Chapter 64: Brave the City of Peril
Gu Yanwu hurriedly nodded: "It's good!" Guoxiong, you can rest assured! Gu Yanwu changed his words and said, "Guoxiong, you have to be careful!" I always feel that Cai Tu let you go this time......"
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "I know the way!" Huang Qi smiled and said, "I said Master Gu, you better take care of yourself first!" Look at your feet full of mud, where have you been? Why do you get so dirty? ”
Gu Yanwu replied: "Guoxiong let me take on the position of magistrate of Lingbao County, let me develop agriculture and build water conservancy, as a parent official, of course, I can lead by example and personally go to supervise the water conservancy!" As long as the water conservancy is repaired, there will be no worries about the drought year, and if there is water, the grain can be protected! Water storage is very important! ”
"In addition, the people in the north are not like the people in the south, they all go to carry water, most of them do not carry water, they only know how to rely on the sky for food. So they have to change their mindset. Store water, transport water to irrigate farmland, and vigorously develop agriculture! Agriculture is the foundation of the country! Although the north is not as watery as the south, this makes it even more necessary and important to store water! No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to do it well! ”
When Zhang Biwu saw Gu Yanwu's tanned copper-black skin, he knew that Gu Yanwu was very competent, and said: "Zhongqing, I think it's too wronged to give you only one magistrate!" You're not just a genius! is still a good person in governing the country, comparable to Wang Anshi, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao He! It's a pity that now you can only be relegated to a county! ”
As the saying goes, a scholar is a confidant, and it is Zhang Biwu who values Gu Yanwu so much, and Gu Yanwu will do his best to serve Zhang Biwu! At this moment, Gu Yanwu felt that Zhang Biwu should be the main father! And can no longer be called Zhang Biwu's cousin Guoxiong!
Zhang Biwu turned to Huang Qi and asked, "How is it?" Can Zhang Pan come back in time? Huang Qiying said: "I have already sent Zhong Yaofa to inform Zhang Pan, and I will rush to Shaanzhou City directly!" Although Zhong Yaofa is still young, this kid is neat and old-fashioned! ”
Zhang Biwu said with a solemn face: "Whether we can come back alive or not depends on Zhang Pan!" If Zhang Pan is slow, we will all die! Huang Qi nodded understandingly. What they are thinking in their hearts is Zhang Pan, Zhang Pan, you must rush to Shaanzhou City!
Zhang Biwu knew that Cai Tu's banquet was not a good one, especially when Zhao Dayong was missing, which was related to Cai Tu, when Zhang Biwu was in Shangzhou, he had a grudge with Cai Tu and Jiang Fei, and Jiang Fei and Cai Tu were eager to kill Zhang Biwu. In addition, they have Wang Dehua's support, and this time there is a ghost behind the potential of Gao Qi, and maybe a Yang Sichang, Zhang Biwu knows the difficulty of his situation.
Huang Qi asked again: "Biwu, do we really not transfer troops to the outside of Shaanzhou City?" Zhang Biwu scolded: "Confused! Huang Qi kept silent.
Zhang Biwu explained: "If we use troops, won't we give the truth - are we not loyal to the imperial court?" With the 2,000 Lian Yong and more than 400 soldiers I have just recruited, how useful do you think it can be? The court won't take us seriously! Kill if you want! If there are heavy soldiers, such as Zuo Liangyu and other famous general soldiers, the court will not dare to move! So we must be loyal to the court! You must escape the constant framing of traitors! ”
Huang Qi nodded understandingly, so he went to pack his things and went to Shaanzhou with Zhang Biwu.
Many soldiers in Shaanzhou City are mobilizing, these soldiers are Shaanxi soldiers, it is said that Shaanzhou is under the control of Henan Province, why are there Shaanxi soldiers? This was because Jiang Fei asked Hong Chengchou to send a letter to Zheng Chongjian, who succeeded him as the governor of the trilateral region, and asked him to send 1,000 men to Shaanzhou for Cai Tu's use.
Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but sell this face, and he received a letter from Gao Qiqian, he knew that once it was related to the Middle Palace, he had to obey more.
The whole city of Shaanzhou is rumored, as if preparing for a big war, the people in the city are panicked, I don't know if this new Zhizhou arrived, why did it make it like a war?
When Zhang Biwu and Huang arrived in Shaanzhou City, Zhang Biwu looked up at Shaanzhou City, which seemed to be very calm, but they all revealed a sense of slaughter. At the city gate, Tongzhi and Tongju came to greet him, but Cai Tu of Zhizhou did not come in person.
Zhang Biwu clamped the war horse and shouted: "Drive!" "Drive the horse. Huang Qi followed Zhang Biwu in. Tongzhi stepped forward and said, "General Zhang, please come in!" ”
Zhang Biwu saw that Tongzhi and Tongju were smiling and not smiling, and knew that they harbored evil intentions, but Zhang Biwu didn't say much, and he and Huang Qi went straight into the city. As soon as Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi entered the urn city, the city gate was immediately closed.
Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi were not panicked, Zhang Biwu looked around the city, and he saw that there were archers hiding on the city.
Zhang Biwu just smiled, he didn't say much, and he was about to enter the city through the urn city. In the city, Cai Tu smiled and waited for them. As soon as Zhang Biwu and the others came in, an officer immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "Dismount!" ”
Zhang Biwu looked at him as a thousand presidents, he sneered, "snapped", and a horse whip hit him in the face, saying, "Can you be disrespectful to this general?" When Ben was going to fight the Tartars, you didn't know which woman you were fighting with! What are you making in front of me! "Zhang Biwu just wants to take the lead, if he shows weakness, he and Huang Qi will be in danger.
This Qian Zong was beaten back, and he didn't dare to go against Zhang Biwu, because he had also heard of Zhang Biwu's heroic deeds. He shrank to the side.
The other soldiers who came up saw that Mr. Qian had retreated, how could they come up again? They also retreated one after another.
Cai Tu couldn't help but stand up and said, "Look at it! These people are really ignorant! How can you treat a big hero like that? Cai Tupi said with a smile: "Guoxiong, don't blame them!" They just don't teach! Student, this is making amends to you! ”
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Lord Zhizhou, then another day, I will be able to train them all into elite soldiers!" ”
"Hee-hee!" Cai Tu smiled and said, "Guoxiong, you're kidding!" Because the area around Shaanzhou is not peaceful, Governor Zheng gave me a thousand men! I don't dare to give you Governor Zheng's men! Governor Zheng will go back to suppress the thieves! You also know that the thieves are now hovering in the Shangluo area, and the people of Shangzhou are suffering! Most of the officers and soldiers have gathered in the Shangluo area! ”
Zhang Biwu clenched his fists and said, "Ben will know the way!" Ben will not be able to personally lead his soldiers to help Governor Zheng to suppress the thieves! It's just that I hate me and have 500 soldiers, and if I leave, then the emperor will lose the land of three counties! Alas! That's why you can't go and beg for thieves! ”
Cai Tu sneered and said, "Really? Kunixiong, if I had brought one of them, you wouldn't have said that! When you were in Shangzhou, you and this person were ...... Hey! Cai Tu was constantly sneering, looking like a villain.
He asked his cronies around him [Note] Wu Zhirong Don't look at him as young, he is only twenty years old, but this person is extremely good at studying and is deeply loved by Cai Tu.
[Note]: Wu Zhirong was a famous corrupt official in the early Qing Dynasty, and he was appointed to Anzhi County in the seventh year of Shunzhi. After Wu Zhirong sued for the invention of the history case, he died of a cold fever attack, and people said that he was killed by a thunderbolt. In my novel he appeared.
Wu Zhirong got a look from Cai Tu, he completely understood, he just shouted and let Zhao Dayong be escorted out! Sure enough, Zhao Dayong was caught! Zhao Dayong put on shackles and handcuffs, and he shouted: "What are you doing! Why arrest me! ”
Cai Tu looked at Zhang Biwu, and he shouted in his heart: "Zhang Biwu, pounce on him!" As long as you pounce and kill Zhao Dayong, then everything will be clear! Your guilt is conclusive! ”
As soon as Zhang Biwu saw Zhao Dayong, he understood, it was really bad! It's just that Cai Tu, a bastard and corrupt official who almost killed himself and Zhao Dayong in Shangzhou, has now come to Shaanzhou right under his nose, and this dangerous situation has been staged! But he got the help of Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian again, and he couldn't kill him if he wanted to.
Zhang Biwu's mind was spinning rapidly, he was thinking about how to get through the difficulty, when he came, he had already figured it out, in case Zhao Dayong was caught by Cai Tu, then how to get through the difficulty?
At this moment, the hurried footsteps of "Bang Bang" sounded, and a large group of soldiers hurriedly formed a human wall in front of Cai Tu, with shields erected on the ground, and every soldier was waiting for him. The Shaanxi soldiers were very elite troops in the Ming army at that time, because they often participated in the suppression of the rebel army, and most of them were battle-hardened soldiers.
Cai Tu knew Zhang Biwu's bravery, he didn't want to take the danger himself, so he ordered the soldiers to protect himself in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, archers and bird-bearers also appeared, as well as soldiers armed with spears and spears, and there were many of them.
Cai Tu shouted, pointed at Zhang Biwu with a fan, and yelled: "Zhang Biwu, you seduce and rebel, and want to sacrifice the three counties, don't think that this official doesn't understand!" This official was ordered by the emperor to be transferred from Shangzhou to Shaanzhou, just to beware of you, the wolf! Look at who this person is, it is the thief Zhao Dayong who was going to be beheaded in Shangzhou with you before! ”
"Let go of me! It has nothing to do with General Zhang! Zhao Dayong burst into tears in his eyes, he had dragged Zhang Biwu so much that he almost lost his life, he thought he could repay Zhang Biwu, but he didn't expect that he was dragging Zhang Biwu down now, Zhao Dayong was extremely guilty.
Zhang Biwu laughed and said: "At the beginning, the general was originally the general manager of Datong Town, and when he rushed to the aid of the capital, he broke the Qing royal family's Zhai Sangwu, Fei Yangwu, and the name of my Ming army!" I went to Shangzhou on business but was framed as a murderer, and I had to kill Ben Jiang! Fortunately, God opened his eyes, and Ben will not die, otherwise how can Ben Jiang have the glory he has today? ”
