Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 902: I don’t know the year in the city
Night gradually fell, and although the lights gradually turned on in the city, there were not many people on the streets. It looked very solemn and dull, and the whole city was immersed in it.

Because they knew that the city was already besieged by a large army outside, and the situation in the city was extremely dangerous. They were afraid that the city might be destroyed at any time. The worst situation would be that all these people in their city would become cannon fodder for the two sides to fight and die unexpectedly.

Since the news of Wang Jun's army came, in the past few days, countless people have tried to escape from the city, and most of them have been intercepted.

At this moment, there were several people standing in front of Wu Guangshu, the county magistrate of the city. The leader, who was about forty years old and had a mustache, was spitting bitterly and his expression was even more serious. worry.

"County Lord, if you don't come forward quickly, our city and county will be doomed. You don't know that the jails in the county are already overcrowded. In the past few days, whenever someone escapes and is caught by patrolling soldiers, he will go to There is so much stuff in the cell. We are a small county. How big can this cell be? How can it accommodate so many people? Moreover, when there are so many people, people from the county government office and those who eat, drink, and defecate will be pulled in. This It’s not enough, as we are talking, someone must have been sent over again!”

Wu Guangshu pinched his forehead and tried to open his eyes to dispel the sleepiness in his mind. He had not closed his eyes for two days in a row. Ever since he learned the news of the incoming army, his whole body felt like a taut string. Thinking of taking control of the situation.

It's just that the affairs inside and outside the city were directly transferred to Chen Zi, Zhang Kang, Yang Song and others by the general's government order. Even he, the county magistrate, couldn't intervene, and instead was appeased in the government office.

The few people in front of him are all officials in the county government, and they are responsible for the affairs of the Six Caos. It was monopolized and controlled by the big family and clan, even close to hereditary. Laozi resigned, and his son gradually took over after being recommended by his colleagues. When his position was stabilized, he helped each other. Therefore, these servants are actually very powerful in the county. Big, usually when they say it, even Wu Guangshu has to weigh it.

Now listening to the words of the man in front of me, and listening to the meaning behind his words, it is clear that he is encouraging himself and the people sent by the General's Palace to start a fight to protect the interests of these people.

But the problem is, even the great families in Dai County are submissive under Chen Zhi's control, let alone their clans?

So is Chen Zhi a good talker?The aristocratic clans had been invaded before. To outsiders, this seemed to be a fuss over a molehill, arrogant and unreasonable. Originally, there was a more clever way.

But Wu Guangshu understood very well that those actions were not that Chen Zhi was reckless, but rather a warning. What aristocratic families and clans are not afraid of the most is your use of power and tactics, let alone your reasoning. Even if you lose in reasoning and give in, you will still be there. In a circle, the most fearful thing is that you are unreasonable, and then the aristocratic family will be really scrupulous and restrain themselves.

Now it seems that all of Chen Zhi's actions have paid off. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Wang Jun's troops to arrive this time due to the war. I am afraid that the nobles of this generation of the county would have already tied up Chen Zhi and sent him away in a package. It's past.

And besides that, it's the military strength. Let's not talk about Dai County, let's talk about Dangcheng County. Yang Song leads a group of soldiers and horses to control here. Wu Guangshu's title of county magistrate can't change anything.

So he waited until the people opposite him had finished talking, and then he said: "All kinds of things during war are inevitable. Colonel Yang made it very clear. They are all expedient measures."

"The county lord's words are wrong," the person on the opposite side became noisy again, "this is obviously taking advantage of the opportunity of a big war to seize power, and Captain Yang has gone too far recently, not only arresting people, but also using it as an excuse to search I waited for the shop in my family, and even sent me and several colleagues to prison directly. , Our city is going to be in chaos, it’s in chaos!”

These words are actually the real reason why you came here.

Wu Guangshu sneered in his heart. Although he and these people respected each other and had a tacit understanding of each other due to their origins, as a county magistrate, he had to discuss with these people what he wanted to do, otherwise they would not tell them. To object is to use some hands and feet during execution, which means that something will not be done successfully. It may involve reputation, which means that Wu Guangshu will not be able to sit still.As a result, when this group of people encountered someone who was unreasonable, they immediately lost their ability. Instead, they wanted to come over and let him stand out. Wu Guangshu certainly had some considerations.

He knows very well that war is always a time to take back power. Those soldiers and horses guarding the city not only prevent the local clans from rebelling, but also maintain the basic order. They can also make things that are taboo in daily life fair and clear. It's made, and it's famous.

Chen Zhi has already done this in Dai County. In the past six months, he has used Dai County as a template and gradually implemented it throughout Dai County. Now Yang Song is leading the troops and relying on the war situation, he is just doing this. It's just more intense.

It's just that this group of people is not much better. Those shops were hoarding rare goods during the war, hoping to make a fortune. They were caught making a fuss about it, and it was their own fault. Wu Guangshu didn't have to take part in this matter, and he was involved for nothing. After all, he had made up his mind to stand by Chen Zhi in the first place. For more than half a year, he had been enjoying the benefits of siding with Chen Zhi. He was much better off than the magistrates of several other counties. How could he ruin his future?

So, in the face of the persistence of several people, Wu Guangshu smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, I say this sounds nice now because I am being protected in the county government, but in fact it is impossible to get out. You are asking me to come forward." , then you really have the wrong person.”

Then he rambled on and on, talking about some scenes, and the core idea was just two words——

Don't do it!

At the end of these words, the leader on the opposite side saw that the explanation did not make sense, so he said: "County Lord, we are here to find you for your own good. If you submit to Yang Song, you will feel comfortable for a while, but you can wait for the war." Afterwards, the general investigated, what if someone talks about the relationship between the county prince and Yang Song?"

"Oh?" Wu Guangshu narrowed his eyes, "What? From what you said, it means that the winner has already been determined. Didn't you just say that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose..."

"That's just to save some face for Yang Song and the person behind him," the leader said simply, "In the current situation, the army is besieging the city, and the people in the city are unable to fly. I heard that there are 5 people who came to besiege the city this time. Thousands of people!”

He stretched out five fingers and flashed them in front of Wu Guangshu.

"5 people! The total number of Wuding and soldiers in Dai County is less than half of the 5 people. Isn't it true that whoever fails will fail? Why should the county lord ask knowingly?"

"You said it's hard for people in the city to fly, so how can they still know the number of soldiers and horses?" Wu Guangshu's eyes flashed with a ray of light, "Now the news from outside the city is difficult to get in. What is the situation on the battlefield? Even the officials don’t know, Liu Jun, where did you learn about it, is it possible that you already have contact with the Youzhou Army?”
