Chapter 1046 The Eve Before The Incident
After Wang Qi and the other three retreated, Wu Qiu Jian ordered people to summon Wu Qiu Xiu. Now Wu Qiu Xiu is in charge of martial law tasks in the entire Ji County town and has a heavy responsibility. Especially after nightfall, a curfew will be imposed in Ji County. No unrelated persons are allowed to go to the streets after the curfew. Violators will be severely punished, and those who openly resist will be executed.
It is precisely because Wu Qiu Xiu's responsibilities are extremely important that Wu Qiu Jian specially recalled him and personally gave him the opportunity. This night was the most critical night and there was no way to make any mistakes.
"Second brother, what's the situation now?" Wu Qiu Jian asked first as soon as he saw Wu Qiu Xiu.
Wu Qiu Xiu said truthfully: "The situation is not optimistic. The prefects are very excited. Especially after the arrival of Wang Taishou Gong Taishou and Liu Taishou, they caused more dissatisfaction. Some even questioned bluntly why the three of them could lead their troops into the city, but they wanted to forbid their troops to enter the city?"
Wu Qiu Jian sneered, "It's just a group of clowns who jumped their beams. No matter how hard they were, it would be useless. Let's go with them. As long as they don't leave the city, they will let them do whatever they want. Tomorrow, if you want to be so free and comfortable, you may not have the opportunity. Second brother, you can send more people and keep an eye on them in secret. Don't let these prefects connect with each other, in case they work together to make trouble."
These prefects were half-housed in the city, with no soldiers and no soldiers. Wu Qiu Jian was not worried about any storm. Without the soldiers, these prefects were just ordinary people without any hand, some were not even as powerful as ordinary people. Ordinary people still had the strength of two people, while those prefects who were civil officials had no hand power. If Wu Qiu Jian was willing, they could kill the weeds and destroy them in an instant.
However, now is not the time to take action. When the manifesto is announced tomorrow, whoever stands up to support him will be valued, and those who oppose it will be suppressed without mercy.
Therefore, the night before the announcement of the manifesto, Wu Qiu Jian asked Wu Qiu Jianxiu to capture the prohibited affairs in the city, and no one was allowed to leave Jixian City, so as not to leak the news.
Since Jixian City adopts the method of entering and not leaving, the garrisons outside the city do not understand the situation inside the city at all, so they can only wait foolishly.
Wu Qiu Jian did not take the county soldiers outside the city lightly. He originally sent a lot of troops to station outside the city to closely guard these county soldiers to prevent them from mutiny.
After Wang Qi and others brought their troops to the city, in addition to each bringing 500 elite troops into the city, other troops were also stationed outside the city, further strengthening their strength. As long as there was a slight change in the troops of each county, Wuqiu Jian's army would attack without hesitation and suppress him in one fell swoop.
Wu Qiu Jian's defense has almost reached its extreme. He knew very well that this was the most critical moment for his success and failure. At this time, there must be no mistakes. Every detail must be meticulous and meticulous. Wu Qiu Jian knew very well that a thousand-mile dike would collapse into an ant hole. This time, he would never let any ant nest go.
The four gates of Jixian County are Wu Qiu Jian's two sons and two grandsons. In this most critical position, Wu Qiu Jian still does not believe in outsiders. He only believes in his close relatives. This is his real capital to make a living.
Since the son and grandson guarded the four gates and could not leave the post easily, Wuqiu Jian asked Wuqiu Xiu to tell them that they must not be relaxed and should not think that the proclamation will be issued tomorrow. However, this moment, including after the proclamation, is the most critical moment. As long as the Jixian town is blocked, the prefects will only be crazy.
Wu Qiuxiu looked at the leftovers on the table and couldn't help swallowing. For the martial law in the city, he had not closed his eyes for two nights. At least for more than a day, he had not entered the water and rice, so he took a sneak peek at the leftovers on the table. His stomach was very unscrupulous and he couldn't resist the temptation of food.
"Second brother, you haven't eaten yet, are you?" Wu Qiu Jian saw Wu Qiu Xiu's appearance and hurriedly said, "Let the chef do some more for you. No matter what, you can't be hungry."
"No, this is enough." Wu Qiu Xiu had already sat at the table and started eating voraciously. Although it was just some leftovers and it was already cold, Wu Qiu Xiu was eating with relish and feasting.
When Wu Qiu Jian saw Wu Qiu Xiu's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh that no one except his brothers could work so hard. This kind of family affection that was thicker than water could not be exchanged for no amount of money.
When Wu Qiu Jian was about to instruct the chef to cook two more dishes for him, Wu Qiu Xiu had finished eating like a wind and cloud. He wiped his mouth, burped, and immediately bowed and said goodbye to Wu Qiu Jian, rushed to Cross Street to stand for the last night shift.
After Wuqiu Xiu left, Wuqiu Jian walked into the yard with his hands on his back. The weather was particularly bright tonight. Although the snow covered the ground, the temperature outside was extremely cold, but the moonlight was bright and peaceful, covering the earth with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
Tonight is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the moon still has a small flaw, with a small gap. When tomorrow comes, it will be a perfect full moon.
At this moment, Wang Qi suddenly turned back. This time he was alone and did not follow Gong Zun and Liu Mao. According to what he discussed with Wu Qiu Jian, Wang Qi went to Wei Guan's side specially. After the matter was finished, he quickly reported to Wu Qiu Jian.
"How about it, that guy is much more honest? Without Sima Yi to support him, Wei Guan no longer had the spirit of being as proud as before. A rat who is greedy for life and fears death is insignificant." Wu Qiu Jian asked first.
Since Wei Guan surrendered, Wu Qiu Jian has never continued to pay attention to him as much as he paid attention to him. Wei Guan's arrogant appearance had long been indifferent, and he had no soldiers or power in his hands. Wu Qiu Jian also sent people to keep watching to prevent him from having any contact with other prefects, so Wu Qiu Jian would not worry about problems with Wei Guan at all.
Wang Qi bowed and said, "I saw that the guards and generals were a little depressed, and they were very lonely in their words. I guess there would be no problem."
Wu Qiu Jian was not surprised by this result. He smiled and said to Wang Qi: "Kong Shuo, thank you for your hard work. You have to work hard all the way. You can go down and rest first. Tomorrow is the most critical time."
