Chapter 19 The Golden Arrow Withers

Fang Litian did not take over as the head of Suizhou for a long time, but with his extraordinary courage and sufficient sugar-coated shells, he still won over and bribed a group of generals of the Shence Army. Most of these people could only be used as embellishments when peace was gone, but there were also hundreds of dead soldiers who could rely on them in times of crisis.

It was with these hundreds of dead soldiers that Zhang Bozhong turned the world upside down! Although he did not agree with what Zhang Bozhong said, he couldn't say anything else. Who would really spit out the meat he had eaten? Even if Yang Hao was worried about brotherhood and unwilling to occupy Suizhou for a long time, it was not ruled out that he would take short-term possession of Suizhou when he had the opportunity. Suizhou is not a small city, and the city has not been compromised by foreign enemies for six or seven years. Who wouldn't eat such a fat sheep into his hands and not eat him?

The news that Wenlan abandoned the city was spread by Fang Litian and everyone knew that Suizhou City was in an uproar, and officials, gentry and people were in fear. Wenlan, who was rumored to be so magical, was such a fool, and the prestige of the Shen Ce Army plummeted.

Just as the city was in chaos and despair, Mao Linbo, the captain of the Polangying Dian Army, commanded two posts to set up ambush on the banks of Wuding River in the south of the city, and captured Wenlan who had abandoned the city and fled. Mao Linbo also used double hammers. Seeing that Wenlan was also hung on his saddle, he was unbearable and he rushed forward to take Wenlan.

After a fight, Wenlan felt weak, and withdrew his horse and ran away, secretly took a bow to shoot Maolinbo. Maolinbo was short and avoided him with an arrow, and the flying hammer broke Wenlan's mount and his horse's legs. Wenlan was captured.

Zhang Bozhong suspected that Wenlan was fake, so he found Fang Litian to identify it and confirmed that it was Wenlan, a military envoy in Suizhou. Zhang Bozhong sneered: "Everyone praises you for your strategy, good at using troops, and is brave enough to win the army. Why are you so abscess?" Wenlan was ashamed and found 260 pieces of luggage that Wenlan carried, and the price was more than 100,000 yuan in gold, silver and jewelry. In addition to the famous prostitute, Thirteen Niang, Wenlan also kept 17 women in the city, and more than 20 mansions in various places.

When Hu Ling, the deputy envoy of Suizhou, heard that Wen Lan was captured, he took over as the envoy of the military. Shen Ce Army stationed in Suizhou had three battalions of troops, totaling 3,500, but most of them were children of local gentry who were nominated. These people never participated in military training, feared death, and had a casual style. When they saw that there was something wrong, they took back their families. When they heard that Wen Lan was captured outside the city, they even closed their doors and did not dare to stand out.

Hu Ling was a veteran on the battlefield and had no soldiers, so he led his personal soldiers and slaves to the streets to suppress the situation. The situation in the city was slightly settled. Fang Litian turned against the captain Hu Qinglin, who had a grudge against Hu Ling, led the crowd to mutiny, and set up an ambush in the middle of the street, shooting Hu Ling with poisonous arrows. After gaining power, Hu Qinglin called himself the military envoy of Suizhou and hired Fang Litian as his military advisor.

Fang Litian made a statement: "Wenlan fish and meat to the people, stirring up civil unrest. The ups and downs will definitely pursue it. For the current plan, one is to quell the riots in the city, and the other is to draw a clear line with Wenlan. Both are indispensable." He volunteered to incorporate the "horse bandits" who were harassed in the city, and urged Hu Qinglin to welcome Wu Cao who was driven out of the city by Wenlan to show his desire to break with Wenlan. Hu Qinglin followed suit.

The recruitment of the "Ma bandits" was extremely smooth. Mao Linbo agreed to surrender to the official army, on the condition that they would no longer be held accountable for harassing the city from then on. Hu Qinglin readily agreed. Mao Linbo was stationed in Beidaying as a captain of the Shence Army, and the North Gate was under his direct control. Wu Cao was welcomed back to the city by Feng Guangguang, and Hu Qinglin gave him a job as a teacher in Suizhou.

The overall situation was settled a little, Hu Qinglin was greedy for money and lustful, and his narrow-minded nature was fully exposed. He used the excuse of hunting down the remnants of the bandits and soldiers to rob the people's property. The money he earned was 37% of the money, and he got 37% of the money, which caused public resentment. In order to calm the public resentment, he threw Wenlan and Hu Ling's old subordinates out as scapegoats. He killed forty or fifty people in a row to calm the public resentment.

Under Zhang Bozhong's planning, Wu Cao stepped forward as a teacher in Suizhou. While harshly scolding officers and soldiers for robbing soldiers, he vacated the school building to accommodate the homeless people who were burned down by fire. He also received secret funding from Zhang Bozhong to raise funds to set up porridge sheds to help the poor people. Hu's old subordinates also tried their best to rescue those Wen who were persecuted by Hu Qinglin.

Wu Cao's actions aroused great dissatisfaction. Hu Qinglin said furiously: "I am poor and enchanting people's hearts everywhere, what do you mean?" Fang Litian said: "This person is no longer valuable now, and he is just going to attack him to shock the people." Hu Qinglin thought it was reasonable, so he sent his personal guards to arrest Wu Cao. Before his personal soldiers had gone out, Fang Litian reported the news to Zhang Bozhong secretly.

Zhang Bozhong immediately asked Li Wei to take Wu Cao to the porridge shed at the intersection of the Cross Street to serve the porridge. While rushing to Beidaying, he ordered Mao Linbo to prepare for troops to attack Hu Qinglin.

When Wu Cao rushed to the porridge shed, the people who were drinking porridge knelt down and shouted "Bodhisattva" and "Good man, the voice resounded throughout the sky. Wu Cao looked kind and asked about his well-being. When he saw an old woman in ragged clothes and trembling with cold, he took off his fur coat and put it on her body. This behavior attracted a lot of cheers. Wu Cao rolled up his sleeves amid the cheers of everyone and personally served the spoon to serve the porridge. The people rushed forward, all of whom were proud of drinking a bowl of porridge he served.

There were hustle and bustle. Suddenly, a burst of explosions were heard, and dozens of soldiers pushed the crowd away and rushed to the porridge shed to arrest Wu Cao.

Li Wei and a group of plainclothes guards stepped forward, protected Wu Cao, and asked the personal soldiers: "Why do you want to capture Wu Shanren?" The personal soldiers and gangsters reached out and tried to push him away, but they could not move him. They were frightened and drew their swords and threatened: "I am ordered to do the job, so you don't cause trouble." Li Wei shouted: "What dog official! Wu Shanren is a Bodhisattva who came down to earth to save the people from water and fire. What's the reason for you to help the dog official harm him?" Everyone asked in unison.

Seeing that the soldiers and gangsters had already touched the anger of the public, they panicked and said deceitfully: "Don't misunderstand everyone. The general asked Mr. Wu to enter the mansion to discuss the relief of the disaster victims." As soon as he said this, many people believed it.

Suddenly a famous soldier stood up behind him and shouted, "He is lying, Hu Qinglin wants to kill Wu Shanren! This is what I heard with my own ears." Without waiting for the personal soldiers and gangsters to defend themselves, Li Wei picked up a brick and smashed it in the face. As he took the lead, more than a dozen companions also fucked the guys and joined the battle group. For a moment, the bowls flew everywhere, and the bricks were like rain.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Wei climbed up and raised his arms and shouted, "Get settled the accounts with Hu Qinglin!" Everyone was moved by his emotions, and they killed the troops and horse envoys. Before that, Mao Linbo had already ambushed outside the troops and horse envoys. When Hu Qinglin heard that Wu Cao refused to arrest him and incited the people to cause trouble, he was furious and led his personal soldiers to shout and kill. As soon as others sent the troops and horse envoys, they were shot to death by a cold arrow.

Everyone was frightened and there were no dragons and at a loss. At this moment, Fang Litian came on a horse. Everyone asked him to offer his plans to attack and kill Wu Cao. Fang Litian pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "The people's hearts should not be deceived. Wu Cao is protected by tens of thousands of people in the city. Who dares to touch him again? Who of you has the courage to kill the people in the city?" Everyone was speechless when they heard this.

Fang Litian took the opportunity to say, "In my opinion, it is better to go and stand up early to find a future for himself." Everyone woke up as if they were dreaming and wanted to go to stand up Wu Cao in a panic. Fang Litian stopped him and said, "If you go in a mess, you will definitely be despised. Why not fight a full guard of ceremonies and conquer him?" Everyone followed his words, and made a full ceremony and welcomed him half a mile.

Everyone recommended Wu Cao as the military defense envoy of Suizhou. Because the governor of Suizhou had not visited the state for six years, the military commander was in charge of the army and the people. Wu Cao knew that he was just a puppet that could be manipulated by others, and he did not seek to control the overall situation of Suizhou. But as the nominal lord of Suizhou, he could still do some things, such as asking Thirteen Niang in prison to go to the bedroom to serve.

This kind of thing seems dirty, but Wu Cao knew in his heart that Zhang Bozhong and Fang Litian would be happy to see all this. A puppet with no ambition and only money and women in his eyes was the most in line with their wishes.

...

Yinzhou is located in the northwest of Suizhou, and a Wuding River connects the two places together.

As the sun sets, the waves on the Wuding River in the north of Yinzhou City are shimmering. On the platform of the dots by the river, Meng Bochang looked at the three thousand soldiers with his eyes. This is the essence of the Xia Sui army, equipped with all the owls. Three cannons sounded, and each army came out one after another. The Yama General Lian Yong led a owl and asked Meng Bochang to get on the horse. Meng Bochang stepped on the stirrup and was about to turn over the horse when a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shivered. Meng Bochang was stunned for a moment.

Lian Yong asked in surprise: "General, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Bochang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I shivered by the cold wind."

Lian Yong said in surprise: "This may be an ominous sign, so the general should leave later."

Meng Bochang snorted: "If you go too late, Suizhou will no longer be surnamed Meng. That is an ominous sign." He still got on his horse.

Yinzhou is only a hundred miles away from Suizhou, and Wulong's legs are fast. He has arrived at the city in one hour. At this moment, it is dark and there is a silence everywhere. Only two wind lights on the arrow tower in the west gate of Suizhou are swaying in the night sky. A day ago, Meng Bochang received a secret report. The Suizhou garrison Wenlan was imprisoned by an instructor named Wu Cao. Meng Bochang was not willing to believe that a small instructor was capable of imprisoning Wenlan. He concluded that Yang Hao was attacking the matter behind the scenes. He felt quite unhappy. You came to Xiazhou to ask me to send troops, why did you take action in Suizhou first?

Lian Yong went to call the door, but before he arrived at the suspension bridge, he was shot back by the defenders. Meng Bochang was furious and urged him to come forward, whip and shouted, "Call Zhang Bozhong out and reply." The guards at the city gate replied, "What Zhang Bozhong? Li Bozhong? We Wang Bozhong don't have it either."

Zhang Bozhong has been hiding behind the scenes and has never appeared publicly. Not to mention that the guards do not know his name, even Wu Cao does not know his real name. Meng Bochang didn't know this. He thought it was Zhang Bozhong who refused to show up, and he was furious and said, "I am Meng Bochang, and I asked you to come and see me."

The guards of Meng Bochang had heard of the name of the guards. The guards were extremely frightened and were about to repay them. Another junior school stopped him and said, "Don't you be fooled by him, how can you call yourself as a general? This person must be a fake." After that, he pulled the bow and shot an arrow at Meng Bochang. He shouted, "Get out quickly, get out quickly, go forward, I'm not polite."

Meng Bochang could not bear this energy. He took the carved bow and returned it with an arrow. A golden arc broke through the air and was passing through the hat tassel of the school. The guards were extremely frightened and could not speak well.

"Golden Feather Arrow, urging the judge to death!"

Meng Bochang's nickname and his golden feather arrows are often more famous than him. The terrified guards rushed to report to Wu Cao. At this moment, a crossbow quietly poked out from a window in the arrow tower and aimed at Meng Bochang...

Meng Bochang fell off the horse's back without warning, with a crossbow arrow inserted into his neck. Lian Yong grabbed Meng Bochang and reached out to cover the wound on his neck. Blood gushed out from his fingers.

"Meng Bochang is dead, why don't you get out of here!"
