Chapter 20: Saving People on the Field
When I arrived at the prefect's yamen, it was almost noon. The open space in front of the yamen was much larger than Feng's mansion, and it was full of people. I have been recuperating in Jinan City for almost a month, and I didn't know that there were so many people hiding in the city. Tie Xuan is really a good official, at least in the eyes of the common people and the Southern Army.
I finally squeezed into a front position, and I could see Tie Xuan, Luo Shicheng, and a middle-aged man I didn't know standing on the makeshift platform.
Tie Xuan's face looked very pale, probably because these people were tired of fleeing and gathering the scattered Southern Army soldiers. Luo Shicheng is dressed in white, but he is much more capable than before. As for the middle-aged man, he looks about the same status as Tie Xuan, and Tie Xuan is polite to him.
There is no expected "prisoner" on the stage, and this point should have arrived. Just as I was wondering, the crowd began to twitch, and my shoulder was squeezed several times, and the wound must have opened again, but it didn't ooze blood for a while. They must have been escorted over, and the yamen prison could not be opened in the yamen.
Old Madam Feng should be at the forefront, I thought to myself. The crowd made way for the "prisoners", and those who approached the prisoners began to point and talk loudly. My height of 75 meters is not too tall in Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't see the situation over there even if I stretch my neck. Until they were brought to the stage.
There are more than a dozen people, some I know, Old Madam Feng and people from the Feng Mansion, some I don't know, and there may be other court officials who have fornicated with the Northern Army. There are even captured soldiers of the Northern Army, as well as Liu Sitong!
I forgot all these things, and Liu Sitong also stayed in Jinan City to recuperate. The soldiers of the Northern Army next to him may have stayed behind to take care of Liu Sitong.
Zhang Yu's soldiers of the Northern Army who stayed in Jinan City should have almost run away, why was Liu Sitong the only one caught? He was injured and couldn't run? He didn't hurt his arms and legs, and it seems that he can run and jump, shouldn't it. Looking at his expression again, it seems a little awkward.
Yes, that's the look of a person with dementia. My eyes are not so good, they are far away, and I can't see clearly. Maybe he still has saliva on the corner of his mouth.
"Dear folks, fathers and elders, all the soldiers......"
Tie Hyun began to give speeches, and this kind of criticism conference always had to go through this formality at the beginning. Obviously, Tie Xuan is currently the supreme leader of Jinan City. As soon as he spoke, the whole scene fell silent and interrupted my thoughts.
"Now I, Tie Xuan, am blessed by the Holy God and have returned to Jinan City. Snatch the long-suffering city from the unscrupulous rebels. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, wanted to hit Shengjing under the banner of Jingnan and usurp the inheritance left by Emperor Gao. He took the army of tigers and wolves, and he would attack Jinan City again. The so-called country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, and we are the ministers and the people, although it is not enough to cut down the unruly and destroy the people, but we can stick to our homeland......"
This is also his pre-war mobilization. It's quite impassioned, but it's a little too pedantic. After all, Zhu Di is also the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, why can't he be the emperor. You have to get involved in their family's affairs, and you have to stand in line. It's a pity that historical experience tells us that all wars, no matter what the purpose, are the winners and losers, and he Tie Xuan is on the wrong team.
But then again, when future generations read history, they are sympathetic to the weak, which is also the objective condition for him to achieve a reputation after his death.
I thought that after Tie Hyun finished speaking, the middle-aged man would also add a few words. As a result, after Tie Hyun finished boosting his morale, he began to commit crimes against those who were tied up on the stage. Anyway, it's a bit of a book. said a lot of things, and to sum it up, it is to tell everyone, don't be two-faced, can't be two-faced, and it's very dangerous to turn your elbow out. Of course, it is not possible to stand on his side Tie Xuan, and the end will be like Liu Sitong.
Tie Hyun didn't even mean to introduce the middle-aged man next to him. It may be that the time has taken too long, and I can't make it to lunch. No, it's my turn.
"Wait a minute!"
I was going to shout, and then I ran straight to the stage. Martial arts novels don't all describe it like this, and when I went up, I started talking in a whisper and pointing at me. But because of the pain of the wound, I didn't shout so loudly that the people around me didn't pay much attention. When I wanted to shout again, it was too late, and the emotions of the masses had already been mobilized.
"Kill them", "A thousand cuts", "It's not a pity to die"......
They are not afraid of the funeral, they are not afraid to see the murder, as long as the butcher knife is not waved on their own heads.
I had no choice but to take out the dagger hidden on my body and throw it on the table with a flick of my hand. The dagger landed under Liu Sitong's feet, startling him and shrinking his feet back. Everyone who approached the platform saw it and slowly quieted down.
"Who threw this thing up?" Luo Shicheng had sharp eyes, walked over and picked up the dagger and asked angrily below.
The whole scene was silent. Because everyone saw that there were dozens of elite soldiers behind Luo Shicheng, and they all pulled out their knives.
"I threw it!" I shouted, afraid he wouldn't notice me.
"Who are you, come up? ”
Hey, I thought I could have a good time, but I was ruined by this surnamed Luo. He is also quite confident, and dares me to go up and match him. It's crazy, he knows he's going to take me down?
"Your surname is really bad, do you remember the night before Jinan City was occupied by our Northern Army, the spies of the Northern Army who attacked Lord Tie Xuan Tie?"
I deliberately added the word "I" in front of the Northern Army, just to emphasize that I am a member of the Northern Army.
Luo Shicheng thought about it for a while, and he should have remembered me. This is not a trivial matter, and the three of them made the entire Jinan City lose overnight.
"Then it is said that because the people on the stage have made a hindrance from it, they have not been able to kill you, but now you will send it to the door yourself, and I will fulfill you. Luo Shicheng said all the cruel words very affinity. As a person concerned, I naturally feel creepy, and the bystanders probably won't think so. They may feel that I am to blame because of Luo Shicheng.
I'm betting right now that Tie Hyun will stop before Luo Shicheng's sword cuts my throat.
In the end, I won the bet.
"What's your name?"
"Mu Wu. "I didn't expect Tie Hyun to ask such a non-level question at such a critical time.
"You're alone?"
This question should be asked first, if you're afraid there's an ambush behind me.
"I think, in addition to these tied people on the stage in Nanjing City, it is estimated that I am the only one left under King Yan. ”
Tie Xuan is a civil servant, and he doesn't understand the strategy at all. You can see this from asking me these two questions. But now it's time to make him believe me. I don't know if I can save the people of the Feng Mansion, the main thing is to let him leave me. Have you ever seen such an attack into the enemy? This is called putting oneself to death and then coming back to life. But it's too much to say that the enemy is a bit too much, and I should be a neutral person, after all, I shouldn't belong to this era.
"You're here to save them?"
"Yes, not entirely. "I'm going to have to sell it and catch his taste to fool him.
"How?"
"Saving them is just piggybacking, and my main thing is to offer Lord Tie a strategy to retreat from the enemy. ”
"What enemy?"
"Lord Fang Cai also said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will inevitably pass through Jinan by taking advantage of Jing to raise troops. And Jinan is also an important place for him to win. To the north, you can defend his base camp Yanjing, and in the south, you can cross the Huanghuai and point to Nanjing. Now the rebellious coach Li Jinglong has almost escaped the Huai River, and when Zhu Di surrounds him, Jinan is a lonely city. Adults are responsible for military food and grass, and they should know how much food it takes to raise so many soldiers in Jinan City. ”
"If you let go a little, maybe you can finish the battle and leave Zhu Di in Jinan City. Then the Northern Army naturally collapsed. ”
When I say this, I have an analysis of the general trend of the war, as well as a mystical outlook. In fact, these are all written in the history books, but at that time it was far-sighted.
Apparently Tie Hyun was moved by what I said, which I designed a long time ago. He, a civil servant, naturally prefers the academic school of talking on paper. He whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, and then ordered his men to disperse the crowd of onlookers. There will be no beheading today, the specific time is to be determined, and the notice will be posted on the street.
It seems that there is a drama, and I see that Old Madam Feng and the people in the Feng Mansion are relieved. Those soldiers of the Northern Army were like leper dogs, with no expressions, as if whether they died or not had nothing to do with them. Liu Sitong still has such a demented expression, occasionally looks at me, and his eyes are also confused.
"Tie him up together. ”
