In Fagan County, northeast of Dongjun, the city is in chaos.
Less than three months ago, the local Yellow Turban Army suddenly rose up and killed the county magistrate. Several powerful people in the county had a bad fate. They were either exterminated, fled to the countryside, or their families participated in the Yellow Turban riots.
, it was in chaos for a while;
And ten days ago, the local Yellow Turban Army commander led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to Dongwuyang because he accepted the call. At that time, the city was already very unstable due to the loss of control;
However, after the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, the city truly fell into a completely unorganized chaos!
The defeat of the Yellow Turban Army; the heroes who counterattacked from the countryside under the banner of liberation; the rogues in the city; the rangers and bandits in the surrounding areas... In short, people from all walks of life were fighting and looting everywhere in the city, and they all planned to wait until the official army arrived.
Make a fortune in advance!
Of course, the interests these people seek are not the same, and some are not even seeking wealth at all... So, when the Han army's flag appeared in the distance on the horizon, the large-scale fighting in the city immediately stopped tacitly, and only
Those thieves and gangsters who are not on the stage are still setting fires, murdering and looting regardless of life and death.
"Don't rush to take over the county temple, and don't rush to sweep away the Yellow Turban garrison." As soon as he entered the city, he saw the mess. Guan Yu, who was ordered to come to the city to sweep away the Yellow Turban defeated troops and take over the county seat, became angry. "Block the surrounding city with me.
Then let the cavalry sweep through the streets and alleys carefully. Regardless of robbery, theft, or rape, all those who commit crimes and crimes will be captured! Those who are unreasonable and armed with blades will also be driven out with me to the streets to put out fires!"
After hearing the order, the subordinates naturally responded seriously... How could they not see that their immediate boss Guan Sima was really angry? And since the troops were sent out, everyone has become familiar with each other, and there are several subordinates
Are you not in awe of Guan Yu? Just kidding, who dares to talk nonsense to this master at this time?!
For a while, the cavalry swept around, and in the city gate, Guan Yunchang dismounted and stood there for a long time, his beard and hair moving in the wind. For a long time, until the afternoon, the order in the city gradually became visible to the naked eye, and he barely suppressed his anger and walked to lead the horse.
forward.
However, when he came to the street in front of the gate of the county temple, the fake Sima of the Han Army suddenly stopped: "Why are there so many people in the temple courtyard?"
"Report to Sima." A Northern Army Qu Junhou who was waiting here immediately bowed and reported. "Most of these people are county officials and big households in the county. They either captured the county temple in advance, or captured the Yellow Turban bandits in advance.
There are people in the mansion occupied by Xiao Shuai who are guarding the treasury. They are all meritorious people. This time, after putting out the fire in accordance with military orders, he came here specifically to see Sima..."
"Then let these meritorious people have an audience in the official temple." Guan Yu immediately mocked. "I will take care of things outside the official temple... get a few stools, and then go and bring all the thieves I caught."
Here, I want to personally investigate and identify, and then go to 'meet' those meritorious people in the evening."
Qu Junhou didn't dare to say anything at all. Instead, he simply closed the gate of the county temple and imprisoned a group of "meritorious ministers" inside the county temple to prevent Guan Yu from being upset, so he went to prepare stools.
In this way, a group of county officials, such as Hao You, were stunned and frightened through the gate in the county temple, while Guan Yu and his group of high-ranking Qu Junhou sat down peacefully on the street outside the county temple.
Among them, Guan Yunchang naturally twirled his beard and closed his eyes to rest, and waited quietly for the men and horses from all walks of life to bring the rebellious people to this place, while the 600-stone Qu Junhou was smiling happily and couldn't help chatting.
It is inevitable to smile and smile. If you win the battle, or if you win so quickly and decisively, then promotion and wealth will naturally be just around the corner.
However, there were also people with worried expressions on their faces, which seemed extremely abrupt, which immediately attracted the attention of their colleagues:
"Lao Pei is still worried about Mr. Xuande's injury?"
"It's no wonder that Lao Pei is like this. Liu Junxu is a decent Youzhou hero. When he saw Lao Pei falling from his horse, he went to save him himself. Unexpectedly, Lao Pei climbed on the horse and he himself fell into the Yellow Turban bandits."
"I heard that when Liu Jun was found, a ring-shaped knife was inserted straight into his lower abdomen. He escaped by lying on the ground and pretending to be dead... Fortunately, General Zhonglang did not see him after he returned, so he specially
Send someone to look for him, otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll be found in East County!”
Everyone said something to each other, and everyone sighed that Liu Bei had a great fate.
"I'm not very worried about the injury." Qu Junhou, surnamed Pei, listened for a long time, but couldn't help but shake his head. "I went to visit Mr. Xuande before leaving, and I realized that he had suffered such a deep stab in the abdomen, but he didn't have any injuries.
His internal organs were injured, so he recovered very quickly and was able to fall to the ground in a blink of an eye."
"Then this is a good thing. Why do you still look worried?" People around him were naturally puzzled.
"I'm worried about Lord Xuande's luck." Junhou Pei said with a frown. "I heard that when General Zhonglang defeated Guangyang Yellow Turban in Zhuo County, he also won such a great victory, but Lord Xuande actually won a great victory.
He was stabbed by an old man; in Weixiang, although there was a small setback, the casualties were not large, but he, a military prince who had been cut off, was stabbed again; now, just after the third battle, he was stabbed for the third time
...These three swords are each more severe than the last... Do you think he has some ideas about his destiny, is he in conflict with the army?"
"What does Lao Pei mean?" people around continued to ask.
"Since you have been saved by someone, you should try your best to help him." Pei Junhou replied calmly. "He is originally a son of Duke Lu, and he is also the junior brother of General Zhonglang and Sima of the army. After the war, he will discuss his merits and rank.
There should be nothing to worry about. I will ask my family to help when the time comes. Maybe I can help him get a county magistrate and turn him into a local official... However, looking at the current situation, the Yellow Turban bandits are still strong in the north and south, and there may be a war.
If we postpone it, we have to fight again, so what should we do if he gets stabbed again next time? What if he can't withstand it next time?"
Everyone was talking nonsense when they heard this... Some people said that asking a local witch to consecrate Liu Xuande or something; some people said that after three disasters were enough, maybe Liu Bei's fortune would turn around soon; some people said that this was a change of luck.
If you can't move, you might as well go back this time and ask General Zhonglang for a favor, and let Liu Xuande follow Wang Xiu and Wang Changshi to the Yellow River to take charge of logistics.
These few words were extremely ridiculous. However, in this era, witchcraft was widely spread among the people, and the military was naturally unavoidable. Such topics were extremely common... As a result, the few people talked further and further, and finally Guan Yu, who had read the classics, listened.
I couldn't help but open my eyes and start yelling.
However, fortunately, at this moment, the troublemakers who had been caught in the city were brought to the front, and a group of officers took the initiative to shut up.
"What crime did these people commit?" The mighty Guan Yunchang stood up, twirling his beard, and asked with a bit of anger. Several of the 600-Shiqu military marquis beside him who were gossiping also stood up and stood beside him with their swords in hand.
.
The so-called neat clothes, clear flags, and majestic appearance immediately calmed the scene.
"Report to Sima!" A team leader below immediately raised his voice and answered with his hands. "When I was sweeping the streets in Xicheng, I encountered these people sneaking around carrying a load of money, and I found something in their arms.
He found a bloody dagger and other items, as if he had just robbed a house and returned from stealing with the intention of escaping out of the city!"
"There are still so many people looting and stealing, they are just like a group of thieves!" Guan Yu said angrily. "Immediately show your head to the public in accordance with the law!"
Everyone gained the stolen goods. The thieves did not dare to cry out for injustice when they heard this. They could only kowtow and beg for mercy... But how could the Han knights who had just experienced such a battle tell them mercy? As soon as they received the order, they almost immediately took action.
They cut off the heads of these people directly.
In fact, on the street in front of the official temple at this time, no one was touched, whether they were officers or ordinary soldiers, or even the common people who came out to watch out of curiosity after seeing the officers and soldiers stationed in but did not commit any crime.
This is the human heart under war... Human life is worthless, let alone if there is a law to follow to kill thieves?
"Reporting to Sima, these people are accused of setting the fire!"
"cut!"
"Sima, these people are the Yellow Turbans' defeated troops and escaped from Dongwuyang. They were identified by the locals..."
"Have you done any evil since you returned here?"
"Never said anything."
"There are too many dead people on the banks of the Yellow River. There is no need to kill more people. Instead, they can serve as slaves in the army."
"Here."
"What crime did this boy with tied hair commit?" Guan Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Report back to Sima." After hearing the question, behind the young man with his arms tied, a village chief with swollen lips became furious. "This is a little horse thief!"
Guan Yu followed the sound and saw someone holding a tall white horse behind the village leader. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, and then sighed slightly and shook his head.
"General!" The young man was slovenly and his clothes were shabby. When he heard this, he struggled and shouted. "I didn't steal this horse!"
"Don't make excuses." Guan Yu saw that this man was very young, and after all he didn't want to kill him without teaching him. "You are dressed like this, and you look like a scoundrel in the city. How can you have such a splendid horse? You are like a defeated thief in the Yellow Turban.
Our army has not yet arrived, and chaos broke out in the city, and you took the opportunity to steal here!"
"General, please give me a warning!" The young man struggled more and more after hearing this, causing the two soldiers behind him to quickly take action and hold him down, which seemed to be a bit strong. "Although I took advantage of the chaos in the city to seize this horse, it is very
It’s theft…let me go!”
"Let him speak!" Guan Yu waved his hand to repel the two soldiers. "If it's not yours, how can it not be considered theft?"
"Report to the general!" In the mouth of the rogue young man who answered proudly on the ground, Guan Yu seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. "This is the horse of a yellow scarf thief leader in the city. After the defeat, he led his people back to the city and wanted to pack up his wife and escape, but he was
Cao, a thief from the county who had been hiding at home, led his men to chase him and drive him away. I was young and did not participate in this matter, but when I saw the yellow scarf thief leader taking advantage of the dusk to lead his men to escape hastily and no one pursued him, I took advantage of the situation.
Lu Shu and Ye Se chased them alone, and finally caught up with them more than ten miles west of the city..."
"Don't say that you killed a group of yellow turban thieves by yourself and robbed the horses!" The village chief, whose mouth was swollen, really couldn't bear to listen.
"There were so many of them, so of course I didn't dare to take action!" The young man's face turned red and he turned back angrily and replied. "So I took advantage of their unpreparedness, untied the horse's reins, and ran away... The other generation really didn't dare to come.
Chase!"
"Isn't it just as I thought, he's a horse thief? I guessed it as soon as I saw you holding the horse on the street." After the village chief finished speaking, he laughed, but stopped abruptly, as if by association.
Guan Yu's temper was felt, and he realized that the corner of his mouth was hit by this rogue boy's head in vain.
"Okay." Guan Yu really twisted his beard and said. "That makes sense... Let's untie him and let him lead the horse and stand aside to wait for the good criminals to be dealt with. I will ask the thief Cao later.
, if it’s right, let him go.”
Although the village chief below was angry, he didn't dare to say no. He immediately pulled out a knife and cut the rope off the young man's back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the young man was released, he turned around and grabbed the horse, quickly led it to Guan Yu, then held the rope and knelt down to worship him.
"What does this mean?" Guan Yu asked solemnly.
"General!" The young man held the reins with one hand and supported the ground with the other, kowtowing repeatedly. "This horse is dedicated to the general. Please allow me to join the army!"
Guan Yu sighed rarely and shook his head: "How old are you?"
"Seventeen...no, it will be eighteen tomorrow!" The young man responded quickly.
"General, don't be deceived by him. He just tied his hair this year and is fifteen." Someone behind him couldn't help shouting. "He is a well-known little scoundrel in the city. He has always been sneaking around and doing nothing!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" the young man shouted back, his face turned red, and he spoke earnestly to Guan Yu. "General, I am actually sixteen this year, and I have always been known as the number one in the West City when it comes to fighting in the city."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the surrounding officers and knights, but also the people watching all burst into laughter.
"It doesn't matter if you're sixteen or fifteen!" Guan Yu suppressed his patience and scolded. "At such an age, you should be making progress at home, studying, or practicing martial arts. Why don't you join the army?"
"General!" The young man was still reluctant. "My parents died young and my family is extremely poor. I can only survive by relying on the family's financial support. How can I make progress?"
Guan Yu was too lazy to listen to what he had to say and directly waved his hand to have the little scoundrel pulled down.
Seeing the other party's reaction, the rogue young man became even more anxious: "General Mingjian, I couldn't have thought of it for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the clan is not allowed to thief in the yellow turban, otherwise I would have been wrapped in the yellow turban that day! I also heard about the army stealing horses before.
The most elite ones all ride on white horses, so they ignored the gold and silver of the yellow turban thief leader and only stole the white horses before returning!"
Guan Yu rarely laughed, but still did not answer.
The two officers beside Guan Yunchang took matters into their own hands and easily pulled the young man up and to the side. The young man did not dare to resist anymore and could only retreat while shouting: "General, take me in! I am a poor leftist and a yellow turban thief."
The yellow turban thief is still like grass when he rises, the yellow turban thief is still like grass when he walks... I am all in vain, if I can't stand up with a sword, what else can I do? I can't serve as an officer today, are you going to force me to become a thief?
?!"
"Drag it back!" Guan Yu's expression suddenly changed.
The slovenly and ragged young man knew that he had made a mistake. After he was dragged back, he remembered the heads of the thieves who had been chopped off before. His hands and feet became cold and his limbs trembled.
When Guan Yu saw this scene, he wanted to scold him, but his heart softened.
"Both your parents died early?" After a long silence, Guan Yu asked slowly. "Does the clan only care that you don't starve to death?"
"Yes!" the young man responded carefully.
"You are not old yet," Guan Yu said seriously. "The army will not accept you as a regular soldier, let alone a white horse. But this horse is indeed a sacred horse..."
"I would like to offer it to the general!" The young man kowtowed quickly after hearing this. "I don't want to surrender to the army anymore."
"How can I covet your horse?" Guan Yu immediately said angrily. "I mean, if you offer the horse to my family, I will make the decision and let you join my army, get half salary, and be my personal guard. Please know that I
There is a weapon that weighs eighty-two kilograms. Although it is extremely sharp, it is difficult to use because of its heavy weight. Therefore, every time I go into battle, I have a bodyguard ride beside me to carry the sword for me. And I see that you are quite strong..."
"I'm willing to bear the sword for the general!" the rogue young man raised his head in surprise. "As an officer and soldier, you don't just have to eat, but you also get pay? You are much better than the yellow turban thieves!"
Guan Yu's anger was half gone when he heard this: "What's your name?"
"Pan Zhang!" The rogue boy quickly kowtowed again. "Fake the local Pan Zhang!"
"Pan Zhang?" Guan Yu leaned over and pressed his back. "When I was in Hedong, I heard a local old man say that when there was a war in Xiliang and young people were recruited to join the army, many young people with tied hair left in a hurry. At that time, the elders in the family
So I bound his head as a crown! Since you followed me today and there is no virtue in the clan to take care of you, I will decide to crown you and give you a title... Your name is Zhang, so you take the title Gui, and you are rude and unlearned.
, it’s time to practice prose... How about calling yourself Wen Gui?"
After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but kowtow and express his gratitude. He couldn't help but burst into tears. For a while, he was even confused about what his new word was.
Not to mention how Pan Zhang and Pan Wengui shed tears of gratitude to the noble man Guan Yu, nor how Gongsun Xun dispatched his generals to clear up and settle the situation in Hebei. It is only said that as the sky got darker that day, because wars and defeats all occurred in Hebei, counties in Henan
, especially Dong'a County, which has never been captured by the Yellow Turban thieves, still appears to be in order at this time.
"Zhong De Gong." Under the candlelight, Xue Fang, a local wealthy man who helped Cheng Li retake Dong'e County's prime minister that day, was sitting awkwardly on a high stool, and then respectfully reported something to Cheng Yu who had changed his name. "
As you said, we did not embarrass the county magistrate. He asked the young men of our clan to accompany the county soldiers to regain Fan County, and we did not refuse at all."
"That's enough." Cheng Yu continued to look at the "Taiping Jing" in his hand without even raising his head. "Is there anything else?"
"Hey," Xue Fang asked carefully. "Every household wants me to ask Mr. Zhong De..."
"What are you asking me for?" Cheng Yu reluctantly put down the book in his hand. "Are you asking why I resigned as a county official, or why I want you to try your best to cooperate with the Wenren County Magistrate?"
"Both."
"The world is going to be in chaos." Cheng Yu sighed rarely, then covered his head and replied calmly. "I am forty-four years old this year. I am already old. Isn't it okay to resign from the official position and stay at home?"
"this……"
"I know what you mean." Cheng Yu continued. "Since I declined General Gongsun's call, I will not go back on my promise. I will defend my hometown and will continue to do so... From now on, if there is any disaster in the village, you can do it regardless."
Just come and find me."
Xue Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for the Wenren County Magistrate." Cheng Yufu shook his head again and sneered. "Today I am no longer his official, so I have nothing to worry about. Although he is a waste, after all he is the Liubaishi County Magistrate and the official of the Han Dynasty.
! I ask you to obey him, not because I want you to obey the three words "wenshengsheng", but because I want you to abide by your duties and obey the Lord Dong'a County! Do you understand?"
"Understood." Xue Fang quickly stood up and saluted, looking like he was being taught. He didn't know whether he really understood or pretended to understand. "Thank you Mr. Zhong De for clarifying my doubts. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you."
"Then I won't give it away either." Cheng Yu simply said, "Be careful on the road."
Xue Fang said no more and left the hall. Cheng Yu's eldest son Cheng Wu escorted him all the way out of the Cheng Mansion before boarding the car to go home.
In other words, since Wang Du became a thief, the Xue family has become the largest family in Dong'a. Therefore, Xue Fang's dozens of strong men each held swords and carefully guarded them. They were rushing and rushing along the way, even when they passed by the county temple.
It doesn't stop, but it looks very powerful.
However, such a high-profile gesture caused a person standing in the gate of the county temple at dusk to hide his nose and glare. A closer look revealed that this person was Wen Shengsheng, the local county magistrate who "defended the country with merit".
"That person's arrogant attitude is completely unethical. Now they are taking advantage of their great achievements to look down on me. If I don't need that person, they will be humiliated sooner or later to vent the evil spirit in my chest." Wen Shengsheng put down his nose.
With his hand, he simply spoke.
"Why should the county monarch be angry?" A person standing next to Wen Shengsheng immediately bowed and smiled. "The county monarch has done a good job in defending the land. This time he has regained Fan County. Before the chaos is over in a few months, he will definitely be promoted to another place. When the county monarch comes, he will leave.
If you find something, just humiliate and ridicule Xue Fang."
Wen Shengsheng smiled and said nothing. He just stared at this person from a high position and asked: "Let's not talk about this, Chief Wang Ting, you just said that this afternoon, you found a lot of property that he had hidden in Wang Du's house, including some
Are these two ancient artifacts from the Zhou Dynasty real?"
"It's absolutely true." The pavilion chief quickly replied seriously. "It was just unearthed in the afternoon. All the valuables and antiquities are there. How can a small official dare to deceive the county king? The thief Wang Du's old house is in the city. If the county
If you don’t give up, I will drive the county king’s carriage now. I’ll be there in a moment. Please take a look at it in person!”
"Forget it!" Wen Shengsheng thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement. "If we go again tomorrow, the two ancient relics may still be there, and the property may be stolen by you cunning little officials!"
The pavilion chief Wang quickly went to the door to drive his car.
"Hold on! Your surname is Wang, so you must be from Wangdu's distant clan. Why are you so attentive?" Just as he was about to board the car, the county magistrate suddenly remembered something.
"That's why we need to be diligent!" The chief of the pavilion smiled more and more bitterly in the car.
When Wen Shengsheng heard this, he laughed proudly, then got into the car, and then asked two close clerks and four county soldiers to follow him in turn, and then allowed the car to go to the west of the city.
Just like that, the car arrived in just a moment as the pavilion chief said, and Wangdu's old house in the west of the city was indeed brightly lit, and there were dozens of strong men holding torches and hoe sticks there for a long time.
At this time... what's even more terrible is that when he only arrived in front of the courtyard gate, before entering, Wen Shengsheng saw with his own eyes a pile of money and silk piled up and scattered under the torch in the courtyard. There was a lot of money!
So, hearing that the county magistrate did not doubt that he was there, he got out of the car and rushed into the courtyard with the two officials and four county soldiers. Wang Du's distant tribe, the chief of the pavilion, came in last.
, but he turned back and closed the courtyard door.
The four county soldiers and the two county officials had no time to say anything, so they fell limply. It was not until the steel knife was placed on their necks that they were frightened by the news of life, but they did not dare to make a sound.
"Cut his tongue first."
A big man walked out of the shadows, and he became even more frightened when he heard that this man was Wang Du's confidant.
It was too late for Dan to do anything at this time. Before Wenren County Magistrate could scream in fear, four or five big men pinched his torso, two of them even forced his mouth open, and one of them directly pulled out a handle with a strong smell of fish.
The dagger pierced his mouth fiercely... Wen Shengsheng only felt a sharp pain, and then his nose, tears, and even feces and urine flowed out.
"Everyone!" The leader didn't feel happy when he saw this scene. Instead, he looked gloomy. "Your Majesty, you deserved your death. We have nothing to say. But as the so-called cannibalism of being loyal to others, we were raised by your Majesty."
After all these years, if you can’t do anything for it, how can you live with dignity?”
Everyone held torches, including the pavilion chief named Wang, who listened in silence.
"What the king said before his death was clear and correct. He rebelled, and the cause of the rebellion was because this person had been humiliated too much... The king was responsible for everything, and the reputation king was responsible for it, but this man was sitting in the temple all day long, sitting and reaping the credit.
In the end, he is still an innocent and moral gentleman, and he wants to use the king's hard work to get promoted and make a fortune! That's fine, it's fine for others to say that the king has no virtue... How can he condescendingly mock the king for his powerful appearance, no virtue, and no conduct?
What? Everyone, do you think there is such a truth in the world?"
No one should do it.
"That's right." When the man said this, he suddenly sneered. "In fact, this is the truth in the world... But it's not true, that's why the king rebelled! We are bringing him here today! No need to say more
Too much to say, let’s talk about how to deal with him?!”
"How about cutting each person into pieces?" Someone gritted his teeth.
"Just kill someone, how can there be any reason to dismember the body?" Another person immediately objected. "The king was very magnanimous before he died. We must not do such unprovoked cruelty in a foreign country, so as not to lose his face.
.”
"Then what should we do?" The original man immediately asked in turn. "I don't want to embarrass the king, but seeing how useless the county magistrate is, I'm worried that if one person kills him, he will die before everyone can take revenge.
Well, how can someone who has not taken action by then express such a bad temper?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"I have an idea." After thinking for a moment, the leader Wang Du's confidant suddenly spoke up. "Get a cloth bag and hang him under the eaves. Then everyone will take turns and beat him to death with sticks! Wait until everyone moves.
After you have vented your anger, let’s examine his body again! At that time, what if his whole body is left here for the people of the county to dispose of and bury?”
It was a good idea, and naturally everyone responded.
And since Nawen Shengsheng had his tongue cut off, he only felt unbearable pain and didn't understand what these people were saying. Therefore, he didn't know that he was on the verge of being dismembered, and he didn't know that he would be beaten.
Beat him to death...but what if he heard it?
The dozens of people who came down from the battlefield were no longer the disciples of a county magistrate a few months ago. They were said to have a heart of steel and sharp means. Even after the binding was completed, they simply put on cloth bags and directly tied up the Dong'e County people.
The order was hung under the eaves of the old house of the former Prime Minister Wang Du of Dong'a County... Immediately, everyone, including the chief of the pavilion, picked up sticks and beat the dignified county magistrate to death with sticks.
Under the eaves of the house.
Seeing that Wen Shengsheng was weak and stopped struggling just by counting the bag of sticks, everyone still felt unbearable grief and anger, and their anger was difficult to bear. But they couldn't beat another corpse, so as not to stain Wang Du's virtue, so they all stopped.
He remained speechless... But at this moment, the leader of Wang Du's confidants suddenly stepped forward, wiped a handful of Wen Shengsheng's blood from the ground with his hand, and then illuminated it directly under the corridor of the old house with the light of a torch.
There is a line written on the pillar:
The murderer is a guest of the king of Dong'a, and Hanoi's Chaoge is poisonous!
After writing so fiercely, Yu Du finally let go of the suffocation he had been holding in his chest for a long time since the battle between Cangting and Dongwuyang.
Seeing this, the others followed suit. Fifteen people in front and behind them, even though they were illiterate, begged others to finish writing these words hand by hand, and then returned to the courtyard... But they felt empty in their hearts, and they didn't know where to go!
"Brother Yu." The pavilion chief surnamed Wang thought over and over again, then simply stared at Yu Du and said bluntly. "Let's do this kind of thing and stop thinking about dividing the money and going home. You have an idea.
Fan has avenged my clan uncle again... I will let you go!"
The other thirteen people also responded immediately. Just as Wang Tingzhang said, by coming up with ideas to avenge Wang Du, Chaoge Yudu was already the leader of these dozen people.
And Yu Du also did his part: "The king asked us to live well before he died, so we must live well, and you all entrust your future to me. As the king's confidant during his lifetime, I have nothing to say... The current situation is nothing more than this.
Join the Yellow Turbans or become bandits! I thought about it over and over again. The officers and soldiers are so powerful that the Yellow Turbans cannot go to Jizhou and Yuzhou, because if they go, they will die. Besides, there is no shortage of people in those two places. We are ten
Even if a few people go there, they won’t be taken seriously.”
Everyone nodded.
"If you want to be a bandit." Yu Du continued. "There are only two places. One is to go to my hometown Hanoi in Hebei, and the north of Hanoi is the Taihang Mountains; the other is to go east to Mount Tai... What do you think?
Where are we going?"
The advantages and disadvantages of these two places are obvious. To go to Taihang Mountain, the leader Yu Du is naturally familiar with the place, but he has to cross a river and pass through an area densely populated by Han troops to reach it; and to go to Taishan Mountain, it is the other way around. Life there is
The place is unfamiliar, but there are no obstacles on the way.
As a result, the dozen or so people were talking endlessly, until the pavilion chief Wang suddenly mentioned something: "I heard several county officials mention it in the pavilion a few days ago, saying that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was arrested by the local people just after the incident.
Due to the government's suppression, Zhang Niujiao, one of Qingzhou's Yellow Turban commanders, has now fled to Mount Tai to settle down temporarily. If he was in Mount Tai..."
Yu Du's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Then let's go to Mount Tai to find him!"
"Why don't you go to Hanoi, your hometown, Brother Yu?" People around him were extremely puzzled.
"Since we are no longer worthy of the world, we will risk our lives to do something for the world to see!" Yu Du looked around with a torch and replied sternly. "After this battle, I'm afraid everyone will...
It can be seen that the main force of the Yellow Turban will be defeated sooner or later, but judging from that battle, the Yellow Turban banner is still used by the poor people! In this case, why not follow him while Zhang Niujiao is in trouble and borrow him in the future?
The banner stirs up the world, and showing my name to the world can be regarded as comforting the soul of the king, that we have not let him down!"
Everyone was silent for a moment and agreed.
So, the fifteen people took their weapons and each packed a small bag of belongings... They didn't bother to take care of the extra things. Then they climbed over the wall at night and strode towards the direction of Mount Tai, surrounded by the new leader Yu Duangran under the moon.
And went.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Dong'e County, which had not taken adequate precautions, discovered Wen Shengsheng's bruised and swollen body, and finally had no choice but to invite Cheng Yu to take charge.
However, in such a situation, what can Cheng Yu do? It is nothing more than directing everyone to collect the corpse and hand it over to the family of the county magistrate Wenren in the county temple, so that they can help the spirit return home and bury him alive;
The officials quickly wrote official documents and reported to Gongsun Xun, who was in charge of the overall situation in Yangzhijie, Dongwu, Hebei... The prefect of Dongjun fled to other counties at the beginning of the chaos, and was already punished by the court!
The body was carried out, and most of the people covered their noses and fled outside the courtyard, but Cheng Yu still stood in the courtyard full of blood, sticks, money and silk, staring at the names of the people on the corridor in trance.
Xue Fangzhan was trembling and bowed to Cheng Yu to report.
"It's not me!" Before the other party could speak, Cheng Yu said with a dark face without looking back.
Xue Fang smiled bitterly for a moment.
"It's really not me." Cheng Yu glanced at Xue Fang, and then let out a long sigh. "Has Mr. Xue ever seen a flood?"
Xue Fang immediately shook his head.
"The Yellow River embankment is impregnable. It's normal if you haven't seen it before." Cheng Yufu turned back and stared at those famous quotes with blood on people. "But I am older, and when I was a boy, I saw a flood in Dayeze, Jiyin County... At that time
When the flood came, the sky roared, and the mud and sand fell down, which was overwhelming. However, as long as you hid on high ground in advance, you would not be swallowed by the flood. Indeed, few people died that day! But after the flood receded, the ground was covered with mud, corpses, dragons, snakes, and insects.
They all hid in it, and suddenly there was a big epidemic, and ten rooms were empty!"
"What Mr. Zhong De means is..." Xue Fang suddenly looked at the line of words in front of him. As Wang Du's confidant, he also recognized Yu Du. "At this time, the flood had just receded, and dragons and snakes were already rising together, and insects were flying.
Are you dancing wildly?"
"Do you also know that the flood has just receded?" Cheng Yu's face was ashen, he waved his sleeves suddenly, and walked away with his head held high. "What is this? In the future, dragons and snakes will fight and swarms of insects will cover the sky. It's still early!"
Xue Fang pursed his lips and said nothing, but followed Cheng Yu's footsteps without stopping.
The poem says:
The five thieves suddenly burst out, and everything collapsed and ran away.
Don't use the gods' will to save Hua Chiyuan.
But learning the art of victory is better than having a military base.
Dragons and snakes compete to rise from the land, and fight for blood floating in the Central Plains.
