Volume 2: Division of the Lieutenant Department Chapter 55: Dian Wei Intercepts Grain

Looking up, it is the Yanshi County Temple, outside the gate of the county temple, Chen Nuo's people and horses have been replaced.

Sincere! Chen Nuo turned over and dismounted, pressed his sword in his hand, turned around and ordered Zhu Ling again: "Calm down the war in the city as soon as possible, and come out of the list to calm the people!" Remember, don't disturb the people if you have nothing to do, and if you dare to offend, kill! ”

"No!"

After receiving Zhu Ling's reply, Chen Nuo went straight into the county temple with his personal guards, and in the hall of the temple, Chen Nuo issued several orders one after another, which was nothing more than arranging personnel to receive the Yanshi Mansion Treasury Cao, and the people were on the list, and they had been very busy. It wasn't until Zhu Ling came in and reported the latest situation to Chen Nuo that Chen Nuo raised his head from the case that he bowed down.

"Well, it's Wenbo. Wenbo, how's the situation in the city? ”

Hearing Chen Nuo's inquiry, Zhu Ling arched his hand and said, "General rest assured!" The fighting in all parts of the city has basically subsided, and all that remains is the people. In addition, in this rebellion, the thieves who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble were killed by our army, 200 were taken prisoner, and 300 defectors. General, what should we do with these people? ”

Chen Nuo said: "Captive? The old rule is that those who are willing to surrender will be incorporated on the spot, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be released out of the city, so as not to waste our army's food. As for those who ask for surrender, are they sincere, do they have combat power? If not, let it go as well. ”

"No!"

Zhu Ling thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, I just got the news that the county commander who escaped has been killed halfway through, and even his concubine has been killed together." ”

"Oh, really?"

Chen Nuo nodded and said: "Although this Yanshi county commander is nominally the enemy of our army, when our army came, he was so aware of the current affairs that he didn't want to go with our army, and he didn't let Zhang Ji enter the city, and he got his favor to some extent. So let's collect the body and bury it in a hurry. However, I don't understand one thing, since he has escaped from the city, he must know that the road is not smooth, so why didn't he bring some men with him in case of accidents? ”

"I heard that they brought it, but it seems that these people killed them because they were greedy for the money around the county commander."

Chen Nuo nodded: "People die for money, birds die for food, but that's it!" Okay, but he finally did a good thing before he died, and he died a well-deserved death. Wenbo, do you know that last night I sent General Dian into the city to burn his granary, but I didn't expect that the county commander had looted a lot of grain and piled it up behind the county temple. It's okay now, he has become a wicked person, but it is cheaper for me to be a good person. In this case, we should distribute all this food to the poor people in the city, and make up for their losses a little. ”

"This ......"

Although Zhu Ling knows that Chen Nuo cherishes the people very much, he must also be kind and charitable in the case of 'wealth', right? I think that last night, when Dian Wei's fire burned, there was no grain and grass stored in the city, and the treasury was looted, so now that the army has entered the city, how can it be said that it will have some benefits, right? I think it's rare to have a former county magistrate carry this black pot for him and get him some food, why not?

In fact, before Chen Nuo asked Dian Wei to burn the grain and grass, if he let his 'prophet' Zhang Ji not be able to enter the Yanshi, and the county order would definitely abandon the city, Chen Nuo would definitely not let Dian Wei burn the grain and grass. Even if you want to burn it, you can just burn the others, as long as it can attract Zhang Ji's people back. It's just that his original plan was to eliminate Zhang Ji's department in the corpse country first, and then even if Zhang Ji fled to Yanshi City, it would not last long because there was no food and grass to support him, and the army's morale was weak, so he would be defeated, so his goal of killing two birds with one stone would be achieved. It's just that how did he know that Zhang Ji failed to enter the Yanshi in the end, but the grain and grass were burned to the core. In fact, if you want to talk about it, this grain and grass is not his? Chen Nuo felt a little painful when he thought about it.

Although it is said that the former county magistrate did collect some grain for him before leaving, it was considered to be cheap for him, and he didn't take it for nothing. But in general, although this bit of food is a lot, it is nothing compared to an army of thousands, and he is not short of this food. Besides, he has just entered the Yanshi now, and the people of Yanshi are somewhat hostile to him as a stranger, and there has been 'peace' here for a long time, and Yu Hui, the former county commander, is still there, if you want to win the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time, then sending this grain is also a good choice. Besides, most of this grain was also temporarily collected from the residents of the city before the former county commander left, and now it is returned to them, which can be regarded as taking from the people and returning it to the people, and it can also win the hearts of the residents in the city, so why not?

Chen Nuo smiled, waved his hand, and said: "This matter is so decided, please trouble Wenbo for you to go down and do this!" ”

"No!"

It seems that this is the only way to go. Zhu Ling nodded and walked out.

At this time, a herald came in and bowed his hand to Chen Nuo: "General, General Pan has returned to the city!" ”

"Really!"

Chen Nuo stood up and said, "Please!" ”

There was a sound of steps, and in the blink of an eye, a general hurried in from outside, and bowed when he saw Chen Nona. Chen Nuo had already stepped forward, hugged his arms with both hands, and said, "Wen Kui, it's hard work, don't be polite, get up!" Pan Zhang didn't move, bowed his head and said, "The last general should die!" Although the last general was ordered to send hundreds of cavalry to pursue, he still failed to catch the thief general Zhang Ji in the end, and hoped that the general would punish him! ”

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Wen Kui, you are serious!" Didn't I already pass down the order, it's my intention to let you come back, and it's your luck to catch Zhang Ji. Now that I haven't caught it, it's actually not that important. Besides, Zhang Ji left 1,7800 corpses in the corpse country, plus the 500 soldiers and 300 war horses who surrendered to our department, and there were less than 500 or 600 who could go back to find him. He's left so much, do you still want to strip him of his clothes and pants and let him go back with his bare ass? If outsiders hear this, won't they also scold me for being a greedy and conscienceless person? ”

"This, absolutely nothing!"

Chen Nuo's joking words immediately made Pan Zhang sweep away the haze, straighten up, and said, "However, general, you said that there are 500 soldiers who surrendered? And also captured three hundred war horses? Is this, is this true? ”

"Ahem!"

Chen Nuo straightened up and said, "If you look at me carefully, does it look like you're telling a lie?" ”

"Ah, five hundred cavalry, three hundred war horses, haha, now the number of cavalry can be doubled. Three hundred plus three hundred, isn't that six hundred? Haha, it's out! ”

"That, Wen Kui, what are you muttering?"

"Nope!" Pan Zhang smiled and said, "I'm thinking." ”

Thinking about it, Chen Nuo almost laughed when he looked at his frowning expression. Who does not know, he is now a horse archer, training the existing three hundred cavalry. Although he does not have the right to transfer troops, if he wants to lead these people, he has to get Chen Nuo's approval, but these 300 cavalry are all trained by him with his usual painstaking efforts, how to say that he has a lot of affection for these 300 cavalry. And now, after hearing the news that there are 500 trained cavalry and 300 war horses captured, if it can be added, it will be a large number, and the cavalry department is bound to increase its power greatly.

Chen Nuo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Well, yes, you have to think, think about how to quickly transform these ready-made forces into combat power, if you can complete it, you should make a great achievement!" ”

The meaning of Chen Nuo's words could not be clearer, he promised to hand over these captives to him for disposal. After hearing this, Pan Zhang's body shook, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's high expectations!" ”

Chen Nuo nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a shout outside the hall: "Girl, the general is dealing with the public. You can't go in now! ”

"General Chen, Brother Chen, Brother Chen......"

There was a shouting outside, and Chen Nuo immediately heard that it was Su Li's little girl. He pulled his robe, walked out of the hall, and said to Su Li: "Your brother Chen is here, don't call anymore!" Then he ordered the guard, "Let her in." He turned around, went back to the hall, patted Pan Zhang's shoulder, and said, "The general is covered in blood, so let's go back and take a hot bath, change clothes, and eat some hot meals, but don't get tired." ”

As soon as Pan Zhang gave up his hand, he was about to go out, and Su Li ran in from outside the hall. Before entering the hall, I heard her shouting at the top of her voice: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I heard that General Pan Zhang, who was ordered to pursue the thief, has returned, I wonder if my stupid big man has returned?" Why didn't he come back to see me? ”

Seeing that he was busy and fainted, if it wasn't for Su Li's reminder, he would have forgotten about it!

Chen Nuo called back Pan Zhang and asked, "By the way, Wen Kui, did you see General Dian when you went to pursue Zhang Ji?" ”

"Of course! But shouldn't he have come back a long time ago? ”

Dian Wei fell off his horse, and he immediately arranged for someone to take it back, and according to the speed, he should have arrived in Yanshi City one step ahead of him. Only now that he heard Chen Nuo ask this, his heart was also tight, what was going on, could it be an accident?

Tuk tuk!

The herald walked outside the hall and exclaimed, "General, General Dian, ask to see you!" ”

"Quick!"

"Silly big guy!"

Su Li floated out of the hall in an instant like the wind, and when he saw her again, he was already pulling Dian Wei's arm, competing with Dian Wei. Dian Wei wanted to break Su Li's little hand on his arm, but this little girl was stubborn, pouting, and shouted: "You are injured like this, what's wrong with me helping you?" "Drag him in.

"Lord...... Uh, General Pan is there too! ”

Dian Wei hurriedly shook off Su Li's little hand, lowered his head, and took two steps forward under his feet, and met Chen Nuo and Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang and Chen Nuo saw Dian Wei's embarrassed appearance in the face of Su Li, and couldn't help but pair their eyes, interesting! That Pan Zhang coughed lightly and arched his hand to Chen Nuo: "This...... Now that General Dian has returned safely, the last general is also relieved, and the last general still has a duke. If you are in the body, you will not bother. He said hello to Dian Wei again, and walked out. Before leaving the hall, he glanced back at Dian Wei, and then at the little girl who followed Dian Wei's buttocks, couldn't help but shake his head, smiled in a low voice, and walked straight away.

"Dianjun! You're ......."

Of course, Chen Nuo was happy to come back safely, but seeing that his clothes were torn all over his body, his flesh and blood were blurred in many places, and his face was full of dirt and blood stains. Chen Nuo was horrified, hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm, and even said, "Don't say anything, it's good that Dian Jun can come back safely." In this way, you hurry up and go down to rest, and I'll come to visit you later!" ”

Dian Wei nodded hurriedly and said, "That's fine!" However, the lord still wants to deal with one person before this, and there are also some grain and grass that need to be ordered by the general to help carry them. ”

"Grain and grass? Also, 'one person'? ”

Chen Nuo looked at Dian Wei, his heart tightened, who is it? Where does the food and grass come from?

"That's ......"

The person is the Zhang County Order who ran from Ping County to Chenliu to ask Zhang Ji to move the rescue soldiers. Grain and grass, naturally, he brought it.

Here's what happened, Dian Wei fell off his horse, and was made a simple stretcher by a dozen cavalrymen left behind by Pan Zhang, and turned one route from the trail to the official road, preparing to send him back to Yanshi for treatment by the military doctor. Although Dian Wei was in a coma, he was very conscious, especially when he was being carried, his head resting on the pergola, and he entered a state of 'clarity' for a while. Even in the midst of rapid travel, the sense of 'clarity' is extraordinarily sensitive. When he was confused, his ears first moved, and he seemed to hear some sounds. It's footsteps, right in my ears, and that's fine. However, in addition to the sound of footsteps, the sound of 'rolling' on the ground in the distance, with his usual vigilance, although he was in a daze, immediately woke up, and felt the danger approaching for a moment.

And it was because of this vigilance that he immediately woke up from his coma. And because of the tension, the pain on my body disappeared immediately.

He knew that a great enemy was approaching. He immediately ordered them to stop, and hid in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, waiting for the 'rolling' sound to approach. And Dian Wei's sudden move naturally made the soldiers who carried him here and prepared to send him to Yanshi City for medical treatment were very puzzled. They were very puzzled, but because of Dian Wei's position, they had to follow. I thought that Dian Wei's actions were pure madness, but when they heard this 'rolling' sound, they were immediately shocked, and they had to admire Dian Wei's power.

It wasn't until the sound of 'rolling' approached that Dian Wei saw that it was indeed a baggage convoy, one after another. On the baggage truck, there are countless grains and grasses. Not only was Dian Wei's breath heavy, but the soldiers beside him were all wide-eyed.

Seeing that the grain and grass convoy was approaching, Dian Wei's hands naturally touched the handle of the iron halberd behind him, but his eyes were staring at the grain and grass convoy for a moment, not stopping for a moment, and there was a posture of wanting to devour it alive.

"General, you...... What are you...... You don't want to use such a small number of people to intercept this grain and grass, do you? ”

"Why not?"

"This ......"

Dian Wei, and the people behind him added up to only a dozen people, and Dian Wei was still seriously injured, and the side that was about to be hijacked by Dian Wei had no less than 100 soldiers guarding the grain, and there were hundreds of coachmen, and a convoy that stretched for miles, he was doing this, it was a joke!

Of course, Dian Wei is not joking, there are so many grains and grass delivered to him, if he doesn't take it, wouldn't it be an even bigger joke.

Since Zhang Ji can't be caught, he is embarrassed not to accept this big gift from Zhang Ji.

Dian Wei pulled out the iron halberd and wanted to make a move, without looking at the nervous expressions of the soldiers behind him.

"What should I do?"

The elder who led the team in this group was asked by his companions, he pressed his hand to the gun, turned his head and said, "What else can I do?" Since General Dian wants to do it, I'll follow! There was no way, and the others could only nod their heads.

But they found that Dian Wei could have done it right away, but he didn't.

Dian Wei, looking down, looked at the teams of rolling baggage carts, as well as the thieves who walked by, their hands pressed on the handle of the halberd, but they still did not move.

Could it be that the general saw so many people and he repented again, this is also possible! It was also when they were guessing that their general suddenly made a move.

In the middle of the baggage pile, a flag was erected, waving the banner of Zhang Ji, but the person riding under the banner was obviously not Zhang Ji himself. That person, Dian Wei was fortunate to meet in Ping County. At that time, he followed the lord Chen Nuo to open the city and help Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang exterminate those remnants, and he heard someone call him the county order at that time. And this county order is the county order surnamed Zhang who fled later. It's a pity that there was a shortage of soldiers at that time, and this Zhang County Order was fortunate to escape in his hands, but he didn't expect that today it was a narrow encounter.

Dian Wei's hands tightened, he had already jumped out like a tiger, pulled out the halberd in his hand, and rushed all the way to the big banner and rushed to Zhang Xianling.

Originally, if it was according to his usual temper, since he had made up his mind to start, he would definitely not hesitate again and again and wait with bated breath. It's just that before jumping out, he suddenly remembered a sentence that the lord Chen Nuo told him, which was: Shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first!

Obviously, this guy who stands under the banner and has fierce eyes is the leader of these people. Moreover, he also knew that he was the respect of a county, except for this person, it seemed that even the general with the troops was missing, and if he wanted to 'capture the king', he could only look for him.

Dian Wei's outcry of killing came from his throat, like thunder, and immediately disrupted the scene.

"Protect the prefectural order! Protect the prefectural order! ”

As soon as Dian Wei came out, he rushed straight to Zhang County's order, and the soldiers on the left and right next to Zhang's order shouted loudly and came to block it one after another. Even, Zhang Xianling himself suddenly saw Dian Wei's jumping, and he was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse. He tried to escape, but soon, his neck had already completely succumbed to the cold and murderous iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand.

"Don't want to die, get out!"

The snake can't do it without a head, not to mention that these people are all stragglers sent by Gongxian, and they haven't experienced any war at all, and they were suddenly killed by thieves, and they immediately flew away. Dian Wei arrested Zhang Xian Ling and brought it back first, but because there were too many baggage trucks, he couldn't bring them back, so Dian Wei had to go into the city first to ask Chen Nuo for his life.

When Chen Nuo heard what Dian Wei said, he immediately smiled, and ordered: "Temporarily imprison this county order surnamed Zhang, and immediately send people out of the city to get the grain and grass!" That's right, Dianjun...... Hmm, you don't look good! Someone, someone, hurry up and send me a military doctor! ”
