Chapter 193: Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates
When Wang Dalun learned that Kong Youde rushed towards Kong's mansion, he shouted excitedly: "Ha Luha, if two holes fight, there will be an injury!" Little ones, speed me up, let's go be fishermen! ”
The generals all laughed and nodded in agreement, and they asked with a big smile: "General, are we going to catch fish or shrimp?" ”
"Don't arrest it, we're going to be a messenger of justice!" Wang Dalun said with a smile. Then he ordered: "Send a signal, let Zhang Bao make an idea, don't let Kong Youde run away!"
Everyone laughed and said: "General, you have to tell Zhang Bao that Kong Youde has robbed all the Confucian Mansion, and if you want to make a fortune, you should speed up, otherwise there will be no share of him!" That money fan will rush forward at a certain speed! ”
"If he dares to sabotage my deployment, I will even deduct his salary for the next life!" Wang Dalun scolded with a smile, and now he is in a good mood.
Under the urging of Wang Dalun, everyone accelerated their speed, and finally arrived in Jining two days later, only to see that the city wall of Jining is now dilapidated, especially the gate, which has already been set on fire by Kong Youde, and when they walked into the city, they saw that there were few people and few pedestrians on the street.
Seeing the arrival of the official army, the fathers and elders in the city cried like Wang Dalun: "Why didn't you arrive earlier, what's the use of coming now?" Our things have been robbed by thieves, and there is nothing left! ”
Wang Dalun was a little ashamed when he heard this, these were all intentional by himself, these people were innocently implicated, but he quickly made up his mind and comforted himself in his heart, if I don't do this, they will be hurt more in the future. At least I can help make up for their losses.
Wang Dalun comforted him warmly: "Fathers, we are late, please rest assured, I will help you defeat the Confucian thieves and try to recover your losses!" ”
"Really?" The gentry's eyes widened and they asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true!" Wang Dalun nodded.
"Mr. Wang, you wait for us!" I saw the gentlemen suddenly running to the shop on the side, and their actions made Wang Dalun feel very strange.
"What are they going to do?" Wang Dalun asked the Jining County Order very strangely, he ran away some time ago, fortunately Kong Youde only harassed in the city for a day, and then accelerated towards Qufu. So he came back with peace of mind. When nothing happened.
The Jining county magistrate looked at the appearance of the gentlemen. He was embarrassed to say that "they, they, want to make up for some losses." Your Excellency, you shouldn't have said that you would help them recover their losses! ”
"Where did I not say that, the loot captured must be returned to everyone more or less." Wang Dalun said very strangely.
"This. They have not been defaced like other places. Therefore, they do not have a clear understanding of the hole thief. You don't know much about adults! The Jining County Commander explained in a low voice, and his words were very difficult to understand.
Wang Dalun listened to the vague words of the county order, and didn't know what he wanted to say. But after a while, he finally knew why the county order of Ludao said that, only to see the gentlemen rushing back waving a piece of paper full of words, and they shouted loudly: "My lord, this is my loss, please help me find it!" ”
Wang Dalun took the list they wrote and looked at it, and he almost couldn't close his mouth, amazing! These guys are too talented, they even wrote several pages densely, and some even wrote about the chickens that were captured and eaten by the rebels, what the hell does this mean? Do you want me to cut someone's belly open and find the chicken for you?
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Dalun fanned the thick stack of thin sheets, and asked with a smile.
The county magistrate looked at Wang Dalun's appearance, and hid in the crowd very unrighteously, he didn't want to come forward, he scolded angrily in his heart, these bastards, people who lost money, why didn't Kong Youde rob you all? Do you really think Wang Hu is a good kind? Although the military discipline of his troops is very good, they are all soldiers, and your idea actually hit him!
A chubby gentleman in the lead had a smile on his face, but the smile looked as treacherous as it was, and he said: "This is our loss, please help me more, my brother is the squire of the history department, he usually comes back, and he likes the pair of coral the most!" ”
The other people were also talking on the side, it seemed that there were people who were officials in the court, and now all the relatives who were officials were brought out.
When Wang Dalun heard this, the smile on his face was even bigger, but he was scolding angrily in his heart, these bastards are really crazy about money, do they really think they are the kind of people who are easy to bully? Give you three points of color, and even open a dye room.
"No problem, no problem at all! Ladies and gentlemen, your losses are on me, and I will definitely help you get your losses back! Wang Dalun said with a smile.
After listening to Wang Dalun's assurance, the gentlemen were even more proud, and they praised Wang Dalun for being worthy of being the pillar of the imperial court, and they all rushed to say that they wanted to write letters to their families in the capital and ask them to help take care of them.
Wang Dalun listened with a smile, and when everyone said about it, he said gratefully: "Thank you, you are so supportive of me, Dalun is very moved in his heart!" I've been embarrassed to say something just now, but now that I've listened to you, I think you'll help me! ”
When the gentlemen heard this, they were surprised, and some people had a bad premonition. Sure enough, I only heard Wang Dalun say with a smile: "I really don't hide it from you, this, our army's grain and grass are running out now, and the supply of the imperial court is not available, now I see that everyone supports me so much, so please help solve the problem of 10,000 stone of grain?" ”
10,000 stones? When the gentlemen heard this, they almost cursed, are your soldiers all pigs? You are only 20,000 people, and each person can eat half a stone of grain in such a short time? You're not afraid of being strangled!
The gentlemen don't dare to speak, who has so much food! When the county commander saw it, he scolded angrily in his heart, you bastards are now in Wang Hu's way, and you want to take advantage of being a soldier, you are really whimsical! You're causing trouble and you want me to finish it!
Although he was unhappy, the county commander still said stubbornly: "General Wang, this city has just been hit by a military disaster, where can I find so much food at once, you see that this is feasible, I will ask you to help solve the five hundred stone military rations, do you think this is good?" ”
Five hundred stones, that's only a lot, about three tons, this is only enough for the army to consume for one or two days, Wang Dalun was very dissatisfied, he frowned and said, "Too little!" ”
The county magistrate glared fiercely at the gentlemen who were standing on the side as ostriches, and then said with a wry smile: "At most, a thousand stones, there is really no more!" ”
Then he motioned for Wang Dalun to come to the side, and said in a low voice: "Lord General Soldier, just teach them a lesson, it's not good for you to make a big fuss, I think after this lesson, they will be honest!" I beg the chief soldier to give me face, I really can't finish it if I want more! ”
"Then I'll give you this face! These bastards, do you really think I'm a bully? Wang Dalun nodded, and said in his heart that for the sake of your knowledge, I will give you a face!
"I'll talk about them in the future! Feel relieved! They won't dare in the future! The county commander hurriedly reassured.
"I hope so!" Wang Dalun nodded, and then took people to camp by himself.
As soon as Wang Dalun left, the gentlemen who were ostriches just now quickly turned into proud peacocks again, and they said angrily to the county order: "Lord Li, what do you call this!" This Wang Hu dares to disturb the place, I must write to the capital to sue him! ”
The other gentlemen are also gossiping about Wang Dalun, looking at their situation, Wang Dalun seems to be a chicken to be slaughtered, they can do whatever they want!
Li Xian Ling listened, but the fire in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he said lightly: "Everyone, you can wait for the complaint, now let's discuss how much food your families should produce!" ”
As soon as Li County's words came out, the righteous and indignant gentry seemed to be like a rooster choked by the neck, and they crowed silently. After a while, they all shouted about poverty, this one said how much grain was robbed, and the other said how bad this year's harvest was!
Li Xianling sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand to stop everyone's crying, glanced at everyone, and then reminded: "General Wang will send troops to Qufu tomorrow, which means that everyone must prepare food tonight!" I remind you that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates! Although General Wang's military discipline is good, there are also unexpected situations! ”
Threat, this is the threat of Chiguoguo! The gentry scolded angrily in their hearts, why don't you say that officials are like shaving, it seems that the officials are not good people, they are all embarrassed, and they are bullying people together! At this moment, they forgot that these things are what they are best at, and they regard themselves as ordinary people!
Although they were unhappy, they had to start making up the numbers, and they were also afraid that if Wang Dalun really came to rob the soldiers, the losses would be even greater. It's better to take the initiative yourself, how to say that you can also do personal favors.
Looking at everyone's painful looks, Li Xianling decided to comfort them, but this is not very good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you're lucky enough! Let's not say that Mr. Wang didn't go too far, just to teach you a small lesson, let's just say Kong Youde, if he wasn't in a hurry to find trouble with Confucius, and Mr. Wang also came in time, your losses would be much greater than this! ”
"We don't believe it! He, Wang Hu and Kong Youde, are almost the same! "The gentlemen are angry now, how can they listen.
"I'm not scaring you! I just received the news that Kong Yincao, the second brother of Yan Shenggong, was beheaded by Kong Youde, and I estimate that the Confucian Mansion may be a purgatory on earth now! Li Xianling said lightly.
"How is that possible?"
"How could it not be? Just now, the spies came to report that there was a fire in Confucius's mansion, and this fire could be seen ten miles away, and I heard that Kong Youde's rebels were killing people everywhere! Li County Ling explained.
"Ahh The gentlemen looked at each other, and now they thought they were so lucky! (To be continued......)
