Wang Yu was injured in twelve places all over his body, none of which were fatal, and he was even alive after being captured.

It can only be said that his armor is awesome enough.

Wang Yu was held in solitary confinement, and his son Wang Xun was taken to see Li Bao.

Li Bao opened his mouth and said: "You come to lead the troops to defend the city, and it is strictly forbidden for the soldiers to plunder the people. ”

"Huh?"

Wang Xun thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He was only a prisoner, not even a general, let alone a surrender.

didn't engage in any drama of personally loosening the ties, corporal Lixian, and persuasion with good words, what the hell did he directly let him lead troops to defend the city?

Li Bao was too lazy to go around the bend, and said honestly: "I don't have many soldiers in my hands, so I left some to garrison Kuimen, and the rest of the soldiers have to attack Zigui." That is, I did not have the strength to guard the prisoners. Either you lead the captives to defend the city and restrain them from doing evil, or I will kill thousands of them. Take your pick! ”

How else can you choose?

As long as Wang Xun doesn't say a word, thousands of heads will fall to the ground.

Wang Xun couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, aren't you afraid that I will lead the troops to fight again?" ”

Li Bao said: "If you want to die, it's up to you." I will take all the captured armor with me, and only leave weapons for Ling Zun's own soldiers. You can escape, and you have the ability to lead the troops to swim to Zigui. You can also defend the city, anyway, you can bring food every half a month, and see how many days you can live without food. Also, Ling Zun will be escorted to Kuimen! ”

Wang Xun was speechless in an instant.

The next morning, Li Bao really led the troops away, leaving no soldiers, as if he had never been to Wushan.

No, there are some military rations left.

Wang Xun stood at the head of the city and watched Li Bao go away, as if he had a dream.

His father's own soldiers, the weapons are still there, but the armor has been stripped away.

The rest of the captives were all empty-handed, no different from ordinary people.

Then, Wang Xun wanted to take these soldiers to defend the city, and he was to help the thieves defend the city. He is also a magistrate, and those unarmored soldiers are the foundation of his rule over Wushan City.

There is simply not enough food, and the people have to be relieved.

Li Bao said that he would bring in food regularly to ensure that the soldiers and civilians would not starve to death.

Don't starve, that's all.

Therefore, Wang Xun's main job is to suppress the soldiers not to grab food, eat porridge every day and hang himself, and wait for the end of the war.

What the is this called!

There was no way to escape, at most they fled to Daning Jian (Wuxi County) further north, and then there were mountains that were difficult to climb.

To the north and then to the east, there are also mountain villages, and you can go to Padang over the mountains and mountains, but Padang is the direction of Li Bao's army. And at most to Patong, further east can only take a boat.

The waterway in the east and west directions, Qutang Gorge in the west, Wu Gorge in the east, and Xiling Gorge in the distance.

Wang Xun can also try to dismantle the houses to make rafts, and see if he can take the whole army to paddle across the Three Gorges.

Also, his father was taken away, obviously as a hostage!

Li Bao's fleet disappeared completely, and Wang Xun and a group of pro-soldiers stared at each other.

"We're thieves?" A pro-soldier officer said confusedly.

Wang Xun was also unsure: "There are no thieves, right?" It's just to help the thieves guard the city. ”

Everyone was speechless.

Wang Xun said to his soldiers: "Remember, from today onwards, you must strictly abide by military orders. They must not plunder the people, especially those who have been disarmed, and they are forbidden to harass the people, and it is better to keep them in the barracks and not let them out. Every time the thieves brought in food, they had to give some to the people. All departments are not allowed to withhold, and the officers and non-commissioned officers will be hungry together, and they will definitely not die of hunger. ”

A pro-soldier complained: "It's not like this for us to work for the imperial court, and it's already disciplined not to loot along the way." Now help the thieves defend the city, but they have to go hungry to help the people. ”

Wang Xun said: "If you don't listen to the thief, you and I will all die here." ”

An officer suggested: "It is better to go to Daning to collect grain, and the villages on both sides of the Daning River can also get some grain, which is better than staying in the county seat and starving." ”

Wang Xun said angrily: "You want to kill the whole army? What is the difference between robbing the villagers along the river and robbing the people in the city? When the thief will return to the division to kill, he will definitely kill all the officers and soldiers to vent his anger! ”

As a result, a group of officers and soldiers with poor military discipline came to suppress thieves. Now he honestly helps the thieves to defend the city, and has become strict in military discipline, and he has to distribute food to help the people when he is hungry.

During this period, there were officers who withheld the rations of the corporals under their command.

A group of soldiers made a fuss, and Wang Xun immediately killed the officer, so that the disgruntled soldiers vented their anger.

The wealthy households in the city were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they were afraid that the officers and soldiers would turn their faces from hunger, so they joined forces with the armor chief to form a citizen arm.

Every time grain was brought from Kuizhou, the local militia would carry the grain ashore and then negotiate with the officers and soldiers for distribution.

Soon a third force appeared, caused by the collusion of the wealthy to protect the armor chief, and to encroach on the people's rations during the distribution of grain. Several green-skinned gangsters connected the neighborhood, beat the chief to death, and grabbed the food and were pressed by Wang Xun and his troops.

The more the news spread, the more evil it became, saying that the officers and soldiers had colluded with the rich and the chief of security to seize all the people's rations.

Craftsmen and shopkeepers with a little insight led the civilians to form an armed group and killed more than a dozen wealthy families and security chiefs, and some even took the opportunity to insult women.

Wang Xun once again sent troops to suppress the bombs, causing a scuffle, and the soldiers and civilians added up to hundreds of casualties.

When the grain transport team learned the news, the next time the grain was delivered, it would bring a strand of Wang Yu's hair.

Wang Xun was shocked and angry, and sent people to post notices throughout the city, who dared to encroach, withhold, and rob grain again, not only the whole family would be beheaded, but also sit in five neighborhoods in a row. Every fifth household is organized into a class to supervise each other, and the whistleblower can be exonerated from the crime!

After cutting off more than 50 heads for public display, order in the city was finally stable.

Everyone is starving together, no one should toss, they can't starve to death anyway, and they will be relieved after the battle.

……

However, it was said that Li Bao led his troops to Badong County, and the county seat here was almost empty.

The city's inhabitants were sacked by Zhong Xiang, either fleeing to the countryside to beg for food, or going to the suburbs and forests to pick wild fruits and gnaw grass roots and bark for a living.

The food in Kuizhou is also limited, and it is not easy to relieve Wushan, and Li Bao, who is farther away, cannot manage it.

How much the people of Padang County can survive can only depend on their own creation.

Fortunately, the rice has already begun to tassel, and after two more months, you will be able to eat this year's new rice.

He led the troops to continue to the east and came to Zigui County, which is also the state capital of Guizhou.

It was later flooded by the Three Gorges Reservoir, and even the county seat was relocated further downstream.

Looking at the closed city gate, Li Bao was not depressed, but a little happy, which meant that he was not robbed by Zhong Xiang.

Rong Jue, the secretary of the military tent, volunteered again and came to the city as a messenger.

Yang Jie, the Taishou of Guizhou, hung the basket, hung Rong Jue to the city, and asked, "Your Excellency is an officer and soldier, or a thief?" ”

Rong Jue said: "We are the Sichuan Righteous Army, not any thief soldiers. ”

"As long as it's not a Jinghu thief." Yang Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Zhong Xiang ransacked Padang, some fishermen sneaked back to the river at night and floated downstream in small fishing boats.

Most of the thieves went into the city to ransack, and the remaining sailors did not find him.

This section of the river is not so dangerous, and the fishermen successfully fled to Zigui to report the news, and said to Taishou Yang Jie: "The Jinghu soldiers have rebelled, killing and robbing people in Badong County, and even the villages outside the city are robbed, and the government will quickly send troops to save it!" ”

Yang Jie was shocked, organized the people to move the military rations from outside the city into the city, and then closed the city gate to recruit young and strong people to defend it.

This is not only a grain and grass transfer station, but also hundreds of grain wagon troops.

Zhong Xiang led his troops to kill, tried to attack, and when he saw that the fight was not good, he left by boat.

Rong Jue said: "Jinghu officer Zhong Xiangbing rebelled, Wang Yu was defeated, and he led his troops to surrender to the righteous army. Do you still have to resist? ”

Yang Jie actually began to pull a relationship: "Lao Yu and Zhu Tanhua once had a relationship in the palace. Mrs. An, the concubine of Prime Minister Zhu, was sick, and she also came to the door for treatment. ”

Rong Jue was surprised: "Taishou can actually cure diseases? ”

Yang Jie stroked his beard and said: "Lao Yu used to be a imperial doctor, and because he cured the stubborn diseases of the official family, he was given the Jinshi background by His Majesty. ”

Yang Jie was appreciated by Song Huizong, not only because of his medical skills, but also because he was good at poetry and rhythm. Yang Jie's maternal uncle is called Zhang Lei, and he is one of the four scholars of Sumen.

By the way, Yang Jie is good at anatomy and has drawn a map of human internal organs!

He drew the esophagus, chest, abdomen, five organs, blood vessels, diaphragm, and so on. Unfortunately, it was lost due to the war, and only some written records were left in later generations.

Yang Jie recalled the past: "When the old man treated Mrs. An, he talked with Zhu Xianggong about medical skills. I never thought that Zhu Xianggong also knew medicine, and said that the heart beats and opens, and the blood of the whole body is pumped. Unfortunately, the chest cavity of a living person cannot be cut open for observation, and it can only be replaced by a dog. The old man killed more than a dozen dogs, and he was basically convinced that what Zhu Xianggong said was true. Zhu Xianggong is really a great talent, if he is a doctor, he must be a generation of famous doctors. ”

Rong Jue was stunned when he heard this, what is this?

Since Guizhou Taishou knows the general and the general, then the matter is easy to discuss.

Rong Jue echoed for a while and asked, "Taishou is willing to surrender the city?" ”

Yang Jiezheng said: "It's okay to dedicate the city, but you have to promise two points." ”

"Please speak too much." Rong Jue said busily.

Yang Jie said: "First, if you are a righteous army, you must not slaughter and rob the people; Second, I claimed that I was old and dead, and I couldn't let the court know that my family was still in Sizhou. ”

"Please rest assured!" Rong Jue was overjoyed.

Yang Jie ordered the city gate to be opened, and seeing that the righteous army had not committed any crime, he immediately had no doubts.

Li Bao heard that he had an old relationship with the Zhu family and his son, and his attitude became more respectful: "The younger generation has seen Taishou!" ”

Yang Jie asked, "Are you going to fight Yiling?" ”

Li Bao said: "Exactly. ”

Yang Jie said: "Yiling has no soldiers to defend, and it can be captured by sending sailors." Why didn't the general go north and climb over the mountains to take Fangzhou? ”

Li Bao was surprised: "Can you go to Fangzhou here?" ”

Yang Jie said: "There is a thousand-year-old road, and there are many beasts and miasma along the way. Outsiders are afraid of tigers, but in fact, it is not difficult to walk, and there are many mountain people living along the way. I have a soup recipe, which can be decocted in the morning and evening to prevent miasma. As for the beast, the general must not be afraid. ”

The horror of Shennongjia lies in the fact that it is easy to get lost, there are many wild beasts, the weather changes abruptly, and there are worries about miasma in ancient times.

90% of the ancient road from Zigui to Fangling follows the river valley, so it is not easy to get lost, and the climate change is not great, so you just need to guard against wild beasts and miasma.

Moreover, those river valleys are still inhabited by scattered mountain people, and it is not a no-man's land.
