenged from the hands of the Tartars, and said in his mouth: "It's just that the Tartars kill people and oversell the goods, and Wang Zhichen's gang of rogues have also lost their conscience, they are Han people, Brother Wang, tomorrow's battle, count me in."
Wang Teng took a deep breath and said, "We are all good brothers, let's live and die together."
I don't know when, Ma Wu also jumped over, "And me, Brother Wang, didn't you forget me?" ”
Wang Teng shook his head with a smile and said, "Ma Wu, you are still young, this time, you just stay in the city and take care of everyone."
"Then what's the matter, Brother Wang, do you think I'm not good at martial arts?"
"Okay, even if you don't succeed in the three armies, the women and children in the city have to be taken care of, and I can't rest assured that others, you have to do it!"
Ma Wu drooped his head and kept silent, but he did not insist on going out of the city.
Going out of the city to attack the king's ministers is a matter of life and death, and once you choose the wrong person, you will definitely lose all your efforts.
In history, why did Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin fall short, and it was not because Qin Wuyang lost his courage at a critical moment?
Otherwise, if Jing Ke gets the weapon in his hand, it is still ambiguous whether King Yingzheng of Qin will survive.
The leader of the Liukou Wang's ministers is naturally not as good as Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, but he also has a lot of guards around him......
That night, Wang Teng selected ten servants and went to the blacksmith shop to make a few discus overnight.
Time was in a hurry, and he couldn't make armor, so he could barely make an iron plate to protect his chest and back.
Everything is ready, just wait for the king's ministers to attack.
The county office, Wei Yuan stayed awake all night, and the men and horses who went out of the city to spy brought the exact news: Wang Zhichen was gathering his troops, and he had clearly released the wind and would attack Guangling again tomorrow.
The things that the county order can know about naturally can't be hidden from the big families in the city.
When the news came out, the local gentry were panicked, and they even had the idea of fleeing overnight, but Wei Yuan had already sealed the city gate and strictly forbade anyone to enter or leave.
At a critical juncture, defending the city is the most important thing, and as for whether it will anger the big families in the city, Wei Yuan can't care so much.
Everything depends on Wang Teng!
Early the next morning, Liukou really appeared outside Guangling City.
The dense crowd didn't seem to have been deterred by yesterday's failure.
Wei Yuantie blushed and scolded fiercely: "Ant thief! ”
Wang Teng didn't say much, just clasped his fists and said, "Adult, the villain is ready."
Wei Yuan patted Wang Teng's shoulder and said, "If you can't do anything, retreat quickly, if you lose the money, you will lose it, and your life is at stake."
"Thank you for your kindness, but this time out of the city, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent"
Wei Yuan didn't expect Wang Teng to be so determined, he sighed and said, "Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news here."
Wang Teng was about to say goodbye and leave, when a shout suddenly came from under the city: "Can the Guangling County Order be at the head of the city?" ”
Wei Yuan motioned for Wang Teng to wait for a moment, and he ordered: "Tell them that this official is here."
Suddenly, a sergeant shouted: "My lord is at the head of the city, what do you want?" ”
"Tell Lord Wei that if he hands over the thief who cheated yesterday, and then offers 5,000 catties of grain, 500 taels of gold, 50 pairs of armor, and 5,000 bows and arrows, the leader of my family will not be guilty of the past."
Wei Yuan laughed angrily, "It's really a thief who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he actually talked to me about the conditions."
Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Wei Yuan is a dignified scholar, if he loses his discipline because of thousands of rogues, he will definitely become a laughing stock in the officialdom, and he will never be able to raise his head again.
Lead the army out of the city?
Wei Yuan forcibly suppressed this tempting thought, he stared at Wang Teng, and said in his mouth: "I have already prepared everything you want, as long as you can do it, I will definitely do what I say!" ”
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "The adults are relieved, and the villains will come when they go!" ”
"Go ahead!"
By now, Wei Yuan had not many chips in his hands, and if Wang Teng failed, he would not have much choice but to fight against the water.
I hope Wang Teng can succeed immediately!
Wei Yuan was really angry, and this time, Wang Zhichen challenged his bottom line.
