The arrival of Zhang Hanmin gave Wu Yingjie a backbone. Relying on the tall city wall of Hunhe River, he could completely block the bandits' attack. Wu Yingjie personally went out of the city to greet Zhang Hanmin, just like his father greeted Liu Pang back then. Wu Yingjie
Yingjie had better luck than Wu Xiaoren. Wu Xiaoren only received a messenger. Wu Yingjie saw Zhang Hanmin's figure even far away.
After the tedious city entry ceremony, Wu Yingjie let Zhang Hanmin into the county government and asked Zhang Hanmin to take a seat. Zhang Hanmin took his seat without hesitation. He looked around at the people below: "I was invited by Commissioner Wu to come to assist the people of Hunhe River.
Guard the city, please rest assured, as long as I am here, Hunhe City will be impregnable!"
Zhang Hanmin's speech received a round of applause. Wu Yingjie laughed and said: "Of course! Of course! Staff Zhang, oh no! It's Battalion Commander Zhang. Battalion Commander Zhang is a Confucian general. With him guarding the Hun River, no matter what the bandits are, they can't do anything."
Can’t reach us!”
Zhang Hanmin looked at Wu Yingjie and smiled slightly: "Commissioner Wu, do you know when the bandits are going to attack our county?"
"It won't take long. I have received news that the bandits are gathering people!" Scar said quickly: "These bandits are too rampant and don't take the camp seriously at all. They clamor to make the camp a
The second Fatty Liu, how could they know that Fatty Liu can be compared with Yingzuo! Who is Fatty Liu? He is a rough guy, but Yingzuo is a top student at the Baoding Martial Arts Hall!"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Hanmin felt very comfortable with Dao Scar's flattering words. He nodded: "Director Dao seems to have a lot of experience in Hunhe's defense. Once this group of bandits is defeated, I will definitely write a letter to inform him.
Marshal Wang, Director Dao will definitely be promoted!"
"Thank you Yingzuo! Thank you Yingzuo!" Scar quickly thanked him.
Since Zhang Hanmin arrived, Wu Yingjie has been ignored. Everyone in the city listened to Zhang Hanmin's instructions and moved all the refugees outside the city into the city according to Zhang Hanmin's instructions. The young and strong were forced to help transport the guards.
City equipment, women are responsible for the soldiers' meals. Hunhe City has entered a first-level alert state.
Ma Xingkong took a breath: "Look, this Zhang Hanmin is really quite capable. In a short period of time, he has already put so many stones on the wall of Hunhe River. If a fight really breaks out, our people will not be able to attack him if they attack."
The city will definitely suffer a big loss!"
"Then let's go notify Old Ye Zi and ask them not to attack yet!" Hei Wa said.
Liu Wu shook his head: "It's too late. Zhang Hanmin has blocked the city gate. Everyone can only enter but not get out. The enemy is in front of us and the city gate is guarded very tightly. We can't get out!"
"We have to find a way to make Zhang Hanmin think we won't attack the city and make him change his defensive strategy!" Ma Xingkong began to think deeply.
Long Jie mingled among a group of children, helping deliver food to the city during the day. At night, he returned to the small ruined temple and told Ma Xingkong about the situation in the city. Today, a lot of big rocks were added to the city, some of which were
The stone lions in front of the big households. These big households risked their lives for Hunhe. Those with money gave money, those with food provided food, and fully supported Zhang Hanmin. They were all frightened by what Wang Tianzong said about robbing for three days.
Zhang Hanmin was sitting in the county house, eating melon seeds and drinking tea. Wang Tianzong has now become Zhang Hanmin's confidant. The entire security team has been assigned to Zhang Hanmin's camp and used as an independent brigade. Wang Tianzong is still the captain. He asked Zhang Hanmin:
"Bingzuo, we have all been transporting things to the city these days. If this group of bandits doesn't attack the city, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Zhang Hanmin smiled: "My original purpose was not here. Believe it or not, there must be bandits in the city. Only by catching these people can we truly ensure the safety of Hunhe River. These people are the most terrifying when we fight them."
Yes, especially that Ma Xingkong. If he enters the city, one gun can cripple our entire defense force."
"Do you want to send people to search the whole city?" Scar tried his best to express his true feelings to Zhang Hanmin, hoping to win the favor of the new master and offset his sin of plotting against Fatty Liu.
"No!" Zhang Hanmin waved his hand: "The task of your police is to guard the city gate. If the city gate is breached, you don't have to come back to see me!"
"Yes!" Scar quickly stood at attention and saluted a standard military salute for the first time.
Wu Yingjie was depressed. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to invite Zhang Hanmin back. He had an unknown premonition that he might die in Zhang Hanmin's hands. These days, he stayed in his room,
Try not to hang around in front of Zhang Hanmin's eyes and pretend to be a very honest person.
Wu Liu is an old man of the Wu family, and he will never leave Wu Yingjie. Seeing that the war is about to begin, Wu Liu is worried about Wu Yingjie's wife and son: "Master, what should I do with the young lady and the young master? They are still empty-handed on the road.
inside!"
"Hey!" Wu Yingjie sighed: "I have no choice but to pray for their blessings!"
"What if Ma Xingkong uses the young mistress and the young master as hostages to threaten us, we..."
Before Wu Liu finished speaking, a stone was thrown in from the window, bounced on the table, and rolled to Wu Yingjie's feet. Wu Liu was stunned and hurriedly opened the door to see. Everyone in the yard was in the dark.
No, only the light was still on in Zhang Hanmin's room above.
Wu Liu hurriedly retracted his head and locked the door again. Wu Yingjie had already picked up the stone. The stone was wrapped with a layer of paper. Someone had thrown it in deliberately. Then the candlelight: Fourth update tonight, small ruined temple in the north of the city.
!The words are written in carbon, and the handwriting is ugly. He must not be a learned person. There is no signature.
"Master! Could it be Ma Xingkong?" Wu Liu asked.
Wu Yingjie was startled, reopened the piece of paper, read it again, turned to Wu Liu and asked: "Are they in the city?"
Wu Liu nodded. Wu Yingjie swallowed: "Do you think I should go?"
The night was very cold, and suddenly the wind started blowing. The sky had been gloomy all day today, and it was probably going to rain. Wu Yingjie and Wu Liu walked forward with their heads buried in their chests. Behind them, there were several dark figures in the houses on both sides.
Under the shining light, it flickered in the dark shadow. Wu Liu and Wu Yingjie obviously noticed the "tail" behind them. They suddenly started running, and the people behind them immediately followed.
Ahead was the Laughing Broken Temple mentioned in the letter. Wu Liu looked around and knocked gently. The broken wooden door opened by itself. Wu Yingjie ducked and walked in, followed closely by Wu Liu. At the corner of the alley
Only then did several dark shadows appear.
This ruined temple is the gathering place for beggars in Hunhe River. It is dilapidated and the smell is even worse. There are many beggars lying in the yard. Wu Yingjie and Wu Liu are standing at the door not knowing where to start. At this time, from childhood
A person walked out of the temple, probably a child, and waved to Wu Yingjie and Wu Liu.
