Chapter 189: To Be Arrogant
"Dare to provoke me, it seems that my reputation is not loud enough." Zhang Yu's face was full of murderous looks, thinking in his mind.
"Send someone to recruit the surrounding troops, don't go to Luoyang now, and destroy these bandits first."
Zhang Yu's anger has already made him want to wipe out all the bandits. To move his road construction team is to move his lifeblood, which is his biggest enemy at present.
Zhang Yu sent several people out to look for it.
More than an hour later, the soldiers came to report.
"My lord, General Huang brought people here, and encountered bandits who escaped on the road, and they have already been wiped out by General Huang and the others."
It turned out that it was Huang Zhong who was active around here. Huang Zhong started to act when he received the soldiers sent by Zhang Yu. On the way, he encountered bandits who escaped, so Huang Zhong shot them down and took their lair. , and then came to join Zhang Yu.
"My lord."
"Han Sheng, how many troops do you have?" Zhang Yu asked as soon as they met.
"My subordinates only brought 500 cavalry, but there are another 500 cavalry nearby, and another 1,000 infantry is a day's journey away from here." Huang Zhong replied.
It really doesn't take a lot of people to deal with these bandits who don't have much training and don't have many weapons.
"By the way, my lord, we captured the leader of the gang of bandits, and that man confessed that someone paid them to kill these road construction workers, and they would pay one thousand dollars for each one killed." Huang Zhong said.
"What!" Zhang Yu said in shock and anger: "Damn it, it's like this. If anyone confesses, I will destroy them."
Zhang Yu didn't expect that there was such a secret in this incident.
"The confession came out. It was the Zheng family in the county more than ten miles away from here. It was a servant of the Zheng family who contacted them. We only found a large amount of prepaid money in the bandit's lair." Huang Zhong said.
"Okay, let's talk to them and send someone to investigate right away," Zhang Yu said.
At dawn, another news came that the servants of the Zheng family had been arrested.
In order to clear the relationship, the Zheng family did not have any core personnel involved in this matter, but sent a servant to contact these bandits.
But this has nothing to do with it at all, Zhang Yu has no evidence, and it is absolutely useless to sue the Zheng family.
But Zhang Yu didn't tell, it's useless to go to court in this era.
"You dare to collude with bandits, then let you taste what it's like to be robbed by bandits." Zhang Yu said.
"Han Sheng, I want you to pretend to be a bandit and steal the Zheng family, but you should pay attention to a few points." Zhang Yu said to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong straightened his face, and said solemnly: "My lord, please give me instructions."
"Women and children will not be killed, surrender will not be killed, irrelevant personnel will not be killed, only a few culprits will be killed. In addition, all property of the Zheng family must be confiscated. It would be better if we can ask if other people participated." Zhang Yu said.
"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate knows what to do."
Isn't it just robbery? It's not the first time Zhang Yu and the others have done it.
Huang Zhong quickly went to do it, but two hours later he reported back that the Zheng family heard something and everyone moved to the county seat.
"Hmph, do you think you can't do anything about hiding in the county seat?" Zhang Yu said angrily.
If you dare to provoke him, you will never let him go.
"Attention the whole army, there are a large group of bandits in Dang County, follow me to exterminate them." Zhang Yu said to the remaining soldiers.
So Zhang Yu took five hundred soldiers and their transport team to the county seat.
On the way, I ran into Dian Wei who was coming to join us.
Dian Wei came with a thousand infantry.
At this time Zhang Yu saw this army, and there was an unconcealable evil spirit on his body, and he knew at a glance that he had killed many people in more than two months.
"My lord, I heard that there are a large group of bandits. Where are they? Go down and screw their heads off." Dian Wei shouted loudly as soon as he arrived.
"You are the one to fight the battle, so let me teach someone a lesson first." Zhang Yu said.
Dian Wei immediately organized the team and joined Zhang Yu's team.
Dang County is only a dozen miles away from Zhang Yu and the others, and they will arrive soon.
Zhang Yu and the others appeared outside Dang County,
Let the guard of the county seat be very nervous, and urgently reported to the county magistrate.
"Lord County Magistrate, Zhang Yu's army is outside the city, and they want us to open the city gate, so go and have a look." The guard said when he arrived at the county government.
"Could it be that Zhang Yu discovered something? No, the second brother sent a servant to go there, so what if he finds something."
The county magistrate's surname is Zheng, who is the elder brother of the head of the Zheng family. He was also involved in this matter, so he immediately became nervous when he received the report.
"He, Zhang Yu, has no evidence. I'll see what he can do." Magistrate Zheng felt much more at ease when he said that.
"Come on, follow me to the city gate and see what Zhang Yu wants to do." County magistrate Zheng said.
So the two rushed to the top of the city.
Looking from the top of the city, Zhang Yu and his 1,500 people had already lined up, making an appearance of attacking.
"Hiss~" County magistrate Zheng took a breath and said, "What the hell is Zhang Yu going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
Seeing Zhang Yu in an attacking state, he couldn't help thinking of Zhang Yu's past achievements.
Zheng County Magistrate's biggest reliance is that Zhang Yu dare not do anything, after all, this is no longer his Kuaiji County.
"Zhang Yu, what are you going to do with your soldiers besieging the county? Are you going to rebel?" County Magistrate Zheng shouted.
Zhang Yu saw the waiting Lord appeared and said: "You are the county magistrate, so you can talk. I got the information that there are a lot of bandits hidden in the city, and I came here to exterminate them."
"You're spitting blood, and the county is peaceful under the governance of this official, so there are no bandits there," Zheng County Magistrate said.
"Whether there is, I will find out when I go in and look for it." Zhang Yu said as a matter of course.
Zhang Yu's words were extremely arrogant, and he didn't take Zheng County Magistrate seriously at all.
"Even if there are bandits, I will clear them up by myself, and it's not your turn, Mr. Zhang." County magistrate Zheng said impatiently and forcefully.
"As the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, the general is patrolling the entire Yangtze River basin. If there is banditry here, it will naturally be wiped out. I also ask the county magistrate to open the city gate immediately." Zhang Yu said.
County magistrate Zheng was stunned, of course he knew that Zhang Yu had this official position.
It's just that the rank of this official position is very small, and its powers are unknown.
Now that Zhang Yu said that he wanted to suppress the bandits, magistrate Zheng didn't know how to deal with it.
"My lord Zhang, there are no bandits in this county. Please lead your troops away quickly so as not to disturb the order here. If you don't leave quickly, I will play a memorial to the court and read your book." County magistrate Zheng has a ghost in his heart. , Naturally dare not let Zhang Yu in.
"County magistrate, I forgot to ask your last name, but it's okay not to ask. I will ask you one last time, whether to open it or not. If you don't open it, I will suspect that you are colluding with bandits, so I will break in." Zhang Yu said. .
"you you you..."
County magistrate Zheng trembled with anger, is Zhang Yu so arrogant?
It's fine to ignore him, and he directly issued an ultimatum, and even threatened to attack the county.
