108 [Night Attack on the Banknote Pass] (For the leader of the alliance, the cold wind is bleak(2/2)
Waiting left and right, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Wu Yong was trembling all over.
Zhao Han did not take action immediately. Instead, he escorted the prisoners onto the ship, took the looted property with the prisoners, and forced the boatmen to sail to the lower reaches of the Gan River.
Five hundred soldiers were left behind and hid in the eunuch's mansion.
The sky gradually became brighter, Xu Fusheng, and Sun Yanghuai stayed awake all night.
The two of them are brothers in distress, one is a magistrate and the other is a county magistrate. If they cause such a big mess, they should just wait for the court to punish them.
Standing on the tower, Sun Yanghuai looked at the river and said to himself: "Have the rebels left?"
"It's time to go," Xu Fusheng couldn't relax, and said with a sad face, "The rebels are here to rob the bank. I guess the eunuchs are more likely to be in trouble than others. We are in trouble."
Sun Yanghuai muttered: "It is better to die as a eunuch than to lose the city and the land."
While they were talking, a soaked guard soldier rushed to the city in a panic and shouted: "I am a soldier of Yue Qianhu, let me enter the city quickly!"
"Hang him up!" Xu Fusheng ordered.
A group of government officials were holding knives and sticks. This man was hoisted up to the tower in a bamboo basket and was immediately surrounded.
"Don't kill me, I'm not a rebel!" the guard soldier said in panic.
Xu Fusheng asked: "How did you survive?"
The guard soldier knelt down and replied: "Back to the magistrate, I was not in the camp at that time. I was sent to Chaoguan to keep watch. When the rebels came, I jumped into the river and swam to the stone steps of Chaoguan. My whole body was soaked in water.
Inside, only the head was exposed, and it was so dark that the rebels couldn't see it."
"Spread your hands." Sun Yanghuai suddenly said.
The guard soldier quickly spread his hands, and his fingers were wrinkled. Sure enough, he had been soaked in water for most of the night.
Xu Fusheng asked again: "Which way did the rebels go?"
The guard soldier said: "The rebels robbed two merchant ships, took away a lot of goods, and sailed to the north."
Xu Fusheng and Sun Yanghuai looked at each other and felt relieved. They were afraid that the rebels would not leave.
One after another, more than ten guardsmen came back, but they all fled in the middle of the night, and only ventured back to the city at dawn. They were individually hung up on the tower, disarmed, and put into the city, where they were guarded separately by the officials.
Although Xu Fusheng was mediocre, he was a Jinshi after all and still had a basic IQ.
He personally interrogated him and asked the guardsmen to confront him, and soon determined that there was no problem.
Of course there is no problem, because they are all true and the false ones have not been released yet.
It was not until mid-morning that a group of guard soldiers came back from the northwest hills, and they even supported the eunuch Zhang Yin.
"What a fool, let us in quickly, the guard is injured!"
Zhao Han supported the eunuch with one hand and held a spear with the other, shouting arrogantly towards the tower.
Eunuch Zhang Yin was indeed injured. In order to make the acting more realistic, one of his legs was broken by Zhao Hansheng.
