Chapter 77 Leave
In the early morning of the second day, when the sun began to rise, the main battalion from the city lined up in a long queue and set off towards the mountains in the east.

"Muzhi, you really drink a lot. Last night you drank at least one jug, and you got up so early today?" Wang Er was in a good mood, and he was holding a brown horse with a smile. It was Liu Ze yesterday. The one he caressed, "Brother travels far away, and you have no transportation, this horse will be given to you!"

Seeing that Liu Ze was about to decline again, Wang Er put the rein in Liu Ze's hands straight away: "It's all my fault that my elder brother is too poor, and I don't even have many decent horses. I couldn't sleep after thinking about it all night, but you gave me the county seat?" There is nothing else to ask, it is really my brother, come, come, don't refuse. Take it!"

Liu Ze was no longer pretentious, he held the horse and clasped his fists and said, "Second brother, take care, this county is not easy to guard, and we need to make early plans."

"I used to have an old relationship with Wang Jiayin of Fugu, and soon I will join forces with him, if my brother also joins us, I will be happy!"

The first batch of rebels who were registered by the Ming army can't escape, so keep a little distance, Liu Ze passed by after a haha: "Second brother farewell! Take care!"

Seeing Liu Ze's team drifting away, someone came over beside Wang Er and said, "Second brother, we have checked the county storehouses, and they are all empty, and the grain stores in the city have also been emptied by Liu Ze." There is no food in this city, and the remaining 3000 people who have not left with Liu Ze also have no food, what should we do?"

Wang Youyuan clapped his hands and laughed, "We knew Liu Muzhi wasn't so stupid. Look, he threw us three thousand mouths and an empty city! Haha."

Several bosses nearby also responded after hearing this, scolding Liu Ze for being insidious, they probably misunderstood, thinking that Wang Youyuan also hated Liu Ze.

But Wang Er was very calm. He knew that Liu Ze brothers were not stupid people. He kept proposing to give Yijun County to him yesterday, so he guessed it roughly: "It's okay, there is still food in the army, wait for Yu Ting Brother’s food team can come, it’s a great favor for them to send us a city, otherwise we wouldn’t have this foothold, Chengcheng can’t stay anyway, so don’t talk strange things in the future.”

"Yes!" The few people who spoke strange words responded in low voices, but there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in their tone, and only Wang Youyuan who was on the side was still smiling, as if watching the excitement.

In the courtyard of the Tongzhou government office, there are heavily armed soldiers guarding all the gates.

Liu Yingyu changed into a big red gown with a collar and narrow sleeves, and sat in the hall wearing a black gauze hat. The generals and staff on the left and right stood on both sides, breathing softly, not daring to make the slightest noise. It is already late at night, and he should be at home at this time Sleeping soundly, but Shangguan summoned, no one dared to complain.

"Sit down!" Liu Yingyu took a sip of tea, and all the surrounding officials sat down in response, making the sound of rubbing armor and sleeves.

"It's a big deal to call everyone here so late. The sentry sent out to Chengcheng recently failed to report the details of the city. As a result, my newly trained army dared not send troops easily. But today there are righteous men in the city who came back from the dark and turned to the bright. , come on! Bring it up!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on both sides immediately shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Bring righteous men!"

A row of soldiers at the door also shouted loudly to the back: "Bring righteous men!" The voice faded away, but it was still clearly recognizable in the hall.

Guo Shunwang was sitting in the signing room and waiting at this time. He had washed up in the yamen and changed into new clothes, but this still couldn't cover up his wounds and fatigue. Yu Ting was interrogated and asked about Liu Ze's various behaviors and practices in Majiazhai, as well as various rules and regulations in Liu Ze's army. I didn't become an officer, so I only know about soldiers in the army.

Every interrogation, as long as the answer is half a minute late, it will be a good beating, especially Yu Chou must come every time, never absent, sometimes even if the answer is too fast, he will be criticized and whipped a few times, not to mention Guo Shunwang doesn't understand many things at all, so he can only make half-truths and half-false nonsense, making it seem like it's okay, if he makes too much of it, if Yu Ting and Yuchou find out their flaws, it will definitely be another severe beating. After the beating, Guo Shunwang basically had no good flesh on his body. It was either broken skin or bruised and purple scars, and there were many invisible internal injuries.

Just when Guo Shunwang had given up hope of survival, there was a slight moaning sound from outside the prison last night, and the moaning sound disappeared soon.

Not long after, there was a voice, "Brother Shunwang, we are here to save you!"

Turning his head, he saw that there were a few people with lameness. The two guards in the cell were lying on the crossing, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. Soon someone took out the key from the guard's belt and opened the cell door. They hung a rope from the top of the city overnight and walked down. Guo Shunwang hung himself and crawled for a long time, and finally escaped with his life. After asking the lame man, he found out that the six of them had already sneaked away and hid in the rich mansion in the city. .

Taking advantage of the chaos and people coming and going in the city these few days, they realized that both Liu Ze and Wang Er had gone to Yijun County, and now there were only a few hundred soldiers left in the city. The Ting team accidentally found out that Guo Shunwang was being held in the county prison, so they came to rescue him in the middle of the night and planned to join the army together.

"Are you that righteous man named Guo Shunwang?" Two soldiers came in and looked Guo Shunwang up and down and asked.

"The villain is Guo Shunwang." Guo Shunwang stood up and cupped his hands, but he accidentally got involved in the wound on his body, and grinned and groaned a few times.

"Do you have a knife?"

"No."

The two soldiers didn't believe it either, they went forward and searched up and down, and then led him straight to the back office.

Liu Ying met Guo Shunwang in the hall, stroked his bushy beard and said, "Tell me the news you heard again."

"The villain Guo Shunwang, who was originally from Chengcheng, was coerced by the bandit army to join the gang, and then he heard that the army was coming, so he desperately wanted to bring a few conscientious brothers to join the army, and he has reported to the court for his kindness in nurturing him. . . ”

"Get to the point!" Liu Yingyu patted the table while listening to his endless prelude.

Guo Shunwang was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly picked up the key points, he didn't want to be whipped and boarded or something: "There are only a few hundred old and weak bandits in Chengcheng, and the bandit leader Wang Er and Liu Ze led a large team to kill them." I went to Yijun County, and I begged you to avenge the unjust deaths of the people all over the city!"

All the officials in the hall were shocked: "What? Yijun County?"

"Exactly, that bandit has three or four thousand young men. The villain is willing to join the army to serve the country, wipe out this bandit, and give the common people a bright and sunny day."

"Okay, our army is short of manpower for the new construction, and you will be the squadron leader of our army, and you will be promoted after you have made merit." Liu Yingyu waved his big hand and was about to leave the hall.

"Thank you sir for cultivating!"

Guo Shunwang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, because he was so excited that his nose bubbles came out. If the adults were not still in the hall, he really wanted to stand up and dance. He felt that he was finally seen by others. There are only 12 people, but he is also the entire army. From now on, he will no longer be looked down upon by Liu Ze and the others.
