Chapter 124 Who is the county magistrate?
The county magistrate Cheng's eyes flashed, and his brilliance was filled with light, but his cold expression slowly soothed. He gently stroked the black horse under his crotch, and for a while, he said lightly: "The Prime Minister of Song is focused on all directions with his brave soldiers. There is no strong army in Xuchang. The Prime Minister of the State needs to issue a manifesto, and lead the army to take it. Why do you need to go through this trouble!"
When Yang Zhi heard this, he looked up and bowed his hand solemnly to the east Wuyan direction. He said to the magistrate Cheng with a serious voice: "Good tutorial, the magistrate of Cheng. My Dongping guards have tens of thousands of troops, and they are as powerful as clouds. It is easy to take you Xuchang.... But my lord is kind and has the people in his heart. Whenever he talks with us, he always sighs and hates the people who suffer from natural disasters, suffer from the crime of separation and chaos, and the traitors and bandits and soldiers. When he came to Xuchang, the lord made a strict order: Xuchang is the people under my rule, and he must not use weapons or hurt Xuchang's people..."
Yang Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked coldly at the soldiers of Bai Xuchang who were surrounded by all directions, and said proudly: "I, Yang Zhi, fought on the battlefield in the sea of blood, and killed countless Yellow Turban soldiers a few days ago. Several generals, if you wait for some people, what can I stand by if I resist?"
The sound was not loud, but every word was like gold and iron hitting the hearts of the officials present.
When he said this, his eyes instantly became cold and sharp, and a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. An invisible aura was as sharp as sword energy, and it came out from him like wolf smoke, as if it were substance, as ice and thorns.
The Xuchang official army surrounded him suddenly shaking noise, and their faces were tense and solemn, and they held the swords and guns in their hands tightly.
Of course, the murderous aura just flashed away. Yang Zhi stood up proudly and smiled slowly, saying: "Brothers Xuchang, don't worry, lord, don't let me use my sword..."
"Ba...b...ba...b...b...b..."
Before Yang Zhi's declaration of domineering was completed, suddenly, a few crisp clapping sounded, interrupting Yang Zhi's words and eliminating the domineering and awe-inspiring momentum that Yang Zhi had just created.
The person who hit the high five was County Magistrate Cheng. He clapped gently without rushing, smiled gently, and said with admiration: "General is domineering... sigh for the general!... I even sighed for your lord! The Prime Minister of Song State is worthy of his name of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and wisdom! The benevolent is invincible, and the benevolent is invincible..."
Yang Zhi laughed loudly and shouted: "In this way, can the county magistrate be willing to surrender to Dongping? Submit to my lord?..."
The magistrate Cheng smiled and said gently: "Sei Chang was originally the next county in Dongping County, and we were all the people under the rule of Dongping. The prime minister was originally our superiors. How could he surrender and surrender?"
Yang Zhi was overjoyed and said, "That means I would like to listen to my lord's government orders."
County Magistrate Cheng still smiled and did not answer directly. He stroked his socks and said, "General Yang, according to the general's plan, the guards will come to me in three groups, and I will negotiate with me all the way, waiting outside the city, but that's the case?"
Yang Zhi replied: "That's right." Then he was quite ashamed and smiled: "This small plan is only a joke by the magistrate Cheng. The magistrate Cheng's eyes are sharp and delicate, and Yang Zhi admires it."
"That's it!" A general beside him secretly ashamed of his many men but was suppressed by Yang Zhi. Now that he heard Yang Zhi praise his county magistrate, he immediately wanted to find him and said, "My family is very good at planning, unparalleled in wisdom, and long-term thinking. Xuchang is famous. The county magistrate rebelled and the county magistrate was killed. It is my family's discovery in time and quelling the rebellion in time..."
"What?" Yang Zhi heard that something was wrong, his eyes were bright and he was on guard. He shouted to the county magistrate Cheng and the general: "The county magistrate rebelled in the previous period, and the county magistrate was killed? Who are you waiting for? Not the county magistrate Xuchang?..."
The invisible murderous aura spread out again, covering the entire audience.
The general was shocked and looked at the county magistrate Cheng in panic. The county magistrate Cheng shook his head at the general, comforting him: "Zhang Fang, Wuwei." He also stared at Yang Zhi, smiled slightly, and said gently: "It seems that the general has not entered the city in time."
Yang Zhi shouted ashamedly: "Did you catch me just now when I entered the city? How can I find out?"
"Haha," the county magistrate Cheng turned over and dismounted, gently put on the horse, walked to Yang Zhi, bowed gently, and smiled, "Some Cheng Yu had met General Yang. Cheng Yu was originally a scholar of Xuchang, but he had no help from Xuchang County to rebel. The county magistrate was killed, and the people had no leader. So the people and officials promoted a certain power to Xuchang County. Please forgive me!"
Cheng Yu, the county magistrate Cheng Quan told the story in a casual manner.
It turned out that when the 20 princes of Dongping advanced eastward to attack Dong, they were all in chaos by the Yellow Turban thieves. Xuchang was one of the five counties. It was never avoided or even more serious. It was just because Wang Du, the magistrate of Xuchang, was appointed by the court, but he was eager to take the Yellow Turban, and responded to it, killing the county magistrate Qin Pan and occupying Xuchang. The people and officials in the city fled with their family funds to help the elderly and children. Cheng Yu did not flee but instead advanced, and found the young and strong in the city and said, "Now Wang Du had occupied Xuchang first, but the people were not attached to him, and his soldiers were not brave enough. He just wanted to take the opportunity to plunder wealth and goods, and there was no strong armor and sharp soldiers to attack and defend.
Zhi. Why don’t we go back to the city to capture, Wang Du must not stand." With his convening and inspiration, Xuchang officials and people were brave enough to attack Wang Du. Wang Du did not have the intention to defend the city and fled with wealth. Xuchang was able to return to the hands of Xuchang officials and people. Unfortunately, Xuchang was destroyed at this time, and the county magistrate defected and the people had no leader. He had to report to Dongping, but at this time, the five counties of Dongping were all under the hands of the Yellow Turban, and Wuyan was also punished. Where can they report to? Xuchang people were grateful to Cheng Yu for his courage, wisdom and courage, so they elected him as Xuchang's magistrate, and he was in charge of the seal order and temporarily led Xuchang.
"So that's it!" Yang Zhi nodded and exclaimed loudly, "Yang Zhi really admires the courageous, wise and brave magistrate Cheng."
"In this way, now that the Yellow Turban Thiefs in Dongping is settled, my lord is rein charge of Dongping, and I can go back. Yang Zhi serves as the lord Xie Cheng County Magistrate." Yang Zhi held his fists to Cheng Yu to show his respect.
"Xuchang was originally under the court, he should have returned, and Yu should have returned the seal... but..." Cheng Yu looked at Yang Zhi, his voice was still, his clouds were calm, but his words changed.
"Just how? Is County Magistrate Cheng reluctant to give up the position of County Magistrate?" Yang Zhi also stared at Cheng Yu closely.
"You!..." General Zhang Fang was quite dissatisfied.
Cheng Yu shook his head at Zhang Fang, then smiled at Yang Zhi, and said, "What can Cheng be attached to? But he must be careful to consider the people of Xuchang... Hearing that Song Jiang Zhongyi governed the army, his troops under his command did not offend the people, but this is the case?"
"Of course! The King's Teacher..." Yang Zhi and Yang Lin and others behind him were full of pride.
"The general's troops were divided into three groups, and a second person would come to the city to talk to someone, but that's the case?"
“That’s right!”
"The army outside the city is waiting, but so?"
“That’s right!”
"I and Xuchang officials and the people are willing to decide when they see the officials and soldiers be kind and righteous. I wonder if the general can agree?" Cheng Yu looked at Yang Zhi like a torch, stared at Yang Zhi and said in a harmonious voice.
"Yeah...so...so...got..." Yang Zhi thought about it and replied.
"So, please feel sorry for General Yang. I want to do this..." Cheng Yu smiled.
