Chapter 213: Cheng Yu

Dongjun, Dong'e County.

The county seat of Dong'e is almost empty.

The Montenegrin army of Jizhou surrounded Julu for several months, and spilled over to neighboring Yanzhou.

Faced with thousands of bandits coming west, Dong'e County Commander directly abandoned the city and fled, and even ran away with the county officials and clans, as if it had become an empty city without defense.

The only ones left were Cheng Yu, the commander of the cavalry, and the emperor who happened to be 'working' here.

In an ordinary house, under the eaves of the middle courtyard, Huangfu Jian looked at the direction of Yanzhou, still anxiously waiting for news.

Behind him stood Shi Ah and more than twenty guards of the Imperial City Mansion, glancing at each other from time to time.

The rebels outside the city could invade the city at any time, and their captain didn't seem to be worried at all.

Shi Ah waited for a while and said, "If you don't leave, it's too late." ”

Huangfu Jian came back to his senses and said to himself: "I don't know what the old man thinks, he really doesn't send reinforcements...... Which, Cheng Yu, is doing? ”

A guard stepped forward and said, "I'm cleaning up the softness, and it's estimated that I'm going to run away." ”

Huangfu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were different, and he said to himself: "It shouldn't be......"

Immediately, he turned around and walked out, and said, "Go out of the city first, and then see." If he did abandon the city, he would be crossed off the list. ”

"Yes." The guard replied.

A group of people went out of the city, and although they were dressed in civilian clothes, so many people were in groups, which was quite eye-catching.

Shi A held the sword, followed behind Huangfu Jianchang, and said, "Don't you defend the city?" ”

Huangfu Jian turned over and got on his horse, and looked at Shi Adao condescendingly with a puzzled expression: "What city am I guarding?" ”

Shi Ah frowned, followed the horse, and said, "Then what are you doing in Dong'e County?" ”

Huangfu Jian let out a long sigh and said, "Julu, I have to keep an eye on Yanzheng, right?" I have to keep an eye on Yanzhou, right? Qingzhou can't relax over there, right? Besides, Yuzhou is not far away, so I have to listen to it, right? ”

Shi A ignored Huangfu's long nonsense, and seeing that the city gate was imminent, he said: "If Dong'e is lost, Dongjun will be in trouble, aren't you afraid that the court will know about it and impeach you?" ”

Huangfu Jian sneered and said, "What if you know?" Can I still take more than 20 people to defend the city? ”

Shi Ah didn't bother to say more, and went out of the city gate one after the other with Huangfu Jianchang.

On the other side, Cheng Yu, the captain of the cavalry, was also packing up his things, taking a group of people and hurriedly going out.

Next to him was the head of the household, and seeing that Cheng Yu was still gloomy, he said: "Brother Cheng, you don't care about the county order, Wang Du is rebellious, the situation is critical, and the county order to remove the people is also the way to preserve." There are only two or three hundred county soldiers in Dong'e County, and they can't hold it at all. ”

Cheng Yu is tall and big, but he has a sparse octagonal beard, small eyes and a big nose, giving people a feeling of thief eyebrows.

He rode his horse, snorted coldly, and said: "If he is resolutely defending the city, plus the big households in the county, he can raise 2,000 people, it is not easy to defend the city, why run away?!" Now Dong'e County has become an empty city, the thieves are arrogant, I don't know how many people are suffering, wait for things to ease, I will impeach them to the imperial court! ”

The owner sighed and said no more.

Cheng Yu went out of the city, did not go far, stopped five or six miles away, gathered the officials, and observed the movements of the rebels.

Cheng Yu inspected back and forth, dispatched young and strong, and even couldn't wait to train them.

Xue Fang, the eldest surname in the city, saw his appearance, walked over, and said in a low voice: "Cheng Duwei, the county orders have run away, why do you bother?" ”

Cheng Yu snorted coldly and said, "With only 2,000 people, it scared his soul away, it's ridiculous!" ”

Xue Fang knew what Cheng Yu was going to do, glanced around, and said, "You can gather three or five hundred people at most, and you can't fight at all, so it's better to retreat and wait for the official army to arrive." ”

Cheng Yu looked at him and said, "The officers and soldiers everywhere get the news and send troops over, it will take at least four or five days, four or five days, and the thieves don't know how many lives they are going to kill!?" How can I sit idly by! ”

Xue Fang shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Cheng Yu didn't care about him, while selecting and transferring young and strong, he stared at the county seat, and sent people around to look for the county order.

In the evening, a horse came to report and said, "Captain Caidu, the rebellious king has entered the city with the thief." ”

Cheng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and said: "It's just an empty city, they can't loot anything, they will definitely withdraw and continue to stare at them!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier answered, and rode away.

Cheng Yu followed the people, and sent people to the villages around at night, wanting to win over more young people.

By noon the next day, Cheng Yu had already obtained 800 young men and simply trained them into soldiers, and at the same time, he also knew more about the situation of the rebels in Dong'e County.

He planned carefully, gathered the big and small officials and the big families Xue Fang together, looked at them, and said with a deep face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Du brought thousands of rebels, just to loot money and grain, and now that the city is empty, they will definitely not stay for long." As long as we take the opportunity to return, we have money, food, and people, and the walls are high, and we will be able to defend it with only 2,000 people, and it will be difficult to break through! When the county order returns, unite as one to defeat the rebels, it's right in front of you! ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned and stunned.

They were fleeing, so why did they want to kill them again?

The history of the official room hesitated and said: "Captain Caidu, there are two thousand rebels, and Wang Du knows us well, if one is not good, it is a dead end." ”

The head of the barracks said: "We are only 800 people in the full battle, but there are more than 2,000 bandits, and we can't take this risk." ”

The others also talked nonsense, all of them opposed Cheng Yu's strategy.

Cheng Yu's expression became more serious, and said: "The bandits have no roots and no foundation, as long as they take back the county seat and defend the city, within three days, the rebels will be defeated!" Ladies and gentlemen, Cheng Yu is willing to share this credit with you. ”

Everyone looked at Cheng Yu, turned their heads and whispered, but no one answered.

Xue Fang stared at Cheng Yu, but thought that his plan was feasible, and said: "The bandits have no food and grass, and it is approaching winter, as long as we stick to it, the bandits will definitely be defeated!" ”

The officials of Dong'e County hesitated and struggled, but did not say anything.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu's face turned pale, he stood up violently, and shouted: "Fools can't make big things!" ”

Immediately, he shook his hand and strode away.

"Are we fools? Who would dare to go along with your risk? ”

"Yes, it's an obvious dead end, you look for death, we don't want to die."

"This Cheng Yu is obviously a reckless man, who wants to die with him."

"That's right, we managed to escape with our lives......

Xue Fang was still sitting in place, listening to the words of a group of people, shook his head secretly, got up quietly, found Cheng Yu, and said solemnly: "Captain Qidu, I think you can give it a try!" ”

Cheng Yu's face was gloomy, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Mr. is willing to help me?" ”

Xue Fang is a big family in Dong'a, and he has a very critical grain!

Xue Fang raised his hand and said, "Dong Anai is our country, how can we give it up easily, what if we fight for this life?" ”

Cheng Yu's heart was moved, and he said: "Mr. righteousness, after passing the moment, I will play the court according to the truth!" ”

Xue Fang didn't care, but said: "Riding the captain, without delay, don't delay, if it's late, there will be changes!" ”

Cheng Yu nodded, glanced around, pulled Xue Fang to the side, and whispered a few words.

Xue Fang listened, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, Xue will act according to the plan!" ”

Seeing his approval, Cheng Yu beckoned a few people and said, "You ride horses and follow me to the highest mountain!" ”

"The villain takes the order!" Six soldiers answered without hesitation.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath, nodded to Xue Fang again, turned over on his horse, and strode away.

Xue Fang looked at his back, beckoned the others, gathered the eight hundred young people, and waited for him.

Cheng Yu rode a horse and galloped, without concealment, all the way to the highest mountain.

Dong'e County immediately found out, Wang Du immediately led his troops to chase after him, and at the same time said urgently: "They have thousands of officials and people, a lot of money and food, find them, we will not worry about winter!" ”

The bandits listened, like night cats that smelled fishy, running faster than Wang Du.

Cheng Yu looked back, came to the foot of the mountain, and abandoned his horse to go uphill.

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this mountain, there is a path down the mountain!" Cheng Yu walked up the mountain quickly and said at the same time.

Six soldiers responded, following him up the hill as fast as he could.

Wang Du and others thought that the escaped officials were hiding on this mountain, and they desperately chased after them, pouring into the mountains all over the mountains to find those officials and the money and food they brought.

Cheng Yu was familiar with the door, and quickly came to the top, looked at the direction of Xue Fang, and waved the flag.

Seeing this, Xue Fang, who had been waiting, immediately got on his horse and said urgently: "Quick, go back to the city!" ”

Xue Fang took the lead, without fear, eight hundred young and strong, and went straight to Dong'e City.

At this time, those bandits are still overwhelmingly going up the mountain, even if someone finds out, they can't care about it, they are all looking for the money and food they have in mind.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu immediately turned around and went down the mountain.

When Wang Du found out that something was wrong, when he turned back, not only Xue Fang had already entered the city, but Cheng Yu had also gone back.

The four doors were closed, and the eight hundred young men were waiting for them.

Wang Du gritted his teeth, where did he expect that this Cheng Yu would dare to turn back and return to Dong'e County!

"Siege! They must have money and food in their hands! Wang Du shouted.

He has colluded with the bandits, and there is no way out, and if he can't find any more money and food, the bandits will devour them alive.

More than 2,000 people rushed to the east gate.

They didn't have any siege equipment, no formation, no order, and rushed over in one go.

And Cheng Yu on the city gate, the eight hundred people also did not have much preparation, there were no bows and arrows, the swords and soldiers were all patchwork, and there were few pieces of armor.

The two sides are such a siege and a defender.

Wang Du shouted loudly below, desperately urging the siege.

On the city gate, Cheng Yu was not afraid, and said lightly: "Eight hundred people are enough, fight to the end, or we win!" ”

Xue Fang is also very calm, more than 2,000 bandits seem to be a lot, but if you want to attack the city, you are still far away!

"This Wang Du is dizzy!" Xue Fangdao.

Cheng Yu nodded, raised his hand to Xue Fang and said, "Mr. is righteous, Cheng Yu admires!" ”

Xue Fang smiled and said, "Guarding the Acropolis is the duty of the Han people, so why talk about anything else?" ”

Cheng Yu sighed lightly and said, "If they all still know their duty, why is Dong'e City like this?" ”

Xue Fang shook his head and looked at the bandits who were frantically attacking the city under the city.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~~
