Chapter 188: City Lord
Wu Nian asked the house slaves to bring back Liu Xiang, who was worried, and took the remaining house slaves into the city to go to the military camp.
Inside the barracks, drums roared.
The soldiers gathered in the school field and lined up in ten rows.
Wu Nian arrived at the Baihu Hall and sat down for a while, when Li Kun, Wu Dangkou and other officials came.
"Brother, what's going on again?" Li Kun took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face. Since Wu Nian took power, drums have often been beaten in this military camp, and the murderous atmosphere in Beishan Fort has been rampant.
They have also become frightened birds.
"Brother, don't be impatient. Zhang Jin, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others rushed back to talk about it. Wu Nian was calm and said with a smile.
Soon after, Zhang Jin, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Li Yong and others also entered the hall one after another, standing with knives or sitting on the Taishi chair, and everyone filled the hall to the brim.
Wu Nian sat on the second chair, glanced around everyone, and nodded with satisfaction. Although Beishan Fort is small, it has all kinds of organs.
"Just now I met a group of people on the road, led by a self-proclaimed Jiang County native surnamed Li. Fleeing to the south with his clan, he planned to cross the sea to the hinterland of Chu. ”
Wu Nian told the matter again, except for a few people such as Zhang Jin, Tie Niu, and Liu Wu, including Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Li Yong, their faces changed.
"Two hundred thousand households? This is a strong army of 200,000 Mengyuan. No wonder the North fell. What are we going to do? ”
The official immediately broke down in a cold sweat, Li Kun's face was as white as paper, and he trembled.
"Let's run, too. Under the nest, there are no eggs. Liaodong is finished. "Wu Dangkou cut the railway.
"That's right. Let's run, too. Let's go. A small flag officer also nodded heavily, and cut the railroad to the point. His face was filled with fear, as if it had been when the plague had struck.
Mengyuan people and plagues are very similar, but one is an invisible god of death, and the other is a visible god of death.
Zhang Jin held the handle of the knife with his left hand, his eyes looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, and his posture did not change, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a contemptuous expression.
Wu Nian's face did not change at all.
"Wu Zongqi. I'll go first, farewell. A small flag officer couldn't help it, hugged his fist at Wu Nian, stood up like a burning buttocks, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the rest of the people's eyes flickered, and they also left one after another. Soon, only Li Kun and Wu Nian, two officials appointed by the imperial court, were left in this hall.
"Brother Xian. What are your plans? Li Kun also wanted to escape, but his relationship with Wu Nian was really good, and he had some confidence in Wu Nian, and after struggling for a long time, he raised his head and asked Wu Nian.
Wu Nian looked at Li Kun, the expression on his face finally changed a little, and he said sincerely: "Brother." Now that's just what I've heard. It's true. Fake. We don't know how many Mengyuan people there are, and whether the north has been cleaned up. Beishan Fort is impregnable by me, and it can be safe for a while. Even if the situation is unfavorable, you will not be too late. ”
Wu Nian couldn't promise Li Kun that the next battle would definitely be hard.
He's not a god, and there's no guarantee that he'll always win.
He only believed that Yan Han would not be defeated and would win in the end.
Li Kun was disappointed when he heard this. After his face changed for a long time, he let out a long sigh, stood up and hugged Wu Nian and said, "Brother." It's not that my brother doesn't believe you. It's just that what Wu Dangkou said just now was right. Under the nest, there are no eggs. I can't ignore my family. ”
After saying that, Li Kun hugged Wu Nian again, and then turned around and left.
But when he walked to the door, Li Kun stopped, turned back to Wu Nian and said, "Brother." I know your abilities, your martial arts. But our brothers, listen to the advice of our brothers, and if you can't do anything, you must be decisive. Hurry up. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Kun hugged his fists again, and then left.
Wu Nian opened his mouth, but in the end he let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more.
When disaster comes, everyone has their own aspirations.
Wu Nian doesn't blame Li Kun either. Although they are brothers, Li Kun has no talent or courage, and he has to take care of his family.
For him, staying in the unfathomable place of Liaodong is better than going south to cross the sea and go to the state of Chu.
"Hahaha." Zhang Jin suddenly laughed, his laughter was full of pride. Wu Nian turned his head to look at Zhang Jin, his eyes thoughtful.
Tie Niu, Liu Wu, Li Yong and the others were all inexplicable, looking up at Zhang Jin.
"Please take a seat." Zhang Jin suddenly stopped laughing, took a step and moved his body to Wu Nian, bent down and saluted.
Tie Niu, Liu Wu and others woke up, and all the officials in Beishan Fort ran out. Wu Nian, a small banner, was automatically promoted to become a hundred households in Beishan Fort.
"Please take a seat."
They also hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to Wu Nian.
"Hey." Wu Nian smiled. He was a little sentimental about Li Kun's departure, but the official's departure was over, which was very beneficial to him.
A hundred households is not a hundred, and now it is meaningless.
The presence of this group of officials will hinder his actions to a greater or lesser extent.
Now he is the real master of Beishan Fort.
He is not a hundred households, even if he is a hundred households, he can't say one or the other, and there is a general flag at the bottom.
He is the lord of the city.
"It doesn't make sense to have a hundred households or a hundred households." Wu Nian shook his head, then got up from his seat, came to the position of the hundred households and sat down, looked at everyone, and said, "Li Yong." You're still in charge of the logistics. ”
"Now we have three hundred decent soldiers. Brother (Zhang Jin), Liu Wu, and Tie Niu are each in charge of a hundred people, also known as a hundred households, and a general flag and a small flag are set up under it. ”
"Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, you are in charge of the militia."
"Then it's our time. In the end, it can be done. It is the horse lance in our hands and the soldiers under our command. ”
In the end, Wu Nian's voice was sonorous, and his eyes were shining with cold light.
"Yes."
The crowd had no extra words and simply bowed. Then Zhang Jin, Tie Niu, and Liu Wu sat on Wu Nian's left hand side, and Li Yong, Zhang Sheng, and Wang Gui sat on Wu Nian's right hand side.
"Nothing else to say. We did what we had to do. Lao Li. Wu Nian put his hands on his knees, sat upright like a javelin, and his eyes flashed on Li Yong's body.
"Lord Hyakunho." Li Yong respectfully hugged his fists.
"Organize people to help me harvest cotton outside the city. Other than that. Organize some people who can speak well, and if anyone flees through Beishan Fort, try to stay with them. But don't force it to stay, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Li Yong said yes.
Soon everyone went down, Wu Nian sat on the main seat, glanced at the empty hall, stood up with a sneer, and walked out with his head held high.
