There was a row of large cars parked in the open space in front of the hall. The servants were moving in and out, moving out large and small boxes and cages. Cui Xiannu, the capable steward, led several of his followers to check whether the boxes and cages were tied firmly and scolded them from time to time.
A few sounds.
Several female family members wearing smocks stood beside the porch, some of them were crying.
Tu Shanhang, who had a serious face and deep nasolabial folds, frowned, and then the mother-in-law came over and persuaded them to calm down. But the women cried even more sadly.
There was a woman in luxurious clothes who was sobbing at first. She didn't know what her mother-in-law said, but suddenly she burst into tears: "How could such a thing happen in Zhongdu? I told you before, it is best to be in Zhongdu.
Even if you have a sinecure in the Academy of National History and Taichang Temple, it is better than being the precarious bullshit governor!"
This is too much.
Anyone else would have been severely scolded if they had complained about the head of the family like this in public. But this is Tu Shanhang’s wife, the legitimate daughter of the Bohai family, and she is qualified to be the royal wife! She complained a few words, and her mother-in-law
What do you dare to say?
Tu Shanhang himself could only twitch the corners of his eyes twice and sighed deeply.
Tu Shanhang left Beijing that day because he was involved in a fight between the Confucian officials in the court and the faction left behind by the old powerful official Xu Zhiguo. He was regarded as the price paid by the clan, so he left in a very embarrassed state, and he did feel a little wronged to his newlywed wife.
.
But after all, he is a descendant of the Tushan family. No matter how unfavorable his career may be, he will never be thrown into a place like Shaanxi Road where people exchange children for food.
Zhongdu is certainly very good, and Anzhou itself is also good. If it hadn’t been for the wars in the past two years, Anzhou would be considered a prosperous place on Zhongdu Road, and it would have great achievements in governance, which would make it easier for the clan members of Zhongdu to operate and move around.
List your name in the book early for transfer.
As for the current situation, who would have thought that the defeated soldiers would suddenly unite and gather such a large force? Who would have thought that within the confines of Zhongdu Road, the prestige of the imperial court would drop to this?
Tu Shanhang even felt that if Yang An'er really came to kill him, it would be heroic to kill the thief bravely and die fighting. Now instead of Yang An'er, the wolf, here comes Guo Ning, the local tiger...
This person rejected my kindness that day. Now it is completely difficult to guess what he wants and what he will do!
Tu Shanhang only heard that Zhuozhou had fallen into a ridiculous situation. Three days ago, the governor Nian Gezhen became the puppet of Jing'anmin, the leader of the defeated army. Only he himself was still covering his ears and pretending that everything was normal. And that
Guo Ning, who defeated Hu Shahu in the field and took control of Zhuozhou in one fell swoop, is now leading his army back to Anzhou...
I, Tu Shanhang, am a nobleman of the Central Capital, and I want to be proud of myself, but I am not willing to follow the example of a weakling like Nian Kezhen! In the current situation, the best way to save the court's face is to not meet that Guo Ning at all!
It is now the time for spring plowing, so I will go to inspect the fields and crops, and wait for the situation to calm down before taking action. In addition, I have to borrow some soldiers and horses from the Xiongzhou Yongding Army to keep my home safe no matter what, so as to deter the retreating troops!
As for the situation here in Wocheng, I have to take control of it. Well, I might as well send a message to Yu Jingchun over at Xinqiao Camp and ask him to find a way to mediate and find out Guo Ning's background first!
There are still many things that need to be figured out clearly. As a governor, I really have to deal with everything every day. How hard should I be? But the mistress of the family only knows how to cry!
Hearing that Madam Da's wife was still complaining, Tu Shanhang became more and more anxious.
"Aru Dai! Zhang Jiao!" he shouted: "Drive those people away and don't let them hear any gossip at home!"
That day, Xiao Haohu and his trusted subordinates all died. Hundreds of Xi troops under his command were in chaos and many of them fled. Tu Shanhang heard about this situation and quickly sent people to recruit. He found that a small leader Zhang Jiao was still there, so he
With him taking the lead, more than a hundred people gathered.
Nowadays, the military force in Wocheng County is divided between the military commander Jiagu Alu and the military commander Zhang Jiao. Jiagu Alu is a general of the Tushan family. He has some courage but not a good brain.
I don’t know where I went for a while, but Zhang Jiao came over in a hurry.
To be honest, Zhang Jiao himself was a little confused.
When Guo Ning entered Gaoyang Pass that day, he was one of the people who was inadvertently spared by Guo Ning. Later, he was glad that Xiao Haohu and others died, which gave him the opportunity to become an official directly under the Anzhou governor.
But now it seems that, ahem...the Jin Dynasty, represented by the governor Tu Dan, does not seem to be as majestic and inviolable as he imagined. As for the governor himself, he is even a bit pedantic.
Zhang Jiao certainly understood what Tu Shanhang meant.
Not only did the Tudan governor not want outsiders to hear the nonsense of his own women, he also didn't want the whole city to know that he, the governor, was leaving the city in a panic. Even if he was under the guise of inspecting the crops, it would be better for as few people to know about it.
But Tu Shanhang didn't even think about it, how could there be any secrets in the governor's office? In the morning, as soon as my wife had packed up her belongings, the judges, officials, officials, and envoys knew all about it. Everyone was from the same town.
, who can hide it from whom?
This thing sounds strange to say. It is said that Yang An'er is the rebel thief, and Guo Ning, who confronts Yang An'er, claims to be a righteous hero and is not a thief or bandit. There is no need for everyone to be nervous about this.
But firstly, the governor had to stay away for a while, so why did the people below stay in the city to try their luck? Secondly, the famous Tiewagang warriors rebelled, and those defeated soldiers were all fierce and incapable of killing people.
In the blink of an eye, who knows what will happen?
So just last night, people all over the city were running out.
Wocheng County had suffered several attacks by Kuomintang troops, and there were not many people left, and the force of force was even more pitiful.
Zhang Jiao was on duty last night, but there were only three or five pawns posted at each city gate. The residents in the city were in disarray. How could he stop him? All he could do was wait for the people to run away and then close the gate again.
!
On the other hand, there were many people outside the city who came from the four villages and towns, intending to wait until dawn to enter the city to protect themselves. However, when they heard that the governor wanted to avoid the attack temporarily, they all cursed and turned around.
Of course the common people knew that there was unrest outside the city, troops were in retreat, and bandits were everywhere. Running around at this time might not be safe, so the best way was of course to head towards Xinqiao Camp.
After all, there are several rich and wealthy people gathered there, and I heard that they can also become friends with the defeated soldiers.
According to Zhang Jiao's estimate, the people who were leaving the city at this moment were probably almost at Xinqiao Camp. The only people left in the city were the old, weak, sick and disabled.
If Tu Shanhang could listen carefully and calmly at this moment, he would find that the city was eerily quiet, and there were actually only a few people watching what was going on in the distance on the road. He could just go out boldly, there would be no
How many people are concerned about the governor's inspection tour?
Jiagu Arudai was also aware of this situation. He did not show up in front of the governor today just to avoid embarrassment. Only Zhang Jiao, a new subordinate, had to wait in front of and behind the saddle.
When Zhang Jiao was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw Jiagu Aludai, who was as majestic as a wooden stake, running from the front like flying: "Processor! Governor!"
Tu Shanhang's face darkened: "Why are you panicking! Be more decent!"
Jiagu Arudai quickly slowed down his pace. But he ran too fast before, and now he was panting like an ox, sweating profusely, and couldn't slow down for a while.
Tu Shanhang was impatient again: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
"Then Guo Ning himself led the troops to Xiangjun River! He did not come to Wocheng County!"
Tu Shanhang's body swayed, and he quickly held on to the shaft of the car to stand still. This sudden good news made his face suddenly turn rosy, and his reserved demeanor that he had not seen for a long time suddenly recovered a little: "Oh? It seems that this time,
He is quite measured, and it seems that he is still in awe of the imperial court!"
"However, he sent one of his subordinates to lead a group of troops into the city!"
"They came so fast!" Tu Shanhang felt weak again. He held the shaft of the carriage and said sternly: "What kind of person are they sent by Guo Ning? How many people are they leading? What are they here to do?"
Jiagu Alu was dumbfounded when he couldn't explain clearly. Someone at the crossroads not far away chuckled twice and raised his voice: "My family, Guo Langjun, sent me, Wang Shixian. I was accompanied by a hundred soldiers, and the chariot driver
Ten figures. I am here to represent the people of Anzhou and pay the taxes owed to Governor Tudan for the past two years."
