please make me king

Chapter 1235 Take the lead
It is said that Huozhou City was besieged by the rebels, Wang Shunzheng, the prefect of Pingyang, and Wei Quanzhong, the prefect of Huozhou, couldn't help climbing up the tower of Gongji Gate.

Gongji is a commonly used name for the north gate of ancient cities, meaning Gongchen.

The "Analects of Confucius·Weizheng": "Government with virtue, such as Beichen, lives in its place, and all the stars (grow) together."

Later, it was used as a metaphor to defend the king or the belonging of the four descendants, so it got its name.

Regardless of their abilities, Wang Shunzheng and Wei Quanzhong also have the ambition to be the best.

When the two of them boarded the tower and looked out, they saw three or five hundred riders outside the city, each holding a flag, divided into ten teams.

In addition to the soldiers and one horse, there are still more than a hundred horses left in the back of the formation.

"How?" Wei Quanzhong asked Wang Shunzheng, the magistrate of Pingyang, first.

"Maybe to help the officers and soldiers!" Wang Shunzheng pondered for a moment, and could not help but answer uncertainly.

"The thief's horse is fat, and the officers and soldiers' horse is thin. Looking at it now, it seems that it is not a thief's style."

Wei Quanzhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't laugh or cry.

Do you know why?

It turned out that before joining Zhang Shun's command, the rebel army fought all year round and was in danger of being defeated.

Therefore, they all raised their mounts to be fat and strong, so that they could ride and escape for their lives.

But officers and soldiers are different. These officers can still drink "soldier blood", but how can they not drink "horse blood"?This is the difference between fat and thin.

Not to mention what Wang Shunzheng thought, Wei Quanzhong couldn't help but climbed up the tower and shouted loudly: "I am the magistrate of Huozhou, what's the reason for hearing that you are making trouble?"

"My lord is joking, how dare I wait for the bandits to join the army?" The officer under the city laughed.

"It's just that I came all the way here, and this door not only shuts us out, but also makes us spend the night outside. What's the reason?"

Wei Quanzhong was a little displeased when he heard the words, and reprimanded him: "I asked you to stay outside the city because I was afraid that you would disturb the people and commit a damnable crime. How can it be called shutting out?"

"If your lord says that, we have nothing to say." The man didn't dare to take his anger out on him when he heard the words, so he could only apologize with a smile.

"If there were no thieves in Huozhou, we wouldn't need to enter the city. Since Huozhou city is precious, I'll return it later."

What a retreat to advance, immediately made Wei Quanzhong's face ugly, the color was like a pig's liver.

Sooner or later, I will join this group of arrogant soldiers!
Wei Quanzhong secretly felt ruthless in his heart, but said with a smile on his face, "It's easy for you to enter the city."

"A gang of thieves just came to the north of the city. If you can win for a while, I will lead the people in the city, beat gongs and drums, invite you to enter the city, and then entertain you with good wine and food. I don't know what you want?"

"My lord!" The officer under the city couldn't help but questioned with a sullen expression on his face, "I'll wait for a day of rapid travel, and the men and horses are exhausted, how can I fight?"

"Since my lord thinks that the brothers are useless, please also ask for a paperwork, and let's leave now."

Then why is Wei Quanzhong willing to give him the document?There was a verbal battle between the two sides, and the officer under the city was actually annoyed, so he flattered his horse and left.

Only then did Wei Quanzhong realize that they had been wronged, so he hurried down to the city, picked some fast horses, and chased them himself.

He stepped forward to apologize and said: "I was really scared by the thieves' swindling the city, so I tried my ears just now."

"The city of Huozhou is in danger now, please ask the general to save us."

"Are you able to enter the city this time?" the officer asked sideways.

"Yes, I can." Wei Quanzhong replied without hesitation.

"This time, you don't need to fight the bandits first, and then enter the city?" the officer continued.

"No need, no need, it's just a trial!" Wei Quanzhong quickly apologized with a smile.

"Okay, for the sake of your lord's sake, let's go through this again!" The officer was obviously still angry, but he couldn't afford to offend the Zhizhou, so he had to swallow his anger and admit the matter.

Not long after, all the cavalry returned to Huozhou City with Wei Quanzhong, while responding to his questions one by one.

"I heard the general's accent is from Henan. I don't know where in Henan?"

"It was originally from Song County, but it was only because there were thieves in its hometown, so it was stranded in Beijing camp."

"Who is the coach who came to support this time?"

"The general is Dong Yongwen, the third son of the famous general Dong Yiyuan!"

Between the two asking and answering, they had already rushed to the gate of Gongji.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the arch gate was opened wide.

Wei Quanzhong quickly took the opportunity to glance at the general, but he didn't see any expression on his face, so he put his heart in his stomach.

Then everyone entered the Gongji Gate, passed through Wengcheng, and walked through the North Street before arriving at the state government office.

The three of them sat down and served tea, Wei Quanzhong said with a smile: "Let me introduce, the chief seat is Wang Zhifu, the prefect of Pingyang, and Wei Quanzhong, the prefect of Huozhou."

"I don't know what the general is called? What is his position? How do you plan to destroy the thief?"

"My surname is Wei, but it is of the same clan as Zhizhou, and they are called Zhiyou." Unexpectedly, the man laughed, "In my opinion, we can only tie up the two five-flowered men and send them to the rebels outside the city. Naturally, the fighting will be calmed down!"

"General Wei, are you kidding me!" Wei Quanzhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said that he was sulking at the two of them, and couldn't help explaining.

"This is a business, you can't..."

"Which one is joking with you!" Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiyou pulled out his waist knife, chopped it on the table suddenly, and shouted loudly.

"Come on, tie them up for me!"

Before Wei Zhiyou finished speaking, three or five big men rushed in, brutally pressed Wang Shunzheng, Wei Quanzhong and others three times, five times, five times, two times, and tied them tightly.

"What the hell is going on here!" Wei Quanzhong couldn't believe his eyes.

"Wei Zhizhou is really good at tricks, but it's a pity that no matter how cunning he is, he can't be as cunning as this general!" Wei Zhiyou laughed loudly.

"Do you think I don't know that you first used the aggressive method to observe my reality, and then ambushed soldiers in Wengcheng to lure me to do it?"

"Since I can enter the city, why rush for a while?"

"This is really a trick, but it fell into my hands!"

"Admiration, admiration!" Wei Quanzhong heard that he didn't know that he had fallen into the thief's plan to defraud the city.

He couldn't help but say with a straight heart: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, just don't hurt the good people in my city..."

At this time, Wang Shunzheng's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.

Then Wei Zhiyou laughed and said, "What are your good people? Those are the good people of King Shun!"

"You are showing off your power in the city, bullying men and women, right? Why didn't you think of your good people?"

"But killing this general will not kill you, and this general will not kill the people in vain."

"Give me a good look at how Ben is going to destroy that general's son Dong Yongwen!"

It turns out that the information about the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers was disclosed to Zhang Shun by Tang Yao, commander of the Pingyang Guard, and Zhang Shun had already informed Wei Zhiyou by letter.

That's why Wei Zhiyou knew that the officers and soldiers were false and true, and that's why they pretended to be officers and soldiers to aid the troops and cheat the city.

It's just that neither Zhang Shun nor Wei Zhiyou knew that the reason why Dong Yongwen, the left general of the Shenshu Battalion, marched so slowly and gave Wei Zhiyou a step ahead, was because the cavalry under his command were uneven and the horses were weak, so they moved slowly and missed the military opportunity.
