Zhang Yang took a look at the dozens of people who were checking, and found that half of them were familiar, and a few of them could still be named.

Among them, there is a man who practices guns and sticks together, Cheng Yunlai, and he still looks like a leader.

"Is it Brother Cheng Yunlai? Don't come unharmed, do you still recognize me? Seeing an acquaintance, Zhang Yang immediately said loudly.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang Yang, I haven't seen you for half a year, and your face looks good, why did you come to Hazelnut Town? I heard that Zhangjiaji was plagued by Tartars, and most of the villagers in the ten rooms and nine empty places were coerced to Liaodong! ”

A man beside him hurriedly looked at the city and said, "Brother Cheng, don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming out of your mouth." There's someone up there staring at it! ”

Cheng Yunlai also looked at the city, gently smacked on the ground, and scolded: "Dog offal! If the five Ma brothers don't care, those Tartars may not be able to understand our hometown. ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's hard to say, I don't have a place to go now, I want to take my brothers into the town to find an inn to live in and then think about it in the long run, can you call the former brothers to drink at noon?" ”

"No problem, if the eldest brother is full of martial arts, if he is willing to find a nursing home errand, it will be easy to catch, how to take care of food and live for a month, it is indispensable to have a tael of silver. These four brothers are with you, too? ”

The four people brought by Zhang Yang were all in the vicinity of Hazelnut Town, and they often went in and out of the town, among which a man named Pan Yingyong knew Ma Wu, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Brother Ma, have you come home recently?" ”

Ma Wu was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Pan, you haven't had an accident!" I heard that many men in your village have been taken away by the Tartars, and I thought that you had all been coerced to go outside the border now! ”

"Alas! It's hard to put into words, go into the city and find a tavern to have a drink and chat! ”

Ma Wu agreed: "Okay, I'll take leave to accompany you into the city immediately, Chunfeng Building is good, accommodation and meals are more affordable, only a few steps away from here, let's go to that place." ”

Zhang Yang and Pan Yingyong entered the city without being searched, and they asked for a private room in Chunfeng Building, and talked to Cheng Yunlai and Ma Wu about a few glasses of wine.

Zhang Yang saw that the time was almost up, and he glanced at Pan Yingyong, and Pan Yingyong and the four of them immediately understood, and approached the door and window of the private room intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Yang saw that several of his subordinates had been arranged, so he changed the topic and said, "Have the two brothers ever heard of the 'Red Flag Army' that was active in Yongping Mansion during this time?" ”

Cheng Yunlai said: "What a reputation the heroes of the 'Red Flag Army' are! Spread all over Hazelnut Town. We have not only heard of it, but also know the name of their main general, and we also know that his home is in Jiulitai Village, which is more than ten miles north of Yongping Mansion. ”

Ma Wudao: "The 'Red Flag Army' is enough to dare to fight with the Tartars and Jiannu, I just admire such a hero." ”

Cheng Yunlai said: "Our Yongping Mansion has a 'Red Flag Army', and all Xi Wuzi are honored. In fact, we don't look down on those stinky Tartars at all, and always think that if we are forced to hurry, we will cut off the Tartars and carry their heads to join the army. ”

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Two brothers, let me tell you, Lao Tzu is now the chief flag officer of the 'Red Flag Army', and Lao Tzu has personally killed two real slaves, a Tartar and a few bannermen. ”

"Huh?" Cheng and Ma opened their mouths wide and felt incredulous. Soon they turned from surprise to excitement, and Cheng Yunlai said: "Big brother, I'm afraid you came to Hazelnut Town today to have military affairs, right?" You can rest assured that your brother will not be able to harm you. ”

"The main forces of Tartar and Jiannu have already returned to Liaodong, don't you know?"

"I've heard of it, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."

"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of life and death! Think about it, the main force of Dongnu has retreated, and the territory of Yongping Mansion will not be recovered by the Ming army sooner or later? What will happen to those of you who have surrendered with your head at that time? ”

Cheng Yunlai said nonchalantly: "We haven't shaved our heads and forgotten our ancestors, we are just housekeepers who take care of the family's nursing home, and we have never helped Jiannu do evil." I'm afraid it won't be our turn for the court to ask for guilt. ”

Ma Wu explained: "Our family master is not really willing to surrender to Jiannu, the situation is just forced, if the Ming army comes, the family master will naturally return to the imperial court." ”

Zhang Yang said: "This time the official is here on order, and the task is to be the vanguard for the 'Red Flag Army' to seize Hazelnut Town, and none of the Tartars stationed here can be let go." Would you two like to work for me? ”

Cheng Yunlai didn't even need to think about it, and immediately said: "Big brother, no, no, adult, the small one is willing to serve, but the small one has a small condition." ”

"Oh? There are still requirements, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

"The little assistance to the adults has succeeded, and I don't know if it's okay to ask to join the 'Red Flag Army'?"

Ma Wu also shouted: "Adults, the small ones should also be the 'Red Flag Army', please help introduce them." ”

It turned out to be such a trivial matter, Zhang Yang patted his chest and said: "A trivial matter, you have martial arts and already have the conditions to join the 'Red Flag Army', and then you have the official as a guarantee for your military merits, of course, it will come naturally." ”

Cheng and Ma said in unison: "Okay, how do you arrange it next?" ”

"There are dozens of brothers waiting to enter the city in a village not far from the West Gate, can you find a way to bring them into the city?"

Cheng Yunlai said without hesitation: "No problem, I am the leader in charge of taking care of the West Gate, I will immediately take a dozen brothers out of the city, and then bring the 'Red Flag Army' brothers outside the city into the city three or four times."

It doesn't matter if they are discovered by Jiannu, there are not many of them, and the 'Red Banner Army' has a full sixty people, plus we can directly fight with them and kill those miscellaneous pieces. ”

Ma Wu echoed: "Yes! The brothers in Hazelnut Town hate those Jiannu to death, as long as someone picks the lead, it is guaranteed that more than eight adults will jump out to do Jiannu, maybe we don't need the main force of the 'Red Flag Army' to go out, we can take the town. ”

Hazelnut Town is not small, and there are many residents and people who have taken refuge in the city to escape the war, I am afraid that there will be a population of 350,000, and the Houjin Army even has more than 100 traitors, where can they manage it?

Moreover, these barbarians do not know how to manage, so they can only choose to maintain order by surrendering the big families.

Cheng Yunlai and Ma Wu came forward to contact Zhang Yang, of course, they chose some of the family members who knew it in their hearts to persuade them to surrender, and soon more than 30 family members cooperated to cover Zhang Yang's men and horses and infiltrated the town.

Huang Han and Zhang Yang agreed that the time was to seize the door in the afternoon, if Zhang Yang was not able to complete the task by then, this indicated that the brothers who entered the city were in danger, and at this time they could only choose to storm the city as soon as possible to rescue the lurkers who had missed.
