Chapter 21 Hou Cheng seizes the camp
At the same time, Hou Cheng came to the barracks with more than a dozen people with Taishou's documents. Hou Cheng wanted to completely control the barracks before the county magistrate did anything. In this way, even if the county magistrate wanted to rebel, it would be too late.
When Hou Cheng brought people to the barracks, he saw a team of carriages coming out at the door of the small camp. From the deep ruts, Hou Cheng had seen that the things in the car were not simple. Hou Cheng thought to himself: What kind of barracks is this? It's like a warehouse. It's just the goods in this warehouse. I don't know who owns them?
Although Hou Cheng felt strange, he didn't have much to do. He must have more important things to do now. So Hou Cheng walked straight to the barracks.
The soldiers at the gate of the barracks watched Hou Cheng bring people over. Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't dare to come up to stop him. He quickly turned around and ran into the barracks.
When Hou Cheng saw the soldier running in to report the news, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He pointed to the soldiers he brought and said, "You help me guard the gate of this camp and don't let anyone leave. The violator is on the spot, the law.
These soldiers who were left behind hurriedly answered, "Yes."
After saying that, Hou Chengyi turned around and stood at the gate of the camp. The soldier from Jiuyuan County said, "You, take me to see the commander in your camp."
The soldier saw Hou Cheng coming and was wearing the costume of a county soldier. How dare he say no. He bowed his head and said, "Yes."
After saying that, the soldier took the soldiers brought by Hou Cheng and Hou Cheng and went straight to the tent of the barracks.
At this time, in the big tent of the Jiuyuan County military camp, a fat-headed and big-eared officer was eating wine with a girl in his arms. Hearing the report of the soldiers running in at the gate of the camp, I was first shocked. Then he shouted at the soldier who reported the news, "You can see it clearly. Is that man the son of the new Lord of Wuyuan County?"
The soldier who ran in to report the news, just came in to report it because the situation was wrong. How could he know who the other party was? Hearing the officer's question, the soldier hesitated and said, "Your Excellency, the little one is very powerful and wears the equipment of the county soldiers. As for who is coming, the villain doesn't know.
The official took a hard look at it. The soldier who reported the letter said, "You go to the county magistrate immediately and come with Mr. Xu You."
Looking at the soldier rushing out of the camp door in a hurry, the officer hurriedly dressed neatly and greeted him at the camp gate.
As soon as the officer came out of the big account, he happened to meet Hou Cheng, who was on the way. As soon as Hou Cheng saw the officer's costume, he knew that the man in front of him was the chief officer of the barracks. Hou Chenglue arched his hand and said to the officer, "I was ordered to take over the barracks. Please cooperate with me."
When the officer heard that Hou Cheng was going to take over the barracks, he was willing to do it. He smiled a few times and said, "Your Excellency, what are you talking about? What a noble man you are. Why do you have to do these vulgar things?"
Hou Cheng saw that this man was unwilling to cooperate, and he wanted to kill the owner of the barracks in front of him.
But Hou Cheng thought, even if he really killed the person in front of him, could he control the barracks? Hou Cheng felt that if he killed the man in front of him with a knife, he might not only not be able to control the barracks, but also likely to cause mutiny. The children on the grassland have always been soft but not hard.
Thinking of this, Hou Cheng laughed. Hou Cheng adjusted his tone. He said to the officer, "I'm Mr. Lv, who sat down and Hou Chengshi. I came to reward the three armies at the order of the prince, and gave it to the Qing Dynasty for his convenience."
As soon as the officer heard that he was here to reward the three armies, he was originally nervous and suddenly relaxed. It's just that he asked Hou Cheng with some uneassurance, "Since Shangguan is here to reward the three armies, how can he say that he wants to take over the three armies?"
After that, he turned his eyes, thought for a little, and said with a smile, "Don't panic, my lord. This is what our salary means. Our son said that Jiuyuan County is an important place for soldiers. People with outstanding ability must control the army in order to benefit the people. So my son asked me to test your courage before rewarding the three armies. I don't think you can blame my son.
The officer was relieved when he heard Hou Cheng's deception. The horse ordered a banquet to be arranged for Hou Cheng and his party.
Hou Cheng dared to delay the time and hurriedly declined: "Your excellency should gather the soldiers of the three armies first. It's not too late for us to finish our business and then drink. Today, I will definitely share the drinking capacity with you." With that, Hou Cheng made a man's unique smile.
As soon as the officer heard this, he understood what Hou Cheng meant. He patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. I'm happy. How can I forget the big thing?"
After saying that, the officer quickly asked all the soldiers in the battalion to gather on the campus.
Hou Cheng came to the school yard and looked at a group of strong men who gathered about 500 people on the campus. Hou Cheng shouted, "Gentlemen and soldiers, I am Mr. Lv Bu and sit down. By the order of the new Wuyuan Taishou Ding Yuan Ding, he came to Jiuyuan County to recruit young and strong soldiers to serve the country and recover the rivers and mountains to fight against external humiliation. You are all good men of my Han Dynasty, the eagles on the grassland. Would you like to kill the Hufu with me and avenge the villagers who have died in the hands of foreigners over the years?
As soon as Hou Cheng's words fell, a group of soldiers on the school field shouted, "Yes, yes, yes."
Seeing the excitement of the group, Hou Cheng was proud and said secretly, "Sure enough, the military heart can be used."
However, when Hou Cheng turned around and looked at the officer. The officer's face is not very good.
The officer smiled at Hou Cheng and said, "The banquet among the officers is ready. Your excellency should enter the table quickly."
Hearing that the officer wanted to sit down, Hou Cheng was very happy.
In fact, it has been seen that the officer will not hand over his military power. Then the only way is to get rid of the officer. But Hou Cheng can't kill people in public. In that case, Hou Cheng is not sure that he can control the situation. But if it comes to the military account. Ha ha, that's different.
Thinking of this, Hou Cheng said to the soldiers in the school field: "Everyone has worked hard in Jiuyuan County over the years. Lord Taishou knows everyone's hard work, so this time he specially sent his son Lv Bu to reward the three armies. Don't be impatient, everyone. Wait for a moment in this school, and we will distribute the reward.
When the soldiers below heard that there was a reward, they all became excited as if they had beaten chicken blood. They all stood in the middle of the school yard.
At this time, Hou Cheng turned to the barracks officer on one side and said, "Your excellency, we might as well invite the chief officers in the camp to have a bar together. When the prince's people send the reward money, how about we reward the three armies?
The officer, looking at where Hou Cheng gave a speech, had already sweated. Although he would not give the military power to Hou Cheng, he did not want to have a rigid relationship with Hou Cheng. It must be that Hou Cheng was sent from above. Although he may not be able to do anything to him, there has been a lot of oil and water in Jiuyuan County in recent years. If you have money, you will cherish your life. If you can offend less people, you will be less offended, and harmony will make money.
The officer thought so, and happened to meet Hou Chengxiang and asked, how could he disagree? He hurriedly gathered all the chief officers and ate wine in his army commander.
When approaching the military tent, Hou Cheng winceed at the two soldiers behind him. The two soldiers inadvertently guarded the door of the tent.
In the big tent, the officer was about to enter the table with a group of generals in the barracks. Hou Cheng stood in the tent first and looked at the eight generals in front of him and shouted, "My son was ordered to come to Jiuyuan County to summon Xiang Yong, and I, Hou Cheng, took over the barracks under the order of my son. What do you think?" With that, Hou Cheng took out the recruitment document and shook it in front of everyone, but he didn't mean to let everyone have a look.
There was a clever general who saw that the situation was not good and wanted to rush out of the account, but was blocked by Hou Cheng's soldiers.
The chief officer in the camp saw that Hou Cheng was going to be real this time. He lamented, "I didn't want to be your son, but you forced me like this. It seems that the subordinate has to be rude. Don't you know what it means: 'The strong dragon does not oppress the ground snake'? With these people under your hands, do you really think I can't help you?"
