Chapter 115: To Each His Own Mind
After Cui Yong received the report, he hurriedly climbed the city tower, and saw that a group of fierce white wave thieves who were still storming the city the day before were now like lambs to be slaughtered, tied up by ropes and strung into a line, standing together in embarrassment.
Look at the leader of the army wearing chain mail, although he is still young, he seems to have been in the top position for a long time, the instrument is impressive, and he is followed by a strong man with a big knife, full of murderous spirit, obviously not an ordinary person, his left and right soldiers and cavalry are wearing armor, swords and spears, and bows and arrows are hanging on the horses, which looks not small.
The magistrate of Shuoxian County stepped forward and saluted with a fist, and asked tentatively: "Do you have a certificate to call yourself a hussar general!" ”
Gongsun Yi took out a black bronzing token from his body, which was engraved with the words "Hussar General", and raised it slightly to Cui Yong, Cui Yong was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to the left and right: "Quickly open the city gate and welcome the hussar general into the city!" ”
Cui Yong, the general of the imperial court, could not afford to offend, and even once Cui Yong thought that the imperial court had forgotten his county order, and neither collected taxes nor sent appointments.
Especially seeing the banner swaying on the hillside in the distance, no one knows how many people there are on the other side, if he offends the general in front of him, the other party forcibly attacks the city, and the day the city is broken is when he dies, how dare Cui Yong, the army that can defeat the Baibo thief army, dare to underestimate it, and immediately order the opening of the city.
The city gate slowly opened, and the county magistrate Cui Yong personally led people out of the city to greet him, and followed him with a smile while respecting, and Gongsun Yi also handed over a group of Bai Bojun to the county magistrate for disposal, hoping that Cui Yongnian would spare their lives for the sake of ordinary people at the beginning.
Cui Yong, the magistrate of Shuoxian County, responded again and again, patted his chest and promised: "The order of the hussar general, how dare the lower officials disobey." ”
Shuoxian is located in a corner of the country, and there are no caravans that usually come and go, and he is actually not familiar with Gongsun Yi, a hussar general, even the current tense changes, who is the emperor, and the entire Shuoxian County is completely black-eyed.
However, Cui Yong has been an official for many years, but he can distinguish the person who has been in the top position for a long time, and the aura that exudes is not easy to imitate, especially the dark bronzing token, which is by no means something ordinary people can have, but what Cui Yong is most afraid of is the ambush soldiers hidden on the hillside.
In fact, Gongsun Yi originally wanted to defeat the Baibo army, but he didn't expect the night attack to go smoothly unexpectedly, and the Baibo army saw those banners planted on the hillside hunting in the wind, thinking that there were a large number of officers and soldiers ambushing around, and he lost his fighting spirit for a while.
The county magistrate, who was standing behind Gongsun Yi, asked with a respectful fist: "The soldiers have been driving all the way, and please come down from the mountain stream, although the city of our county is shallow, it can provide food and wine." ”
"The county magistrate doesn't have to worry too much, the hillside banner is just pretending to be a suspicious soldier, and there are only these dozens of people in my department." Gongsun Yi did not conceal the truth, lest the county magistrate think that the cavalry had the intention of attacking the city.
Cui Yong, the county magistrate, was stunned for a while, his eyes were constantly changing, who would have thought that dozens of people in front of him would actually capture hundreds of white wave thieves in front of him, but now it is obvious that his city defense army has the advantage, Cui Yong's mood has also changed slightly, and he is not as respectful as before.
Unconsciously stepped forward and walked side by side with Gongsun Yi, but was blocked by Guan Hai, who suddenly stepped forward, Cui Yong saw the tiger and wolf cavalry around him, and he could only hide his anger completely.
Gongsun Yi sighed slightly, it seems that this county commander was just afraid of the possible ambush outside the city, and he wanted to speak out in exchange for trust, but he didn't expect that now the county magistrate in front of him showed his original face, and it seems that Shuoxian should not stay for a long time.
However, Gongsun Yi did not come here for a long time, but to look for healers and herbs, and he didn't care about Cui Yong's attitude.
Gongsun Yi was not invited to the mansion, but stayed in a not very spacious inn, although Cui Yong was angry, but he did not dare to order the city defense army to make a move, whether it could be fought is still two words, more importantly, the Xiao cavalry army has just defeated the Baibo army.
Everyone knows that it is difficult to hold the city in the attack this morning, in Cui Yong's opinion, the so-called hussar general and his subordinates are the saviors of Shuo County, if they are strictly ordered to attack the small number of Xiao cavalry army, it is very likely to leak the news and even cause mutiny, Cui Yong does not dare to take this risk.
Before Cui Yong left, he openly persuaded Gongsun Yi to stay in the county seat, but everyone could see that he wished that the cavalry would leave his one-third of an acre of land in the near future, and he would no longer ask if he sent soldiers to send wine and meat.
In the inn, Gongsun Yi lived in an ordinary room, with only a small table and a simple wooden cabinet before the couch, and no other furnishings.
Soon, a soldier sent by Cui Yong entered the room and saluted Gongsun Yi respectfully: "Lord Gongsun, the villain is ordered by the county magistrate Cui to send twenty jars of fine wine to reward you all the way. ”
Gongsun Yi remained silent, and said lightly after half a salary: "Since you have something to say, just say it." ”
The soldier hesitated slightly, but finally knelt down and said, "Lord Gongsun, County Magistrate Cui has decided to kill all the white wave thieves in a few days, when the adults leave the county seat. ”
"Nonsense!" Gongsun Yi stood up and scolded angrily.
The soldier was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord Gongsun, the villain will never dare to say half a lie!" ”
"You actually tried every means to provoke the relationship between me and County Magistrate Cui, if you weren't for the person under County Magistrate Cui, I would have pushed you out and beheaded, get out!"
The soldier was terrified and fled in terror.
Gongsun Yi's brows furrowed slightly, he did not doubt what this armor soldier said, Cui Yong seemed to have plans to execute Bai Bojun, it seemed that he had said casually before, but there were many hidden dangers.
Gongsun Yi is very disgusted with this kind of capricious villain, and more importantly, taking this person in in is very likely to attract Cui Yong's vigilance, and angry scolding can ensure that things will not be leaked.
However, the White Wave Army will not be executed in a short period of time, and Cui Yong promised in front of Gongsun Yi and many people that he would make good use of these White Wave thieves, rather than execute them, that is to say, in a short time, as long as Gongsun Yi does not leave Shuo County, the White Wave Thieves will not worry about their lives.
At present, the most important thing is to solve the spread of the plague, although Gongsun Yi bought all the herbs stored in the county, but there is no Western medicine in the current era, and Gongsun Yi has no cure for the plague.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Gongsun Yi was lucky not to be infected when he went deep into the village room, but no one knows how long this luck will last.
Gongsun Yi ordered a group of soldiers to look for medical officers in the county, and offered a high price as long as they could treat the plague with a lot of money, and there would be brave men under the heavy reward.
There are even a lot of magic sticks among them, swearing to guarantee that their spiritual talisman blessed water can cure all diseases, and Gongsun Yi is very polite to order the left and right Jiashi to drive out with sticks, when Gongsun Yi is at a loss, there is a Jiashi reported that a family in the distance has a plague, and the city defense army seems to bury all his family alive to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Gongsun Yi was startled, and hurriedly led a group of cavalry troops towards the family, just to do a good job of epidemic prevention at the end of the day, everyone wore facial masks, held torches, and took some herbal medicines.
Gongsun Yi hurriedly came with people, looking at a house suspiciously, more than a dozen city guards with swords surrounded the surroundings and whispered, seeing Gongsun Yi coming, an officer immediately stepped forward and said: "Hussar general, why are you here?" ”
"What are you doing here?" Gongsun Yi stepped forward to ask.
In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Lord Cui ordered the family to be buried, but suddenly a strange person came to save the family with his life, and he actually entered the room very boldly, and now we have no idea, whether to believe this person." The officer hurriedly replied.
"I see." Gongsun Yi was interested in his heart, and felt that if it weren't for this family, only a doctor would act like this, and the doctor in history had the virtue of "not being a general, but being a good doctor", Gongsun Yi's heart was also lit with hope, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation in the dark, and this person in front of him might be the key to solving this plague.
