Chapter 612: Foolish Governor
Sure enough, the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed out of the city of Fengyang Mansion, and the first general was wearing Mingguang armor, and he bowed his hand when he was far away from He Yilong.
"He Cheng, the chief soldier of Xia Fengyang, thank you for the siege!"
This sentence of thanks made He Yilong suddenly fall into the clouds, don't look at Zhang Fangyan who was also polite to him before, but it was the first time that the chief soldier of the imperial court wearing Mingguang armor was very respectful. This thief, who has been chased and beaten by the official army for more than ten years, seems to have hit the point of excitement, and it took a long time to come to his senses.
"Shame, shame! Deputy General of Zhang Ge's account, He Yilong! ”
He Yilong brought out the identity of Zhang Fangyan's temporary deputy general, only one point, hidden the joint of Zhao'an of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, after all, Fengyang Mansion was besieged and plundered by the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, so don't cause unnecessary trouble.
The Fengyang general He Guoran did not doubt that he was there, and when he heard that the person who came was the deputy general under Zhang Butang's account, he hesitated and asked.
"But do you trust the Governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Gebu?"
He Yilong hurriedly replied: "Exactly, exactly!" ”
Fengyang General He Cheng slapped his thigh excitedly, "Black!" I finally got through it! Then he turned to He Yilong and said almost!
"Brother and Zaihara are the family, I don't know where my brother's ancestral home is?"
He Yilong couldn't help but sweat secretly when he saw that the chief soldier of the official army was unsuspecting of him, and he was extremely enthusiastic. Xindao, if you continue to interrogate, won't you be exposed? So I played a few haha, and then I took the topic away.
The chief soldier He Cheng got back to the point, "Don't gossip, I don't know how much Brother He led the troops this time?" Zhu Butang invited his brothers into the city to meet! ”
Zhu Butang in He Cheng's mouth is Zhu Dadian, the governor of Fengyang, since Zhang Xianzhong dug the tomb of the Fengyang Emperor in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian was ordered to take office as the governor of Fengyang.
Zhu Dadian had already prepared to die and die at the beginning of the siege of Fengyang, but who knew that in the past few days, the five battalions of the left side of the city would collapse without a fight. The siege of Fengyang was also solved in an instant, and the heart of death was immediately activated, and the credit of repelling the thieves was invited, and the black yarn on the top of the head would definitely be able to go further. However, at the moment, he was very grateful to the officers and soldiers who raised troops to relieve the siege in the lonely army, so he had the words that He Cheng invited He Yilong to enter the city for a meeting.
He Yilong wanted to decline He Cheng's request, but after thinking about it, his current identity is an official army, where did he come from? What's more, he still has the seal of the deputy general personally awarded by Zhang Fangyan on his body, and he is not afraid of debunking it at all. Then from the moment he saw Zhu Dadian, He Yilong suddenly changed his mind again.
The unkempt governor in front of him looked like a sloppy warrior no matter how he looked at it, with a sloppy beard and sloppy face, and he had obviously not had time to tidy up for many days. He Yilong looked at it, and suddenly felt that he was different from those civil officials who were yin and yin, and a trace of good feeling rose strangely in his heart.
As a result, He Yilong actually sent a ghost to tell Zhu Dadian, the governor of Fengyang, that he was Zhang Fangyan's experience of recruiting from the fifth battalion of the left battalion. This matter will be revealed sooner or later, and it is better to take the initiative than to passively bear it. He Yilong was driven by this idea and decided to take a risk.
When Zhu Dadian first heard it, his face really seemed to be surprised, but then he nodded frequently, and sometimes shook his head and waved his hand, but he was attracted by He Yilong's speech. He Yilong saw Zhu Dadian's expression like this, and knew that his confession was really right.
Of course, in his description of adding oil and vinegar, he filtered out the section that was against Li Xin, and deducted many of Li Xin's military actions on his own head. All this fell into Zhu Dadian's ears, and there were wonderful changes, so in Zhu Dadian's impression, He Yilong became the protagonist of the Linhuai War, and Li Xin was just a small green leaf surrounded in Linhuai City waiting for rescue. As for the protagonist who scared away the army of thieves in the fifth battalion of the left outside Fengyang City, he naturally took He Yilong in front of him.
Zhu Dadian didn't care about He Yilong's identity as a recruiter, the previous appearance of He Yilong's troops in the city had already fallen into his eyes, and it was useless to kill the thieves, and he had already gained his trust. And Zhu Dadian was also full of praise for He Yilong: "Zhang Ge Lao is really discerning, General He is both wise and brave, and even the famous Zhenyu Marquis wants General He to help, and the old man will definitely ask the saint for the general!" ”
These words praised two people and degraded one person. Among them, He Yilong and Zhang Fangyan belong to the former, and Li Xin is naturally the latter.
Faced with the sudden praise, He Yilong was a little incredulous for a while, and then he suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity, instead of hugging Zhang Fangyan's thigh, it was better to take refuge in the Zhu Dadian in front of him. Although Zhang Fangyan and his people look kind and always smiling, he always has the feeling of hiding a knife in his smile. On the contrary, this Zhu Dadian is just the opposite, obviously not much of the city, and he is easy to fool, so he is naturally a very good Shangguan!
Zhu Dadian still praised He Yilong endlessly, and at the same time grabbed He Yilong's arm and passed it with him, which was another way to show his closeness. The rank of the military attache of the people at that time was not valuable, even if the military rank of the second rank was in front of the seventh-rank civil official county order, it was still not worth mentioning. He Yilong didn't know much about this, but he was a dignified governor, and he was side by side with his own family, which also gave him a lot of face.
In the face of such courtesy, the doubts in He Yilong's heart when he first entered the city gradually subsided, and were replaced by a faint sense of pride. secretly shouted luck, luck, and said that Seong lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing, but now he never imagined it but confirmed it to himself. Thinking of the experience of this day and night, He Yilong himself couldn't help but sigh for a while, killing every step of the way, almost to a desperate situation, almost dying, and then this qiē is just an illusory bubble, in order to set off the pleasure of the moment!
He Yilong walked all the way and saw that many houses in the city near the city wall had been demolished and bald. He knew that this must be the exhaustion of rolling wood and stones in the city, and he demolished the houses and used bricks and stones to resist the siege of Ma Shouying. Looking at the officers and soldiers escorting on the street, they are all full of dishes, obviously they haven't eaten enough for many days. Looking at it all the way, He Yilong's thief thinking started, and he suddenly sighed secretly. If Ma Shouying can hold out for a few more days, I'm afraid that this Fengyang Mansion City will also fall! Then he sneered again, who taught this old miscellaneous to be his enemy, if he was willing to be like this confused governor in front of him, how could the old miscellaneous fall into such a field today!
"General He, I don't know where your army wants to go next?"
Zhu Dadian didn't know what He Yilong was thinking, and he opened his mouth to ask him where he was going next, in fact, he really tried to say something, hoping that the more than 10,000 troops could be stationed in Fengyang for a few more days, and when the thieves were completely far away, Fengyang Mansion was completely safe, and it was not too late to leave. But how can such words be easy to say, after all, He Yilong is Zhang Fangyan's subordinate, and it is not easy for him to give orders.
He Yilong was confused when the governor asked this, and he didn't understand his original intention for a while, and it was not easy to answer rashly. As for where he would go next, he didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, He Yilong suddenly noticed that Zhu Dadian's eyes seemed to be full of expectations and wanted to speak, so his heart moved, didn't this confused governor want to stay? If so, I really want to sleep on the pillow. So, he replied with a haha: "Back to the ministry, Yilong has not received the next instruction from Zhang Gelao, and now that the siege of Fengyang has been resolved, he has to stand by first......
This sentence was in Zhu Dadian's arms, and he wished that He Yilong would stay, so he reciprocated with joy.
"The old man saw that many of the corporal soldiers under General He were still holding sticks and hoes in their hands, if it was on the battlefield, wouldn't it make the hero bleed more? Although Fengyang is not rich, there are still some bows, crossbows, knives and arrows in the treasury, and he will send you some tomorrow! ”
He Yilong was also very proud of Zhu Dadian's almost stuttering expression, and for a while he despised this person, and said in his heart No wonder the officials and soldiers have been suppressing thieves for more than ten years, and they have been suppressing more and more. Look at the officials in the world, if they are all like the idiots in front of them, they only seek to be promoted and make a fortune, they are as timid as mice, and they do not have the slightest righteousness for officials, it is not surprising.
This is just He Yilong's slanderous words, and he categorically can't express it on the bright side. Not only could he not express the slightest contempt, but he had to show a sincere and frightened look, and repeatedly said that he had no merit and could never accept Zhu Dadian's kindness.
He Yilong's pretentiousness fell in Zhu Dadian's eyes, but it was a different taste, I only felt that this person could fight well, and he was humble, compared with those military generals who were arrogant and domineering with some size of merit. Among them, He Yilong's rude appearance also adds a lot of points to this.
If He Yilong learned that Zhu Dadian praised him again in his heart, maybe he couldn't help but laugh, and scolded him, I've seen stupid, but I've never seen someone stupid enough to be so stupid, especially if it's still a dignified governor.
Zhu Dadian simply entertained He Yilong in the city, due to the siege of the city for many days, there was not much good food in the city, just some simple coarse food and light rice. He Yilong ate tastelessly, and after a simple deal with Zhu Dadian, he wanted to go out of the city to see the thieves and soldiers under his command, after all, after a night of twists and turns, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Where was Zhu Dadian willing to let him leave halfway, and repeatedly persuaded the guests to stay. Just when He Yilong didn't know whether to grit his teeth and leave, a personal soldier came to report.
"Big Head...... General, General, go back and see! Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers, come to receive us! The pro-soldiers almost habitually called out the big leader again, but fortunately, they saw the opportunity quickly, and then changed their words.
He Yilong looked at the panicked soldiers, and didn't understand for a while, what did he mean by this, what did the officials and soldiers come to receive us?
