Chapter 22: Military envoy, please come to the seat
(Please give me some monthly votes, the monthly vote list has been pulled down...)
Huanglongpo Post Station is a very important post station from Qianlan County to Langu County. There are nearly 30 post officials, subordinate officials and post soldiers from the Xiang Army.
Tang Pan and the others took the lead to rush in and completely control the inn without even a cup of tea. They also took the Xiang army generals led by Huanghuapo and Huangdugu Lao Camp, the generals at the festival level and Shichang Laolan.
Xu Zhong and others at the festival level were all under control.
However, these are far from enough.
Nearly 500 people receiving food came from six Xiang army stations and prison camps. The more than 100 Xiang army generals were relatively easy to control. They were really angry and unfair at being exploited and bullied. They wanted to seek justice, but they couldn't get enough
More than three-quarters of the total number of people are prisoners serving as hard labor in transporting grain, which is complicated.
They were angry because they were arbitrarily bullied and enslaved in the prison camp. Of course they were resentful and their screams were the most intense. But deep down in their hearts, they didn't actually have much hope of getting justice.
Their fierce roaring was caused by deep-seated resentment, and it was not ruled out that they wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Quite a few of them even wanted to vent their inner hatred, smashing everything in front of them even if they both died together;
It does not exclude that some people have evil minds and are born with the urge to commit crimes.
Not to mention Wang Zhen and Lu Xiong, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an, Tang Qing, Yin Peng, Zheng Tu and others were worried beforehand that these people would not be able to control it and the situation would be completely out of control.
At this time, Tang Pan, Yin Peng, and Zheng Tu could only take Wu Qi, Eucommia, Meng Laodao, and others who thought they knew something was going to happen, and gather all the restless people into the inn to restrain them.
, but they knew this wouldn't last long.
Xu Huai, Xu Xin'an, Tang Qing and others gathered around Guo Junpan, whose heart was swaying and his mind was ups and downs. When Pan Chenghu walked into the inn, he realized that there were three veteran gatekeepers in the inn who tried to stop them from breaking in, but were beaten to death by the prisoners.
After Yi Cheng and other officials surrendered, they were tied up and beaten with bruises all over their bodies.
The general in charge of the Xiang Army who was in charge of the Huanghuapo prison camp, as well as a section commander and a prison warden from Huangdugu hesitated when they broke into the post station. They even tried to stop everyone from violently breaking in, but they were also treated with cruelty.
The prisoners who hated him were beaten to death with their bare hands.
It's impossible for them to stop Tang Pan.
In the front yard of the inn was the government hall, which had been smashed. Xu Huai and the others walked in and saw a prisoner unscrupulously unbuttoning his trousers, exposing his white buttocks, and squatting in front of the corridor of the government hall with a stripe.
"You son of a bitch," Xu Huai kicked the man ten feet away and cursed, "Who are you trying to disgust by making such a big move here?"
The prisoner bumped his head against a stone pillar in the yard, screamed and got up, his head bruised and bleeding. He screamed and was about to pick up a piece of brick with all his strength. When he saw Xu Huai holding the knife with murderous intent and staring at him, he couldn't help but cry.
He smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "It's Mr. Tiger. I was really holding back just now. I couldn't hold it back - I'll move here right now!"
"Take this shit away with your hands! If you dare to disgust me next time, I will force you to eat it!" Xu Huai scolded angrily.
Huanglongpo Post Station is at the intersection of two core post roads, heading west from Kelan City to the west of Guanchuan Mountain and even the strategic location on the bank of the Yellow River. To the north, head along the upper reaches of the Fen River and cross Tuoliang Ridge to enter the Huihe River Valley.
; The inn is also used for staying troops, but it has not been officially upgraded to a military stronghold.
The post house covers an area of more than 20 acres. The outer courtyard wall is made of rammed earth, six feet thick and fifteen feet high. The interior buildings are simple, but there are nearly a hundred rooms, and there are facilities for feeding and lodging hundreds of soldiers.
.
Nearly five hundred grain-receiving soldiers and horses all retreated into the post house and the door was sealed. It was not overcrowded. There was still a lot of grain stored in the warehouse in the backyard, but it was also old grain and rotten grain that was unsightly. There were also two wells in the backyard.
Several horses used for transfer in Chuanyi.
Several officials were beaten to death, and Tang Pan and others placed their bodies directly in the public hall in the front yard of the post station.
"Amidst the public outrage, there are still these guys who don't know how to commend themselves! The two brothers ordered them to be beaten to death. It's really satisfying!" Xu Huai stood behind Guo Junpan and Pan Chenghu with a gloomy face.
, looking at the corpses in the official hall, said.
Guo Junpan and Pan Chenghu saw that these corpses had no injuries from swords and arrows. They were beaten beyond recognition with bare hands. They couldn't help but feel their hearts trembling. They knew that unless Xu Huai let them go, they would be beaten by people if they dared to shrink their heads.
The extremely violent prisoners were beaten to death.
Guo and Pan have turned into bandits over the years, and this is clear.
When more and more prisoners realize that there is no way out when things get serious, they will coerce everyone to advance and retreat together.
To be honest, if Xu Huai, Xu Xin'an, and Tang Qing weren't staring at them like maggots attached to their bones, Guo and Pan couldn't help but think that it would actually be quite beautiful if they could get such a group of people to go into Guanlui Mountain.
"Envoys Guo Jun, Pan Jun, Huangdugu Lao Camp Xiang Army General Zhou Qinguang, Huanghuapo Lao Camp Deputy General Yuan Huidao and Xu Jiejie came to discuss the matter of asking for food!" After a while, Yin Peng took Zhou Qinguang,
Yuan Huidao, Xu Zhong and the others entered the official hall.
Xu Huai, Yin Peng, and Tang Qing first walked behind the center seat and stood still with their swords pressed.
"Two military envoys, please take your seats!" Zheng Tu reminded Guo Junpan, Pan Chenghu said.
Guo Junpan and Pan Chenghu bravely sat down in the middle first, and then invited Tang Pan, Zheng Tu, Xu Xin'an, Zhou Qinguang, Yuan Huidao, and Xu Zhong to sit on both sides.
As the commander of the Xiang Army in Caocheng Village, Guo Junpeng had the highest official position among so many people present. He gritted his teeth, looked at Zhou Qinguang and others and asked: "The grain official is so evil. We have tolerated it for a long time, but
They are getting worse and worse, showing no repentance at all. Are we going to just sit back and watch the generals and prisoners being exploited by them? Today's trouble is also caused by grudges. I don't know how the three of you view this matter?"
"The evil officials are indeed hateful, and they must have deceived Guo Shizhi and other superior officials. We must expose the evil officials' crimes to Guo Shizhi."
Zhou Qinguang spied many vicious prisoners in front of the corridor looking in, and said flatly: "If Guo Shizong does not severely punish evil officials, we will never let it go!"
Several corpses that had been beaten to death were right in front of him. What else could Zhou Qinguang say?
The most he can do now is to blame the whole matter on the grain and grain officials, thinking that this may force Guo Zhongxiong to retreat and severely punish the grain officials in exchange for calming down the situation; only in this way can they have any chance
Maybe you can escape intact.
They would never dare to think about following these extremely vicious people into becoming bandits. In addition to having families and businesses in Lanzhou, they had also heard that the campaign to conquer Yan would be launched at any time. By then, they did not know how many elite Imperial Guardsmen would be gathered there.
From Lanzhou, three to five hundred men and horses are enough to encircle and suppress them for several days?
What kind of joke are you kidding?
Zhou Qinguang had spoken, and Yuan Hui said that of course Xu Zhong also hurriedly expressed his willingness to beg for food and would never be a coward.
"To severely punish the grain officials and open eyes for the bullied Xiang army generals and prisoners, it is not enough to just petition Guo Shizhi and other state officials," Tang Pan said in a deep voice, "We only have five hundred men and one hundred horses.
Deputy Bingjia Yu, if Guo Shizhi feels that the grain official is difficult to get rid of, or secretly accepts the grain official's benefits, and wants to mobilize the imperial army to suppress us, there is no need to worry too much. I think the most important thing at the moment is to send
People rush to the prison camps, the Xiang army garrison, so that the Xiang army generals and prisoners know that we have gathered at Huanglongpo Station to beg for food, so that everyone can join forces to denounce the evil grain officials! In that case, Guo Guo
It is unlikely that the servants would dare to act rashly. I wonder what the military envoys think?"
"That's how it should be!" Pan Chenghu nodded in agreement, but his heart was bleeding. They were originally going to encourage others to do this, so how could they have thought that he and Guo Junpian would be fighting?
"There are nearly five hundred soldiers and generals, and the prisoners are impetuous and cruel, and it is difficult to control them. We must also ensure that when we condemn and punish evil officials, there will be no riots beyond our control; and if Guo Shizhi and the evil officials snake,
If there is a nest of rats and we want to mobilize troops to suppress it, we must not just catch it without mercy - therefore, many people and horses need to be organized immediately,"
Xu Xinan stood up, walked to the hall, knelt down on one knee and said,
"But a snake cannot survive without a head. We should act in a unified manner under the name of the Food Requesting Army. We also ask the two military envoys Guo and Pan to take charge of themselves as the chief and deputy commanders of the Food Requesting Army to order everyone to obey orders and act! If anyone does not obey, everyone will get it.
Kill him!"
"Please ask the military envoys Guo and Pan to give orders!" Zhou Qinguang, Yuan Huidao, Xu Zhong, Zheng Tu and Tang Pan also ran to the hall on one knee and shouted in unison.
Guo Junpan and Pan Chenghu were in a daze, and couldn't help but think what an exciting scene this would be without Xu Huai, Tang Qing, and Yin Peng behind him!
"Of course it is our duty to lead the brothers to denounce and punish evil officials, but do you have any good suggestions on how to organize it in the future?" Guo Junpian hit his waist with something like a pestle, and gritted his teeth.
asked.
Xu Xin'an knelt in front of the hall and continued: "Five hundred men and horses should be assigned to the five capitals. In addition to the generals of Zhou, Yuan, and Xujie, each of them should lead one capital. In order to appease the prisoners, the Beaver King and King Kong should be elected.
When Yan Xiaoyi comes out, he will each lead one man and horse. Meng Laodao, Du Zhong, me, Tang Pan and Shen Zhen'e are the deputy generals, and their assistant generals will command the troops. The chief and deputy commanders are already black-hearted food at this time.
Officials are a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. They may be assassinated by assassins. Personal safety is the most important thing. We should use Yin Peng and Tang Qing as the festival level, and select ten or twenty strong men each to guard them at all times..."
Guo Junpan saw Pan Chenghu looking over pitifully and knew that if he nodded yes, not only would they bear the blame, but they would also have to be puppets and be controlled by these cruel and cruel guys. But if they didn't agree, they would also
There is no doubt that these guys who are a hundred times more sinister and ruthless than them will definitely turn them into corpses, then take their heads and escort Zhou Qinguang and others to pretend to kill and escape to find Guo Zhongxiong to claim their merits, and completely pour out the dirty water of mutiny.
onto their heads.
I remember that when they were in Tongbai Mountain, they killed people, set fires, and robbed young girls and wives, but they were not so ruthless!
