Chapter 305: Doze Meets Pillow
At this time, Niu Wenqing's master also shouted outside the wall: "Owner, why is Niu Gui yelling?" ”
This master's surname is Ma, he is quite responsible, and when he heard Niu Gui shouting, he rushed to the inner house, and hurriedly rushed over to fulfill his responsibilities as a staff.
As soon as he heard that his staff officer had arrived, Niu Wenqing seemed to be angry immediately, and he didn't even care about wearing his outer robe, so he wore a small coat and walked out of the inner house around the wall.
"Sir, do you have a teacher?" Niu Wenqing asked with a salute, but his question also showed that he had messed up.
Master Ma hurriedly returned the salute. But now I don't even know what is going on, so what idea can Master Ma come up with? So Niu Gui, who came out with him, repeated the words of the messenger outside.
After hearing this, Master Ma immediately said, "Without further ado. The proprietor should immediately send someone to inform Ye Gonggong. In fact, this is also their iron ore business, and it has nothing to do with our local area, so adults don't need to panic. Although Gonggong Ye may have gotten the news of the fight a long time ago, the proprietor went to report a letter to sell him a good one, and also left a favor. ”
"The proprietor also needs to send more people to guard the gate of the county and patrol the county road. Although Longtouling is still far away from our county seat, it is also necessary to prevent changes in the situation and prevent small crumbs from taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”
As soon as these two targeted ideas came out, Niu Wenqing immediately put his mind at ease. He immediately regained his demeanor, and ordered with great authority: "Someone! Do what Master Ma says. ”
"Yes!" Niu Gui immediately bowed down and replied. Then I wanted to run out and arrange it.
"Wait!" Master Ma immediately stopped Niu Gui, "Bring the official robe to the lord first." ”
Niu Wenqing found out that he was still wearing a small coat. If you go to see your subordinates with such a disheveled appearance, then the face of the county will be lost. Although Niu Wenqing was still very grateful to Master Ma for the reminder in his heart. But after all, he was inevitably a little embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times to cover it up.
After Master Ma arranged in an orderly manner, Niu Wenqing also sat down in the lobby and relaxed. But after half an hour, another person ran in at the gate of the yamen, and he also shouted: "My lord! Oh no! ”
Niu Wenqing's heart suddenly rose again, and when he looked closely, it was a servant in the yamen who came in.
"What's going on?" Niu Wenqing hurriedly asked.
But the servant fell to his knees, panting and speechless for a while. The head of the official team on the side immediately ran over and kicked a few times. Angrily said, "My lord asked you something!" What's the. Hurry up and release it. ”
Finally, when the official stabilized his mood, he said, "My lord, the little one is helping to guard the east gate." In the distance of the east gate came an army, coming in the direction of the county seat. ”
"Great!" "Close the gates!" Niu Wenqing and Master Ma said two completely opposite words at the same time. This situation made everyone in the lobby stunned.
Niu Wenqing knew that the official army near here must be the army guarding Li Lu. As long as they enter the county to help with the defense. No matter what danger there is, there is this army to stand up. Then the safety of the county and yourself is guaranteed.
But his staff member Master Ma expressed the opposite opinion, which must also be reasonable. So at this time, Niu Wenqing couldn't care about his own face, and he immediately asked shamelessly, "Why did Mr. say that?" ”
Master Ma immediately saluted and said, "Proprietor, this army has entered the city like a rat entering a porcelain shop. It's going to make the chickens and dogs restless. The proprietor must think about the people under his rule! ”
"That's right! Right! Right! Niu Wenqing reacted suddenly, the sentence "A thief is like a comb, a soldier is like a grate, and an official is like a shaving". Niu Wenqing had heard it many times before.
Although this zuihou seemed to reflect himself, Niu Wenqing immediately ordered: "Go and close the city gate." The official also went to the upper floor of the East Gate Castle with his husband and colleagues to have a look. ”
This army was none other than the Nanyang battalion led by Hefei and Zug. Today, Shumo led 300 people to defend the camp, and He Fei and Zuge led more than 700 soldiers (1,500 soldiers in the Nanyang battalion, because the mobile battalion was not full, so it was not enough) was about to bypass the county seat of Yexian and go to Longtouling, where the two sides were fighting.
However, when the Nanyang camp approached the county seat of Ye County, they were surprised to find that Ye County seemed to be facing a great enemy, and they closed the city gate without hesitation. And the city is upstairs. I also saw a group of people standing there monitoring the Nanyang battalion's every move.
"What are the people of Ye County doing? We don't go into the city, what are they doing with the appearance of a great enemy? A pro-soldier said puffing on the side. I look confused.
However, the words of this pro-soldier immediately reminded Hefei and Zug. Both of them were people who had followed Wu Shigong north. I know the reason why the local government is guarding against the official army. Therefore, the two of them glanced at each other, and immediately ordered happily: "The whole army is heading for the county seat of Yexian." ”
Since everyone in this Ye County is afraid that the Nanyang camp will enter the city, then the Nanyang camp will instead make the appearance of entering the city. It's not really to enter the city, the main purpose is to extort some benefits from Ye County.
Seeing that the Nanyang camp was getting closer and closer, the people on the city tower became more and more nervous. It wasn't until the Nanyang camp drove to a stop by the trench outside the east gate that the Yexian County Commander Niu Wenqing on the city tower temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no way, as the magistrate of Ye County, Niu Wenqing still has to ask first: "General under the city, what are you doing in Ye County?" ”
At this time, Hefei and Zug were very polite. Both of them jumped off their horses, and He Fei saluted Niu Wenqing and said, "Lord Zhixian, I learned that there were people in Ye County who were in rebellion, and on the order of our Li Garrison, the villain led the army to come to Ye County to rescue. Please open the gates of the city and let the brothers into the city. ”
He Fei did not hesitate to lie and sell their boss, Li Lu. Anyway, the boss is used to sell. Besides, Li Lu is not the real boss of the Nanyang camp, so He Fei does not have a little psychological burden to sell him.
Although all the people on the city tower didn't know that Weishenme Li Lu got the news of the miner's weapon fight so quickly, the reason He Fei said was really reasonable, so the people on the city tower also believed He Fei's words.
However, it was definitely impossible to let He Fei and their Nanyang camp enter the city, or Niu Wenqing opened his mouth and politely refused: "This general is mistaken." There was a county guard in the county, and there was no turmoil. The place where the people are in turmoil should be in Longtouling, so please ask the general to leave as soon as possible. ”
He Fei gave Zug a look, and Zug immediately understood, he straightened up and shouted, "What is this going on?" Which of the eight lambs got this false news and made us run desperately for more than 20 miles? Go back and peel off his skin. What do we have to do with the bitter haha in the poor ravine? Lord Zhixian. We've been running for a long time. Let us go into the city and drink hot soup, and let our brothers have a good rest before going back! ”
"That's it! It is! Open the gates! ”
"If we don't open the city gate again, we're going to hit the door!"
……
A group of pro-soldiers who had already been ordered by He Fei and Zug also coaxed on the side.
But the officials of Ye County on the upper floor of the city didn't know that He Fei was making a show! They thought: If this group of Qiu Bawan makes trouble, then at least they will suffer in front of them. Although Yexian also has a city wall, there are no defensive soldiers on the city wall. In case the group of Qiu Ba under the city tower climbed the city wall regardless of it, it was not necessary that Niu Wenqi would come to stop them, the officials of Ye County!
Niu Wenqing also sweated on his forehead at this time, and he immediately shouted: "Hugh is reckless!" Now that the strong men have come to the county seat, the county guarantees that the strong men will eat and drink well. But this general. The county seat is indeed too small to accommodate so many strong men to enter, so please restrain and bear with me! ”
"Don't make a fuss! Don't make a fuss! He Fei immediately blushed. He then smiled and saluted Niu Wenqing, "But my lord, the sons are indeed tired and hungry, so please ask for a reward." ”
Seeing the general in front of him, he still knows each other very well. Niu Wenqing also put his mind at ease, and he turned around to arrange meals. But before Niu Wenqing could speak, Master Ma beside him grabbed him and whispered: "Proprietor, what Qiu Ba said is a reward, not really to eat!" ”
"They're asking for a reward!" The master on the side also added.
Niu Wenqing also understood at once. It turns out that these Qiu Ba are asking for silver. So Niu Wenqing said on the spot: "There are many people in the city, and the county is not willing to harass the people. Give the general ten pairs of pigs and sheep, and ten jars of wine. ”
Hefei and Zug immediately smiled. They immediately saluted again and said, "My lord really loves the people like sons!" "Make a show. You can get this unexpected benefit. He Fei and Zug didn't mind patting the ass of the magistrate in front of them.
But the matter is not over yet, Niu Wenqing continued: "This county will give another three hundred taels of silver to the strong men under the city." I wonder if you are willing to go to Longtouling to quell the civil rebellion? ”
These words made He Fei and Zug stunned for a moment, didn't this drowsiness meet the pillow? Is there such a good thing? The two of them tried their best to hold back a laugh, bent down deeply and saluted, "Obey the orders of the adults!" ”
So He Fei left a hundred soldiers to receive the rewards. The rest of the soldiers immediately set off for Longtou Ridge. Hefei: They have to hurry! They were afraid that they would really be unable to hold back their laughter after staying.
After He Fei and the others left, Master Ma also patted the horse in a low voice and said, "The proprietor is really wise. It didn't cost the fruit, so he let the group of Qiu Ba work hard, and also made friends with Ye Gonggong. That's a lot to count! ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense! This county is also sympathetic to the people of Longtouling, and does not want them to have more casualties, and it has nothing to do with the eunuch party. ”
Of course, Master Ma knew that Niu Wenqing and these civil officials were unwilling to pull themselves too close to the eunuchs in the eyes of outsiders, so he continued to compliment: "Students are the heart of villains. However, the proprietor only made a slight trick to attract the group of officers and soldiers to be willing to die. The proprietor really has the style of a general! ”
"Haha!" Niu Wenqing couldn't hold back his smug laughter any longer. In fact, Master Ma was not wrong, Niu Wenqing was willing to spend an extra three hundred taels of silver to let He Fei and them rush to Longtouling, just to befriend Gonggong Ye. Besides, those rewards will also be collected by the gentry in the city, and don't spend Niu Wenqing's own silver, so what else does he feel sorry for? (To be continued......)
