Chapter 11 Opening a position to help the people
Yun Feiyu led 10,000 guards into Fangcheng, after entering the city, Yun Feiyu ordered Wei Yong to take five hundred elite soldiers to seal the official warehouse of Fangcheng, just a large granary inside stored hundreds of thousands of stones, hundreds of thousands of hungry people in rebellion, Fangcheng actually stored so much grain, Leng Kangwen was summoned, Leng Kangwen pushed the grain to King Wen, and said that it was King Wen's private food, just borrowed the official warehouse to store, according to Leng Kangwen's thoughts, Yun Feiyu A small commander would never dare to offend King Wen, Yun Feiyu smiled coldly, " King Wen has agreed to provide supplies for our guards, and since these are the food of King Wen, the guards will requisition them first. ”
Yun Feiyu ordered all the grain stored in Fangcheng's official warehouses to be transported away, stayed in Fangcheng for a day, and left Fangcheng with nearly a million stone grains, 10,000 guards became a grain army escorting grain and grass, and marched towards the neighboring Dancheng, on the way King Wen sent a messenger to get back the grain, Yun Feiyu replied to the messenger: "This million stone grain is not enough for our guards to have ten days of grain and grass, how can King Wen be untrustworthy?"
The envoy was much more arrogant on weekdays, and in a fit of rage, he didn't take Yun Feiyu, the little commander, into account, and asked: "Are your guards all rice buckets, a million stone of grain, and your guards can't eat it for a year!"
Yun Feiyu was furious, "Our guards were born and died just for the peace of your Fen County, and the grain and grass have to worry about me, I would like to ask the prince, where is the million loads of disaster relief food used?" Let the guards beat the messenger dozens of military sticks, and then expelled him from the camp, King Wen was so angry that he smashed the vase on the case, and scolded angrily: "How dare the erector child do this!" The little concubine next to her turned pale with fright, and secretly thought, where is this Yun Feiyu sacred, and dared to offend the prince. Although King Wen was extremely angry, he really had no way to take Yun Feiyu, and besides, the disaster relief was a loss, so King Wen had to swallow his anger.
The eight cities occupied by the People's Army were Lincheng, Dancheng, Tongcheng, Huacheng, Yangcheng, Zicheng, Shicheng, and Fancheng. Among them, Lin Cheng is the most powerful, gathering 30,000 people, the leader is Wen Siran, the remaining seven cities have 10,000 more, and only a few thousand less, like Dancheng, there are only 3,000 people's army, and the city is dilapidated, and the 3,000 people's army still has old and weak women and children among them.
Since he knew that the other party was not a vicious bandit, Yun Feiyu no longer attacked, but let the guards cook in a cauldron under the city every day, so that the aroma of the food wafted to Dancheng, that day there were incidents everywhere in Fen County, Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, evacuated most of the granaries in each city and stored them in Fangcheng and Khotan, so even if the people's army occupied the eight cities, the food still did not land, and there were starving people every day, Yun Feiyu let the guards eat and drink under the city of Dan every day, and let the soldiers proclaim loudly that if they gave up resistance, they would not only avoid death, but also get food, in this way, it was more effective than attacking the city, and in less than three days, the three thousand people's troops in Dancheng abandoned the city and surrendered。
Yun Feiyu did not break his promise, and gave a part of the food obtained from Fangcheng to the people, the people were not only innocent, but also got life-saving food, which was naturally widely praised, Yun Feiyu's guards were famous all over Fen County for a while, and Yun Feiyu also fought bloodlessly under the seven cities, and finally only Lin Cheng was left without surrendering, 10,000 guards were stationed under Lin Cheng, Wen Siran led 30,000 people to guard Lin Cheng.
Inquired with the local people, Yun Feiyu knew the truth of the Zhaojiazhuang bloody case, and also knew that the leader of Lincheng was Zhao Kaitai's son-in-law and daughter, the Zhao family was a big clan in Lincheng, and the 281 people who were killed that day were related to most of the people in Lincheng, and the people of Lincheng killed Lincheng County when they got up, and when Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, sent troops to suppress it, there were rumors of bloody massacre of Lincheng, so the 30,000 people's army in Lincheng had the will to die and would rather die than surrender.
Yun Feiyu rode on a horse and looked at the forest city in front of him, the city is more than five zhang high, the four city walls are repaired completely, and the moat is more than three zhang wide, Yun Feiyu secretly calculated in his heart, if it is attacked, the two thousand cavalry can only be used as infantry, but there are 30,000 people who defend the city, although they are people who have not undergone formal military training, but it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, and there are probably not a few who can survive the strong attack of 10,000 guards, and they may not be able to attack, how should this be good?
The people in the city are also worried, no more than the Wen King Zhu Qing who are usually powerful and prosperous, the guards under the city are bright and bright, the sword light is shining and dazzling, the military is full of might, and there is a precedent for the two thousand cavalry of the guard to kill 20,000 people's troops to flee, and now the other seven cities in Fen County have surrendered, and finally Lin Cheng is left, whether they can hold it or not, the people of Lin Cheng have no bottom in their hearts.
Wen Siran seemed to see everyone's panic, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he was helpless, Wen Siran was just a scholar, and Zhao Kaitai looked at it, accepted as a son-in-law, and could marry Zhao Lian as his wife, Wen Siran also felt that his ancestors had accumulated virtue, but not long after the two got married, the Zhao family had undergone great changes, Wen Siran was often depressed because of his unwillingness, and when he saw that the people of Fen County were available, he encouraged the people to rise up, thinking that the prince would have a kind of Xiangning? It has become a trend, there are many maladministrations, bandits are troubled in various places, and the people's lives are also difficult, but the century-old national foundation has not been moved, the national politics are quite stable, and the elite soldiers and good generals are also sufficient, Fen County and a county have risen, and other counties in the West Wind Country have not responded, and now, Wen Siran also realizes that it is still delusional to overthrow the century-old rule of the Zhu family!
But there is no regret medicine in the world, now I am afraid that it is to surrender the city, and others can live, but as the leader of the civil unrest in Fen County, Wen Siran did not dare to think that the imperial court would let him go, and there was also King Wen, and he, the emperor of the soil, would never let the people of Lincheng have a good time! Wen Siran walked down the city tower gloomily, and returned to his home, his wife Zhao Lian had already prepared a meal. Two miscellaneous grains and a plate of wild vegetables, Wen Siran felt even more sad in his eyes, his wife Zhao Lian is the daughter of a big family, although she didn't talk about Dundun Shanzhen before, but it is not like this, and yesterday the doctor diagnosed that his wife Zhao Lian has been pregnant for two months, and pregnant women need food to supplement nutrition, but if they eat these things all day long, how can they get nutrition? Wen Siran felt ashamed in her heart, feeling that she was too wronged by her wife Zhao Lian, and said softly: "Lian'er, it's really hard for you!"
That Zhao Lian is a gentle and virtuous woman, but she is sincere to this scholar's husband, smiled softly at the moment, and whispered: "With the love of the husband, even if it is more bitter, Lian'er is still as sweet." ”
The corners of Wen Siran's eyes were moist, Changsheng sighed, and took his wife Zhao Lian into his arms, Zhao Lian said shyly: "Why is the husband sighing?
Before Wen Siran could open his mouth to answer, one of his men hurriedly ran in, and said in a loud voice: "Leader Wen, there is someone in the city who wants to see you, and he said that he is Yun Feiyu, the leader of the guards. ”
Wen Siran was stunned, Yun Feiyu, the commander of the guards, wanted to see him? What did Yun Feiyu want to do? He whispered to his beloved wife Zhao Lian to wait at home, and when he came down to the city, he saw a young man in brocade standing with his hands in his hands, wearing a cyan sword in his waist, looking at the city through the moat, Wen Siran shouted loudly: "Are you Yun Feiyu?"
When Yun Feiyu decided to go to Lincheng alone, the six battalion captains under him all tried hard to persuade him, but what Yun Feiyu decided, others could not easily let him change, and finally Wei Yong saw that he could not stop him, and asked to enter Lincheng with Yun Feiyu, but Yun Feiyu refused, Yun Feiyu just told Wei Yong, if he entered Lincheng for three days and did not come back, then Wei Yong led the guards to besiege Lincheng, but he must not attack, he can only wait for the people in Lincheng to run out of food, that is to break without attacking, Wei Yong was puzzled," Since the people in Lin City can't support it for long, why do you have to venture into the city now?"
Yun Feiyu sighed, not at all like a sixteen-year-old boy, "In the first battle of Fangcheng, our guards nominally killed more than 10,000 enemies, but in fact, you and I know in our hearts that those are just ordinary people, I, Yun Feiyu, have made a big mistake, I only hope to save a few more people in Lincheng to make up for the previous mistake!"
Yun Feiyu stood under the city, and saw Wen Siran in the costume of a scholar leaning out of the city, guessing in his heart that this was probably Wen Siran, Yun Feiyu replied loudly: "I am Yun Feiyu, and I also ask Brother Wen to open the city." ”
Since the other party intends to negotiate peace, Wen Siran, who was in a desperate situation, did not want to refuse, and ordered everyone to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge, Yun Feiyu walked into Lin City with a calm expression, and all the people at the city gate were like facing a great enemy, each raising their weapons against Yun Feiyu, everyone was surprised in their hearts, and they couldn't imagine that Yun Feiyu, who was famous in Fen County, was so young and handsome.
Yun Feiyu was led to the Lincheng County Ya, this is the place where Wen Siran discussed the military with everyone, and there were two guards holding scimitars standing at the gate of the county ya, seeing Yun Feiyu wearing a sword, one of the guards looked at the Qinglian sword in Yun Feiyu's waist, and said loudly: "Please untie your weapon!" ”
Yun Feiyu smiled faintly and untied the Qinglian Sword, handed it to the guards, and walked into the county office, Wen Siran sat on the top of the lobby, looking at Yun Feiyu with a suspicious face, "What do you want to do when you enter Lin City?"
Yun Feiyu pondered for a moment and asked aloud, "Brother Wen, do you think you still have a chance?"
Wen Siran's face sank, "You are here to persuade us to surrender? You also underestimate our people in Lincheng, we are determined to live and die with Lincheng, if we have the ability, we will capture Lincheng, let us surrender without a fight, don't even think about it!"
"I heard that Brother Wen is also a person who reads poetry and books, why don't you pity the people of this city? If you really wait until the city is broken, then how many of these 30,000 people can survive? I have heard the people talk about Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Kaitai and Zhao Dashan people opened the door for the people of the disaster to scatter wealth, saved countless people, and were praised by the people of Fen County as the Buddha of ten thousand families, but Brother Wen is leading the people of a city to die today, so why bother?"
Wen Siran was silent for a long time, and then said loudly: "My father-in-law has done good deeds all his life, but what is the result?
Yun Feiyu sighed, "The court allocated 10 million taels of silver and 1 million stones of grain for the victims of Fen County, but King Wen took it for himself, coveted the beauty of Zhao Lian, the young lady of the Zhao family, King Wen killed the Zhao family, and all kinds of evil deeds of King Wen exposed by the people, I will return to the emperor one by one, and I can't keep his position as the prince." ”
After all, he is the emperor's own brother. Wen Siran asked incredulously.
Yun Feiyu smiled bitterly, "Yes, after all, he is the emperor's own brother, but he can no longer do anything for the people of Fen County, isn't this enough? Brother Wen, do you want to avenge the Zhao family, or do you want to find a way to survive for the people of Lincheng? If Brother Wen can sacrifice Lincheng, I will ensure that the people of this city get enough food to survive the famine, and I can also keep my brother's family safe, Feiyu is all he says, where to go, please Brother Wen make up your mind as soon as possible!"
