Chapter 24: See Fujun
At that time of Tianxu (7 pm), five hundred radiant soldiers were ready to go. They would follow Wei Feng into Yangxian to seize the county city. Although no one knew what methods Wei Feng would use, Wei Feng's unbeaten record since he entered the parable gave them great confidence. This time, they believed that the lord would still succeed.
Five hundred pairs of armor and one hundred crossbows have been brought with them, and fifty pairs of bows are also brought with them. When the bow is not used, the bow string is usually removed. Because it loses the pulling effect of the bow string, the bow body will be bent and curled into a semi-arc shape, which is most convenient to carry. These are all installed in bamboo baskets that are carried with you, covered with rice, mountain goods and thatch, and the spear cannot be carried, and each person is only equipped with a short knife.
Wei Feng turned his head and ordered, "Xiang Mi, the village is temporarily handed over to you. Let your brothers relax. Good news will be sent back within two or three days. Then you will move to the county town with everyone in the village!"
"Please don't worry, lord!" Xiang Mi still bowed respectfully despite the actions Wei Feng was puzzled.
Wei Feng was about to order to start, but Wang Man's voice came, "Wei Lang, I want to follow you too!"
"Uh?" Wei Feng turned his head and looked. Wang Man and Xiaolan were wearing Hu clothes, and each of them was carrying small packages. They were obviously ready for travel. This gave him a secret headache. During the day, he specifically told them to stay in the village. He agreed at that time, why did he regret it when he went out?
Wei Feng said, "Actually, it's nothing to bring you two. It's just about a hundred miles to Yangxian. You have to arrive tomorrow during the day, and you can hardly rest during the day. Can you stand it?"
Wang Man nodded firmly: "You have to bear it even if you can't stand it. It's because you don't know what method you will use. Therefore, since you left, I'm afraid that you will have a conflict with Prefect Chu, and that the gentry in Qian will be killed. They have no official position and are in the wilderness. Even if you suspect you, you can refuse to admit it. But Prefect Chu is different. If you accidentally hurt his life, you will start to cause an uproar. I'm afraid there will be no place to stay in Jiangdong. So I have to follow you no matter what, and at the critical moment, maybe I can persuade you one or two."
Xiaolan followed her expectant gaze.
A warm current surged in Wei Feng's heart, thinking that it would be better to carry it with him, so I would always feel at ease to stay by my side. In the past two months, I have been with Wang Man and Xiaolan every day, and I am still a little uncomfortable with it for two or three days apart, so I nodded and said, "The whole army obeys the orders and set off immediately!"
"Avoid the order!" The soldiers agreed in unison, and five hundred people lined up in a formation and walked down the mountain while the night was shining.
Along the way, although there were no obvious mountains, they were mostly gentle hills, and it was not easy to walk at night. Wei Feng once asked for a rest several times, but both women shook their heads like rattles and refused to stop saying anything, which made the soldiers accompanying the army admire them. Some people had already felt unbearable, but the two mistresses didn't say a word, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
At noon the next day, the whole army arrived in a valley ten miles west of Yangxian. Wei Feng immediately ordered a rest for half an hour, and then he let people disperse and enter the city from four gates in groups of three or three, and meet in a house he purchased earlier.
The sky gradually became dark, and the small courtyard was crowded with people. It was cold and the ground was frozen. Yixing had never had any war. The guards at the city gate were lazy to even check. The soldiers all got into the city without any danger. They had just used dinner not long ago. Wang Man looked at Wei Feng and finally asked the long-standing question: "Weilang, are you going to forcibly attack the county government, right?"
This is also the problem that all the soldiers wanted to figure out, and they immediately turned their attention to Wei Feng. Wei Feng laughed and said, "What should I do to attack him? I am leading my brothers to surrender to Zhu Shuang. Yixing has weak troops. Our powerful troops with more than 1,000 people surrendered to him. Do you think Chu Shuang will be so happy that she is at a loss?"
As soon as these words were said, Wang Man fully understood that this was not a refugee, it was clearly a bully of Chu Shuang's weak strength and a hijacking. However, when he thought of Wei Feng's always domineering behavior, it was quite in line with this person's style.
Wang Man said angrily: "Weilang, don't go too far. Remember to say good things to others, don't really have any accidents."
"It depends on whether he knows the situation!" Wei Feng responded casually, looked at the hourglass again. The time was approaching Hai hour (9 o'clock in the evening), and then called out: "It's almost the same sky. Chu Shuang should go to bed no matter how late he is. She is wearing armor. Let's visit immediately!"
"As for the order!" The soldiers stood up one after another and helped each other put their armor on. Xiaolan and Wang Man also helped Wei Feng wear the bright light armor. As soon as the bright silver armor was on his body, it immediately gave people a sense of majesty, and the beautiful eyes of the two women couldn't help but lit up!
With Wei Feng's fierce wave, five hundred people rushed out of the courtyard in a swaying manner and headed towards Chu Shuang's mansion.
Yangxian was originally a small town, and it was in the middle of winter. There were almost no people on the streets. Even if someone occasionally caught him, he was so scared that he could dodge his way. Who would dare to provoke this team of fully armed soldiers? No one would think that these people were actually fakes.
Soon, Chu Shuang's mansion appeared in front of him. This was the largest house in the city. The wall was about one meter high and the vermilion gate was closed.
The somewhat impatient soldier had already taken out the hook rope from his arms, and planned to climb into the wall immediately after Wei Feng gave the order. Wei Feng quickly stopped him and said, "We are seeking refuge, not attacking, so we don't need this thing, we put them away, but to prevent accidents, we fill all the crossbows with arrows, and some people go to the back door, and no one is allowed to leave!"
Among the five hundred people, one hundred were divided into circling the back door, and the other soldiers immediately filled the crossbows in groups of three or five. Then Wei Feng walked forward and knocked on the door!
"Bang bang bang!" Wei Feng made the door pound loudly, and the soldiers were hiding on both sides of the door, but Wang Man and Xiaolan's hearts were raised to their throats.
A moment later, a small window opened on the door, and an old voice came out: "Who? Why bother at night?"
Wei Feng urged loudly: "The court has an emergency military order. The last general needs to meet with the Duke. Open the door quickly and do not delay!"
"Kala~~" A friction sounded, the vermilion gate slowly opened inward, Wei Feng waved his hand again, and four hundred soldiers poured in.
"You... are you?" Before the old gatekeeper came to his senses, he watched the brigade of troops break into the mansion in amazement. Then, he looked fear in his eyes and shouted: "Military! This is a mutiny!"
The screams were shrill and panicked. A soldier pulled out his knife. Wei Feng quickly shouted: "Stop and let him shout! It's better to call out everyone, you, you! Each brings some brothers to control the strategic points of the mansion. When there is a guard who resists, kill them without any hesitation. Try not to kill the rest of the Chu clan and maids, just drive them out!"
"As for order!" Several teams of people immediately spread out around.
After leaving twenty more people to guard the gate, Wei Feng rushed towards the mansion with the remaining 200 people.
Generally speaking, the mansion is behind the gate. The scale is determined by the identity and status of the residence. Behind the square is the main hall for meeting guests. Chu's mansion is no exception. The sudden change caused the lights in the mansion to be made in an instant, and people ran out one after another.
Wei Feng led his troops to stand in front of the hall, and did not enter without authorization. He would control him when he encountered maids running around.
Not long after, a group of more than ten people walked out quickly from the back of the hall. Wang Man whispered: "The person who led the leader is Chu Shuang, and his three sons, Chu Xiuzhi, Chu Yanzhi, and Chu Yuzhi."
Wei Feng nodded and turned his eyes. Chu Shuang was about forty years old, and his face was almost invisible and panic. He looked at his side. His three sons were obviously much worse in calmness. They all looked pale and looked helpless. The rest of them looked at their outfits, and they should be servants in charge.
Chu Shuang shouted coldly: "Who are you waiting for? Why did you trespass on our mansion?"
Wei Feng took two steps forward, half kneeled and saluted, and shouted: "The last general Xingyi Army Sima Weifeng met the Duke!"
"This..." The more than ten people on the stairs were all attracted by each other. The Sima of the Army was an important position in the county and was in charge of the dispatch of troops in a county. Who is this Wei Feng? What's more, the Sima of the Army was Chu Shuang's eldest son Chu Xiuzhi. When did he change people? Is it really a mutiny in the army? Could it be that Liu Laozhi led the way, and a mutiny was popular in the army?
Chu Shuang turned his gaze to Chu Xiuzhi and asked who Wei Feng was. After all, Chu Xiuzhi should be relatively familiar with the situation of the county soldiers.
Chu Xiuzhi was in a state of confusion. He couldn't calm down to identify who Wei Feng was. He just felt very good, so he gritted his teeth and was about to ask for advice. Wei Feng had already winked backwards.
Suddenly, the two hundred people behind him all bowed half-kneel and said in unison: "Let me meet the Lord of the Mansion!"
The voice was neat and loud. Except for Chu Shuang who insisted on calming down, everyone else was so scared that they shivered.
Chu Shuang glared at his eldest son with dissatisfaction, and Chu Xiuzhi had to force himself to ask: "You...who are you? Why have I never seen him?"
Wei Feng led everyone to stand up and laughed: "We are people nearby. Because the fire in our homes has been cut off, it seems that we can't live this year. So we come to serve the Duke and ask for food from the Duke!"
After saying this, everyone on the steps calmed down a little, and Chu Shuang immediately waved her hand and said, "Since you are interested in serving in the court, you should go to the military palace to report tomorrow morning, why did you trespass our palace? Forget it, I don't know, I don't care about it, and I'll all go away. If you want to join the army, come again tomorrow."
A trace of viciousness flashed in Chu Shuang's eyes, and she turned around and walked into the hall. He could see that these people were not ordinary people at all. How could the people not be afraid of the officials when they saw them? Most of them were bandits nearby, and the bandits were very brave!
He had made up his mind to first slander Wei Feng and others, and then dispatch the defenders to wipe out them. At the same time, he also scolded the guards at the gate. How could so many bandits get into the city, why didn't they find anything strange?
