Chapter 637 Crisis in Lu City
The Lucheng County Mansion is now in a sea of ​​joy, and the Mayor of Lucheng will welcome the Lucheng nobles who have spontaneously gathered in the county mansion to host a banquet in the mansion.

Dai Ling won a great victory at Xufu Pavilion, and his future is boundless. If they don't make friends at this time, how long will they wait? Some secretly regret that they didn't join Dai Ling in time because of the dispute between Cheng He and Dai Ling. They knew they were on Dai Ling's side. , I can get some credit for myself, can't I?

"My lord, there are thieves outside the city who have killed them and closed the city gate immediately, and organize young men to defend the city. In addition, we need to send people to ask for help from the prefect."

As soon as Cheng He entered Lucheng County's mansion, he found Mayor Lu, ignored the joy of silk and bamboo in the lobby, went straight to Mayor Lu and said so.

"Close the city gate? Organize the young and strong? Defend the city? Ask for help?"

Mayor Lu looked confused, and then said: "Xiancheng, what are you kidding? Don't you know that Dai Xianwei and Yu Xufuting smashed the bandits and woke up before the county magistrate? How can you say such nonsense? The bandits and bandits in Xufu Mountain are all wiped out, how can there be bandits outside the city?"

Mayor Lu slandered: Infighting also has to pick its own time, doesn't it?It's one thing if you don't support someone who has done meritorious service, but it's not good to frame someone for the sake of tearing down the stage!
It's thanks to you becoming the magistrate of the county, so if someone else was to be replaced, he would be sent directly to prison, sent to Jinyang, and handed over to the governor.

"Emissary? I don't deny the merits of Lieutenant Dong, but there is indeed a bandit army outside the city. When I came, the bandit army was burning wheat fields and killing people."

Cheng He said bitterly.

It was a great victory just a second ago, but now you tell that a certain bandit army has killed outside the city, how can City Chief Lu believe it?

But Cheng He looked so swearing, City Mayor Lu believed that Cheng He was not profitable, so stupid that he repeatedly said that there were bandit troops outside the city, casting a shadow over Dai Ling's victory.

In his impression, Cheng He is a stable person, although he is fighting for power with Dai Ling very fiercely, but he is not enough to attack Dai Ling.

Mayor Lu frowned and said, "Could it be that the bandit army defeated by Captain Dai made a rebellion, or why would they burn the wheat fields? You must know that the bandits are always short of food."

Cheng He was also puzzled, but since Dai Ling already believed that there were bandits outside the city, Cheng He could only continue to fight while the iron was hot: "Whether it's a rout or not, closing the city gate is never a big mistake..."

Even though Cheng He has great power, without the seal of the county magistrate of Lucheng, he can't mobilize a single soldier, and without the seal of the county magistrate, he can't organize the young and strong to defend the city, unless they rebel?

Cheng He was trying his best to persuade Dai Ling, when a leader of the gentry on the left next to him came with a wine bottle, and was about to offer a toast to Cheng He, but suddenly he heard that Cheng He was about to close the city gate, and immediately laughed several times.

Not all the blind people in the hall, Cheng Heji came in a hurry as the second person in Lucheng, whispered a few words next to the mayor of Lucheng, then the mayor of Lucheng's expression remained unchanged, this situation could be seen clearly, but Dai Ling was in Xuzhou. The great victory at Fushan caused a lot of restlessness to Cheng He's family, and Cheng He organized a large number of people to harvest corn and wheat outside, and their elders began to flatter Dai Ling's family.

This old man is the leader of Dai Ling's family, and he has a daughter who is Dai Ling's concubine, so he laughed a lot when he heard Cheng He slander Dai Ling.

After attracting the attention of everyone in the hall, he shouted: "Stop the wind music."

Seeing that the band had retreated, the old man said loudly before the mayor of Lucheng could speak: "Everyone, you would never have imagined that our Chengxian magistrate, a good official respected by the people of Lucheng, would say that there are bandit troops outside Lucheng, hum! Do you think it's ridiculous? Huh? Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Dai Ling's family all echoed and laughed: "Cheng County Prime Minister who snatched the harvest of millet and wheat all fell into hysteria, so we have to let Lucheng suffer another military disaster?"

Cheng He's family all kept their tails between their legs and refused to speak, only Cheng He remained silent amidst the ridicule of the crowd.

The old man took an inch and said: "Chengxian Chancellor, I see that you don't need to grab the corn and wheat anymore. Why don't you organize people to send new grain to Dai Xianwei? In this case, Dai Xianwei may be generous and give your name." Enter the credit book."

"Not bad."

"Extremely."

"..."

Cheng He was caught in a sea of ​​sarcasm. In fact, he had thought about the current scene a long time ago, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people.

Yesterday, he was a political star in Lucheng and even Yanmen County, but today he is said to be a flattering villain, which is really ridiculous.

Cheng He sneered and was about to say something.

Suddenly City Mayor Lu ran into the lobby in embarrassment, and said with a livid face: "Uncle, Uncle, it's bad, it's bad, a large bandit army appeared outside the city, and the corn and wheat in the east city were on fire, and the bandit army wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the city ah?"

City Chief Lu Congzi's words were like a bolt from the blue in the hall. Dai Ling's cheap father-in-law's smug smile froze on his face. The exaggerated smile was mercilessly mocking his ignorance. Department looked up.

"Emissary, hurry up and order! Otherwise, once the bandit army takes advantage of the chaos and invades the city, the consequences will be disastrous."

Cheng He didn't take the opportunity to mock Dai Ling's family, but calmly suggested to Mayor Lu.

The father-in-law Dai Ling came back to his senses, looked at Mayor Lu's congzi with a stern look on his face, and said, "Your words are deceiving, right? You and Cheng He have colluded together for a long time, right?"

Mayor Lu's concubine shook off Dai Ling's cheap father-in-law, and said, "I don't know how to go out and see!"

Dai Ling's cheap old father-in-law rushed out of the hall in a hurry, and the people of his line followed. Sure enough, black smoke rose from the east of the city, and there was a commotion in the city, and Dai Ling's cheap old father-in-law collapsed to the ground. Whether it was a trick or a false report of military exploits, Dai Ling's future is over now.

"Fire, is there really fire in the east of the city? Could it be that Dai Ling is falsely reporting his military exploits?"

The person who said this was Cheng He's faction, and some middle-of-the-road factions whispered: "Maybe it is also possible to be in the middle?"

But the man only said half a sentence and swallowed it back.

Just before Cheng He came, he had a clear memory of Dai Ling's family attacking Cheng He so arrogantly. Now that Cheng He's family has suddenly turned around, Dai Ling's family may be doomed again. He doesn't want to be recognized as Dai Ling's family.

Dai Ling's cheap father-in-law was ashamed, he knew that there were only a few hundred bandits in Xufu Mountain, and even if they came to attack Lucheng, they would only plunder.

Cheng He came out with the seal letter from Mayor Lu, glanced at his own vassals who were arrogant, and said coldly: "Everyone, the bandit army outside the city is probably not the Xufu Mountain bandits, or they may be from Xianbei, or from Youzhou. The army is broken, so you should help a certain organization to defend Lucheng well, and when the bandits retreat, a certain one will report the meritorious service to the prefect's mansion one by one."

Cheng He's words were like a slap in the face of Dai Ling's cheap father-in-law. Just now, Dai Ling's cheap father-in-law said that Cheng He should kneel and lick Dai Ling, and that Dai Ling might share in the military exploits.Now, as long as everyone contributes to defend the city, Cheng He will have military exploits, and the stars are much more generous than Dai Ling.

The suffocation in Cheng He's heart dissipated immediately, and he said loudly: "I am willing to listen to the county magistrate."

Dai Ling's group also said to the middle school: "I would like to listen to the county magistrate's orders."

Dai Ling is about to, no, has already lost power, why not kneel and lick, how can he hang around in this city?
They didn't care about the Xianbei cavalry that Cheng He said, or the rout of Youzhou soldiers. The crisis had to be serious. How did they kill Dai Ling? How did they show their contribution?
