Chapter 14: Grievances

Zhang Ji was overjoyed to see his henchmen come to him safely. Because Zhang was injured now, he couldn't move around the ground for the time being, so he arranged for his henchmen to lead Dong Shouye's military horses to get food.

Dong Shouye asked again: "Zhang County Order, there are also a lot of military officials and officials in this county, why didn't you lead the military officials of the county government to compete with the Xu family." ”

Zhang Ji replied, "Back to Captain Dong, there are also some Ding Suoran soldiers in this Puhan County, but there are not many, and they can't compete with the other party with a large number of people, plus the constant pressure from the top to protect the Xu family, Zhang can't, so he can only swallow his anger." ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that the Eastern Han Dynasty was really powerful, directly confronting the local governor of a county, this Xu family is now a little declining, and it is just an ordinary family, if it is a big family like Yuan Shao, how strong should the power be!

He asked again, "What is the name of the son of the Xu family?" ”

Zhang Ji replied: "That son's name is Xu Ying, and he is the son of the Xu family, who often bullies people and preys on the people. He also built a manor dock fort and purchased soldiers and horses. Short swords, long spears, strong bows and crossbows are all available. ”

Listening to Zhang Ji's words, Dong Shouye couldn't help but be furious and said: "Secretly possessing a strong bow and a hard crossbow is like a rebellion, what is the heart of this Xu family!" ”

Dong Shouye has the heart to destroy the Xu family, then Xu Ying verbally offended himself, as the son of the imperial master, if he was insulted and scolded and couldn't fight back, it was really unspeakable. must be killed to set an example, if you don't kill a hundred examples, the cheap Lao Tzu Dong Zhuo will not be able to pass that level, and his subordinates will despise themselves.

Dong Shouye asked again: "Is the injury on Zhang Countyling's back okay, and he may walk now?" ”

Zhang Ji replied: "Thanks to Captain Dong's concern, it is just a reward of flesh and skin, Xia Guan's family has been poor since he was a child, and his body is thick, and now he is fine, and he can walk simply." ”

After that, he moved his body and walked a few steps on the ground, Dong Shouye hurriedly stepped forward to support him and let him continue to sit down and rest. Dong Shouye asked again: "I don't know what Zhang Xianling has to do with the son of the Xu family, and why Xu Ying wants to whip you." ”

Na Zhang replied: "When he was sixteen years old, he was a minor official in Pusaka County, and Xu Ying was doing gong cao in Pusaka County at that time. That Xu Ying relied on his family power and often bullied the county officials in the county, and later Xu Ying saw that I was not pleasing to my eyes, so he found a reason to whip me. I came from a humble background, so I could only swallow my anger, so I resolved my resentment with the son of the Xu family. ”

Later, after more than ten years of accumulation, Zhang gradually became the commander of Pusaka County, and Xu Ying gradually resigned.

But there are people above the Xu family, and there are thousands of servants, and the previous county commanders did not dare to offend the Xu family, and they all made friends with Xu Ying. When Zhang became the county magistrate, he had to bow to the Xu family, and he didn't dare to offend big or small. But because Xu Ying had whipped Zhang Ji before, Zhang Ji's friendship was regarded by Xu Ying as a violation of yin and yang, and he had bad intentions. Always oppose Zhang and do not cooperate.

Although that one has the intention to act, there are always all kinds of constraints and cannot be used. Zhang had to swallow his anger, and gradually made Xu Ying more and more arrogant, often resisting orders and not paying land taxes. If Zhang wanted to forcibly collect it, Xu Ying would fight by force. Zhang was limited in strength and was always unable to win, and there was no strong reinforcement.

When Xu Ying saw this, he often insulted Zhang Ji. Sometimes even rough, although Zhang Ji was not directly beaten before, but the people who were closer to Zhang Ji were all cleaned up by the Xu family. And today, because of the grain field tax matter, he went directly to the county government and whipped Zhang Ji.

After listening to Zhang Ji's narration, Dong Shouye was determined to sweep away the Xu family, so he asked if he was familiar with the terrain around the Xu family and near the dock fort. Zhang Jijiu has been entangled with Xu Ying for a long time, and naturally knows a lot about the situation of the Xu family. Seeing that Dong Shouye intended to avenge himself, he naturally agreed. People are not sages, although Zhang is quite elegant, he has also been entangled with the Xu family for many years and hates them to the core.

Dong Shouye and Zhang Ji hit it off, talked happily with each other, shouted confidants, and hated to see each other late. Dong Shouye has the heart to solicit Zhang, and Zhang not only knows that it is difficult for him to make a difference in Puhan County, but also has the heart to serve Dong Shouye.

As he spoke, it was already dark, and Zhang Liao and the others had already arranged the banquet and meals. Dong Shouye told Li Dao, Zhang Liao and others that the Xu family was misbehaving, there were common people, and they insulted themselves. Zhang Liao and Li Dao immediately said that they were willing to be ashamed of their son-in-law. It's just that what Dong Shouye didn't expect was that Li Dao still had a full sense of justice at this time.

Emperor Taizu once said: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ”

Since it had been decided to sweep away the Xu family, Dong Shouye immediately let the army feast and prepare for battle. Although the army traveled all the way, because they stayed on the ship for many days in a row, the sergeants' bodies were basically not consumed. After a full meal, he immediately sorted out his weapons and armor, prepared to fight, and captured the Xu family and its dock fort that night.

At this time, a small official of the county government reported that Zhang Ji had heard that his eldest son and more than 500 servant soldiers under his command had been arrested, so he invited a group of well-known and famous people in Puhan County to talk and mediate. And a huge amount of money to reward the army. Dong Shouye glanced at everyone and said, "The original plan remains unchanged, and the Hongmen banquet will be set up immediately!" ”

Not long after, a group of more than a dozen people dressed in luxurious clothes and with big bellies entered the county office, and after seeing Dong Shouye beside Zhang Ji, they immediately came up to greet him, and the flattery was endless.

I only heard the first person say to Dong Shouye: "The general came from afar, the soldiers and horses are tired, I and the people of Puhan County have been Mu Tianen for a long time, and we should be well entertained, besides, the general came to suppress the thieves and protect our peace and tranquility, I really love the people like a son, and the merit is immeasurable!" ”

All kinds of tricks, all kinds of sycophants are coming! Fortunately, in the previous life, it was the era of information explosion.

All kinds of information can be seen, all kinds of gods and sycophants, and all kinds of super sensual words can be heard. Otherwise, I really can't bear it, these old fritters, the sugar-coated cannonballs of the old sycophants, indulge in their sweet words, and their voices are lustful.

When the nonsense was almost finished, only to hear that the main man was finally going to get down to business, the old fritter paused, hugged his fists and said to Dong Shouye: "Dog Xu Ying, who has eyes but no beads, inadvertently offended the little general, and offended a lot." I want to offer 2,000 stones of grain and grass, plus some good cattle, sheep and pork as an apology, I don't know what the little general wants? ”

When Dong Bai heard that others were patting his ass and there was not much new ideas, he heard that the main man finally said something substantial, and the soldiers were probably almost ready, so he said to the old fritter: "My father is the master of the court, and if you insult me, how can my father give up with you." ”

With a wave of his hand, he hinted that Zhang Liao and the others would do it. When the old fritter heard that the other party was the son of the imperial master, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

In an instant, the armor soldiers came out together, each with swords and soldiers, and arrested all these powerful old men. When these brain-filled old men saw that they were arrested, they knew that they had gone to the Hongmen banquet, and they couldn't help but regret in their hearts that they shouldn't have mixed with this troubled water.

After the soldiers arrested all these evil masters, Dong Bai asked Zhang Ji: "Zhang County's order, our army has been prepared, and we can attack the Xu family immediately, do you have any problems on your side, and can your body support it?" ”

This one is also a bachelor, and as soon as he hears it, he will be able to avenge himself, and his waist will be no longer sore, his legs will not hurt anymore, and he will be able to walk. Immediately nodded yes there, indicating that there was no problem with him, and the army could set off immediately.

Dong Shouye didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered to attack Xujiawu Fort immediately. Only more than 1,000 people were left behind to guard the camp for grain and grass, and the others all attacked Xujiawu Fort.

The Xu family was defenseless at this time, and their own master spent a huge amount of money to work in the army, and asked a group of well-known and famous people in Puhan County to talk and mediate.

And I heard that the leading general also greeted his master with a smile as in the county government, and arranged a banquet to entertain him, it seems that he is also willing to make peace, after all, who will have trouble with money, not to mention that the county commander Zhang Ji, who was born in a poor family, has no half of the background, and the fool will give up the money and food spent in vain, and go to stand up for the shabby county order.

As for his young master's insult to that general, it was just a misunderstanding, and it would cost more money at most. After all, now the general will have trouble with money? When you are a soldier and fight, you are not born and die for money!

The news I got in Xujiawu Fort was that the situation was optimistic, and my lord was drinking with the general, and they were talking happily. As a result, the dragons in the dock fort were leaderless and neglected to take precautions.

The Xu family's mansion occupies a large area in the county, but not many of the people are old, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them are concentrated in the manor dock outside the city. After all, the industry at this time was mainly fields, and the Xu family had thousands of hectares of fertile land. It is also common to build forts near one's own fields to guard them, and this situation is common in Pusaka Prefecture, as well as in the whole of Dahan.

Xujiawu Fort is more than ten miles outside the county, and it is also a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Dong Shouye arranged for Zhang Liao to lead more than 500 people to attack the Xu family's mansion in the city, and he took Li Dao and Zhang Ji out of the city to attack the dock fort outside the city.

Because the Xu family is arrogant, they always think that they are the best in the world, no one dares to provoke, and they are negligent in their defense, plus the Xu family's father and son were arrested, and the dragons have no leader and no one to command.

These so-called guards of the Xu family, like the urban management army of our Great Heavenly Empire, are all good at bullying the people, and once they encounter someone who is more horizontal than themselves, they will immediately wilt. Under the guidance of Zhang Ji, the party leading the way, it was just a charge, and the people in the fort died and surrendered.

Not long after the capture of Wubao, Zhang Liao in the city also sent a report that he had captured Xufu.

After the war, the results of the war were counted, and the Xu family, as a big family in Pusaka County, could really be said to have a wealth of hundreds of millions and countless grains.

There are more than 30 million yuan of copper money alone, and at this time, a stone of corn (millet) is only about 220 yuan, and ordinary ploughing horses, chariots and horses are 8000~20000 yuan! There are also a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, according to Zhang Ji's valuation, which can also be worth 30 or 40 million yuan, and the grain warehouse is full, and the grain alone has nearly 300,000 stones, which is enough for his 10,000 people and horses to eat for a year. He also surrendered more than 2,000 servants. Coupled with the 500 people who were forced to land in the county government before, they can form a group of people.

Dong Shouye immediately decided that this department would be temporarily led by Zhang Jilai. In short, Dong Shouye made a fortune this time, and the war money was too enjoyable.

After Dong Shouye and everyone counted the stolen goods and money, they asked Zhang Ji to arrange to deal with the Xu family. This Zhang is still relatively kind, but he just beheaded the father and son of the Xu family and some adult men, and the other women, children, old and young, spared their lives and sold them to others as servants.

This matter also made Dong Shouye quite satisfied, after all, Dong Shouye was not a person who killed indiscriminately.

The majestic and invincible Pusaka has since disappeared.

If you provoke people who shouldn't be messed with these years, you definitely can't get any better!
