The dim and dark day has passed, this day of Wuyin County, it seems extraordinarily clean, the thieves enter the city, the people have closed their doors and closed their doors, dare not go out, in the streets and alleys, there is no one, like a dead city.

The night is gradually falling, and under the starry sky of the cold winter wax moon, there are some undercurrents surging in this city.

Cheng.

The Zhu family's mansion, in the mansion, the lights were bright, all the courtyards were emptied, and they became school fields one by one.

The reason why this world is known as the world of the scholars is because the scholars control the population and land, have the youth and strength, have food, and can form an army at any time.

"The head of the family, the Yellow Turban Army in the county government is going out of the city!"

The burly man Zhu Tong stood under the hall, facing Zhu Zhan in the first place, and gave his hand to report: "They have recruited carts from all over the city, are transporting grain, and are heading towards the north city gate, they should be preparing to return to Mushroom Mountain, or I will send troops to intercept them, after all, these grains and grasses are all the grains and grasses of our Wuyin County!" ”

Led by the Zhu family, all the major families in Wuyin City have sent troops, they have gathered 1,500 troops, and they are well-armed, and he is very sure that he can exterminate this group of yellow turban thieves.

"Transporting grain?"

When Zhu Zhan heard this, he gently stroked the beautiful hair on his chin, and smiled coldly: "They are really short of food, don't care about them, let them continue to transport, when we send troops, these grains and grass will become a burden to them, and will help us annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”

"No!"

When Zhu Tong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded.

Zhu Zhan thought for a while and asked Zhu Tong: "What is the situation in the county government now?" ”

"The head of the family, the situation in the county government is unknown for the time being!"

Zhu Tong shook his head: "Their guards are too tight, and our people can't get close at all, so they can't find out the news!" ”

"Then we can only be a little restless!"

Zhu Zhan calmed down and said in a low voice: "Before sending troops, you must confirm the news in the county office, Cai Tu is not dead, I can't wait, if Cai Tu dies, the soldiers and horses will be dispatched immediately, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, and leave no one behind!" ”

These yellow turban thieves are just rogues, even if they leave Wuyin, this black cauldron will not be on his back, for him, the most important thing is whether Cai Tu is dead or alive.

He has been plotting the position of the Wuyin County Commander for more than a day or two, but Cai Tu is strong, and there is the support of the Cai family in Jingzhou behind him, even if he is a local snake, he does not dare to be too oppressive.

Now using the Yellow Turban Army to kill Cai Tu is the most important thing.

"Report!"

At this time, outside the lobby, a loud voice sounded.

"Come in!"

Zhu Tong frowned and snorted.

A young man wearing the Zhu family's guard costume walked in, arched his hand to Zhu Zhan and said, "Family master, there is an injured person outside the door who asks to see you?" ”

"Who?" Zhu Zhan squinted slightly and asked.

At this time, the limelight was raging, the whole city was under martial law, and suddenly someone was injured and came to him, which was a bit weird.

"He said yes, the Gong Cao of the county government is the subordinate!"

"Shen Xiao?"

When Zhu Zhan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly: "Quick, please let him in!" ”

Wuyin is a large county seat, more than 10,000 households, among the county government, the county order is the official of the rank of 1,000 stones, and the county Cheng and the county lieutenant are the officials of the rank of 400 stones, all of which will be in the personnel files of the imperial court, recommended by the county order, appointed by the county, and approved by the imperial court, before it can take effect, and under the three major officials, it is the main book, and the main book is between the official and the official.

And under the main book, there are Gong Cao, thieves Cao, and Cao Cao, all of whom are in charge, and these are just officials.

Gong Cao's chief Shen Xiao is his right-hand man.

Soon the two Zhu family guards walked in, one left and one right, carrying a thin middle-aged man, who had a knife wound on his left arm, his robe was stained with blood, and his face was extremely pale, and he knelt down directly as soon as he came in.

"Shen Xiao greets Lord County!"

"Zifeng, the thieves entered the city, Wuyin suffered a disaster, I was anxious, worried about the comfort of the county lord, and now I want to gather the righteous people in the city, call the soldiers to fight, see that you are still alive, the official is quite happy in his heart!"

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Zhanhu walked down in person and slandered him.

"Xiao is ashamed, shameless to face the county lord!" Shen Xiao said with tears in his eyes: "Those thieves slaughtered the county government, I can only survive alone, and the county lord, the lord of the book, they have all been killed, and ask the county lord to send troops to exterminate such murderers and avenge the county lord!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Zhan trembled all over, and his teeth clicked: "Lord County is in trouble?" ”

His face was excited, as if it was sad and indignant, but those who knew him well could see a glimmer of joy in the corners of his eyes.

"I saw with my own eyes that the county lord was beheaded by them, and he didn't blink his eyes!" Shen Xiao said heavily: "Everyone in the county government has also been slaughtered!" ”

"The entire county government has been slaughtered?"

Zhu Zhan frowned slightly, his eyes became puzzled, and he glanced at Shen Xiao with some suspicion.

"Then why did you survive?"

Zhu Tong raised his eyebrows, if Zhu Zhan was inconvenient to ask, he didn't mind asking instead.

"Your Excellency suspects that a certain family has voted for a thief, right?"

When Shen Xiao heard this, he was furious, his face was cold, he looked at Zhu Zhan, and said: "I, Shen Xiao, also read the book of sages, how can I be in the same stream with the thieves, I am loyal to the adult, how can I deceive the adult, the reason why I survived, at that time, because of a well in the county government, did the adult forget, in the past, the adult told his subordinates that it was a well leading to the small river in the east of the city, although I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but I would never be with the bandits!" ”

"It's the official who is suspicious, and the official is sorry for Zifeng!"

Zhu Zhan suddenly went to the council, the left wing of the county office, in the courtyard of the county office, there was a well, which had been deserted, but the underground led to a well next to it, and the wells were connected, this secret was not even known to the county commander Cai Tu, so he told a few of his subordinates to beware of accidents.

"My lord, these thieves are already preparing to go out of the city, if they leave Wuyin, the weather is so cold, I'm afraid it will be difficult to track, please send troops as soon as possible to eliminate the bandits!"

Shen Xiao's face was still a little angry, but he still arched his hand and said.

"The head of the house?"

When Zhu Tong heard this, his eyes moved, and he asked in a low voice.

"Go and gather the soldiers and horses immediately, this official will personally suppress the bandits, and with the head of the bandit leader, the spirit of the county lord in the sky!"

Zhu Zhan's doubts disappeared at this moment, his eyes were lifelike, and he was full of pride, and he said loudly: "We are subject to the court's favor, how can we let the bandits be the troubled party, even if we fight hard today, we must leave this bandit trouble, and not leave any disaster for the people of Wuyin!" ”

"No!"

Zhu Tong took the order and left.

……

Outside the city, in the northern suburbs.

On the hill.

Mushan rode his horse and stood, staring at the county town under his feet, holding the reins of the horse with both hands, and was silent for a while before asking: "Zhao Ping, have our sons in the city withdrawn?" ”

"Under the cover of grain trucks, it has basically withdrawn!"

Zhao Ping looked at the night, his face was a little puzzled, and said: "Big boss, in fact, we can just leave, why fight this battle, those families have thousands of soldiers and horses, we are very disadvantaged!" ”

The food is in hand, the gold and silver are also in hand, in fact, they don't have to fight this battle, he still doesn't understand why they want to fight.

"To survive!"

Mu Shan's set of truths sounded in Mu Shan's mind, and he suddenly strengthened his belief and said: "Jing'er is right, no matter how much food there is, sooner or later it will be exhausted, we can't continue to be rogues, we can't let our children continue to sleep with our food and style, Wuyin City is where we can stand, as long as we win this battle, we can stand here and live a peaceful life, so even if we pay a heavier price, we have to fight!" ”

"Master of the pastor!"

At this time, Li Yan came on horse, although he was a scholar and not good at kung fu, but he was skilled in riding and shooting, he was a green horse under his crotch, and came slowly: "News from the city, the soldiers and horses of the Zhu family have been dispatched, and now they are coming towards us, in less than an hour, you can come out of the north city gate and face us!" ”

"Although this place is a hill, the terrain is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, I don't know if Master Li has any good strategies to help me fight!" Mu Shan turned his head, glanced at Li Yan, and asked.

Li Yan was recommended by Mu Jing, Mu Jing said that this person has extraordinary talents and is a good military advisor, Mu Shan is actually a little skeptical, because Li Yan is too young.
