Although the second general of the Tong family is not very capable, but because he grew up with his father in the barracks since he was young, he is very good at leading and controlling the troops and restraining the troops.After the little eunuch left, the two immediately summoned the rest of the generals and said fiercely:

"The commander-in-chief first went to see the emperor. Before leaving, he left a seal of the commander-in-chief here, and entrusted the two of us to act as the marshal temporarily. You probably don't know what kind of person the commander-in-chief is. He is the adopted son of the empress dowager and the current emperor. To be called a brother, he was given the title of prince before leaving the mountain. Now I have to take a step ahead and order the two of us to act cheaply before we go. If there are those who do not follow the law, what do you think and teach?"

All the generals saw that the seals of the soldiers were complete, and both of them were brothers of the Empress Dowager, who dared to have doubts, so they all went forward and said:

"I am willing to listen to the orders of the second commander. If there is any disobedience, I am willing to be killed!"

The second general said: "Tomorrow at noon, if the commander-in-chief does not return, the generals will follow me and lead the army to besiege the city. Rest early tonight, and the three armies are ordered not to drink alcohol, not to leave the camp, and not to walk in the camp. Cut. After entering the city tomorrow, all the soldiers will be rewarded heavily. The army will be on holiday for three days. Each person will get 20 taels of silver, half a piece of cloth, a jar of wine, and ten catties of meat. There are other advantages for being above the rank of a general."

All the generals cheered and were ordered to leave.

The second general of the Tong family, the eldest is Tong Shixian, the second is Tong Shilu, three brothers and sisters, one is three years older than the other.Tong Biyu is 38 years old, her eldest brother is 44, and her second brother is 41.

The Tong family, traced back to its roots, was originally a poor peasant family.His father, Tong Zhenshan, was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and he learned martial arts well.In order to go to Beijing to win the first prize of martial arts that year, his family was short of money, but he had no choice but to take three days of dry food on the road, and after eating the dry food, he looked for work along the way.Do it as you go, do it as you go.Once he worked as a part-time worker for a wealthy family, and his task was to help the owner plow a piece of land that had just been plowed again.He didn't ask why the plowed land had to be plowed again, anyway, he worked when someone paid him.When he was in the middle of plowing, he suddenly heard a loud "click" of the plowshare. When he heard the sound broke, he must have broken the owner's plow. According to the agreement, he must pay for it.Tong Zhenshan pulled up the plowshare, and seeing that the plowshare was intact, he let go of his grip.He was afraid that he would bump into this stone again on his next trip, so he made up his mind to dig out this stone.When he scraped away the soil, he found that it was a jar, which was sealed with purple mud.Tong Zhenshan carefully opened the mud seal and was shocked: the jar was full of silver.He stretched his waist, picked up the jar, led the ox and carried the plow, and went home.Back at his master's house, he tied up the ox, put down the plow, and went into the upper house of his master's house with the jar in his arms.Seeing him come in with a jar, the housekeeper of the host family joked, "Zhenshan, what are you doing with a broken jar? Do you want to drink?" Tong Zhenshan said, "This was dug out from your field, and it should belong to your family. The property will be returned to the original owner." After saying that, he put the jar on the ground.The housekeeper of the host family opened it and glanced at it casually, and said: "A gentleman loves money in a proper way. Since you dug it out, why did you give it to me? You should use it for yourself. Besides, I just bought this land not long ago, and the landlord doesn't know what to do. What should I do with it?” Tong Zhenshan said, “If you don’t take it, I’ll just bury it in the same place again?” “Buried or not buried has nothing to do with me?” One decided to return the property to its original owner, while the other refused Close, the two were arguing, and one person came in suddenly.The person who came was An Ren (wife) from the owner's house, and An Ren said, "It's wrong, it's wrong." The two asked in unison, "What's wrong?" An Ren said, "Do you think there will be money growing in the field? It was buried by my lady." "Why did the lady bury the silver in the ground?" They asked.An said: "You two don't know something. My lady made a fortune, and her whole life will be spoken in this area. The fortune-teller asked her to bury a beloved item in this field, and then hired someone to plow it. Whoever digs out this item will be her husband and son-in-law, whether he is old or young, handsome or ugly, she has to accept it unconditionally. If the man does not want her or has a wife at home, she will have to stay at home forever and never marry again." The housekeeper smiled and said, "I'll let you pick something cheap." Tong Zhenshan said, "How do you know it's cheap? What if it's a fire pit?" I know that this piece of land has been turned over eight times, and no one has turned it out, but I asked you to turn it out, didn't you ask for it?" Several people were talking, and the master came, and when the master heard the ins and outs, without further ado, he appointed Tong Zhenshan said: "Boy, it's you! I heard that the date of the contest mentioned in the imperial list is approaching, you start immediately tomorrow. You bring this jar of silver, and I will give you a good horse. After the competition, no matter who wins If you don’t agree, come to my house to marry the young lady. You don’t need to ask if the young lady looks virtuous or not, since it is destined, how can a man conquer the sky?” Tong Zhenshan won seven martial arts competitions in a row, the number one scholar in high school, and the official worship at Bianguan Guardian.He originally thought that if he didn't win, he would return the money to others, or make up the insufficient amount and then work to pay the debt.Now that he really won, it's hard to say anything about regretting it.He thought to himself: Miss must be extremely ugly, or she must be disabled, blind, deaf, and dumb, otherwise, why would she spend such a large price to recruit a husband-in-law?Tong Zhenshan is upright and kind, and he doesn't want to win over his good intentions.He went to that house with a lot of thoughts to get married and got married. On the night of the bridal chamber, he lifted the bride's red hijab and took a look: ah, miss is a fairy!

The family style has been passed down from generation to generation, and Tong Zhenshan's three children are all people of faith.

It was past noon the next day, and there was no news from the little eunuch.Tong Shixian and Tong Shilu knew that the situation was not good, for the sake of their father and younger sister, and also for the sake of the young eunuch, they had to go all out anyway, breaking the law of heaven every time they violated it.The second general of the Tong family decided to send troops to besiege the city, and the rest of the generals had agreed in advance, and there was no need for further instructions. A team of 5000 people was divided into four groups to surround the four city gates, and they waved their flags and shouted, "Marshal Pan is out of the city to oversee the army, Otherwise, they will attack the city!"

The day before, Wang Shugui drank a few more glasses of wine at the celebration banquet, and took advantage of the drunkenness to do some embarrassing things at night. Soldiers and horses are recruited into the city, all soldiers are on holiday, and the generals are waiting at home.Suddenly, I heard a report from my servant that countless rebels gathered around the city, threatening to break through the city.Wang Shugui hurriedly climbed to the parapet wall at the head of the city and looked down, oh my god, it's so dark, how many people are there?Wang Shugui's essays were good, but martial arts were not. He was confused and panicked, so he had no choice but to send someone to ask the emperor to come forward to suppress him.

The little emperor was playing hide-and-seek with some eunuchs and maids. He heard that there were soldiers and horses besieging the city. He felt strange. He was about to go out in a dragon chariot to see the excitement, when he ran into someone sent by the prime minister on the way.The little emperor saw his two uncles leading the way on the tower, so he shouted:

"Uncle Guo, come in quickly! You didn't catch up with the celebration banquet held yesterday, I feel so uncomfortable!"

Tong Shixian shouted: "Your Majesty, Pan You'an is the commander-in-chief. If he does not appear on the scene, these soldiers and horses cannot be restrained. Once they enter the city, it will be a disaster!"

The little emperor looked back at Prime Minister Wang, Wang Shugui was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, he was afraid that once the rebel soldiers entered the city, they would rush into his prime minister's mansion without distinguishing between jade and stone.He didn't have any better suggestions, so he just nodded and said:

"The emperor hastened to send an imperial decree to call Marshal Pan You'an out of the city to oversee the army!"
