Ordinary things are the fifth chapter of the beginning of turmoil
In April after the Marquis of Wuyi pacified the Western Regions, the season has entered the late autumn, the autumn wind rises, the leaves gradually yellow, the leaves fall with the wind, the horses step on the leaves, the banner of "Wuyi" flies with the autumn wind, the soldiers in front of Guanzhong City come to the city, and the order is waved to break the door and seize the city.
Guanzhong City is located at the junction of the east and the west, the cause of the war is that there are warlords pretending to be civilians to enter the city, waiting for the opportunity to rebel and occupy the city at night, but the storm is less than five days before the Wuyi army raids, in the face of the already famous, the battlefield is feared by the army, the gang of thieves abandons the city early and flees, the Wuyi army effortlessly drove away this group of vicious people.
It was not a major event, but what was puzzling was that two days later, General Fengyuan also arrived in Guanzhong City with 5,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the thieves, and found that the city was occupied by the Wuyi army one step earlier, and there were contradictions at this time.
Bonghara rode his horse to the city gate and shouted, "Open the door for Ben to let him go!" ”
The captain of the guard on the city wall responded: "Lord Wuyi has an order, and no one is allowed to enter the city. ”
Bongwon: "Fart him!" Ben will come to beg for thieves on the orders of the imperial court, why was he turned away?! ”
Captain of the Guard: "Then this lord can go back, now that the thieves have been driven away, there is no need for you to worry about this matter with our Wuyi Army." ”
Feng Yuan gritted his teeth in anger, took out his bow and pulled the string to aim at the guard commander and shot an arrow, which frightened the guard chief and hurriedly squatted down and the arrow passed over, Feng Yuan scolded: "A nobody in the Wuyi Military Region dares to talk to General Ben in such a tone? Tell you Wuyi Marquis to come out! ”
"Hey, who is so shouting that Ben Hou will come to see him in person? Oh, it turned out that I was here by an adult, and I was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Chu Hong appeared on the top of the city tower, and Feng Yuan asked angrily, "Marquis Wuyi answered two questions from General Ben!" One, why don't you let Benjiang go into the city? Second, why not pursue the thieves? ”
Chu Hong disagreed: "The entry and exit confinement is not aimed at Lord Feng, according to Ben Hou's understanding, it is precisely because of negligence that the thieves mixed in that they have a chance to take advantage of it, as for the problem of suppressing thieves, Ben Hou believes that since the enemy thieves have abandoned the city and left, it is not a threat, and the top priority should be to appease the people in the city and reorganize the peace." ”
Feng Yuan questioned: "What does this have to do with you?" Besides, Guanzhong City is located in the Eastern Regions, and the fall has nothing to do with your Wuyi Marquis, so what do you mean by sending troops to occupy Guanzhong City without authorization?! ”
Chu Hong showed the royal token given by Kwai Yuan and said with a smile: "With this military order given to Benhou by His Majesty, Guanzhong City will be taken over by Benhou before the thieves are destroyed, and when the preparations are perfect, he will send troops to fight the thieves." ”
Feng Yuan said disdainfully: "Wuyi Marquis, don't think that you can do whatever you want with His Majesty's military orders, your control of Guanzhong City is limited to the period when the thieves are in turmoil, and the little thief Kou will see how the general will quickly exterminate him, and then the Wuyi army will not get out of Guanzhong City, and I will tell the court to show you that it is a rebellion!" ”
Chu Hong: "Why should Lord Feng be angry, if you can eliminate the thieves for the people of Guanzhong City, the Wuyi army will definitely withdraw from Guanzhong City, and never take up more than a moment and a half, and by the way, bring Lord Feng a piece of information, those thieves are stationed on Niubei Mountain six miles away, and they have not completely abandoned Guanzhong City." ”
Feng Yuan turned his horse and led the troops away, and before leaving, he dropped a sentence of "remember what you said" and did not turn back to the direction of the mountains.
Han Fu, who had never shown up behind Chu Hong, said in a low voice: "Is this really appropriate?" Although confrontation with other forces is a matter of time and time, it is still unthinkable that it will be so early and in this form. ”
Chu Hong smiled: "What's the matter, Ah Fu? Are you worried about the Wuyi Army's initiative to attack? After all, this time is not to raise the banner of the imperial court to fight against traitors. ”
Han Fu: "I know my lord, but I'm afraid that doing this will violate the trust of His Majesty Dan Leek, who has the grace of knowing us. ”
Chu Hong: "Although it will hurt Your Majesty's heart, if the Wuyi Army has been indifferent, it is equivalent to sitting back and waiting to be killed, you must know that those high-ranking officials and nobles from powerful backgrounds have never put us in the present, and the reward When the Japanese Marquis saw it with his own eyes, the civil and military officials obeyed not His Majesty's order but the Prime Minister of Naluo, just as the fox girl said, the Wuyi Army must expand its power while it is still useful to these people, and when the Wuyi Army has grown to the point that it cannot be shaken, it will not be easily pushed down by other forces, so that it can have the right to negotiate on an equal footing." ”
Han Fu nodded and said, "I understand, for the sake of the Wuyi Army, but also for Your Majesty, to become the biggest pillar behind Your Majesty." ”
Feng Yuan led the troops to the foot of Niubei Mountain, a cursory observation, guessing that the number of thieves and gangs was less than 3,000, trying to use the number of suppression and strong attack means directly up the mountain, but was repelled by the rolling stones and traps that the enemy had already prepared, Feng Yuan retreated and camped at the foot of the mountain to use the blockade strategy, as long as the enemy was trapped on the mountain, they had no way to escape, and they could not get supplies for a long time, and when the enemy's food and grass were exhausted, the natural victory was within reach.
However, to Bongwon's surprise, on the night of the third day, several black-clad masked men suddenly appeared on fast horses to raid the camp, burning down their granaries with fire arrows and quickly evacuating.
"Report to your lordship, those perpetrators are very good at horsemanship, and our cavalry team can't catch up at all, so we lost them......"
Bongwon was furious: "Bastard! Can't catch a few thieves?! ”
Unexpectedly, he became the first party to lack food and grass, and continued to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness, but he was forced to be exhausted and had to slaughter horses for food.
Along the way, passing through Guanzhong City, Fengyuan thought that if he asked Wuyi Hou for help, let him know that he would be laughed at if he couldn't even defeat the thieves and thieves, or take a long detour to the next town and ask for help and supplies, but after thinking about it, whether this Wuyi Hou had already decided that he couldn't ask him for help, it stands to reason that the thieves were all trapped on the mountain and the grain and grass in the camp were stored at the back of the camp, no matter how he thought, it would be difficult for the thieves to send people and horses to avoid the sight of his subordinates and go around to the rear of the camp to sneak attack, not to mention that the people who came were all elites, and his subordinates couldn't even catch a single person. Could it be ......
The more Feng Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, this was most likely the work of Marquis Wuyi! But his subordinates are not angry, and they don't even catch half a figure, and they will only be treated as a joke by the other party, which is really hateful!
Feng Yuan is subordinate to the generals of the Eastern Land, naturally colluded with the largest local power of the Oriental Chamber of Commerce, Feng Yuan and Jiang Luzi discussed this matter and said their guesses, Jiang Luzi nodded and said: "This strategy is really wonderful, Guanzhong City is the junction of the east and west, there is war here It stands to reason that the generals on both sides have the duty to send troops to quell the chaos, and there is no difference who has made the war exploits in the eyes of His Majesty, but Guanzhong City has been under the control of our side, so it is natural that we should be responsible for pacifying, I didn't expect to be preempted by Wuyi Hou." ”
Feng Yuan was puzzled: "But after learning that Guanzhong City has fallen, I have immediately reorganized my team, and the five-day schedule has arrived, and Wuyi Hou actually captured Guanzhong City before that?!" How exactly do they do it? ”
Jiang Luzi: "There are indeed suspicions, it seems that the occupation of Guanzhong City by thieves has long been known by Wuyi Hou, they only need to ambush left and right and wait for the opportunity to act to easily recapture Guanzhong City, in short, it will take time to investigate clearly." ”
After ten days, Jiang Luzi tried to get in touch with the Taishou of Guanzhong City by letter, but there was no reply, and soon after, the businessmen in Zhongcheng complained to the Eastern Chamber of Commerce: "That Wuyi Marquis is simply too deceitful!" The business in Guanzhong City can't go on! ”
Jiang Luzi: "If the bosses have any grievances, you might as well say it directly." ”
Boss Zheng: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't know, that Wuyi Hou's behavior after taking charge of Guanzhong City can only be described as arrogant!" Not only did it collect additional taxes from all local traffickers and merchants, saying that it was for war salaries, but it also restricted the pricing and prevented me from raising prices, so that all the money I earned before would be spit out and fall into the pockets of the Wuyi army, which was not profitable at all in Guanzhong City! ”
Boss Feng: "What's more, the Marquis of Wuyi also expropriated part of our land and said that it was used for military food planting, and distributed all the land to those farmers to cultivate, and only gave us 20% of the harvest when we harvested!" It's ours! Those tenants are ours too! Now no one is willing to work for us, and they all run to the fields of the Wuyi Army! ”
Jiang Luzi pondered: "Political reform...... And as for the merchants, I know, I will find a way to solve the matter of Guanzhong City as soon as possible. ”
However, it was not only the merchants who were affected by the New Deal in Guanzhong City, a large mansion was crowded with a large number of Wuyi soldiers, who were moving valuables inside, and the owner of the mansion and his relatives could only stand silently and dare not speak out.
"The Dragon and Phoenix family has come to an end, I should also leave this family, grandma, will you agree with my choice......"
At the same time that the Wuyi army was looting the mansion with the family number and plaque "Qing", a small number of soldiers broke into the compound of the house name "Zhu" next door, and the servants fled in all directions and no one was left behind, and the strange thing is that the owner of the house did not appear.
"Doesn't this house have an owner?"
"That's right, it's all moved."
The two soldiers walked into the largest main hall to inspect around, and suddenly a woman in red appeared from the corner, her skills were sharp and quickly reached the back of one of the soldiers, and the short sword in her hand slashed at her neck to take her life neatly, and the other soldier found that she had just drawn her sword and wanted to shout loudly, the woman in red had quickly walked to her front and stabbed her in the abdomen with a sword to add another life in her hand.
The trembling old housekeeper who was hiding aside asked, "Miss Red Sleeves, are you really going to go away and fly away and never return to the Zhu family......
The woman named Vermilion Sleeve wiped the blood from the sword with a cloth, and said indifferently: "I'm going to look for that person, who should be the real head of the Qing family, maybe I will accompany him back after I find it." ”
By the time the bodies of the two soldiers were found, Zhu Hongsleeve had already left the compound and left Guanzhong City, and it was very rare for someone in the city to be so skilled in martial arts and dare to offend the battle-hardened Wuyi Army.
