The old servant of the Sun Fu family was forced by the head of the family and had to take the risk of probing his brain in front of the closed house again to investigate.

The first time he came, he only saw the smoke of heating from a distance, and did not dare to approach the courtyard gate, but this time he saw it kindly, and finally saw that there were twenty or thirty horses in the courtyard, and there were many big men. The recognizable red-faced and long-haired man also lay down by the embers of the fire to rest.

Fortunately, Guan Yu and his party would not wear the armor on their bodies when they were at home, so the old servant didn't see the iron armor. Coupled with the stereotype of Guan Changsheng, he subconsciously recognized the other party as a horse bandit.

The servants had no sense of secrecy, and within two seconds of probing their brains, they were caught by Zhao Yun, who had nothing to do in the morning: "Who are you and why are you watching here?" ”

"This ...... This strong man, the old man is just a farmer in this village, and he has not seen anyone from this family come back for a long time, so he is curious to take a look at it, and there is no malice. The old servant of the Sun family hurriedly sold the innocent.

Zhao Yun knew that this was Guan Yu's hometown, and the old people in the township were not easy to make, so he didn't care.

The old servant of the Sun family hurriedly went back to report, and Sun Fu didn't dare to do it himself when he heard it.

"There are more than two dozen horses? This Guan Changsheng was originally born as a bandit, I'm afraid he didn't collude with a large group of thieves. Could it be that the white wave thieves have gradually become rampant in the past few months, so he wants to act as an internal response after becoming a thief and return to his hometown to settle grievances? ”

Sun Fu shuddered at the thought that there might be a large number of white wave thieves coming from the north, robbing them of these rich salt lords and fighting local tyrants to divide the salt lake.

He was thinking about how to take revenge as soon as possible a second ago, but in a blink of an eye, he began to think about how to protect himself first.

"Quick! Prepare the horses, I'll go into the city to find my cousin right away! ”

Staying in Qingshan is not worried about running out of firewood, and the outlaws can't be tough head-on, so they hurriedly called the county lieutenant's cousin to bring rescue soldiers.

Half an hour later, Sun Fu came back with his cousin Sun Jing, as well as all the officials and villagers in Xie Liang County, and collected a total of more than 200 people. This is also the limit of what the county lieutenant can mobilize, Sun Jing heard that there are at least twenty or thirty horse bandits, and he sent so many people out of importance.

Guan Yu and his entourage slept heavily because they only came in the middle of the night last night, so they didn't get up until Sun Jing led the people into the village to surround the Guan family's house.

"Listen to the white wave thief inside! Those who descend will not be killed! Hand over the first evil! ”

However, Sun Jing didn't understand the situation, and after all, he didn't dare to rush in directly, nor did he release arrows, but just let dozens of archers aim at the courtyard gate and several places where the courtyard wall collapsed.

Guan Yu and his entourage in the courtyard hurriedly took out their weapons and put them on to prepare for battle.

Zhao Yun reacted the fastest, he had already used the morning food to go out for a walk, and immediately rode his horse and shouted: "Who are you!" Dare to accuse people of being thieves, this is the governor of Hedong Guan who returned to his hometown, and I am Zhao Yun, the governor of the right tooth gate under the account of the governor. Put down your weapons and tell the ins and outs, and you will be forgiven. If you dare to make another time, Hugh said that you guys, heh......"

"Guandu...... Captain? Sun Jing was a little dumbfounded for a moment, but subconsciously expected that it was the thief army who was cheating, and asked boldly: "Since it is said that the new captain is in office, why don't you go to the city to hand over and come to this deserted village, but what about the anti-seal letter?" ”

Zhao Yun didn't want to cause casualties with the officials and soldiers, after all, even if someone had a grudge against Guan Yu, the soldiers were all serving the imperial court and were innocent, so Zhao Yun cooperated and took out Guan Yu's seal letter and shook it in public.

"It turns out that this Guan Yunchang is the name that Guan Changsheng changed after he fled! No wonder I haven't heard of Guan Changsheng all these years. Sun Jing's eyes rolled wildly, looking at the dozens of horsemen inside who were all wearing iron armor, bows, sabers and guns connected with cow belts, knowing that he might not be able to please Xiangyong who relied on his more than 200 leather armor or even no armor, so he hurriedly took advantage of the fact that he had not yet torn his face, rolled the saddle and dismounted to temporarily soften, not giving Guan Yu a chance to attack.

"I don't know that Shangguan is here, his subordinate Xie Liang County Lieutenant Sun Jing, I heard that there were foreign soldiers in the village, and I was afraid that they were scouts of the white wave thieves, so I came to inquire, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Only then did Guan Yu appear with grace: "Oh, who reported to you?" ”

Sun Jing sweated on his forehead: "It's just the villagers in the village, please don't be surprised, they are also cautious." ”

Regarding the sneer: "Will I take revenge on those people?" ”

Of course, Guan Yu also knew Sun Jing, because before he killed the salt lord Haoqiang seven years ago, Sun Jing was already the county lieutenant of this county. Guan Yu also vaguely heard that the Sun family was a little related to the salt lord, but because he was only white back then, he didn't know the inside story of the county's high-level officials, so it was difficult to conclude how much common interests this Sun Jing had with the local salt lord.

At this moment, seeing that Sun Jing was soft, he had no excuse to be ruthless directly, so he knocked on the side to change the topic: "Yesterday in Anyi, Fan Taishou told me about the armament situation of the county to resist the white wave thieves, and said that Xie Liang, as one of the three major wealthy counties in the county, has become more and more deserted in the past two years, and the salt profit is becoming scarce, and the military money and food for the overall planning of the county are also quite insufficient, so I specially came to investigate!"

Now that County Lieutenant Sun is here, it is just right for you to give you three days to recruit all the big salt farmers in this county, and I will personally lead the troops to check! ”

Sun Jing suddenly cried out in his heart: This ...... This Hedong County has also changed several lieutenants, and I have never seen anyone who dares to use force to uncover the chain of private salt interests in Yuncheng Salt Lake.

And this not only involves Xie Liang, but even the county magistrate, as well as the Yishi County in the south, there are also several super-rich families who will be involved!

The salt production of Yuncheng Salt Lake is very high, and it has to supply most of the salt in Shanxi. Anyi's output is mainly for the local supply of the annexed state; And the salt of the Yi clan was to be sold to Hanoi and Luoyang; Xie Liang is close to Pu Hanjin here, and the waterway can lead directly to Chang'an, so the entire Sanfu land around Chang'an eats Xie Liang's salt.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Sun Jing's cousin-in-law who was killed back then controlled the supply channels of thirty percent of the salt needed in Chang'an City. The world is in turmoil, the salt administration has long been abolished, and everyone is selling privately.

Even Taishou Fan Ling has been in office for more than a year, and he has obediently taken a share of the money from the chain of interests, not to mention the previous captains

。 The so-called strict investigation, in the end, is to take at most half of the total profits of all the smugglers in the three counties, and then they are gagged, and the captains who have a smaller appetite and a weaker strength may not be able to get three points.

Sun Jing quickly calculated in his heart: "Does this Guan Yunchang really want to turn the table on official business, or just rely on his strong soldiers and horses to share more money?" If it's just a little more money, it's better to get away, but people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.

If you want to completely flip the ...... That can only be broken with him! Even if he is not a white wave thief, he would rather be a white wave thief and dedicate the salt lake to the thief army, and he will have less than Guan Yunchang! ”

As a wealthy and powerful family, the Sun family would never want to be a thief under normal circumstances, why should you be a thief if you have an official? He was also afraid of beating the local tyrants and dividing the salt lake.

But if you encounter the extreme situation of "the official is more ruthless than the thief", the gang of thieves can't help it.

It's a big deal to talk to the thief about the conditions, such as sacrificing Xie Liang County, or even Hedong County, to see if Guo Tai Guo Daqu Shuai can agree to let the military attache who gave the city continue to defend the original territory.

If Guo Qushuai can agree, he will dedicate the city.

The nearest Baibo army occupied the area close to Linfen, from Linfen out of Fenshui, into the Yellow River downstream, and then from Puhanjin into the water, tracing dozens of miles to Xie Liang. As long as Sun Jing wanted to lead the way, Bai Bojun still came quickly.

After making this plan, Sun Jing endured the humiliation, pulled Guan Yu to be polite first, and invited him to go into the city to drink and catch the wind, say all the good things, and test Guan Yu's bottom line while he was drinking, and also vaguely sent a local salt lord to come forward and propose to share a large amount of profits to Guan Yu - the reason why Sun Jing didn't say it himself was because he was afraid that Guan Yu would catch his handle and take the opportunity to attack.

Guan Yu was really furious, and immediately ordered Zhao Yun to tie up the salt lord who tried to pull him into the water, and after a few days, in the name of trying to corrupt the captain, find out some other criminal evidence, and then punish him.

If it weren't for Sun Jing's superficial kung fu and never tried it himself, I'm afraid that Guan Yu's hand would have been able to find an excuse to kill Sun Jing.

Sun Jing pinched a cold sweat: "Guan Yu, this guy!" This is shameless, and the whole salt lord force of our Xie Liang is hated, and he wants to uproot us! I had to secretly cooperate with the White Wave Thief. Taking advantage of Guan Yu's trip to visit his hometown, the soldiers and horses are still in Anyi, we still have a chance. I heard that he has several thousand cavalry, and if the army is transferred, we will not have a chance to become thieves. ”

He immediately secretly sent his own messenger to Linfen to contact the Bai Bo army.

……

In the county town of Jieliang, Guan Yu returned to live in the post house after the banquet, and also made a list of people to go to the city and even the village in the south of the city to visit his childhood friends, and bring them back to the post house to entertain them with wine and meat.

Zhao Yun also went to the banquet today, he was more careful, and he was a little worried when he saw this: "Brother Yun, I see that most of the local military attaches are colluding with the salt lords, and they are not pure and virtuous people.

If you want me to say, the lord has also ordered, I will only stay in Hedong for a few months, why make such a big trouble? The matter has come to this, why don't I go back to Anyi overnight and send troops over for reinforcements? ”

Guan Yu drank and twisted his beard: "Zilong thinks that my more than 20 horsemen will not be able to resist Sun Jing's henchmen in the city?" I know that those salt lords bully men and women, and I have long hated them, but some of them are dressed in official skins, and I don't want to start rashly, this is to show the enemy to be false, waiting for him to start!

However, it is better if you want to transfer troops, and after you leave the city, I will let out the news that you will lead the troops back in two days. In this way, there is not much time left for Sun Jing, and if he doesn't make a move, I can force him to make a move. ”

Zhao Yun sighed: "For the sake of personal vendetta, why risk yourself like this? ”

Guan Yu was proud: "You are not right-I am the captain, he is the county lieutenant, if you really fight, it is not that I rely on more than 20 horsemen and hundreds of enemies, but as long as I behead Sun Jing, the rest of the villagers will naturally surrender." ”

This is not a battle between the two armies, but Shangguan's counterinsurgency, and after killing the subordinates who are in rebellion, ordinary soldiers will not go all the way to the black.

Zhao Yun pondered along this line of thought, and then he was relieved. He is still very confident in Guan Yu's ability to raid and kill generals.

"In this case, I will ride back to Anyi alone, and come to pick up my brother within two days."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were not bad, the night after Zhao Yun left, Sun Jing heard the news that Zhao Yun went back to move the rescue soldiers, and immediately couldn't sit still.

"That's it, only get rid of Guan Yu first, and then hold this Xie Liang County, Zhao Yun's cavalry can't attack the city, as long as it holds for a day or two, Guo Qushuai's reinforcements will rush to Xie Liang from the waterway."

In order to keep the huge profits of the salt lake, Sun Jing concentrated all the family funds at hand, a full four or five hundred people, and sent the housekeepers and long-term workers with hoes, and his own tenant farmers. In the middle of the night, he personally led these people to surround the post house where Guan Yu lived.

"The White Wave Army has entered the city! The killer greets Qu Shuai! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
