Chapter 855 If the descendants of Guan Yunchang and the direct descendants of the founder of the country all turned to the enemy...

"Who?"

"Those who cast swallows!"

"Enter!"

The door opened a crack, and seven or eight figures flashed in vigorously, all of them were burly men, with the rough feeling of blowing yellow sand from the northwest on their faces.

Ding Run and Shi Qian looked at them: "How many generals have you considered?"

A big man in the head said in a deep voice: "Being able to come here means that you have settled down. There is one more thing here. After you read it, you are not afraid that we will repeat it!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, and slapped it on the table: "Everything that scolds the court is written here. There are not many people who can read, and the rest are fingerprinted!"

Ding Run picked it up and took a look. The cultural level was indeed simple, but the words were full of strong emotions, which made them nod repeatedly: "It is worthy of being an elite and powerful army, and it is indeed not comparable to other forbidden troops!"

The big man in the head sneered when he heard this: "We guarded the northwest and worked our lives up and down. It was fine if we were treated as thieves and joined the army. Now the two old generals have been sent to Beijing and scolded by the people. I can’t go on, are you still an elite fart?”

The other generals also said angrily: "It's the other way around!"

Ding Run laughed and said, "That's exactly what it should be!"

The leading man continued: "Then Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo squeezed the two old generals away because of their famous backgrounds. We want to avenge them. This is the condition we agreed before. You two must not lose your word!"

Shi Qian knew that this was actually unreasonable, because Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao were both born generals, and Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo could not be excluded based on their family backgrounds, but these middle and lower-level generals believed in death. Explained to them, and responded: "Don't worry, everyone, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo will be taken down. Our commander has more words, and we can order them to surrender, so that the faint king can taste the feeling of betrayal!"

The generals of the Western Army did not dare to believe it: "They have won the emperor's trust and come from a famous family, so they won't give in..."

Ding Run said with a smile: "When you see someone, you will know that nothing is impossible!"

After the words fell, a man came out from the back of the hall, with a burly figure and a striking blue mark on his face.

The general of the Western Army was very vigilant at first, but looking at this face, he suddenly thought of a person: "But after the third generation of generals, the grandson of the fifth prince Yang Linggong, Commander Yang of the descendants of the Yang family?"

The visitor smiled wryly and said: "Ashamed, it is Yang Zhi who is here, but he is no longer a commander!"

Ding Rundao: "This General Yang is guarding Yingtian Mansion. Originally, he was like Tao Miao, the prefect of Zhending Mansion. He wanted to resist stubbornly, but when the confidential information said, he was also dissatisfied with the imperial court, and even admired 'Zuo'. I will personally enter the mansion and talk to him."

Yang Zhi went on to say: "Before, I was able to defend Yingtian Mansion because of 'Zuo Ming', but I had a clear conscience and wanted to report the truth, but I didn't expect that the magistrate fled when Zhang Xian invaded, and came back quickly after finding that the city was safe. , I couldn’t wait to ask for credit on the ground, and in order to avoid being exposed by me, I divided half of the credit for defending the city on me, only saying that I killed the enemy with all my might, without even mentioning the appearance of 'Zuo Ming'..."

All the generals of the Western Army have a deep understanding.

In fact, the civil officials of Zhao Song can’t talk about suppressing military generals, because the gap between the two can only be called suppression. If the status is very different, they will almost do whatever they want. It is impossible to think about not wanting to deserve the military merits.

This also became the last straw that crushed Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi sighed deeply: "This kind of incident will cause endless troubles and will ruin the reputation of my ancestors. Since these literati and bureaucrats don't think about us warriors at all, then I don't worry about it anymore. , directly cut down the dog officer, opened the city gate, so that the soldiers of the two armies would not have to die in a bloody battle!"

Ding Rundao: "On the one hand, he killed his mother and made the emperor foolish, and on the other hand, he was the head coach who restored Yanyun and forced the Liao people to sign the alliance under the city. Who is the fate, everyone has a choice. Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo should also wake up and abandon the dark and turn to the bright ..."

The generals of the Western Army looked at each other in dismay: "But if those two are foolish and loyal people, what if they would rather follow their mothers and fool the king than do that?"

Shi Qian said with a smile: "Counselor Wu of our army had already prepared the means when he came, and they couldn't do it even if they wanted to be foolish and loyal to the end!"

He looked at a surrendered general: "General Fang's job is to guard the granary, right?"

The man nodded, and Shi Qian immediately explained the plan.

"It's a good idea, this Counselor Wu is so lucky!"

All the generals of the Western Army were amazed: "If the descendants of Guan Yunchang and the descendants of the famous founding general all vote here, who else can the court trust? I really look forward to it!"

……

"The thief broke into the granary and set fire to it?"

Hearing the news that the guards rushed in to report the news, Guan Sheng, who had already fallen asleep, changed his complexion drastically. He didn't even have time to put on his armor, and he didn't care about the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, so he ran out of the house in big strides, got on his horse and said, "Drive!"

For the Western Army who is currently sticking to the city, the most important thing is nothing else, it is the grain and grass stored in Bianliang. If the grain and grass are gone, the township army has camped in all directions outside, surrounding the city, and the reinforcements cannot rush in. Then they are finished.

Naturally, such important military supplies would not be stored in one place, but the one that caught fire this time was the granary with the most food reserves, so there was absolutely no room for loss!
But before reaching the place, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, causing Guan Sheng's heart to sink deeply.

Is it too late?
Sure enough, when he arrived, he found that the elite soldiers guarding the granary didn't even try to rescue them. They all stood outside in a daze, watching the flames licking every corner of the granary, burning everything inside. Be clean.

Guan Sheng was so angry that his face was livid, he pointed his finger, and shouted angrily: "Fang Hou! Let him come out! Get out!!"

After roaring for a while, a sweaty general led his team and rushed over: "General Guan!"

Guan Sheng pointed at the burning granary and gritted his teeth: "Fang Hou! You are also a veteran of the Western Army. The granary is the most important thing. Thousands of elite soldiers are guarding it. There are also military patrols and fire extinguishers. How can you be attacked by thieves? succeed?"

General Fang sighed and said: "The bad thing is that the bad thing happened in those bunkers. The fire was not big at first. To be cautious, the last general went to call the army to patrol the shop to put it out. Unexpectedly, the thief had expected it. He just pretended to be these firefighters. It was to fight the fire, but in fact, a strange wind rose up, making the fire out of control!"

Guan Sheng's heart trembled when he heard this: "It's so insidious, then have you caught the thief?"

General Fang clasped his fists and said, "The last general just turned around and chased after them, but the group of thieves fled quickly. They all seemed to have the means to fly through the clouds, but one of them failed to catch..."

Guan Sheng frowned: "Why does this look like the Fengmo Dao soldiers under the command of Zhang Xian, the double-eyed Taoist? Could it be that this group of Dao soldiers were also recruited by the township army?"

General Fang half knelt down, cupped his fists and said: "The last general is incompetent, he lost his granary, and he is willing to accept punishment!"

Guan Sheng sighed in disbelief: "If it's really that Fengmo Taoist soldier, who didn't know how to enter the city, and used such tricks, it is indeed impossible to guard against, but you will inevitably be guilty, and you will have your own military punishment!"

Two personal guards stepped forward to take the man, General Fang stood up slowly, but did not move, he just dropped a sentence before taking him down: "If this biggest granary is lost, our army will definitely be short of food. If you want to keep Bianliang, the general has to accept it from the people!"

Guan Sheng's tiger's body shook, and he stood motionless on the spot.

And soon the sound of horseshoes came from the rear, and Hu Yanzhuo, who got the news, arrived, saw the fire in the granary, and his face changed drastically: "Brother Guan, what should I do?"

Guan Sheng blurted out: "You must never take food from the people!"

Then seeing him, he showed embarrassment again.

Hu Yanzhuo was startled for a moment, then realized something, and said in a low voice: "What brother Guan said is true, let's think of other ways!"

Guan Sheng took a deep breath, the heat wave in the air rushed into his nostrils, but he couldn't stop the coldness in his heart: "I'm afraid there is no way, even if we don't want to, other people will do the same!"

Facts have proved that what he said was right. Under such a commotion, the generals of the Western Army arrived one after another before half an hour.

The generals sent by the imperial court, such as Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo, as well as some middle and low-level generals of the Western Army, first scolded the thieves, and then someone said: "We must collect food from the people, so Set your mind!"

This proposal was immediately agreed: "Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and there must be no loss. After dawn, they will be collected immediately!"

"Bianliang originally had a population of one million. Since the official family moved the capital, a large number of rich and powerful fled abroad, but it has rebounded recently. There must be five or six hundred thousand people. How difficult is it to supply an army of [-] people?"

"But these people are against us. It is impossible to voluntarily donate food to defend the city. The so-called expropriation is robbing..."

"So what? Our Western Army is defending the city for them!"

Guan Sheng didn't know when he left, but he just wanted to stay as far away from those voices as possible.

He returned to his temporary mansion in a trance, walked into the room, waved away the guards, and didn't feel sleepy, just sat at the table and meditated.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "There is a saying among the people that bandits are like a comb, and soldiers are like a grate (bì). Brother Guan also wants to do such a thing? Then I ask you to stick to Bianliang. For what?"

Guan Sheng's complexion changed, he was about to get the weapon, and then he realized that the voice was very familiar, it was the companion who once fought side by side with the big rebel "Zuo Ming" who occupied the imperial city, but he was also a traitor who killed officials and rebelled: " Commander Yang...Yang Zhi? Are you here to assassinate me?"

Yang Zhi came out from the darkness and came to the front, holding the redeemed family heirloom sword in both hands: "On the contrary, I came here to give Brother Guan a chance to make meritorious service to the court, and I used this sword to kill my brother." The head of a rebel from the Yang family will not be worthy of the name of the descendants of Guan Yunchang, who is generous, caring for the people, and generous to the sky!"
