Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 903: Catch him directly!

"This group of people is no longer trustworthy." After some negotiations, there was still no result. When the people left, Wu Guangshu shook his head, and then called his confidant, "Go and inform Yang Xiaowei. Tell him to pay close attention to these people, and it is best to send someone to monitor them closely."

When the confidant heard this, he was a little puzzled and couldn't help but said: "After all, these people are your subordinates. Is it inappropriate to inform General Yang like this? Besides, there is a large army gathering outside the city. Why doesn't the Lord keep him?" A way out? If those people really have contact with the Youzhou Army, then if the worst happens, it will be a turning point."

Wu Guangshu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's good to be able to hedge your bets, but I actually took the initiative to defect at the beginning. Recently, I have benefited from the opportunity of Daijun's construction. Those relatives in my family are now following me." The Tang family has made a lot of money by doing business. These things are difficult to escape. There is no benefit in going to Youzhou. On the contrary, even if Youzhou wins, I will still be a court official and a county magistrate. Wang Quan also won If you try to win over him, you won't be in danger of your life. At most, you will be expelled from Youzhou and become a minor official somewhere else."

"The Lord has seen it clearly. The young man will go and report it now." Seeing that his master knew what was going on, the man stopped trying to persuade him and went to report it instead.

However, although it was said to be a notification, it actually did not go far beyond the Yamen. Wu Guangshu was restricted in his scope of action. Naturally, this confidant was being followed, but he still had some autonomy. He walked out for a while before being found. This shows that As soon as he knew what he wanted to do, he was led to the city wall.

At this time, Yang Song was supervising the army on the city wall.

However, in a house two streets away from here, a group of officials who had just left the county government gathered here to discuss their immediate superior, the county magistrate Wu Guangshu.

"This Wu Guangshu is determined to stand by Chen Zhi's side."

"He is also confident. After all, he is the county magistrate and has an official position. Even if the city is breached, the ones who attack will be Han soldiers and horses, not barbarians, and will not hurt other people's lives. We will not be so lucky. Once the city is captured Broken, being searched is a minor thing, the most serious situation is the confiscation of family property!"

"Even now, we are not optimistic. Yang Song is running rampant and plundering everywhere, which has threatened our foundation. This person obviously wants to follow Chen Zhi's example and treat us as the Zheng family and Liu family in the city. He must directly eradicate them. !”

"The Zheng family and the Liu family are both big families in Daijun, and they are well-established people. Although we have a large number of people and are a clan, we are still inferior to these two families. However, if the many families in our city unite, But it’s not bad, enough to turn the situation around!”

"Not bad!" At the end, Cao, the thief surnamed Liu who had previously led the conversation with Wu Guangshu, waved his hand and said with great momentum: "We don't need to worry. Whether we can hold the city now depends on us. If we wait Gathering together, Yang Song has soldiers, so what? You may have heard the news faintly, but he actually doesn’t have many soldiers and horses, maybe only a little over two thousand! "

Some people couldn't help but said: "I heard that the number of Wuding in Dai County has expanded to more than 1. Why are there so few people staying in our city? Do you think we don't value this place? This is the gateway to Dai County, so we don't value it?"

"This is not something we can know. The general who conquered the north is still knowledgeable about soldiers." Liu Tie Cao did not dare to belittle Chen Zhi. After all, Chen Zhi's current reputation is partly based on his military exploits. " But this is also an opportunity. Maybe we can take this opportunity to talk to the captain. If he can allow it, we can cooperate in defending the city. If not, just looking at the army outside the city, it is probably unstoppable."

Someone immediately sneered: "Liu Jun, what you said is still too conservative. In my opinion, General Wang will win sooner or later. Think about it, there are forces with deeper foundations than General Wang in Youzhou." ? It’s not like you haven’t heard about today’s defense of the city. Perhaps it’s because of the lack of troops. It can be said to be quite difficult. If it weren’t for a few single-shot cannons and just rolling stones and logs, they would have been exhausted long ago. I Look, the broken city is only a few days away, we have to choose well..."

boom!
They were still talking here, when suddenly there was a roar outside, followed by shouts of killing!

"what happened?"

The people in the room were talking secretly and were worried that the content would be leaked. When they heard the noise, they immediately became excited like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and rushed out to understand the situation.

As soon as I left here, several relatives from home stumbled over, and they saw that they were here to report the news.

"What's wrong?" Liu Tie Cao asked immediately, but after everyone was shocked, they all guessed the reason.

"The city is under siege! The city was under siege over there overnight, and for some reason, it seemed that the army outside the city also had that single-shot cannon. It fired a fireball and hit the city wall, making a lot of noise. Now there is already a fireball on the east side of the city. There was chaos, and some people said that the city gate had been opened and the enemy troops were attacking!"

"what!"

This news surprised everyone even more than the previous noise, and everyone was almost speechless.

Liu Thief Cao was the first to come to his senses, grabbed the man's lapel, and asked word for word: "Has the city gate been breached? How credible is this?"

"It should be true," he should have said it out loud, which immediately made Liu Cao across from him glare at him, and then he said with aggrievedness: "Uncle, you also know how strict the military discipline of the military discipline of that generation county was. , there is no news at all, how can I confirm it, but when I came over, there was the sound of hacking and killing in the street not far away, I guess someone must have entered the city."

"The place where we live is close to the east gate. You can hear the noise on the street. Maybe someone really broke down the city gate!" Liu Tie Cao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and turned to everyone: " Everyone, it’s time to make a decision!”

The others were not surprised either, they all responded solemnly, obviously there was a consensus!

Liu Tie Cao looked at it and grinned, showing his white teeth: "Okay, in fact, we all understand that Youzhou City's victory is only a matter of time. Although this matter is risky, relying on the previous agreement, at least it will not It will endanger your life, and you can get back all the store money, goods and food that were forcibly confiscated afterwards! But before that, there is still something to do!"

"what's up?"

"Just to protect the county magistrate," Liu Tie Cao sneered, "Although Wu Guangshu is unjust, we must not be unkind. He is under house arrest in the county government, and we should save him from danger!"

"I see, bringing the county magistrate with you does have many benefits!"

After just a few words, everyone had reached an agreement, and without stopping, they rushed towards the county government office under the cover of night, accompanied by the sound of slashing and killing. However, before they had even taken a few steps, they were suddenly stopped by a group of soldiers. The leader He was tall and tall, and he started to smile ferociously when he saw everyone.

"It turns out that you are hiding here, and you have hidden men and weapons in your house to plot evil. All the accomplices and subordinates have been captured, and the only thing missing is the mastermind!"

These words made Liu Tie Cao and others stunned, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in their minds.

"No! The sound of hacking that my nephew heard was probably the sound of these people going to arrest my cronies!"

After realizing this, he was unwilling to accept it and roared angrily: "The enemy is here, and you still want to arrest us. If you mess up your position, you will definitely lose! I will wait for the day when the city is broken, and then I will see your face!"
