"Zhang Yongxue, you are still responsible for this matter. You are a local native here. You are the most familiar with the property of these big families. You should have a number of how much you ask for." Wu Meng immediately ordered.
"I will receive the order!" After saying that, he bowed to Wu Meng and turned around and left.
"Sir, this person..."
Wu Meng waved his hand and interrupted the words of the guards beside him, and said coldly: "This person is a knife, can be used, and cannot be kept for a long time!" At this moment, Wu Meng's face did not have the previous smile, staring at Zhang Yongxue's leaving back, deep.
Watch.
When the personal guard saw Wu Meng say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yongxue was too ruthless and ruthless. If this person was like this after the Tang army captured him, then he could be reused. But now...
"I didn't expect the situation here is so bad now. This Li Feng is harder to deal with than I thought. He left two thousand people, but they had nothing to eat and useless." Wu Meng frowned, his face changed constantly.
.
"Lin Zongyu, can you find out where these mansion troops are going?" After a while of silence, Wu Meng asked in a deep voice to the personal guards beside him.
"Sir Hui, according to the people in the city, he went north. In addition, he also obtained the weapons and equipment transported by our army privately. In addition to these more than 5,000 government troops, there are fourteen or five large and small branches.
Little bandit.”
"Five thousand people? Where did the five thousand people come from? Isn't there only more than three thousand people? Why are there more and more fights?" Wu Meng frowned and said in confusion.
"Sir, I heard that there were 4,000 people when I came, and then two thousand people were recruited to fight outside the city with the garrison army, losing more than a thousand people, that is, more than 5,000 people." Lin Zongyu said with a wry smile.
"Summon? The people of Siyang City should have been taken to be cannon fodder at the beginning. And those bandits, after our army stabilizes the rule here, they will be wiped out completely." Hearing this, Wu
The face was covered with murderous intent and the veins leaped straight.
Then he said, "Going north? Probably not. In addition to more than a dozen larger towns in the north, Linyi City is the north. It is the important center of our army's food and grass. The garrison is very strict, and I have already sent a message.
, It is impossible to easily be taken down by thousands of people..." When he said this, Wu Meng was full of anger. Although Siyang City is not a heavy city, it is also a county town, and it is so easy to be taken by the other party.
One soldier and one soldier have been dealt with. What’s even more hateful is that the military supplies and food supplies needed to support tens of thousands of people. The food supplies are in a tight demand for the front-line army, but the weapons and armor are more important. Tens of thousands of arrows and thousands of war armors
He felt distressed when thinking about it.
You should know that if it is, in daily training, the armor and equipment may only need to be replaced once a few years. However, if it is a fierce battle, the armor and equipment may be damaged by 20% or 30%, and the consumption of arrows and supplies is also excessive.
.
"Sir, it's either going north, it's just going east and west, but there's no accurate letter. Really..." Lin Zongyu said with a puzzled face. He entered the city in the afternoon and wanted to thoroughly track down the other party's traces.
It will be possible in a short while.
"Send people to find out the news from the surrounding villages and towns. How could the things of more than 5,000 people be silent?" Wu Meng said in a muffled voice.
Not to mention that Wu Meng was searching for the traces of the mansion army, the big families in the city were once again affected. Although they were prepared in advance, only money could be hidden, and food was not so easy to hide. In the case of the army rushing into the mansion, these
The rich family could only curse in their hearts and surrender again. After all, they could not resist these weapons and reason with these soldiers. It would be better to play the piano against the cow.
After plundering, the army in the city had food and raised food for several days for the army.
It was lightly dawn, and the horse explorers were sent everywhere to investigate the whereabouts of the group of government troops in three directions. It was not until dawn that they were careful to finally send it back. But the news sent back made Wu Meng's face turn blue.
"What did you say? Thousands of troops passed by on the east and west sides? Are you sure you have investigated, instead of making up randomly?" Wu Meng asked several horse-study leaders with a dark face.
"Report to Lord Duwei, we have obtained it from the people in several townships and confirmed it from the local village chief appointed by our army." Several horse explorers looked at each other, and then said one of them.
Several people also agreed.
Wu Meng had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, but he also knew that what the other party said should be true. At this time, they would never dare to do anything recklessly.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Meng asked again: "Have you ever asked clearly the time the enemy has passed?"
Several people told them the results of their inquiry. After hearing this, Wu Meng sneered slightly. Sure enough, these were all the tricks of these bastards. How could thousands of people pass by in the face of several sides? After asking after time
, and the group of government troops came out, and they actually headed west.
"Let the soldiers eat their fill and prepare for war!" Wu Meng said sternly.
"Sir, who is guarding the city? This place has been taken back by us, but the soldiers guarding the city still need it." Lin Zongyu whispered. Seeing that his master was busy chasing the palace army, he was not afraid of other stone matters.
After asking, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, if this is the case, how can I fight with this general named Li Feng?
"Oh... there is no one in his hand!" Wu Meng suddenly realized that his hands were really empty now, and even the army to maintain the public security of a city was gone.
"By the way, who can you recommend? Who is the brothers of the personal guard more suitable?" Wu Meng asked Lin Zongyu beside him. At this time, only the personal guards around him could believe it. The rest...
...There is nothing else.
"Sir, I have a candidate for you." Lin Zongyu thought for a while and said.
"who?"
"Zhang Yongxue! It's the one I used to be. Lord, this city has been captured by the government army once, and the people in the city may have other ideas in their minds. The current temporary county magistrate is not ours, so they should choose from the big tribes in the city at will.
At this time, we need a ruthless person to take charge, otherwise we will not be able to suppress here." Lin Zongyu said word by word.
Wu Meng nodded unconsciously and said, "What you said is reasonable is indeed very important. This is also necessary before Shangqiu County sends a new garrison lieutenant. In this way, let the five hundred soldiers in Pingyu Town be sent.
And the five hundred soldiers in our hands stayed behind, let Zhang Yongxue be responsible for guarding the place."
"Very good. Among the 1,000 people, more than 700 are regular soldiers of our army. Even if they have nearly 300 new affiliated troops in their hands, what can they do?" Lin Zongyu said with a smile.
"Well, let our people serve as two chiefs of music, and Zhang Yongxue serves as the left-behind captain. We need his ruthlessness and he needs to bear the infamy. If something happens and someone needs to bear the consequences, he is also a good one.
Choose.” Wu Meng continued.
Wu Meng left with 1,500 people and hurriedly left. One thousand people were left and Zhang Yongxue was appointed as the left-behind lieutenant, and then left.
"Captain, haha... I have become a left-behind captain! From today on, who dares to underestimate me?"
"Sir, outside the government office, someone claims to be his friend and wants to meet him." Just when Zhang Yongxue was very excited, he was interrupted by his subordinates. Although he was unable to fully control one thousand people, the new person was still in charge.
The affiliated army and his own personal guards, a total of more than 300 people were his confidants, or those who turned to him. Therefore, he might have started to make a move like the original lieutenant.
"My friend? Did you know that this lieutenant has been promoted and want to seek some benefits? Hum... I have no friends except the brothers in the military camp. However, since I have come, I want to see it too.
Look, who is actually a person who dares to claim to be my friend.
"Bring it in!" Zhang Yongxue said lightly, and began to imitate the momentum of the former captain.
A moment later, the two were brought in. When Zhang Yongxue saw it, his face suddenly faded.
"Why are you...?" Zhang Yongxue's expression changed and he said in panic.
"I heard that the Lord made contributions and was promoted to the left-behind lieutenant by the Lord Commander. We brothers, here to congratulate you on your joy of promotion." One person said in a deep voice. As for the gift of congratulations, there is no such gift.
"Sir, Xiaomin is willing to talk about the old relationship with the Sir. I don't know if..." The young man who spoke said with a faint sarcasm, his eyes slightly glanced around.
Zhang Yongxue pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with fierce light, but seeing that the other party was calm, he had to suppress the thoughts in his heart and let the guards in the hall retreat.
"You...you are so bold. This is Siyangcheng County Government. How dare you say here?" Seeing the personal guard leave, Zhang Yongxue's face suddenly became gloomy and he asked coldly.
The young man consciously walked straight to the side, did it, and sneered: "What? Lord Zhang just took up the position of a left-behind lieutenant, and forgot the help we gave you?"
Zhang Yongxue narrowed his eyes and said, "Help? Is there any? The ones you helped are Tang Jun. If you didn't have your ideas, Tang Jun still has no weapons, armor, equipment and food. Besides, this has nothing to do with me. I also have to do with you.
You have nothing to do with it. My advice to you is to be as far as you can and how far you go. I am the remaining captain in Siyang City, no longer a former prisoner. Don’t think about putting your ideas on me anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me.
You're welcome."
The young man laughed and said, "Is that true? We are from the government army, and you are the captain of the Tang army, so why not take us directly?"
"Do you think this lieutenant dares? There is an order from above, and everyone can kill him!" Zhang Yongxue's face darkened and he shouted sternly.
"Everyone can kill him? Zhang Xiaowei, now in Siyang City, everyone is not us, but you. As a person from Siyang City, he is willing to be a lackey in the Tang army and kill the city in a large number of people.
A prominent family and a high family have a lot of wealth and food. Zhang Xiaowei, these big families, not to mention you, even the general of the Tang army, have to find a way to win over them. You can kill them with one sword. Do you think your boss, the chief lieutenant, is really stupid?
You can't even think of the little trick you came up with?" the young man mocked.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yongxue's heart sank slightly and asked in a deep voice.
The young man sneered, "What does it mean? At that time, because your captain wanted to get a knife, a knife that could be killed, and a knife that could be abandoned afterwards. You are the one who stayed in Siyang City.
, But how many people are your confidants and how many people can obey your orders? The big families in the city hate you to the core! You are now the Tang army who stayed as the knife, and that can
Knife that breaks into the knife.”
Zhang Yongxue was stunned by it, and then his face gradually became ugly. After a while, he said coldly: "This is all your idea, you are harming me!"
The young man said: "I'm sorry for you? I'll make you a left-behind captain, I'll make you avoid going out of the city and looking for our army to fight? There are gains and losses. Now, you should be sober, not complain. You really
I think he could not think of these ideas about you? No, it’s not that they can’t think of them, but that they can’t do this, or they have never thought about it in this regard. You happened to appear, and they appeared in time."
These two people are not others. After being captured yesterday, the people in the government army found themselves and wanted to serve them themselves. Both of them helped each other. Zhang Yongxue, who was in the cage, naturally agreed and wrote a series of
Documents. This is also the reason why he is now a left-behind lieutenant, but he dares not take the other party easily. Because the other party has his own handle, who knows whether those things will fall into the hands of the chief lieutenant once he takes action.
At that time, someone would have to bear the responsibility for the loss of Siyang City, and he must be one of them. It was not easy to be the lieutenant, so he couldn't bear to die.
In addition, these people were the ones who gave him advice, asking Wumeng to ask for weapons and food from the rich as a way to advance.
"Don't think that if you have the things left by this lieutenant in your hand, you can be arrogant in front of this lieutenant. This lieutenant will kill you and then search for you in the whole city. As for the things in your hand, who knows if it is
True or false. At that time, this lieutenant can take your head and prove his innocence!" Zhang Yongxue's mind changed and he understood the other party's words, but he didn't want to be controlled by others.
"Is that so? The lieutenant can try it out! Before yesterday, there were thousands of defenders in the city, and they were still easily captured by my general. Now, just because of the thousand people in your hands and the thousand people in the city who were unruly, and I wish I could kill you a thousand swords in the city.
A wealthy family who was killed, do you think you can defend Siyang City?"
"During yesterday, thousands of armored equipment were robbed, and the armored equipment seized from the two thousand garrison troops and the three thousand new affiliated troops, tell me how many bandits are around Siyang City,
How many people with all their weapons and equipment? Is it difficult to capture this city again?" the young man said coldly.
Zhang Yongxue's face was stiff, and after a while, he said slowly: "Wait, what do you mean?"
The young man smiled and said, "We are just here to congratulate the adults. Of course, it is also to express our friendship with our fellow countrymen, so as not to be promoted and not recognize the vulgar people like us. Of course, the lieutenant also needs to provide the
Some small help." The young man expressed his request.
"What? You still have more than a thousand grains to be transported out of the city? That's our army..." After hearing the young man's words, Zhang Yongxue stood up and shook his head repeatedly, "You don't know what the situation in the city is now. Investigate strictly.
People are in and out, let alone you have a large amount of food and other things. In addition, I'm afraid it's not just food, but also weapons and armor. More than 100,000 arrows and thousands of weapons and armor and armor. I think you don't
It will be easily taken away at once, nor will it be abandoned at will. In addition, it will be a considerable amount of money when it is taken from us. If something goes wrong, this lieutenant will not escape death."
The young man said: "Sir, you are the largest official in the city. Who dares to investigate you? Who can investigate you? Where did you go when you killed the rich family in the city? Even apart from accidents, our army
I can accept you. What's wrong with being an official in the government army? Besides, how long do you think you are the official function of a lieutenant? When we leave, they settle the rule of Liangzhou Prefecture, for
Show their sincerity to the rich, then, Master Captain, you need to be responsible for yesterday's actions. After all, you are the leader. Even if the rich have any dissatisfaction, they are still under the power of the Tang army.
Default this."
Zhang Yongxue remained silent. Since the young man entered the county government, he knew that he was afraid he was entangled with the government army, and he was deceived by the government army and was exploited by the other party.
"Okay, I promise to help you get out of the city, but you must make arrangements as well." Zhang Yongxue said in a muffled voice. Now, he has no better choice.
"Captain, will there be any surprises? Zhang Yongxue, when he was born, began to get rid of us." The people around the young man looked back and looked at the county government office and said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, we will transport the food, armor and equipment and money in a small amount at a time! In addition, let the brothers divide the place where the materials are stored, and even if there is a problem in one place, the others must be kept. Let's open it below.
How are the other brothers like!" said the young man in a deep voice.
Li's family in the north of the city.
"Transport goods? They should be those things from the Tang army!" Li Shuhan said thoughtfully.
The young man opposite Li Shuhan smiled and said, "As for what it is and where it comes from, it doesn't matter, right? I heard that the weapons and the food stored by the Li family were looted by the left-behind lieutenant in the city. If the Li family
If I am willing to help me transport these goods, I can divide them into 10%."
Li Shuhan was stunned and said, "There are still weapons and armor? Haven't they all been taken away by the government army? Why are you... you are from the government army? Li Shuhan narrowed his eyes and frowned.
"What? Who are we, it has nothing to do with our transactions." The young man said lightly.
Li Shuhan's mind changed and finally said, "Yes, I can transport your goods out, but there is a requirement. In the future, my Li family needs it and you need help."
The young man smiled and said, "Okay, I agree!"
"Father, why did you agree to them? The bastard Zhang Yongxue is the bastard in Siyang City. How could he let our caravan go out of the city? What should I do if something happens when the young man left?" After the young man left, Li Shuhan's son Li Qinghai frowned and said with a frown.
.
"Qinghai, don't forget that the remaining lieutenant in the city was captured by the government army. They dared to ask us to help them transport goods out of the city, so they must have considered the remaining lieutenant in the city. Now, the situation in Liangzhou Prefecture has begun to be confused again.
, We should always put a line and keep it for the future. Furthermore, the general of the prefecture that sieges this time is not simple! But when did such a general appear in Shanyang Prefecture?" Li Shuhan said heavy.
In fact, when he understood the other party's identity, he understood a little that the things the remaining lieutenant in Siyang City did were instigated by the government army, in order to separate the wealthy families in the city from the Tang army.
Let yourself help the other party transport away the hidden weapons and equipment in the city and the treasury money. As for food, it is naturally a superficial cover.
