Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Chen all had a heart in their hearts.

This Master Shen is the unlucky chicken, and he and others are the monkeys who are only scared.

But can you say that you and the others are not frightened?

Obviously, no. Just now, there was a Master Shen who didn't seem to be scared and had been dragged out, so if he and the others said that they weren't scared, what if they were dragged out again by these thieves?

At this time, Master Zhang and the others missed the time when the original magistrate and others were still there.

Although the guy Zheng Wu in Zhixian County is not a good thing, he always collaborates with the eagle dogs of Jinyiwei to urge taxes and food, and he has no good face for these squires and elders, even if there is a villain, he always has to wait for himself and others first......

But at least don't worry about your life, right?

No matter how bad Zheng Wu is, he always has to be reasonable, everything is according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if compared with it, Master Zhang and others still prefer the original Zheng Zhixian to invite himself and others to eat and drink - although most of them are going to have some blood.

It's just that it's too late to regret it, when the thieves attacked the city, didn't they ignore Zheng Zhixian's request to borrow grain and borrow his family? Now it's his turn, but it's no wonder who comes.

It's just that in the current situation, no matter how much they regret it in their hearts, they are powerless to return to the sky, so they have to calculate and calculate again to see how to put some blood on themselves, so as not to kill them.

After thinking about it for a long time, Master Zhang said: "The old man is willing to donate 1,500 taels of military salary and 5,000 stone of grain. ”

The rest of Master Li and the others also made eye contact, and reported the amount they were willing to donate.

Wang Laoliu summed up in his heart, this silver is more than 6,000 taels, and as for food, it has also reached 12,000 stones.

After thinking about it secretly, Wang Lao Liu, who felt that it was almost the same, smiled and said: "Look, all the village sages have generously donated money to help the king of Ji's affairs, and the king of Ji will not forget you in the future, right?" ”

Master Zhang, Mr. Li and others scolded secretly in their hearts, go to your mother, you won't forget Lao Tzu, and finally forget it completely, when they and others have never existed!

It's just that no matter how you think about it, Master Zhang and the others are also worried in their hearts. Today's matter is not big, but it is not small.

As long as the officers and soldiers take back this Pucheng, they are afraid that the crime of being a thief will be implemented, and they don't know how much effort they will have to spend to get up and down - the more they think about it, the more distressed Master Zhang and others lose interest in the dishes that have never been touched on the table, and they all bid farewell to Wang Er and go back.

After Master Zhang and the others left, Wang Er looked at Wang Lao Liu and said with a smile: "Brother's brain is better than mine." Now we have the bottom. ”

When the sixth child heard this, he picked up the wine glass on the table and said to Wang Er: "Brother, can you rest assured now?" With these grains and silver money, let's not say that it is just Pucheng, even if we go north to meet Gao Yingxiang and them to fight Yan'an Mansion, we are not afraid. ”

Wang Er nodded, and also picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother is right. Come, brother, toast you! ”

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Wang Ercai continued: "Since this is the case, then let's prepare and go back to Chengcheng." ”

The sixth child answered, and ate and drank with Wang Er and Wang Blind.

After the sixth child had eaten and drunk enough and left, the blind man suddenly said to Wang Er: "This is not right. The sixth child never wanted to recruit An, but now his attitude is a little too much. ”

Wang Er said with a big grin: "Maybe I have seen the benefits." Scholars have a lot of hearts, and they may think that it is better to go overseas with His Royal Highness Tang Wang. ”

The blind man sighed and continued: "But has my brother ever thought that King Tang is the king, and now you are also the king, so His Royal Highness the King of Tang can use you with peace of mind?" Can the court still recruit you? I'm afraid that now we are on the road of the sixth child, and we can only go to the dark on one small road. ”

When Wang Er heard this, he also said with a straight face: "Although my brother has a two word in his name, he is not really a two."

The sixth child has his own ideas, and his brother knows it, but what if he doesn't rely on him now? From beginning to end, it was he who made suggestions to get all the way to where he is today.

To put it mildly, it's true that my brother is a big boss, but to put it bluntly, it's just a name here. If there is no sixth child, we can't beat Baishui County, let alone this Pucheng? ”

The blind man snorted and said hatefully: "Now I can only take one step at a time." If the sixth child really can't recruit peace, and wants to cause a bigger disaster, it must be no wonder that my king is blind and doesn't recognize people! ”

Wang Er snorted, and no longer thought about these bad things, and only concentrated on dealing with the food in front of him.

At this time, Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Houye, who originally stayed in Lantian, had already gone north with his troops.

Looking at the filial piety boy who still had traces of the beacon fire in front of him, Zhang Zhiji spat hatefully and ordered: "Come on, go and open the city gate." ”

It's just that before Zhang Zhiji sent someone to call the door, someone above the city shouted: "Which soldiers and horses are ahead?" ”

Seeing that the person who appeared on the head of the city was a person dressed as a county order, Zhang Zhiji took a few steps forward and said loudly: "This Hou Ye is Zhang Zhiji, the Marquis of Pingbei, hurry up and open the city gate and let Ben Hou enter the city to rest." ”

Then why hasn't the county magistrate heard of Zhang Zhiji's name? Legend has it that this little grandfather who followed the emperor to the north to conquer the grassland was eight feet tall, with a waist circumference of three feet, and could run horses on his arms and stand on his fists. Born with green fangs, fierce and vicious, you have to drink the hearts of two Tartar children every day, otherwise you will be unhappy.

Of course, the magistrate of Xiaotong County also knows that this kind of rumor is often exaggerated, but the little white face in front of him really can't let himself associate him with the legendary general who kills people without blinking.

Xiaotong Zhixian, who had a lot of doubts in his heart, shouted loudly: "Please forgive me, now that the thief army has retreated, the lower officials have to be careful, and please bring a few personal soldiers into the city." ”

Zhang Zhiji was furious when he heard this.

Okay, you are a filial boy who knows the county, I don't know that the most annoying thing about Lao Tzu is that others call me my little grandfather? You shout like this, don't you still rely on your father's name when you are still Lao Tzu?

Is it tolerable or intolerable? Hou Ye, who was furious in his heart, simply walked to the city wall with four or five personal soldiers, and after inspecting Kanhe first, he entered the hanging basket put down at the head of the city and waited for the people in the city to pull him up.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at the city, Zhang Zhiji's horsewhip was drawn towards Xiaotong Zhixian without a head.

Seeing this, more than a dozen officials in Xiaotong County originally wanted to draw a knife to snatch back the magistrate, but they never wanted to be caught by a few personal soldiers brought by Zhang Zhiji with knives, and they couldn't come forward for a while.

Xu Mingde, the county magistrate of Xiaotong, was whipped and rolled on the ground, but he said stiffly: "I don't know where the lower official is wrong, he has his own national law to deal with it, and the little grandfather beats the lower official, so he is not afraid that the lower official will join you?" ”

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he was even more angry in his heart, and he whipped a few more whips, and then threw the whip and said, "Call the Hou Hou Ye!" It's not a little grandpa! ”

After some anger in his heart, Zhang Zhiji also stabilized his mood, and waited until Xiaotong Zhixian got up, and then ordered: "Open the city gate and let the army enter the city." ”

Xu Mingde secretly scolded himself for being a fool, just now this little grandfather kept saying that it was Benhou Benhou's, and he still wanted to call the little grandfather, this beating was not wronged. According to the holy family of the lord in front of him, he is to participate in a book, which is probably a matter of going away.

It's just that no matter what, Xu Mingde didn't dare to seriously order the city gate to be opened and the army entered the city.

There is a way that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates, and the guest army is even more so.

Xu Mingde, who knew the virtues of these big-headed soldiers, was rarely hardened: "Lord Hou forgives the sins, and the official can't order the city gate to be opened." ”

How could Zhang Zhiji not know what this filial boy was worried about? At the moment, he said angrily: "Open the door, Ben Hou guarantees that these soldiers will not disturb the people in the city, that is, they will stay tonight, and they will also be on the streets, and they will not go to the people's homes to disturb half a minute!" ”

Xu Mingde stiffened his neck, and didn't even dust off the ashes that rolled out on the ground just now, but said, "How can Master Hou guarantee it?" If the bandits are not chaotic, but the soldiers are chaotic, how can the subordinate explain to the Son of Heaven? ”

Zhang Zhiji was so angry by this Xu Zhixian that he wanted to laugh - when Lao Tzu's soldiers were the same as those former guards and bastards? In that case, these soldiers will not only rush to your Xiaotong County in two days after receiving the holy decree, but they don't know when they are ready!

It's just that the attitude of the county magistrate in front of him who refuses to open the city gate no matter what, but Zhang Zhiji admires it a lot.

What kind of people bring what kind of soldiers, Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to military discipline and the people, Zhang Zhiji also attaches importance to these, and immediately said to Xu Mingde: "This marquis is willing to use his title as a guarantee, if there is a soldier who disturbs the people, even if you write to impeach this marquis, even if this marquis is demoted to the people, I will not complain to you for half a point!" ”

Xu Mingde saw that Zhang Zhiji even said the words of taking the title as a guarantee, and he was speechless for a while, and he muttered for a long time before saying: "Since the Hou Ye said this, the lower officials have to open this city gate." It's just that the Hou Ye must take care of these soldiers, if there is really something that disturbs the people, the lower officials will fight for this official uniform, and they will also participate in the Hou Ye! ”

Zhang Zhiji saw Xu Mingde repeatedly emphasizing, although he was also annoyed to death in his heart, he just waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you don't need to participate when the time comes, Ben Hou himself will ask His Majesty for guilt!" ”

Xu Mingde had no choice but to order someone to open the city gate and let the army enter the city to rest.

After the army entered the city and Zhang Zhiji ordered to settle down, he went to the county government with Xu Mingde.

When he arrived at the county office, Zhang Zhiji went to the main seat with a big grin, not caring that this was Xu Mingde's home field, and asked: "Let's talk about it, what is the situation here now?" ”

Although Xu Mingde felt that Zhang Zhi was extremely rude, he had no choice but to give up: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, the day before yesterday, those rebels who besieged the city retreated north. ”

Xu Mingde first explained that the crisis had been resolved, and then said: "It's just that there are a lot of young people killed in the city this time, and if the thieves come again, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on." Xia Guan is not afraid of Hou Ye's jokes, this time the rebel thieves besieged the city, Xia Guan has no confidence to hold on, that is, he is even ready to repay Jun Grace with death. ”

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Xu Mingde and said: "You don't have to play with Ben Hou this kind of heart, and Ben Hou is not here to protect your Xiaotong County."

To put it bluntly, those who died in this battle and those who suffered disasters, even if you report to the imperial court, Your Majesty will definitely give you an explanation.

As for Benhou, he will rest in the city this evening, and tomorrow morning he will continue his march north.

Of course, you can rest assured that the rebels will never return. However, you still have one thing to pay attention to. ”

Xu Mingde arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear to the Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Zhiji sat up straight and said, "Together with the beacon smoke, it is the common people who suffer. This time, Benhou marched north, and there were few people who fled the disaster to come to you to be filial piety.

When the time comes, you have to pay attention to screening, and don't let the traitors who have killed people get involved. However, not a single citizen should starve to death. Otherwise, you should think about how to explain to your majesty. ”

Xu Mingde also said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the lower officials will naturally save it." ”

Zhang Zhiji hummed and said, "Since this is the case, Ben Hou will go back to the camp." ”

Xu Mingde said: "Do you need the officials to order someone to prepare some food, grain and grass?" ”

Zhang Zhiji's eyes widened and he said, "What are you going to prepare?" The army is ready to go, and you don't need to come to these useless things. As long as you ensure that this filial boy does not starve to death, it will be a great achievement. ”

After Zhang Zhiji left, Xu Mingde smiled bitterly and sat down on the chair.

I don't know if my decision this time was right or wrong. Judging from the performance of the little grandfather, it is very reliable. It's just that these Qiu Ba can really change their temperament? Xu Mingde couldn't believe it.

It's just that if you don't believe it, you can't help it. In the middle of the night, Xu Mingde took a few officials to the street to inspect.

Normally, these big soldiers are in trouble, and they are also at night, but they are better during the day.

It's just that Xu Mingde just approached the street where the army was located, and was stopped by the sergeant patrolling at night, and it wasn't until after checking the fit that the sergeant on patrol said: "The front is the rest place of the army, and it's inconvenient for adults to go over, please go back." ”

Xu Mingde was speechless for a while, but how could he know what virtue these people were?

At this time, Zhang Zhiji also happened to come over to patrol the night, so he ordered: "Let him go and let him go with Ben Hou to see." ”

Xu Mingde was poked into his heart by Zhang Zhiji's words, but he didn't care, just embarrassedly arched his hand towards Zhang Zhiji, followed behind Zhang Zhiji, and walked towards the rest place of the army.

Zhang Zhiji yawned and said to Xu Mingde: "Your county order is really interesting, but you don't have the guts."

But don't worry, Your Majesty's most important thing is military discipline, and no one will dare to disturb the people. ”

Along the way, Xu Mingde saw that many sergeants were just sleeping on the ground, but none of them slept on the people's houses, but he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, only saying that he really misunderstood these Qiu Ba.

It's just that the world is unsatisfactory, after all, nine times out of ten, Zhang Zhiji and Xu Mingde were walking forward, but they heard someone in front of them suddenly shouting: "Stop him!" Hugh is going to let go! ”
