Chapter 849: Chu Dudu with his fangs exposed
In the Great Song Dynasty, although there are many people who can be called county kings, there are not many of them, and most of the county kings are royal relatives.
But if there are people in the Great Song royal family who can lead troops to fight, to be honest, Wu Meng doesn't believe it.
Therefore, Wu Meng was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard the title of the king of Guangyang County, of course, with Wu Meng's level, he still had some knowledge of some movements in the court.
Thanks to Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others, Chu Yi's reputation is not very good in this world, but Cai Jing and others have also helped Chu Yi become famous, at least if Chu Yi's name is mentioned in the officialdom, Chu Yi's origin can still be remembered somewhat.
Just like Wu Meng, when he suddenly heard the title of the king of Guangyang County, he naturally couldn't remember which one was the king of Guangyang County for a while, but because of Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others, some things about Chu Yi came to Wu Meng's ears.
That's why Wu Meng remembered that the king of Guangyang County was Chu Yi's name after pondering.
With his eyes shrinking, Wu Meng looked at Chu Yi under the handsome banner, with a look of disbelief on his face.
In Wu Meng's impression, the legendary murderous traitor Chu Yi should be a white-faced and beardless eunuch, but looking at Chu Yi at this moment, Wu Meng couldn't connect him with those eunuchs.
Between the turns of his mind, Wu Meng was non-stop, and when he was dozens of zhang away, he turned over and dismounted, walked forward with a solemn expression, and saluted Chu Yi and said: "Jiaxing commander Wu Meng paid a visit to the king of Guangyang County. ”
Chu Yi glanced at Wu Meng, saying that along the way, there was not only one county town where the army came, and there were many cities surrounded by Manichaean rebels, and there were more than a dozen chaotic troops broken by his army, but none of the guards in those counties had the courage to kill out of the city.
Only the bloodied Wu Meng in front of him actually brought the people in the city to kill, and this alone made Chu Yi look at him.
Stretching out his hand, a vigorous force helped Wu Meng up, Wu Meng is also a powerhouse at the level of a great grandmaster, how can he not feel that Chu Yi's cultivation revealed in that flick is as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss.
The heart became more and more frightened, and his face became more and more respectful, and he stood in front of Chu Yi with his head bowed.
Chu Yi looked at Wu Meng and said: "Commander Wu, what is the situation in Jiaxing City at the moment, I expect that there will be a commander in charge, and the city should be worry-free." ”
Wu Meng showed a little hesitation on his face, but he suddenly bowed down to Chu Yi and said: "Please also ask the king of the county to administer justice for the generals and soldiers of our army, otherwise I am afraid that there will be chaos among the generals......"
With a narrowing of his eyes, Chu Yi couldn't help but show a little surprise, Wu Meng was definitely a good general, at least in Chu Yi's opinion, among the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, there were few forbidden troops that could be comparable to this one under Wu Meng.
Although the order and prohibition seem simple, it is not so easy to do this, but if you can do this, you may not become a famous general, but it is still no problem to be a good general.
And Wu Meng just has the qualifications of a good general, looking at Wu Meng's angry appearance at this moment, Chu Yi nodded slowly and said: "Commander Wu may as well say it bluntly if he has anything to say." ”
Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi on the side also looked at Wu Meng curiously. Being able to make a general like Wu Meng say that there might be chaos in his army is obviously not nonsense.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Meng explained in detail how Chen Zu was greedy for money and how to anger the officers and soldiers in the army.
Listening to Wu Meng's narration, Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, but Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi and others on the side showed stunned looks, obviously they didn't expect that there would be such a greedy person in this world.
If you really don't even want your life, you also want money, so Chen Zu is really not afraid that he will be greedy for those promised bounties and lose the morale of the army and then the city will be destroyed?
"Wonderful, really wonderful, there are still such greedy people in this world?"
Yang Zhi's face was amazed and disdainful.
Lu Junyi slowly shook his head and said, "Greed is so rare, it is rare in the world. ”
Even Hua Rong and Xu Ning also sighed.
Wu Meng kowtowed and said, "I also ask the king of the county to administer justice for our soldiers." ”
But if it is possible, Wu Meng will never bow his head to an internal servant, but Wu Meng has no other way, the backer behind Chen Zu is the traitorous minister Cai Jing, he is just a small commander, Cai Jing can decide his life and death with a word.
That is to say, relying on his words alone, don't even think about asking for the compensation money that those subordinates who died in battle, as a good general, Wu Meng felt guilty in his heart, not to mention that the situation in the army was already very tense, he could suppress it for a while, but he couldn't suppress it, and it didn't know when it would break out.
As long as he can ask for the compensation that his soldiers deserve, even if he bows his head to Chu Yi, even if Chu Yi is unbearable, can he still compare to Chen Zu and Cai Jing?
When the rebels outside the city were being chased and killed by the vanguard army under Chu Yi, Chen Zu in Jiaxing City also got the news.
The changes outside the city naturally can't escape Chen Zu's attention, after all, this is a major matter related to his own life and death, Chen Zu has sent most of the servants in the mansion to keep an eye on the movements outside the city.
In addition, Wu Meng led the soldiers and horses in the city out of Jiaxing City, it can be said that half of Jiaxing City has noticed it, if Chen Zu can't get the news, then he won't be able to sit firmly in the position of Jiaxing County.
At this moment, in the county government, Chen Zu looked at his subordinates Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan is Chen Zu's brother, and can be said to be Chen Zu's henchman, and Chen Xuan is in charge of the county's soldiers and horses, and is Chen Zu's minion.
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zu and said: "Brother, the origin of the officials and soldiers outside the city is already clear, it is the king of Guangyang County who has lost his holy grace, the lord of Dongchang, Chu Yi. ”
Chen Zu's eyes narrowed, and he said in surprise: "Chu Yi, the king of Guangyang County, turned out to be him." ”
I can hear that Chen Zu did not have the slightest respect in his words, but with a little disdain and contempt, as a scholar, it is not uncommon for Chu Yi to look down on Chu Yi, who was born in the chamberlain, not to mention that he is Cai Jing's family, and it is a well-known thing that Cai Jing and Chu Yi do not deal with, so Chen Zu has no good impression of Chu Yi even more.
After the follow-up, Chen Zu glanced at Chen Xuan and said: "What is going on with Wu Meng, he is so bold, who gave him the courage to dare to go out of the city, if he loses Jiaxing City, he has a few heads enough to cut off, give the county an order to him, let him go back to Jiaxing City, without the order of this county, no soldier is allowed to go out of Jiaxing City for half a step." ”
You must know that Wu Meng's rank is not as low as Chen Zu, the two of them are not subordinate to each other, but Chen Zu's tone is clearly that he is generally unceremonious as Wu Meng's boss.
If this is placed in other eras, it will definitely make people feel extremely strange, but in the Great Song Dynasty, it was simply the norm for civil officials to call and drink to military generals, and if it was when Wenchen spoke softly to military generals, it would be a strange thing.
Chen Xuan suddenly said: "Brother, what should the imperial army outside the city do, if they want to enter the city......
Chen Zu said without hesitation: "Close the city gate, don't allow a single soldier to enter the city, tell that Chu Yi, just say that I don't welcome him in Jiaxing City." ”
As the lord of a county, if he refuses to open the city, to be honest, there is really no reason for the army outside the city to enter the city, otherwise, it will be a rebellion.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Zu is so tough, but under normal circumstances, although he is a magistrate, he rarely offends a general who has just been relieved of the siege for himself so unceremoniously, and even brings grain and grass to eat and go out of the city to reward a soldier.
Obviously, it was impossible for Chen Zu to send grain and grass to Chu Yi to eat.
When the outside of the city gradually calmed down, those rebels fled, those who were killed were killed, and those who were captured were captured, but peace was restored, and at this time, a team of people came out of the city, led by Chen Xuan.
In a temporary camp, Chu Yi was preparing to send people into the city to prepare grain, grass and water in the city, after all, along the way, the grain and grass they carried could last for a few days, but the water was more important than the grain and grass, and it was necessary to be supplied by the city.
While they were discussing, the voice of Xu Ning, who was in charge of patrolling the camp, came from outside the account: "The king of the county, the last general Xu Ning asks to see you." ”
With Chu Yi's permission, Xu Ning walked into the camp in a military uniform, saluted Chu Yi, and then said, "The king of the county, someone from the city came to see Wu Meng." ”
Because Wu Meng's men and horses were not the same as Chu Yi's men, after the rebels were pacified, the two sides naturally camped separately, so Wu Meng did not stay with Chu Yi.
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Wu Meng was originally a Jiaxing guard, and it is reasonable for someone from the city to go to see him first." ”
Yang Zhi on the side spoke: "The king of the county, the matter of grain, grass and water needed in the army, why don't you go into the city with the people from the city?" ”
Yang Zhi was born in a family of Jiangmen, and he is better than Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others, and he has been taking care of the East Factory for Chu Yi all these years, but his ability in interpersonal communication has been exercised, so among these people present, only Yang Zhi is the most suitable candidate.
Glancing at Yang Zhi, Chu Yi nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Yang Zhi, you can go on a walk." ”
Yang Zhi took the order and left, and it didn't take long for him to leave the camp, and he happened to meet Wu Meng with an angry face.
When he saw Wu Meng, Yang Zhi said to Wu Meng: "Commander Wu makes this ......"
Seeing Yang Zhi, the anger on Wu Meng's face narrowed a little, and with a somewhat bitter smile on his face, he arched his hand at Yang Zhi and said, "It turned out to be Yang Zhi's envoy, but it made Yang Zhi's envoy smile." ”
Seeing the puzzled look on Yang Zhi's face, Wu Meng sighed lightly and explained: "Just now someone came from the city, Chen Zu, the magistrate of the county, sent his henchman Chen Xuan to come and ordered me to return to the city immediately. ”
Yang Zhi then understood, nodded slightly and said: "I see, I don't know where the people from the city are at this time, Yang was ordered by the king of the county to go to the city and ask the county order to prepare grain, grass, and water for the army......"
Wu Meng shook his head and said: "Yang Zhi is afraid that he will be disappointed, just now that Chen Xuan said, let me guard the city gate, not let a single soldier enter the city, now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is specially aimed at the people under the county king." ”
Yang Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said angrily: "What a Chen Zu, he dares to treat me so slowly, Yang wants to see that Chen Zu and ask him face to face......
Wu Meng couldn't stop him, sighed and went to say goodbye to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi in the camp looked at Wu Meng, Wu Meng was all the same, Chu Yi understood what was going on, and couldn't help but show a little smile in his eyes, he really didn't expect that every county order would dare to be so rude, is this really when he can't kill people?
Chu Yi slowly got up and said: "Chu really wants to go to Jiaxing City for a while, and ask that Chen Zu, what can he do if he enters the city." ”
Saying that, Chu Yi looked at Wu Meng, who raised his head, and said with a smile: "Commander Wu dares to follow Chu to see that Chen Zu, so as to help the commander ask for the compensation that the generals and soldiers in the army deserve." ”
Wu Meng's heart was hot, and he immediately raised his head and said, "The last general is willing." ”
At the city gate, Yang Zhi was scolding at the city wall at the moment, but on the city wall, Chen Xuan was already in control of the situation, and with Chen Xuan's fierce name, there were really few soldiers in the city who dared to act without obeying his orders.
Chen Xuan looked at Yang Zhi below and sneered: "Yang Zhi, after reading that you are Yang Gate, Chen will let you live today, otherwise, the crime of storming the city gate will definitely shoot you on the spot." ”
Yang Zhi was angry, he didn't expect that he would have such a big courage, you must know that he Yang Zhi is among the Beijing Divisions, and that is also a famous existence, I don't know how many high-ranking officials mention his name and change color, for fear that Dongchang will come to the door.
Whether it is his name as the head of the Dongchang stall or the name after the Yang Gate, which is enough to suppress Chen Xuan, he never thought that the other party would be so rude.
Just when Yang Zhi wanted to jump onto the city wall and slap Chen Xuan to death, a voice came from behind him: "Yang Zhi." ”
Hearing that voice, Yang Zhi looked back and saw Chu Yi and Wu Meng walking over.
Yang Zhi suddenly said to Chu Yi: "King of the county, that Chen Zu and Chen Xuan are so arrogant that they don't let us enter the city." ”
Chu Yi glanced at the top of the city, and saw Chen Xuan, who was dressed in military uniform, looking at them with a smug expression, as if he was very satisfied with blocking them outside the city.
It seemed that seeing Chu Yi looking at him, Chen Xuan couldn't help but say to Chu Yi: "Listen to the people under the city, the county has an order, the city gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter the city, otherwise it will be punished as colluding with traitors, and there will be no forgiveness." ”
Chu Yi just glanced at Chen Xuan, and suddenly laughed, and said while laughing: "Yang Zhi, the captain of the East Factory, listens to the order." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Yang Zhi reacted and said solemnly: "My subordinates listen to orders." ”
Chu Yi said coldly: "Today, Chen Zu of Jiaxing Zhixian County colluded with the anti-thief Fang La, and the evidence of the crime is true, so he specially ordered Dongchang to be arrested and killed, and warned the latecomers with the law of the country." ”
Chu Yi's voice was neither high nor low, revealing infinite coldness, but on the city wall, Chen Xuan and the others could hear it clearly one by one.
It was precisely when he heard Chu Yi's words clearly that the smug look on Chen Xuan's face froze suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the very different figure below in disbelief.
"The county is loyal to the imperial court, how can you collude with the thief, you ...... Thou art slanderous, and thou shalt add sin to thy sin, and thou hast no excuse ......"
Chen Xuan almost shouted loudly, and shouted at the soldiers around him: "This is slander, slander......"
Once the name of colluding with the thief is detained, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and other crimes are fine, but no one can bear the charge of stealing the family and exterminating the clan.
What made Chen Xuan panic the most was that Chu Yi did not face them with his position in the army at all, but sacrificed his other identity.
Dongchang has the privilege of supervising the world, although this point is a bit unworthy of the name, but if it is really said, if Dongchang is serious, it really has the right to cut first and then play.
