Chapter 112 Resourceful Zhou County Lieutenant
I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, and all your wishes come true!
----------
In Hui County, just as Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji led the army to Hui County, in a large mansion, several middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes were sitting in the hall, and everyone had a hint of anxiety on their faces.
"Don't panic, Zhou has sent someone out to inquire. I think the court army led by General Yuchi and Lord Changsun will arrive soon." Zhou Xingxiu, the Huixian County Magistrate, picked up the tea on the case and took a beautiful sip, and then said to the humanity of the major families of Huixian sitting below with a confident smile on his face.
"Brother Yuanji, we don't have such a good character, you have such a good character. This matter is related to the lives of our Zhao clan. How could I be as free and easy as Brother Yuanji?" Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, one of the middle-aged men in black robe shook their heads and smiled, and then looked at Zhou Xingxiu and said, "Brother Yuanji is really sure that this can be accomplished?"
"Haha, Brother Huai Ren was joking. If Zhou was not sure, how could he take risks with Zhou's own life and his own life?" Zhou Xingxiu smiled slightly, reached out to stroke the beard on his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, Zhou dare not say that he is 100% sure about this matter, but there are still 80% or more. Only everyone can work together to help the court break the thief. At that time, wouldn't it be happy to be glorious and honor the ancestors and win the wife and children?!"
Everyone in the hall listened to Zhou Xingxiu's words, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Thinking that if this matter is done, they will receive the gift from the court in the future. The originally anxious expression was also wiped out, and there were more smiles on their faces.
"I have to thank Zhou County Magistrate Zhou for his help. After the matter is completed, Wan will thank him very much!" A middle-aged fat man in a light blue dress bowed and smiled at Zhou Xingxiu.
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Wan is right. After this is done, Liang will thank you very much!"
"The same is true for Fan, I will thank you very much!"
...
The hall was filled with joy, as if everyone had already captured the Prince of Runan and suppressed the rebellion in the court, and was about to receive great rewards.
"Hahaha, you are polite. It depends on everyone's concerted efforts in this matter. Zhou dares not take credit for it!" Zhou Xingxiu waved his hand modestly, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
At this moment, outside the hall, a young servant walked into the hall quickly, and after coming in, he knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "I have met Master! I have met Master!"
"Well, what's the news I asked you to inquire about? Tell me quickly!" Zhou Xingxiu asked hurriedly when he saw the young servant.
"Go back to the master, I just found out from outside that the army in the court had arrived. Although I couldn't see many people because it was too far away, it was said that there were many, and there seemed to be tens of thousands. Now there are soldiers guarding the city walls." The young servant quickly told the news he had found out.
"Seriously?" The middle-aged man in black robe who spoke first heard the words of the young servant, stood up before Zhou Xingxiu could speak, and looked at the young servant with excitement.
"The villain dares not speak nonsense. Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, he feels the ground shaking by the city wall, just like a ground dragon turning over." The young servant said.
"Haha, here we come. If you say so, the army in the court must have come. Without tens of thousands of people, it would be impossible for such a movement!"
"Okay, finally here, tens of thousands of troops, and the few thousand men of the Runan Prince, how could he resist tens of thousands of troops?"
After hearing the words of the young servants, several patriarchs of the big clans in Huixian County said with joy.
"Okay, okay, please be careful, don't be anxious!" Looking at the face of joy and excitement, as if the contribution of the rebellion was in front of you, Zhou Xingxiu raised his mouth slightly, held back the excitement in his heart, and raised his hand to say to everyone.
"You must preside over this matter with Brother Renji!"
"Yes, yes, Zhou County Wei is the county magistrate of this county. If this matter is presided over by Zhou County Wei, we will feel much more at ease."
The patriarchs of these big families looked at Zhou Xingxiu with excitement.
When Zhou Xingxiu heard the words of these aristocratic families in Huixian, he became more and more excited. Why did he take these aristocratic families in Huixian so enthusiastically to suppress the rebellion? First, it was to have more troops. After all, the total number of slaves and guards raised by each of these aristocratic families was not a small number.
Secondly, he was trying hard to increase his contribution. This time he tried his best, not to put down the rebellion. If the rebellion was commanded by him, the rebellion would undoubtedly be the greatest. Zhou Xingxiu could have predicted that when the rebellion ended, he was afraid that he would not have to go to Datianting. Once he jumped over the dragon gate and was appointed as a marquis and minister, it was just around the corner!
"Everyone has been praised, I have been raised!" Although I did have an idea in my heart, I still need humility on the surface. I smiled and then said, "However, this time it is important to everyone, and I have another thing to tell you."
"Brother Renji (Prince Zhou County) please tell me!" Seeing Zhou Xingxiu's expression, these people hurriedly bowed.
"This matter was discovered by Zhou's servants in the yamen not long ago. Didn't we plan to lead people directly into the county government to capture the prince of Runan alive?" Zhou Xingxiu's face flashed with anger, and then said, "Zhou originally thought that with the age of the prince of Runan, of course, he would not go up to the city wall to guard it himself. After all, there was no eyebrow, but who would have thought that Zhou had just received the news that the prince of Runan actually went to the East City Gate early in the morning and had never returned to the county government!"
"What? How could this be?"
"Then, Brother Na Renji, what should I do about this?"
Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, the originally excited family leader and others suddenly felt as if they were suddenly cold from their heads while burning fire in the middle of winter, which made them a little at a loss.
"This incident happened suddenly, and Zhou did not expect it. However, we were already on the verge of the strings and had to fire it. At this time, thousands of elite soldiers and generals had gathered in the East City Gate, and there were many cities defending the city. Although the combined force in our hands was more than a thousand, if we attacked the East City Gate, we still had no strength. At most, we would create some chaos for them, and even annihilated the entire army." Zhou Xingxiu stood up from the Hu case, looked at the people of all families, and said.
"In this way, Zhou thought for a long time and felt that we should concentrate our troops to attack the Xicheng Gate. As far as Zhou knew, compared with the East City Gate, the Xicheng Gate only arranged 500 soldiers and thousands of civilians. With our troops, there should be no problem to take down the Xicheng Gate."
"When we take down the Xicheng Gate, we can send people to pick up the court army. Although this is not as good as the result of capturing the Prince of Runan alive, it is definitely not small, and the strength of each family will not lose too much. What do you think?" Zhou Xingxiu talked to his brother in front of him.
"This..." After hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, the patriarchs of various major clans suddenly looked gloomy and unstable. However, as Zhou Xingxiu said, they were already on the verge of this matter. After the opportunity passed away, they looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and nodded in one go, "Okay, then we'll ask County Commander Zhou for this matter!"
"Haha, okay, that's not too late, let's set off right away!" Seeing everyone agreeing, Zhou Xingxiu laughed, waved his hand with great enthusiasm, and then led the families of various aristocratic families toward the door...
