Chapter 28 Nanton County Chief
The city walls of Nandun County are pitch black, and the city towers seem to be quiet and quiet. Only the vague sound of the updates in the county town can make people feel that there are living people in this county town.
Riding on the dark night, Gao Lan led a group of elite soldiers to the city wall, looked up at the low-high city wall, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The height of the city wall is very low, at most less than ten feet high, and it is made of piles of earthen bricks.
Compared with Xu Du's towering sky and huge city head, it is simply a world of difference.
How could a mere county wall be able to defeat these soldiers in the army? This is why Gao Lan disdains.
"Roof!!"
Although it is just two short words, the effect it brings is obvious.
I saw fifty soldiers of Yuan army throwing the ropes that had already been prepared to the top of the city, putting them into the battlements one by one, and then pulling the rope hard to see if the ropes on the side were strong.
"Climb the city!" Gao Lan gave the order again.
The soldiers then climbed up the city wall with agility.
In almost a moment, Gao Lan and his friends had already climbed onto the city wall and everything went smoothly.
Gao Lan had just climbed the city and had not yet taken a breath, but saw two yawning soldiers slowly walking up the ladder.
They were carrying the spears in their hands, with sleepy eyes, tired and vigilant as low as possible. It was obvious that they were just trying to spend time and living.
Maybe these two guards did not expect that in this quiet and warless Nandun County, someone would lurk in without realizing it.
As soon as I climbed to the city, I saw that there were more people coming from the place that should have been a pure and uninhabited place. The two guards were so scared that they were shocked and most of their sleepiness disappeared.
"Who are you..."
As soon as I asked a sentence, I saw two warriors of Yuan Jun drew their swords and swung their swords forward like lightning. A cold light passed by. The two guards covered their necks with their hands, their eyes wide open, and looked at the group of people in front of them with horror. Blood kept spurting out from the cracks of their fingers. They wanted to make a sound and scream, but found that their throats had been cut off. Apart from the hissing of despair, they could not even shout a word.
Gao Lan looked at the corpses on the ground silently. He had already seen thousands of dead people. As a general in the army, he had already developed a heart of iron and stone. Human life in troubled times cannot be considered human life. In this era, human life is not even worthy of horses and cattle. In Gao Lan's eyes, the dead are at best just pigs slaughtered.
Turning his head to look at the soldiers beside him, Gao Lan pointed to a hundred people and said, "You, lead half of the people to open the city gate and welcome the third young master into the city. The remaining people follow me to the county government!"
"promise!"
................
Soon, the city gate of Nandun County slowly opened, and a torch in front of the city gate was dotted with glory, shaking back and forth towards Yuan Jun.
Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly sank and he waved to the soldiers behind him.
In an instant, the night sky, which was still silent, was shocked by the horse's hooves and shouts. The earth was trembling and the sky was shaking. Yuan Jun, who had been holding his breath, turned over the horses, like a beast waiting for power, rushed towards Nandun County in a mighty state. The state was like a mighty dragon, sweeping over the weeds and smoke outside the city, and violently penetrated into the depths of the county......
*********************************
Nandun County yamen.
"What's going on? What's going on!"
The disheveled Nandun County Jail ran out of his bedroom in panic, looking around blankly and listening to the sound of horse hooves in the distance outside the county government. He was obviously extremely panicked and at a loss.
"Sir, Sir! Not good"
I saw a group of county officials in the county yamen running into the county yamen in panic. They were all dressed in dishevelled, and they obviously got up in a hurry.
One of them said to Nandun County Jail, "Sir, a soldier came from nowhere in the county to capture the four gates and all the important roads of the county. The guards in my city were not prepared and could not resist. They retreated one after another, and even the camp was occupied by them! Sir, what should I do?"
When the Nandun County Priest heard this, he panicked and asked tremblingly: "Band...Bands? Is it Lei Xu from Huaiyin or Changfeng from Chaohu? Is it the red-clothed thief from Jiulishan here?"
A cadre shook his head and said, "The villain had just climbed up to watch, but he saw thousands of soldiers coming, all of whom were iron cavalry and hard armor, with moderate command, not like bandits and bandits..."
"Then...where will the soldiers be?" The Nandun County Jail sweated on his head when he heard this.
If you know the other party's background, it would be a good idea. It would be a matter of dealing with it according to your needs, but you don't know where the people came, which would be a bit difficult to deal with.
I don’t know the other party’s intentions, but I can’t make up my mind whether to defend or run?
The county magistrate was thinking about it, and suddenly heard a loud noise from the gate of the county government, but the two gates that had just been closed were knocked open. Gao Lan was wearing light clothes and led dozens of elite soldiers into the county government with great strides.
Everyone in the county government immediately became so scared that they almost urinated their pants, and they drifted into the main hall.
Gao Lan glared at her eyes, opened her voice and shouted loudly: "Don't hide! I'll stand there, whoever runs, I'll chop whoever I'll chop up!"
The roared loudly, and the effect was very good. The people who had just passed away stopped and Judun stood in the county yard without moving, but looked at Gao Lan in front of them in a cowardly manner.
“This is pretty good.”
Gao Lan looked back and forth at everyone and said, "Which one is the jurist of Nandun County? Come out and talk to someone!"
After a long time, I saw Nandun County Jail standing out from the crowd tremblingly, bowing to Gao Lan, and whispering: "I'm here to see Nandun County Jail. I've seen this.... I wonder which master the leader is from? Why did I come to my Nandun County tonight?"
Gao Lan was furious when he heard this. He reached out and grabbed Nandun County Jail, grabbed him, pointed to his nose and said angrily: "Bastard! You blind your eyes, what a bullshit leader! You can see clearly for me, what is the point of me? I look like a bandit who is robbing the house!"
When the Nandun County Jay wiped the cold sweat from his head when he heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart. This is not a question of whether it looks like it or not. Isn’t this clear?
"Dare to ask the boss..."
"Looking for death!" Gao Lan was furious.
"Then... King Dai?"
"shut up!"
The Nandun County Jail almost cried. For the first time, I saw such an unreasonable thief leader, and he even picked the other ones with a title. Could it be that the county even called you a general?
"Then... what should this county call you? I hope you will give me advice." The county magistrate gave Gao Lan a bow, and he felt so aggrieved.
Gao Lan was stunned when he heard this, and he felt a little confused.
Yes, I have been fighting with my lord for many years and fighting everywhere. Gao Lan has done almost everything that others have done in the military, but this is the first time that the robbery of the county government is robbed today. The young master said that he could not express his identity at will, so what should he call the county magistrate?
"You...you call a general in a certain family!" Gao Lan was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly.
When everyone in the county government heard this, they were surprised.
The bandits are so arrogant now that they are even more arrogant. They are even more proud of themselves as generals?
If the promotion of the family and robbery is so fast, then I might as well give up the job and become a bandit tomorrow.
Seeing the doubts of everyone, Gao Lan coughed softly and said loudly: "You all have you told me that we are not bandits, but the Left General of the current dynasty, the Marquis of Yichengting, and the General of the Governor of the Yuzhou Palace, was ordered to come here... to collect grain!"
"Ah?" When everyone in the county government heard this, you look at me, I look at you, Liu Bei's subordinates, came here to collect grain in the middle of the night?
To put it nicely, it is clearly the one who came to grab the food!
However, looking at the outfits of these people, they are really accessories for soldiers and generals in regular ranks. Ordinary bandits will definitely not wear this way.
The Nandun County Priest's heart suddenly stabilized. Although Liu Bei was facing the enemy with Cao Sikong, he was still famous. Since his troops attacked him tonight, his life could be considered as being preserved.
The county magistrate hurriedly bowed to Gao Lan and said, "It turns out that the general under the imperial uncle's tent is here in person. I hope the general will not blame him if he offended him just now."
"It's easy to say!"
Gao Lan raised his hand to block the county priest's verbal talk and said, "In recent years, the harvest in Runan was not good, the food and grass were insufficient, and it was quite difficult to raise soldiers. We should not have troubled you and other small counties around you, but today we all know that Liu Yuzhou was in charge of the emperor's clothes and belts, raising troops, raising grain, and fighting against traitors. As Han ministers, should you do your best to make the great cause of Liu Yuzhou?"
“Natural, natural.”
At this moment, the county magistrate dared to make any trouble, so he would naturally follow whatever Gao Lan said.
"Then why are you still standing there? You can't send someone to open Cang Ao quickly!" Gao Lan reminded her impatiently, looking very domineering.
"Yes! Yes! I'll send someone here..." The county priest turned his head quickly and shouted at the officials behind him: "Hurry, don't you quickly lead the general's men to get food and fodder!"
"promise....."
The officials in charge of the grain led some of Gao Lan's soldiers to go in a hurry.
However, Gao Lan stayed in the county government office, entered the main hall, and knelt down and sat down carelessly. He looked at the county priest up and down, and said, "You county priest are a tactful person. What's your name?"
The county priest hurriedly laughed with him and said, "I am Deng Chang, whose name is Tongzhi, and I am from Jiyang, Yiyang... I don't know the surname Gao?"
Gao Lan turned his head when he heard this, hummed for a moment but said nothing.
Deng Chang was smart, looked Gao Lan carefully for a while, and suddenly realized: "I see the general's tiger-faced and curly bearded, majestic and well-beautiful appearance. Could it be the tiger general under Liu Yuzhou's tent... Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide?"
"You..." Gao Lan suddenly turned his head when he heard this, his eyes wide open, and his expression was complicated, making people unable to guess their joys and anger.
The county priest Deng shrank his neck so much that he looked at Gao Lan timidly and said, "General, don't blame me, I'm just talking casually, I have no other intentions... Is it because I'm guessing wrong?"
There was silence in the main hall of the government office...
