Chapter 363 363: Vagrants and bandits (two) [two in one]
Although the crisis is approaching, the atmosphere in Heyin, especially Fugu City, is not very tense.
Work to work and work.
Everything seems to be as usual.
It’s not that these common people are heartless, but that they firmly believe that their county magistrates will defeat the enemy. A miracle happens for the first time, and it will happen for the second time, right?
Since the news was announced, there have been "sneaky" figures appearing at the door of the office. They often sneak up on the night while it is still hazy, and then quickly throw away a bag of corn, dry food or a few men''s clothing made of kudzu and run away.
There were also those who were unable to get their legs and feet and were caught by the guards.
There are repeated and repeated attempts to bring the things back.
This incident also reached Chen Tang''s ears.
Gu Chi smiled and said, "He Yin people are compliant."
After eating the bitterness of not filling the stomach, I realized how rare it is to have a county magistrate who is dedicated to serving the people and allows them to have land to grow, eat and wear clothes. Whether these common people are purely thoughts or simply for their own interests, if Chen Tang falls, the good days they have finally settled down will come to an end, and both will be greatly supported.
But they are mostly the elderly, the weak, women and children, how can they support them?
It’s nothing more than donating military supplies.
Gu Chi knew that the latter factor accounted for the majority.
Heyin before his lord came, he was the poor mountains and rivers everywhere. In the words of his lord, Tang Monk arrived in the morning and went to the west in the afternoon. When the Bull Demon King came, he had to plow two acres of land before making beef noodles.
The so-called simplicity...
Alas, just don’t cause chaos.
Gu Chi was also happy to pick what Chen Tang liked to hear.
Chen Tang paused his pen and said, "Although this year is a small bumper year, every household has tight food. He told the official guard not to collect it. By the way, looking at the tide, can you find the mountain that is avoiding danger? It needs to be arranged as soon as possible just in case."
She went back that night and found that she was fooled by Kang Jishou. The refugee bandits she had to face were not just 30,000 to 50,000. I am not afraid of these refugee bandits who pick up wooden sticks, shoulder poles, and hoes, but I can''t stand them in large numbers. Once I break through the siege and rush into the county, the common people under my rule will be the first to suffer.
Chen Tang made some preparations.
One of them is to let the common people retreat to the mountains.
Use the mountain terrain to resist the flow of refugees and bandits.
As long as you cannot loot enough food for winter in Heyin, these people will naturally retreat and turn to other places to rob. But this method is a bad idea. Chen Tang didn''t want to do this because he cheated his teammates.
Heyin couldn’t find food, so were the unlucky neighbors, Shangnan, Tianhai, Yiru and other places?
The best strategy is to take the initiative to attack;
Zhongzhai passive defense;
The worst strategy to avoid its edge.
Speaking of the serious matter, Gu Chi restrained his smile and said seriously: "Don''t worry, lord, the place has been found."
Chen Tang: "So fast?"
Gu Chi replied: "If there is ready-made one, it will be fast."
Before they entered Heyin, they suppressed bandits all the way. The abandoned defensive military facilities in the bandit camp were still useful. Each bandit camp was in a good location, easy to defend, and had a hidden location. Among them, the most defensive one is the bandit camp that the Heyin Zhang family secretly funded to build, which was the one that was personally selected by his lord, and there is an iron mine workshop nearby.
But I was busy restoring people''s livelihood this year, and I wish I had three heads and six arms, and I had no energy, no financial resources, and no manpower to care about them. I just sent some station guards.
"Ha, those families have done some work." Chen Tang laughed indifferently, and finally remembered other things, "Does Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing have any reply?"
In critical moments, you still have to be united.
Neither Gu Ren nor Zhang He is a guy who can’t tell clearly. It is impossible for him to see the situation clearly. He is likely to send troops here.
Gu Chi said, "It''s only been two days."
The implication is not so fast.
Chen Tang rubbed his sore eyebrows and took a sip of hot tea to make his mind clearer. She said, "Why have you only been two days? Tsk, this is really a life of like a year."
She lived a life with her fingers.
Before Gu Ren could reply, he received a letter of help. Along with the letter of help, there was also a string of very bad news - this group of refugees fled all the way, gathering their strength to attack the county and town in order to survive.
The unlucky county and town were washed away without any warning. The office was captured, killed when they saw people, and robbed when they saw money. No matter whether the person being killed was guilty or died innocently, everyone who lived was killed was silenced.
For a moment, blood flowed into a river and the whole city was silent.
They repaired the local area for two or three days, and took this looted county and town as a stronghold and began to organize attacks nearby neighbors. The autumn harvest just passed, and every household still had some surplus food. They did not rush to escape, but instead relying on the large number of people and unexpectedly, they went to another county. The third one is currently being besieged, but it has not been chewed down and is still in a stalemate.
It’s not how they can stand it, but that they received the news a day or two in advance, but the situation is not optimistic.
_(:з)∠)_
Because they were besieged.
There are tens of thousands of people outside the city!
It sounds embarrassing, but it is true
Although these refugee bandits are mostly ordinary people with pale faces, thin skin, and poor food and clothing, and their weapons are just hoes, sickles, and shoulder poles, but when they gather together, they can still make people feel scared and be beaten to run away with their heads. The chief of the director also wanted to let the brave warriors go out and kill them. It would be best to kill these people''s courage and drive them away elsewhere. As a result, they went out, one died and the other was injured.
There are also brave warriors among these people.
The strength is not weak!
In desperation, I could only find a way to bring reinforcements.
Send out 7 or 8 people and cast a wide net.
Among the people of the number 7 and 8, some were captured alive and some were shot dead. The rest of them escaped the pursuit and rushed to their destinations. Their relatives are all in the besieged city, and even if they are afraid of death, they can only bite the bullet.
One of the letters was delivered to Chen Tang.
The one who sent the letter was a young man.
The eyes were not closed for two days and two nights, the lips were dry and cracked and the straw sandals under the feet had already been worn out, revealing a pair of bare big feet. In order to deliver the letter smoothly, he specially dressed up as a refugee, his clothes were torn and vaguely seen with the tight muscles rising and falling under the old clothes. When you get closer and smell it, you can smell the strong smell of blood and sweat on his body.
This person was targeted as soon as he appeared.
Chen Tang said, "Has he been beaten by Shaoxuan?"
Bai Su: "It''s not the upper hand."
It turned out that the messenger did not dare to walk on the main road. He was hiking through the deep mountains and forests, and specially selected remote paths with few people. But Bai Su was practicing there on weekdays and hit her directly.
The messenger is good at bowing and arrows, and is also a brave warrior.
The two started fighting like this.
The young man was obviously worried about something and did not dare to fight in a big way. In the end, Xian Yujian, who was led by the nearby soldiers to train. After some questioning, I realized that he was a messenger and not a spy.
Xian Yujian was unsure of his idea: [What should I do? 】
Bai Sudao: [Take it to see the lord. 】
Xian Yujian said to the messenger young man: [Occursing. 】
The messenger also guessed that the two were under the tent of He Yin Shenjun, and did not resist. However, when they were escorted, they could not help but glance at Bai Su, who was wearing a simple shirt. Xian Yujian, who escorted him, kicked him in a calves angrily: [What do you think? 】
The messenger said: [This Ah Lang is handsome. 】
Green with fine skin and tender flesh.
At first glance, I thought it was a girl.
Xian Yujian: [Stop talking nonsense! 】
The messenger''s identity has not been proven, and he is seeking death? The young man Xian Yujian came to Fugu City since he was working with Zhao Feng and Gong Shuwu every day, struggling on the front line of building houses, farming and road construction, and had a lot of contact with Bai Su. I know that Bai Su hates others talking about things the most. If this little thief does not want to be thrown into Bai Su''s long swords, it is best to shut up. Xian Yujian''s warning was still valid, and the messenger was peaceful and peaceful. Bai Sulai''s official office informed Chen Tang about this.
The above conversation was found.
She comforted her when she learned that Bai Su had suffered a little loss.
"Shaoxuan''s time to practice martial arts is still short, which is different from what they started when they were young. If they cannot gain the upper hand today, it does not mean that they will not be able to do so in the future. Can that messenger report his own name?"
Bai Su shook her head: "No."
The messenger acted cautiously.
We must only tell each other honestly when we see Chen Tang.
"Okay, come with me to see."
Bai Su followed behind with two swords, as if in a **** posture.
"The lord needs to be careful of this person."
Who knows if he is a real messenger or a fake messenger? Bai Su was worried that this guy would steal the letter from the real messenger and come to assassinate Chen Tang.
Chen Tang said, "Don''t worry."
Assassination?
Or assassinate her?
Haha, I''m afraid I''m not here to give up the head.
The autumn harvest has just passed and the weather has not completely turned cold.
Chen Tang is as energetic as a small stove, still wearing a thin summer shirt. In addition, he has been running around all over the years, and now he is a beautiful young man with a graceful and elegant tree facing the wind. He can bloom with spring flowers with a smile.
The messenger had been beaten and beaten by Xian Yu Jian long ago.
But when I saw Chen Tang, I couldn''t help but lose my mind.
Chen Tang sat down in the main seat.
Asked, "Who sent you?"
The messenger came back to his senses, and was surprised by Chen Tang''s youth. The childishness of this young man in Shen Jun''s eyebrows made him unable to help but doubt the value of the letter he sent after working hard in his arms - I''m afraid it was given for nothing, right?
I thought so in my heart, but I never showed it on my face.
He gave a great respectful gift.
There was reported to the house.
As Chu Wuhui previously guessed, the first few places that suffered were members of the Alliance Army. The besieged person had choked with Chen Tang and had a little conflict, but later he generously donated money and "borrowed" a lot of food, grass and military supplies, and this conflict was also eased. It is reasonable to send someone to ask for help.
Chen Tang read the letter of help from the messenger''s hands word by word. The bamboo slips were limited in length and the content was repeatedly concise. But it is not difficult to see the anxiety in the heart of the person who wrote the letter.
She put down her letter of help, and her frown brows never stretched.
"I have read the letter you sent, but it is not detailed above. I want to ask you some questions."
The messenger breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
It is a good thing to refuse without coming up.
Chen Tang pretended to be puzzled and said, "I remember that last year, the alliance was formed in Sibao County. The Duke of Lu had abundant troops and food, and there were many good fighters. It may be difficult to repel the bandits besieged by the refugees, but there is no problem in defending the enemy. There are autumn grains harvested from autumn in the city, so we should not worry about military supplies, and the rioters lack food and clothing. They will retreat in a few days... Why ask for help?"
The messenger hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen doesn''t know... This group of bandits are not all ordinary rioters. Among them are powerful and brave warriors as commanders. The Duke of Lu sent his favorite generals to quell the rebellion, but one was killed and one was injured."
Chen Tang''s face changed suddenly.
"A warrior with courage?"
The messenger nodded.
Chen Tang asked again, "Do you know your strength? How many people are there?"
The messenger is not sure about the specific strength of the enemy.
But judging from the murderous warrior who was killed, there was at least an eighth-class man in the other end of the enemy. High-level martial artists are second to the next. What scares Lu Gong the most is that there are thousands of elite elites who are powerful in second-class creation among the rioters.
Chen Tang: "…Thousands of people? Second-class manuscripts?"
The messenger focuses on the key points.
Chen Tang: “…”
Thousands of second-class productions...
Can this still be a mob?
Chen Tang couldn''t help but conspiracy theory. This group of elite soldiers was directed and acted by Zheng Qiao behind the scenes, with the purpose of killing all rebellions against him. But when I think about it, there is basically no possibility. Because the first one to be impacted was the Ganzhou where Zheng Qiao was located.
If it weren''t for the National Seal, I wouldn''t be able to withstand this sudden rise of rebellious force. If you can''t suppress it, you can only drive it away.
Where did these people emerge?
Chen Tang asked carefully and did not miss any details.
The messenger could only suppress his anxiety.
But he knew in his heart that thousands of second-class high-ranking warriors who led them were difficult to deal with. He had vaguely heard about He Yin, and that Shen Jun had excellent governance skills, but he had never heard of how to command and train troops.
He can only know everything and say everything.
Even the more than a thousand second-class high-class costumes were roughly dressed up.
Chen Tang held his chin and thought carefully.
The messenger couldn''t wait.
He gritted his teeth and gave another big gift. His head hit the ground hard, making a dull sound, which made Chen Tang''s brain hurt.
"Now the rioters are in trouble and harming one side, Duke Lu is in trouble and is isolated and helpless. The common people of Luxia County are in danger. This is a critical disaster. If you cannot overcome this, Luxia County is occupied by the rioters, they can use the food and grass of Luxia County to fight in all directions. At that time, I am afraid that Heyin County under the feet of Shen Jun will not escape the disaster. Please ask Shen Jun to send troops to help!"
The messenger must speak out.
His family is also in his hometown in Luxia County.
He has seen the tragic phenomenon of being slaughtered by rioters. Once the city is broken, his relatives and fellow villagers will become unjust souls lying on the ground - this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
The messenger was anxious.
But I don’t know that Chen Tang is also in a difficult position to get rid of the tiger.
How many people are there in her account? ? ?
The person surnamed Lu really respected her.
But when people come to ask for help, they cannot refuse.
Once rejected, He Yin will be in trouble next time, no allies will come to help. She took a deep breath in her heart, and a gentle and confident smile appeared on her face: "The thief is causing trouble and harming living creatures, so we naturally cannot sit idly..."
Hope surged in the messenger''s eyes.
Chen Tang changed his tone: "But-this is not a good opportunity to send troops. Can you wait a little longer, at most two days!"
The messenger was eager: "Why?"
Chen Tang sighed and said, "To be honest, I received a tip a few days ago, and immediately sent a letter of lending soldiers to Tianhai, Shangnan and Yiru, hoping to combine the power of the four families to repel the refugees and bandits..."

This year I took the bus to visit the graves for two hours, and I was drowsy, alas.
??Thinking about the hard work, I hope my ancestors will bless the novel "Shit Mushrooms" without lag.
