Chapter 240: The Rebellion of Wu Yongdu1

In August of the second year of Tianfu, the Yi Jinjun of Lin'an County, Hangzhou. The original name of this place was Shijing Town. Because Qian Miao, King of Yue, was born here. Later, after Qian Miao was rich and noble, his son changed the hometown where Qian Miao's father lived to Guangyi Township, which was Xunguili, and Shijing Mountain was Yi Jinshan, and his camp was called Yi Jinjun. The ancients said: "If you don't return to your hometown, you will be like walking in the night with your wealth." This is probably what the emperor gave the name.

It was August 5th, and the customs in the countryside in Jiangnan were quite generous. In addition, many relatives stayed in the land, so the officials dared not to ravage. Therefore, the people brought specialties to convenient transportation and exchanged. Over time, those places became the towns that later became the towns, and the government also set up a card to collect taxes. Since Qian Miaoxianqin, they have been quite generous in their hometowns. In addition, many relatives stayed in their places, so the officials dared not to ravage. Therefore, the people are quite rich, so the ruins here

The sun was also very lively. However, the French army was heavily guarded that day, and the important roads were covered with soldiers wearing armor and soldiers. There were many white spots in the mountains not far away. When they approached, they were covered with brocades, emitting a brilliant light in the August sunshine. It turned out that they were the current governor of Liangzhe. Qian Miao, the King of Yue, returned to his hometown to visit. After he built the new Luocheng this time, he was proud and returned to his hometown and had a big banquet for his old man.

A flat land tens of feet in the center of the nobles was used to dry grain for farmers on weekdays. At this time, it had been cleaned up and laid a luxurious brocade blanket. The one sitting in the middle was Qian Miao, the king of Yue, and the one sitting below was his old past. At first, everyone was a little nervous, but later they saw Qian Miao being very interested and not polite, and he also felt a little drunk. A few brave people in the crowd also started to scream in a short while. Qian Miao didn't think it was offended and responded with a smile. For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more enthusiastic.

There was a middle-aged man in the crowd. He was still Qian Miao's uncle who was far away. Seeing Qian Miao's appearance, the question in his heart was itchy and could not bear it anymore. He stood up and asked with the courage to ask, "Sanlang, I just saw that there were a lot of brocades on the brocade mountain. Although it looked beautiful, the forest was not hot or cold. Wouldn't it be useless to lay those brocades?"

Qian Miao smiled proudly: "Uncle Nineteen, do you know that when Zi has given the name Shijing Mountain to Yijin Mountain today, a family has laid brocade today, that is, to meet this name, after the banquet, everyone goes up the mountain and takes it home, which is also considered as Zi's kindness today."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but say shocked: "Sanlang, you're so generous. I'm afraid there are not a few thousand pieces of silk cloth all over the mountain." When everyone on the field heard Qian Miao give such a big gift, they all praised him. For a moment, the "respectful thanks to the emperor for his kindness" and "respect thanks to King Yue for his kindness" were intertwined. Qian Miao gently stroked the short beard under his chin and looked at everything in front of him with a smile.

Since everyone received a generous reward, they felt happy. A few of them had drunk too much. Tu Bai from the village also said it. Several elders in the village were polite, afraid that they would anger Qian Miao, but they were not beautiful. They were hinting that their confidants and nephews helped the few who had drunk a little too much. Qian Miao, who was sitting in the head, saw it clearly, stood up and whispered: "Today, Qian and his old man would have fun, and they would not return drunk, if there was any rudeness." Qian Miao turned around and took off his sword from his waist and handed it to the servant beside him and said: "Everyone is forgiven and there is no guilt."

The servant bowed to take the order, and the elders had to stop seeing this. The people had already drunk a lot, and sat up and moved for a while. The blood circulation in their bodies accelerated, started to jump up, came to the venue, danced and sang the rural tunes of the weekdays. This Jiangnan folk song was originally humorous and interesting. Everyone clapped their hands and made a move. Qian Miao heard the familiar tunes from the past, and on a whim, he danced.

He got up, and came to the stage to dance with everyone, singing, "Sanlang returned home and dressed in brocade clothes, and his fathers came from far away to follow each other. There was no bullfighting, and no one was bully, and a king of Wu and Yue returned with all his horses." Everyone also made songs and joined in concert. Qian Miao sang it three times before he came to the scene. He came to a big tree next to the square and said, "When I was young, I ordered all my friends to be a team under this tree, and there was a law to order it. Today I will sign this tree as 'General in brocade'."

When everyone heard this, they knelt down to thank him. At this moment, someone suddenly came in outside, with a nervous expression. It was Gu Quanwu. He came to Qian Miao's side and whispered: "King, the soldiers of Wu Yongdu who were accompanying the guards were abnormal in their behavior and were surrounding the place. I'm afraid that Xu Wan's plan was a ill-gotten man."

When Qian Miao heard this, his face turned as usual and replied in a low voice: "If Xu Wan changes, we must try to escape and rush back to Hangzhou City, and send troops to protect Luocheng, so as not to have the food and military funds in it be their income, which will be troublesome."

Seeing Qian Miao undergoing such a major change, Gu Quanwu couldn't help but admire him very much and whispered: "It's better for King Qian to pretend to go to the toilet first and choose someone with similar appearance here to delay the moment."

Qian Miao nodded and smiled, "What Cheng Wu said is very much." After saying that, Qian Miao returned to his seat. After a moment, he spoke anxiously and went out. It took a while to come back. At this time, most of the people in the field were already drunk. In addition, it was too late, so it could not tell the authenticity.

After about half an hour, a sudden scream and a swearing sound came from outside the field. After a while, it calmed down. A team of soldiers rushed in. The leader was Xu Wan, the right commander of Wu Yongdu. As soon as he entered the field, he whispered loudly: "There are soldiers in Hangzhou City that are causing chaos, where is the King of Yue?"

The venue was silent, and after a while, someone stood up and replied, "I am here, what a big deal that makes General Xu so panicked."

Xu Wan didn't say much. Two personal soldiers rushed over and took the "Qian Miao" over. When they got closer, they looked at him and saw that the person coming was just a stranger. However, he looked a little similar to Qian Miao's body shape and face, and he just wore the costume of King Yue. Xu Wan shouted in a low voice: "Who are you, where is the king now."

The "Qian Miao" smiled and said, "I am just an ordinary citizen in the army. As for King Qian, I naturally went back to Hangzhou."

"What a Qian Miao, he found traces of this." Xu Wan said hatefully, then stepped forward and asked with a knife, "How long has the King of Yue gone and which road did he go back?"

The man was not afraid and replied with a smile: "How long has the King of Yue gone? Some family knows how long has he been, but they don't tell you. As for which path to take, do you think I will know?"

When Xu Wan saw that the man was rude and was about to draw his sword to intimidate him, Xu Wan reached out to his hand rail and said, "Forget it, since this man dared to stay Li Daitaozun, he is naturally not afraid of death. Besides, there are mostly mountains around him, and it is dark now. Qian Miao is a local, and he is familiar with geography, so he is afraid he can't catch up." Xu Wan said this, pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "Come, send a messenger to General Xu's side to inform Qian Miao that he had left and set fire to the city immediately."

His personal soldiers immediately took the order and left. Xu Wan turned around and walked out quickly. He came to the brigade of military Yongdu soldiers who were on standby, jumped onto the war horse and shouted: "The whole army is moving forward, target, Hangzhou City!"

It was already late at night in Hangzhou, but the Wu Yongdu barracks outside the city were in full swing. Thousands of soldiers were wearing armor and holding swords, and were neatly tied, as if waiting for some order. In the tent, the left commander of the Wu Yongdu, Xu Zaisi, sat in the middle, and the generals and officials were all wearing heavy armor and stood on both sides. At this time, a sudden burst of yelling and scolding came from outside the tent: "General Xu, what are you doing? Why are the entire army on guard, but I hide my army commander in the dark."

As he spoke, a man incompletely clothed and armored rushed out of the tent. He obviously suddenly came, even the armor was used to wear. It was Wu Zhang, the military commander of Wu Yong, appointed by Qian Miao. This person was Qian Miao's confidant. Wu Yong, who was placed in this place, was the former subordinate of Sun Ru, who was supervising the actions of the generals and could write letters to Qian Miao and report them secretly, with great power.

Xu Zaisi was very calm and replied with a smile: "Don't be angry at the military supervisor. The king went out to travel to the Yijin Army. As the commander of the Neiya Army, he naturally had the responsibility to welcome the marquis. The soldiers were guarded for the purpose of preparing for the waiting."

"Don't bully me, the king will naturally have a messenger to report in advance. Besides, how many soldiers and horses are needed to welcome the king, it is necessary to keep thousands of soldiers wearing armor on guard. I think you are clearly planning to be ill-gotten."

Xu Zaisi was not angry when she heard Wu Zhang say this, and suddenly burst into laughter. Seeing Xu Zaisi like this, Wu Zhang was anxious and angry, pointing his halberd finger at Xu Zaisi and shouting: "Xu Zaisi, you have gathered soldiers privately, have a bad intention, come, take him down quickly, I will report to the King of Yue tomorrow, and there will be a reward."

Wu Zhang shouted two or three times, but the generals and officials who were as gentle as sheep were motionless all around him, but their eyes were very strange, as if they were looking at a madman. When Wu Zhang saw this, he felt a chill oozing out of his bones. He shouted and walked towards the tent, trying to find a mistake to escape. At this moment, someone rushed into the tent. It was Xu Zaisi's nephew Xu Wuji, who ignored Wu Zhang and told his uncle above: "General Xu Wan's messenger has arrived, and Qian Miao is on his way back to Hangzhou. Let us set fire to the city immediately."

Wu Zhang seemed to be hit by a blow on the head and collapsed on the ground. Xu Zaisihuo stood up and shouted: "All the generals obeyed the orders and set fire to the outer city according to the pre-court, and led Qian Miao's personal soldiers guarding the inner city to come out to rescue them. They defeated them in one fell swoop. Tell them that those who killed Qian Miao's head would be appointed as the governor of the State of Zhejiang. After the city was broken, I only need this Hangzhou city, and my children and silk belonged to them."

The generals took the order one after another. Outside the tent, there were a burst of cheers from the soldiers of the brave soldiers outside the tent. It was particularly terrifying to hear it in the dark. At this time, Wu Zhang was scared and kept kowtowing on the ground. He didn't even dare to say a word of begging for mercy, for fear of angering Xu Zaisi.

"Uncle, how do you deal with this person?"

Xu Zaisi looked at Wu Zhang lazily and said with a smile: "Before sending troops, I will always take something to sacrifice the flag. It's better to let this waste take some effect. Besides, killing this person can also show the soldiers that there is no intention to retreat."

When Wu Zhang heard the verdict of him, he immediately collapsed on the ground, unable to even have the idea of ​​resisting. He immediately two personal soldiers came in and dragged him out.

At the camp gate of Wuyongdu, a group of soldiers were coming out in a row and heading towards Hangzhou City not far away. Next to the camp gate, a big flag was shaking under the night wind. A head was hanging on the wooden pole next to it. It was Wu Zhang, who had just been used to sacrifice the flag, and blood was dripping from his head. This was the first drop of blood that night, but it was definitely not the last drop.
