Chapter 47 County Raiders (5)
Late at night, in the county seat, a scout desperately slammed on the door.
The guards on duty on the tower of the city gate were sleeping soundly, when they were suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and got up and looked down the city tower with a curse:
"Knock what knock! Your family is dead, and you are in a hurry to report the funeral! ”
The scout below drank anxiously: "Of course, it is a funeral!" Great mourning! General Chang's entire army was wiped out! ”
"Fart! What did you say? What did you just say? ”
"Hurry up and open the door! If you delay the big thing, you just wait to die! ”
"Wait, I'll be right away"
Several soldiers were called up and hurried downstairs to open the door.
A quarter of an hour later, the county government house.
Lord Zhou was working the concubine, and suddenly there was a quick knock on the door.
Lord Zhou was already a little physically exhausted, and he was done immediately.
Lord Zhou was immediately furious: "Bastard! Who told you to come at this time! The old must castrate you! You won't be able to climb into your wife's bed for the rest of your life! ”
The people outside the door were startled when they heard this, and no one dared to answer, so they put the scout at the door and gave a few words, turned around and ran.
This Lord Zhou is a bad temper, cautious, and very vindictive, and everything that offended him has been repaired by him.
For example, the Hutchison pawnshop in the east of the city, because there were fewer birthday gifts for the county magistrate's birthday, but the Zhou adults took a fake and took five thousand taels of silver, and the shopkeeper of the Hutchison pawnshop was not convinced, and ran to the county town Xiangping to sue him, and was finally sentenced to frame the court officials, and the house was copied to the point that there was not a dime left, and the wife and children were slaves and prostitutes, and the family was ruined
For another example, the patrol leader in the county disobeyed his order, relented for a while, and did not arrest the person who was let by the county commander, three months ago, the Yellow Turban Army made a fierce fuss, and was accused of fornicating with the Yellow Turban Army by the county commander, and was beheaded on the spot, and the family was ruined.
In short, if you offend the county magistrate Zhou in Yudi County, it will not be far from death, not only will you die, but your family will also have to be unlucky, there is no way, there are people above you.
This time it is obviously a good thing to ruin the county order Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou is angry, I don't know how to rectify people, who dares to be here?
So, the people all ran away, and only a scout who was anxious to wait for the word to pass the word was waiting here.
After a while, the door opened, and Master Zhou came out in rags, and it was not said that he kicked the scout at the door, and scolded while kicking back:
"It's a good thing to call you a dog! It's a good thing to call you a bad dog! I must castrate you today! ”
The scout was so anxious that he was kicked a little inexplicably, but he still quickly pleaded: "My lord, the villain has something important to report!" 100,000 urgent! General Chang, he's dead! ”
"Dead is dead, what's the big deal, what's more important than an old errand? You shit, see if I don't kick you to death! Wait a minute? What did you say? You repeat? ”
"My lord, General Chang died in battle!" The scout said excitedly
"You shit, why didn't you say it earlier! The surname Chang died? That's a good thing! Let him always go against me! General Chang is dead, let those soldiers come back quickly! Recently, the Yellow Turban Army has made a fierce fuss, and the defense of the county is tight! ”
The scout said with some puzzlement: "My lord, General Chang and his subordinates have all been wiped out in Bainiling, and there may be no living people except for his subordinates!" ”
"What! All dead? When Zhou heard the county order, he immediately fainted.
The people around him hurriedly came up and woke him up.
After Zhou Xianling woke up, his eyes were glazed: "What you said is true?" Go, take me to see, no, I'll send someone with you to see! ”
A moment later, several fast horses came out of the west gate.
Three hours later, when the sky was bright, several fast horses returned from the west.
In the county office, Lord Zhou looked ahead with dull eyes, and the few people sent to check on him vomited when they came back.
White mud ridge, hell on earth.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Shaoyou sat in the small black room, motionless, and did not sleep all night.
Qin Ling knocked on the door with a can of soup and a bowl of porridge:
"General, it's time to eat."
No response. Qin Ling was not discouraged, and continued:
"General, how can there be immortals in this war, don't take it to your heart, you think, how many people did we kill when we were fighting the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou?
You didn't blink an eye at that time, and everyone in Jizhou knew that you were a famous young demon, and killing these thousand people was nothing now. ”
There was still no movement in the house.
"General, just open the door and eat something, the brothers are waiting very anxiously, if you don't eat, we won't be able to eat!"
"General, didn't you say that you want to lead me to build a beautiful homeland, where everyone can marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby;
To lead us across the world, to sweep away all the dirt under the world, to guard our homes with our blood and lives,
Can our loved ones, our grandchildren, live happily and healthily without suffering from war?
Have you forgotten everything? The brothers are waiting for that day!
Since following the general, all of us are no longer just walking corpses playing with our lives for the next meal,
Every time we face a desperate situation, we are full of confidence, and every time we cross the field, we are full of pride.
It is because we all believe that the general will lead us to defeat the enemy and survive in a desperate situation! ”
"General, open the door and eat something, Ang!"
Qin Ling waited for a long time, but there was still no response.
At this time, many people came in from outside the door, densely crowded in the courtyard, and those who couldn't fit climbed up the courtyard wall to look at the small black house in the courtyard.
Qin Ling glanced at the brothers, everyone nodded knowingly, and then collectively shouted:
"General, we are willing to follow the general across the world and swear to the death! And please don't abandon us! General, come out to eat! ”
Three hundred men saluted on one knee in order, and the people on the wall jumped down and saluted outside, meticulously.
The loud voice resounded in the sky of Liujia Village, the whole village shook, people came to the streets one after another, yesterday's battle, those strong men have already told everyone,
Everyone is silent,
Seeing such a scene today, they were deeply shocked, maybe this teenager can lead them to a different future.
"Squeak!" The door of the small black room opened, and Zhuang Shaoyou walked out neatly dressed, his eyes were a little black, but his expression was calm,
The long black hair is actually a little gray, compared to the original young frivolity, now it looks more vicissitudes, and the eyes are more profound, as if it can see through a thousand years.
Zhuang Shaoyou walked slowly under the gaze of everyone, every step was firm, and then stopped and said:
"Thank you, brothers, for your hard work!" After speaking, he gave a deep salute.
"Serve the general, never give up!"

The county government of the county
The county magistrate Zhou was anxious to circle around the house, while muttering to himself:
"How's that for good? Why did they all die all at once? Is it possible to meet a ghost?
There is no one who even knows the real situation, can this point of people in the city be able to hold on?
My family is all here, if I can't keep it, won't it be dead?
Help? No, no, if something so big happens, I can't escape responsibility, report it, the best outcome is dismissal, well, you must hide it first! ”
"Someone!"
"The subordinates are here!" ……
"Got it? Go, if they don't die, you have to die! ”

Late at night, Liujia Village
"Report to the general, a fire suddenly broke out at dusk in the county seat, but it was quickly extinguished, and the specific situation is unknown."
"Huh? Revisit! ”
"Yes!"
"Wait! Pass my orders, gather all the cavalry, and follow me to the county seat. ”
Half an hour later, two hundred cavalry roared towards the northeast county seat.
As soon as the sky was bright, Zhuang Shaoyou led people quietly to the south gate of Yuqi County
Looking from afar, there was no movement on the city wall, Zhuang Shaoyou personally ran to a close place to observe, and found that there was no patrol on the city wall, so he was a little puzzled, and quickly sent someone to check around.
The report said that there were no defenders on the city wall, the east and north gates were open, and many people were fleeing, including officials and soldiers, and civilians.
Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that something has happened in the city, no matter what, he must go in and take a look, if he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger?
What's more, it looks like an empty city, and it can't be an empty city plan at all.
Half an hour later, when they came to the east gate, which was wide open, the people who were out of the gate saw a troop of horsemen who had come and were terrified, some of them running into the city, and some of them running out.
Zhuang Shaoyou ignored them, and led people towards the city gate at full speed, as long as he entered the city gate, even if he won half of the victory.
When everyone entered through the east gate, they did not encounter any obstacles, and the people in the county town fled for their lives and hid when they saw a group of cavalry coming.
Zhuang Shaoyou asked people to "invite" someone to ask, and after a while, Qin Ling came back with a scholar-like person
The scholar had a bit of backbone, he didn't immediately kneel down and beg for mercy, and the second was to stand by and watch Zhuang Shaoyou, although he was a little apprehensive, but he was quite calm.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, I just wanted to ask what's going on here? Did you know? ”
"General, I don't know what the specific situation is, but I heard that there were sudden fires in several places in the county last night, and then I saw the brigade of men and horses rushing out of the city from the north gate, and the fire in the county government was quickly extinguished.
Then at dawn, many rich people ran out with softness, and everyone didn't know what the situation was, and some people began to run out, and some people came out to see the excitement, such as me. ”
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he smiled, this is a good thing! It seems that the dog official in Yuqi County has run away, probably because he was frightened.
Since this is the case, then you are welcome, you have a county seat for nothing, such a good thing is not every day!
But before that, you have to make sure that there are no officers and soldiers in the city.
Zhuang Shaoyou ordered: "Qin Ling, you can arrange three things:
1. Send people to the city to investigate the situation everywhere;
Second, send someone to Liujia Village to gather the brothers, and Minzhuang will stay there for the time being;
3. Take over the gates and close them. ”
Then, Zhuang Shaoyou led someone to politely "invite" the scholar to the county office.
There is no one in the county office, and there are traces of just being burned, but the burn is not serious, and it can still be used.
The scholar followed Zhuang Shao nervously and swam in, scolding himself for being cheap, and running out to see what was going on when he had nothing to do, which is good.
It is estimated that this group of people is a rebel party of the Yellow Turban Army, and they will coerce themselves for a while, if they obey, they will be rebellious from thieves, and if they don't, they will definitely die immediately.
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at the scholar with a smile and said, "In Xia Zhuang Shaoyou, haven't you asked this gentleman's name yet?" ”
The scholar hurriedly replied: "Under Wu Decai, there is a good word in a single name." After speaking, he looked at Zhuang Shaoyou with some embarrassment
Zhuang Shaoyou almost squirted out, how did he come up with this name? But he held back, and continued:
"Brother Decai, I see that you are a scholar, can you ask you to ghostwrite a notice for the people?"
When Wu Liang heard this, he sighed, and sure enough, he was hesitating whether to sacrifice his life for righteousness or lie down and taste his courage?
Zhuang Shaoyou seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "Brother Decai doesn't have to be embarrassed, now this county is in chaos, which is not good for the people, so I hope that Brother Decai drafts this notice to stabilize the people's hearts, which is a good thing!"
If Brother Decai is unwilling, after drafting the book, he can still go home, I will not stop it, I will treat today's events as if nothing had happened, and outsiders will not know, what do you think? ”
Then Wu Liang was a little dumbfounded, this is too intimate, right? If I were a woman, would I be unable to help but fall in love with him?
