Chapter 2071 Gui Zi Juan: Five Dings of Food for Life, Five Dings of Cooking for Death
"So I can only choose Erpazi, the Tiger King of Tiaojian." Li Guibao sighed, "This guy is not a good guy, he is lustful and greedy for money, but there is only one thing worth watching, that is, he dares to risk his life, and adults will also watch. That's all."
Liu Dingfeng nodded, "This guy is a desperate scoundrel in Qingjian. He has been gathering in Qingcaowu. He dared to use his small power to annex another rebel army. In the end, he failed to succeed. What's rare is that this guy was still able to hold on to a group of people even after being defeated. Helping people cross the Wuding River to Wu Fort, not only did the people's hearts remain intact along the way, but they also attracted a lot of people. Speaking of which, this guy is really not an easy person."
"This guy is greedy for money and lustful, but he is very generous to his subordinates and can win people's hearts. Otherwise, we would not be able to gather this group of people and keep them together." Li Guibao wiped his beard under his nose and said thoughtfully: "Maybe your Excellency is interested in this kind of thing. I’d rather approve it with one hand.”
"This guy is courageous and resourceful, but greed for money and **** are nothing. Moreover, he is generous to the people below, and greed for money is not established. From this point of view, this guy is still a promising talent." Liu Dingfeng After pondering for a while, "But the few men and horses he has under his command are not enough to deal with Waitianqi's gang. Otherwise, he may repeat the same mistakes he made in Qingjian."
Li Guibao said leisurely: "That's why we need to take action."
Liu Dingfeng’s eyes lit up, “My lord, have you decided?”
“Well, if we have a good deal with Wang Ermazi, it will be our turn to take action. Of course we have to make arrangements.”
Li Guibao has no psychological barriers to taking action against the rebel leaders such as Waitianqi. Even if it is a sneak attack and assassination, taking action in the name of the government is to do justice for heaven, and it is natural.
"Okay." After a few days of contact, Liu Dingfeng also felt Feng Ziying's eclectic methods, and he agreed with Feng Ziying's approach of just seeking results at any cost. The city is about to be destroyed, and you still have to talk about benevolence, justice and morality with the rebels. That would be too much. So pedantic.
The news passed from the city was quickly sent to the rebel king Ermazi Wang Chengwu outside the city.
The person who delivered the letter was Heliande.
In addition to his excellent martial arts skills, what is more important is that he is quick-tongued, flexible in mind, and loyal, courageous and reliable.
After Feng Ziying had a long conversation with him, he was confirmed.
Going out of the city to see Wang Er Mazi is risky. If Wang Er Mazi really wants to kill him, even if his martial arts skills are superior, he will not be able to escape the outcome of one against a hundred.
However, this possibility is almost non-existent. Wang Ermazi is not stupid, and there is no benefit in killing Lai Envoy, so Heliande is not worried. What he is worried about is that he cannot bring back the most perfect result.
When he stepped into the rebel camp, Heliande was sure that Master Feng's words were true.
This rebel army may have a certain amount of courage and fighting spirit, but its lack of effective organization and training greatly limits its combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of this rebel army is more due to the morale maintained by the tenacity and bravery of its leader, and its biggest weakness is poor training and weak organization.
Looking at the disorderly way in which this rebel army set up camp and built a stronghold, as well as the chaotic gathering of troops, you can see how unreliable it is for such an army to launch a siege offensive.
This is probably the reason why the two rebel armies of Jumping Stream Tiger and Digging Tiger refused to attack Wubao County. No leader would be so unwise to sacrifice his own strength to make a wedding dress for others.
Wang Chengwu's face was gloomy and uncertain, his hands were rubbing together nervously, and he stood motionless in the tent.
No one expected that the situation would turn out like this. Suddenly, the wind in Wubao City changed drastically. The original news that came out was that the people named Xia were at their wits' end. What could be done with just a few hundred people? Then we can capture Wubao City.
Who would have thought that a big shot suddenly came, said to be from Long Jinwei, who took over the Zeng family and the Qu family in one fell swoop, and powerfully integrated hundreds of the private soldiers of the squires in the city, plus Min Zhuang, this was a There are more than a thousand people, so they cannot be underestimated.
But when will Long Jinwei have to take care of these things?
It's not that he can't be controlled, but in Wang Chengwu's impression, Long Jinwei was too unfamiliar and too high-ranking. It gave people the impression that they were all the emperor's hawks and dogs, and they only targeted those high-ranking and rebellious officials.
The civil unrest in Shaanxi has been going on for so long, and the riots in Luochuan and Yanzhou in the south have become even more serious. I haven't heard of Long Jinwei intervening, so why did they choose to intervene in the small Wubao County?
It is really hard to figure it out, but Wang Chengwu also knows that the situation has become like this, and it is time to think carefully about where to go.
He had been idle and fond of causing trouble since he was a child, and he had never planned to be a farmer and die in the fields. He remembered an ancient saying from a teacher in the countryside when he was a child, which probably meant that a real man would either have to use a cauldron to eat in his life, or he would be used by others. Cooked means either a vigorous life or a vigorous death, and he agrees with it.
The severe drought that started last year has left Qingjian County with almost no harvest. Refugees in the countryside gathered in droves, and some went south to join the Yanchuan Rebel Army.
However, the Yanchuan rebels were immediately defeated by the official army and fled south to Yichuan. Wang Chengwu did not go south to Yichuan because he felt that it was too far from his hometown, so he simply took a group of people back to Qingjian Qingcaowu and hid there.
When the drought worsened last winter and this spring, and the people in the countryside could no longer live anymore and began to gather again to attack the rural gentry and landlords, he jumped out, quickly raised the banner, recruited the victims to join, and soon became an important member of the Qingjian Rebel Army. One.
However, in the subsequent battle for the dominance of the Qingjian Rebel Army, he failed to defeat another rebel army as he wished. Instead, he was driven out of Qingjian and had to find a way out to Wu Fort.
Fortunately, the disaster here in Wubao was more serious than that in Qingjian, so he recruited many victims along the way to join in. When he shouted the inflammatory slogan of "open the city gate and eat food," When this slogan was aimed at Wubao County, Wubao County quickly became the target of attacks by the disaster-resident rebels from Suide to Mizhi, from Jiazhou to Qingjian.
In Wang Chengwu's opinion, Wubao County is the easiest to attack among the counties in Yan'an Prefecture. Moreover, Wubao County is located between the Yuchengyu Ferry and Qikou Ferry. This place is used as a transit and distribution center for food supplies, making it have all the most attractive target characteristics.
I originally thought that the only rebel army in Wu Fort was the Earth-Drawing Tigers, but I didn't expect that the Sky-shaking Banner rebels from Suide Fenghuang Ridge also arrived, and the strength of this rebel army was obviously stronger than my own. This made Wang Chenghu a little disappointed, and his hope of leading the attack on Wubao County came to nothing.
In this dilemma, the government in the city wanted to come to meet with him, which made Wang Chenghu surprised and moved.
He thought about the future destination of the rebel army, whether it would be destroyed or recruited. Of course, it might also become bigger, but there was no way of knowing who would make it to the final step.
Wang Chenghu doesn’t know who will have such luck. Whether he has it or whether he will survive until then is unknown.
But now that someone from the government is coming, Wang Chenghu seems to see a gleam of light in the darkness, maybe...
"Brother Ma, the other party is here." The sound of tapping footsteps came in, and a man with rough hair came in with excitement: "A man with a Henan accent, he looks a bit impressive."
"Henan accent?" Wang Chenghu was a little surprised, but he didn't care. Long Jinwei can be anyone, "Let him wait a moment, Third Brother, what do you think we should do?"
“What should I do?” The rough man was confused, “Brother Ma, what do you mean?”
Wang Chenghu looked at the rugged man with a confused look on his face, and finally shook his head. Did he really think he was going to recruit someone? Nothing is that simple.
Although Wang Chenghu has not read many books, he also knows that when the court recruits troops, it only recruits troops when it can no longer fight. If it wants to recruit troops, it also seeks to recruit those who are most feared by the court.
What do I have as a few people? Waving the Sky Flag is much stronger than yourself, so why not recruit the Wao Tianqi? Or is he waving the flag in the sky and unwilling to recruit people?
There are a lot of people coming towards Fort Wu, and I'm afraid there are even stronger ones. No matter how it is, they can't take the lead in the recruitment.
Wang Chenghu still has this self-awareness.
But someone from the government is here. If it is really Long Jinwei, I'm afraid it won't be a simple recruitment. If you want to recruit him, you will have to submit a certificate of surrender.
Sighed, Wang Chenghu waved his hand, "Okay, let's talk about it when we meet the person."
From the first moment Heliande saw him, he was carefully observing this man with a pockmarked face.
He is not tall, stocky and stocky. Around his waist is a thick leather belt with copper buckles, black and shiny, a pair of ocher yellow wide-crotch breeches, and a pair of riding boots under his feet that are very eye-catching. They must have been acquired not long ago.
Wang Chenghu is also observing the other party.
It is true that as Lao San said, he has extraordinary momentum and strong movements. He is a good practitioner. His hands are like aquiline hooks, powerful and powerful. He is not armed, but Wang Chenghu believes that even without weapons, three or five people may not be able to hold each other.
"But the second master Wang?" Heliande took a deep breath and asked: "I came to see the second master Wang on the order of Master Jun."
“Sir, who is it?” Wang Chenghu said calmly: “If it’s the county magistrate, that’s fine. There’s no need to say more...”
"Haha, it seems that Head Wang also knows some of the situation. It's okay to be honest and honest..." Heliande raised his eyebrows, "I won't beat around the bush. If Head Wang wants a chance to get ahead, my lord can give him a chance. If so, If Mr. Wang wants to have such wishful thinking, my Lord can also help Mr. Wang sober up."
