Chapter 118 Supervisor
"Two military supervisors are on duty."
Zheng Yunzhi invited Yu Jue and Ren Dong to the county government office and called someone to bring tea and then began to speak.
"The officials have been looking forward to the military supervisor for a long time. Today, I have seen the two military supervisors, and I have let down a big stone in my heart."
Ren Dong was impatient and said without saying anything, "I have read the report from the magistrate Zheng County and Lord Yu. Ding's commander combined the left general to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and later dispatched General Hu Dawei 5,000 soldiers and horses. All 45,000 people died in Nanyang. I was really unbelievable to me and Lord Yu. I also asked the magistrate Zheng to tell me the details in detail, so that I can tell you the difference between me and Lord Yu."
Zheng Yunzhi nodded and said, "It should be like this."
Then he said, "At the beginning of the matter, we have to start from the beginning. The lower officials were the county magistrate of Ye County. The imperial court had 2 million military wages to be transported to Ye County as a capital to suppress the thieves. The lower officials did not dare to neglect them. However, the news was leaked!"
Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other and nodded slightly.
They had known about the news here for a long time. When Zheng Yunzhi sent someone to Xiangyang for help, they had read Zheng Yunzhi's handwritten books and knew that someone had leaked the secret.
"The lower officials have only five hundred households, less than six hundred people. The general will go to Erlang Mountain, Wuyang to welcome the escort. However, the bandit general Hao Yaoqi led more than 10,000 troops to attack, and then robbed the generals of the army's salary outside the city. Not only did the bandits rob the military salary, they also wanted to capture Ye County. The lower officials were powerless, so they had to lead the bandits into Ye County and set fire, and then retreated into Fangcheng Mountain."
"After the officer lost his military pay, he knew he was serious. He sent someone to inquire about the news. When he heard that the commander Ding had led his army to Yuzhou, he hurriedly asked someone to ask for help, hoping that General Zuo could regain military pay."
"Regain the military pay?" Yu Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Did the thief rob the military pay? Didn't he transport it away?"
Zheng Yunzhi said: "Sir, please tell me. The officials knew that the military pay was leaked. They were afraid that the thieves would cooperate with each other. After searching, they arrested several thieves in Ye County. One of them was the daughter of Yuan Chonghuan who treasoned the country. This thief girl contacted the thief and leaked the news."
When the two military supervisors heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned: "The daughter of Yuan Chonghuan?!"
"It's this woman." Zheng Yunzhi said, "I don't know where the thief girl got the news, but it was not bad at all. She contacted Hao Yaoqi, the thief general under the thief. Therefore, when the military pay was arrived, Hao Yaoqi happened to arrive. However, the official learned some news from her and inferred that Hao Yaoqi had the intention to take it alone, so he did not transport the military pay!"
"Shall it?!"
Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other.
After a moment, Ren Dong said: "It is reasonable for a thief to be thief to be thief."
Zheng Yunzhi showed a deep expression of agreement: "There is also the same as Xiaguan. Therefore, he secretly asked someone to inquire about the place where the thief hides the silver."
Yu Jue and Ren Dong both nodded.
"It's the White River Valley." Zheng Yunzhi sighed: "The people under the Xiaguan are all locals in this area, so they are familiar with geography. They noticed that there were traces of the White River Valley, with about thousands of people. The Xiaguan did not dare to alert the snake, so they prepared to contact the Chief Ding."
"It should be." The two military supervisors nodded.
Zheng Yunzhi shook her head and said, "But unexpectedly, the thieves valued the two million military pay in particular. Not to mention Liu Zongmin's 20,000 troops first, when the Xiaguan found the place where the military pay was hidden, the army of the thief Liu Zongmin was in Yuzhou. The Xiaguan was about to contact the supervisor, and another bandit soldier came north."
"oh!"
The two military supervisors frowned when they heard this.
"But it was a thief general under the thief's command, Li Guo." Zheng Yunzhi said: "There are 20,000 people."
"Xiaoguan hurriedly sent someone to go to Yuzhou to report the news, and only took five thousand green soldiers to Ye County to block a tiger." Zheng Yunzhi said: "I don't know that there is a tiger, the army of Xiaguan. Xiaguan attacked him at night and defeated him."
"Five thousand young and strong?" The two military supervisors locked this number very sensitively.
"Yes," Zheng Yunzhi said: "The Xiaguan is responsible for his important tasks. After performing his duties last year, he moved the people of Ye County to Fangcheng Mountain. The Xiaguan retreated into Fangcheng Mountain and recruited five thousand young and strong people from it."
"Although there was no time to train strictly, they were all the people of Ye County who shared the same hatred for the enemy. The thieves were in a panic and killed countless people, and captured a tiger by the thief general."
"Oh!" The two of them were stunned when they heard this: "A tiger was also captured?"
"That's right." Zheng Yunzhi said: "The thief general is still detained in Fangcheng Mountain."
"That's right." Yu Jue and Ren Dong laughed.
Zheng Yunzhi shook his head and said, "However, although the Xiaguan intercepted and killed a tiger, there was a big defeat in Yuzhou. After defeating a tiger, the Xiaguan ordered the Baihu Ying Yi to lead his army south. When the left army was defeated, the bandits had already entered the city of Yuzhou. It was in a critical moment that the Baihu Ying Yi fought bravely to lead the first place and boosted morale. He defeated the bandits in one fell swoop, and killed Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi."
"This...Who is Ying Yi?" Yu Jue and Ren Dong looked at each other, and Ren Dong said, "It was thousands of young and strong who broke tens of thousands of bandits?"
Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "It's thanks to Ying Baihu. The subordinate officials are just county magistrates and are not qualified to appoint thousands of households, otherwise they would have been promoted to thousands of households or even garrisons. Ying Yi was extremely brave and powerful, and the ancient generals were just like this. He was also good at leading troops and had great military strategies. He charges and can do everything."
"Where is this person? Why not call me to see him?" Yu Jue and Ren Dong were a little curious when he heard Zheng Yunzhi's flattery.
Zheng Yunzhi shook his head and said, "Although Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Hao shook the flag, Kaifeng thieves must be guarded. The subordinates have ordered him to lead his troops north to guard the Shoushan Mountain and guard against the thieves."
When the two military supervisors heard this, they felt they cared about it and thought that Zheng Yunzhi was considerate.
Yu Jue then asked, "Since Liu Zongmin was killed and Hao Yaoqi was killed, I don't know where the head level was?"
Zheng Yunzhi said: "The head has been sent to the capital."
The two were stunned, their minds changed, and they were silent.
Then Zheng Yunzhi said, "The subordinate official is the county magistrate of Ye County. It is okay to report this matter to the prefect of Nanyang, the governor of Henan, and the commander Ding. However..."
How can the two supervisors not know about the situation here?
The Henan Governor was in Kaifeng and was besieged by thieves. The Nanyang Prefect has been empty since last year. Ding Qirui, the commander of the thief suppression, died. The coffin of him and Zuo Liangyu were parked outside, and he had seen it before.
"The officials were helpless and had to report to the capital over the level. At the same time, the news was transmitted to Xiangyang so that the two military supervisors could know."
This reason is very powerful, and the two military supervisors can do nothing.
I couldn't help feeling a little cold for a moment.
In other words, the contribution of turning the tide has nothing to do with them.
Zheng Yunzhi saw it clearly, but laughed and said, "The two military supervisors have worked hard and made great contributions. How can the subordinates not understand? It was mentioned in the report that they had lost the situation here, so they rely on the military supervisors' reminder."
Yu Jue and Ren Dong turned to joy. Yu Jue smiled and said, "I and Lord Ren only reminded me one or two, and the main credit is the magistrate of Zheng County."
Everyone was very happy.
