Volume 2: Sili School Captain Department Chapter 29: Brother Zhonghou
Once you cross the river and reach the boundary of Pingyin, you can only rush to Luoyang to the east to Pingxian and then south to Luoyang. Because all other directions are mountain areas, it is not conducive to the march of large armies.
Originally, this trip to Chen Nuowanluo, if it was according to the normal route, it should be as the previous time, go to Liyang, take Chenliu, Yingchuan and enter Luoyang. After all, most of these places are plains, which are conducive to marching, while looking at Hanoi is mostly mountainous, which is not conducive to the march of troops. But it was precisely Chen Nuo's intention to get along with Zhang Yang that he had to change this path, and it was naturally delayed all the way than the normal march.
However, now that you have crossed the river, the road to Luoyang is still easy to walk. Although Luoyang was destroyed in the war, it was once the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty after all, and the official road was very spacious, which was quite conducive to the march of the army. On this day, Chen Nuo's army had passed through Pingxian from Pingyin, and after a short stop in Pingxian, he went to Luo, and the road was quite smooth.
It was also thanks to him that he planned and deliberately gave Pingyin County the opportunity to let him go to Pingxian to borrow troops, and when the Pingxian soldiers arrived, he took the opportunity to annihilate them in one blow, which saved a lot of effort. How would the Pingyin Sanpeng clan know that they thought that Chen Nuo had entered the county seat, even if he was under their control.
In fact, Chen Nuo gave orders to Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang separately before entering the county seat, asking him to prepare for war and respond to attacks from the direction of Pingxian at any time. And when Chen Nuo entered the city, the two of them immediately sent scouts to the direction of Pingxian to continue to listen, and when they found that there was really movement there, they had already made corresponding preparations before. They pulled out all the baggage and piled it up a few miles away from the camp, and for the sake of bluffing, the bonfire was still not extinguished, and many scarecrows were placed in key positions.
Thinking about where these rescuers who came from Pingxian County could distinguish clearly in the dark night, when they rushed into the camp and found that there was no living mouth in the tent at all, Pan Zhang, Zhu Ling and others who were ambushed on the periphery immediately raised fire and strengthened their momentum, shouting and rushing into the inner camp. Those panicked soldiers from Pingxian still wanted to seize the camp and come out, but they had already been surrounded by Zhu Ling, Pan Zhang, and others, and they couldn't care about each other.
There was a big killing outside the city, and the three Peng subordinates at the head of the city saw that the situation was not good, and Chen Nuo had something to say, so he admitted that he had indeed fallen for Chen Nuo's big fall, and he couldn't regret it, and in order to save his life, he could only desperately kowtow and ask for mercy. This battle was fought until dawn, and after dawn, there were no less than 1,000 thieves and thieves who were captured, and the rest were mostly killed by the rebels, and less than two or three hundred people were able to escape. And the Pingxian Lieutenant who came with this army was also killed by the rebels, and as for the Pingyin County Order, he was captured alive by Chen Nuo's subordinates.
The people in the city did not hear the battle outside the city this night, although the county orders here have fled, but they are very clear about the order of the night ban, and they do not dare to easily violate it because there is no one in the city, so although they heard the sound of swords and soldiers in the middle of the night, few dared to come out to visit. When the day came, the people in the city also heard about the incident of last night, and they all hugged each other at the north gate, talking about speculation, and talking about it in a mysterious way.
After the war ended, Chen Nuo also quickly asked people to bet on Pingyin Peng's subordinates and take Tong Dian Wei and others out of the city to deal with the aftermath.
The head of the captain of Pingxian County is offered, reward!
The Pingyin County Order was pushed up and scolded!
Dian Wei has always been blinded in it, he never thought that this county order was so vicious, just run away, but he still dared to go to Ping County to move troops to trap the lord to death, it is really annoying, it should be killed! When Dian Wei saw the obscene image of the county order, he immediately scolded, 'Dog! He rushed forward, stretched out his hand, lifted his body high, and screamed in his throat. The three Peng subordinates behind him inevitably had a bit of a rabbit dead fox sorrow, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Dian Wei heard it, but he used the county order in his hand as a weapon and threw it above the heads of the three people. Where did the three of them think that because of a word, disaster fell from the sky, ah, yo, they couldn't make a sound, and the three of them were immediately smashed by human bombs and fell to the ground!
Looking at the county officials and Peng subordinates rolling on the ground, the soldiers and ruffians next to them were cheering, if it weren't for the main general Chen Nuo sitting here, I was afraid that he would have stepped forward and taken the opportunity to beat them. Chen Nuo didn't see it, and waited until the county commander and the others were almost disposed of before he signaled his soldiers to drag them over.
Two days ago, it had just rained lightly, and because it was close to the mountains and on the edge of the river, the humidity was heavy, and many places inside and outside the city were still disturbed by mud. The roll just now has made the county commander and others very embarrassed. The county order ran around this night, at this time Jin Xianguan took off, his hair was fluffy, his deep clothes were full of mud stains, and even the shoes under his feet did not know where he was lost, and he stepped on the ground with bare feet, and his whole body was up and down, except for a seal hanging on his waist, where could he see the shadow of half of the county order?
Chen Nuo frowned, glanced at Zhu Ling and the others next to him, and deliberately asked, "Didn't you say that you arrested the county order, where is the county order?" ”
Zhu Ling raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Pan Zhang pointed to the county order, pretending to be supportive: "Could it be this duke?" ”
When Zhu Ling heard this, he also knew that Chen Nuo was deliberately trying to trick the county order, so he said: "General Pan, you see that this person is not like a human or a ghost, where is there a little bit of a county order, I'm afraid it's not him!" ”
"Isn't it?"
Pan Zhang pretended to cough, and suddenly his face was tied, and he ordered him to drag this person to the back and kill him. The county magistrate didn't dare to admit his identity easily, but when he heard this, he knew that if he didn't admit it, he would die faster, so he defended himself in fear. Seeing that the other party was dusting off his clothes and armor, he hurriedly pulled the three subordinates behind him out and asked them to prove it to him.
Chen Nuo laughed and glanced at Pan Zhang, but Pan Zhang reacted quickly and stepped forward and said: "The county order is the parent official of the people, appointed by the Son of Heaven, do you say that you are the county order?" Do you think that with their protection, my general will believe it casually? Is there any other evidence besides them? If not, you will be convicted of impersonating the county magistrate and beheaded in public! ”
The county order is to wipe sweat on the forehead, prove, how to prove it? Suddenly, when he saw that the other party's lord was looking at the seal hanging from his waist, he immediately understood, and then he was shocked. The big seal of the county order in this seal bag was given by the Son of Heaven, and it was the seal of his parents here to govern the affairs of the county, how could it be easily held? But looking at the current situation, even if you don't give it, I'm afraid it won't work. The county order knew the current affairs, and quickly woke up pretendedly, untied the shackles, and held the seal.
Pan Zhang released the seal bag, revealing a large seal of 'Pingyin County Order' and handed it to Chen Nuo to see. Chen Nuo nodded and asked Pan Zhang to put it away, but he smiled and said to the county order: "Not bad!" Having this county order seal can indeed prove that your identity is not fake. ”
The county magistrate gasped hard after hearing this, but before he could breathe, he was choked by Chen Nuo's next sentence.
Chen Nuo held on to his cloak, took two steps forward, and asked him, "But Lord County Order, where is your County Order Great Seal?" ”
"In ......"
The county order turned his eyes to look at Pan Zhang, the big seal in Pan Zhang's hand was naturally hidden, and then looked at Chen Nuo's expression, knowing that he was being tricked, and wanted to argue, where did Chen Nuo pay attention to him? The county order was glared at by the scorching gaze of Chen Nuo's left and right, and his hands were crazy, and he almost vomited blood.
Chen Nuo stared at him with two eyes, and suddenly said, "Your surname is Zou, right?" I see that although you abandoned the city and left, you are still half a man, and you still know how to lead troops back from other places to save yourself. It's just that General Ben entered the city yesterday and asked the three elders, saying that you are too greedy, and I am afraid that you are no longer suitable to be a parent official here. In this way, the general will not be held accountable for the crime of your sneak attack on this general, but you must also understand the current affairs and understand the reason for advancing and retreating. Now, where are you going from here, I don't need to be pointed out by General Ben, right? ”
"That's it!"
After struggling, the county commander surnamed Zou was finally forced by the situation, sighed lightly, bowed his hand to Chen Nuo, and said: "Don't bother General Lao to ask, the contemptible people know what to do." The county commander said, took off his deep clothes, bowed his hand to Chen Nuo and the others, turned around and left.
"Wait! Are you just gone? ”
As soon as Chen Nuo's words came out, Dian Wei immediately stepped forward and blocked the way surnamed Zou.
The surnamed Zou may have been overwhelmed by Chen Nuo's actions, and immediately turned around angrily and wanted to attack, but because of the might of the soldiers left and right, his anger went down again and he didn't dare to speak.
"What is the relationship between Hou Zou Jing in the Northern Army and you?"
Chen Nuo suddenly remembered something and asked him.
The county commander surnamed Zou was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why Chen Nuo asked this question, but he finally said to Chen Nuo honestly: "He is my eldest brother." ”
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, as if he had caught something, but he continued to ask: "I heard that General Zou had served Liu Yan in Youzhou before, and he had also waved his army several times to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves, and he was quite loyal. After Liu Junlang was appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, General Zou did not follow, but now I heard that he followed Taifu Liu Yu. Since you are the brother of General Zou, why do you two serve the world with righteousness, but the other serves the thief Dong Zhuo, what is the reason? ”
The county magistrate surnamed Zou was slightly stunned, and he still seemed to be unhappy when he mentioned this matter.
He arched his long hand and said, "If the contemptible person said that he was caught by the thief Dong, and he was forced to obey because of the thief's strength, can you believe it, general?" ”
Chen Nuo smiled and raised his eyebrows: "How can I not believe it?" Dare to ask Mr. Daimyo? ”
Chen Nuo had only heard that the county magistrate's surname here was Zou, and he had never been interested in his real name, but it was different at this time.
"Zou Liang!"
The county magistrate said, and as soon as he bowed his hand to Chen Nuo again, he was about to turn around and walk away.
Since Chen Nuo caught this Zou Jing's brother Zou Liang, he naturally wouldn't let him go so cheaply. Chen Nuo immediately said: "Although General Ben took the seal of your county order, did he say that he would not kill or let you go?" I don't let you be the county magistrate because you're not here, but I can let you stay with me and be my staff, okay? ”
Zou Liang was shocked, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
