Chapter 21 Coincidentally Encountering Erguan Gong
"The lord used the trick of stealing the city, which is good. However, the magistrate of Meng County was cowardly. He heard that the lord's power was afraid of losing the city. Shortly after the inspector left the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed and not allowed to open again. I am afraid that the lord will return without success this time." Chen Jingzhi explained.
Since ancient times, the timids have been mostly self-defense thieves; the brave have been mostly reckless. Therefore, the timids are afraid of attacks, while the brave have difficulty defending. At this time, if the magistrate of Meng County guards Meng County to death, Zhang Shun had no choice but to ask for advice: "How can I teach me?"
"I have two strategies, superiority, superiority, and military strategy says: Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy, Mengxian has no use of gold and silk, and it is not a necessary place to go. Attack or not attack are originally between two things. If it is difficult to attack, there is no need to attack it."
"The worst strategy is to make a frightened bird. If a bird is injured, it will be shocked with a bow. This bird will be injured in the old wound, just like a person who can lead a bow to shoot. Now the new inspector of Meng County is defeated, and the county magistrate is cowardly. He can intimidate him, or it may be effective."
After listening to this, Zhang Shun thought that the best strategy was obviously that Chen Jingzhi was inclined to his own county town, and the persuasion was obvious, and he was afraid that Zhang Shun and others would invade the city and harm the lives of the people in his hometown. This bad strategy was that there was no loss anyway, and he could show off his power.
So Zhang Shun ordered everyone to take prisoners and set up many flags to make soldiers gallop, change their flags, and show their positions in turn. He also hangs the body of the inspector outside the city to show his power. He also sent more than 3000 letters to the city and pretended to say: I am the king of yellow clothes. Now I came from Shanxi and led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to hunt in Huaiqing Prefecture. Here, the inspector of Guixian disturbed my elegant atmosphere, and I specially killed him to warn him. If the magistrate of Guixian was determined and surrendered quickly, he could save his life. Otherwise, he would break the city, destroy his family and destroy his clan. Don't say that he was unpredictable!
He also ordered the soldiers to roar and threatened Meng County. From morning to night, there was no such thing as this. At night, the city suddenly had a big uproar. Zhang Shun ordered the soldiers to prepare for it, beware that someone from Meng County came to steal the camp. Soon the noise disappeared, and the gate of Meng County opened wide. It turned out that the large household in Meng County, Zhao Lizi and others tied up the county magistrate and went out of the city to welcome Zhang Shun and others into the city.
It turned out that after Zhao Lizi was sent out by Zhang Shun, he tried to copy the last plan of internal and external cooperation. He had already ambushed the city in order to open the city gate. Who would have thought that shortly after he arrived in the city, the city gate was closed and the internal and external news was isolated, so he could not notify Zhang Shun.
Until Zhang Shun came to show off his power, the city's wealthy families did not know the size of their troops and horses, and they were panicked and uneasy. Everyone paid a visit to the county magistrate and asked about the county magistrate's plan. Only when they saw the county magistrate was in panic all day long, and they could not have a plan to fight the enemy.
The great families then realized that they had no hope, so they had a different intention and tied them up and offered their city. As soon as they were in chaos, Zhao Lizi took the opportunity to take over the city gate. He happened to meet the great families, so they opened the city to welcome Zhang Shun.
After entering Meng County, Zhang Shun followed the original path in Mengjin and imposed the law. Originally, Chen Jingzhi had pleaded for the Meng County Magistrate, but as soon as Zhang Shun's public trial was released, the people of Meng County were angry and had to let him cut the county magistrate.
But this time, Zhang Shun forced Chen Jingzhi to take action. Poor scholar Chen Jingzhijie, although he had some strength, he had never killed anyone. In desperation, he had to close his eyes and wave his knife to chop. After slashing like this three or four times, his head could not be cut off. The county magistrate's neck was cut into blood and blood, but he was not cut to death. He just rolled around on the ground in pain, wailing endlessly.
Zhang Shun felt unbearable and was about to let Zhang Sanbai finish the knife and chop the county magistrate. At this time, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. This person is the head of a county, so he can kill him, so how can he be humiliated?"
When Zhang Shun looked, he saw a burly man walking out of the crowd, with long square mouth phoenix eyes, red face and beautiful beard, holding a red horse in his left hand and a big sword in his right hand, making him a hero who reborn from Guan Gong and the emperor.
"I dare to ask what is the name of this hero?" Zhang Shun felt quite fond of him when he saw him and asked in a warm voice.
"I am Chen Changye in Wen County!" Chen Changye bowed and replied.
"Wow!" "So it's him." "He's Chen Changye." When the person signed up, there was a noise in the crowd.
Zhang Shun couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that this person was still a well-known person. So he asked Chen Jingzhi in a low voice: "Who is this? He is so famous!"
"This person is a famous hero. He worked as a stunner in the early years. Because he looked quite like Emperor Guan Sheng and was used to using the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, people in the martial arts world called the "Er Guan Gong"."
"Last year, this person participated in the martial arts competition, with one horse and three arrows, three horses and nine arrows, and shot a phoenix to seize the nest. However, the drum officer accepted bribes and beat the drum three arrows, and reported the target three arrows. The examiner said it with nine shots and three arrows."
"When Chen Changye heard this, he was furious and rode his horse and held a sword to kill the drum officer. Seeing that he was fierce, the examiner ordered him to be arrested. This man galloped around the school ground, no one could stop him, and the general came out, and he didn't know where he was desperate, and he didn't expect that he would be here today."
When Zhang Shun heard this, he remembered that it was this powerful general. When he was recruiting talents in Mengjin, someone mentioned him before, so he became interested in recruiting him and said to him: "This hero's words are reasonable. Why not eliminate it for me. On the one hand, it will remove one harm for the people and on the other hand, it will give this dog official a pleasure. I wonder what the hero's intention is?"
Chen Changye was stunned when he heard this. He was just disgusted, so he spoke for justice. Besides, he was not afraid of the thief being angry with his own force, but he was trapped by the thief. Now he has a lawsuit, and if he doesn't follow, he seems to be a verbal person, and he is a villain with different words and deeds. If he follows, he will be more guilty and will never look back.
However, this person was originally a proud person, how could he be willing to support himself? Then he went to the stage, raised the big sword in his hand, and with just one knife, he cut off the head of the county magistrate who was wailing on the ground.
"Okay!" Sure enough, this is a hero. It was already difficult to cut off a person's head with one knife, but it was even more difficult to kill the county magistrate who had gone around with one knife. So Zhang Shun raised his finger and praised, "It turns out that he is a hero. After a while, I will kill the sheep and hold a banquet to invite you to drink."
After a while, Zhang Shun invited Chen Changye to enter the county government office and sent someone to kill sheep and prepare vegetables. Everyone gave the cups and cups to drink. Chen Changye knew Zhang Shun's intention and wanted to talk about the imperial examination to show his refusal.
It turned out that after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was worried about the Qing Dynasty outside the pass and the bandits inside the pass, and he was quite determined to value martial arts. This made it possible for the National Martial Arts Examination to be held in the capital in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and Chen Changye also went to attend with hope. Who would have thought that such a grand ceremony, the host and the censor were corrupt, and had already made a choice.
In disappointment, Chen Changye killed the drum officer, rushed out of the schoolyard, and left.
