When Zhang Xianzhong's army arrived at the city of Anlu County, they were shocked by this small county seat, such a small county town, the city wall is so high, and there are many arrow towers protruding from the city wall, this kind of setting is rarely seen in the south, only in the nine border areas will be seen, this is comparable to the capital of a house, I am afraid that Wuchang Mansion is just like this. The south side of this Anlu City is close to the Shitong River, and there are three gates, east, west and north, but these gates are all iron gates, and this is the first time they have seen them.

"This is his grandmother's, who built the city wall, it is so high, and so many towers have been built, if it is a hard attack, I don't know how many people will be lost! And there are tens of thousands of people in this city who defend the city. Zhang Xianzhong looked at the towering city wall and marveled in his heart.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops are still in the stage of mobile warfare, and there are no large-scale siege weapons at all, only simple siege ladders, siege rams and other basic things.

Li Dingguo saw such a city, if the rebel army attacked it, it might be able to take it, but it would suffer great losses.

"Your Majesty, unless we use the red-coated cannons of officers and soldiers, otherwise if we want to take such a city, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Or we can bypass this place and cross the river to the east. Li Dingguo knew that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to go to Wuchang Mansion, but going to Wuchang Mansion did not have to take Anlu City, it was okay to bypass it, with so many of them, the defenders in Anlu County did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, even if they really had tens of thousands of horses.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid if you're afraid, king, I'm willing to be the vanguard and break this small county town!" Sun Kewang stepped forward to ask for his life.

Pan Duao was leisurely on the side, and in the tall city wall, in his eyes, it seemed to be the same as the capital city of Fengyang City without a city wall.

"Don't be anxious, everything will be known until three o'clock tonight."

The day after Qin Yiming's army returned, rumors began to spread in Anlu County, and I don't know where the news came out, saying that the army of the murderous demon king Zhang Xianzhong actually had 100,000, and then it became 150,000, and then it became 200,000, and the more it was spread, the more exaggerated it became, and how powerful Zhang Xianzhong was, those officers and soldiers recruited by the imperial court were not opponents, and the soldiers of the Qianhu Guards in De'an Mansion were simply unable to protect Anlu City, giving up resistance, and the public opinion of Kaesong's surrender was spreading rapidly, although they knew that Zhang Xianzhong would rob and slaughter on a large scale, But those people knew that Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered those landlords and squires and those businessmen and giants, they had nothing to kill, these rumors directly spread into the ears of the people, and even to the ears of the officers and soldiers of the guard, many people have the idea of giving up defending the city, one is that they have no confidence to defend it, and the other is that none of them dare to come forward and be the first to say it, after all, Qin Yiming's prestige is above their heads, but Sun Shirui and others have nothing to do about it, They can't just go around killing people at this time, because that's probably counterproductive.

Zhang Xiaoshe has been regarded as a confidant by Qin Yiming since he followed Qin Yiming, and he has been reused, Zhang Xiaoshe is also grateful, and regards Qin Yiming as a benefactor for recreation, and does his best, and does not hesitate, when such rumors spread, Zhang Xiaoshe's urban management camp played an important role, he scattered those subordinates in the city, where there were those who gathered to spread rumors, the government could not come forward, so let the hooligans come forward, so that no one dared to mention it, and Zhang Xiaoshe took the lead in patrolling the streets, and those local thieves and thieves did not dare to show their faces.

Zhang Xiaoshe and a few of his subordinates patrolled the streets for most of the day, and their bodies were tired, so they took their brothers to Zuixiangju to eat and drink, and a few people sat down in the lobby, and soon a few rich businessmen dressed in brocade clothes came, among which one of them had a very thick beard on his face, which was particularly eye-catching, and Zhang Xiaoshe saw that the person went to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of wine are you, actually in a wine glass made of silver?" The bearded man asked, his eyes shining, staring at the display on the counter, which was a specially enlarged wine glass, at least the size of a bowl, filled with wine, such a large silver wine glass, as soon as the guests entered the door to see the wine.

"Hehe, this old man seems to be a foreigner, this silver wine cup is the most famous drunken and proud of our Anlu County, and we Anlu people know it." The shopkeeper explained proudly.

The thick-bearded rich merchant asked, "Drunk?" Haven't heard of it! How much is a pot? ”

"Hehe, ten taels of silver for a cup!" The shopkeeper said in an aggravated tone.

The thick-bearded rich merchant squeezed his thick eyebrows, his eyes were as big as bull's eyes, and he looked like he was about to get angry, but he didn't know why he was dying again, and after another look, he took the group to the lobby to find a table and sit down.

"Did you notice that bearded guy just now?" Zhang Xiaoshe asked, his eyes still staring at the group.

"Big brother, what's wrong, what's wrong with those guys?" One person asked.

Zhang Xiaoshe whispered: "I'm sure there is something wrong with those people, although he is talking to the shopkeeper about wine, but his eyes have been staring at the silver wine glass, and he has hardly left, a few of you, wait for an opportunity to deliberately find the stubble of those people, and wait for the people of the government to arrest you together." ”

"Big brother, since you think there is a problem with those people, why don't you arrest them directly, why do you have to make such trouble?" Another person next to him asked.

Zhang Xiaoshe knocked the man's head with wooden chopsticks and said, "Stupid, do you know that there are only a few of them?" What if there are accomplices? Wouldn't it startle the snake if you caught it directly? If they are caught by the officials for drinking and making trouble, then their accomplices in the shadows will not make a fuss even if they see it, and they will use their brains to do things! ”

Zhang Xiaoshe taught his subordinates a lesson with a look of hatred of iron and steel, and then motioned for them to find trouble with the bearded rich businessman, his subordinates were originally ruffians and hooligans, and they were the best at this kind of work, and soon they quarreled with the rich businessman, and finally scuffled together, so Zhang Xiaoshe successfully sent everyone to the county office's class.

"Bearded, do you know what a human being is?" Zhang Xiaoshe smiled evilly.

The fake rich gentleman Ling Ran was not afraid, and looked like Lao Tzu was a good man after eighteen years, and shouted: "Hmph, do you still have a royal law, why do you lock us up here?" What sins have we committed? ”

"Hehe, do you see the branch in my hand?" Zhang Xiaoshe held this withered branch with many branches in his left hand and looked at the beard.

The bearded man watched Zhang Xiaoshe break the branches of the tree one by one.

"Isn't it fun to chop your hands, chop off your feet, and chop off where you play with women? Would you like to try it? Zhang Xiaoshe's coldness made the bearded man afraid, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of such torture, next door to them, there were miserable screams.

"Hurry up and confess, you don't say that your accomplices will also confess, don't fool me, or I will let you have a good time here." Zhang Xiaoshe continued to threaten.

"I said, I said, we are subordinates of the Eight Kings......."
