Chapter Ninety-Three: The City of Fraud

On October 10, when the sky had just been polished, a crack was opened at the north gate of Jiezhou City, and a group of heavily armed Houzhou soldiers rushed out, enclosing an arc-shaped circle at the city gate, first escorting a group of hard laborers who transported garbage in the city out of the city, and then began to inspect the villagers who were delivering vegetables, firewood, and water one by one.

Many of the refugees who had already surrounded the city immediately rushed to the front of the soldiers, begging them to let them into the city. A woman desperately squeezed out of the crowd, pushed a teenage girl in front of a capital head, knelt down suddenly, and cried: "Master Jun, please!" I heard that the barbarian soldiers on horseback in the north are too brutal and inhumane, so you can let me and the children into the city. ”

During this period of time, the news that the Khitan and Northern Han allied forces had entered and besieged Jinzhou spread far and wide, and the people around Jinzhou had to leave their hometowns again and fled to Luzhou, Huaizhou, Jiezhou and other places in the rear.

However, the surrounding cities were completely frightened by the influx of refugees that had just passed.

At that time, more than 100,000 refugees from Jinju and Cijang were flooding east and south like floodplains, and the vast majority of them who did not want to leave their homeland were suffering in the nearby states. Because Emperor Guo Wei had issued a strict order that no one was allowed to starve to death, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these refugees naturally had to be raised by the states themselves, and the relief for half a year had already overwhelmed these states. Now, these refugees have finally been sent back to their original places, and even more war has resumed, and the first reaction of various places is to close the city gates and prevent the refugees from entering the city!

It is conceivable that in the past ten days, more and more people have gathered outside the city gates, hoping to enter the city and escape the scourge of war, but without exception they have been shut out by the merciless gates.

The head of the capital couldn't bear it, and turned his head slightly, not looking at the tearful mother and daughter.

The woman couldn't cry silently, and pulled the little girl to kowtow repeatedly. When the other people saw it, they also knelt down and pleaded, and the scene was full of crying.

The man closed his eyes and bowed his head silently. It's not that they are hard-hearted, the officials in the city have explained, there is not much food in the city, if the city is surrounded by enemy troops, the whole city will not last long, and everyone will be dead at that time.

"What are they doing on their knees? Folks, stand up! A loud shout was heard, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and a young man in the crowd with a sad and angry face waved his arms and shouted, "What can they do? The enemies have all been killed, and they can't protect the country or us, so they want to be useless?! ”

The man was ashamed and angry, his face was flushed, and his left hand gripped the handle of the knife tightly, staring at the thin young man.

The young man danced his hands in the air and shouted louder and louder: "I have a cousin who came from Hexi yesterday to tell me and persuade me to go to Cizhou!" He said that some people in the three states of Hanoi have now come forward to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, and the tenant farmers have become the owners of the land, and the land has been distributed to the poor, and the houses of those landlords and old wealth have also been distributed to the homeless, and the money has been distributed to everyone. ”

"How can there be such a good thing in the world? You didn't wake up from a dream, did you? Another stout-looking young man stood up from the ground and questioned loudly.

"We are all the people of the Great Zhou, when we pay taxes and rents, the officials immediately think of us, but when we need protection, we can't find them, and we won't even let them in! What the fuck is this? The young man trembled with anger and continued to yell. Many people on the ground slowly stood up, and almost every morning everyone would kneel again, and they couldn't impress the soldiers who took turns to go out of the city, so why bother to lose this face again.

"You're right. But who can guarantee that you are not lying to us? The land of the three states of Hexi has been divided several times, and it is impossible to distribute it to us people now? The young man who objected continued to question loudly.

"My cousin told me not to tell outsiders, but I was so angry today that I told you about it! Everyone knows who is the leader of the division of land in the three states of Hexi? The questioned young man hesitated for a moment before looking around at the crowd, pausing for a moment, and said loudly, "Others can't believe it, but this person must believe it!" Let me tell you, those people are all under the hands of Lord Lin Fenglin of Datang Shouzhou! Lord Lin has always loved the people, and that reputation is well-deserved! ”

"Lin Feng is a good official, everyone in the world knows it! However, Lin Feng is an official of the Tang Dynasty, how could his people run to the three states of Hexi? The stocky young man continued to question loudly.

"You still don't know the way? Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty has always been a good friend of the Tang Dynasty, and he specially invited Lin Feng's subordinates from Shouzhou to come over as war consultants! My cousin's cousin was on an errand in the Zhou army in Jiangzhou, and they spread it all over in private! Now, the people of Sanzhou are waiting for these Shouzhou troops to hit their villages and divide the land and money! The thin young man raised his voice.

"If it's really Lin Feng, it's really possible that this thing is true! Wherever Lord Lin hits, he will implement the rent-free everywhere! Chu, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, and Shouzhou, all like this! Such a good official, why don't you want to be an official with us! The sturdy young man nodded again and again, sighing.

The head of the capital couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted: "That man, get out of the way, if you dare to rumor and confuse the public, you will be arrested and imprisoned immediately!" ”

The thin young man suddenly jumped up, pointed at the head and scolded: "Bastard, you are very good at your own people, you have the ability to fight the Khitan cavalry, bully the soft and fear the hard, you are a ball thing?" ”

Du Tou immediately lost his face, pushed away the crowd and rushed towards the thin young man, and several soldiers immediately rushed there. The frightened crowd immediately flashed out of a passage, and the thin young man pulled a pole from under his feet and danced wildly, looking desperate.

"Fuck, I don't even let people tell the truth, I'm ****!" The sturdy young man also drew a pole and took the lead in slamming it towards the capital, which slammed down with a flickering sound.

The man was startled, his body flashed to the side, and he turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, take these two rebels for me!" ”

A dozen or so soldiers rushed up and went straight to the two men, and when the two saw that the situation was not right, they dragged their flat shoulders and left, and the soldiers immediately chased after them quickly, and they also ran away to outflank them, and the crowd immediately became even more chaotic!

"Folks, rush into the city and we'll be saved!" There was a ** shout in the crowd next to him, pushing the people from behind to rush towards the gap in the circle of soldiers, and those people also reacted, and they all shouted and rushed to the inside of the city.

When the head heard the shouting behind him, he immediately became anxious, turned his head and shouted, "Close the city gate!" Close the gates! "And shouted loudly to the brothers who went out of the city to rush back, and it was a trivial matter to run away from two young men who were talking nonsense, and if the city gate was breached while he was on duty, he would be a capital crime!

It's late! The two young men who rushed to the front suddenly drew their knives, neatly stabbed down the two Zhou soldiers who rushed over, and flashed into the crack of the city gate before the gate was closed.

There was blood in front, but there was a hole in the city gate, and there were soldiers wielding knives in the back, and the people all subconsciously rushed into the city, and the entire city gate immediately became a pot of porridge.

At this moment, Du Tou was pulled by a soldier, and while scolding loudly, he looked north along his arm. In the distance, under a hill, countless horses are galloping this way!

The Khitan cavalry is coming!

This news was like pouring a scoop of oil on the fire, and the soldiers and civilians all rushed towards the city gate, and the city gate was blocked at once!

The man was in a hurry, and he took out his knife again and again, cutting down the two people who bumped into him in a panic, and roared: "Hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

It's also a knife to move forward, and it's still a knife to retreat, so it's better to enter the city! The words of the head of the capital made the scene even more panicked, and they crowded towards the city gate even more desperately.

The soldiers at the head of the city also panicked, and went down to the city gate like crazy to clear the field.

At this time, a thin and strong young man also came around, drew a knife and began to cut those Zhou soldiers, and the scene was even more chaotic.

The thin young man is Yu Chengfeng of Xipo Village, Guanwangmu Township, Jiangzhou, and the strong one is Mao An, a soldier of the Northern Han Dynasty, and all this in front of the door is part of the deception plan designed by Zhufeng.

However, after all, the soldiers at the head of the city were close to the city, and they quickly scattered the people in the gate hole, and successfully controlled the situation in the city gate hole. The soldiers at the head of the city also began to gather and shoot arrows, trying to stop the cavalry that was galloping in.

In the cave of the city gate, the men who had been slashing and killing saw that the situation was not good, and immediately roared, turned around and fled out in the crowd of fleeing people.

In front of the Khitan cavalry rushing to the city gate, the city gate hole was cleaned up, the city gate was slammed shut, and everything that happened at the city gate was quickly reported to Wang Zhengzhong, the assassin of Jiezhou, and the northwest of the Great Zhou were lined up to make Yao Yuanfu's ears.
