Da Suining

Chapter 274
In the Southwest War, if you win more with less, there is nothing unusual. After all, Xuanguo also sent a thousand elite soldiers, who are better equipped and trained than those grass bandits. It should be won, but it is almost costless. It was a big surprise to win a big victory.

Even if Mei Tong was sent to lead the troops, he would not win such glory.

Xiang Guoxin's admiration for Xiang Suining was like a surging river.

After marching for more than ten days, they arrived in Changzhou in the southwest.

Changzhou is narrow and narrow, like a peanut.The mountain roads are rugged and the cliffs are steep. The local people have worked hard for a year before they are full.

Poverty leads to change.

Many people were forced to become grassroots bandits.There are fewer and fewer common people in Changzhou, but there are more and more grassroots bandits.

The grass bandits are entrenched on the mountain, and they are almost guarded by one man.

The terrain is naturally well defended. The prefect of Changzhou has taken people to capture the grasshoppers several times. If the grassroots were not generous, the grass on the grave of the prefect of Changzhou would be two meters high.

Going to Changzhou, Guo Kai wanted to put up the court's signboard and sent envoys to the grass bandit's den to talk about surrender. If they surrender, they will be lightly let go, otherwise they will be killed.

I thought it would scare the grasshoppers out of their shit.

Unexpectedly, the grass bandits caught the men sent by Guo Kai, beat them with two sticks and threw them back.

Now that we have come to this point, no grass bandit is afraid of death.

Guo Wei and others brought a thousand soldiers to Changzhou, and before they reached the border of Changzhou, his old background was found out.

Grass bandits are grass bandits, not idiots.

Guo Kai wanted to scare people, but they didn't take him seriously at all.

Guo Kai decided to go there in person to show his status as a prince.

The prince's status is precious, and it doesn't scare them half to death. If you dare to fight against the prince, you are provoking the court. How many heads of their gang of grassroots are there.

Xiangguo didn't want Guo Kai to go, but he couldn't control Guo Kai.

Sure enough, Guo Kai was slapped by others as soon as he went to reveal his identity.Not only did they not entertain him with good wine and food, but they directly detained him.

It really didn't take much effort, the two armies hadn't fought yet, and the opposing general took the initiative to vote, wouldn't it be stupid not to catch it?

Guo Kai was detained, and a thousand elite soldiers had no idea, so Xiangguo summoned the crowd, dug a trench overnight, sent [-] soldiers to ambush around the trench, and sent another [-] soldiers to guard the mountain.He himself only took Wu Qian, the magistrate of Changzhou, and went to Qixintang, the hall of the grass bandits.

The mountain wind was very strong, and the three or four thousand grass bandits were divided into three teams, with three corporal leaders.

Now that Guo Cheng has been captured, the three corporal leaders are very happy.Satisfied with a bare back.

It is really exciting to capture the prince of the imperial court without moving a single soldier.

The three corporals eat fish and meat, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and the little grass bandits below are also jumping for joy.

Guo Kai was tied to a stone pillar, with a few loops of rope tied around his body, so he couldn't move. The underside of his satin robe was wet. If nothing else happened, he must have peed on his pants again.Of course, this has been ridiculed by grass bandits.

When Wu Qian, the prefect of Changzhou, arrived at Qixintang, everyone in Qixintang didn't give him a good look.

After several times of fighting, Wu Qian would piss off. In their eyes, Wu Qiancheng was so decent.

On the other hand, the young man in brocade robe standing silently behind Wu Qian, with delicate features, was not at all panicked by more than 100 gangsters with spears, he was better than the one who peed his pants.

Xiao Qian, one of the corporal leaders, asked Xiang Guoxin's identity.

Xiang Guoxin said that he was the second prince Guo Cheng.This is what Xiang Suining taught.

This is simply risking the world without violating it.

Guo Cheng is still alive.

Guo Cheng was the first one who was unwilling: "You dog, you are doing it for you." Guo Cheng also couldn't explain why Xiang Guoxin had to pretend to be the second prince, but he felt angry again: "You replace the prince. Identity, do you know that it is a capital offense? You don’t want to rescue me, and you pretend to be my identity. I said that you have no hair on your mouth, and you can’t do things well, and the father still doesn’t believe it.”

Guo Cheng cursed and cursed.

Qi Xintang's Wuchang Xiao Gan put the long knife directly on Xiang Guoxin's neck.

There are three or four thousand people in Qixintang, but no one knows the true face of the second prince.

On the contrary, Wu Qian, the magistrate of the prefecture, knelt down and bowed respectfully to Xiang Guoxin in his official robe: "Slave Wu Qian, prefect of Changzhou prefect, pays homage to the second prince of Xuanguo, King of Lu Guo Kai."

Wu Qian is a person who has seen the world.

The person he knelt with must not be wrong.Otherwise, isn't it disobedience?

Xiao Qian and others in Qixintang were about to cut off Guo Kai's head with a knife and serve him wine, saying that he was pretending to be a prince, and his intentions were to be punished.

Guo Cheng was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

What the hell, in this situation, that dead Wu Qian actually opened his eyes and talked nonsense.

When he went to Qingcheng to report, he also gave gifts to the princes. Before coming to Changzhou, he went to the brothel with Guo Kai to drink flower wine.

The old man now actually recognizes him as Guo Cheng.

Xiao Qian said: "Since the person being tied up is not the prince, it's useless to keep it. It's better to kill Jitian."

Guo Cheng felt cold, could it be that he was going to be cold in a remote place like Changzhou?
Xiang Guoxin's face didn't change for a moment, maybe it was a trick, or maybe it was because Guo Kai was not very kind to Xiangyan. If such a brother-in-law were gone, maybe his sister Xiangyan could still be in charge of the palace. At that time, he was rich and powerful, had a son, and his husband died. This is really great news.

"If you want to kill it, then kill it." Xiangguo said calmly.

The nonsense is not so light.

Xiao Qian was taken aback.

This is not easy to handle.

"Anyway, he's just a pawn. There are many pawns like him in Xuanguo."

"Are you really the Second Prince, King Lu?"

"Why, I don't look lewd enough?" Xiang Guo asked reflexively.

Xiao Qian pursed his lips, how should he answer those words.

"Although that pawn is useless, if you touch him, it will be the same." Xiang Guoxin sat down beside Xiao Gan.

He was not polite about the good wine and food on the stone table. He tore off a big chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said: "Although your Qixintang is well-known, you can't get on the table after all. You see, this chicken thigh is made of firewood and oil, and the taste is far worse than that of Qingcheng. Also, although there is wine and meat, and no girls, it’s really boring to eat and drink. After all, you are from a remote village. I don't know."

Outright provocation.

The other hall master of Qixintang couldn't sit still on Thursday, and was about to kill Guo Kai with a knife: "I want to see how it can be different after killing that guy who peed his pants."

"The man who pissed his pants represents the imperial court. If you kill him, you are declaring war on the imperial court. To tell you the truth, this time I came to Qixintang without bringing a single soldier."

Guo Kai scolded in his heart, you didn't take a single soldier with you when you died, and you still said it, are you afraid that we will not die fast enough?
"You dare to come to our Qixintang without a single soldier. You look down on our Qixintang. If you are here today, I will kill you, so what?" Thursday slapped the long knife on the stone table. Stepping on a stool.

"It doesn't matter if the three of us die, but behind us are the 40 troops of Xuan Kingdom." Xiang Guoxin drank a glass of wine calmly.

Slowly sat back on Thursday.

"Although you went up to the mountain to be bandits, it was because you were poor. As far as I know, the three of you hall masters all have families, and many of your brothers have wives and children. Your every move is related to thousands of lives. where."

Put your head down on Thursday.

Xiao Qian looked at Xiang Guoxin beside him, dressed in gold and silver, so rich that even the prefect of Changzhou had to fold his hands behind him and wait for him to pour wine.

"The imperial court sent you to suppress the bandits, but you just want to destroy us, tell me when the war will start." The third corps leader, Chen Qi, has some backbone.

"Who said there was going to be a war, I'm here to surrender." Xiang Guoxin took out a yellow scroll, which was the emperor's edict.

The hall masters of Qixintang were a little confused.

The news they inquired was that Guo Zhengchan was going to destroy them, how could it be a surrender?

"What surrender?" asked Thursday.

"Your Majesty knows that it is not easy for you to become bandits for the sake of your wives, children, and children. Besides, although you have become bandits and have done some harm to your neighbors, your majesty is benevolent. Dispute, I want to recruit you, let you do a good job in Changzhou."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and look at the yellow scroll.

Xiang Guoxin spread out the scroll.

Sure enough, it was written in regular script on the scroll that two outstanding corporals could be selected from this group of corporals, and they would be sealed as officials and sealed, one as Changzhou Dianshi and the other as Changzhou Inspector.

Changzhou Dianshi, responsible for handling complaints from the people of Changzhou.

Changzhou inspection, responsible for arresting thieves.

"Although you are seventh-rank, as long as you do well, it is not impossible for you to be sixth-rank, fifth-rank, or first-rank in the future. It is not impossible to become a general or general at that time. As long as you are talented, you will always Shining light, you have lost your talent in this mountain." Xiang Guoxin observed the faces of several people.

The three corporals manage the three or four thousand Qixintang, and they run it in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as talents.

Such an official position is also competent.

The three of them were obviously a little tempted.

Such an opportunity to glorify one's ancestors comes only once in a hundred years. Who wouldn't want to use the imperial salary to do things to glorify the lintel?

"Discuss it carefully. If you are willing to submit to the imperial court, you can find me outside Changzhou City. We have stationed a thousand elite soldiers. The biggest black tent is mine." Xiang Guo looked at Guo Kai heartily.

Guo Cheng was stunned.

The corps leader hurriedly untied the rope on Guo Kai on Thursday: "It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

The master of Qixintang respectfully sent the three of them out.

After ten days or so, someone came to report to the black tent.

It is said that Qi Xintang died on Thursday.

There are three people in Qixintang, and only two official positions. At that time, Xiao Qian, Zhou Si, and Chen Qi discussed for a long time, and then went back to discuss with their respective wives. They said that the two oldest people should be officials. He disagreed, and said that the two younger ones should be appointed as officials. On Thursday, he disagreed, drew lots, said it was unfair, and said that he did not perform well in the martial arts competition. After struggling for several days, he decided to let Xiao Qian and Chen Qi become officials. , I still manage Qixintang on Thursday.

If you don’t want to on Thursday, Xiao Qian and Chen Qi will wash your ass off, and he will still be a bandit. At that time, Qi Xintang will be gone, and he will be called a bandit. The two of them poisoned each other, but they were discovered by their confidantes. They transferred the poisoned wine to Thursday, and Thursday drank the poison he had given himself, and his seven orifices bled to death.

Sorry to say it was internal strife, Qi Xintang said to the outside world that he died suddenly on Thursday.

Xiang Guoxin and Guo Kai went to express their condolences at an appointment.

Thursday died terribly, his face was as purple as an eggplant, and Thursday's wife knelt before the coffin and cried miserably, saying that Thursday was dedicated to Qixintang, but was poisoned to death by them, and took out a stack of bills from her arms They said that they stole and robbed from Xiao Qian's house on Thursday, and always returned it to the public, but Xiao Qian swallowed a lot of it privately. Zhou thought that Xiao Qian was not good at publicizing, but he poisoned him to death for the sake of his future. It's time to die.

Xiang Guoxin put a stack of bills on the lid of Thursday's coffin.

They are all pawn tickets.

There are celadon vases, pearls, and emerald pendants.All of them were pawned as silver, less than 7000 taels.

Good guy, this is all snatched.

But Xiao Qian took it as his own.

The grass bandits below were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill Xiao Gan.

Xiao Qian denied it, saying that Thursday framed the pawn tickets, not his, but Chen Qi's.

Chen Qi was inexplicably charged with this crime, and immediately started a fight with Xiao Qian.

He lost to Xiao Gan and was stabbed to death by Xiao Qian.

It was originally for Thursday, and Chen Qi was also sent away.

On Thursday, my wife knelt down and kowtowed to Xiangguo, but one of them didn't pay attention, and the money she was wearing fell off.

Xiao Qian was shrewd, grabbed the silver and took a look, good guy, official silver.

What happened these days roared through his mind.

First, they used two official positions to make the three corporal leaders fight among themselves, and now they let him accidentally kill Chen Qi.

Before the court started the war, Qi Xintang had already lost two corporal leaders.

Xiao Qian wanted to cut off the head of Zhou Zhou's wife with a knife: "This bitch took money from the court and framed our corporal for stealing Qixintang's property so that we can fight among ourselves. Look." The handwriting, the handwriting soon became blurred, which means that the above words were written not long ago, of course, it was written by Xiang Guoxin.

"Kill him—" Xiao Gan wanted to kill Guo Cheng.

Guo Kai was watching the fun just now, and when he saw Xiao Qian was going to kill him, he was so frightened that he froze: "What do you kill me, he is the prince." Guo Kai was very clever and sold Xiang Guoxin.

"I remember a spies came to report a few days ago, saying that the second prince had a problem with peeing his pants. You are the one who peed his pants, and you are the second prince. You were lying to us from the beginning." Xiao Qian realized that he had been fooled, but Thursday died, and Chen Qi was also cold. If he didn't jump up and resist, he would be the next to die.

"Kill them, don't keep any of them, and avenge the corps leader." Xiao Gan chased them out first, and thousands of little grasshoppers chased them out holding sticks and stones, with black heads and loud slogans.

Guo Kai was the fattest, running last, seeing that Xiao Qian was about to catch up with him, he was so anxious that he clamped his legs against the horse's belly: "Xiang Guoxin, you just run, let them catch me and kill me, so that I can be killed." Your sister is a widow."

"My lord is serious. My sister is still young. When the time comes, the lord will be gone. Just let my sister remarry."

"you--"

"Catch that fat man and reward him with 1000 taels of silver." Xiao Gan held up his knife and chased after Guo Kai's butt.

Seeing that Xiang Guoxin and Guo Kai were being chased to a dead end, there was a cliff in front of them, and there were pursuers after taking a step back. It seemed that there was no way to escape.
