Chapter 70 The Fake Wolf
After nightfall, the city of Suspension was silent, and the streets and alleys were full of soldiers patrolling the night and constables peeping in secret.W w★W√.
√8 1 z Wく.
★C★o√M Shao Erlang, who took the lead in causing trouble, was taken into a large mansion in Anlefang, the west of the city by an unknown person. The people living in several yards in the west of the city were rich merchants and big men, and these people had close ties with the government. Yajun and Luozhu were easily afraid to search the house, so the three of them were able to save their lives.
The owner of this family is a young man, claiming to be named Zhang Duan, and his ancestors were veterans stationed in Zhongshoucheng. His grandfather was an official in Luoyang because of his military achievements. His father became rich in business in Luoyang. After his father died of illness, he inherited a fortune. Because he was not good at operating, he sold the shop and bought thousands of acres of land in Guanzhong to become a landlord. His mother missed her hometown, so he accompanied her mother back to her hometown to live.
Zhang Duan said that he liked to make friends with heroes in the world the most in his life. He risked his life to save him by admiring the chivalrous acts of the three. He asked the three to rest in the house and wait for the news to calm down before sending the three out of the city.
At midnight, two plainclothes men wearing straw sandals knocked on Zhang Duan's door. The two were the two vegetable farmers who beat Luzhang on the East Street in the morning with a shoulder pole. The real identities of the two were secret agents of the Xining Military Intelligence Office stationed in Zhongshoucheng City, one was named Hou Jin and the other was Tan Wang. The man who called himself Zhang Duan was actually named Wan Duan. His identity was the supervisor of the Intelligence Office stationed in Zhongshoucheng City. Hou Jin and Tan Wang were both his subordinates.
The housekeeper directly led the two into the secret room in the backyard. Wan Duanzheng bowed his head and discussed secretly with several subordinates. Seeing the two of them coming in, everyone stood up and Wan Duan smiled and said, "What good news will our two great heroes bring this time?"
Hou Jin said: "The eldest son of the cabbage gang in Beicheng, Weng Lao San, asked Lu Zu to tie up the Lu Zu. Bei Zhi encouraged the gang members to conspire to incite. Now they have connected hundreds of people, but no respectable person has come out to take the lead and dare not take action for a while."
Wan Duan pondered: "There is a man named Gu in the cuisine gang. Yes, he is called Gu. This man is of the same age as Weng Laosan, and he has a high prestige, so he can come out and take the lead." Tan Wang said: "Boss Gu's daughter was a concubine last year for Zhang Chongwan, the youngest son of the street patrol envoy Zhang Chongwan. The two families have become kinship, so he refuses to make the lead."
Wan Duan smiled and said, "Isn't Zhang Chongwan's youngest son the slut named Zhang Song? This man lost 3,000 taels of silver last time with someone. He was afraid that his old man would know, so he secretly borrowed a thousand taels of knives from me. Okay, let him give me Boss Gu's daughter to me, and his daughter is in my hands. Boss Gu could not help but ignore my mercy." Speaking of this, Wan Duan turned around and said to everyone in the room, "It's not time to do it, you will act on your own. This matter must be done beautifully, give our intelligence office a long face."
After beating everyone out, Wan Duan said to Tan Wang: "Take his loan note and take me to the Zhang Mansion."
Zhang Song did borrow 1,000 taels of money from Wan Duan, but it was really hard to pay it back. When Wan Duan proposed to use Gu Yun, the daughter of Gu, to pay the bill, Zhang Song agreed without thinking. The two made a contract, and Zhang Song brought Gu Yun out. When she heard that her husband had paid the bill, Gu Yun bit her lips tightly and said nothing. Wan Duan looked at Gu Yun and cursed in her heart: "Strange thief, such a beauty has ruined this pickled goods."
On the second day, Wan Duan dressed up Gu Yun and took her back to her parents' house to visit her parents. When she went there, she gave Boss Gu a generous gift. Boss Gu was a scene. Seeing that Wan Duan's young master was so respectful, he had a good impression in his heart. His wife Wan liked Wan Duan even more wealthy and beautiful. Boss Gu hated Zhang Song forcing his daughter to others on his back. In addition, Gu Yun complained in front of his mother with tears in her eyes, and Boss Gu immediately hated the Zhang family's father and son.
After that, Hou Jin instigated the Caigang to come forward and ask Boss Gu to take the lead in causing trouble, and Boss Gu agreed. On that day, hundreds of vegetable farmers and vegetable dealers of the Caigang collectively stopped the market and rushed to Yacheng to petition for the release of the arrested gang leader Weng Laosan.
Zhang Chongwan knew that Zhang Song had paid Gu Yun's debt at this time. He was a person who was polite. He was afraid that Boss Gu would scold him in person to be difficult to step down, so he hid without coming forward. Xiao Lingyi drew a line on the ground and ordered the Yajun to wait, threatening to shoot the person who dared to cross the line immediately. Boss Gu asked everyone to hold their feet outside, and he raised the petition and knelt with three or five head-on figures in front of the online house to yell at Wang Feng. Xiao Lingyi was disdainful at first, but the shouts of everyone became louder and louder, which attracted many people to watch. Xiao Lingyi was afraid that the matter would be bad, so he had to let the soldiers open the city gate and let Boss Gu and others enter Yamen to discuss.
At this moment, Tan Wang and Hou Jin were mingling in the crowd. Seeing the gate of Yacheng open, Tan Wang shouted, "You can't go in, be careful of fraud!" While speaking, Hou Jin hid in the crowd and threw a brick at the city gate guards. The soldiers of Yacheng were nervous. Aroused by this, someone slid his hand and shot an arrow at Boss Gu, hitting the shoulder. The injury was not serious, but Boss Gu turned over and fell to the ground and started to wail. The crowd suddenly exploded, and the bricks flew around. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Lingyi shouted loudly: "Close the door, shoot the arrow!" Crossbow arrows on the top of the city flew around, and people kept hitting the arrows.
The petition site once again became a slaughterhouse. Tan Wang, Hou Jin and several other companions mixed in the crowd worked together to rescue Mr. Gu. Everyone retreated to the alley outside Yacheng. The petition was slaughtered, and the hope of peace turned into complete despair. After Mr. Gu was injured, the people of Beicheng began to riot under the leadership of the vegetable gang. Shao Erlang, the owner and Ergou stood up at this time, stood on the street, denounced Wang Feng's tyranny, and encouraged the people to pick up swords and guns to knock down Wang Feng.
Wang Feng was furious when he heard the news and ordered Xiao Lingyi to quell the riot within an hour. The main force of Xiao Lingyi's subordinate Yajun attacked head-on, and sent a small group of troops to the corners of the Beicheng District to kidnap, assassinate, ignite, spread rumors, and intend to disintegrate the morale of the riots. Wan Duan had already expected this and sent people to ambush the road, arrested several plainclothes Yajun soldiers, tied everyone up and wandered around, so that the people were more vigilant. The people of the Yajun spread rumors again, but no one believed them.
The rioters rose up and fought with the Ya army from house to courtyard. But the kitchen knife could not defeat the big knife. The frontal resistance was brutally suppressed, and the rioters were massacred in large numbers. Wanduan relied on the network of people woven by money to scatter the atrocities of the Ya army. Some people in the Ya army began to shake, and more and more mutiny soldiers were. Things became complicated and subtle. An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Lingyi did not complete the task of suppressing the people. He was afraid that Wang Feng would be criticized, so he simply turned against the enemy and stood on the side of the mob.
Xiao Lingyi's counterattack made Wang Feng both angry and frightened. Even his own tooth army had committed his own rebellion, who could rely on him? At this time, Feng Qingfeng had returned to Zhongshoucheng City. He advised Wang Feng to borrow troops from the barbarian black men outside the city to quell the rebellion. Wang Feng said in surprise: "Isn't this a way to attract the wolf into the house? The best strategy is inappropriate, inappropriate."
Feng Qingfeng disagreed and said, "Turning wolves into the house is certainly the worst way, but if the sheep keep making trouble like this, what can the shepherds get? Instead of being overwhelmed by them, it is better to let them taste the power of wolves. If they are bitten by wolves, they will know that following people is better than following wolves. They will not make trouble in the future."
Wang Feng thought for a long time and nodded slowly, "Let's follow your plan."
Three thousand barbarian blacks entered the city from the east gate and the north gate at the same time to press against the rioting people. The barbarian blacks who were used to riding horses were neither familiar nor adapted to the street fighting in the city, but the barbarian blacks were more able to let go, burn them all, kill them all, and steal them all. It was with these three points that the barbarian blacks forced the rioting people into a dead end in just half an afternoon.
At the time of crisis, Wan Duan bribed the Ximen Supervisor Captain and let hundreds of strong riots out of the city, including Boss Gu, leave the city from Ximen. After the Guan Gu let everyone go, he took his family and took the five thousand taels of "buying money" from Wan Duan to him and ran out of the city to Hedong. He was originally from Hedong, and lived as an official in the Tiande Army. He had no nostalgia for the wars and chaos in the world.
The riot was quelled at dusk, but the disaster of the people in the surrender city began when night fell. After the North City was burned into scorched earth, the black barbarians looted Dongcheng and Nancheng. The raging fire had not stopped at night, and nine out of ten houses in the surrender city were empty. One third of the people were killed, one third of them were looted as slaves, and one third of the fugitives. At dawn, except for Yacheng's four gates being closed to preserve, the outer city had become a ruin scorched earth.
The black man with the plundered property and the population continued to withdraw from the city. Fortunately, the people who were hiding in Yacheng saw that their homes were destroyed and their relatives were plundered, and the crying sounds reached the sky. Wang Feng asked someone to prepare cows and sheep and gold beads and sent Feng Qingfeng to reward the army for the envoys. As soon as Feng Qingfeng arrived at the gate of the black man's camp, the black man rushed up. The black man's soldiers who were holding the cows and the sheep pulled the sheep instantly robbed all the rewards. The black man who had not robbed the things surrounded Feng Qingfeng and asked sternly: "We are hurt for you, so you can fool us with this little thing. Have your conscience been eaten by the dog?"
Feng Qingfeng did not dare to refute, and he piled up a smile on his face and bowed to apologize. The black man didn't know the etiquette of the Central Plains. When he saw Feng Qingfeng raise his hand, he thought he was going to use force. He didn't care about it, but he would beat him up if he held it down.
Feng Qingfeng's nose and eyes were swollen, and his ribs were broken. If Gu Duoli had not arrived in time to stop him, he would have been beaten to death.
He expressed his gratitude to Feng Qingfeng for coming to reward the military Guduoli, and said a few words of comfort to Feng Qingfeng for being beaten and injured. Then he changed his tone and said, "Mr. Feng was unfortunately injured in my camp. I feel very unbearable. I want to send each of the brothers of the army to apologize. In addition, the weather is hot, and our soldiers are still wearing leather boots, which is stuffy and hot. I want to ask each of the brothers of the army to help make a pair of straw sandals. I don't know how convenient it is."
Guduoli took a big turn, but Feng Qingfeng still saw through his true intention: Guduoli was spying on the truth of the East City. Before this, Feng Qingfeng received a military report, and Park Enjun's army had secretly crossed the Lianghe Valley and was detouring towards Huyan Valley. If the Xining army occupied Huyan Valley, it would be like cutting off the road for the black people to retreat north. Guduoli was trying to withdraw his troops and return north! He spying on the truth of the East City to see if he could get another hand before leaving.
Feng Qingfeng coughed and said, "Your army has traveled thousands of miles to help the war. We should do a few pairs of straw sandals to reward the army. If there are enough shoes and straw, you can get 3,500 pairs of straw sandals for your army within two days. As for the sheep, the general also knows that Yacheng is small and even people are still crowded. If you send more than 3,000 sheep in, there is nowhere to be put. General Shengyi, I thank my lord for my lord, so there is no need to send the sheep." Gu Duoli smiled embarrassedly when she heard this.
After seeing off Feng Qingfeng, a group of barbarian generals rushed into the central army's tent and asked Gu Duoli: "General, can we still fight Yacheng?" Gu Duoli lamented: "There are many soldiers in the city that are difficult to attack. Forget it, stay in the camp and retreat overnight." Feng Qingfeng returned to Yacheng and hurriedly informed Wang Feng of this matter. At this time, there were less than a thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers and soldiers in Yacheng. Wang Feng was shocked and sweated in a cold manner when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "It's thanks to the cleverness of the sir, otherwise Yacheng would be out of protection."
That night, Guduoli stayed in the camp and the army quickly retreated north. At dawn, Wang Feng learned the detailed report, but asked Feng Qingfeng: "What should we do now?" Feng Qingfeng said: "In the Tang Dynasty, there is no place to stand. If the lord does not want to stay in the mountains and forests, he can only go to the Bohai Kingdom." Wang Feng said: "Is it the Bohai Kingdom on the coast of the East China Sea? Why do you want to go there?" Feng Qingfeng said: "The lord of the Bohai Sea has admired the civilization of the Tang Dynasty for generations, and the Chinese cultural and educational system is imitated by China. Only then can the lord be able to use it."
Wang Feng lamented: "I am afraid that people who are lost are not willing to accept them." Feng Qingfeng said: "Otherwise, the Lord of Bohai is broad-minded and graceful, and treats all heroes from all over the world with sincerity. Do you still remember Li Shaoqing?"
Wang Feng asked in surprise: "But is Li Shaoqing of Guiyi Army? After he lost his battle for Fengzhou with Yang Hao, there was no news. Could it be that he also defected to the Bohai Kingdom?"
Feng Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, after he was defeated, he led his tribe members to join the Beijun Duke of Bohai Kingdom. Soon after being recommended by the Beijun Duke, he was named a vassal by the King of Bohai. He opened mountains and forests in his fiefdom and recruited refugees to settle down livestock. His current power is not inferior to that time. With the lord's intelligence and wisdom, he must have a place to use his skills in the Bohai Sea." Wang Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately wanted to pack up the fine treasures and burned the Yacheng to go to the Bohai Sea.
Feng Qingfeng advised: "Just pack up the fine and soft treasures, but the city does not need to burn it."
Wang Feng also woke up. At this moment, wouldn't burning the city be like telling the Fengzhou spies outside the city to leave? So, following Feng Qingfeng's plan, packed up more than a dozen boxes of rare jewelry, buried the silver ingots and gold nuggets that he could not take away, or threw them into a dry well, and brought only more than fifty personal guards and quietly left the south city and took the boat to the east.
When Wanduan learned that Wang Feng had escaped, he encouraged Boss Gu to seize Yacheng in the chaos. That night, Park Enjun sent three vanguards into the city to take over defense. On the second day, Park Enjun and Suoe escorted Wang Yun. Wang Bi's brothers returned to the city, but were blocked by the people in the city and refused to enter.
The soldiers escorted the two kings shouted: "The new lord of the Tiande Army has arrived, open the city gate?" The people at the city wall replied: "The Wang family's children have harmed our family and destroyed. We wish we could eat the flesh and sleep with our skin, and we would not support him anymore." After that, the soil and bricks hit Wang Yun and Wang Bi's brothers like raindrops. The two felt ashamed and knelt down to the people at the city wall for a long time.
Park Enjun advised, "Don't be surprised, two, just wait until I ask the soldiers in the city to open the city gate." Wang Yun shouted with tears: "The people hate us so much, what face can we have to go into the city?" Wang Bi said with tears in his face: "The power and blessings of the Wang family have been exhausted, and the people have lost their hearts, and there is no face to be the leader of the Tiande Army. We are willing to worship General Yang as the leader of the Tiande Army, loyally assist, and have no other intentions."
Park Eun-jun said: "Sui is not afraid to make decisions about such a big event, so he can only express his feelings to the generals on behalf of the two." On that day, the garrison was outside the city and took out military rations to help the victims. The people in the city were a little at ease. Wanduan operated secretly, and Mr. Gu led the people in the city out of the city to present the letter of the people to the Xining army and presented the surrender city. Park Eun-jun comforted everyone and said: "Pai really dared not make decisions about such big events. He only dared to transfer the gentleman and the people to the generals to Yang. Before responding, Mr. Gu was asked to lead the people to self-government. Park was willing to do his best to assist the gentleman."
That night, Wan Duan visited the military camp at night and asked Park Enjun: "Why does the general refuse to accept Gu's offering to the city? It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity." Park Enjun said: "The Tiande Army is broken so far, isn't it a burden to carry it on your back? General Manager Wan was determined to get the Tiande Army. Haven't he thought about this?" Wan Duan sneered at the sound of "sneer" and said: "The Tiande Army is the western gate of Fengzhou. Although the people's livelihood is broken, the geography is very important. Holding this gate in the hands of outsiders is ultimately a confidant. As the general, as the chief general, his vision is so short-sighted?"
Park Eun-jun was furious when she heard this, slammed the table and shouted, "Send out the guest." She forced Wan Duan out.
On the third day of Wang Feng's escape, Yang Hao received a secret report from Wan Duan and a military report from Park Enjun. General Yang Hao submitted a petition to transfer the Military and Political Department's award for the remarks, but he held Wan Duan's secret report in his hand for several days without responding. Guan Suo was puzzled and ran to ask. Yang Hao said, "Can you breathe me out in the future when you do things in your intelligence room?" Guan Suo said, "This is Wan Duan's decision without authorization, and I didn't know about it in advance." Yang Hao said dissatisfied: "I'm really a proposition, and now I want me to wipe his butt."
Guan Suo smiled and said, "Just take it over if you make a mistake. Wang Yun is impatient and Wang Bi is too sensible. Even if you have won the Tiande Army, you can still be a military governor. Don't you also get promoted and wealth?"
"It's simple. You have to add tens of thousands of mouths to eat at once, so you can care." Yang Hao smiled bitterly.
The Tiande Army has many mountains and few lands, weak land, and insufficient food every year. Fortunately, the geographical advantage of the location is one of the important trade routes between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty. Most people in the country rely on this trade route to make a living. The civil strife after Wang Qian's death cut off the trade route. If there is no foreign aid this winter, famine will inevitably be inevitable.
"Then move them here. Fengzhou is vast and fertile. They can make land for land to reclaim land. In three to five years, they can still pay grain for you to join the army." Guan Suo said relaxed and comfortable. Yang Hao didn't want to argue with him. It was normal for people to be in different positions, and it was normal to have different thoughts and thoughts. The migration of tens of thousands of people involved all aspects of problems. It was not easy to do. But when I thought about it, what Guan Suo said was not completely unreasonable. The matter had reached this point. I was afraid it would be impossible not to make up my mind.
"Go and invite Qu Qingquan, I have something to discuss with him."
Yang Hao shouted to Mu Lanqing who was watering flowers in the yard. Mu Lanqing hurriedly put down the water scoop and ran out. After receiving the secret report from Wanduan, Yang Hao also had the idea of moving inwardly, but he was afraid that the matter would involve too many aspects and that if the operation was inappropriate, he would leave many sequelae. Therefore, he went to the martial arts school to ask Tankong for advice, and Tankong told him an example: In the past, Liu Qingling regained the three cities of Yunbei from the Khitans, and moved nearly 100,000 people from the thirteen counties in Hedong to guard the border. The planner behind this matter was Uncle Qu Chuji's nephew.
"If you have something to do, I'll leave first. If you don't like Wanduan, I'll transfer him back." Guan Suo stood up and said while walking out.
"This man is very capable. Send him to the Uighurs, and it would be better that he can get me back in the Uighurs' court."
