broken!
Liu Zheng felt bad.
This fat man is the county magistrate of Yangzhou City, his name is Lu Zhengyi. At this moment, he glared at Qin Changfeng and shouted: "What kind of thief is committing murder in the street? He is committing a heinous crime. Get him!"
More than thirty soldiers accepted the promise and forced them forward.
Qin Changfeng glared coldly and trembled with the long knife in his hand before taking action.
Liu Zheng didn't want this knight-errant to be accused of "anti-government", so he hurried out and shouted: "Stop it, everyone stop it!"
Lu Zhengyi scolded: "Who are you?"
Liu Zheng laughed along with him: "Master County Marquis, I am the son of Yinzhou County Marquis. If you have something to say, please speak it carefully!"
Lu Zhengyi was stunned, and then said angrily: "Where did the Huangkou boy come from? When did Yinzhou have a county magistrate?"
Everyone laughed.
Although Yangzhou is barren, it is still quite arrogant and arrogant in front of Yinzhou, a land of invincibility.
Liu Zheng took out the customs clearance document and handed it to Lu Zhengyi and said: "Sir, please see, my father Liu Dahao, who is about to take office as the Marquis of Yinzhou County, is one family, one family!"
"It really is the seal of Liangzhou Prefecture!"
Lu Zhengyi confirmed the matter, but still sneered: "You, Marquis of Yinzhou County, want to take charge of things in Yangzhou, do you have longer hands? Please stay out of the way!"
Liu Zheng continued: "Sir, you must not do it. This ranger defeated the horse bandits in the street, and the people were happy when they heard about it. If you convict him, wouldn't it make the people feel cold?"
At this time, many people came over and asked for Qin Changfeng's life.
Qin Changfeng sneered: "Why bother asking this dog official! It turns out that the soldiers in Yangzhou City don't know how to defend the enemy, but only know how to bully the people. What's the use of keeping such a county magistrate? Let me take his head!"
Saying this, he shouted loudly and rushed into the crowd of soldiers.
This ranger is indeed very impressive, with astonishing skills. Even when facing more than thirty people, he is like a dragon swimming across the sea. In a few rounds, the more than thirty soldiers were unable to touch him at all.
Everyone exclaimed. Lu Zhengyi's face was even livid. His soldiers could not defeat a ranger, which really made his face look dull.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Liu Zheng was afraid that Qin Changfeng would accidentally hurt these soldiers or kill people, so there would really be no room for mediation in this matter.
"Stop it all!"
Lu Zhengyi drank.
More than thirty soldiers from the government retreated one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.
Qin Changfeng has an extraordinary demeanor with one man and one sword.
The more Liu Zheng saw it, the more he liked him, and he thought he must take this person under his command.
Lu Zhengyi's face changed several times, and finally he sighed: "Strong men are good at martial arts, but do you really think that I don't want to defend against the enemy? In fact, there are only a thousand soldiers in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture, but there are three thousand horse bandits! Today you are attacking in the street
It’s just a small team of them that retreated. The horse bandits have suffered a loss in Yangzhou today, and they will definitely attack in a big way!"
"You are a knight-errant, and you can leave in style!"
"But how can I, Yangzhou City, resist?"
"Excuse me, did you save the people or harm them? I can only arrest you and bring you to justice, which also gives the horse bandits an explanation! After a while, I will let you go, and Yangzhou will be safe!"
"What?"
Lu Zhengyi's eyes were red, and he said this with helplessness and melancholy, and it didn't seem like he was lying.
Qin Changfeng and Liu Zheng were stunned at the same time.
Just now, both of them thought that it was the Yangzhou County Marquis' inaction, and they even suspected that he and the horse bandit were colluding with each other, which made them angry at Qin Changfeng's chivalrous and righteous deeds. Now it seems that this is not the case.
The bandits are powerful and there are only a thousand soldiers in Yangzhou. They can only protect the people in this way and survive in these troubled times.
This is a tacit understanding in troubled times.
The horse bandits need to eat, and they don't want to destroy Yangzhou City. In that case, who will they rob?
The government can only balance it.
The whole incident revealed the infinite sadness of this troubled world.
As for why not recruiting troops?
It's very simple, you can't afford it!
The annual tax revenue of Yangzhou is not enough to control natural disasters. Where can we find the money to recruit more troops?
"this......"
Qin Changfeng, a knight-errant, was used to being wild. He didn't know how difficult it would be to be a leader. He did something bad with good intentions. He shouted with shame: "I don't know that you care about the people. It's Changfeng's fault! When the horse bandit comes again, Qin Changfeng will definitely take the lead."
Charge into battle!”
"What a man!"
Lu Zhengyi sighed: "It's just that if you think about the people, go to prison and rest for a few days..."
Qin Changfeng clenched his fists. He was unwilling to do so, but that was probably the only way he could do it. After all, the enemy had three to four thousand people. No matter how powerful Qin Changfeng was, he was not a god descended from the earth.
Liu Zheng thought that the opportunity had come, and said: "Sir, how many people and horses do these horse bandits have, and what is their combat strength?"
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
Lu Zhengyi smiled bitterly: "Why, Master, do you still want to kill the horse bandit?"
Qin Changfeng immediately shouted: "If you have such an idea, Master, Changfeng will take the lead!"
Liu Zheng is overjoyed, what he wants is your words! These days, a scholar will die for his confidant. He wants to conquer Qin Changfeng for his own use, but it cannot be done by crying like Liu Bei. You must show that he is willing
Follow your strengths.
He smiled slightly: "It's not necessarily impossible."
Lu Zhengyi still wanted to speak, but at this moment, a horse suddenly came galloping, and a man jumped down and rolled around: "Sir, a group of horse bandits gathered outside the city. It seems that there are three to four thousand people, clamoring for a siege. The situation is critical.
!”
Everyone was shocked. Lu Zhengyi gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "The horse bandits are bullying people too much. Do you really think that there is no one in our Yangzhou? I ordered you to go down and defend Yangzhou. If there is any retreat, kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
Liu Zheng and others also ran to the tower.
Looking up, there are already crowds of people outside the city. Liangzhou produces horses. The horse bandits are actually one man, one horse and one sword. They are full of murderous intent. They are galloping around the city gate on horseback while shouting and taunting.
This scene made the Yangzhou soldiers tremble with fear. In terms of momentum, these horse bandits had the absolute upper hand.
Liu Zheng encountered this kind of scene for the first time, and his scalp was numb.
Three to four thousand people, equivalent to a regiment in later generations, stood together so densely that it seemed as if they couldn't even see the edge.
"Run quickly!"
"The horse bandits are coming!"
The people in the city have long been in panic, and every household is packing up their belongings and planning to flee Yangzhou.
Lu Zhengyi immediately ordered the city to be closed to stabilize the people's morale. However, because some government soldiers went to maintain public order, the number of people defending the city was reduced sharply. There were only 600 people. Although it was easier to defend the city than to attack it, but seeing the opponent's fierce momentum,
This time it was hard to find an excuse, and it was clear that he wanted to occupy Yangzhou City.
"Mr. Lu, how dare you let a thief hurt my brother? I won't give up until this person is punished!"
"If you don't do anything, open the city gate and let us go in and search!"
"Open the door!"
Three thousand people shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and they did not take the official Lu Zhengyi seriously.
"What should I do?"
Lu Zhengyi was extremely desperate.
Liu Zheng asked anxiously: "Master Lu, how many days can we hold out?"
Lu Zhengyi said: "Although we, the soldiers of Yangzhou Prefecture, are not afraid of death, we are outnumbered by the enemy and can only survive for three days at most!"
Liu Zheng observed for a moment that although this horse bandit was a horse bandit, his horses, weapons and equipment were much better than those of the soldiers. No wonder these people were desperate.
This is simply not a level of combat effectiveness.
"I, Qin Changfeng, will go first!"
Qin Changfeng felt ashamed and angry.
Liu Zheng quickly grabbed him and turned around to ask Lu Zhengyi: "Master Lu, is there a stone quarry in Yangzhou?"
"Stone field?"
Lu Zhengyi nodded: "Yangzhou is rich in bluestone, and the quarry is in the north of the city."
Liu Zheng was overjoyed: "Master Lu must survive three days. After three days, I will retreat from the enemy!"
"ah?"
Everyone looked dumbfounded and thought it was just a child's joke.
Liu Dahao was also sweating: "Son, don't joke, don't joke!"
Lu Zhengyi shook his head: "Colonel Luo!"
"exist!"
"Send the Yinzhou County Hou father and son and the ranger away with Ximen!"
"yes!"
Liu Zheng shouted: "Master Lu, you must trust me once! I don't need any soldiers or horses, just give me fifty years!"
Lu Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously. This son of the Marquis of Liu County looked like a well-dressed and well-fed dandy, but at this moment the battle was about to begin, and he showed no fear on his face. He was not an ordinary person.
"We have prepared a lot of rolling stones to defend the city, why are you going to the stone quarry? I believe you for now, but it will take three days at most. After three days, you must leave!"
Lu Zhengyi nodded.
He immediately ordered Lieutenant Na Luo to take Liu Zheng and three others on horseback and ride to the stone field in the north of the city.
When Liu Zheng looked at the stone field, his face lit up with joy.
It has been cloudy for the past few days, and it looks like it will rain heavily. This heavy rain is the key to whether Yangzhou can defend the city! Rolling Stone?
hehe.
