Chapter 59 is all about the general
Gaoyang County!
The people of the whole city were panicked because of the invasion of Gyeonggi and the invasion of Baoding.
Baoding guerrilla Huang Wenchang, who was guarding the county seat, was even more troubled by this matter, first Lei Zhibo of Gaoyang Zhixian County fled the county seat in the name of raising money and grain, and then Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Dongge University who was at home, summoned him to discuss the strategy of defending the city, and ordered him to mobilize the people to defend the city.
But where did he have any countermeasures to resist the Dongyu, the military horses in the city were not clear to others, as the highest military commander in Gaoyang, Huang Wenchang knew better than anyone else.
He only had 500 militia in his hands, and he was deducted 300 by Li Xingzhi's dog, so it was not enough to divide the remaining 200 people on the city wall, let alone defend the city.
As for mobilizing the young and strong to assist in the defense, it is even more difficult, Lei Zhibo, that bastard, I don't know how much food he is greedy for, the county treasury only has three hundred taels of silver and fifty stone of military rations, there is no money and food, who among the people is willing to go to the city hungry to help defend it?
To tell the truth, if he hadn't been reluctant to take the official position he had just acquired, the guerrilla general would have followed Lei Zhibo's example and gone out of the city to take refuge.
"You say, what are we going to do now?" Looking at Li Youcai and Zhang Da with sad faces in the flower hall, Huang Wenchang couldn't hold back any longer.
Li Youcai has nothing to do, even if he is always quick-witted, it is difficult to cook without rice, at this juncture, where can there be any way.
Zhang Daqi said: "General, Li Xing borrowed 300 of us some time ago to collect grain in the area of Renqiu in Gaoyang, and it is said that he collected nearly 2,000 people. ”
Li Youcai stopped repeatedly: "How can this be done, although we have dealings with Li Xingzhi, but they are not official soldiers after all, there are 2,000 people in the east who have entered Xin'an, how dare Li Xingzhi defend the city for us, besides, what if they enter the city and plunder?" For today's plan, we can only mobilize the rich gentry to donate money and food, otherwise we will not be able to stop Dongyu at all. ”
Huang Wenchang sighed: "Raising materials to defend the city, the food and salary of the young and strong, it is not a little silver that can be solved, where are the rich gentry willing to give so much money and food." ”
Li Youcai and Zhang Da knew that Huang Wenchang was telling the truth, if they only had to pay a few hundred taels, it would definitely not be a difficult task, but let the people defend the city, and the food consumed every day would be at least dozens of stones, which was not counting the silver that would be rewarded.
Just when everyone had nothing to do, the little banner guarding the door, Huang Hu, came to report, saying that Li Jiashan had sent a messenger and said that there was a big deal to negotiate with the guerrilla generals.
"Phew, do business with him, Lao Tzu believes that he is a ghost."
Huang Wenchang was worried at the moment, and when he heard that Li Xingzhi wanted to do business with him, he couldn't help but think of the three hundred soldiers, and scolded loudly.
Li Youcai persuaded: "The owner, we have nothing to do now, instead of waiting for the Eastern Capture Army to come to the city, it is better to see what kind of spear Li Xingzhi plays." ”
Huang Wenchang's anger rested for a while, and he frowned: "Huang Hu, you go and bring people in to Ben General." ”
The person Li Rui chose this time is called Ma Sande, who is also from the Lei family's nursing home, and he is a fierce person, so the Li Jiazhai rebels call him Ma Sanbiaozi.
After Ma Sande was brought into the flower hall by Huang Hu, before he could speak, Huang Wenchang asked coldly: "Now that Dongyu has entered Kou Gaoyang, the master of your family Li Zhai is not enjoying happiness in Lijiashan, why did you come to find this general?" Don't talk to Lao Tzu about weapons, money and food, Lao Tzu is having a headache. ”
Ma Sande was not annoyed, and bowed to everyone and said: "The master of my village sent a small one to discuss with the general about money, food and weapons, my Li Jiashan has recently tripled its population, so it is natural to expand the army, and the gap in weapons and ordnance is very large, of course, although we are not short of money and food for the time being, General Huang can allocate some more, it is better." ”
Huang Wenchang was furious when he heard this, "Okay, very good!" Weapons, money, and food will all be given to you, what will you exchange them for? Could it be that he would have been a good money boy? ”
Ma Sande replied with a smile: "Human head,...... The head of the Eastern Captive. ”
"What does Lao Tzu want a human head to do? …… Wait, you say it's the head of the East Captive? How many? Huang Wenchang, Li Youcai, and Zhang Da in the flower hall all stood up in shock and stared at Ma Sande.
Seeing the guerrilla generals who were high above in the past, Ma Sanbiaozi proudly stretched out five fingers.
"The heads of the five Dongyu?"
Huang Wenchang asked in surprise, secretly calculating in his heart that the head of the five Dongyu was a guerrilla in Baoding, and the number of soldiers surveyed by the military department was 1,000, which could be regarded as a first-class achievement.
According to the system, at least the official can be promoted to one level, his current position is to declare David Qianhu, and the official position is Baoding guerrilla, if he is promoted to one level, he can at least get a general, and his world position can also be promoted to the commander of Baoding Mansion, which is an unexpected joy.
Clinker Ma Sanbiaozi shook his head slowly, then raised his eyes contemptuously at Huang Wenchang, Li Youcai and the others in the flower hall, and said, "It's not five, it's the head of five hundred Dongyu!" ”
"Plop! Thump......! ”
Guerrilla general, garrison master...... They all sat on the ground in shock, staring at Ma Sande with dead eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
Five hundred Dongyu heads, Li Xingzhi was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue when he spoke, it was really impossible to think that Dongyu was a pig and sheep that could be slaughtered casually.
Ma Sanbiaozi was very disdainful of Huang Wenchang's reaction to the others, wasn't it just five hundred Tartar heads? What can it be worth?
Long!
Huang Wenchang said suspiciously: "Where is the head now?" Can Ben see it for himself? ”
Ma Sande said with a smile: "General Huang, the head of Dongyu has been transported to Lijiashan by the owner of my village, and his old man said that this head is useless to his old man, so he will sell it to the general cheaply, each for three hundred taels, Tong Su is not bullied, weapons, craftsmen, artillery, food, we Li Jiashan all want." ”
"One Tartar head is three hundred taels, and five hundred Tartar heads are one hundred and fifty thousand taels." The guerrilla general will be happy and worried, if he really has 500 heads, he can at least get a general soldier, and he will be commanded by the World Propaganda Department, but where can he get so much money and food, no matter what, it will be a big deal to rob the rich families in Gaoyang.
"Let's go! Lao Tzu will go to Lijiashan now, bring all of our people, and go to see the Tartar head that Ben will win this time. ”
Huang Wenchang no longer hesitated, and said in a voice to Li Youcai and Zhang Dahong.
Due to his eagerness to check the authenticity of the head, Huang Wenchang left the team behind, and only galloped with more than ten family members, leaving Ma Sanbiaozi and Li Youcai far behind.
An hour and a half later, the guerrilla general broke into Li Xingzhi's Juyi Hall with great arrogance.
"Brother Li, where is the head, quickly take the head of the general and show it to Brother Wei."
Li Xingzhi smiled, got up and pulled Huang Wenchang's shoulders and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, let's go have a few drinks first, and then see how about the first level?" ”
Huang Wenchang said angrily: "What about five hundred Tartar heads, this is a big deal of 150,000 taels, can you not be in a hurry for my brother?" Go, go! ”
Li Xing's heart moved, he only needed one hundred taels, this brother sent by Li Rui in the past actually talked about 150,000 taels, and he didn't say much at the moment, and took Huang Wenchang straight to the place outside the school to store the head of Dongyu.
