After a brief period of harassment, the Zhu family army quickly took control of Yuncheng County.

This surprise attack and seizure plan has nothing to boast about, but it is just taking advantage of the trust of the upper and lower levels of Yuncheng County in Zhujiazhuang, and it is a bit of a victory.

Chai Jin took Jiao Ting and more than 20 elites, disguised as nobles, and drove a carriage into the city gate, but the carriage hid heavily armed Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.

The vendors outside are Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoqi and others, and the one who quarreled at the head is Bian Xiang, and his image and temperament are very consistent.

In one fell swoop, they captured the city gate in one fell swoop, and Zhu Long, who was ambushed in the woods five miles away, saw the signal and rushed over with the cavalry of the Guards and occupied the city.

A small county town with only one city gate.

After controlling the city gate and city wall, Zhu Long came to the county hall under the support of Xu Guanzhong, Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Jiao Ting and others.

He was unceremonious, sitting behind the long table above the public court, on the magistrate's big chair.

And the real magistrate Shi Wenbin stood in the hall in fear, just like the prisoners he had tried.

"Who is in the hall, still kneel!"

Zhu Long slapped the startled wood and shouted violently, so frightened that Shi Wenbin's legs trembled, and he knelt down directly.

The two rows of guards on the left and right sides of the court had no humorous spirit, did not know how to cooperate, and did not shout "mighty", which made Zhu Long a little disappointed.

It was Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, and Jiao Ting who stood in front, a bit of a dynasty Mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, plus Xu Guanzhong sat behind the small table next to him, well, Mr. Gongsun also has it!

It's just that this gentleman's combat effectiveness is too strong, and it is estimated that Zhanzhao may not be able to beat him.

At this time, Zhanzhao - no, it was Wu Song who came in from outside, approached Zhu Long's ear, and whispered: "He stayed at home and refused to come out to see the lord!" ”

Zhu Long nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he knew, and suddenly slapped the stunned wood again, and shouted: "Shi Wenbin, you stupid official, the judgment is unfair, in order to give yourself a good anger, insult my Lei Heng brother, I want to kill you today, and I will take a bad breath for my Lei Heng brother!" ”

"Come on, drag Shi Wenbin to the entrance of the vegetable market, and behead him at three o'clock in the afternoon to show the public!"

"Yes!" Several wolf-like guards lifted up Shi Wenbin, who was paralyzed on the ground, and dragged him out.

This change was unexpected by everyone present, and Xu Guanzhong looked at Zhu Long even more puzzled, this is different from what was discussed in advance!

Only Wu Song guessed Zhu Long's mind and smiled slightly.

Zhu Long didn't say anything, and turned to Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong, and Bian Xiang: "The three of you will lead the cavalry of your headquarters according to the plan, and quickly go to join Zhu Hu!" ”

Lu Zhishen persuaded him: "Lord, it's too dangerous for you to stay in Yuncheng County!" This county town is no more than two zhang high, and there is no moat, only 6,000 people, how can it withstand Gao Yu's 100,000 army? ”

Shi Wengong and Bian Xiang also persuaded one after another, Zhu Long was unmoved, and said with a smile: "There are six thousand five hundred brothers, plus this city, it is enough!" If I'm not there, how can I attract Gao Yu? ”

"And these more than 6,000 brothers, in addition to the infantry and guard camps of the Guards, there are also infantry soldiers of the two battalions of the Green Dragon and White Tiger, and a thousand infantry soldiers of the sailors——"

Zhu Long paused, and then said: "There are also two thousand elites selected by the captain from the officers and soldiers, they are skilled in martial arts and have strong combat power, but except for me and Captain Guan, it is difficult for others to subdue them. ”

Shi Wengong said: "Lord, let me stay!" ”

"Your task is more important!" Zhu Long patted Shi Wengong's shoulder and said, "The cavalry of the four main forces of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, plus the cavalry of the Guards, is only six thousand horsemen, but it is difficult to defeat an army of 100,000!" ”

"Only by relying on you fierce generals to charge into battle, and tear apart the defense line of officers and soldiers with one hundred, can we win more with less!"

"The subordinates will never dare to live up to the high expectations of the lord!" Shi Wengong slapped his fist on the chest.

Zhu Long's plan is very simple, he stays in Yuncheng County to attract officials and soldiers, and he believes that Gao Yu will never let go of his "big fish".

Zhu Hu led all the main cavalry forces, ambushed outside, and waited for the Gao Yu army to be under the city for a long time, and when the old man was tired, he broke it in one fell swoop.

Zhu Biao led a small number of naval troops to make a landing gesture and attract some officers and troops.

He only feintmed, and Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoqi and a thousand elites of the water division were also transferred to Yuncheng County.

Zhu Biao also thought that Zhu Long was going to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Shun and let him "die", so he persuaded again and again, until Zhu Long showed that he had no intention of killing Zhang Shun, and he was relieved.

Suddenly, the guards outside the door came in and reported: "Someone outside asks to see you!" ”

Zhu Long and Wu Song glanced at each other, showed a hint of a smile, and said, "Please let him in!" ”

The guards went out, and after a while, a beautiful man with a magnificent instrument appeared at the door of the public hall, stood outside the threshold, looked up at Zhu Long, and then walked in, bowed and saluted: "Zhu Tong greets Zhu Daguan!" ”

Zhu Long got up and went down to the hall, bowed deeply to Zhu Tong and said: "Last time, Meng Zhu Dutou helped out, Zhu Long remembered it in his heart, and he wanted to come to the door to thank him for a long time, but he was afraid that he would be implicated, and he was in a dilemma!" ”

"I just entered the city, I have a lot of troubles, I want to solve the affairs at hand, so I went to visit Zhu Dutou, but Dutou came to the door in person, I was really overjoyed!"

"Come on, hurry up and prepare a banquet, I want to have a drink with Zhu Du!"

Zhu Tong shook his head and said, "No need! It's just a gesture last time, it's not enough to worry about it, I wish the officials don't have to take it to heart! Before coming down, there is one thing to ask for! ”

"Oh, please! As long as I wish someone can do it, I will never shirk! Zhu Long patted his chest happily.

"This county knows the county, although it is not an honest and honest official, but looking at the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not bad, and he usually does not exploit the people, even if he is greedy for ink, he will not die for his crime, and please wish the big official to spare his life!"

"This ...... Zhu Dutou knows about the grievances between Shi Wenbin, the dog official, and Lei Dutou, and I want to kill him, but also to avenge Lei Dutou. ”

"But since Zhu Dutou intercedes for him, then this matter is over!"

Zhu Long agreed, turned his head and said, "You go to the vegetable market and bring Shi Wenbin over!" ”

"Yes!"

Jiao Ting immediately went out.

Zhu Long coughed and directly recruited: "Zhu Dutou is bright and fair, righteous and thin, how can this dirty and filthy officialdom tolerate a good man like you, why don't you do a great career with me?" ”

Zhu Tong bent down and bowed: "Thank you for the reward, but I don't have great ambitions, and I am already very satisfied to be the head of any small patrol and feed the family." I hope the officials will forgive me! ”

"Zhu Dutou, you see that Shi Wenbin, as the leader of a county, can't protect himself! The Zhao family is deaf and incompetent, the traitors of the court are in charge, the officials are corrupt, the people are displaced, how many rich families in the world have accumulated for generations, and the court has lost all of them once under an order...... A speck of dust in this era, falling on the heads of ordinary people, is a mountain! ”

"If you really want to protect your wife and children, you must have power and power, otherwise disaster will come, and you will not be able to do anything!"

Zhu Long persuaded Zhu Tong earnestly.

Zhu Tong also felt the same way, but he still shook his head resolutely and said: "Zhu Tong just wants to be a small head catcher in Yuncheng County, and there is nothing else to ask for!" ”

Zhu Long saw that his attitude was very resolute, knowing that if he continued to persuade him, it would only be disgusting, so he sighed regretfully, and then smiled: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced!" But remember, the door of Zhujiazhuang is always open to Zhu Dutou, you can come at any time, Zhu is always welcome! ”

"Thank you!" Zhu Tong spit out two simple words in his mouth, but they contained his true gratitude.

Zhu Long's reasonableness made him admire and have a good impression.

After a while, Shi Wenbin was brought, he walked around from the ghost gate, and now his legs are still trembling.

He was puzzled in his heart, he was about to be beheaded, why did he suddenly stop and take him back to the county office?

Is this head still cut or not?

Do you wait and then cut, or don't cut it again?

By the way, you must be trying to torture me where the money is hidden!

After asking, it is estimated that he will still have to cut off his head.

Since ancient times, officials who have been caught by anti-thieves will inevitably die, because these anti-thieves are all enemies of officials and wealth.

When I was someone, I also read the book of sages, and I must be mighty and unyielding, and I can't beat him to death!

Anyway, if you die, the official will die vigorously, and when you see Zhu Long, you will reprimand and scold loudly!

scolded him as a chaotic minister and thief, scolded him for raising an army, scolded him for harming the people, and scolded him for being rich and unkind......

Anyway, if you want to be righteous and awe-inspiring, generous to righteousness, and leave your name in history, maybe the court will posthumously give a nickname or something.

"Lord, bring it!" Jiao Ting brought him into the court.

Shi Wenbin looked up at Zhu Long, who was full of murderous aura, the righteousness in his chest suddenly disappeared without a trace, his knees were inexplicably weak, he knelt down, and cried: "The king spares his life!" All my ink-loving silver is dug and buried in the ground, just under the desk in my study..."

Zhu Long was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to meet Zhu Tong's embarrassed gaze.

He waved his hand and said helplessly: "Pull it down, let Lord Shi calm down!" ”

After Shi Wenbin, who was crying like a pig, was pulled out of the door, Zhu Tong couldn't cry and laughed, and said to Zhu Long: "Lord Shi usually takes a lot of care of Zaixia, and I want to escort Lord Shi to Jeju City, hoping that the officials will allow it." ”

"Zhu Dutou is righteous and thin, loyal and righteous, and admires him. You can go without worry, I will take care of my sister-in-law and nephew. Jiao Ting, you send Zhu Dutou out of the city! ”

"Thank you very much!"

After Zhu Tong finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Jiao Ting followed.

"This Zhu Tong is bright and fair, but he is a good man, but unfortunately he can't be used by the lord!" Lu Zhishen sighed.

Zhu Long said with a smile: "If you have a fate, you don't have to force it!" ”

"My lord's words are more like a monk than me!"

"Haha, you three go quickly, I can solve it here!"

The three of them also wanted to persuade Zhu Long, but suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, and a figure broke in.

"Big brother, the military advisor has sent a letter!"

When Zhu Long heard the word "big brother", he thought it was Zhu Hu.

When someone came to stand firm, they looked at it, and it turned out to be the third Zhu Biao.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

Zhu Long frowned, Zhu Biao has always been calm and steady, why is he as frizzy as the second Zhu Hu today.

"I went back to the villa to visit my father, and it happened that the military advisor sent someone to send a secret letter, after I opened it and read it, I felt that the matter was very important, so I quickly whipped it and sent it quickly!"

Zhu Biao explained the ins and outs while handing Zhu Long a letter that had been opened.

Zhu Long opened the letter, lowered his head and read it quickly.

After reading it, his expression was as usual, he didn't see anything abnormal at all, he showed a thoughtful look, and handed the letter to Xu Guanzhong casually.

After reading the letter, Xu Guanzhong showed a look of sudden realization and said: "No wonder we can't find out the whereabouts of those Jiangnan soldiers, it turns out that they went to the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

All the generals in the hall looked at him with puzzled expressions, he didn't explain directly, but looked at Zhu Long.

Zhu Long nodded, did not make a sound, and was still thinking about countermeasures.

With Zhu Long's permission, Xu Guanzhong explained to the generals: "Of the 100,000 troops of the imperial court, Gao Yu only had 60,000 people along the way, and the other 40,000 quietly went to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Liang Zhongshu was personally commanded by the Daimyo's Mansion, preparing to attack Zhujiazhuang while the main force of our army was entangled with Gao Yu."

Under his command are Han Cunbao, the chief of soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhou Xin, Wang Yi, the governor of the Daimyo's Mansion, Wang Huan, the governor of Lingzhou, Zhang Kai, the governor of Gaotang Prefecture, and Wang Wende, the governor of Dongchang Mansion, and other fierce generals! ”

Everyone took a breath of cool air, Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Zhang Kai, and Wang Wende are all famous generals for a long time, although they are old, they are still famous.

Especially that Wang Huan, the last battle against Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Guan Sheng left a deep impression on the fierce generals in Zhujiazhuang.

The four lieutenants of the Zhujia Army, he singled out three, saved Tong Guan many times, and finally broke out of the encirclement and broke through in the chaos of the army, which shows his force and battlefield experience.

And Han Cunbao, Zhang Kai, and Mei Zhan must be about the same.

However, the generals did not have the slightest fear, but instead inspired the fighting spirit and vowed to compete with these old-timers.

Especially Shi Wengong, he was very annoyed that he didn't meet Wang Huan at that time, otherwise he must be kept.

He was gearing up and eager to try.

At this time, Zhu Long raised his head, waved his hand, the guards all retreated, and Jiao Ting personally led the guards to guard the door.

"Staff Officer Xu, what should I do now?" Zhu Long looked at Xu Guanzhong.

Xu Guanzhong understood that Zhu Long wanted to give himself a chance to show his talents in front of the generals, so he coughed and took the opportunity to figure out Zhu Long's thoughts.

He had to make his thoughts coincide with Zhu Long, otherwise, Zhu Long vetoed his proposal, then he would not look good.

Of course, with his character, he would never blindly cater to Zhu Long, otherwise he would not have run away to be a hermit. He will just choose the one that Zhu Long is most likely to adopt from several better plans.

After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "The subordinates propose: The lord is in charge of the cavalry and ambushes Liang Zhongshu!" ”

"Then who will guard Yuncheng County?"

"It can be guarded by the three generals, and the subordinates will also stay!"

Zhu Long looked at Zhu Biao, revealing an inquiry.

"Okay, I'll guard Yuncheng County!" Zhu Biao said briskly.

Zhu Long's expression was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "Brother Lu Shi and Wu Song, the two of you stay and help the three generals defend the city!" ”

Without waiting for others to object, he added: "The camp will be left behind!" In case you can't hold it, the two of you will take the guards to protect the three generals and Staff Officer Xu and kill them! ”

When Zhu Long defended the city by himself, he lifted his weight lightly, talked and laughed, and regarded the enemy army as nothing. But when Zhu Biao guarded the city, he worried about it, couldn't rest assured, and left Lu Zhishen and Wu Song to him.

Even so, he was still a little worried, and said, "The two thousand officers and soldiers who surrendered ......"

"Big brother, don't worry, they have all surrendered, what else, can they still go back? Look, they're braver than anyone else when it comes to fighting! ”

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Long felt that it made sense, so he was relieved.

"Send someone to invite Old Man Zeng to come, I have something to explain!" Zhu Long finally instructed that he had to arrange everything for Zhu Biao before he left with confidence.
