Chapter 127

The bright sunshine in spring shines on the earth.This is a season of revival of all things. The cold winter is completely far away from the world. The willows sprout new green buds, and flowers emerge one after another from the grass. The crystal dew is transparent, fresh and beautiful.The warm wind caresses countless lives, and they grow happily.

However, the current Yuncheng County looks completely different compared to this beautiful time under the bright spring sun.

It was like being shrouded in the bitter cold of March and September in winter, and countless people were shivering.Since Yang Tuanlian returned to the county yesterday, the county magistrate has collapsed on the bed.

The news that thousands of officers and soldiers had been wiped out swept through the entire county like a strong wind.The letters brought back by the boats that escaped by chance from the Wenshui River made Cao Jing almost lose his breath, so that countless people chose to escape here that day.But some people still don't believe it. After all, the army led by Dang Shixiong is so powerful, how could it be so vulnerable?Besides Dang Shixiong, isn't Yang Tuan also trained?Then they waited for Yang Tuanlian, who returned with a horse. He was completely puzzled by the process of Dang Shixiong's entire army being wiped out, but he himself was really wiped out.Soon the regiment trainer chose to close the door to thank the guests and treat the crime behind closed doors.

Until the afternoon of the second day, a group of exhausted troops returned to Yuncheng, and it was Wu Song and his group.This was the only team that returned in the two days after the bad news came.But there are only more than 200 people.

Then Yuncheng County waited for Liang Shanbo's 'army'!
It is an exaggeration to say that it is a large army.In fact, there are only five battalions, including the Guards Battalion and the Navy Battalion.The other battalions are packing up the seized war spoils and escorting the prisoners of war.

"...My village is adjacent to Gui County, and there are a lot of people who have recently purchased it, so that there is a shortage of money, food and clothing. I have heard that Yuncheng is very rich, so Lu Qian came here to borrow..."

This is a letter shot on the top of the city by an arrow, written on a foot of white cloth.Lu Qian's words in the letter are very gentle, people who don't know will think that this is a loan exchange between friendly merchants.But for Cao Jing, this is Yichi Guoguo's redemption fee, but it is also an extremely effective magic medicine for Yiji.

It can be called medicine to cure diseases.

Cao Dazhi, who had collapsed on the bed for two days before, immediately regained the prestige of Bailihou.

Isn't it easy to say that Liangshan bandits are going to attack the city?

Money, food and materials are abundant in Yuncheng County.Even if Dang Shixiong's hoarding of food and fodder in Yuncheng would not be counted, the redemption fee needs to be raised separately from all walks of life in Yuncheng. Is this a trivial matter?As long as the city is not broken, everything can be done.

The former magistrate of Cao Da County always thought that Liangshan would take advantage of the situation to break through Yuncheng.How could the Liangshan bandits let go of the tens of thousands of shi of military rations and a large number of military supplies hoarded in this county?And he, Cao Jing, had no plan to defend against the enemy outside the city, but he was responsible for guarding the land, and he was unwilling to flee in the wilderness. His reputation was ruined, and he already had the will to die.I never thought that Lu Yuhou was so easy to talk to.

"Everyone has read it too. The Liangshan bandits only gave us one day, so we won't wait when it's over." In Lu Qian's words, if he didn't get the money and food that satisfied him by then, he would take it himself.

Cao Jing shamelessly used Lu Qian's words to frighten the gentry and businessmen in Yuncheng sitting here.Although a group of them had already fled to other places, those who had representatives in Yuncheng were also invited by Cao Jing today.

Song Jiang sat down behind a small table in the diagonal, with a pen in his hand, paper and ink spread on the table, looking at the gentry and merchants in Yuncheng who were being turned into a butcher by Cao Jing in the hall, looking at the gentry and merchants. Painful, and an unspeakable sense of comfort rose in my heart.

He had received a personal letter from his brother Song Qing before, Song Qing, Chao Gai, Zhu Dian, Lei Heng, these confidant brothers and his subordinate Tu Yong are all still there.The people in Liangshan were very considerate and entertained them with delicious food and drinks, except that there was some sympathy with Lei Heng, everything was fine.Just wait for the war to end before releasing them.

Song Qing's letter didn't say a word, but Song Jiang thought of the scene in Huang'an Town.That time, he and Chao Gai contributed three or four thousand guan to repay Liang Shan's favor.This time, it can't be too much.

I, Song Gongming, want to cut off two or three taels of fine meat. How can this group of gentry and merchants in front of me give up?

Moreover, after Song Qing, Chao Gai and others returned to the county, Song Jiang also had to offer a sum of money to Cao Jing so that he would not be held accountable.Otherwise, this matter will be difficult to recover.It can be said that Song Jiang suffered huge losses in this war.

In this way, Lu Qian stayed outside the city for two days, and took back [-] shi of grain and grass, [-] guan of silver, [-] jin of pig iron, [-] pieces of silk and linen, leather, medicinal materials, military weapons, etc. There are countless things.

The army returned to Liangshan, leaving Cao Jing, the magistrate of Yuncheng, and Zhou Bin, the commander of the giant camp, who were very lucky.Because the latter was not liked by Dang Shixiong, after working as a coolie, he still stayed in Yuncheng to transport materials and fodder, and he still used it as a coolie.But now, he has earned a sum of credit for nothing.

Because of Cao Dazhi's wonderful pen, he handed over an official document.He also stated in the article that Cao Jing was brave, loyal and fearless, led the army and civilians in the city, commanded well, repelled several onslaughts of Liangshan bandits in two days of bloody battles, and finally forced the bandits to retreat.And Zhou Bin, the only commander who stayed in Yuncheng, even if he is only the commander of a Xiang barracks, has become his right-hand man during the defense of Cao Dazhi County.

Only Yang Zhi who closed the door and treated the crime, this person is really a good man in times of crisis.Obviously, he had a good attitude towards crimes, but Cao Jing intentionally or unintentionally labeled him as inaction.He also said that he returned to the city on horseback, suspected to have fled before the battle.Otherwise, it can't explain why Wu Song, who was his subordinate, escaped with most of the brave men in Qinghe County?But he himself fled back alone?This Wu Song also had a side in Cao Dazhi's statement, but it was only the side that framed Yang Zhi.

As a result, the Jeju government suddenly came down with an official document, wanting to take Yang Zhi.The latter was still ignorant, and shouted to the officials who came down from the state capital: "What is my crime?" Most of the funerals, what should I do? I think you are a famous family, if you don't shame your face, don't ask for trouble."

When Yang Zhi heard that he had been accused of deserting a soldier, his blue face immediately turned red. He is a descendant of the Yang family, how could he bear such infamy? "The magistrate and minister heard who framed it, and Yang Zhi was wronged." This matter is no small matter, and there must be a witness.

The official of the state government said: "I will give you a testimony to teach you to see the real stolen goods and the real thieves, so that everyone will know that the magistrate has never wronged you."

"Left and right, please come to Cao Xianzun."

A while later, Cao Jing arrived in a sedan chair, and bluntly said that Yang Zhi had abandoned the army and fled, so that less than [-] of the thousands of brave men under his command returned.Hearing this, Yang Zhi was dumbfounded, and at the same time burst into anger, scolding Cao Jing for trapping him, he is really a despicable villain.

The official of the state government shouted: "It is necessary not to do anything with me. I saw that someone told you that Cao Xianzun is here. You two will have a point of difference in the government office." After the words fell, they asked someone to put Yang Zhi into the prison car.And Cao Jing also rode on an old horse, picked up a hundred Xiangyong, and set off for the Jeju mansion.
