Datang romantic little landlord

Dugufeng was also unambiguous, and immediately led three classes of yamen servants to the Liaoren tribe, and rescued the little lady before the Liaoren could react.

Although the man was saved, he was ruined by the Liao people.

Fortunately, the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are still open. Although the little lady is crying and crying, she is miserable, but she is not looking for death or life.

As for the bitter master's family, they also knew that those officials were barbaric, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​letting Dugufeng arrest and punish them, and planned to swallow the bitterness as they were unlucky.

But the bitter master's family was going to calm down, and those bureaucrats became agitated instead, and even threatened Dugufeng to ask Jiulong County to send him back to them, otherwise they would come and grab it by themselves.

Datang's attitude towards these bureaucrats has always been "the bureaucrats rely on the dangers of the mountains, and should show their kindness and trust", but Dugufeng does not fully agree.

He has been an official in Jiulong County for a long time, and he is well aware of the nature of these bureaucrats. He knows that to deal with these bureaucrats, it is not enough to rely on kindness, but also to make them fearful.

The so-called villain fears power but does not fear virtue, and does not know what virtue is, and it also applies to these bureaucrats.

So Dugufeng directly ordered the yamen servant to arrest the Liaoren who came to the county yamen to threaten him, whipped him hard, and gave him a severe reprimand before releasing him.

Dugufeng didn't expect that this time he would stab a hornet's nest.

The Liaoren who started to rob the women and was whipped by Dugufeng was the son of the leader of the Liaoren tribe near Jiulong County.

So the leader of the Liaoren tribe contacted other Liaoren everywhere to attack Jiulong County and avenge his son, which led to the current situation.

After listening to Dugufeng's narration, Li Wangyou could only let out a long sigh.

It's no wonder that Dugu Feng, the county magistrate of Jiulong County, did nothing wrong with what he did, it's just that those bureaucrats don't know good and bad, and don't respect the law.

"It's really the fault of the subordinate officials that the bureaucrats caused chaos. But they have hurt the father-in-law, and I ask the father-in-law to forgive the crime. After this matter is over, the subordinate officials will report to the court to plead guilty." Dugufeng bowed to Li Wangyou Apologies, he never imagined that the person trapped in Jiulong County would be Li Wangyou, a noble county magistrate.

Dugufeng didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be if something happened to Li Wangyou under his rule.

I am afraid that when the emperor is angry, the Liao people in Yizhou will be slaughtered by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wangyou waved his hand: "I can't blame Dugu Mingfu for this matter, it's all because of the bureaucrats who refused to accept Wang Hua. There is no need to worry about Mingfu, this matter is not a big deal, when the Yizhou army arrives, those bureaucrats will naturally act like birds and beasts scattered."

"Yes, the officer also thinks so."

The two of them were talking, when a servant from the county government hurried in and reported, "Report to the Ming Palace, those bureaucrats outside the city have appeared!"

Li Wangyou and Dugufeng got up immediately after hearing the words.

"Go, have a look."

Although Jiulong County is a lower county, the city walls are well repaired.

The city wall is two feet high and one foot wide at the top, and there is a horse path connecting the city wall.

Li Wangyou and his party rode directly onto the city wall, looked up, and saw torches looming in the east, west, and north directions of the small Jiulong County, and in the forest outside the city.

However, only the direction to the south gate of Chengdu County was completely dark, and there seemed to be no movement.

Regarding this, Dugu Feng showed suspicion, but Li Wangyou and Niu Wu were ridiculed, smiled and said nothing.

When Li Wangyou and Dugu Feng were observing the situation of the bureaucrats outside the city, a voice suddenly came from their ears.

"My lord, you see that the Liao people are very powerful. They only look at the torches outside the city. The Liao people surrounding Jiulong County may number in the thousands. There are no Liao people at the south gate. If I knew it, I should have Open the city gates and let the people go out of the city to take refuge."

Li Wangyou turned his head to look, and it turned out to be the Sima Wang Yichun of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. At some point, he also ran over the city wall, pointing out of the city, and said in a complaining tone.

Obviously, this guy still has resentment for Dugufeng's refusal to open the city gate.

Li Wangyou didn't expect that Wang Yichun would be so thick-skinned that he would dare to come forward after being scolded by him for running away.

Li Wangyou was not surprised that Wang Yichun would appear on the city wall.This guy is Sima from Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and if he wants to come to Jiulong County, he also has his eyes and ears.

He wanted to go up the city wall, those government servants and government soldiers naturally didn't dare to stop him.

Regarding Wang Yichun's complaints, Li Wangyou couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Wang Sima doesn't even understand the simple principle of encircling the Three Queyi? How on earth do you deserve to be the Sima of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion? The simple truth can actually be tricked?"

"What, what are you surrounded by three towers? Could it be that the Lord said that there are also bureaucrats ambush in the south of the city? Well, how is this possible? Those barbarians, don't they know the art of war?"

Li Wangyou was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person: "Niu Wu, explain to him."

Niu Wu was also sneering, pointing to the south of the city and said: "Didn't Wang Sima notice that the forest next to the official road in the south of the city is too quiet? There are not even insects and birds. If no one is in ambush, a certain Cut off your head and kick it for you! How can Wang Sima not understand such simple military common sense?"

Wang Yichun was so overwhelmed by Li Wangyou and Niu Wu's words that he blushed, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Li Wangyou and Dugu Feng drove their horses around the city wall to inspect, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the defense of the county, they got off the city wall and went back to rest.

Tonight, those Liao people will definitely not attack the city. We only need to see if the reinforcements from the Rizhou Metropolitan Government's Mansion can arrive early to disperse these Liao people.

Otherwise, if the Liao people attack the city, relying on the two hundred government soldiers in the city and a hundred or so government servants and minzhuang to fight against the thousands of Liao people outside the city, there must be a hard battle to fight.

885 Liao Ren Bronze Drum

The reason why Li Wangyou went back to sleep confidently and boldly, not worrying about night raids by the bureaucrats, was also related to the way of warfare in this era.

Many people mistakenly think that night battles rarely occurred in ancient times because of lack of vitamin intake, which led to night blindness, which is actually not quite correct.

Night blindness naturally existed in ancient times, and it was called bird blindness or bird blindness.

However, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, doctors had known about night blindness for a long time, and the effect of using animal liver to treat sparrow blindness was remarkable.

So night blindness is not the main reason for not fighting at night.

In ancient times, night battles were rarely launched, mainly because of the lack of lighting facilities.

The lighting brightness of the torch is limited, it is difficult to identify friend or foe during combat, and it is even more difficult to command.

Fighting with cold weapons, the enemy and us often fight in one place, and night combat is very easy to accidentally injure.

Banners and flags are the main methods of command in the era of cold weapons. At night, it is difficult for soldiers on both sides to see the flags clearly, which greatly affects command efficiency and combat coordination.

Therefore, unless there is a sneak attack at night, large-scale battles rarely occur.

And Jiulong County is protected by a tall city wall, even if those bureaucrats wanted to sneak attack, it would be difficult for them to succeed, so Li Wangyou was not worried about this at all.

The facts were exactly as he expected, until the next day, the Liao people outside the city did not launch any attacks on Jiulong County.

After the sky was getting brighter, the bronze drums beating by the Liao people sounded outside the city, making a huge sound.

Li Wangyou was awakened by the sound of the bronze drum, and listened carefully, but he couldn't help showing a worried expression.

Su Changqing was also woken up by the sound of the bronze drum. Seeing that Li Wangyou's face was not very good-looking, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Wangyou, what's the matter, is there something wrong with the sound of the drum?"

"It's nothing, you, Afra, and Peilan are in the hostel today and don't go out. I have already told Dugu Mingfu that he will arrange two government officials to guard in front of the hostel to ensure your safety. I will take Niu Wu and Zhang Brother, go to the city wall to see the situation."

Su Changqing knew that he was hiding something, but he didn't continue to ask, but just nodded to show that he understood.
