Outside the city, after Jing Dapeng was captured by Gong Chang, the blue wolf army at Ximen was very surprised, and under the organization of another commander, the team quickly retreated to Majiaqiao, which was five miles away, and stationed there. Gong Changyu's regimental training armament was composed of peasants, all of whom were thin and small, wearing patched clothes and straw sandals, looking very shabby. Jing Dapeng thought that they were vulnerable, but he knew that after only two or three confrontations, he was captured alive, and he was very unconvinced.

Gong Changyu persuaded him many times, but to no avail, he could only put him in a water prison to make him sober and sober. The dungeon is divided into two levels, the first is a cistern and the second is a cell. After Jing Dapeng entered, a large amount of water was injected, and it was not until his chest that the sluice gate was closed, so Jing Dapeng could not sit, but could only stand. Usually the average person will feel very tired after standing for two hours, and they will have to sit and rest before they can continue to stand, and if they stand for a day in a row, many people will not be able to stand it, and the prisoners who are in the water cell will have to stand all the time, and as soon as they sit down, the water will flood the top of their heads and they will not be able to breathe.

At the beginning, it was filled with clean water, and Jing Dapeng was tired and held his breath for a while, he could sit down, and by the way, he could also wash his hair, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. When Gong Changyu heard that Jing Dapeng was washing his hair inside and singing Peking Opera at the same time, he was very happy, and ordered black sewage to be added to the water, and Jing Dapeng was no longer in Sisdy.

Two days later, due to soaking in the water for a long time, Jing Dapeng's body was swollen, the soles of his feet were rotten, and he finally came to the water due to physical exhaustion, and he shouted for help weakly. Gong Chang was ordered to salvage Jing Dapeng out of the water and lock him in a dry room. Immediately let people inform Jing Zhigang, and when he learned that his son Jing Dapeng had been arrested, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, carrying roast goose and a bottle of Louis XVI, and his wife Tao Dongjiao went to the water prison.

Jing Dapeng was lying on a wooden board in shackles, his face was pale, his eyes were glazed, and he kept trembling, but he still had no idea of surrendering. Seeing Gong Changyu come in with his father and mother, he immediately closed his eyes, held his breath, and pretended to be dying of breath.

Jing Dapeng has been in the Blue Wolf Army for a few months, and he has heard a little about the preferential treatment of prisoners by the Jingnan Army, but this time he was thrown into the water prison by Gong Changyu and locked up, and he was very unhappy, he wanted to use his own fraud to provoke his father's hatred for Gong Changyu, and then divide the "alliance" relationship between Gong Changyu and Jing Zhigang, so that the defense in Wuyou City was chaotic. He was too naïve to think about it, if Gong Changyu was so easy to deal with, Wuyou City would have already been in the pocket of the Blue Wolf Army.

Tao Dongjiao saw Jing Dapeng lying upright on the wooden board, disheveled, his hands and feet were swollen severely, his eyes were closed, and the roast goose in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and he beat his chest and shouted: "Son, why don't you leave your mother alone?" You died a terrible death. Then he knelt on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, slapped the plank, and cried profusely.

"Tao Dongjiao, your son hasn't died yet, why are you crying!" Jing Zhigang said on the side.

As soon as Jing Zhigang said this, Tao Dongjiao immediately stopped crying, and when he looked at Jing Dapeng's snort, he lost his breath, and then cried again: "Peng'er, my mother, I am such a son as you, if you die, I don't want to live......"

Jing Zhigang also squatted down, listened to Jing Dapeng's heart, strange, sure enough, there was no heartbeat, he was also flustered, and grabbed Gong Changyu: "Gong Jichang, you are too vicious, tortured my son to death." This official is such an only son, and now that my Jing family is the last, you don't want to have a good life. ”

Gong Changyu has heard of a turtle breath method since he was a child, and people who know this method hold their breath for half an hour, their hearts do not beat, and they do not breathe, just like a dead person. Obviously, when Jing Dapeng came out of the water prison, he was still fine, and it was absolutely impossible to die so soon. Gong Changyu flicked it lightly, Jing Zhigang went to the side, and then grabbed Jing Zhigang's hand, and punched Jing Dapeng's heart: "Boy, you get up for me, General Ben knows that you are still alive." ”

This punch may not be strong enough, and Jing Dapeng did not get up immediately. Gong Changyu had no choice but to say loudly: "Jing Dapeng, if you pretend to be dead again, I will put you in a coffin and bury you alive!" ”

Jing Dapeng still closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. At this time, he was thinking, as long as there is a blue wolf army that has infiltrated the city, they will come to rescue me at any time, what am I worried about! You put me in a coffin, and the commander can't ask for it.

Tao Dongjiao was still crying vigorously there, which made Jing Zhigang very helpless: "Jing Dapeng, such an unsuccessful son, joined the Blue Wolf Army at this juncture, it was like a slap in the face!" It's all because you're spoiled by habit on weekdays, and now you're going to die or live, and there's a fart! ”

"Jing Zhigang, the son is not good, the father's fault. If your child doesn't learn well, you will shirk your responsibilities. Over the years, you have been busy with official business under the pretext of being busy in Wuyou City, spending every day and drinking, and neglecting to discipline your children. Tao Dongjiao was in tears.

"Husband and child, it's your business. Dapeng doesn't want to study, in the past six or seven years, you have taken him to soak in the teahouse every day, playing mahjong with those broad wives, eating and drinking are there, whether you want Dapeng to pick up soil for you (help play cards), subtly do too well! ......" Jing Zhigang counted Tao Dongjiao.

"I don't have to farm, I don't go to the teahouse to play mahjong, what can I do?" Tao Dongjiao was puffing.

The husband and wife accused each other, but Gong Changyu didn't bother to persuade them, so that they could scold each other.

"People should open roads in the mountains and build bridges when they encounter water. I can't do the thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Gong Changyu walked back and forth in the house, pondering, in just a few months, Jing Dapeng achieved the position of division commander, which shows that there are not many people under Shi Xianda who can fight. The whereabouts of the silver in the palace of the palace are unknown, it must be related to Jing Dapeng, and his mouth must be pried open.

"General Gong, you return my son-" Tao Dongjiao suddenly hit Gong Changyu's body, which really startled him.

"Madam, Jing Dapeng is not dead. General Ben will bring him back to life now. Someone—" Gong Changyu held Tao Dongjiao with both hands and shouted.

"Yes, General. What are the commands? Zhang Weijun answered outside the house and ran in.

"Captain Zhang, you immediately go get some yellow paper and come over with a basin of water. Seal all the places where Jing Dapeng can get angry, I think he still cheats the corpse? Gong Changyu said.

"Yes, General." Zhang Weijun went out, and soon came back with Xiong Wanmin, they wet the prepared yellow paper, kneaded it into small paper balls, and gambled on Jing Dapeng's mouth, nose and ears.

"What are you doing here?" Tao Dongjiao pounced on Jing Dapeng's body.

"Madam, I'm summoning your son's spirit. Please recuse yourself. Gong Chang responded, and Jing Zhigang helped Tao Dongjiao out of the house.

Gong Changyu turned Jing Dapeng over, pulled his pants to the point where he grabbed a large lump of yellow paper and stuffed it between his legs. Then he washed his hands in the basin, clapped his hands and smiled: "Boy, General Ben wants to see how long your Turtle Breath Dafa can last!" ”

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, all the orifices that could breathe were blocked, Jing Dapeng couldn't hold it back, and immediately reached out to take out the yellow paper in his nostrils, spit out the paper ball in his mouth, sat up, and was angry: "Gong Jichang, you want to suffocate the master to death!" ”

"Boy, if I don't do this, will you come back to life?" Gong Changyu smiled, "Lord Jing, madam, you can come in." ”

Jing Dapeng was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that his strategy still made Gong Changyu see through......

As soon as the blue wolf army retreated, Gong Changyu took a short rest, and three days later took the opportunity to take 600 new troops out of the city, build a barracks, and move the battle line hundreds of meters outside the city. He ordered his troops not to go out into battle, to calm down, and to wait in the barracks to wait for work. When the blue wolf army approached to a place just over a zhang away from the trench, Gong Changyu issued an order, and the Jingnan army suddenly launched a counterattack. First came the gunfire fire, then the sergeant charge, the swords and spears slashed, and the Blue Wolf Army suffered heavy casualties, losing four or five thousand men.

After doing this several times, the blue wolf army, which was desperately short of food, grass and ammunition, no longer took the initiative to attack, and Shi Xianda had no choice but to use the means of siege again, borrowing 10,000 horses from the Tiandihui in western Yuexi County, replenishing the soldiers, and waging a protracted battle with Gong Changyu.

Jing Zhigang and Ma Wenling, the two incumbent officials of the imperial court, were in Duliang City, which was surrounded by war, but they did not have the calmness of Gong Changyu. They are concerned about the safety of a city, and they must serve the army, although they do not understand military affairs, but comforting the army is their forte.

Every day, they brought wine and meat cakes and porridge to reward the soldiers guarding the city wall, and offered a reward to encourage them to go out of the city to fight, and for each soldier of the Blue Wolf Army, they were rewarded with thirty taels of silver. The agitation of these two officials has achieved remarkable results.

The inhabitants of the city are all brave, the young and strong carry spears, the old and the young deliver food, the young and middle-aged all take up arms, the old and the children deliver food and water, and sit at the door of the house with lights at night, in case someone is doing internal response for the blue wolf army.

Whenever the Blue Wolf Army attacked the city, the soldiers on the position shouted, and the citizens also shouted, and even the Aoshui River also vibrated for it. In this offensive and defensive battle, the work done by the county commander and the county commander greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the defending side. Xi Qitian climbed the rope and climbed the city wall in the days when Wuyou City was under fire, and entered the city. Gong Changyu, who was overjoyed, could finally take a breath of relief and entrust him with the defense of the whole city. Xi Qitian allocated military rations, processed paperwork, and deployed defensive forces day and night. Jing Zhigang adopted all his suggestions and ordered them to be implemented.

When the military salary was short, Xi Qitian suggested borrowing silver from the solid people in the city to supply the military salary, Jing Zhigang and Gong Changyu immediately accepted, and Ma Wenling was active and borrowed 40,000 taels of silver to solve the urgent need. Xi Qitian offered advice to Gong Changyu's Jingnan Army to defend Wuyoucheng, and his life's fame began from here, this starting point was actually what Xi Qitian had been looking forward to for a long time.
