Chapter seven hundred and sixty fifth loyal minister
Chapter 765 Loyal Minister
Time passed day by day, and Yuan Shu finally led his army to Chengde.
"County magistrate, Yuan Shu's army has reached the outside of the city. Where should we go?"
The county captain Zheng Hui glanced at the county magistrate and asked him directly.
"Where to go?
We eat the emperor's salary and are loyal to the emperor. Yuan Shu's rebellious ministers and traitors will be punished by everyone. We should do our best to defend the enemy from outside."
The county magistrate Zhou De looked at the county captain, his eyes full of indignation. In his opinion, since the Han Emperor had arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou occupied the orthodox position, and Yuan Shu who came to attack him was a traitor. Since he was a traitor, then
That means everyone gets it and kills it.
"The county magistrate has only a thousand soldiers, but Yuan Shu has an army of tens of thousands. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the enemy even if they all die in battle."
After hearing the county magistrate's words, the county magistrate frowned.
"If you can't stop it, you must stop it. Even if the city is destroyed and you die, you can't lose His Majesty's power. I ordered the young men in the city to go up the city wall to resist the Yuan thieves."
Zhou De was somewhat loyal and directly ordered the dispatch of young men to the city to help defend the city.
"grown ups."
Zhou De's words made the county captain's face turn pale. What would happen if you sent all the best men in the city to the city wall?
Yuan Shu's strength is so powerful that even if all the strong men in the city are dead, he still can't be stopped.
"I have made up my mind, don't say anything more, otherwise I will be treated as surrendering to the army and executed immediately."
Seeing that Zheng Hui wanted to speak, Zhou De's eyebrows immediately raised, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes.
"promise."
Looking at Zhou De, Zheng Hui couldn't help but tremble, then he cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Go ahead."
Zheng Hui left the county government directly.
"In peacetime, I see a slight twinkle in Zheng Hui's eyes. You go with him. If he makes any move, kill him directly."
Watching Zheng Hui leave, Zhou De glanced at the county magistrate beside him.
"I will obey your orders."
Huangpu, the county magistrate, clasped his fists and followed Zheng Hui away.
"Lord County Captain, please wait for me."
Huangpu went out and directly caught up with Zheng Hui who was leaving.
"Lord County Magistrate, what are you doing here?"
Zheng Hui turned around and glanced at Huangpu, his eyes full of doubts.
"My lord, the county magistrate has asked me to come and organize the troops with you. If you make any move, please order me to kill you directly."
Huangpu directly informed Zheng Hui of Zhou De's arrangement.
"Huangpu, what do you mean?"
Hearing Huangpu's words, Zheng Hui was stunned. The county magistrate asked you to spy on me, but you directly stated the purpose. What the hell?
"My meaning couldn't be more obvious. The county magistrate wants to be loyal to the big man. I don't want to lose my life for the sake of an illusory reputation. Will you do it?"
Huangpu looked at Zheng Hui with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"You mean we kill Zhou De and then surrender the city?"
Seeing the cruel look in Huang Pu's eyes, Zheng Hui instantly understood what he meant.
"It depends on the situation. Let's put someone under house arrest first, and then hand him over to Yuan Zhoumu when he comes to the city."
Huangpu shook his head. It was a bit unpleasant to ask for glory behind his back, but if Zhou De was put under house arrest, there would be no problem.
"Okay, I will immediately send people to surround the county government office."
Zheng Hui also nodded. To be honest, he didn't want to kill Zhou De. Although this person seemed a bit pedantic now, he was good to them. It would be difficult for him to do it, but he would be able to accept house arrest.
"Well, let's do it."
"knew."
Zheng Hui soon transferred two hundred county soldiers to put Zhou De under house arrest, and then he climbed onto the city wall to wait for Yuan Shu's arrival.
"Go and persuade us to surrender. Don't attack the city if you can. The big man has left too much blood."
Yuan Shu's army arrayed under the city. Looking at the terrified soldiers on top of the city, he directly ordered to persuade them to surrender.
Gao Shun rode forward slowly and came directly to the city gate.
"I am the trapped general under the command of Jizhou Mu. I give you a quarter of an hour to surrender. Otherwise, the whole city will be in mourning when the city is broken."
Gao Shun was so angry that he directly shouted to the soldiers on the city wall.
"Crunch."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the gate of Chengde slowly opening, and the county captain Zheng Hui and the county magistrate Huangpu came out directly from the door.
"Zheng Hui, Lieutenant of Chengde County."
"Chengde County Huangpu."
"We sincerely welcome Yuan Zhoumu to the city."
The two men knelt in front of Gao Shunma and expressed their allegiance to him.
"One of you is the county magistrate and the other is the county captain. Where is the county magistrate?"
Hearing the positions of the two men, Gao Shun couldn't help but frown. Could it be that these two guys killed the county magistrate?
"The county magistrate wants to lead the city to fight to the death with Mr. Zhou Mu, but we don't want to die, so now we have the county magistrate under house arrest in the county government office."
Seeing Gao Shun frowning, the two of them also felt trembling, and quickly told Zhou De's situation.
"I see."
Without any nonsense, Gao Shun returned directly to Yuan Shu.
"Is everything okay?"
Seeing Gao Shun return, Yuan Shu also asked in a low voice.
"Well, it was the county magistrate and the county captain who surrendered to the city. The county magistrate wanted to fight to the death, but they put him under house arrest in the county government office."
Gao Shunchong nodded to Yuan Shu and repeated what the two said to Yuan Shu.
"He is a foolish and loyal man. Let's go into the city."
Yuan Shu didn't pay attention and led his troops directly into Chengde City.
As soon as Yuan Shu entered the city, before he reached the county government office, he saw a plume of thick smoke rising straight into the sky.
"what's the situation?"
Looking at the thick smoke not far away, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frowned.
Huang Pu and Zheng Hui, who were leading the way in front of the horse, saw the thick smoke and had bad thoughts in their minds.
"Maybe, maybe the county government leaked the information."
After thinking for a while, Zheng Hui told Yuan Shu about the possible situation.
"Go quickly."
When he heard that the county government was in trouble, Yuan Shu immediately galloped towards the county government with his soldiers and horses.
When I arrived at the county government office, I saw county soldiers guarding the door frantically trying to put out the fire. The entire county government office was shrouded in flames.
"what's the situation?"
Zheng Hui looked at the situation in front of him and directly pulled a county soldier over to ask.
"My lord, the county magistrate wanted to leave the office just now, but we stopped him. After a while, the county office burned down."
The county soldier was also confused and explained to Zheng Hui.
"Lord, do you see?"
Dian Wei suddenly pointed to the roof of the county government office, and saw a man standing on the roof of the county government office amidst the smoke.
"Who is that?"
Yuan Shu also saw the people on the roof, his eyes full of doubts.
"Reporting to your lord, that is Zhou De, the magistrate of Chengde County."
The man on top of the yamen was none other than Zhou De, the magistrate of Chengde County who was placed under house arrest by Zheng Hui.
I saw Zhou De grabbing a wine bottle and pouring it into his mouth. It didn't matter even if he was full of wine.
"Yuan Gongdao, I am the magistrate of Chengde County who was conferred by the Han Dynasty. These slaves are afraid of death and put me under house arrest. They let you enter the city, but I am not afraid of you. You can occupy Chengde, but Zhou De will not give in. The rebellious ministers
Thief, you will not end well, Your Majesty, Zhou De took the first step, hahahaha."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of flames shot up into the sky and directly enveloped Zhou De.
"Ha ha ha ha"
"Rebellious officials and traitors will not end well."
