Chapter 85: Li Chao (3)

Wu Xianling's face turned pale, obviously extremely nervous, but he was reluctant to leave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Where can I go, losing the city is a capital crime, anyway, it is impossible to escape death, it is better to let the thief give me a good time!"

Thinking that the guests and hosts were suitable on weekdays, Master Qian couldn't bear to let him die in the hands of the rebels, and persuaded him: "There is still room for change in this matter, save your life first, and wait for the turnaround." ”

A ray of light appeared in Wu County's godless eyes, Master Qian has assisted him for many years, and he has never spoken big words, and these words must have deep meaning. Who really wants to die if they can live? He didn't bother to inquire in detail, picked up his official robe, and followed Master Qian down the city wall.

After leaving the city wall, Wang Xiancheng and Lin Dianshi no longer ignored the strict orders before the Wu County Order, and went straight to their homes. Wu County Ling is different from them, except for the county office, there is nowhere to go, so he has to go back to the county government first, and then make plans.

The resistance on the city wall did not last long, leaving behind thirty or forty corpses, and the rest of the people saw that the county magistrate had run away, and immediately dispersed. The soldiers did not pursue them, but opened the gates of the city and let their men in. The gate opened, and hundreds of native soldiers surrounded Huang Mengjia and entered the city.

Huang Mengjia felt very wonderful at the moment, he often went in and out of the county seat of the Han people, but it was the first time that he had come in with a clear knife and a clear gun. In the previous attack on Chengmai, due to the assistance of the patrol archers to resist and the flanking attack of the escort team, it ended in failure, and this time I finally tasted the feeling of breaking the city.

However, it can only be enjoyed for a moment, and Summer Minami's plan must be carried out. Huang Mengjia has an old grudge with Chengmai County, and there is no festival with Lingao County, so he is too lazy to care about him for the time being, and directly divides the troops into two roads, all the way to the official treasury, and all the way to loot large households along the street.

The county town of Lingao, which had been peaceful for a long time, was shrouded in panic: the official treasury was smashed open, and the grain and silver stored in the treasury were transported away; Between the streets and alleys, the local soldiers picked the big households to break into the door, robbed the property, the gold and silver were not spared, the big families had nowhere to escape, hiding in the corners of their homes, watching each other turn over the cabinets, they could only tremble.

Fortunately, the soldiers only robbed money, and did not kill people indiscriminately -- this was what Xia Nan had repeatedly warned in advance, he only wanted to destroy the rule of the government, and did not want to go on a killing spree, Lingao was his base, and the people were the cornerstone of his future rule.

Wu County Ling and Master Qian hid in the county office, closed the door, and listened to the crying outside the wall, helpless. Master Qian reiterated his previous suggestion: "The proprietor quickly went to the south in the summer to quell the chaos, and there is still a turning point in this matter, otherwise, even if the thieves do not attack the county government, the proprietor will be in a catastrophe." ”

Wu Xian Ling said angrily: "What did you do with that traitor, does this Huang Mengjia have nothing to do with him?" ”

Master Qian patiently replied: "The proprietor, there are priorities, and the most important thing at the moment is to save the situation. As long as the Li people can withdraw from the army and the county seat is recovered, the proprietor can save his life and official position, as for whether Xia Nan really repelled Huang Mengjia or communicated in tandem, it doesn't matter. ”

Wu County Ling has been an official for several years, although he can't be called thick and black, but the basic officialdom philosophy is still passable, he understands what Master Qian means, as long as he can keep his official position and life, it doesn't matter whether Xia Nan is sincere or false. As long as Xia Nan didn't tear his face with the government, according to the rules of the game on the surface, he could slowly find a way to deal with him, which was better than giving his life in vain.

He sighed and waved his hand. Master Qian has worked with him for many years and knows his style, which is to agree with his own point of view, but he is unwilling to express his position openly, which is typical of covering his ears and stealing the bell. So he hurriedly wrote a text message, found a surviving servant, and told him to go out through the back door and give it to Xia Nan.

The official trembled out of the back door, bypassed the east gate where the rebels entered, went out from the west gate, circled around the city wall, and returned to the vicinity of the east gate.

Not far away, he met the guards in the woods, and sat down on the ground in fright, thinking that there was another wave of chaotic soldiers, and when he looked closely, it was a Han costume, and he had seen one of the leaders, it was Xia Nan, who often went in and out of the county office.

He hurriedly shouted: "Master Xia, the Li people are in turmoil and have plagued the county, my county master and Master Qian ordered me to come and ask Master Xia to come to the rescue!" As he spoke, he handed over Master Qian's letter.

In the summer, Nan was going to "quell the chaos", and the county government's request for help was more justified, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he took the letter and hurriedly looked at it, it was nothing more than the county town was in trouble, and this powerful "township brave" was recruited to rescue.

He sighed: "I am the leader of Lingao Township, the county is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, but it is a pity that the rescue is a step late, so that the parents and officials and the old folks in the city suffer calamity, it is really my fault." You go back and return to your lordship, and we will enter the city at once and repel the rebels!" ”

After sending away the officials, he led the escort team to march slowly towards the county seat. It's still early, and it's not too late to enter the city when Huang Mengjia has almost transported the looted property.

Here, in the summer, Nan Youya is marching towards the county seat, and Huang Mengjia is ready to return with a full load. Although Lingao is poor, after all, it is a serious county under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the local soldiers have made a lot of gains, and the gold and silver are full of three cars. On the side of the official treasury, there is not much grain, and there is no silver, only a few hundred stones of old grain, but there are a lot of knives and guns, and Huang Mengjia is not picky, whether it is rusty or not, whether it is rusty or not, and the last brain is packed and transported away.

In the summer, Nan led the team to stagger the local soldiers and went straight to the county office. The county government didn't even close the door, and this Wu Da county order was also a bachelor, knowing that with a few officials of the yamen, whether it was a chopping foot or an escort, they couldn't resist it no matter what, so they simply opened the door.

In the summer, Nan Xianting walked into the yamen, and came to the study of Wu County Order. The last time I came to this room, I asked Wu Xianling to allocate a boatwright, but this time I came to play a game of cat and mouse.

Wu Mingjin and Master Qian were waiting in the study, as if they knew that he would definitely come.

Xia Nan smiled and arched his hand: "County Zun, Master Qian, the villain is late, which frightened the two of you." But rest assured, the native soldiers who cut off the foot are afraid of our escort and have fled, and the county is safe now. ”

Wu Mingjin blushed and didn't say a word, just looked at Xia Nan.

Everyone knows the truth of the matter, but as long as Xia Nan doesn't break it, he doesn't have the courage to expose it, after all, the current situation is still under control - the Li people attacked the county seat, but they retreated again, and the county seat is lost and regained - although Xia Nan showed his fangs, he had not yet torn his face with the government, and this game could only be played with him. Wu Mingjin is very sure that as long as the governor of Fucheng and even Liangguang sends troops, he will definitely be able to exterminate the guards of Chopping Foot Pass and this Laoshizi, but far away water can't quench the thirst of the near, so he can only take one step at a time and get through the difficulties in front of him.
