Chapter 169 Surrender (End)

The distance is too far, and everyone in the county government is always concerned about the movement outside.

It's all right for Wang Zheng to kill the county monarch. Although everyone is saddened by the death of a rabbit and a fox, they are not too touched because they have expected it.

But it's hard work.
But it makes everyone silent like a chilling cicada, and their courage is scattered.

In particular, the thief deliberately blocked Gongcao's mouth so that he could not let out a scream to vent his pain a little.
When some people on the wall saw the completely distorted face of their colleagues, they even faintly heard some muffled humming intermittently.
But it was more intrusive than that shrill scream.

Thinking that he might end up in the same way in the near future, some people already thought that if the thieves captured the county government, they would know their own lives and seek happiness.

After all, everyone knows that Linyi's city gates can't stop the bandits, so how can the earthen walls of this mere county government block the bandits' footsteps?

In such a situation, under the panic of the people, it is not that no one has thought of surrendering.

It's just that everyone in the county government has the same idea as the captives outside. No one is willing to take the lead in following the thief and carrying out the stigma of being greedy for life and afraid of death.

Second, at this time, all the soldiers of the Tianzhu camp had gathered, and everyone could clearly see the strength of the thief.

There are only more than 2000 yellow scarves?
Although with this kind of people, Linyi was attacked directly, and Linyi's city defense army was helpless. Everyone who saw it knew that this group of yellow scarf bandits was indeed fierce, far from being comparable to ordinary rebels.

However, people are still not very optimistic.

You must know that the county magistrate has already sent sentry cavalry to Kaiyang and even the East China Sea to ask for help from the prefect and Zhou Mu.

Although the Xuzhou army had just been defeated by Cao Cao, and tens of thousands of soldiers were directly wiped out, there are still [-] to [-] officers and soldiers in the entire Xuzhou area today.

Everyone knows about Kaiyang alone, but there are more than 1 elites.

If after a few days, the Kaiyang army came to Yi to smash the thieves, what would happen to them.
I'm afraid it won't be too good.

With such and such worries, the desperate people are still hesitating
It was just that after Miao Lin called the names one by one, everyone who looked at each other could see each other's thoughts.

Even if you die a few days later, it is better than dying now.

Besides, there are only two thousand yellow scarf thieves, so there are still one hundred thousand refugees?

With so many people, it's not impossible to stay in the city for a month or two, right?

Then they will live the same amount of time.

Besides, it was Miao Lin who really took the lead in surrendering anyway. Even if the Japanese army defeated these rebels in the future, their servants would send some money and entrust someone to intercede, surely they wouldn't end up too dismal, right?

In the process of sorting out all the pros and cons, the yamen compound fell into silence.

People have the same heart, and the heart has the same reason.

All that is missing now is a leader.

Thinking of this, everyone is looking at me and I looking at you, it seems that they are planning to make others speak.

In the end, all eyes turned to a handsome middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was Dong Yong, the prime minister of Linyi County, who was also the first person Miao Lin called.

Made!See what I'm doing?
Cursing secretly, Dong Yong felt helpless, since the county lord died, he is now the person with the highest official position in Linyi.

At such a critical juncture, it is emotional and reasonable. If he does not speak up, it seems that it is difficult for others to take the initiative to mention "following the thief".

It really can't be dragged on anymore.

Looking at the eager eyes of the crowd, he looked up at the sky again, thinking of how simply Wang Zheng killed the county king and Gong Cao, Dong Yong was also worried that the other party would get impatient and attack the county government directly.

At that time, it may be too late to think about surrendering.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Yong coughed dryly and glanced at the staff beside him.

The staff understood, rolled their eyes, and said:
"Everyone, in fact, since the thief defeated Zhuge Chan, the county lord has already made preparations, anticipating the predicament we are in!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and even Dong Yong looked at his staff in astonishment.

What?And this?

This kind of reaction was also expected by the staff. He stared at the crowd, raised his hands in vain, and looked outside, with a heavy expression on his face:
"That day, the county lord had a secret conversation with my lord. The thieves were powerful. The county lord said in his heart that if the city were to be destroyed, he would be duty-bound. Since he was ashamed of the high expectations of the emperor and the state shepherd, he would naturally die in the city! "

Talk to me?

Dong Yong's eyes became more and more confused, but he was not stupid enough to ask directly. Even if he was confused, he instinctively nodded to the gaze that turned to him, expressing that his words were true.

The staff said again: "Just now the county monarch was fearless and generous to die, but it is exactly what he said that day."

Hearing this, those who lacked flexibility were puzzled and even a little ashamed.

But some clever minds, with a flash of light, roughly guessed the intention of the staff.

Sure enough, when it came to this, the staff suddenly changed the subject:
"However, the county lord also knows the disposition of the princes. They are all loyal and not afraid of death. He has also specifically spoken to my lord."

The staff paused, looked around the crowd, and suddenly became passionate:
"If we are like the county king and would rather die than surrender, the yellow scarf bandits and beasts will definitely anger the people of Linyi and kill us!"

"You gentlemen!"

Speaking of this, the staff suddenly bowed to each other with a crying voice:

"For the sake of the people of Linyi, please endure the humiliation for the time being and make false claims with the thieves."

"As soon as the army from our county arrives, we will cooperate inside and outside to wipe out these rebels!"

Talent!
At this time, no matter how stupid the person was, he understood the staff's plan, and all looked over with admiration.

Throwing the pot on a dead person, wonderful!

In this way, we surrendered in the name of the county lord, and we have even more high-sounding reasons.

From a thief, is that because you are afraid of death?
wrong!
That is for the safety of my people in Linyi!
This is a helpless move, we are still loyal, and we are always ready to set things right!

"The county lord is really well-intentioned." At this time, Ting Yu Guan Liao thought for a while, stroked his beard and said:
"I don't know if there is a letter as evidence?"

This is to remind the staff that when they come to the prefect in the future, they must guard against their words being unfounded.

The staff was stunned, rolled their eyes, and said quickly: "Of course there are."

As he said that, he said to a young man beside him: "Young Mansion Zhao, please go to the county lord's study to get it."

The young man looked over in surprise.

I don't know where the letter is, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to get it yourself?
The next moment, seeing the meaningful expression in the staff's eyes, the young man suddenly realized, slapped his head, and hurriedly said:

"Okay, I'll go get it now."

Looking at the figure leaving in a hurry, Ting Yu, the county magistrate and the three staff members looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Shaofu has the same interests as the county lord, and has a good personal relationship, but he knows the other party's handwriting very well.

What's more, it is often heard that this person is quite good at copying, with exquisite skills.

When the stamped document with the copper seal nose button was displayed in front of everyone, everyone pretended not to see the ink marks that hadn't fully dried, but kept observing the handwriting, and then nodded.

"Not bad, quite similar."

As soon as a person spoke, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. Looking at the staring eyes of everyone, he quickly laughed a few times, and justified himself:

"Hey, Mr. Xian's calligraphy... it looks more and more like Zhang Pingzi's style."

"Speak carefully!" The county magistrate pointed at him coldly, then carefully put the letter into his arms, then the prophet straightened his clothes, and then shouted:
"Quickly open the door and welcome the loyal teacher who is on the side of the Qing emperor!"

"Yes, yes, open it!"

Seeing a group of Linyi officials and nobles come out with natural smiles, looking to welcome Master Wang, Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Amazing, you guys are so unrestrained.

At this moment, he secretly let out a long breath in his heart.

Even if these people were only temporarily surrendered due to coercion, no matter what, it was a good start to finally have the first batch of civil servants and wealthy families under their command.

It is not in vain that I have worked so hard, and I have waited so long.
Looking at the sky at this time was gloomy and the moon was high, Wang Zheng shook his head, and strode into the Yamen amidst the crowd's welcome.

I had just chatted with a few people casually, and when I was halfway down the road, my footsteps suddenly stopped.

Seeing that the eyes of the young man who dominates the whole city will stop in mid-air, the county magistrate and others look at each other in blank dismay, all puzzled.

Why did you stop suddenly?
The next moment, Wang Zheng smiled.

"Wu Sheng, go and prepare to meet our army." He turned his head and instructed the chief.

"Should be arriving in Linyi soon."

Just now, a line of light blue text suddenly appeared on the system's panel.

That's [-] new experience points.

This is the acquisition of the other three celestial armies who had previously divided their troops to attack the city, but it was only displayed at this time, but it did not mean that they had just broken through the city.

But
One of the troops is galloping towards their home at this moment, and the distance is not too far away.

I don't know if it's Xu Fang or Yu Jin?
