Chapter Twenty-Three: Bad luck
The city defense officer didn't know Wu Guogong's intentions, but said lightly: "According to the report sent by his subordinates, it is not the Han army, but some athletes in Yingtian City and the surrounding villages, saying that they are going to join the army in the camp of our army stationed outside Yingtian City to jointly resist the attack of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, heard that it was not the Han army sent by Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, his hanging heart relaxed, and he smiled slightly and said: "Isn't it very good, if these athletes join our department, wouldn't our department be like a tiger with wings." ”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude eased a lot, the city defense officer also smiled and said, "Wu Guogong knows who the leader of this team of tens of thousands of people is. ”
"Probably who saw the conscription list posted by Ying Tian, and the righteous soldiers who came to serve in the army, climbed high and shouted, so that tens of thousands of horses could be recruited so quickly." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.
The city defense officer smiled and said: "Originally, I thought the same, the conscription order has been posted for a long time, but at most there are dozens of people a day, I didn't expect that today I could gather tens of thousands of horses in one day, and my subordinates were also surprised, but Tanma said that he was not a righteous man, and the leader was the Chu Chu military division under the command of Wu Guogong." ”
"What, it's Chu Liuyan." Wu Guogong was a little stunned and asked rhetorically: "Is it possible that Tanma is mistaken, is it really the Chu military division?" Or is it someone else? ”
The city defense officer said with a straight face: "After the subordinates heard the news, they were also a little surprised, so they sent a horse who knew the Chu military division, and after his return, he told me that it was indeed a Chu military division. ”
"How is it possible for the Chu army division to take these tens of thousands of horses to join the army." Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little surprised, and said to himself.
"The spies said that the Chu military division wants to bring these men and horses who have joined the army to General Xu Da's camp." The city defense officer shouted again without knowing the depths.
Who knew that it was okay if there was no exit for this word, as soon as Fang came out, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, glared at him and ordered him to expel the guest: "You go back first and keep an eye on the movements of these people." Whatever happens, you must report it to us before you can act, and if you don't report it and act alone with me, I will certainly not stop with you. ”
Wu Guogong's words turned sharply, and they were so harsh that the city defense officials were caught off guard, and they didn't know how to respond for a while.
When Wu Guogong saw that this person did not reply, he was furious in his heart, and shouted to the city defense officer: "Why, could it be that I, Wu Guogong, can't order you, a little city defense officer." ”
As soon as the words came out, Wu Guogong thought of the fact that the herald came back last night to say that all the generals under Xu Da's tent were disobedient, and the anger in his heart rose straight up, and shouted an order outside the door: "Come on, pull out this city defense officer who has no father and no king, and no one in his eyes, and hit me with fifty military sticks." ”
The wolf-like guard heard the shouts of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, outside, and led people to break into the door, and when they saw the frightened city defense officer, they came forward to catch him.
It wasn't until he was twisted by the guards that the city defense officials came to their senses, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong, his subordinates have not done anything wrong, why do you have so many military sticks under your subordinates." ”
But Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, just snorted coldly, turned around and went out, and walked into the back hall.
No matter how the city defense officer pleaded, the guards didn't let go, so they pulled the city defense officer to a courtyard without a little bit, pushed him to the ground, took off his pants, and exposed his white buttocks, and a guard who was in charge of the punishment said to the city defense officer: "Brother, even if you think you are unlucky today, Wu Guogong is angry today, and he is in a bad mood, you say the wrong thing, it must be such a consequence, but don't worry, as long as you can give some silver to sell some wine and food to your brothers, When I wait for you to be old, I will wait for less effort. ”
When this person heard this, his heart was shocked, he was originally here to ask Wu Guogong for merit and reward today, but he didn't expect that if things were messed up, not to mention, he would have to suffer hardships for himself.
However, I used to like to beat others, but now that it is my turn to be beaten, the city defense officer can't help but feel a little sad.
But things have come to this point, even if you want to regret it, it's too late, it's still important to your body, you can get it back in the future if you lose one hundred and eighty taels of silver, if you hurt your body and bones, you will have no capital to be an official in the future.
Thinking of this, the city defense official took out a money bag from his body with a trembling rope, and a guard was quick to copy the money bag in his hand, and quickly opened it to see that there was only a silver ticket of one hundred and fifty taels, and some broken silver.
The guard spat on the city defense officer with dissatisfaction and said: "Lao Tzu thought that this official was a rich lord and could extort a few more documents, but he didn't expect that he was actually a poor ghost, it was really unlucky, but I went to the gambling house to gamble." ”
Hearing the tone of the guards, the city guard knew that he was unlucky today, so he knew that he said to the guards: "It's not that I don't want to honor you, but I don't have much money around me today, if you don't dislike it, you will take it all. ”
When the guards heard this, they felt that what this person said was reasonable, so they said: "Wu Guogong has already given an order, and we can't disobey it." If you send this killing power, we can't explain it to Wu Guogong, and now we have to wronged you, just bear with it for the time being, I'll just pay attention to some proportions when I start, keep you a little bit of flesh and skin at most, and after you go back, you can recover after a day or two. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." With that, the city guard gagged the corner of his sleeve in his mouth and closed his eyes.
As soon as the guards saw that the city guard was ready, they said to this man, "Okay, brothers, we will do it." ”
The city guard nodded with his eyes closed, and then gritted his teeth.
The board was raised high and fell to the body of the city defense officer, he howled in pain, and recorded today's events on Chu Liuyan's head.
The city defense officer thought in his heart that if Chu Liuyan didn't bring tens of thousands of horses and horses outside the city, he would not report to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and he would not have to touch the anger of the unhappy Duke Wu.
Today's humiliation is all caused by Chu Liuyan, he is really a demon in red, he can't be contaminated at all, whoever meets him will be unlucky, and the city defense officer wantonly slandered Chu Liuyan in his heart.
The city defense officer gritted his teeth, secretly ruthless in his heart, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely take revenge on Chu Liuyan.
Not to mention that the city defense officer was humiliated, in the blink of an eye, he saw that Chu Liuyan had already arrived outside Xu Da's camp.
Chu Liuyan felt that today's camp was heavily guarded, as if something big had happened.
By the time Chu Liuyan came to the gate of the camp, Bai Chousheng had already been waiting here.
