Cao Bianjiao explained to Dong Ce: "In Seoul, my uncle and I fought with thieves, and there were many battles to defend and siege the city. During this period, my uncle led his troops to defend the city and the thieves attacked the city no less than ten times, and none of the thieves were able to take the city, even if they were outnumbered, so ......"

He didn't finish his words, but Dong Ce already understood what he wanted to express. No wonder Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao are so confident, it turns out that they have had such a successful experience before.

Dong Ce laughed, also put his mind at ease, and smiled at Cao Wenzhao: "Then wait for General Cao to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled: "Thank you for your auspicious words." ”

He looked at Dong Ce, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dong, don't worry, I, Cao Wenzhao, am also a particular person, you give face like this, and the credit for defending the city this time will definitely give you some profits." ”

Dong Ce smiled and agreed.

He didn't shirk, he is not such a person with high merit, where would he dislike himself for having less credit?

While the three of them were talking, there was a sudden shouting from the city, and the sound was full of panic. The three of them looked back together, but saw that Lord Guan Yinzhiguan, the county commander, was surrounded by several officials, and walked quickly up the city wall along the horse road. His face was full of panic, his face was a little pale, his lips trembled, and he said in a loud voice: "What? The thieves are coming? Thieves have besieged our city? Is it true? ”

Cao Wenzhao glanced at him in disgust, with some disdain in his expression. He pointed to the outside of the city and said with a smile: "Lord Guan, I want to know if it's true, why don't you just take a look outside the city?" ”

The smile was full of malice.

Guan Yinzhi walked behind the battlements of the city wall, looked outside, and immediately saw the boundless firelight in the north of the city, all over the mountains, and the longing figure under the firelight. His eyes were glazed, he looked at Cao Wenzhao blankly, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "This, is this a thief?" ”

Cao Wenzhao sneered and nodded: "That's right, they are all thieves, maybe this is just a part of it, maybe the big army is still behind, and they haven't come over yet!" ”

When Guan Yinzhi heard this, his face suddenly turned like earth, and his body began to tremble violently.

His face became more and more ugly, first earth-colored, then swollen red, as if he could not breathe, and after a long while, he let out an exclamation, ahhhh

His state at this moment is roughly not bad in the words "body like sifting chaff".

A flash of disdain flashed in Cao Wenzhao's eyes, he stepped forward, pretended to be concerned, and said in a weird manner: "Yo, Master Guan, what's wrong with you?" Why did you sit on the ground? Hurry up, the ground is cold, and be careful to freeze your stomach after sitting for a long time. This is about to go to war, as a county commander, an official of the imperial court, you have the responsibility to defend the land, if you have a bad stomach, what is the matter if you always run to the pit to have diarrhea? Hurry up! ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled up Lord Guan Yinzhiguan.

It's just that Guan Yinzhi was really frightened by the boundless army outside, and his legs couldn't even stand steadily. Cao Wenzhao just wanted to trick him again, just helped him up, and suddenly let go, so Guan Yinzhi sat on the ground again.

The state party committee member suddenly burst into laughter.

This time, the smile on Cao Wenzhao's face disappeared in an instant, stared at Guan Yinzhi, and said coldly: "Guan Yinzhi, in vain, you are still from a Jinshi, an official of the imperial court!" Ten years of cold window, full of sage books! A few thieves scared you like this dog? What a piece of crap! ”

Dong Ce and Cao Bianjiao watched from the side, with a playful smile on the corner of their mouths, and the surrounding officials and soldiers looked at Guan Yinzhi with a little disdain in their eyes.

Guan Yingzhi seemed to be stimulated by the gazes of the people around her, screamed suddenly, and almost jumped up from the ground without knowing where the strength came from. He scolded loudly: "Cao Wenzhao, you damn thief with an army, isn't it all up to you? If you hadn't come to Sanshui County, how would the thieves come? ”

Cao Wenzhao stared at Guan Yinzhi and said in a deep voice: "Then according to what you say, if we don't come, the army will definitely not come to fight Sanshui County?" ”

In fact, there are traps in his words, but Guan Yinzhi was extremely frightened at first, and now he is extremely angry, angry with Cao Wenzhao, Dong Ce and others, and his mind is a little unclear. As soon as he heard him say this, he immediately drilled into the trap and shouted, "That's right, if it weren't for you, the thieves would never have beaten me here!" ”

Cao Wenzhao immediately grabbed the handle in his words and said loudly: "Why are you so sure that the thieves will not attack Sanshui County?" The thieves have been wreaking havoc in the pass for half a year, attacking the city, and there is no trace of them, saying that they are going to hit where they are! They will attack anywhere, and no one will dare to say that the thieves will not attack anywhere! Why are you so sure that the thieves will not attack Sanshui County? Could it be that there is some secret agreement between you and the Chuang Army? ”

He pointed at Guan Yinzhi and shouted: "Okay, Guan Yinzhi, as an official of the imperial court, you dare to commit adultery with thieves?!" If it is really heinous, you should be punished by the nine clans and kill your whole family! ”

As soon as the big hat of the fornication thief was buttoned down, Guan Yinzhi immediately became stupid, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, and the night breeze blew, and it was cold. At this time, his mind was also clear, he looked at Cao Wenzhao, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, how could I collude with the thief?" ”

"Then why are you so sure that the thieves won't attack Sanshui County?"

Cao Wenzhao just grabbed the handle in his words and didn't let go.

Guan Yinzhi opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to defend for a while.

Cao Wenzhao said coldly: "Guan Yinzhi, as an official of the imperial court and the commander of Sanshui County, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't want to resist the thief, but you frame us and others, and you are even more suspected of being a thief!" ”

"Left and right." He shouted: "Take Guan Yinzhi down and put him in prison for temporary custody!" He is not allowed to be released without my command! ”

"Yes."

A few soldiers around him, like wolves and tigers, responded loudly, rushed up, pressed Guan Yinzhi to the ground, cut his hands back, and tied them firmly.

When they entered the city yesterday, Guan Yin shouted that a thief with an army had a lot of humiliation for them, and they were naturally extremely angry in their hearts. At this time, I found an opportunity, I can take the opportunity to clean up Guan Yinzhi, one by one, I naturally started without mercy, and the strength in my hand was extraordinarily large, and the Guan Yinzhi was crying dad and mother, the ghost was crying wolf, and I couldn't stop screaming.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao waved his hand, a few of them took Guan Yinzhi down.

said that he was going to be imprisoned, of course, it was impossible to really escort him to the county jail, but not far from the city wall, he found an idle house, threw him into it, and two or three people took care of it. Three meals a day are naturally served on time, after all, Cao Wenzhao also knows very well that although he can't defend Guan Yinzhi, it is absolutely impossible for Guan Yinzhi to collude with thieves. And even if he really colluded, if he, a general, dared to kill him without authorization, then he would die.

Not to mention killing, if there are really three longs and two shorts because of this, then it will be difficult for him to clean up at that time.

Guan Yinzhi was arrested, and Cao Wenzhao took over all major and minor affairs in Sanshui County. He ordered the county lord to sign the people's husband, collect cotton clothes and quilts, prepare broken stones, bricks, large wooden beams and pillars, and so on. He also ordered some men and women to be conscripted, boiled water for cooking, and prepared food and drink for the soldiers. He also asked the county seat to carry out all the weapons and equipment stored in the warehouse of Sanshui County.

These things are similar to what Dong Ce did when he was in Chengcheng County. Cao Wenzhao's series of orders were issued, and he was very familiar with it, obviously, this was not the first time he had done this kind of thing. Cao Bianjiao said that he had guarded the city many times, which should not be a lie.

When Cao Wenzhao was cleaning up Guan Yinzhi, the county lord was watching from the side, and he saw that the dignified seven-grade court official was arrested by Cao Wenzhao with a word, but the county lord was so frightened that his heart trembled.

Only then did he see how powerful Cao Wenzhao was.
