Chapter 1113 Changping County Lord 61
Xining looked at the group of "waiters" in front of him and felt it was irritating: "There are so many people here this time, what are you going to do?"
It's a bunch of dead men pretending to be chamberlains. You can imagine a group of rough guys pretending to be chamberlains. It's so exciting.
There are quite a lot of people there. I usually see four at most, but today there are eight. Those four are probably on the night shift.
The leader clasped his fists: "County Lord, it's dangerous to go here. This General Zhang has already planned to abandon the city, but the Huns have surrounded the north and south gates. He will surrender sooner or later."
Not sooner or later, but immediately, tomorrow.
Another said: "The county master has always taken care of us. How can we sit back and ignore the national crisis?"
"Take us with you, and use the slogan of throwing objects. We will kill this traitor who surrendered without a fight, and we will defend the city to the death!"
"Defend the city to the death! Defend the city to the death! Defend the city to the death!" A group of dead soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
Xi Ning looked at these dead soldiers and couldn't help but get a little wet in his eyes... Even the dead soldiers had an innocent heart to protect their family and country and repay their kindness. But can you dress up nicely? Even if you shave your beard, some of you may even apply powder to look like you, but a rough man will still be a rough man.
"Thank you all the martyrs! This..." Xi Ning was so moved that he saluted him, but as a result, he knelt down on one leg as soon as the dead soldiers were killed.
Uh... Actually, I want to say later that the powder on my face is not fully applied, it is a bit rosy.
Now I can only change my words: "Fear me all righteous men, if you don't mind, please go change into servant clothes and follow me."
"It all depends on the county chief's arrangement!" After saying that, he disappeared in a flash and ran to change clothes.
While changing clothes, he scolded me, pretending to be a eunuch, just pretending to be a servant. I even shaved off my beard!
Jing'er beside her was also speechless for a long time. These dead soldiers were loyal, but they were a little stupid. Killing the general is no joke. Have you heard too many stories about ambushing five hundred swordsmen and axemen behind the tent and throwing cups as a sign? Dressed like this, unless the general is also a fool.
By the time Xining got on the bus, these dead soldiers had already changed their clothes and blended into the team.
General Zhang's residence was first located in the private house closest to the north gate. The officers and soldiers outside were all ashen-looking and weak. Only when he saw a group of people driving cattle and sheep, bringing firewood, grain and grass, did someone get up and come over.
Butler Xiao shouted loudly: "The Lord of Changping County has come to reward the army. Please ask the commander here to speak!"
Are you here to deliver food and drink? Look how fat this sheep is. After fighting for a day and night, and escaping for their lives, the hungry officers and soldiers suddenly let out a thunderous voice: "Thank you so much, Lord Changping County!"
Butler Xiao immediately ordered to cook a pot, kill a sheep to make soup, and chop noodles into strips... He also brought the city's doctors to heal the wounded soldiers.
Those officers and soldiers were in good spirits and rolled up their sleeves to help. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. This county master is so kind.
Ningyuan General Zhang heard the commotion and came out. He was dressed in military uniform, and the armor shuttle plates made a clicking sound. Hearing that the Lord of Changping County was coming to reward the army, he walked to the chariot and saluted: "The general did not know that the Lord of the County was coming, so he was far away to welcome him."
The mayor of Changping County, who was wearing precious clothes, came out of the car and stood in the car. It seemed that the snow floating in the air had become much smaller and the pace slowed down. All the officers and soldiers who could be seen nearby were stunned... Is this a human being? She is simply a fairy who has descended to earth!
There were also a few people who went over to help catch the sheep and were tying the legs with hemp rope. The sheep was already "bleating" and stepping on it, and the rope was about to be put on the hooves. These people were also stunned. Maintaining the posture, as if frozen, it looked a bit funny, but the sheep struggled to get up and ran for its life like crazy.
Xining raised his hand and supported Jing'er's arm to get out of the car. At this time, nothing can go wrong. If you step on the hem of your skirt, slip, or the like, and roll out of the car, your gorgeous appearance will turn into a complete joke. It will be a disaster.
After getting out of the car, he spoke slowly to General Zhang, whose eyes were straight: "General Zhang is guarding the border. His hard work is very rewarding, so there is no need to be polite." The voice was soft and pleasant, like the sound of nature. After three months in the army, a sow competes with Diao Chan. There were no common people at Linguan, and General Zhang's family members were also unable to accompany the army in the capital.
General Zhang seemed to be breathing faster, and his whole body seemed to be responding. But he still maintained his grace and turned around, pointing his hand towards the room: "Please!"
Supported by Jing'er, followed by Butler Xiao, four maids, and two dead men, they walked in.
The onlookers quickly grabbed the sheep and continued their work.
The room has been sorted out, and there is a sword rack on the side. It has two floors. There is a sword on the top and a riding whip on the bottom.
Xining knew at a glance that this general was unreliable.
It looks good, with a strong back and thick armor, but when running away, without food and grass, it carries such a useless frame. It can be seen that he has a good face, but also is selfish and willful.
"County Lord, please!" General Zhang raised his hand respectfully to the mat of honor.
Xining was not polite, walked over, knelt down and sat down.
Jing'er breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, thinking that the county master was planning to sit sideways again. However, the county leader's etiquette is impeccable when meeting important people on big occasions.
General Zhang took the second seat and pretended: "It's embarrassing to say that Zhang is a defeated general at this time, but the county leader did not give up."
Of course you have to say nice things, but it's not time to fall out yet. Xining said slowly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. This time the Xiongnu suffered a snow disaster, they were as ferocious as evil wolves, and a temporary defeat is inevitable. Does the general have any countermeasures next?"
At this time, someone came in from outside: "Report to the general, Linyi County Magistrate Zhou Changyu wants to see you."
General Li looked disdainful: "General, I have a distinguished guest coming, see you another day."
"Hey~" Xining quickly stopped: "Maybe County Magistrate Zhou has some important military information to report, so let him come in, no problem!"
"Since the county chief has said so, let him come in." General Li said in an official tone. He is at the fifth rank, while the county magistrate is only at the seventh rank, and Linyi County is a very wet county and can barely be considered a county.
County Magistrate Zhou rushed in, wearing casual clothes instead of official clothes, and a mink fur cloak. When he saw that the county leader was there, he immediately saluted the county leader, and then said hurriedly to General Li: "My mother in my hometown is sick, and I am here. I would like to ask General Li to open the south gate for my convenience. Return home.”
I knew nothing good would come of it. Look at the county magistrate, he brought food and drink with him when he came.
General Li sneered: "I'm afraid if the city gate is opened and County Magistrate Zhou goes out, he won't be able to return to his hometown alive."
"How do you say this?" County Magistrate Zhou was surprised.
General Li shook his head slightly: "Let me tell you clearly, the Huns have detoured from the side and surrounded the entire Linyi County. Ten thousand people are stationed at the north gate, and the other five thousand are stationed at the south gate. With the help of County Magistrate Zhou, It’s probably less than five miles away and I’m going to kill the Huns.”
