Section 211 Reinforcements for captives
In the city of Haizhou.
Jiang Yang, one hundred households in the East China Sea, asked to see the adult Zhizhou last night, and did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to Zhizhou, and painstakingly explained to Zhizhou that the conflict between Yang Chao and Zhizhou was completely caused by the reckless language of the family and annoyed Yang Chao.
The governor of Haizhou reluctantly accepted this explanation and agreed to provide some supplies outside the city, but it was clear that according to the old rules, Yang Chao had to pay a sum of silver, and because Haizhou City had been besieged for a long time and the prices were high, this silver had to be increased five times more than before.
Jiang Yang didn't tell Yang Chao the news, nor did he pay the money according to the requirements of the Haizhou Governor, because he knew that Yang Chao was not short of food, and Yang Chao only wanted some vegetables, so Jiang Yang simply spent his own money to buy a large number of vegetables in the city.
One thing Haizhou Zhizhou didn't lie, the price of goods in the city is indeed high.
When there were scattered captives in Haizhou, the governor of Haizhou had the "foresight" to seal all the city gates with bricks and stones, which not only prevented the displaced people from outside the city from entering the city, but also the people in the city could not escape, and the materials could not be transported in, so the prices rose very sharply.
Grain is good to say, there are often closed positions in Haizhou City, and there is a large amount of grain in stock, but vegetables, which are seasonal and fresh goods, are becoming less and less, and if you want to find a little, you really have to pay a high price of five times or even higher.
Jiang Yang spent a lot of money, almost all his net worth, and only a few hundred catties of vegetables.
Through his own connections, Jiang Yang sent these dishes from the city down the city, and then he personally went down to the city, and pushed the vegetables back to Yang Chao's military camp with a trolley alone.
"This wasn't sent by Haizhou Zhizhou, right? This is what you, Master Jiang, bought with your own money! ”
When Yang Chao saw these dishes, he smiled and said to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang didn't expect to be guessed by Yang Chao so easily, so he nodded with a wry smile and admitted.
Yang Chao immediately handed over these dishes to Huang Fengfu and told Huang Fengfu that these dishes were kept for the wounded.
Old man Bian is called Bian Rang, a gentle and frugal 'let'.
You can tell from the name. Old man Bian is still a bit cultured.
And he is also a humble person, famous near and far, and has many friends.
The most important thing is that the Bian family is the old household of Bian Jiapu. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of family business and owns thousands of acres of salt fields.
The Bian family is not prosperous. Bian Rang only has one son and one daughter, so he has adopted many righteous sons since he was a child, hoping to protect his son and keep the family business in the future.
The daughter married the son of a wealthy neighboring man.
But Bian Rang knew that his daughter and Bian Er grew up together, and the two were childhood sweethearts, but the door was not right, so it was impossible for him to marry his daughter to Bian Er.
Bian Rang didn't expect his behavior of climbing high branches. but killed his daughter.
This time, Bian Rang let his son move into the city very early, but his daughter's family had a high-walled compound and dozens of family members, and they did not enter the city to hide.
As a result, the captives were together, and the old man Bian Rang was first arrested under the city of Haizhou, and after being rescued by Yang Chao, Bian Rang proposed to leave, in fact, it was not entirely for the little hidden wealth at home, most of the Bian family's wealth was taken to Haizhou City by his son. The reason why Bian Rang wants to go back is actually because he is not worried about his daughter and wants to go and see.
It turned out that the compound of the in-laws had been looted by the captives. The whole family of 100 people was killed.
Bian Rang was almost crazy, and after wrapping his daughter's body in a mat and hiding it, Bian Rang rushed to Haizhou City again, but he met captives on the way, and he was desperately guarded by Jiading, especially after Bian Er was injured in many places, he was able to save his life.
Bian made the old man hate Dongyu so much that he wanted to eat their meat.
"Well, since you want to avenge Miss. I won't keep you either! But before you go, you'll have to kill the chieftain. To relieve the hatred in the old man's heart! ”
The captive chief that Old Man Bian said was the captive general who was arrested. This captive general occupied a large house alone in the barracks, and there were several soldiers who served him, not to mention, and Dr. Wu also treated his wounds.
Yang Chao's soldiers didn't care about this, but these people who had a common enmity with the captive soldiers couldn't understand it very much, and they couldn't wait to swallow the captive general.
Bian Er agreed: "Father Xie, forgive my son for not being able to fulfill his filial piety!" ”
Bian Er kowtowed three times in a row as he spoke, then got up and strode away.
walked all the way to the captive's room, reached out and took out the wrist-untying knife in his arms, rushed into the room at once, and in front of the two stunned soldiers, grabbed the captive's neck, grabbed the knife and stabbed the captive soldier's stomach!
……
When Yang Chao arrived, Bian Er was pressed by two soldiers and knelt on the ground, and a large group of soldiers had already gathered in the room.
The captive general sat on a chair like a Taishan, drinking wine by himself, as if watching a good show.
Yang Chao saw Bian Er kneeling on the ground, with his wrist-dissolving knife next to him, with a calm demeanor.
"You're going to kill the chieftain?"
Yang Chao asked coldly.
This captive chief is an important person, and he is a captive, and Yang Chao still has a little bit of a civilized mentality in his heart that he does not kill prisoners.
"It's me!"
Bian Er replied very simply.
Yang Chao said: "Why? ”
Bian Er said: "In order to kill the Tartar with you!" ”
Yang Chao is a little confused about this logic, in order to kill the Tartar with himself, do you have to kill a captive chieftain, in order to prove his courage, he will submit a vote?
I can't understand Bian Er's logic, Yang Chao doesn't want to think about it, the trouble is how to deal with Bian Er.
Anyway, this Bian Er seems to have caused a lot of trouble for himself, he was the one who grabbed the horse and sent the wine last time, and now he is holding a sharp knife, and he is also the one who wants to slash the enemy chief in the military camp.
How to deal with it, you still can't kill it, but punish it -
Yang Chao suddenly caught a glimpse of the old god of the captive, and looked at Yang Chao with a playful taste in his expression, and a national feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.
"Hmph, Lao Tzu won't be punished yet!"
Punish your own people and let the barbarians watch a good show? Yang Chao couldn't do it, although he knew that it didn't make sense, he just couldn't do it.
waved his hand: "Let it go!" ”
Bian Er didn't want to leave: "I'm going to fight with you." ”
Yang Chao asked people to pull him all the way to the door, then motioned for him to turn around, and then kicked him in the ass, kicking him straight out of the door.
Then he turned around and went into the house.
"Change two people, not four, and escort the captive chief to the ship. As for the two of you. Go and get the ten army sticks yourself, and be punished for minor dereliction of duty. ”
The two soldiers who had made the mistake were ordered to be punished.
The captive general was quite comfortable, as if the performance of the Ming army just now had shown him a good show. Yang Chao was angry for a while.
"Tie it up and stuff it with the smelliest sock in the barracks!"
After speaking, he strode out of the barracks.
Celebrations are taking place in the barracks. Yang Chao made an exception to allow everyone to drink, but it could only be done in half and half, half in the morning, half in the afternoon, there was wine to drink and meat to eat, a feast, and a celebration wine!
Yang Chao also symbolically joined, and Li Liang and Zhang Dian followed him. One held a wine jar, the other held a wine bowl, poured a bowl before entering the banquet, Yang Chao took it and touched a soldier, said some words of thanks and encouragement, and then touched his lips, but there was no persuasion without opening his eyes, otherwise Yang Chao would have to get drunk.
Yang Chao was not drunk, Hu Quan was drunk, and Yang Chao didn't get up to toast. Sit on the ground and continue drinking.
Yang Chao knew that Hu Quan was not happy, and the reason why he was not happy was that Yang Chao had not let him go into battle. Instead, the street corner sent him to the artillery array, and even when Yang Chao himself led the team to charge, he didn't let Hu Quan go, which made Hu Quan very angry and asked Yang Chao if he looked down on him if he was dead.
Yang Chao was very helpless, out of selfishness, he really wanted to protect this friend, but the other reason was that Yang Chao had always regarded Hu Quan as a scholar, just like Yang Chao could not let Huangfeng Mansion or martial arts go into battle. Let Hu Quan rush into battle like a big-headed soldier, for the current Yang Chao. It seems a bit extravagant, and there are only a few literate people in the army. Not even one less.
The soldiers drank wine and ate meat while bragging about their skins, and Yang Chao occasionally listened to it twice, and the soldiers were very happy.
After the soldiers received a lot of silver bounties this time, many of them were thick-skinned and shouted that they would build a big house and marry a daughter-in-law when they went back.
This made Yang Chao feel that he seemed to have sent money early, these guys had obviously risen up to have a hedonistic mind, with this kind of thought, would they still be willing to fight with their lives in the future?
In three days, needless to say, the wine was naturally gone, and even the horse meat was eaten.
Yang Chao should also set off, but at this time, Gao Liangming, the governor of Haizhou, sent a housekeeper to come, and brought a large number of vegetables, fruits, and meat.
It seemed that it was too late, and it had been three days since the battle had been fought, and only then did it come to mind that the labor army would be needed.
And this time the Gao family's family was very respectful, completely without the arrogance of the last time, which made Yang Chao a little surprised.
But soon the answer was obtained, and it was found in Haizhou City that there were captives and cavalry in the north, and they were about ten miles away.
Only then did Yang Chao understand that it was the captives who came again, no wonder Haizhou Zhizhou had a better attitude this time.
And the number of captives will definitely not be small, I asked Jiang Yang in detail, Jiang Yang couldn't say the number, but said that I was afraid that there were more than last time, at least thousands of people, and they were coming in the direction of Haizhou City in a regular front ten miles away.
Therefore, Zhizhou hoped that Yang Chao could continue to block this group of captives, so he sent wine, meat, cattle and sheep!
The appearance of the Dongyu reinforcements made Yang Chao suddenly doubt his previous judgment, which previously judged that the strength of the Dongyu in Haizhou was only some sporadic plundering troops, and it was impossible for a large army to appear, and the reason why he fought a vicious battle with himself was because he was angered by himself, so he stupidly fought a battle with huge casualties.
But now that new reinforcements have appeared, and the scale is even larger, Yang Chao feels that maybe the 300 or so captives in front of him are the vanguard of the captives and are here to investigate.
The later army is the main force of the captives to really attack Haizhou, and to attack Haizhou City, Yang Chao judged that it is impossible to lose 10,000 people, which means that Yang Chao will face tens of thousands of captives, which suddenly makes Yang Chao embarrassed, even if he encounters thousands of captives, Yang Chao is also confident that he can defend with this warehouse area, but in the face of tens of thousands, unless he can enter the city, there is no hope to resist.
Gotta get into town!
Thinking of this, Yang Chao immediately asked Jiang Yang to go to Haizhou City to negotiate with Haizhou Zhizhou. (To be continued).
