Deng Ji retreated to Taihang after a plunder along the way, and the neighboring counties finally had to breathe a sigh of relief, and the city was closed, but he became nervous again.
Now the people in the city have already known that the army stationed in Guan before was not the main force of Deng Ji, but the courage of General Zhenggu was inevitably too small, and the thieves did not attack the city, and he did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
The bandits have not yet retreated, presumably Deng Ji, who is going to turn around, and the troops are coming to attack, but Huguan is the eastern barrier of the party, and the terrain is dangerous.
All kinds of speculation continued, and there were many rumors, after knowing the situation of the eldest son's breaking the city, there was no need for the government to urge, and the big families all sent their own troops to the wall to assist the officials and soldiers in defending the city.
Before, Huguan County township clans have fled from the west gate into the city, according to the news they brought, this time by the bandits, the worst is the Shipo Township Jiao clan, the whole clan was slaughtered, not to mention, the village was also burned to ashes by the thieves, only the Jiao Tong who was left in the township to be a Qiangfu was able to get rid of it, and it has also come to run.
A day later, Jiao Tong really led dozens of pieces to escape to Huguan, bringing the bad news to Jiao's Liangzhu Jiao, who was an official in the county.
The Jiao family is not a small clan in Huguan, and the power of the downstream of the door is quite the director of the public security bureau of a county in later generations, hearing this news, several families who are not on good terms with them on weekdays can't help but secretly gloat, but they are struggling in the troubled times.
No matter what the others are, in the Jiao Mansion in the city, Jiao Tong was not in a hurry to see the eldest sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, but ordered the subordinates to be sent away, let the subordinates guard the door, and only the two brothers were left in the house, so that Deng Ji took the entire Jiao clan as a hostage, and let the two brothers speak in Huguan.
Jiao touches the character Gongdu, now in the prime of life, with a national face, but his eyes are a little small, and he doesn't look coordinated, but from Jiao Tong's entry into the city to the end of the story, there has not been any wave on his face.
After his brother stopped talking for a long time, Jiao Fu sighed lightly, took out a handkerchief with handwriting from his arms and handed it over.
Jiao Tong spread it out and saw that there were only a few trivial things written on it, but there were also things he was familiar with, and there was only one word "Qin" in the payment.
"A few days ago, the thieves shot this into the pass, the people in the city all spread it, I ordered the servants to find it, just one look, I knew that it was related to the seventh sister, and it was rumored that the entire Jiao clan was slaughtered by thieves in the near future, I don't believe it!"
Jiao Qin is a sister at home for seven, the brothers all call her the seventh sister, Jiao Touch is the elder of the same generation, Jiao Tong is the fourth among the brothers, after speaking, Jiao Touch took the silk silk from Jiao Tong's hand, and said suddenly: "The thief coerced us and waited for the internal response, what is the meaning of the fourth brother?" ”
The family and the country are all over the world, and the interests of the family are greater than the country in this era, Jiao Tong lowered his voice and said: "The eldest brother should know, the younger brother has always hated the thief, but now the mother, wife and children and the whole clan have all fallen into his hands, and the seventh sister is also in the midst of fire and water, forced by it, so I have no choice but to let it go, and then find an opportunity to do it in the future!" ”
Jiao touched the silk silk in his hand, and said angrily: "Deng Pimple, that thief is hateful, he only says that his own family is secretive, but he doesn't know that Huguan City knows all the thieves of our old in-laws Wu clan, seeing him behave like this, how can he not suspect me?" If it weren't for the fact that the seventh sister had lived in the countryside for a long time and was not famous, I would have broken off contact with the Wu family four years ago and would have been imprisoned! ”
In Huguan for several years, Jiao touched his family into the city, and occasionally returned to his hometown, he was keen on fame, and the whole clan lost the hands of thieves, and he didn't care too much, but there was another reason, and he got up and sneered: "If my brother stays in Huguan, sooner or later he will be implicated and sin by this thief!" If there is chaos today, the princes have different intentions, I heard that after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Sanfu spread the proverb 'those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao also', although it is obscure, but today's Han Dynasty is young, the power of the traitor is in the court, the people's hearts are changing, and the national honor may be difficult to preserve. ”
Jiao Tong was overjoyed and asked, "What does the brother mean?" ”
"So what if you offer this pot for him?" Jiao Touch gritted his teeth and said: "The princes are fighting Dong, the court is too busy to take care of itself, and the Shangdang officials and troops are not as powerful as the Montenegrin thieves, if there are no more variables, sooner or later they will have to fall into the hands of the Huns like Shangjun and Xihe, and the power will follow it, or you can avoid the disaster of foreign races!" ”
Jiao Tong smiled and said, "Brother, see me! ”
Since he decided to be a bandit and should sacrifice the city, the sooner he acted, the better, otherwise when Zhang Yang led the troops back, the chance would be much slimmer, Jiao Touch made up his mind and shouted: "Come on!" ”
In the past, no one answered from the servants who had promised him, Jiao Tong remembered something, his face changed, and he apologized: "I was in a hurry, and I forgot to tell my brother that the outer part was a thief from Deng Pimple's department who pretended to accompany me into the customs, seized the door and rejected the enemy, and I had to rely on them!" ”
The two are half-brothers, and the relationship is not very good, Jiao Tong actually concealed it first, is it to prevent himself from saving his clan? Jiao was taken aback, stared at his brother's face for a while, and saw that his face was calm and there was nothing wrong with it, so he took a deep breath and said, "So, you call!" ”
Jiao Tong went out and shouted softly, and the thieves who pretended to be the trilogy came in, led by Wang Kuang, Lazy Gu and Dian Wei, afraid that Huo Dao'er would interject nonsense, so he didn't bring him with him this time, and the rest of the Elan and Xiahou Sheng of the Fraud Eldest Son City were also there.
Jiao touched and lived in Huguan for a long time, most of the curvatures in the middle of Jiao's Township were incomplete, and it was not his own that Jiao was not led by Jiao, and he saw Dian Wei's majestic figure and peculiar appearance, and his heart was already like a mirror, if his own family did not follow, he would definitely be held by them and forcibly take the city.
At this point, Jiao Touch had no choice but to put away his unhappiness and reluctantly asked: "I am willing to respond internally, but how can I communicate with the leader of your family?" ”
According to the etiquette law, Wu Ning is Deng Ji Zheng'er's wife's uncle, and now he is only a team leader, and he has to salute when he sees himself, this person in front of him is just the brother of the pimple concubine, Wang Kuang is even more indifferent, and replied: "The military candidate once said, if he goes to the pass, three red lights will be hung in front of the camp gate, if Xian Kunzhong is interested, I can shoot arrows at night, and the appointment can be done, if the city takes the lamp, it is the military candidate's consent!" ”
Jiao Touch is used to being an official, and he is used to being treated politely, but the old thief who leads the team in front of him is even more displeased, so he forcibly pressed himself and said coldly: "In this case, I will go to the city wall to see that your family can return to the camp!" ”
Jiao Touch is the pillar of Jiao's family, there are more than 100 parts left in the city for him to call, and now it is the same as everyone else, he has already sent the city head to assist the officers and soldiers in defending, and Jiao Touch leads the newly arrived Wang Kuang and others to the city wall, and it is not abrupt.
Looking outside Hukou Pass, three red lights were indeed hung in front of the bandit camp.
Fearing that there would be a change, Jiao touched a few pieces of cloth that night, and agreed with Deng Ji to start the fifth watch, Wang Kuang took it, forwarded it to Lazy Gu, and watched him carefully tie the cloth piece by piece to the arrow branch that went to the tuft.
There was a curfew outside, and Jiao Touch sent his servants to lead the lazy evasion of the parade officers and soldiers, pretending to be an assistant to the guard, and secretly went up to the city wall again.
Outside the city, it was so dark that there were no five fingers, except for the red light in front of the camp, Deng Ji had a bonfire in the center of the camp, and he didn't bend his bow to shoot at the bonfire while there was no one around.
A few arrows were shot, and the people who had arranged to watch them all night picked them up, picked them up and reported to Deng Ji, and it didn't take long for several red lights in front of the village gate to be taken down.
Lazy to rest assured, and then touched back to report Jiao Touch, Wang Kuang, etc., Jiao Fuzhong ordered the servants, and waited until the dawn of the fifth watch, and rushed to seize the city gate.
After the attack, Wang Kuang, Dian Wei and other guards cut down the city gate with knives, let the servants of Jiao's tribe go to carry it, and he waited for the brave soldiers to kill the officers and soldiers from all around.
At this time, most of the officers and soldiers were still asleep, listening to the shouts of killing at the city gate, and there were also people outside the city, who were already frightened and panicked, some were busy looking for weapons and armor, some people fled outside the west gate regardless of it, and some people saw that Wang Kuang and others were few, desperately trying to recapture it.
If he loses the pot again, Zhang Yang will have no place to stand, he will do his best these days, put on armor and fall asleep at night, and when he was awakened, he was busy leading his own soldiers to see, Wang Kuang and others were few, and in order to pretend to be a trilogy, they were not wearing armor, and they were still guarding the city gate to let the Jiao people and others carry the sand and stone giant trees, if the archers were transferred to shoot, they would definitely be able to shoot them all, but they were all around, and they were looking for archers for a while?
Although the brave soldiers are fierce, there is no threat of archers, but Wang Kuang and others are only dozens of people, and most of them are short soldiers, and they suffer losses against the enemy, and the officers and soldiers are urged by the stubbornness, and the tide is surging, and they also suffer a lot of casualties.
It takes time to move the sand and gravel at the city gate, and this place is in a bitter battle, and after a while, Wang Kuang, Dian Wei, Ailan, Xiahou Sheng, etc. are all covered in blood, and finally found more than ten archers in the chaotic army, and they are sent to approach, and they are too lazy to see the back, and they take out the ability to shoot the second arrow too lazy, and the strong bow is quickly accumulated, and three or four people are shot in a row, and the rest of the people are afraid and dare not come forward.
Deng Jijun was greatly reduced in pressure outside, and the siege was also tight, and there were brave soldiers who climbed the ladder to kill, rushed through the city gate to help the battle, and worked together to resist the officers and soldiers.
After a while, most of the sand and gravel heavy logs were finally removed from the door hole, and the door latch was removed, and the chariot millet and other soldiers used logs to knock the city gate open from the outside, and the iron cavalry rushed in.
The general trend has gone, he sighed, drew his sword and wanted to wipe it on his neck, but unexpectedly an arrow flew in, and there was a soft sound of "doo", which was shot on the wrist, and the pain in his hand was unbearable, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and two pawns rushed forward and held him down.
The bowstring was still "buzzing" and trembling, and he said softly: "The military candidate said that you must be captured alive, otherwise Lao Tzu would have pierced your throat with an arrow!" ”
