Chapter 70: How to Kill in the Hometown of Confucius and Mencius?
Yun Zheng stretched out his hand to support the crumbling Bao Zheng and said: "There is no need for you to come in now. Since ancient times, military generals have broken down the city and civilian officials have appeased them. Please wait for a while. When we kill all the thieves, you will be needed to appease the people. It will probably be very long." Trouble, look at it, I have almost killed all the thieves, and no one in this city is willing to come out to kill the thieves. They have no courage to deal with thieves, but they will definitely be very courageous to deal with you.
Bao Zheng sat on the stone drum at the gate of the county government office, looked at the war that had gradually subsided and sighed: "The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north. The armor is infested with lice, and all the surnames die. The bones are exposed in the wild, thousands of miles away. The rooster crows, and the people are left with only one thing. Thinking about it will break people's hearts.
Hundreds of people want to carve a seal in the north, why is this?"
Seeing that the local officials had slowly become familiar with the killings on the battlefield, Yun Zheng returned his sword to its sheath, mounted the big green horse and turned back to Bao Zheng, saying: "I wish I could kill all the people in the world who want to be king. Now, some thieves have taken advantage of this." Fleeing towards Xianyuan County in disorder, I have done my duty of eradicating evil, I will come back as soon as I go."
Bao Zheng was startled and said repeatedly: "Go quickly, go quickly, there can't be any problems with Yan Shenggong!"
Yun Zheng laughed, then rode towards the east of the city, followed by a long line of black-armored men covered in blood...
Ma Da, Zhang Qing and more than 400 bandits left Zoucheng and ran wildly towards Xianyuan County. There were no war horses, only a dozen or so horses pulling carts. It took only a stick of incense to leave the city, and the horses' buttocks were covered with spots. of blood.
After running up a high slope, Motor and Zhang Qing looked back at Zoucheng with thick smoke behind them, looked at each other and laughed.
"Even though the Cloud Demon King is brave and invincible, he still drank my brother's foot-washing water. Brother, do you think the Cloud Demon King will come after me?" Zhang Qing laughed and asked Ma Da, who was also happy.
"He will definitely chase after him. Once the Cloud Demon King finds out that you and my brother used the golden cicada to escape from the shell, he will definitely be furious. However, he is an official of the imperial court and cannot ignore Zoucheng's safety. If he wants to chase after him, it is obvious. The day after tomorrow, we have two days to capture the low-walled Xianyuan County. By the time Cloud Demon King comes, we have already robbed enough money and escaped into Culai Mountain. By then, Cloud Demon King will be powerful. There is no way to find us out of the dense forest. Cuulai Mountain is where our brothers grew up. Who can know it better than our brothers? Once we enter the mountain, we will break the golden lock and drive away the dragon. No one can do anything to us. "
As soon as Ma Da finished speaking, the bandits around him agreed with a loud voice. There was a flood of flattery for a while. Ma Da waved his riding whip in high spirits, pointed at Xianyuan County and said: "Let's go to Xianyuan County!"
Ever since Mada Zhang Qing occupied Zoucheng, the public sentiment in Xianyuan County, which is less than a hundred miles away from Zoucheng, has been unstable. Everyone knows that thieves will come sooner or later, so Xianyuan County has closed its gates tightly these days. Yan Shenggong, Xianyuan County Kong Zong, the magistrate of the county, was unwilling to eat these days and could not sleep at night. He wrote to his old friends who were officials in the vicinity of the Kong family, hoping that they could send troops to support him. The matter of marching to Shandong.
Kong Zongyuan himself also called on the descendants of the Kong family to defend the ancestral home to the death, and on the other hand, he hurriedly ordered the most outstanding sons and nephews in the family to leave Xianyuan County to avoid disaster, leaving the seeds for the Kong family that could shine on the lintel. This is the most common method for a large family. .
Use force to fight against the rebels, intimidating the rebels not to easily attack Xianyuan County. It worked very successfully at the beginning. Ma Da and Zhang Qing did not dare to think that the biggest reason for attacking Xianyuan County was the fear of the thousand-year-old Kong family. This kind of accumulated prestige
It has long been integrated into the bloodline of Mada Zhang Qing, who is also from Lu. Therefore, the Kong family only needs to wait for the court to eliminate this group of rebels and restore the old appearance of Xianyuan County.
This is not the only example of rebels appearing in Shandong. Such rebellions can be said to have emerged in endlessly in recent years, but they have not caused any substantial harm to the Kong family. Therefore, although Kong Zongyuan was worried, he did not feel desperate and continued to follow the previous preparations step by step.
Responded.
However, this time Yun Zheng is here.
His purpose was to meet Kong Zongyuan, the leader of Qingliu, but he could not find a suitable souvenir. A general who killed many people was always a figure that the Kong family despised. The more people he killed, the more the Kong family despised him! Because of this
It goes against the moral etiquette of our ancestors.
Bringing gold, silver, pearls and jade to the Kong family will only make them look down upon you. As for beauties... forget it, Mr. Kong will use a walking stick to drive shameless villains like Yun Zheng out of the house.
Not only was Yun Zheng unpopular with the Kong family, but Di Qing was also the same. Ouyang Xiu was good, but Ouyang Xiu would never help Yun Zheng introduce Kong Zongyuan. If it was Yun Er, Ouyang Xiu would probably be very happy.
So as soon as Yun Zheng heard that Ma Da Zhang Qing rebelled in Zoucheng, he and Di Qing immediately toasted in the wooden house to celebrate. They both said that encountering a pillow when dozing off is a kind of happiness, and Ma Da Zhang Qing is Yun Zheng's pillow.
The only pity is that their power is too weak. If there are a few thousand people, the Kong family may feel threatened. Yun Zheng, who is afraid that Zhang Qing is not strong enough, painstakingly drives all the bandits around Zoucheng to Zoucheng.
City, so that the Kong family feels a little pressure.
When a prince was hunting in Shandong, he suddenly encountered bandits attacking the Kong family, and he helped to eliminate the crisis. No matter how much the Kong family disliked seeing Yun Zheng, the devil who was notorious all over the world, since they were helping the Kong family
A military disaster was avoided. No matter from which aspect, the current head of the Kong family must invite Yun Zheng into the Kong family to express his gratitude...
So when they heard that the number of bandits in Zoucheng had reached 2,000, the Kong family really couldn't sit still. Not only did they send all their servants to the city wall, but they even went crazy to report to the capital.
The Kong family is a literary family, famous all over the world for its moral articles. Force has never been the pursuit of the Kong family. In order to show their purity, they even deliberately weakened the force of the Kong family infinitely.
"If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished; if the things are not accomplished, the rituals and music will not be popular; if the rituals and music are not popular, the punishment will not be appropriate." This is the rule that the Confucius strives for, and there is no weapon in it.
Location.
The Kong family is a scholar, and Yunzheng is a soldier. If you go to the Kong family to discuss knowledge, you will be laughed at by everyone in the world. Therefore, if the Kong family encounters unreasonable people like robbers or soldiers, Yunzheng will have
A little bit of hope.
Because Yun Zheng and his generals were riding war horses, even if they took a detour, they arrived at Xianyuan County before Zhang Qing. The whole army was lying in ambush in the dense forest to the north of Xianyuan County, eating and quietly waiting for the arrival of the traitors.
.
The monkey jumped from the north and whispered to Yun Zheng who was taking a nap: "Those rebels are useless. They have just arrived in Floating Water Town. They are still fifteen miles away. Look at how they are dragging their feet. Why?
It will take an hour to get here."
Yun Zheng opened his eyes and glanced at the setting sun. He said "Hmm" to indicate that he understood, and continued to close his eyes to sleep. The monkey rearranged the sentry, and found a suitable grass nest to lie down in.
Go to sleep, there will be a killing waiting for you in an hour. Killing is a trivial matter. Jiaziying is specialized in doing this. The problem is that the Marquis said that killing should be done gracefully. This is very troublesome. How to kill gracefully?
A monkey that is used to killing people really doesn’t know.
As long as you are a scholar, you will automatically know etiquette and keep your word when you come to the door of the Confucius family. As long as you are a warrior, you will consciously put away your weapons when you come to the door of the Confucius family. Even if you are a thief, you will know how to do it alone when you come to the door of the Confucius family.
Pretend yourself to be a kind and harmless person, because even if the Kong family gives food to beggars, they will give it to the beggar with both hands, and there will never be any behavior of asking for food.
Therefore, Yun Zheng believed that when killing people in front of the Kong family, they should do it as elegantly as possible. As for how to tie Ma Da and Zhang Qing with a ribbon, dress them up and send them to the Kong family, Yun Zheng thought about it for a long time but had no idea.
.
It would be nice if Xiao Lin was here. He could catch the two gifts without anyone noticing, then pack them and send them to the Kong family. Yun Zheng knocked on his head. It was indeed a mistake not to bring Xiao Lin with him when he came.
.
Different from Yun Zheng's sorrow, Kong Zongyuan looked sad. The thieves were located fifteen miles away from Xianyuan County. It was said that there were no less than 500 people. They had a banner but said they had 5,000 people. Although it was ridiculous, Kong Zongyuan
Seeing the policeman and servants with trembling legs, they didn't find it funny at all.
The Kong family had been literati for generations and were extremely lacking in force. Every war was passed down through sacrifice and evasion. Some of the records in the family classics are stained with blood and tears when Kong Zongyuan reads them now.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, my family crossed the Yangtze River and migrated south. After hiding for hundreds of years, when the world was at peace, I found out when I returned to my ancestral home that the clan members who stayed in the north had disappeared for a long time. Those ancestral graves were covered with...
grass……
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the family once again suffered heavy losses. Continuous wars turned Lu Di, the land of poetry and etiquette, into a man-eating monster. Qin Zongquan, the man-eating demon king, even said that the people of the Kong family tasted special.
…
Now, the bandits are here again, taking five hundred people and heading towards the Kong family. They were defeated at the hands of the legendary general Yunzheng, but they fled to Xianyuan County to wreak havoc on the Kong family.
Xianyuan County actually belongs to the Confucius family, from the land to the city. Countless children of the Confucius family live and thrive here. It is natural that all the resources here belong to the Confucius family. This has nothing to do with greed, but only with the number of people.
Related, there are 6,300 households in Xianyuan County, 1,200 households with the surname Kong...
"Jiu Gong, we only need to hold on for one day. Marquis Wenxin is in Zoucheng and he will come to pursue these rebels."
Kong Zongyuan looked back at his grandson Kong Yuanda who was speaking, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course he will come. He has driven all the bandits to Xianyuan County. What can we do if we don't deal with them?"
Kong Yuanda said in astonishment: "Jiu Gong, do you think Yun Zheng did it on purpose?"
Kong Zongyuan coughed slightly and said: "An invincible general with cavalry went to exterminate two thousand rebels, but he actually allowed five hundred rebels to escape. I can't think of any other reason other than doing it deliberately."
