Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 96

Feng Yao nodded, motioning Zhi Yue to continue.

Zhiyue said: "Master Fu, I suggest to act immediately and take down Chengfu County!"

Feng Yao's eyes suddenly brightened. It's not that Feng Yao didn't have this idea before, but he didn't have enough confidence. He thought it's better to wait for Zhou Cang's army to come. At that time, Chengfu County will surely surrender!However, the current situation has changed. If Xujiazhuang's strong men and chivalrous men are trained and formed a little bit, they can get thousands of soldiers. If they are caught by surprise and quickly control the main officials of the county government, maybe they don't have to wait for Zhou Cang to come!

"Ziqing, in your opinion, how should we take Chengfu City?" Feng Yao asked.

"Fu Jun, so and so..." Zhi Yue carefully whispered the whole plan to Feng Yao.

"This is a great plan!" Feng Yao happily said after hearing that, if Zhi Yue's plan is followed, Chengfu can be taken down tonight!

It's not even noon now, so there is enough time to act, and what happened in Xujiazhuang today, Feng Yao doesn't want to have long nights and dreams, so as to avoid accidents.

Feng Yao said loudly: "Everyone listen to my order!"

"Yes! My lord!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Xu Chu! You immediately gather all the men and women in the village and guard them strictly. From now on, without my order, Xujiazhuang will only be allowed to enter and not to leave! Also, you must quickly select a thousand strong men, and you must be in before the time limit. Infiltrate Chengfu City, and then send someone to Chengfu County Mansion to beat drums and cry for grievances! I will make arrangements to lure the county magistrate out! When the time comes, you will come to Chengfu Inn to meet me!" Feng Yao ordered.

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Zhu led the order and left.

……

According to the plan, Feng Yao took the first step and led the original ten people back to the Chengfu Inn. At this time, it was just late, and the business in the inn was booming.

The little girl who hadn't slept all night still didn't rest. Seeing Feng Yao and the others coming back, he greeted Feng Yao and others with a smile. Do you need anything?"

"How about this, we are tired all the way, you can serve a table of good wine and dishes right away, and you don't have to worry about it!" Feng Yao said.

Xiao Er went as ordered.

At this time Yang Wu asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you think Xu Chu really arrived on time? With so many villagers from Lin County entering the city in one day, will the county soldiers guarding the gate be suspicious?"

"Yang Wu, don't worry, Brother Zhi has already given Xu Chu a clever plan. As long as he acts according to the plan and pays the city entry tax as usual, the county soldiers will not notice. Just wait for the good news after eating with peace of mind!" Feng Yao said softly.

……

It is said that Xu Chu had selected five hundred strong men, each of whom pretended to be various merchants and scattered them smoothly into Chengfu County one by one. It's important, anyway, Xu Ding's purpose is to attract the county magistrate.

Xu Chu secretly ordered the chivalrous men who had sneaked into the city to lead a dozen or so men to wait near the county mansion, and rush to the Chengfu Inn by himself to inform Feng Yao of the situation.

"Let's go!" Feng Yao immediately led all his men to the county government.

At this time, a very large number of people had gathered outside the county government, some of them were from the city, and most of them were Xu Chu's subordinates who had sneaked in. Seeing Xu Chu's appearance, several leading knights surrounded him and secretly said : "It's all ready, you can do it anytime!"

"Okay, wait for my order!" Xu Chu said.

In the hall of the county government, because Xu Ding was beating drums to express his grievances, the county magistrate Zhang Zhai didn't dare to delay, so he was promoted to the hall soon, and the guards brought Xu Ding, who was beating the drums, into the hall and knelt down.

After some opening etiquette, the county magistrate Zhang Zhai asked, "Xu Ding, why are you playing drums?"

At this time, someone in the crowd blew a whistle, Xu Ding understood, knowing that everything was arranged, he was determined.

Xu Ding was already very courageous, and with Feng Yao's prepared adjudication, with a calm expression on his face, he stood up directly from the ground.

The county magistrate Zhang Zhai frowned and said angrily: "Xu Ding, you are just an ordinary civilian, and you still don't kneel down to answer!"

Xu Ding laughed loudly, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I, Xu Ding, did not come here to beat the drums today to complain, but to save you!"

"Bold lunatic! How dare you be so rude in court! Don't kneel down!" Immediately, four guards with knives rushed out from both sides, and Xu Ding surrounded him.

Although Zhang Zhai was furious, he was also taken aback by Xu Ding's calm expression, and quickly reached out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, it won't be too late to discuss the crime after he finishes speaking!"

The guards took the order to retreat, but in the dark, all of Xu Ding's escape routes were blocked. If Xu Ding's answer dissatisfied the county magistrate, they would immediately pounce on him and arrest Xu Ding first. In the prison!

Xu Ding nodded, showing his bragging manner in the past, put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and then looked up at Zhang Zhai, the county magistrate, with a sneer on his face, and said: "Chengfu County belongs to Runan County. Well, I heard that Feng Yao, the new governor of Runan, uses his soldiers like a god, and he is also virtuous and loving for the people. Wherever he goes, the people will always follow him, but the county monarch is still obsessed with his obsession, and he didn't go to meet the governor! I'm afraid disaster is not far away! "

Zhang Zhai's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "You are just a farmer in one kind of land, how do you know all these things! And you don't want to spread rumors here, I, Zhang Zhai, just bear it temporarily. There are orders, and I, Zhang Zian, have reasons not to follow!"

Zhang Zhai was secretly startled, he just received the documents from the county yesterday, he was hesitating, he wanted to wait and see for a while before replying to the eunuch, no one knew about this except a few confidantes, but this person When he came up, he pointed out his weakness.

Outside the lobby, when the onlookers heard the conversation in the hall, there was an uproar, and horror appeared on their faces.

"He's right! I ask the county lord to give us a clear answer, whether to resist or follow the newly appointed prefect!" A middle-aged man said loudly, Feng Yao was also in the crowd at this time, he took a look, this People have seen it, it is one of the 72 heroes just accepted.

"We don't want a war, we want a stable life, please don't start a war! I heard that the Fujun has sent a large army to attack Song! Let's not follow in Song's footsteps!" another chivalrous man shouted.

At this time, the real local people were shocked when they heard the news. Many people didn't know about these things, but they had experienced wars many times. The fear of war suddenly made everyone excited. They all shouted for the county lord to explain the truth!
The county magistrate Zhang Zhai stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, please be safe and don't worry. If the prefect has orders, the county lord will definitely obey! You will never be implicated by the flames of war! This is also the principle of the county lord! Please! Go home and don't spread rumors!"
