MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 825 Siege

  Chapter 825 Siege

When he arrived in Shangdang Lu County, Zhao Hanzhang met Wu Erlang, handed Mingyu to him, and told him: "You must protect Mr. Ming. On the bright side, you are the superior, and Mr. Ming is the staff, but how the team behaves depends on Ming." Mr. Dispatch."

  Wu Erlang should go down.

After finishing the business, Zhao Hanzhang mentioned his personal affairs, "Your nephew and niece are in Chen County now, this time I will return to Yuzhou, if you have anything to say to them, you can write a letter and hand it over to Ting He, I will hand it over to them when I return to Chen County."

  Wu Erlang was so happy that he agreed again and again, and hurried down to write a letter.

  Wu Erlang was originally illiterate, just clever, but in the past few years, he has been traveling all over the world, and he has learned to recognize a lot of characters depending on the ledger.

  Not as good as his younger nephews and nieces, but he also reads a lot of characters, but he doesn’t know how to write, and those who do can write badly, but he still likes to write letters to his nephews and nieces.

  The central idea is that you should study hard, repay the girl in the future, practice martial arts hard, and make contributions to the battlefield in the future, honoring your ancestors;

  The money given to you should not be spent indiscriminately, but should be saved. When I go back to marry a wife, if I can’t marry a wife, it will be my pension money, and I have to buy a house...

  At the end, I will briefly mention that I am safe outside, and let them take care of themselves.

  Wu Erlang's caravan only traveled in the north, and the impression given to outsiders was that his master had some face in front of Zhao Hu, so he could get a lot of rare things from Yuzhou.

  People outside did not know that he was from Zhao Hanzhang.

  Wu Erlang and Ming Yu took several carloads of jewelry to Xihe Kingdom. This time the matter was important, so Zhao Hanzhang dispatched another Zhao family army to them, plus more than a dozen carloads of goods, the caravan was mighty and looked very fat.

  But ordinary bandits and horse thieves dare not provoke them.

  As soon as they left, Zhao Hanzhang separated from Ji Yuan, and she hurried back to Yuzhou with the army, accompanied by Fu Tinghan.

  People's thinking will change. We should look at the world with a dynamic perspective. Stubborn persistence will only lead to rigid thinking.

  So after using gunpowder once, Zhao Hanzhang completely opened this Pandora's box. It is up to her to decide whether it is a devil or a fairy that comes out.

  Fu Tinghan didn't say much, if she wanted it, he would make it for her.

Weijun and Jijun have been captured by Beigongchun and Zuti. When Zhao Hanzhang passed by, all the officials left in the territory occupied by Beigongchun came to visit her. The army passed by.

   When he arrived at the place Zu Ti captured, he also ordered people to get out of the way early. Zhao Hanzhang led the army to rush past, and further down was Dunqiu County, which Shi Le had already occupied.

  Shile needs a large army to attack, and there are not many people left to guard the place.

  He also knows that if a place is conquered, there must be enough people to govern and guard the place. His people are far from enough, so he still has to use local people to govern.

  So there are officials who surrender, he uses that official, or selects a gentry from the local area to be in charge.

  Shi Leman had tens of thousands of people, so he couldn't take down a city and slaughter all the officials, gentry and common people in it, right?

  So he also killed chickens to scare monkeys, killed some people to deter them, and then continued to govern with local people.

   This resulted in that most of the people in the city were locals, and even the officials were Jin officials and Jin people.

  As soon as Zhao Hanzhang's army arrived, the people in the city did not have a strong will to resist from top to bottom, so the garrison left by Shi Le resisted desperately.

  But when a shell landed on the tower, blowing up the people above, the echelon team who had been waiting ran forward quickly, a ladder, quickly climbed up, and jumped onto the tower...

  Dunqiu County fell instantly, the Yunti Death Squad opened the city gate, and the vanguard army entered the city. After the city gate was completely controlled, Zhao Hanzhang led people into the city.

  The streets in the city were in a mess. Except for the casualties and captives squatting on the ground, the whole city was silent, and there seemed to be no one else.

  Cui Shi, magistrate of Dunqiu County, led the officials of the county government and the squires in the county to kneel not far away. He peeked at Zhao Hanzhang approaching on horseback, and immediately lowered his body, almost throwing himself to the ground.

   Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The elders who knelt at the front with Cui Shi trembled slightly, and their hands on the ground could hardly support their bodies.

They lowered their eyes, not daring to look up an inch, and their eyes could only see a little bit next to their thumbs. At this time, their hearing was very sensitive. They heard heavy and orderly footsteps coming towards them, and they knew that this It's Zhao Jiajun!

I don't know how Zhao Hanzhang will deal with them. Although it is rumored that she has always treated the captives well, they are different from ordinary captives. Can you accept it?

   Just as he was thinking wildly, Cui Shifu's arm was grabbed by someone, and he tried to help him up.

  Cui Shi raised his head in a daze, and saw Zhao Hanzhang squatting halfway to help him up.

  Cui Shi did not dare to get up, but straightened his waist slightly, even saying that he did not dare.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Shi Le attacked Dunqiu, how many casualties did you have? After entering the city, did you make things difficult for you?"

  Cui Shi burst into tears, and he grabbed Zhao Hanzhang's hand and cried bitterly. He was out of breath from crying for a while, and tears and snot flowed together.

  He raised a sleeve to wipe his face, wanting to stop crying, but he couldn't help it, even he didn't know that there were so many grievances in his heart.

  When the officials and squires behind him heard it, they couldn't help sobbing, tears streaming down their faces.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but wet his eyes, he helped Cui Shi up, and then went to help the old man behind him, sobbing and comforting: "I know, it is very difficult for you to defend the city. There are your parents, wives and children in this city." , and there are so many people who rely on you, the burden on you is very heavy, it is difficult for you, it is difficult for you!"

  As soon as these words came out, the old man who was being supported by her couldn't bear it any longer, and sat down on the ground as soon as he sank, and began to cry loudly. Others also cried loudly, and there was a lot of crying at the scene.

Cui Shi wiped away his tears and snot, knelt down on the ground again with red eyes, and bowed deeply: "The general's words make us ashamed, as Jin officials, we failed to defend the country, and as Jin people, we couldn't defend the land with our lives. I'm really ashamed of the world, if I didn't worry about the people in the city, I really wish I could die for my country."

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to help him up, but seeing that he refused to get up, he took him by the hand and said: "Magistrate Cui's words are wrong. The meaning of a city must be defended is that its existence can save more people. The Party, Luoyang and other places have to defend each other desperately because it affects the whole body."

   "As for other cities, the life and death of the city is more related to the life and death of the people in the city," Zhao Hanzhang said: "I am very happy that the county magistrate Cui can protect the people in Xiadunqiu."

She smiled and said: "My wish is to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. I don't care whether you are in Jin, under Liu Cong, or under Shi Le, as long as you can live well and live your life well." , I am satisfied."

"If you can't do it, you have to live first. When I have the ability to protect you in the future, I will protect you again," Zhao Hanzhang said: "You have done a good job this time. First, you have saved most of the people. I am very grateful to you, and His Majesty will be very grateful to you."

When Cui Shi heard this, tears burst out of his eyes again. He took Zhao Hanzhang's hand and cried bitterly: "General, envoy, in the battle of Shile, more than 36,000 people were killed and injured in Dunqiu County. I have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time. I really have nowhere to go." This is why I have no choice but to surrender to the enemy, otherwise, he will slaughter me all over the city."

  Zhao Hanzhang lifted the man up with tears in his eyes, and nodded with tears, "I know, I know, the incident happened suddenly, and the help from all over the place was insufficient. This is the fault of me, the general, and Your Majesty. It is because we did not arrange you well."

   A group of people cried in front of each other, and almost vented their emotions. Only then did Zhao Hanzhang help the few leaders up, and everyone went to the county government together.

  Cui Shi glanced at the captives being taken out, and quickly said that some of them were theirs.

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Don't worry, someone will identify their identities, and my Zhao family army has always treated the prisoners well, and they will be fine."

Only then did Cui Shi feel relieved. He turned around and took a look outside the city. From here, he could still see the neatly lined up army outside the city. He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said to Zhao Hanzhang: "General, please invite the army into the city." ?”

  Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "They are stationed outside the city. There are enough people in the city. It is not convenient for us to stay for a long time. The future governance of Dunqiu will depend on you."

  Cui Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that the army would enter the city, and that Dunqiu County might experience another looting. The disaster scene of Shi Le's army entering the city is still vivid.

  The country gentry who were listening on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly gave Cui Shi a wink, and Cui Shi hurriedly said: "Then I will ask someone to prepare food, grass, vegetables and meat for the army..."

  Zhao Hanzhang glanced at their faces, shook his head and said: "No need, you have just gone through disasters, and your life is very difficult."

She looked at the village elders behind Cui Shi, and said solemnly: "But if you have any spare money, please help the people in the city. I know that Shi Le's army will surely plunder when they enter the city. This year is not good. Well, everyone's life is already difficult, and to encounter this again, for ordinary people, it is tantamount to a catastrophe."

   "The vitality and prosperity of a place cannot be separated from the local people. I also ask all the villagers to help them so that they can tide over this difficulty."

  The eyes of the villagers turned red, and they nodded quickly in response, expressing that they would ask for food to be used for disaster relief after returning.

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded, and then went back to the county office with Cui Shi.

  She declined their invitation to hold a dinner, and then discussed with them the reconstruction work of Dunqiu County in detail.

In just over an hour, Fu Tinghan and Fan Ying had straightened out the situation in Dunqiu County, counted the people left by Shi Le, handed over the dead and injured to Cui Shi, and those who were still alive, they all took them as prisoners take away.

  The rest of the captured local garrisons and yamen servants were released. At the same time, they also counted the spoils this time and touched the financial situation of Dunqiu County.

Fu Tinghan and Fan Ying just made a brief note, the notes were very scribbled, but Zhao Hanzhang read them carefully. After reading them carefully, she pondered for a moment and said to Cui Shidao: "I will leave some weapons and armor for you, so that you can I will guard the city in the future."

  Cui Shi's eyes brightened, and he quickly responded.

   I have caught a cold these days, and my tonsils are inflamed, so the update is a bit stretched

   PS: I found out tonight that 3,000 words seems to be easier to write. Next, I want to change the way of writing a chapter of 3,000 words. I hope you don’t dislike it. It’s not that the unit price has increased, but the number of words has increased.
