Chapter 51: Annihilation of the Enemy
Shen Liang was ready for Zhao Yi to open his mouth widely, wanting Zhao Yi to say the benefits he wanted.
But Zhao Yi didn't follow Shen Liang's thoughts, and his face did not show a treacherous smile that the conspiracy succeeded, but reprimanded Shen Liang with a righteous face: "What does Mr. Shen think of me Zhao Yi?" I'm not here to ask you what benefits you want, really just to dig in your compound. ”
The anger in Shen Liang's heart had reached the point where he was about to explode, and he had already made a big concession, but Zhao Yi was still aggressive and wanted to raid his home. Digging and digging in the soil? Hmph, it's a good thing to say, in such a big place as Changli County, why didn't Zhao Yi dig elsewhere, but in his own home. What Shen Liang was afraid of was not digging the soil, but the soldiers digging and digging, and they might accidentally run to the room, and then accidentally run to the grain depot.
"My lord, you are a little unreasonable, I have already let the adults make conditions, are you still unwilling to let me live?" Shen Liang's tone was mixed with a hint of anger, this Zhao Yi was really too pressing. "I will help the adults with 1,000 stone of grain and 5,000 plants. What do you think? I'm not the only rich businessman in Changli County, and adults can't just exert themselves on me. ”
Seeing that it was almost over, Zhao Yi said with a serious face: "Mr. Shen really misunderstood what I meant. Then he told Shen Liang and the Changli County Commander the original of his plan.
"I'm just trying to dig up some soil in Mr. Shen's courtyard and put it in my pocket, pretend to be food to transport it out, and confuse those rogues. It's not that I want Mr. Shen's benefits. But since Mr. Shen is so loyal and patriotic, I will accept the 1,000 stone grain and 5,000 plant money. ”
Shen Liang didn't expect things to be like this, it's not that Shen Liang is too careful, if Zhao Yi takes the soldiers into other merchants' houses, and doesn't explain the specific intentions, but only talks about digging the soil, I'm afraid other businessmen will think the same way. He knew that he had fallen into Zhao Yi's trap. And Shen Liang had nothing to say, so he could only tell the housekeeper to take out the money and grain, and said to Zhao Yi: "There is a piece of air in the east, and there is something to deal with in the next place that cannot be accompanied, please forgive Lord Zhao." ”
Zhao Yi looked at the money and grain shipped out, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he waved his hand and said generously, "Mr. Shen, please." With a wave of his hand, he let his soldiers go to the courtyard to the east, and he sat on the grain.
Hearing the sound of something falling to the ground in the hall, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, secretly saying that this Shen Liangqi is small.
When the soldiers put the soil into the bags, it was already a lot darker, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the road, so Zhao Yi did not transport the grain at this time.
Instead, it was transported out in the early morning when the city was bustling, and the people saw a car walking out of Shen Liang's house, and their eyes showed a look of surprise, and from the gap between the woven ropes of the sack, the people could see the full grains of wheat. Shen Liang is a well-known picker in Changli County, and he didn't expect that the officials and soldiers would have a way to get money and food from Shen Liang.
The county decree returned to the people the money and grain that the officials had taken from the people, and said that Shen Liang, a wealthy merchant in the city, had subsidized the government with 5,000 plants and 2,000 stone of grain. The remaining money will be solved by the government, and the people's money and food will be returned today.
When the people heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, and the panic that had been caused before was successfully suppressed.
At this time, a young man with a roe head and a rat in the crowd watched with his eyes flashing as he watched the money and grain being transported into the government, squeezing out of the crowd and running out of the city.
Zhao Yi didn't have enough money to stay in Changli for a day today, in order to give those robbers time to exchange news.
The county magistrate was a little anxious in the hall, looked at Zhao Yi, whose face had not changed, and asked, "Lord Zhao is so sure that Liukou will loot this batch of money and grain tomorrow?" ”
"As long as the temptation is big enough, those people will come over, and if I don't come, I won't have anything to lose, and I will also get five thousand plants of money and one thousand stone of grain, why don't you do it?" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, this kind of business that only makes money and does not lose money, Zhao Yi really wants to do it twice.
If the rogues don't come to plunder, then the agreement between Zhao Yi and Master Zhang will not be completed. Without Master Zhang's help in building ships, how would Zhao Yi and others cross the Yellow River?
Zhao Yi asked the county order: "Shen Liang's caravans, there should be cargo ships, right?" ”
The prefectural magistrate nodded.
If you can't complete the agreement, then you can only talk to Shen Liang about the cargo ship.
At this time, on a hill outside Changli City, more than 200 rogues are like mountain kings here, drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, and living a small life is very uncomfortable.
The leader of the rogue in the house was happily galloping on the girl, and it happened that at this time, a violent knock on the door sounded: "Big brother, good news, good news!" ”
The leader snorted coldly: "Come in!" He got dressed slowly and glanced at the young man who came in: "Ergou, what's the good news?" ”
Speaking of this, Ergou's face was full of joy: "Big brother, a group of officials and soldiers from Changli County have come to raise money and food. ”
The leader's good deeds were interrupted by him, and his temper was not very good, and he stretched out his hand and slapped Ergou: "What kind of good news is this, do we dare to rob the officials and soldiers?" Then he asked: "How many officers and soldiers are there, and how much grain is escorted?" ”
Ergou rubbed his face, and said with a hippie smile: "The number of officers and soldiers is three hundred, and two thousand stone of grain and ten thousand plants of money are escorted. ”
Hearing that the leader of the money and grain showed a look of intent in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment: "But our army has less than three hundred soldiers and horses, most of them are from homeless people, and it is okay to plunder some people, and we will definitely be defeated against well-trained officers and soldiers." ”
"With so much money and food, if we can get one-third, it will be enough for our brother to live for half a year. I mean, we can tell the rest of the cottages the news, and combined with the strength of several parts of us, it shouldn't be a problem to take down the money and grain. Ergou suggested to his eldest brother.
Wealth and wealth are in danger, and the leader thinks about it and agrees. Let Ergou inform a few powerful rogues.
At night, when these rogue leaders were discussing how to ambush, Zhao Yi was also studying the route, so as not to be robbed by these robbers, and beckoned the horse into the house: "You go to the camp quickly, let General Guan Yu lead a thousand soldiers to disguise themselves as robbers, and walk forward along this official road tomorrow morning to support us." And emphatically instructed, if you don't see the robbers, then Guan Yu and the others don't need to show up, they will escort them in secret.
The probe horse led the starry night and ran towards the camp.
Zhao Yi had already arranged the light and darkness, and blew out the candles and rested.
Early the next morning, the soldiers put the money and food in the car early, bid farewell to the county order and rushed to the camp. The soldier watched his surroundings with his spear in hand.
The barren grass on both sides of the official road was covered with crystal clear dewdrops, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun, and after walking out of Changli County for thirty miles, Zhao Yi instructed his soldiers to be careful.
After walking for more than an hour, pushing money and grain up a small dirt slope, I saw several men with spears standing on the road ahead, staring at Zhao Yi with squinted eyes.
Zhao Yi asked everyone to pay attention to the surroundings, and he took two steps forward: "Who are you?" Don't you know that robbing military money and food is to cut off your head? ”
I thought that the person in charge of the escort would be a mature and stable general, but I didn't expect it to be a man who didn't even wear armor, and his white clothes fluttered like a scholar. The important materials such as money and food in the army were handed over to Zhao Yi, a yellow-haired boy who had not dried up, and it seemed that God wanted to give him a chance to make a fortune this time.
The leader ignored Zhao Yi's words, and with a wave of his hand, many people and horses came out of the surrounding grass, these people were wearing various colors of clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied.
With the order of the leaders of all parties, those people rushed towards Zhao Yi frantically, and more than two dozen heavily armored soldiers with fast knives stood in front of Zhao Yi.
Fighting against the eight hundred thieves, these heavily armored soldiers did not have the slightest panic on their faces and responded calmly. As soon as they fought at the beginning of the year, many of them fell.
Zhao Yi sat on the grain cart and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him indifferently, without the slightest panic. These thieves and bandits were suddenly brought together, and there was no tacit understanding in joint operations, and they were completely fighting on their own, and they could not give full play to their numerical superiority. Moreover, these people still have different intentions, and they all want the officers and troops to consume more of the opponent's troops, and when the officers and troops are annihilated, they will receive much less resistance if they eat black again.
In the face of the heavily armored soldiers trained by Zhao Yi himself, it didn't take all his strength, and as a result, more than 200 thieves were killed and wounded in just a quarter of an hour, while Zhao Yi only a few people fell.
"If we don't abandon our suspicions, I'm afraid, not only will the money and food not be robbed, but we will also be exterminated by these soldiers!" The chief drank.
The other two commanders also agreed, it was good to be able to eat black, but then they had to find a way to save their lives first.
But at this time, it was too late to give the order to attack with all his might, and Guan Yu had already arrived here with a thousand soldiers under his command.
Seeing Guan Yu and others in disguise killing people, these leaders were startled, it turned out that they were not the only ones who took a fancy to this money and food.
The red-faced man who rode a horse, the leader had never seen it, stepped forward and took two steps: "Where is this friend, we ......" Guan Yu's side is huge, and it is already a foregone conclusion that money and food cannot be enjoyed exclusively, he originally wanted to communicate with Guan Yu, and his people can share the money and food equally with Guan Yu.
But before he finished speaking, Guan Yu waved Leng Yansaw in his hand and cut off the person's head. "Kill!" Guan Yu rode his horse and rushed into the battlefield, and the leaders all died under Guan Yu's sword.
Seeing that his leader was already in a different place, Liukou put down his weapon and stood obediently to the side.
Guan Yu rode his horse to the field and saw the corpses all over the ground, as well as the officers and soldiers who had only fallen a few on the ground, and looked at the soldiers guarding Zhao Yi's side strangely.
"Thanks to Yun Chang's rescue, otherwise my life would have been taken away by these thieves." Zhao Yi thanked Guan Yu.
"Lord Zhao has won the prize, even if I don't come to help with this kind of formation, these thieves are not the opponents of the elite soldiers under the adults." Guan Yu said matter-of-factly, and at the same time, he was wondering how Zhao Yi trained the soldiers so strongly.
Zhao Yi laughed dryly, didn't say anything more, and asked these captured rogues: "Where is your cottage?" Take us there! ”
