Outside the east gate of Jianzhou City, several camps were set up along the official road. More than 500 people stood guard outside the city gate and refused to leave. This frightened Ye Tengjiao, the governor of Jianzhou County. Ye Tengjiao frowned and suddenly felt like a spoiled wife.

The concubines are no longer beautiful, the food and tea are no longer fragrant, and the brothels are no longer available. Every day I sigh and feel anxious all day long. Even if there is a slight disturbance in the city, Ye Tengjiao will immediately ask if the army from outside the city has invaded?

Although Liu Canjun, the manager of the governor's office, expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Tengjiao's cowardly behavior, it was of no use. Ye Tengjiao was really frightened and hid in the governor's office not wanting to see anyone. He just wanted to wait for his cousin Niu.

Troops were sent all over the place to rescue him. He completely lost his usual arrogant and domineering aura of bullying men and women. It was Liu Canjun and Jianzhou Captain An Chongbao who dragged him to the top of the city and took a look at the outside of the city from a distance.

camp tent.

Liu Canjun pointed to the camp outside the city and made a suggestion to Ye Tengjiao, "Master Ye, look at these tents. There are only 600 troops outside the city. We have 8,000 troops stationed in the city. Even if ten people fight one person, it will be useless."

You have won the battle, what are you afraid of? King Wei has just arrived at Jiannan Road and has not even been there for three months. His foothold is not yet stable, his troops are not well-fed and he is short of food. How can he attack us? This is our opportunity!"

Ye Tengjiao stood on the top of the city, looking at the trembling tents, shaking his head and saying: "Old Liu, no, this is King Wei's army! No matter how small the number of people are, they are all sent by the palace. King Wei controls the officials and people of Jiannan Road, and we all

It has to be under his control. He came to arrest me only after he had the evidence. The letter also said that even my cousin Ma Yuanlu was arrested by him! We are no match for King Wei. Now I am afraid that no one except my cousin will

You can’t save me either!”

The Jianzhou captain An Chongbao next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Master Sheriff, you are confused! Whether we rebel now or not, King Wei will kill us! Even if you don't rebel now, he will let us go.

Can they pass us? There are only five or six hundred soldiers and horses under the city. I see that they are encamped on the flat ground. They are not close to the water and there are no natural dangers. The commander must be a loser! As long as we form a formation and rush over, we will definitely be able to do it.

A great victory!”

Ye Tengjiao shook his head and said: "Captain An, don't you think this is a hole dug by the enemy? Since there are only so many troops, how can he have the courage to attack the stronghold on the front line? There must be an ambush behind him! He is waiting for us to leave the city.

You are going to die! You must not leave the city, otherwise you will definitely fall into the trap!"

An Chongbao said disdainfully: "Sir, think about it, the autumn harvest has already begun, the crops have been harvested, and you can see the roots of the mountains from the flat plain outside the east gate. Within eighty or ninety miles, you can see a human hair.

Where is the ambush? If there is an ambush, it is also in Laoye Ridge! Laoye Ridge is nearly a hundred miles away from here. If you find out the enemy's situation, you can run back. However, when we go out of the city to his camp, it is only two and a half miles. We can kill him in two cups of tea.

Come on, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Shenjun twirled his beard and nodded in approval: "What Colonel An said makes sense! Sir, this opportunity is not to be missed! Let's send people out of the city to make a surprise attack now, and we will definitely gain something!"

Ye Tengjiao shook his head and said: "Captain An, Liu Canjun, you can all think of things. Could it be that King Wei's men are fools? When things go wrong, there must be monsters. If it were you, you would only bring five or six hundred soldiers and dare to attack in such a big way."

Under the city? Are you thinking that your life is too long? This must be a ploy by the officials of Prince Wei's Mansion to lure the enemy!"

An Chongbao cupped his hands and said: "Master Ye, I would like to ask for a battle. Please allocate me three thousand soldiers and horses. I will go out of the city and slaughter the enemy camp! If we lose, I am willing to serve as a military commander!"

Ye Tengjiao sneered and said: "Captain An, I told you that I have to wait for a reply from the Commander-in-Chief, but now I have nothing to do with it.

Don't act rashly! Besides, mobilizing three thousand soldiers and horses is my limit as a county guard. To mobilize more than three thousand soldiers and horses at a time, you need a document from the Ministry of War, an official document from the military envoy's office, or an order from the King of Wei. Don't you think so?

Do you want me to be charged with treason?"

An Chongbao, the tall and armored Jianzhou captain, was so angry that he vomited blood. After being stunned for a long time, he asked: "Sir Ye, I would like to ask, King Wei has sent people to arrest your cousin, and you have been pointed out.

There is a charge of treason among the charges, and we are about to investigate you. At this critical moment, you are still worried about the documents from the Ministry of War and the official documents from the General Office required for troop deployment! Sir, if you don't resist, you will be killed! If you don't resist, you will be killed!

If you rebel now, there may be a way to survive, but if you surrender, you will definitely die!"

Ye Tengjiao almost jumped up and said angrily: "An Chongbao! What are you talking about? If I am really arrested by King Wei, as a county guard, I am also a fourth-grade official after all, and the evidence he finds is nothing more than me.

Corruption, just got some women. He said I was treason, but I refused to admit it even to death! Even if he was a prince, he had no right to kill me. The most he could do was to escort me to the capital. I accepted everything else, but not the treason one!

"

Ye Tengjiao sighed again: "The rest of the charges can be big or small. They are nothing more than dismissal from office and investigation. The most they can do is beheading. I will be the only one who dies. But if I rebel now, if I am caught, I will be executed in Lingchi and the whole family will be executed."

, maybe even nine tribes will be implicated! Besides, not all of the eight thousand soldiers and horses in the city are ours, it’s hard to tell how many people will be willing to follow me! So I have to wait for news about my cousin!"

An Chongbao said angrily: "If there is no news from the government office, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"

Fu Ercong, the captain of the city gate, was listening, very frustrated, and thought to himself, why did we follow such a loser? You and the Commander-in-Chief did not discuss the rebellion in private? Even I know it, who else are you trying to hide?

When King Wei catches you, will you explain to King Wei that you did not commit rebellion?

An Chongbao and Fu Ercong looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. The general was really incompetent, and the three armies were exhausted. The fact that you don't have troops proves that you don't intend to rebel? As long as you are caught, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter, and evidence of your rebellion will be collected.

Isn't it easy? Will King Wei spare you, or will the emperor spare you? Is this different from an ostrich that sticks its head in the sand when it is chased, and thinks that others can't see it either?

Liu Canjun also smiled bitterly and thought to himself, our county guard is too timid. Liu Canjun, who had no other choice, also stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Ye, no matter what, it is a fact that the King of Wei is approaching the city now. You have to think about it."

We need to come up with a countermeasure!"

Standing on the city gate tower, Ye Tengjiao suddenly burst into tears, beat his chest and said: "Don't stop me, I will surrender to King Wei myself! Even if King Wei captures me, as long as I don't admit treason, he will only

If you can hand me over to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel, then I will ask my family to spend money to take care of me. I will definitely not die! It is better to die than to live, so why let me die? Rebellion is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes! I don’t want to

Die!"

When Ye Tengjiao heard that these people were going to rebel, he immediately regretted it. He didn't want to wait any longer for a reply from his cousin Niu Mandi, so he wanted to open the city and go out to surrender.

An Zhongbao's expression turned even more angry, and he almost pulled out his sword and hacked Ye Tengjiao to death on the spot. This county magistrate was really worthless. Where was the courage to bully men and women? At the beginning, everyone and the manager

Your Excellency, you were plotting a rebellion, and when you were appointed an official and made a wish, weren't you very happy? Now, these five or six hundred soldiers have come to the city, and they have frightened you into such a coward?

Fu Ercong, the captain of the city gate, saw that An Chongbao had the urge to draw his sword and kill someone, so he hurried over to stop An Chongbao and whispered: "Captain An, it seems that the county governor is unreliable! Let's ignore him, the sword

Among the military attachés in the state, you are the most senior now. What do you think we should do? I will listen to you now!"

Since the former Jianzhou General passed away due to illness, the position of Jianzhou General has been vacant. An Chongbao acted as a school lieutenant to act as a general, so Fu Ercong said that among the military attachés in Jianzhou, An Chongbao had the largest official position.

An Chongbao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This Lord Sheriff really disappoints me. No, we have to detain him to prevent him from surrendering in Kaicheng! In my personal judgment, the general manager is absolutely convinced."

We won't sit still and wait for death. We can't care so much now!" An Chongbao pointed to the camp set up by the guards of the royal family outside the city, "I will lead three thousand troops out of the city and surround the camp! Let's turn against him now.

Damn it!”

Ye Tengjiao heard that An Chongbao was going to lead people out of the city, and now he rebelled. His face turned pale with fright, and he shouted sternly: "An Chongbao, you traitor! I have long heard that King Wei was so powerful in martial arts that he took the general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops.

It's like searching for something! There is still a way to survive if you leave the city and surrender, so don't hurt me!"

An Chongbao raised his eyebrows and cursed sternly: "You surnamed Ye! It was you and Niu Jinglueshi who said they wanted to rebel at first, but now that things are coming, you are as afraid of the enemy as a tiger! How can someone who wants to achieve great things be so greedy for life and afraid of death?

?" An Chongbao waved his hand, "Young men, tie up Mr. Ye and lock him up in our camp. Wait until I defeat these rats outside the city first, and then we will make a long-term plan!" An Chongbao's twenty personal soldiers

Once he agreed, he would come up and tie up Ye Tengjiao.

When Ye Tengjiao heard that An Chongbao asked his men to tie him up, he yelled angrily, "An Chongbao! You bastard, do you want to rebel even though you are a little Jianzhou captain? Using these few troops to rebel is like striking an egg against a stone! We

How long can the food and grass in the city last? Huh?" A dozen government officials brought by Ye Tengjiao wanted to stop An Chongbao's soldiers. The two sides fought fiercely on the city gate tower. The government officials were far from the opponents of An Chongbao's soldiers and were beaten.

The head-holding rat scurried away.

Liu Shenjun stepped forward to stop him, "Captain An, you must not do this! If you have something to say with us, we can discuss it! These people from outside the city can't come in yet, so we have plenty of time to discuss it. Besides, the manager has not replied yet, so why are we in a hurry?"

What about those people outside the city who don’t eat food every day? We’ll eat them for ten days and a half, and we’ll starve them to death!”

An Chongbao was really furious. He stepped forward and pushed Liu Canjun down, scolding: "You are still discussing your mother! If we continue to discuss it, everyone will be dead! This man named Ye is obviously a waste, and you are still protecting him!"

Although there are only five or six hundred people outside the city now, what if Prince Wei's Mansion adds more troops? They have already arrived at the city, why are you waiting for me? Now that the matter has come to this, it is the best idea! Hurry, tie up Mr. Ye, and please enter the military camp!"

All the soldiers came forward and tied up Ye Tengjiao. There was a huge chaos on the city top. Ye Tengjiao yelled and cursed, and the government officials fled in all directions. A few clever government officials escaped down the city gate tower and rode their horses back to the county governor's office to report the news.

When the officials in the county governor's office heard the news, they immediately became confused.

When Mao Zongli, the warden's warden, heard that the county governor had been kidnapped by the Jianzhou captain, he became furious and cursed: "Damn it, what the hell is a Jianzhou captain? You don't want me to mobilize troops.

Does the barracks have the final say?"

In the military camp outside the city, Tang Jiusheng received a secret message from Xiaoqing. The news came from Cheng Zifei, who was lurking in Jianzhou City. Tang Jiusheng knew that the city was now full of dogs. When Fatty and others knew the news, they all
Chapter completed!
