Chapter 2120 Smiling Man(1/2)
The night is dark.
Inside and outside Juzhang City, the only sound that could be heard was the whistling sound of the cold wind in the autumn night.
Firelight danced above the city head, reflecting the swaying figures.
The city walls were heavily guarded, and the armors of the patrolling sergeants were somewhat frosty. The soldiers who were not on duty were warming up and resting around the fire pit, but no one was in the mood to talk. I could only hear the soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall.
There was the sound of soldiers being brought out. From time to time, someone looked out into the darkness outside the city, looking nervous.
In Juzhang City, the government office hall, which was not very big, was crowded with people. The magistrates of Juzhang County, the county magistrates, the county magistrates, the county captains, the county captains, the personal guards, the attendants, and the servants all had different expressions on their faces, and they were talking incessantly.
I originally thought it was just a chaos in the salt work in the salt field, and it didn't attract much attention at first. After all, which year did the salt workers and miners not riot? And what year did the salt workers and miners end up with a good ending? Even if it is a temporary compromise.
One or two, they will all be recovered in the end.
So the military men in Juzhang City really didn’t take the salt field riot seriously at first, until they heard the news about Sun Fu...
These are two different things.
From the perspective of outsiders, the internal affairs of the Sun family are somewhat unclear.
It may be said that Sun Quan's appointment to the throne was unfair. It was Sun Ce who personally selected him, and he also had the endorsement of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others.
If we say that Sun Quan is in good shape, Sun Ce's son is getting older. Sun Quan doesn't say a word of nonsense, and he doesn't even do any superficial work...
Now that Sun Fu had raised his banner, the atmosphere in Juzhang City immediately became very heavy. All military generals took turns going to the city top day and night to inspect the defense and stabilize the morale of the army. Even the previously lazy county captains and captains no longer returned to their homes.
It's a very comfortable little nest. I will definitely walk around every hour to boost morale.
Juzhang is the east of Jiangdong. Compared with the large counties in Jiangdong, it is relatively lacking in city defense and military strength. It is only because of the protection of these salt workers and miners, as well as some South Vietnamese barbarians, that there are some permanent residents.
Soldiers. Therefore, no matter from any aspect, it seems that it cannot give these people in the hall a sufficient sense of security. Everyone is gesticulating and arguing loudly.
"Just block the city gates with sand and gravel, and then set up a lot of bows, arrows and spears on the city wall! If it doesn't work, dig out the city gate, dig out a deep ditch, and plant wooden stakes densely! Let's see how many people can use it.
Come to die?!』
"Your city gate is blocked. It's hard to get in, but it's also hard for us to get out!"
"What are you going out for? There's nothing wrong with the salt work, but this General Pingnan..."
"Why is General Pingnan returned to the general position after being exiled?"
"It didn't say there was any dismissal?"
"Can this be said openly?"
"Don't worry about that for now, let's talk about defense first, the defense in front of you!"
"..."
"I'm afraid we can't just defend the city. We are here to block this... These people are intruding on Wu Jun's westward march. If we seal the city gate first, people outside the city will know that we can't leave the city."
, that is, we can cross over safely and boldly, and then go west... In this way, even if our city is defended, when the time comes for the Lord to criticize the crime, I am afraid that a passive and lazy person will not be able to escape..."
"Then what should we do? Go out of the city to fight? Then...that's the one who captured the Jing County Marshal alive! Are you sure you can beat him?"
"But now he only has salt workers!"
"How do you know there is only a salt worker? Don't forget, he also has an older brother! If my brother is in trouble, will he just sit back and ignore it? They were all under good guard at first, but suddenly someone came out! There is nothing in here, you
Do you believe it?"
"Then what do you think we should do? If we can't defend well, we can't fight. What should we do?"
"Do you want to follow my wishes... Why don't you pretend to surrender... and then ambush some swordsmen... Hehe..."
"Are you crazy? If this is really fatal...his, it involves too much, too much, no, no..."
"I have an idea, but you can't agree with it, so what's your idea?"
"this……"
Everyone was talking and pulling things here and there, giving the Juzhang County Magistrate a huge headache.
If you want to defend it, you must rely on the strong city on the outside and the people's support on the inside. Both of them are indispensable. Many strong cities and fortresses are easily destroyed due to civil strife. Therefore, as long as there are internal worries, this battle cannot be won no matter what! But it just happens that
Sun Fu is taking the lead, which in itself is an "internal worry" for the Sun family!
Killing Sun Fu can indeed solve the current problem, but Sun Fu is Sun Ben's younger brother, and Sun Ben has a good relationship with the Sun family's relative Wu. This is very complicated. If Sun Fu died in the city, a
At the beginning, you may be rewarded by Sun Quan, but in the future, you never know when you will die under the revenge of Sun Ben, Wu Jing and others...
But on the other hand, if Sun Fu is not killed, unless a Sun family member is replaced on the seat...
Um?
This time, will it be...
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have chosen this time?
It's so important and difficult to make a decision.
Gradually, everyone's eyes focused on the face of the Juzhang County Magistrate. Since the Juzhang County Magistrate was sitting in this position, it was decided that he had to make the final decision!
"This... let me think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."
Everyone looked at each other and looked away helplessly.
More than ten miles outside Juzhang City, several clusters of torches illuminated the road ahead of Sun Fu.
Behind Sun Fu, closely following were the people who had followed Sun Fu earlier like idiots. They were focusing on Sun Fu wholeheartedly. All they needed was Sun Fu's order to hit him with flesh and blood.
I will move forward bravely.
Sun Fu can still command troops to some extent and has a lot of actual combat experience. This was originally an advantage during the period of Sun Jian and Sun Ce. After all, the Sun family was originally the foundation. If there are more people in the family who can command troops, it will naturally be
It can help scare local snakes like Jiangdong Shilin...
But he never expected that after Sun Ce's death, people like Sun Fu would immediately become the most unstable factor in Sun Quan's eyes!
The most fundamental reason is that Sun Ce was at odds with the Jiangdong nobles, and Sun Quan began to make peace with the Jiangdong nobles!
It is this change in the Sun family's external environment that makes Sun Quan no longer need too many generals to perform suppressive functions. On the other hand, it also makes these Sun family generals who control the army abroad somewhat doubt that Sun Quan is
Didn't he become a traitor to the Sun family...
So who is the betrayer?
Or is it both sides?
Sun Fu didn't know. He didn't even know what would happen in the future. He just wanted to find a place where he could reason and someone who could listen to his grievances because he had been wronged for too long. As for whether he should, or whether he could
To overthrow Sun Quan, Sun Fu really didn't think that far ahead. It was like the road in front of him. In the dark night, there was only a small section in front of him...
At the top of Juzhang City, the county captain once again climbed up the city wall to inspect.
During the inspection, it is nothing more than to see whether the duty shift is done well, whether the sergeants who come down to rest can be arranged properly, whether there are any abnormal phenomena, whether there is any possibility of making noise, etc.
As a general, commanding the soldiers, you do not simply sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, thinking that as long as the order is given, the soldiers will obey, without putting in a lot of energy and patience, just like hammering steel, paying attention bit by bit.
In the end, if you are not careful, the long sword may be beaten into an iron rake. As for Juzhang, it is obvious that whether it is the current county captain or the previous captain, they are just leading troops as an errand.
If you can deal with it, deal with it and be done with it.
Therefore, when the incident came to an end, the county and military commanders had no confidence, and the soldiers in the city were also panicked.
The sentences were not counted as typing, and half a circle was gone in the blink of an eye, and everything was considered normal.
The soldiers on duty stood at the top of the city, and the soldiers who had been replaced rested in a sheltered place around a fire pot. The streets and markets in the city were quiet, and there were no special unusual sounds.
The county captain stopped with satisfaction, looked around, and smiled a little, "Everything is going just right..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard someone exclaiming from a distance!
The smile on the county lieutenant's face froze for an instant, then collapsed, "Why are you exclaiming?!"
"Come...come, come..."
"They're coming!"
In the distance outside the city, wherever you can see, you can see some firelights dancing...
The county lieutenant was lying on the top of the city, staring hard, "Damn it, damn it, it's coming, it's really coming..."
When the situation is not really confronting, some people will always feel that they are a little lucky, and then when they see that something they should have expected finally happened, they still refuse to believe it.
Sun Fu arrived at the city, raised his head and looked at the city: "This is General Pingnan! Now the king is unruly, using weapons rashly, poisoning the people, harming the virtuous, persuading them to lose sight of the news, and insisting on going his own way! If things go on like this, Jiangdong will be ruined, all industries will be in ruins, and the people will be miserable.
, we can only work hard to save ourselves and march to admonish them! When someone does this, he does not ask for high-ranking officials and high salaries, but only for the stability of Jiangdong! God can learn from this! If you help Zhou to do evil and waste care for the people's livelihood, God will destroy you!"
"Those who are willing to join me in admonishing me can quickly open the city gate! I will definitely restrain the soldiers, and Qiu will not do anything wrong! If you are stubborn and try to block the car with your mantis arm, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Sun Fu's loud voice resounded throughout the city, causing many soldiers to whisper to each other. Those who didn't understand asked questions while those who didn't understand fully understood, but their faces were pale and they didn't know how many thoughts were in their hearts.
Circling unsteadily.
"Be on alert! Everyone is on alert!" the county captain shouted, "No one can act rashly without someone's order! Please quickly invite the county magistrate to come and make a decision..."
When he was giving orders and preparing to leave, he saw a figure suddenly shaking in a neighborhood near the city gate!
When something like this happened in Juzhang City, it was natural that there was a night curfew. However, at this moment, more than a dozen figures clearly violated the curfew order and rushed out suddenly without raising fire. The fire on the top of the city could not illuminate all their faces.
, and it is impossible to tell whether they are civilians, soldiers, or other people...
To be continued...
