Chapter 60: Township
In ancient times, most of the townships were fortified, and as long as the township gate was closed, it was a small fortress.
The target of Xintun's trip is Gubo Township, and the same is true.
It is located on a plain, surrounded by farmland, basically no mountains and hills, the area of the township is quite large, but it is surrounded by a wall more than one zhang high, if you want to enter, you can only go through the north and south two township gates.
If you go further east along Gubo Township, you can embark on the road to Fangcheng and Linle in the east, so this place is still very important, and you need to have a Qin army to garrison.
Fortunately, when Zhao Tuo led the army to arrive, the township gate of Gubo Township was not closed, and a group of Yanren dressed as heroes waited at the door, and began to act from afar.
"Bad luck, Naigong still thinks it's ......"
Halfway through the black buttocks' words, he suddenly found that Shiruma was looking at him coldly, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and he sneered: "It's really good, you can take this township without fighting, it seems that you can sleep comfortably tonight, hehehe." ”
Everyone held back their laughter, everyone knew what this guy meant.
"The three elders of the contemptible lonely uncle township are lonely and lonely, and greet the general."
At the gate of the township, the leading Yanren is an old man with a white beard, with a high crown and big sleeves, and a jade waist around him, which looks quite extravagant.
He put his posture very low, and to Zhao Tuo, a teenager, he opened his mouth as a "general" and "step".
Behind Gu Ze, the other nobles of Gu Bo Township also greeted them, and when they lowered their heads, they glanced at the weapons in Qin Jun's hands, and their faces were full of fear.
Zhao Tuo stepped forward with a smile, held Gu Ze's hand, and said, "Don't be polite to the elders." Our department was ordered to take over the defense of Gubo Township, and we will need a lot of assistance from the elders in the future, so we don't have to excuse ourselves. ”
As soon as Zhao Tuo spoke, Gu Ze's eyes lit up.
This young man is very old-fashioned, obviously he is leading troops to occupy the township, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he only mentions taking over the defense, as if his lonely hometown belongs to the Qin State.
In this way, Gu Ze and the others have a little less sense of humiliation caused by surrendering, and they have enough face.
When Gu Ze first saw that this tun chief was a teenager, he was still very worried. Young people are arrogant, if they are enthusiastic, regardless of their own surrender, they will cut off their heads for military merits if they come up directly, then they will be miserable.
Now seeing Zhao Tuo speaking kindly, he suddenly relaxed, and what particularly caught his attention was Zhao Tuo's accent.
"General, is it Zhao?" Gu Ze cautiously tempted.
"Yes, yes. My name is Zhao Tuo, and my ancestors are also the princes of Zhao State. Now that I am serving as a commander in the army, I can't afford to be called a general, and the elders call me by name. Please rest assured, as long as you cooperate with our military affairs, the township will be fine. ”
Zhao Tuo said with a smile, his expression was very gentle.
In the township of this era, most of them are living together, this Gu Ze is not only the three elders in the city, but also the patriarch of the big clan in the township, they outsiders want to stay here with peace of mind, this kind of township old people must be the first to make friends.
"That's nature, nature, please rest assured Zhao Jun, I will restrain the township and will never bring trouble to all the strong men."
Gu Ze was full of smiles, although Zhao Tuo asked him to call his name, but how dare he, at least he had to bring the word "Jun".
However, this tun chief is actually a nobleman of the Zhao State, and even the Zhao people who have a feud with the Qin State can be a military official in the Qin army with peace of mind, and it seems that they, the Yan people who surrendered on their own initiative, will not suffer any misfortune.
Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Ze's face became brighter and brighter.
"You strong men have come from afar, they must be hungry, the old man has prepared wine and food at home, and invited him into the city to eat."
Gu Ze stretched out his hand and warmly invited Zhao Tuo and the Qin army behind him to enter the township.
The township chiefs behind him also stammered and said, "All the strong men, please enter the township." ”
In a few words, this lonely township completed the process of transferring from Yan State to Qin State.
However, Zhao Tuo did not immediately lead the team into the township, he turned his head to look at the five chiefs behind him.
Shima, Black Buttocks, Xiaobai, Xi Qigu, and a public scholar named You.
"Xiaobai, you take someone to guard this door, pay attention to vigilance."
Zhao Tuo issued an order, and when he first arrived, he naturally had to guard the township gate before he could advance and retreat freely.
Xiaobai responded: "Only." ”
The black buttocks smacked their lips and shouted, "Tun Chief, there is a south gate, let me take someone there." ”
Zhao Tuo glared at him, he didn't feel at ease with the nature of this black ass.
But the rest of the Shima is his hardcore, meticulous and observant, Xi Qigu is familiar with the affairs of the township, and the two of them can help with them.
After hesitating, Zhao Tuo asked Gong Shiyou to take a group of people to guard the south gate. Although this chief has no talent, he is at least an obedient master, which is much more reassuring than the black buttocks.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo specifically instructed them not to start disputes easily, just guard the two township gates.
Xiaobai and Yu promised to go.
Gu Ze heard that Zhao Tuo had sent people to guard the two township gates.
A flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he was worthy of being a village elder, his face remained unchanged, and he still said enthusiastically: "Zhao Jun is delicate, he will have a future in the future." However, the local swallows were all ...... King Yan summoned to Jicheng, there is no danger around, Zhao Jun can rest assured. ”
Zhao Tuo smiled: "It's better to be careful." However, the soldiers of the King of Yan were all summoned to Jicheng, which made the general worry-free. A few days later, the general led the army to arrive in person, and just finished Jicheng in a pot. ”
"Yes, yes, the general's prestige, we have also heard of it."
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words mention Wang Qian's army, Gu Ze and the others became more and more frightened, and respectfully invited Zhao Tuo and the Qin army in the rear to enter the township.
……
In the courtyard of the township, there are people singing in the passionate voice, and the voice is poignant and tragic.
A teenager rushed into the hospital.
"Brother Song, Brother Song."
"The Qin army has entered the township, Ah Weng asked me to tell you to hide so that you don't be discovered by the Qin army."
The singing stopped, but the sound was still stirring.
Song Yi looked at the young man in front of him and said coldly.
"You're still surrendering to Qin."
The young man blushed and said: "Ah Weng said that the Qin army is strong, and the Yan State will definitely be destroyed, if you don't take advantage of this time to switch to the Qin State, our clan will definitely be destroyed." ”
Song Yi's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Annihilation? The king of Qin was brutal, the Qin law was harsh, and the whole clan was affected at every turn. Even if you vote for the Qin State, will you guarantee that you will not violate the Qin law and become a prisoner in the future, and there will be no catastrophe at that time? ”
"Hmph, instead of stealing a life at this time, it is better to fight with those Qin people, and it will not be in vain for the blood of my Yandi man!"
