The sergeants on the city gate with their bows ready to shoot looked at each other in confusion. Are the warriors General Song sent out to work, or are they from Jinzhou? However, the barbarians should know the name of General Song when they come to Jinzhou. Is it possible that the barbarians have it?
Did you come up with such a clumsy way to deceive someone?
"Master Wei, the accent of one of them sounds like that of our Jinzhou people." The sergeant beside him whispered to Wei Weiyan, "But we can't be sure. Maybe you should send someone to General Song to ask for clarification first.
, isn’t it too late to open the city gate again?”
"Half-draw the bow." Wei Wei waved his hand to the soldiers around him to stop using the full-strength bow, "quickly go to General Song and ask if there is really anything about sending warriors to the north."
"Sir, please open the door quickly. If the two of us encounter a barbarian outside the city, we will be in danger in an instant!"
The shouts of the two people below the city became more and more urgent. The sergeant on the city couldn't bear it, so he told Wei Weiyan that it was better to let the people in first. Even if the five-flower tied man found out his identity, it would not be too late to loosen him and apologize, so he just let them in.
The two of them were left hanging outside, and they might be killed by the cold arrows of the barbarian rangers at some point.
Even if the garrison sergeants on the city took advantage of the location, the number of casualties and casualties in the exchange of bows and arrows with the barbarians below the city was only five to five, not to mention the huge two men and one horse on the flat ground, wouldn't they be living targets?
They were all from Yao, and the deputy captain of the city gate couldn't bear it, so he ordered his sergeants to open the city gate.
"You just opened the city gate like this, do you want to kill the whole city?" The fat voice next to the deputy lieutenant said with a slight breath, "How dare you open the city gate without my order?"
The lieutenant had no choice but to escape his reputation, and treated the person who spoke with the courtesy of meeting a superior officer. Although the city gate lieutenant usually took care of the gates on all sides of the city, it was nothing more than an ordinary and lucrative job. When the war started, he was still
They have to obey these officials who have been fattened by the money and money of the yamen. The Jinzhou soldier Cao Junjun He Qing in front of him can be regarded as the immediate superior of their entire city gate captain.
When Wei Wei heard the fat man's voice, his head hurt and he quietly moved two steps away, otherwise he would have to continue chatting with this man in official terms for who knows how long.
He Qing was originally a civil servant. He joined the army as a soldier in Jinzhou because the He family spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy it from a big boss in the Ministry of War in the capital. The number of soldiers in Jinzhou was so large that the monthly military pay alone was a sum of money.
It's a huge expense, not to mention the election of military officers, military equipment, door and camp keys, and beacon lords' announcements. None of them can bring in a lot of oil and water subsidies. Therefore, ten thousand taels of silver can be recovered in less than two years.
Come here.
If He Qing is just trying to get some money and water, but he is also a master who likes to dictate military affairs, euphemistically saying that he plans his own affairs in his position, when will his grandma be able to pay the three dollars owed to him by Chengmen Lieutenant?
If I can make up for my monthly salary, I have to give him three pillars of incense. How can I ask Mr. He to do anything else?
"Lieutenant Jiang, what kind of mystery is this barbarian under the city doing?" He Qing, who was bloated and bulky, had to work hard to climb the city wall. He couldn't catch his breath and said, "Why don't you order the sergeant to kill him with random arrows?"
The deputy lieutenant surnamed Jiang explained the reason to He Qing. When the latter heard that he was a warrior sent out by General Song, he was so shocked that he jumped up and said, "Since he is a member of General Song, why don't you come in quickly!"
"Master He, this is just a one-sided statement between two people in the city, but..."
"But what?" He Qing corrected his expression, "Since it's just a one-sided statement, I have to ask clearly before letting him in. I am now guarding the gate of Bingyuan City, so I can't be careless."
After coughing twice to clear his throat, He Qingti picked up the jade belt around his waist and climbed onto the city gate tower. He was of short stature and had to stand on tiptoes to poke his head out between the battlements:
"The people under the city are subordinates of General Jinzhou Song?"
Immediately, although the two of them were anxious, they saw a man's head sticking out of the city gate tower. He seemed to be a high-ranking official, so they patiently replied: "More than a month ago, General Song summoned half a hundred men in Jinzhou."
The martial arts warriors of Jianghu are heading north, and we are the manpower recruited by General Song!"
The man in the city's official accent made them feel unreasonable.
He Qing got a taste of the answers from Wei Changpan and Wei Changpan. Since they were not General Song's subordinates, they were at least not low-ranking officials. They were probably the muddy legs General Song picked up from the muddy ponds in the rivers and lakes. He couldn't afford to be friendly with them.
His words also showed his majesty in front of the soldiers on the city.
"Where did you two get back to Jinzhou from below the city?"
Wei Changpan informed him of the entire journey as soon as possible.
"We're talking about half of the Centurion heading north. Why are you the only two returning south?"
"They died of cold and starvation on the dangerous journey. Most of them died fighting with barbarians. When they returned, they were chased by a small group of barbarian horsemen, so there are only two of them left today."
"Since you said he was a martial artist sent north by General Song, do you have any evidence on him?"
"Going north and deep into the barbarian hinterland, you can't take it with you."
"How dare you lie in front of me! If it weren't for the fact that both of you were from Yao, I would have ordered people to shoot them with arrows just now!" He Qing thought that Wei Changpan and Wei Changpan's words were full of loopholes, so he shouted in a loud voice,
"Not to mention whether General Song ever issued an order for people to go north. Fifty people went but only two came back. Is it true that I am easy to fool?"
The sergeants on the city didn't know why. Only the city gate lieutenant and deputy lieutenant vaguely understood what the soldier Cao Shenjun meant...
Wei Wei was born in the army, and he fought bloody battles with the barbarians before he got the job of being a military commander of the city gate of Bingyuan City. However, his abilities and courage were still there, and his temper was not much better than before.
Hearing the meaning of He Qing's words, he felt uncomfortable and his anger gradually increased. However, due to He Qing's identity as Cao Cao, he did not get angry immediately, but his complexion was already quite bad.
He Qing didn't bother to look at the faces of the people around him. He was busy preparing his next words, "Right now, the barbarians are rampant north of Bingyuan City. You two also said that you were chased by barbarians on the way.
, half of the Centurions are dead, why did you two escape back?"
Even Wei Changpan understood the man's sinister tone, and the fat official in the city almost asked him directly how the two of them did not die in the north but came back alive.
"No matter what dirty tricks you two used to escape, or whether you are subordinates of General Song or spies of the barbarians, I know one thing. Letting you two in will definitely not be conducive to the defense of the city.
I am kind-hearted and do not want to use swords against Yao, so I quickly retreat and find a remote place to stay alive to atone for the sins of this life..."
"I will fight your mother!"
Liu Ziyi couldn't help it anymore, he took out a small knife and threw it towards the city gate tower. The height of the round city was more than three feet and six feet. In anger, Liu Ziyi was surprisingly accurate in throwing the knife and stuck it diagonally on the battlement.
On the bricks and stones, Li Bing Cao Canjun He Qing's head was only a few inches away.
He Qing, who had been a Taiping military attaché for most of his life, was nothing but a proficient calculator.
He is a scholar who knows nothing about martial arts. He has only read a few books on war, and he is quite capable of rhetoric. He is also proficient in dealing with people. He sits calmly in this position and never thought that one day he would be decapitated by a flying knife.
.
The deputy lieutenant surnamed Jiang was only a short distance away. The flying knife flew up to a height of three feet and six feet. Halfway there, it was already weak. When it reached the city head, it was easily knocked down. However, He Qing's previous words made everyone of them
You all feel that you have suffered such great humiliation. After all the hard work and narrow escape, you just said that you are a spy of the barbarians. I didn’t attack you with a knife. I respect the officer, but you also want me to block the attack for you.
Knife? Daydreaming.
He Qing, who was born with a short stature, had to stand on tiptoes to stick his head out on the battlement to talk. He was also fat, and his legs were shaking after standing for a long time. He didn't have anyone to bring him a bench to cushion him.
He was knocked backwards by the flying knife and fell backwards. In addition, He Qing was too bloated and could not get up for a while.
The laughter of the sergeant beside him was heard by He Qing, and he said bitterly in his heart, laugh, laugh, I will see how you can still laugh if you don't get paid for another month.
"You failed to assassinate a Yao official in public. You are so brave. If I hadn't been blessed with great fortune, wouldn't it be possible for you two traitors to succeed?" He Qing struggled, his face turning green and red, "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
If this arrow is shot out, there will be no room for maneuver. Wei Wei admires the courage of the two men in the city from the bottom of his heart. He has already believed most of what Wei Changpan and the two said. Such a person died under He Qing's random arrows. Uncle
I can’t bear it, and neither can my aunt!
"Master He, these two people were disrespectful to Yao officials and committed crimes of collaborating with the enemy and treason. If they were shot to death by random arrows like this, it would be a bit of an advantage for them. Why don't we lead people down and capture them alive, and let your lord punish them?"
Can you relieve the evil in your heart?"
It would be absolutely impossible to persuade He Qing to let these two men go, based on Wei Wei's understanding of He Qing's temperament. Only by capturing these two men can we ensure their safety for a while before making any plans.
"Best, best." He Qingyin laughed jeeringly, "Please, Lieutenant Wei, please don't let these two people come back with missing arms and legs. It would be pointless to play around like that."
He Qing's reputation for whipping his servants to death was well known in Bingyuan City. Although he was suppressed by the government, the tragic situation when the servants were carried out of He's house could not be faked. If those two people really fell into He Qing's house,
In the hand, it is really not as satisfying as shooting to death with random arrows.
When Wei Wei rushed down the city wall, he spoke to his confidants, "Go to General Song to explain the reason quickly. Please order us to come down and save the lives of these two people first."
Then the gate of the northern wall of the round city opened a gap that could only allow one person and one horse to pass through. Wei Wei took the lead, and then more than twenty horses filed out.
They were not killed by barbarian arrows, but were about to die in the hands of their own people. Wei Changpan and Wei Changpan were heartbroken and unwilling to turn around and run away. The world is so big that it can only tolerate a few bereaved dogs. So the two of them were easily captured.
