There were a lot of people gathered here, and there were already signs of stampede, and the people moved forward, and none of them looked back, and naturally they did not find that many soldiers in the city had come behind them, and they were still huddled together, arguing non-stop, and clamoring to open the city gate.

The original city gate guards thought that they had Wu Yi's order and could not disobey it, but the current scene was obviously beyond the control of the twenty of them, so they could only block the city gate in vain, shouting and shouting, but it was useless.

At this moment, I heard a person shouting in the air: "Where did the rebels come out!" Don't make trouble! Come back and be careful to catch you all! ”

But it was a yamen official who came to lead the troops.

This man's voice is not small, but there are so many people here that there is so much noise that almost no one has the leisure time to listen to his nonsense.

Gu Yanzhang listened to his accent, and only felt that he was not a native of Yongzhou, but it seemed to be the taste of Minzhou, so he turned his head to look at the pawn who came over to answer and asked, "Who is this?" ”

The pawn has been guarding the city gate for many years, and he has also practiced a little eyesight, one look at the official uniform, two look at the people, three look at the horse, just did not come back to his senses, at this time he was relieved, the tears have not dried, and the ability that Xiang Ri has practiced automatically and spontaneously returned, and hurriedly replied: "It is Wu Putou of Yongzhou Prefecture!" Take care of the shops on these streets! ”

After thinking about it, without waiting for Gu Yanzhang to ask again, he added another sentence and said, "It's a new appointment, and I only arrived half a year ago!" ”

Guangnan West Road also produces horses, but the number is very small, most of them are mountainous here, especially in Guizhou, Yongzhou and other places, the hills are shrugged one by one, when marching along the Li River, Gu Yanzhang did not see the green mountains on both sides of the river.

The mountains here are different from the big mountains and hills in other places, they are all low mountains, the scenery is extremely beautiful, the peaks are different, the mountains are densely covered with jungles, the clouds and mist are shrouded, even in winter, the leaves do not fall, neither yellow, nor red, all are a piece of fat and thick green, lined with clear water, especially beautiful.

It's just that it's good-looking, but there is no big road on the mountain, and most of them are mountain trails and paths stepped out by the feet of the locals, which is very inconvenient to walk.

Under such conditions, the high-headed horses are naturally not easy to walk, and they are mostly short horses in Guangnan, mostly bought from Yunnan, and later gradually raised some by themselves, and there is also some climate.

Especially in Guizhou, there has always been the habit of eating horse meat, a kind of fresh rice noodles of local specialties, the powder is delicate and soft, which adds horse meat, dry and mixes up, add some brine, sour bamboo shoots, sour radish, beans, and then a few fried peanuts and spicy ginger, shallots, rice noodles are white and raw, embellished with heavy yellow, emerald green and other colors, so that people have a great appetite at first sight, and horse meat is added to it, which is more fragrant and tougher than the rest of the meat, aside from the high price, there is nothing wrong with the side of it.

This kind of rice noodles are eaten by the locals as cooks, and although the outsiders are passing by, they also love to taste it, and it is very ubiquitous, and the consumption is very great.

For the sake of these messes, the people of Yongzhou often raised horses and sold them to Guizhou in order to make profits.

It's just that most of these horses have a gentle temperament and are short in stature, and in addition to being used to carry things, they can only ride on mountain roads on weekdays, and if they want to march and fight, they are really not very useful.

In Yongzhou City, even if it is a large family, at most it is to ride a Yunnan horse, only a few high-ranking officials and nobles in the state can have one or two Hexi and Dawan horses, Gu Yanzhang's crotch is a big horse specially selected from the army, not to mention the physique, tall and strong, with shiny fur, and full of spirit, he grabbed the reins and stopped in the local area, very arrogant, holding his head high, and he didn't even bother to call the pawn a snort.

Seeing this horse, the pawn knew that this person in front of him was not an ordinary official, and when he replied, he was naturally more cautious and attentive.

Gu Yanzhang sat on the horse, first heard the word "Wu", and then remembered the other party's accent, which was already clear to him.

Wu Yi and Wu Zhizhou are from Minzhou.

I heard that he brought many family members and staff over, and he always had to arrange errands, and the one who wanted to come and speak was one of them.

Just when the two of them asked and answered, Wu Putou shouted a few more times, but still no one answered, obviously very annoyed, and when he gave an order, he said to the soldiers behind him: "These chaotic people are simply lawless!" Go up and take it all off my head! ”

He brought with him hundreds of men, all armed with wooden spears, the heads of which were not finely cast, but they were also made of iron, sharpened and sharpened, and they might not be of great use against the enemy, but they could be used against the unarmed people in front of them, but there was no hindrance.

Since Yang Kui pacified Jiaozhi, Yongzhou has been stable for many years, and the soldiers guarding the city have not experienced any trouble, and they are a little helpless when they encounter these nearly 1,000 people. A group of soldiers rushed forward, first scrupling a few points, and when they were crowded in one place, they were in a hurry, so they couldn't care anymore, and began to mess with the guns and sticks.

Because the city defenders can draw some water from the people entering the city, relatively speaking, it can be regarded as a fat shortage, and they do not use a little strength secretly, and they can't do it normally, these soldiers are less trained than the state soldiers who have been formed, and they are naturally more disproportionate, and not long after they surrounded it, the people were beaten and bloodied, not only the chaos was not controlled, but it became more and more chaotic.

At this time, all kinds of cries and howls shook the sky, and the thieves had not yet come, and there was already a bit of a tragic battle.

That Wu Putou is a literati and a newcomer, where has he encountered such a scene, it seems that as soon as the hundreds of people in his own house go forward, as soon as the wooden gun is lit, the people will bow their heads and ears, and honestly tie their hands and arrest them, not to mention that they don't want everyone to resist, and they will make a mess.

He was alone far behind, sitting on his horse, not knowing how to stop him, but his face showed a little panic, and he was stunned.

The city gate is under the jurisdiction of the state government, and it has nothing to do with the counterinsurgency, Gu Yanzhang is inconvenient to interfere, so he has been standing aside with Wang Miyuan and others, and at most he has sent his entourage out to pull some old people and young children.

He knew that if he dragged it any longer, he didn't know what would happen, so he turned his head and ordered the soldier who was standing under his head and did not dare to move: "What is your name?" ”

The soldier was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The little one's surname is Du, his name is Du Erzhong, the second of 'one, two, three, four', and the loyalty of 'loyalty' are the city gate soldiers at the east gate of Yongwu Road!" ”

Although he didn't know if the official in front of him had taken a fancy to him, but he had the opportunity in front of him, but he must not give up, so he said it quickly and carefully, and opened his own name, for fear that the other party would remember it wrongly, and he would also move out and say it again after listening to the old Xiucai who had helped explain it.

Gu Yanzhang didn't think so much, he saw that this person's voice was loud and loud, so he said, "Du Erzhong, come here." ”

He turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly gave a few words to the pawn.
