At midnight, there was a sudden commotion in Qixian County. After hearing the commotion, the few residents in the county hid their heads in bed. The army came and went, and the wars happened one after another, which made these residents get up to inquire about the commotion.
I have lost all my courage. No matter how much trouble there is outside, it is good to be able to hide at home and enjoy some peaceful time. Just wait for the rebels to burst into the house, burn, kill and loot, so be it! Anyway, it can delay some time.
Some of them have become as cold as iron.
In the county government office of Qi County, the obese Zhixian Wei was sweating profusely. In these short two years, Zhixian Weixian's life journey was extremely exciting. He seemed to be on a roller coaster, going up and down.
Several times.
When the peasant army first entered central Henan, the magistrate of Wei County immediately hid in the nearby mountains as soon as he learned of the peasant army's approach. When the situation calmed down a little, he returned to the county seat and continued to be his county magistrate.
At this time, the Ming court was no longer responsible for requiring officials like Wei Zhixian to defend their territory. There was no way to ask them. Even the newly arranged officials would rather abandon their official positions than go to a place where they would die like this. So as long as people like Wei Zhixian still claimed
For those whose hearts are devoted to the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty's eyes were opened and closed.
However, the peasant army was wreaking havoc back and forth too frequently, and it was very tiring to climb mountains frequently. Not to mention that Weizhi County was still very "spectacular". So when there was no way to hide, Weizhi County simply surrendered to the peasant army and started.
At this time, Chuangying also wanted to set some examples of obedient officials, so they followed the trend and also retained the magistrate of Weixian County as the magistrate of Qixian County.
As an important peripheral stronghold in Qixian County, the peasant army originally arranged a large army here. However, with the attack of the Yu and Yang coalition forces, the peasant army also deployed most of its troops to encircle and suppress this official army, including
Most of the troops in Qixian County were removed.
But after the Runing Army sent troops, the Peasant Army realized that the stronghold in Qixian County needed to be strengthened. However, time was tight, and the main force of the Peasant Army was restrained by the Heiyun Army in Yanghuang Town. Therefore, Li Zicheng could only hurriedly let a few nearby troops
A branch of the peasant army entered Qixian County.
At this time, Weizhi County's extravagant eloquence came into play. In terms of fighting, any small leader selected from the peasant army was stronger than Weizhi County. But in terms of eloquence, the nearly four thousand peasant soldiers in Qixian County
, together they are no more powerful than Magistrate Wei alone.
The more than a thousand peasant troops originally left in Qixian County have long been bought by Weizhi County. In addition, most of the peasant troops from the side branches are from Henan. They have a natural fear of the Runing Army, so in
After some lobbying by Weizhi County, most of the peasant troops were ready to follow Weizhi County and surrender to the Runing Army.
After that, there were some operations to remove "weeds". So tonight, Wei Zhixian arranged his trusted troops to eliminate those stubborn peasant army leaders. And the mutiny went smoothly. It was only midnight, and Wei Zhixian had already
After regaining control of Qixian County, we are waiting for the arrival of the Runing Army.
"Master Shu! I can't deal with those wallflowers. I feel disgusted when I see their faces. So I leave this kind of appeasement and recruitment to you!" Yang Rusong smiled at Shumo.
"You will encounter more of this kind of thing in the future. Learn more." Shumo smiled and taught Yang Rusong, "It's just talking about people when you see people, and talking about ghosts when you see ghosts. I really can't stand it. Kill a few people on the wall.
That's okay. But you are also a general who leads the army, so you need to show the official authority of a general. Don't be like your father. After becoming such a big official, you still don't have some momentum. To be honest, you still have the authority of your mother.
That's good enough. However, the manpower we have on hand is indeed too small, and they are all fighting, but there are not many who manage the local area. The young master also said: Just use the ones that can be used! Although the people on the wall are not good enough,
But we don’t want to marry them home as wives, as long as they work for our Runing Army. We can just turn our eyes and close our eyes on some things! As long as they don’t oppress the people too much.”
"To be honest, I really don't want to deal with these troublesome things. It would be so refreshing to fight for merit on the battlefield with real swords and guns! Who wants to do that kind of intrigue?" Yang Rusong complained.
"Okay, okay! Let me show up today!" Shumo said with a smile, "If you can capture Qixian County without losing any blood, your sons will always be less injured. We generals are just disgusting, so forget it. Besides,
, with the surrender of the civilian thieves in Qixian County, the civilian laborers who continued to build the fortifications will also be found."
"The heavenly soldiers have arrived. Wei Zhongting, the magistrate of Qixian County, led the entire county to greet the two generals!" On the road ahead, Magistrate Wei and the surrendered peasant army leaders knelt in the middle of the road to welcome them. Behind them, the surrendered peasant army soldiers also
They all abandoned their weapons and knelt unarmed on both sides of the road to greet them.
Shu Mo smiled and raised his eyebrows at Yang Rusong, and said in a low voice: "Just watch out! Don't look at that man who used to be a county magistrate. If I want his wife today, he will give it to me with both hands with a smile. But here I can
In such troubled times, he can still be like a fish in water. This person is also a slippery and sinister person. As long as you can control him, you will be able to use him very smoothly in the future."
"But if our Runing army leaves this place, will the Wei magistrate sell us?" Yang Rusong asked strangely.
"Definitely! And we will sell it as quickly as possible." Shumo said with a smile, "But we will only use his time. As long as we keep winning, such a 'smart person' will not betray him casually. In the future
You will know that it is sometimes easier to use a villain than a gentleman."
Today Shu Mo's words completely overturned Yang Rusong's world view. Then he saw Shu Mo step forward with a smile on his face and said: "I have heard for a long time that the magistrate of Wei County is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness, and he endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens for the court. When I see you today, I am really lucky for Wu. Hurry up.
Please get up and ask Magistrate Wei to introduce everyone around you!"
"Don't dare! Don't dare! I have heard for a long time that General Wu is the commander-in-chief's confidant. He is really majestic and has a bright future. Being able to see him today is also a blessing from my previous life. I also give it to the general.
Let me introduce: This person is Lord Bo Yan Zheng Kuan."
"I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time!"
"This is the former commander of Qi Huqi from the bandit Qijia camp."
"I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time!"
…
Seeing Shu Mo greeting the surrendered Magistrate Wei and the others like a fish in water, occasionally chatting cordially and joking, Yang Rusong secretly shook his head in his heart. This kind of thing is really not something ordinary people can do.
Made it!
On August 17, Yang Rusong and the Shu Mo Division on the right successfully captured the county seat of Qixian. Such a rapid advance immediately opened a large hole in the encirclement of the Li and Luo coalition forces. So the Li and Luo coalition forces immediately mobilized
When dispatching generals, they must first block the Runing army in Qixian County. (To be continued...)
