Chapter 1572 - I'm Afraid of Death
Luo Chong walked slowly on the city wall, and was about to walk to the west gate, just when a flag officer ran to meet him and saluted and reported: "Lord Qianhu, you came just in time, there is a team of people outside the west gate, and the person at the head said that he was the magistrate of Hengyuan County, and his demeanor was in a hurry, and he asked us to open the city gate and let him in." As soon as you see it, you know that you have also come to take refuge. β
"Hengyuan County has been captured?"
Luo Chong tilted his head: "The efficiency of the anti-thief is okay." β
Stepping up, I came to the west gate, and looked down from the battlement, a carriage, and several people were carrying a big burden.
The fat man who was suspected of being Hengyuan Zhixian was standing next to the carriage, looking up and up, still shouting in his mouth: "I am really Hengyuan Zhixian, open the door for me, several of your hundreds of households recognize me, let me in quickly......"
Only mention 100 households, not 1,000 households, you must know that the 1,000 households in Guangling Town are no longer surnamed Zhao.
Luo Chong asked above: "Has Hengyuan County already fallen?"
"Huh?"
Hengyuan Zhixian is also in his twenties, but he may be a little short-sighted, and he can't see Luo Chong's specific appearance clearly, plus Luo Chong is wearing civilian clothes, so he can't judge the official position, so he asked loudly below: "Please also ask, who are you?"
"On behalf of thousands of households, Luo Dong. β
"Ah! Luo Qianhu, Lord Luo!"
Hengyuan Zhixian bowed his hand: "The next official is Wei Guangliang of Hengyuan Zhixian County, and I also ask the Lord Qianhu to open the city gate and let me in." β
"Don't worry, the thief is still far away, and he didn't kill him so quickly. β
Luo Chong said slowly: "Besides, as soon as the city gate is closed, there are several sandbags blocked below, not that they can be opened, at least ask to understand." β
Thousands of households are five grades, the county is only seven grades, and the largest upper-class county is only a six-grade county, although it is said that the emphasis is on literature and light on martial arts, and the grade is very different, Luo Chong has no need to coax him.
Wei Guangliang also knew these truths, so he took out a small bag from the carriage and shouted: "Lord Qianhu, this is my official seal and official uniform, you can verify it." β
"Don't look at those. β
Luo Chong waved his hand: "Just find a stone, I can carve exactly the same, I only ask you, has Hengyuan County fallen?"
"It doesn't seem to be ...... yet"
Wei Guangliang hesitated, but still told the truth: "But it is also a matter of time, there are only dozens of old and weak soldiers in Hengyuan County, and it is impossible to stop it." β
Luo Chong's tone was cold: "In other words, you haven't seen the thief yet, so you left the people and fled?"
"Uh......"
Wei Guangliang was stunned, it was not easy to answer clearly, but he said in his heart: Aren't we all like this, knowing that we will die, who would stay there stupidly?
The people will not necessarily die, and those who are in charge will die miserably if they fall into the hands of anti-thieves, peel their skins and cramp, and cut them with a thousand knives.
Hearing Luo Chong question himself like this, Wei Guangliang also chuckled in his heart: Didn't you meet a fierce person who couldn't get used to a death-fearing ghost like me?
If so, you can only flee to the next guardhouse.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chong said next: "Forget it, you are not a military attachΓ©, and you can be forgiven if you don't have the courage and blood." Open the door and let them in. β
"Ahh
Wei Guangliang was overjoyed, bowed below, and thanked him loudly.
Seriously, if you run elsewhere, you and your family can still make do with the carriage, and the master and the house slave who can only walk will definitely not be able to hold on.
As everyone knows, Luo Chong is not a strong person at all, not to mention anything else, if he encounters a more powerful character than himself in the chaos in the future, who will die generously?
What kind of national righteousness, thousands of people, if the chaos powerhouse can destroy a certain universe and rebuild it, there will be no psychological burden at all.
The height is different, and the criteria for judging right and wrong are naturally different.
There weren't many sandbags piled up at the west gate, and soon, the city gate slowly opened, and Wei Guangliang trotted all the way, panting and coming in, and the house slaves were driving the carriage behind.
"Thank you, Senno-sama. β
came in, safe, Wei Guangliang's face was oily, and suddenly he became a lot more energetic.
Luo Chong waved his hand, and just asked casually: "You have lost the county seat like this, so you are not afraid of asking for guilt in the future?"
"It should be fine. β
Wei Guangliang pulled a towel from the frame of the car and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "My father has some ways in the capital, even if he can't keep his official position, he can still save his life." Besides, I can't care about that much now, and it's much better than dying at the hands of the thief. β
"Okay, you take your family to the inn to rest first, and we'll talk later. β
Luo Chong heard the slight moaning of the female in the car, it must have been a curled up posture for too long, and when he didn't move, his legs cramped.
This Wei Guangliang is obviously also one of the ****, there are four women stuffed in the small carriage, he is so young, it is impossible to have such a big daughter, they must all be wives and concubines.
"Hey, hey, good, good. β
Wei Guangliang responded from behind, and shouted again: "Xiaguan freshen up a little, and then go to visit Lord Qianhu." β
There is obviously a hint that he will give Luo Chong a gift after a while. The life of the family is tied to the hands of others, how can you not give some benefits.
Wei Guangliang's arrival made Luo Chong change his mind slightly, so he called Ma Hanzi to his eyes and gave him an order: Ten veterans, bring forty recruits, all on horseback, you lead them out to fight guerrillas!
Of course, Ma Hanzi can understand that if these people are trained well, they will be the scout brigade in charge of themselves in the future.
"In five days, bring back at least 200 heads. β
Luo Chong set a target for him: "Don't think about killing good people and risking their merits, and use the heads of ordinary people to deceive me." Whether it's true or not, do you think I can tell if it's true?"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Ma Hanzi's body was straight and his expression was solemn: "The lives of his subordinates are all from thousands of households, and I want to follow you to be a hero in the world, not a despicable villain!"
"That's right. β
Luo Chong patted him on the shoulder: "Practice your true skills, it's better than anything else." β
Thundered......
Two hours later, Ma Hanzi led a team of fifty people with sixty war horses to the west gate of GuΓ² and ran out of Guangling Town, and the extra ten horses would be used to carry human heads or other harvests.
The most clever guerrilla tactics have long been taught by Luo Chong, and it depends on how much he can comprehend and how much he can play.
If you can really play well, just these fifty cavalry can toss those so-called Yaotian troops to the point of being overwhelmed.
In the afternoon, Luo Chong received Wei Guangliang, who had changed into an official uniform after taking a bath in his hall, and fled for his life on the road, he would never dare to wear it.
As soon as he sat down, Wei Guangliang gave him five hundred taels of silver tickets, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan knows that this thing is too vulgar, but in extraordinary times, this thing is the lightest on the body, and I ask Qianhu to forgive me." β
"It's not good at all, it's much better than giving me jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, those things still have to find channels to sell, trouble!"
Luo Chong is even more undisciplined, and he does not refuse gifts from others, but he also said: "It's just that when you pass by me, you will give five hundred taels when you open a city gate, you can be greedy." β
"Greedy?"
Seeing that Luo Chong was also this kind of virtue, Wei Guangliang was completely relaxed, waved his hand and said: "Pointing to corruption and bribery, I can't make too much money, but fortunately, my father has money, so I don't need to bother with these thoughts." Let's put it this way, anyway, it's not a secret in the Guangling realm, my father has a good way in business, and I, the magistrate, bought it. β
Luo Chong nodded, pretending to be in a trance.
But Wei Guangliang said again: "Qianhu don't look down on me, I'm also a showman, quite talented." β
"Come on. β
Luo Chong pouted: "Find someone else to take the test, right?"
"No, no, no!"
Wei Guangliang shook his head vigorously: "It's really my own test, I'm not stupid, I don't have much pressure to study, if it's not for being playful and lazy, it won't be a problem to take the exam again." β
"Haha, okay, such a solid answer, I believe it. β
Luo Chong laughed, in fact, I had already inquired with Mayor Han just now, this Wei Guangliang is really not a straw bag, and he has been in office for two years, and he has made Hengyuan County very good. may also be that his family has money and does not need to exploit the people too much.
However, Mayor Han can't deny the real political achievements.
In the face of death, he threw away the people and ran away directly, which is another matter, whether he is afraid of death and whether he is confused cannot be confused.
Next, Wei Guangliang felt that Luo Chong was quite easy-going and not difficult to get along with, so he asked tentatively: "Lord Qianhu, take the liberty of asking, do you think this Guangling Town can be defended?"
This must be asked, there must be a bottom in my heart, it really can't be done, rest for a day or two, and then continue to go south and continue to run.
"Don't run away, stay here honestly. β
Luo Chong understood what he meant, so he said: "Those rebels are not in my eyes at all, not only can they hold on, but when the time comes, I will also send troops to encircle and suppress it, and directly put down this rebellion." β
"Huh?"
Wei Guangliang was very surprised, but he had also heard of his name of a hundred people, so he asked, "How many soldiers are there under Qianhu?"
"There are not many soldiers, but fine. β
Luo Chong didn't bother to be verbose, and directly began to ask for bribes: "Two thousand taels! When the time comes, I will help you take Hengyuan County back, don't say that you ran away, just say that you have come to me to move the rescue soldiers, and you can still keep this official hat." β
"This ......"
Wei Guangliang looked stunned, with only one mouth, of course he didn't dare to believe such big words, but for him, it was extremely tempting.
How could you be willing to throw away an official hat that you could hardly buy, if you can really keep it, it will naturally be better. As for two thousand taels of silver, it's nothing, and Dad is definitely willing to pay for it.
If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if you are dismissed, your future official career will be completely abolished. The dismissed officials want to be reactivated, without the special approval of the emperor, don't even think about it, no matter how rich the father is, it is impossible to buy the emperor.
"Go back and think about it. β
Luo Chong patted the silver ticket on the table, and said with a smile: "I'm not for these things, but I think that your brother is very interesting (I want to say funny), and being a neighbor with me over there in Hengyuan is much better than those vain guys." β
"Good, good. β
Wei Guangliang took out a handkerchief, habitually wiped his face, and then told the truth: "Qianhu, I'm not worried about money, I'm just afraid of death." I'm not afraid of your jokes, if you are pricked by a needle, I will call it for a long time. If you can't hold it here, I'll give you all your life......"
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm stupider than you?"
Luo Chong snorted: "If I wasn't sure, I would have stayed here? And took in so many refugees? What do you think I think?"
