Chapter 170: Wang Rui
These days are a disaster for Wang Rui, first the general's niece was robbed on his territory, Wang Rui thought it was a small bandit, so he ordered the local people to suppress the bandits themselves.
In fact, it also proves that this is indeed a little bandit, and he can't find the east, west, north and south after being beaten by officers and soldiers! However, then this group of bandits seemed to have opened their minds!
actually occupied Fengcheng, and later achieved an unprecedented victory, and even Huang Zu, a famous general in Jiangxia, was beheaded by the bandits. Then the situation with the bandits became out of control.
defeated Huang Zhong, robbed the tribute, and broke Anlu, everything made Wang Rui feel terrified. Fortunately, at this time, the Beijing division Luoyang sent troops.
This incident made Wang Rui happy for three days without closing his eyes, but the subsequent development made Wang Rui fall through his eyes, and he didn't expect that the army of 10,000 actually lost, and it was a complete defeat!
At this time, Wang Rui began to sleep and eat restlessly, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain to send men and horses to raid Jingzhou, at least, Wang Rui thought it was to rob Jingzhou.
And Wang Rui didn't dare to send people to attack, isn't this nonsense, even the most elite forbidden army of the Han Dynasty has lost, aren't they going to deliver food to others?
Therefore, Wang Rui has only one order, that is, to hold the city, I can't beat you in the field, but I can always defend the city. This is what Wang Rui thinks.
Later, news came that Lu Zhi led a large army to suppress the bandits, which made Wang Rui very happy, and that night, he held a banquet.
However, the good times did not last long, and the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising came, and there were small groups of Yellow Turban thieves in his Jingzhou. At this moment, the entire court was not calm, for no other reason, but because there were too many Yellow Turban thieves, as many as tens of millions, this time, Emperor Han Ling panicked.
In just one week, a large number of territories have fallen, even Yingchuan County has fallen, at this time, where can Emperor Han Ling take care of the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, a will will recall Lu Zhi back.
This incident was a blow to Wang Rui, and the most terrible thing was that Wang Rui was so sad that he fell ill all of a sudden, and what made Wang Rui even more speechless was that at this time, Qingfeng Mountain launched an attack!
Qingfeng Mountain sent a general out and swept the entire Jingzhou, no one could stop him, Jingzhou suddenly became a miasma, at least, Wang Rui thought so.
However, what Wang Rui didn't know was that the security in Jingzhou was much better than before, it turned out that Pei Yuanshao cleaned up all those bandits and bandits by the way when he was fighting the autumn wind.
Moreover, the clans in the city knew that Li Ziqiang hated those who bullied the people, so the patriarchs of those clans gave orders one after another, not to bully the people!
At least not for the time being. It is these two items that the atmosphere of the entire Jingzhou has changed!
But the common people are better, but the life of the big family is not good, so every day someone will always ask Wang Rui to send troops to exterminate the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain!
In the face of the pressure of the family, Wang Rui had no way at all.
Later, the patriarch of the family was also annoyed, so he didn't bother him anymore.
Wang Rui was lying on the Taishi chair, sleeping quietly, and at this time, a panicked footsteps disturbed Wang Rui's rest.
The person who came, fifty years old, looked refined, but at this time, he was frightened, and the housekeeper said to Wang Rui in fear: "My lord, something is wrong." ”
Wang Rui said lightly: "What does it look like to be flustered, let's say, is it that another city has been robbed by that puppet in Qingfeng Mountain, how many criminals does he want, and how much money does he want?" ”
It's no wonder that Wang Rui will be like this, he is already immune to Pei Yuanshao, at the beginning, Pei Yuanshao ordered a city to take money to redeem the city, but the people in the city did not give it.
Isn't this nonsense? You have not conquered the city, so why should you ask for money to redeem it? Besides, I'll pay the money as soon as you're just a soldier, isn't that too faceless?
Moreover, this ransom is basically from the family, with the money-hungry appearance of the family, where will they pay the money?
Later, a battle naturally broke out, and the bandits killed 1,500 people, accounting for three-quarters of Pei Yuanshao's total strength.
All the clans in that city were exterminated, and basically all the officers and soldiers were killed in battle, which woke up everyone to wake up, and since then, no one has come to touch Pei Yuanshao's beard.
And later, those cities called ransom, Wang Rui just scolded him, and then he was gone, after all, the situation is stronger than people, and there is no way to do it.
If the ransom is not paid, then the entire city will be finished, and if the ransom is paid, at least the city can be saved, which is more important, Wang Rui still knows.
Besides, the money paid is not from the government, but from the family, which has nothing to do with him, all he can do now is to get by, and live one day at a time.
Therefore, Wang Rui is also down-looking about these things, today, Wang Rui saw his housekeeper like this, and thought that another city was blackmailed?
However, his housekeeper said directly: "My lord, it's not like this, the Qingfeng Mountain soldiers are coming to the city." ”
"Oh, the soldiers are coming to the city. What the? Wang Rui reacted, and he asked loudly, "What's going on, you say it again." ”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain have already arrived in the city. ”
Wang Rui shouted: "How can this be, weren't they in Nanxiang County the day before yesterday?" How did you get to us now? ”
The housekeeper cried and said: "Master, I don't know, just now, a caravan found a large number of people and horses rushing towards us, and Jun Sima sent scouts to check, only to know that they were bandits from Qingfeng Mountain." ”
Wang Rui immediately asked, "How far are they from Xiangyang now?" ”
The butler replied, "Now we should be under the city wall." ”
As soon as the butler finished speaking, there was a burst of drumming.
Wang Rui's face immediately changed greatly, and he said: "Hurry up, invite all the officials above the seventh grade in the city to the mansion, and in addition, order the troops to pay attention to vigilance and not let the bandits come in." ”
Wang Rui quickly ordered.
The housekeeper replied, "No, sir, I'll do it." ”
"Wait a minute." Wang Rui shouted.
The butler asked, "Master, is there anything else?" ”
Wang Rui said: "Call the patriarch of the Huang clan, the patriarch of the Cai clan, and the patriarch of the Kuai clan together." ”
The butler replied, "No, sir." ”
After saying that, the housekeeper left quickly.
