Chapter 1363: Luck
It was dark, and the rain was still dripping, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.
Dongliu County is closed to martial law, and the people are not allowed to go out to the streets at will, but on this rainy day, the people will not go out and run around if they have nothing to do, and they are chatting at home about the gossip in the city today.
The dilapidated county government is full of lights, and the gentry of the city and city set up a banquet here to entertain the regular army of the imperial court, and the thieves are never soft on the rich gentry, as long as they are targeted and do not die, they have to lose their skin, so they are also extremely hateful to the thief army. Only when you are hungry do you know that your mother is good, and it turns out that officers and soldiers are the closest people.
The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and although these squires had been tortured by the thieves and plundered, they were still far from being comparable to the ordinary people.
The banquet is very rich, with meat and wine, Chang Yu has always spoiled the guards, knowing that he has not been drunk for more than a month, so he will let them have fun tonight, anyway, he is generous to others.
Chang Yu doesn't like to deal with these people, he has nothing to say after the scene is finished, and if he sits for a while, he will feel uncomfortable, so he left the table early, leaving Li Muxian, the head of the public relations department, to talk nonsense with these squires.
The two captives who were caught at the gate of the city have not been killed, and they are detained in the county jail at this time, guarded by two guards, Chang Yu arrived here after leaving the table, and the two guards were eating and drinking when they saw him approaching, and hurriedly got up: "Dugong."
"Let's go to the table and have a good time" Chang Yu said casually, the two guards hesitated, Chang Yu smiled: "Is it possible that I am afraid that they will slaughter the governor" The two guards laughed, arched their hands and left.
Chang Yu walked around the house and looked at the two people in the fence: "Do you want to live?" ”
"Official, spare your life, spare your life, I don't want to die, I still have an old mother at home......" The two thieves knelt on the ground and cried a handful of snot and tears, Chang Yu watched quietly and was unmoved.
"Official, do you have anything to ask and we want to do, just command" Seeing Chang Yu's indifferent face, one of the very clever thieves was very good.
"Let's talk about the situation in Zhide County (now Meicheng Town, Dongzhi County)." Chang Yu sat down on the bench and flicked the oil lamp next to him, and the two thieves glanced at each other: "Zhide County is in the mountains of forty or fifty southeast of this, and there are more than a hundred brothers there...... Oh no, thieves".
Chang Yu frowned: "Dongliu County's Linjiang is the only way for the official road to pass, and you are only more than 30 people guarding it, why is there more than 100 people in a small county town in the mountains?" ”
The thief was suddenly a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Chang Yu and said, "Actually...... In fact, we are not close to the king of Hades, the people in Zhide County are the cronies of the king of Hades, don't look at the Zhide county in the mountains is much larger than this Dongliu County, and there were originally only thirty or fifty people, and then secretly came a lot, I heard that the king of Hades wants to run there into his own territory, and said that he will be the king of Zhide when he divides the seal in the future......"
Chang Yu is a little clear, there are many small hills in the thief army, and they have to fight for a piece of to break the bloodstream, whoever lays down a place wants to take it for themselves, if it is good, Zhide County was occupied by Wang Yien, the king of Hades, and was kept as a rabbit hole by this guy.
"If you want to operate, why don't you stay in the important town on the riverside but run to the mountains, you thieves really belong to the rats, they like to be in the mountains" Chang Yu scolded with a smile, but the two thieves said seriously: "It's different, Zhide County has mountains and rivers in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this year, hehe, I don't know what will happen tomorrow today, and now I can hit Nanjing City and turn back, maybe I will be beaten back, I have to leave a way back......" said suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped talking.
"You two are quite conscious," Chang Yule stood up and looked at the two of them and said, "A few months ago, you went out of the mountains to do evil everywhere, and now Bendu is going to beat you back to the mouse hole...... Oh no, even the rat hole was blown up for you this time, hehe, your rat king Bai Wang was captured, and his subordinate Hades was also killed, so you rat cubs are left."
Hades is dead? The two thieves were shocked: "Didn't I hear that their leaders were going to be taken to the capital to ask for beheading, how... and kill them."
Chang Yu snorted: "That has to be the head of the thief, he is a p like this, of course he will kill ...... if he catches it" Suddenly I felt that I was led astray by the two thieves, and it was useless to pull these things, so he made a straight face: "On the other side, Anqing broke the city in the past few days, and the army here has broken Chizhou City and is sending troops here, and in a few days you rat cubs will die without a place to be buried, and Lao Tzu will go to De'an to end your thief's den......"
"Official, spare your life, we have explained everything, please spare your life," the two thieves began to cry out and wail when they heard this.
"Have you ever been to Zhide County?" Chang Yu interrupted the wailing of the two with a shout.
"I've been, I've been, I've taken the waterway along the Yaodu River directly to the outside of the city, and the land is a mountain road that is ......farther away," the two thieves hurriedly said.
"Are there any acquaintances in there?" Chang Yu asked again. The two thieves nodded: "They are all under the command of Hades, at least their faces are familiar."
"Go and take Zhide County, Lao Tzu will spare you two from dying, otherwise when the army arrives, none of you will be able to escape death, and there will be no place to run" Chang Yu sneered, but the two thieves panicked: "Official, how can I take Zhide County with my brothers, at most I will deceive you......"
Deal! Chang Yu smiled.
The rain was still falling in the middle of the night, the banquet in the yamen had dispersed, and everyone was happy, Chang Yu called Li Muxian, Guo Ren and the three personal guard commanders of the Chen family brothers to the lobby.
But the Governor, the few thieves who slipped through the net may have gone to report the news, and the thieves are prepared, we don't have any guys who want to break the city, just ...... Guo Ren frowned.
"You also said that it's just possible, the thieves who fled first may not have gone to Dongzhi County to report the news, and they may have hid in the mountains and forests in a village somewhere in a hurry, even if they went to report the news, it was raining for forty or fifty places, and when he ran until it was dark, the city gate was closed and the thieves in Dexian County might not let them in," Chang Yu analyzed.
But Li Muxian shook his head and said: "It's only forty or fifty miles to Dexian County, and it takes more than an hour to get there by waterway, and the only place they can go at the moment is there......
"It's still speculation, the Governor feels that there is a high probability that he is still hiding everywhere and has not yet arrived in Zhide County, and if we go now, we can still try our luck, the longer we wait, the more bad it will be for us, the only thing the Governor is worried about is whether you can work if you drink too much."
When he learned that a few fish had escaped from the net, Chang Yu was a little disheartened and felt that he had no chance to raid to Dexian County, and in order to reward his personal guards, he withdrew the prohibition order to let them enjoy themselves, but after careful consideration when interrogating the two captives just now, he felt that there was still a chance, so he had to take action immediately, but he regretted that he had just let his subordinates drink too much and make a mistake.
Who knows, the few people looked at each other and smiled, "We really want to have fun, but the wine is insufficient, and each of us is just a gluttonous at most......"
Now the food is expensive, and I am reluctant to use it to make wine, and the wine in the city is left over from previous years, but it has been ruined for several months in the thief army, and the rich gentry in the city are only left in a dozen jars, but there are nearly 100 people in the guard, and the amount of alcohol is amazing, and more than a dozen jars are just gargling.
Li Muxian and ten guards stayed in Dongliu County, Chang Yu took a few of Chen Wangting's relatives to escort the two captives by water, and the Chen brothers found a guide in the city to lead the troops to walk the mountain road.
In the rainy night, when the people in the city were asleep, the east gate of the city slowly opened, dozens of horses disappeared in the dark rain curtain, out of the city, one ran north, they wanted to bypass the big lake in the east of the city, take the land, and drive to Dexian, while the other team led by Chang Yu personally led a group of seven or eight people to take the waterway.
Out of the city, it was pitch black, and the two captives held torches in front of them to illuminate the front and walked to the south of the Yaodu River: "Next to the Tao Gong Ancestral Hall is a ferry with a boat family, by the way, do you know who the Tao Gong of the Tao Gong Ancestral Hall is, Tao Mingyuan, the ...... who loves to eat chrysanthemums?"
"You're still a fucking talker, can you say a few words, save your strength to rock the boat" Wu Zhong kicked him angrily, and the two captives trotted up and went straight to the riverside and quickly found a fishing boat with a cabin, Chang Yu and several people jumped up, and the two captives wore robes and worked hard to support the boat and paddle.
The river was dark and there were no other ships, the wind and rain were close Chang Yu shrank in the cabin and squinted for a rest, Chen Wangting and several other guards took turns to help the two captives sail, but the lone boat was not slow to go upstream, and the two captives were even more hard.
"Official, if we deceive the two of us, can I not die, I really have an old mother to support at home......" The captive pleaded in a low voice while holding the boat, Qiao Sanxiu snorted: "I still have my mother to raise, what about the ghost, how long have I not been home, I guess I don't even know where your ancestral grave is now......
"If you two can trick you into opening the city gate, Ben Du will not only surround you without dying, but also give you a reward of silver!" Chang Yu snorted, and the two of them turned their worries into joy: "The official won't lie to us, right?"
"Who is the Governor, how can he deceive you two subordinates" Song Luoshu shouted angrily, the two of them hurriedly hummed, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the official, how big an official is the Governor?" ”
"It's bigger than the bag on your head" Wu Zhong waved the oar and smashed it over, and the two of them didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and concentrated on supporting the boat, extremely hard.
In a daze, Chang Yu felt that the wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger when he was half asleep, so he looked around and saw that the black wind and rain on both sides of the strait were dark and he couldn't see anything, and asked casually: "Where are you there?"
"After entering the mountain, walk another ten miles to Yaodu Town, you can go ashore, and then walk a few miles east to the city of Zhide County, I estimate that the sky will be bright...... "A prisoner hurriedly said, Chang Yu saw that he was soaked, his face was full of water beads, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and nodded slightly: "When you arrive in Zhide County, whether you can deceive the door or not, the governor will spare your two lives."
