Anding is located in the north of Gongchang Mansion, 200 miles away from the northwest town of Lanzhou, is an important town of the ancient Silk Road, and is also the east gate of Lanzhou.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the stable city defense was completely maintained by the stable family, and among the famous families in stability, Wang Shuo's family was the most.In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's subordinates attacked Anding and were defeated by the family led by the Wang family.In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's subordinate Li Biao attacked Anding again, and was broken by Wang Shuo's Shujing Border Counselor Wang Guan, who was only 16 years old at the time, and also participated in that battle and performed bravely.The civil affairs of stability are managed by the magistrate, and the most important official is the king of the thousands of households in stability.coincided with the war, Wang Shuo rushed to Gongchang Mansion to help his father prepare for the war, leaving only his hometown to guard Wang Ping.Anding Zhixian Hu Fan, in Fuqiang City, Wang Yan was killed, and when the Shun army occupied Gongchang Mansion, he was frightened, and he always thought about leading his family to flee to Lanzhou.Thanks to Wang Ping's hard persuasion, and the family soldiers of the major families, who patrolled the city day and night with swords in hand, they reluctantly stayed and did not escape.Soon, Hu Fan got the news that Wang Shuo was the self-proclaimed general of the land and defeated the Shun army one after another.This self-proclaimed general, isn't it a rebellion Hu Fan thought to himself, Wang Shuo was a stable military attaché, and if he rebelled, would he implicate himself, a civil official, that would be to kill his head, but after thinking about it, Wang Shuo was resisting the Shun army in the south, and the Shun army would not be able to run to stability, and his hat as a county official would be kept.Otherwise, if the Shun army comes over, there will be no soldiers except for the 1,000 soldiers of the four great families, and it will be impossible to hold the city at all.Even if he runs away, it is a crime of escaping, and if the court investigates it in the future, he will be killed.Wang Shuo is Wang Shuo, and his rebellion has nothing to do with him; Besides, he is not rebelling in Anding, can I control it Thinking of this, Hu Fan was relieved, and continued to be his county magistrate in Anding City.A few days after the comfortable day, the Tong'an post came to report, Wang Shuo led the army to attack the stability of the country, and the forward had already passed the Tong'an station.Hu Fan was stupid at this time, and it took a long time to ask the postman: "How many people did he bring?"
the postman said: "I can't count them, there are several batches before and after, and there is no boundary." ”Hu Fan sat in the chair of the county government, his face was like earth, and he couldn't speak anymore.The county Cheng said on the side: "The thieves invaded in a big way, and Wang Qianhu led the army to resist.Using the official position of a thousand households to recruit soldiers is probably too small and inappropriate.From the point of view of humble position, Wang Qianhu used the fake position of a general, I am afraid, it is also unacceptable, but it is not necessarily that he really wants to rebel. ”A glimmer of light flashed in Hu Fan's eyes, and he stared at the county for a long time and asked: "In your opinion, what is the purpose of him leading the army to stabilize the stability, but there are no thieves" The county Cheng said: "This, I can't understand the lowly position." ”Hu Fan was angry in his heart, and said in his heart, you have been talking for a long time, this is not the same as not saying it, the county Cheng said: "Tong'an Yi is seventy miles away from here, let's carry the wine and food out of the city, work the army halfway, by the way, find out its intentions, and then deal with it is not too late." ”Hu Fan nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll leave the clever plan to you." ”The county Cheng complained bitterly in his heart, I don't have enough to eat, why did I give him this idea and hurriedly said: "I think that this matter of the labor army, if you don't go out in person, I am afraid it will be difficult to work."
In case Wang Qianhu really rebelled, seeing that you just sent a lowly position to perfunctory him, thinking that you disrespected him and annoyed him, and he took advantage of the situation to attack the city, wouldn't it be self-defeating for us" Hu Fan said angrily: "Didn't you say that he had to be a self-proclaimed general, and didn't really rebel?"
”Hu Fansi pondered: "If he really rebels, I will go to the labor army, won't I be a sheep in the mouth of the tiger" asked angrily, "What are you doing" The county Cheng smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't go, this Wang Ping, who led the army to defend the city, is also the general of his Wang family."
If his master wants to enter the city, will he rebel If Wang Qianhu really rebels, you are staying in the city, what is the difference between you and going out of the city to work in the army?
”Hu Fan was silent after hearing this, and said for a long time: "I might as well wait for someone to send the family to Lanzhou first, and then call Wang Ping to go out of the city to meet him."
If he doesn't rebel, if he really rebels, let's stabilize him for the time being, take advantage of his unpreparedness, escape from the city, and go to Lanzhou Madu Governor for help. ”The county Chengxin said, where are you asking for help, it is clear that you don't see things well, and you will run away
