Chapter 19 - Chapter 1178 Tongcheng

Chapter 1178 Tongcheng

Tongcheng has been sealed off, and on the day the city was built and slaughtered, one hundred thousand soldiers from Duanmu Anguo arrived one after another, carrying a mysterious thing, and began to step up their deployment around the outside of the city.

No one knew what those things were. They only saw those soldiers digging the ground like plowing fields, and then buried those things in, and then closed the city gate. No one in the city was allowed to go out. A checkpoint was also set up at five miles away, and no one could get any closer.

At that time, the news of Jiancheng's massacre had not yet reached Tongcheng, nor had the news of Jiancheng's well water problems reached Tongcheng. People only knew that Zong Sui had started a war with Dashun, and the city was closed to ensure their safety. , there was no surprise, let alone too much resistance. Although life has become less convenient, life is still more important than being disturbed by war.

But it didn't last for a few days, but somehow, even though the gate of the city was closed, the news from the other side of Jiancheng still spread to Tongcheng without going the other way.

This moment caused an uproar in Tongcheng, and for a while, the panic of massacre spread throughout Tongcheng, and it became a topic that people must talk about. Soon, the heat of the massacre of the city had not dissipated, and the news that Duanmu Anguo had thrown walking corpse powder into the well also spread, causing another wave of panic while the people were still in shock.

The people dare not drink the water in the well, but they can't die of thirst. Many people think of the big river outside the city. The big river flowing from south to north is wide and deep, and the water is extremely clear. In summer, go to the river to drink water, and the water can be drunk when scooped up, as sweet as a mountain spring.

River water is running water. A doctor from a medical center told everyone that flowing running water cannot be poisoned. Even if it is poisoned, it doesn't matter. So people wanted to go to the big river outside the city to fetch water to drink, and some wealthy families directly set up cars with many large wooden barrels on the car, preparing to transport water to the mansion one by one.

However, Tongcheng is closed and no one can get out. There were 100,000 soldiers from Duanmu Anguo who personally guarded the city, and all the officers and soldiers who used to defend the city of Tongcheng were taken away. The people couldn't get out of the city, and they were so angry that they cursed Duanmu Anguo, but the soldiers just kept guarding the city gate as if they didn't hear it.

The people were helpless, and they all gathered at the gate of Zhizhou Mansion to beat drums for help.

In the past few days, Zhizhou Tian Ping was also worried about the water source, and he went to negotiate with Duanmu Anguo's soldiers several times, but unfortunately they all returned without success. Now that the common people are enraged, they surrounded Zhizhou Mansion, Tian Ping had no choice but to face those soldiers again.

This time, Tian Ping was also angry. Because people in Zhizhou Prefecture also dare not drink the water in the well. After all, thinking of the horror of the walking corpse, it is almost colder than the poisonous medicine, even if the soldiers guarantee that the well water in Tongcheng is really dry Any problem, people are still worried.

Tian Ping pointed at the leading lieutenant general and shouted angrily: "Since the well water is said to be fine, well, your personal soldiers go to test the water first, and you have to drink a sip of every well in this city. Only the people dare to drink it!" He was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he couldn't help but say a few more words: "The 300,000 people in Jiancheng! You have ruined them all! And the 200,000 troops, none of them escaped. Duanmu Anguo's poisonous hands, why are you so cruel? Since you want all the people to be soldiers, why don't your people drink it? Why do you only let Zong Sui's people drink it?"

The lieutenant snorted coldly, looked at Tian Ping and said, "Your Majesty Zhizhou should ask our general if you want to ask this question. It is useless to blame General Mo. But then again, you are just hearsay. The people who built the city are Those who were massacred by Dashun have nothing to do with our general? Who can prove that our lord gave the medicine in advance?" Hmph! The entire Jiancheng was deserted, and the corpses were burned by Xuan Tianming, there is no proof of death.

Tian Ping glared fiercely at the lieutenant general, but he was also speechless. Indeed, the news was all hearsay, and they couldn't tell who was the first to spread the news. In short, it spread all over the city overnight. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems like Someone did it on purpose.

But no matter what, the news has been known by everyone. In order to quell the panic among the people and not cause greater riots, Tian Ping knew that he had to force these soldiers to test the water himself to ensure that, otherwise, Tongcheng would be in trouble.

The soldiers had no choice, Tian Ping was a local official after all, and with so many common people speaking up collectively, they were unwilling to cause trouble before Duanmu Anguo arrived. The water in the left and right wells was fine, so they followed what Tian Ping said, and led the army to drink a few mouthfuls of water from each well. source of water.

Duanmu Anguo arrived in Tongcheng within a few days, and the common people sneered at him. It was not as beautiful as when he arrived in Jiancheng. But Duanmu Anguo doesn't care, he just wants to use this Tongcheng to complete his plan to fight against Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, he doesn't care what these people think, once he wins this battle, these people can follow him Dashun was reduced to a funeral after its downfall, and he would never let Tongcheng continue to exist intact.

This time, Duanmu Anguo did not live in Zhizhou Mansion, but chose another house. The house was originally lived by one of his soldiers who was hiding in Tongcheng. It was not only a courtyard with three entrances and three exits on the surface, but also countless tunnels and hidden pavilions. Duanmu Anguo lived in it very safe, not only outsiders could not find it, Even if they are their own people, they don't even know which secret cabinet or tunnel the Duanmu Anguo people are in until they get a definite answer.

Just like Jiancheng Zuo Da said, he is like a mouse, guarding against Feng Yuheng to a perverted state, even when sleeping, he has to leave at least ten hidden guards to protect him, otherwise it will be unsafe.

In fact, Duanmu Anguo himself didn't understand why he was so afraid. Even if Feng Yuheng had some skills, at most it was better at lightness kungfu, but even if he was so good that people said that he was elusive, he couldn't break through the wall, right? Why was he so afraid that he would lock himself in a basement without even a window? In this regard, he asked himself many times and persuaded himself many times, but he just couldn't persuade himself to live in a house on the ground.

Tian Ping was summoned the day after Duanmu Guo'an entered the city. Standing in front of Duanmu Anguo, he was not energetic, not flattering like Zuo Da, and he didn't even have the slightest humility. He just said to Duanmu Anguo: "I will not participate in the war. There are 100,000 troops in Tongcheng. According to the emperor's order, all of them are at your disposal. But please don't harm the people of Tongcheng, Mr. Duanmu. Otherwise, I will do my best not to , and lead the people of the whole city to fight against the adults to the end!"

Duanmu Anguo laughed out loud when he heard this, in his opinion, Tian Ping is only a small magistrate, how dare he speak such big words? He didn't pay attention to such small officials at all, and only told Tian Ping: "This general will convey Tian Zhizhou's words to the emperor intact."

"It's up to you." Tian Ping waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Your grievances cannot be resolved in Dashun, so you have brought them to Zong Sui. You, a Dashun man, have brought such a disaster to Zong Sui. If the emperor doesn't wake up , then it's meaningless for me to be a disaster official. If he wants to be demoted, he will be demoted, and if he wants to be killed, he can be killed! But, Duanmu Anguo, I must remind you that Zong Sui is not just serving you alone, even if you have lofty ambitions , there is no reason to invite people from Zong Sui to realize it for you. Bincheng is confused, Jiancheng is confused, I am not confused at all. After Tongcheng, not every city can be at your mercy. Duanmu Anguo, you are free To know."

After Tian Ping finished speaking, he turned around and left, but turned back after walking around a few times. The tunnel was intricate and complicated, and he failed to get out successfully based on his memory when he entered.

After Duanmu Anguo saw it, he laughed, pointed at Tian Ping and said, "You can't even get out of my territory, and you dare to speak big words. Tian Zhizhou, you should be the one who knows yourself well, obediently cooperate with this general Only in this way can you keep the people of Tongcheng safe. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, do you also give us that kind of medicine? Duanmu Anguo, believe it or not, even if the people of Tongcheng really took that kind of medicine, then our spearhead will be aimed at you instead of Dashun. The people of Tongcheng are very clear." , we know who is the source of the evil."

Duanmu Anguo really didn't expect that Zong Sui would have such a staunch magistrate. Tian Ping let him see a different local official, different from Bincheng and Jiancheng, and even different from those officials in Dashun. He doesn't like such officials, but now is not the time to get rid of Tian Ping. He didn't want to kill the officials of Zong Sui, even if he wanted Tian Ping to die, he had to rely on the hands of Dashun people. Fortunately, this day is not far away. He laughed sinisterly, as long as Xuan Tianming's army came to attack, he was at least 80% sure that he would be able to keep them all. As long as Dashun loses Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, and seriously injures Xuan Tianhua, he doesn't believe anyone else can be his opponent for Duanmu Anguo.

Coming out of Duanmu Anguo's "mouse" hole, Tian Ping returned to the Zhizhou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the housekeeper reprimanding a little girl. The little girl knelt on the ground wiping her tears and said, "Steward Lin, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the miss. But housekeeper, please don't drive me away. I still want to serve the miss. You can't live without someone beside you." What a caring person!"

The housekeeper stomped his feet angrily: "I know that you have a deep relationship with the young lady as a master and servant, but it is precisely because of this that I have to preach to you. The young lady trusts you the most. If you can't take care of her well, who else can take care of her?" How about doing your best? Tongcheng has been in a mess recently, and the master is busy with official duties all day long, we servants must serve the master more carefully, so that the master can rest assured!" After he finished speaking, he reluctantly turned the girl He got up again, "Okay, I just want to scare you. The lady loves you so much, how can I just drive you away? Go do your work! The doctor will come later and let him take a good look at it. Don't fall anywhere."

Tian Ping's heart tightened, and he asked loudly, "Miss, did you fall down again?"
