Chapter 121: Dragon and Tiger Landscape III

"Ignition..."

"Throw it out..."

When the founding of the country was used, the old-fashioned earth mines made of clay pots were limited, and they could only be used at fixed points, and the new earth mine craftsmen wrapped a layer of light mud on the outside of the clay pots, although they weighed a little more, but they could be used at any time during the battle, and threw them to kill and injure the enemy from a long distance.

'Boom, boom...'

Thirty earth mines were all thrown into the camp of the She people, and these people cried for their fathers and mothers, and the people in front of the stone workshop were dumbfounded.

"When did my official army become so well-equipped?" Even if an official is as big as Shi Gui, such questions still arise.

"Big brother, the firearms of the officers and soldiers are so fierce." Zhang Ru said in surprise.

Zhang Xianyong shook his head: "It is impossible for the local guard station to have such equipment and combat effectiveness, father, you see, the march of the team under the siege of three sides is orderly, which is like the local guard army in Jiangxi, could it be..."

Zhang Guoxiang frowned, his thoughts coincided with Zhang Xianyong, but now he was anxious about which place the team came: "Come here, immediately go back to the mountain and order the disciples to prepare wine, meat and food to entertain reinforcements." ”

"Zhangjiao..."The middle-aged Taoist priest who had led the way earlier walked up the mountain quickly, and after the battle began, he rushed from the path to the mountain, and he was also surprised that the battle with the reinforcements he had seen before who did not even have a pair of armor was so ferocious.

Zhang Ru whispered: "Big brother, it's Uncle Zhang..."

Zhang Guoxiang looked at the Taoist priest who came up and asked, "Who is here?" ”

The Taoist priest spoke: "Zhangjiao, the person who came is Ding Wubo, who came to the rescue with his new army..."

Zhang Xianyong frowned: "Sure enough, it's him..."

Zhang Ru thought about it for a while before reacting: "Big brother, isn't that lewd thief..."

"Shut up..."Zhang Xianyong scolded sharply: "If these words are heard by my father, you will have to be on your board, Ding Wubo is a nobleman of the dynasty, be polite when you see someone, don't think that you are still in the mansion of the grandfather." ”

"Oh..."Zhang Ru has never seen her eldest brother angry, and she is scared of her resignation...

Chen Cao stretched his neck to look over, and saw that the camp of the She people had been encircled on three sides, and when he was about to give the order, the herald in front came on horseback: "Uncle, Captain Huang and Deputy Head Lou have two knives to kill." ”

"Send an order to Lu Xiangsheng, if the She people surrender, stop the two of them from killing." Chen Cao shouted.

"Yes..."

In front of the stone workshop, a group of people looked at two unknown generals wielding elongated knives and broadswords and riding into the camp to fight against the She people, and couldn't help but sigh that there were still these fierce generals in the official army.

Zhou Chengming nodded again and again, and flattered Shi Gui: "Fuzun, it seems that the imperial court still attaches great importance to the safety of Lord Fuzun, you see, how hard it is to come to people to relieve the siege." ”

Flattery is easy to use in anyone, not to mention bureaucrats in remote places, Shi Gui is very useful: "Well, give an order, let Liu Qianhu take the people of the headquarters to help in the war." ”

"Yes..."

Even if Huang Degong and Lou Xingye did not engage in a white-knuckle battle, it would be a matter of time before they surrendered, and after nearly 400 people were killed and wounded, the leading She people could no longer bear it, and immediately threw the weapons in their hands on the ground and knelt down to surrender.

Huang Degong immediately commanded the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Tie up all these people and wait for the uncle to fall." ”

"Regiment commander," the herald arrived: "There are many officers and soldiers of the guard post coming down from the mountain. ”

"The dog wants to fight for merit, come to people, block them..."Huang Degong scolded.

Without Huang Degong's orders, Lou Xingye, who saw that the situation was wrong, immediately rushed over with people, and then ordered his subordinates to raise their guns at the guards who were running and wanted to grab the merit.

"The guards in front of them will stop immediately, and if they dare to attack our army's position, they will be killed..."

The hundreds of households who took the lead were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and Liu Qianhu, who led the team, saw that the situation was wrong, and then stretched out his hand to order the troops to stop, and then said: "Don't misunderstand the brothers on the other side, we are here to help..."

Lou Xingye sneered, and then responded: "I don't need your help, stop and go back immediately, if you break into our army's position, you will be killed." ”

was so frightened by Lou Xingye, Liu Qianhu, who led the team, could only retreat stupidly.

"Uncle..."Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse to Chen Cao: "Uncle, I have arrested the leader of the She people, and all the others have been tied up and detained." ”

Chen Cao was not in a hurry to mention the leader, so he ordered: "Let a captive go back and tell their patriarch that if they want to fight, we will accompany them, and if they want to negotiate peace, let them come to Benbo." ”

"Yes..."

The position was cleared for two hours, and after the processing was completed, Shi Gui, who had been waiting for a long time in front of Shifang, immediately walked down with the relevant personnel, and saw the person wearing an earl's uniform on a war horse in front of him, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Shigui, the prefect of Xiaguan Guangxin, I don't know which uncle is in front of you?" ”

Zhao Xin rode forward in a scarlet flying fish suit, and said in a straight voice: "This is Uncle Dingwu." ”

Shi Gui raised his eyebrows, but he knew that Chen Cao was fine, if he calculated carefully, Shi Gui was also related to the Donglin Party, so he gave his hand: "I've seen Uncle Dingwu..."

Only then did Chen Cao speak: "Shi Zhifu, how is the situation on the mountain?" ”

Shi Gui bowed slightly: "Qi Ding Wubo, the mountain is safe, with the protection of Zhang Tianshi, I and other Guangxin officials will be safe." ”

Zhang Guoxiang's status is noble, even if he sees the emperor, he can not kneel, not to mention that Zhang Tianshi in the past dynasties is still a national teacher canonized by the imperial court, Chen Cao dismounted, and walked towards Shifang with a cadre of brocade guards and guards, and personally visited Zhang Guoxiang.

When he got closer, Chen Cao recognized Zhang Xianyong and Zhang Ru in Nanjing at a glance, they were both standing beside the white-bearded old man, thinking that this person was Zhang Guoxiang.

"Master Zhang, this lord is polite." Chen Cao arched his hand towards Zhang Guoxiang according to etiquette.

Zhang Guoxiang pinched his hand and returned the salute: "I've seen Uncle Dingwu... Ding Wubo came from afar, today's battle array was over, and the poor road was grateful, and he had ordered someone to arrange wine and food in the house, and asked Ding Wubo to appreciate his face. ”

"You're polite," Chen Cao arched his hand: "When I first arrived at Longhu Mountain, since Zhang Tianshi prepared warmly, Benjue naturally didn't dare to refuse, and asked Zhang Tianshi to lead the way." ”

"Xianyong, lead the way..."

...

Heavenly masters in the past dynasties can marry wives, even if they drink, it's no problem, but it's different from everyone's personality, for example, Zhang Xianyong doesn't drink, and tea is used on the table instead of wine to toast Chen Cao.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Guoxiang was about to speak, and Chen Cao asked first: "I don't know which one is Zhou Chengming, the magistrate of Guixi?" ”

When Zhou Chengming heard Chen Cao ask himself, he immediately became a spirit, and quickly stood up and arched his hand towards Chen Cao: "Uncle Dingwu, the next official is Zhou Chengming, the magistrate of Guixi..."

Chen Cao looked up and down and said: "Ben Bo came to quell the rebellion on the order of the Duke of Wei State of Nanzhili Garrison, and asked the local government what was going on with the Sheren rebellion. ”

Zhou Chengming was infinitely frightened, and hurriedly bowed down: "Please Ding Wubo show me." ”

"Benbo asks you, why do the Yi people in Luxi and Yuexi have a dispute?" Chen Cao asked in a positive voice.

Zhou Chengming said: "The mountain people of the two places competed for the prey on the border mountain, so there was a dispute, and the lower officials immediately sent the county Cheng Shiquan to deal with it after learning the news, but the mountain people of the two places killed the official because they felt that the disposal was unfair, and then the two gangs fought, and finally..."

"Okay," Chen Cao interrupted Zhou Chengming's words, and then looked at the prefect Shi Gui: "Prefect Shi, you do it yourself..."

Shi Gui was a little embarrassed, but there was no problem with his actions on the surface: "The She people surrounded Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Tianshi's safety is the responsibility of the lower officials as the prefect of Guangxin, but the guards in Guangxin are indeed too few, and they really have to go to the nearby Raozhou Mansion if they want to transfer troops." ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at Zhang Guoxiang: "I'm really embarrassed to talk about business at Zhang Tianshi's banquet." ”

Zhang Guoxiang pinched the trick and laughed: "The affairs of the court are important, if you don't say it here, where can you say it?" Hahaha..."

Chen Cao smiled, Zhou Chengming's matter was to be dealt with by the Nanjing Ministry in the future, he was only here to relieve the siege this time, and he was not a minister or governor of the Qin Mission, so he was not qualified to deal with civil officials: "Don't be nervous, the main purpose of this time is to solve the siege, and then to understand the truth of the matter and then report it, as for the final disposal, it is a matter of the upper face, and this is not clear." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as long as Chen Cao was not serious, and with the routine of Emperor Tiangao, he sent a sum of money to the people who were inspecting above, and the matter would be let go.

"But..."Chen Cao gasped as he spoke: "The looting of Guixi County by the She people is very important, and it is not something that can be settled with money, so you can do it yourself..."

The expressions of the two changed again, Zhang Guoxiang felt that the atmosphere was very bad, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "Dingwu Bo came from afar, my Longhu Mountain is the most glorious, Dingwu Bo will live and rest in my Longhu Mountain for a few days, so that the poor road can do more landlord friendship." ”

"You're welcome... Hahaha..."Chen Cao laughed, and then raised his glass to drink with Zhang Guoxiang.

...

"The air in Longhu Mountain is indeed better than that in Jinling," Chen Cao stood outside the side wing of the backyard of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, where the door was opened to a guardrail near the cliff, and the abyss was in the distance below: "It is indeed a good place to recuperate here." ”

Zhao Xin also leaned over: "Uncle, Master Zhang Xiaotian is here." ”

Zhao Xin retreated, Zhang Xianyong approached with Zhang Ru, and pinched very politely: "Uncle Dingwu, don't come to harm..."

"I've seen Dingwubo." Zhang Ru reluctantly saluted Chen Cao under Zhang Xianyong's signal.

Chen Cao smiled, and then nodded: "Little Heavenly Master, Jinling is goodbye, has it been a year or two?" ”

"Ding Wubo has a good memory, it's been more than two years." Zhang Xianyong said with a smile: "When Uncle Ding Wu got married, Grandpa Guo also sent someone to the mountain to get some pills and send them to Uncle Ding Wu, I don't know if the pills were ever useful?" ”

Chen Cao's eyes changed, and he looked at Zhang Xianyong with an evil smile: "The alchemy technique of the Little Heavenly Master's family is really powerful, I just ate that one, hey, it's amazing... It's amazing..."

Zhang Ru knew what the two of them were talking about, her face turned red, and then she whispered: "Adulterous thief..."
