Seeing Wang Scorpion behaving like this, Liu Renyu couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, it's still a sugar-coated cannonball, and this guy looks very willing now." ”

After feeling emotional, Liu Renyu smiled and asked Wang Scorpion: "Since you are willing to cooperate with me, why don't you ask me curiously why I did this?" ”

"My lord, although I haven't seen much of the world and haven't read any books, I still know that I don't ask what I shouldn't ask, don't listen to what I shouldn't hear, and don't say what I shouldn't say, otherwise I won't be able to live a long life." Wang Scorpion smiled and said slowly.

"No wonder you can be a big boss, you do have this emotional intelligence. Okay, there you go. Liu Renyu said.

"Emotional intelligence!? What came from? Wang Scorpion didn't understand whether the word EQ was praised or depreciated by Liu Renyu, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to speculate that EQ was a magic horse, and at the same time returned to the cottage with Li Jiye.

When Wang Scorpion returned to the cottage, the bandits were naturally happy, and he summoned three masters to drag out Liu Renyu's arrangement and the plan to attack Zhangjiabao.

After listening to Li Jiye's reading of the battle plan and explaining the topographical map of the mountains and rivers, their confidence rose sharply for no reason, and when they saw the silver and grain sent by Liu Renyu, they became even more eager to go to war. As for the safety of their family's lives, it's useless to think about it, it's better not to think about it, let's fight the fucking battle first.

Seeing that there was no objection from a few masters, Wang Scorpion gathered all the staff, distributed a reward of silver, sent tasks, and promised not to name them one day after breaking Zhangjiabao.

The mountain bandits took the salary, and they also heard that there were additional benefits, they could rob his mother, and they could sleep with their mothers, and their morale was naturally high.

Seeing that the army was available, Wang Scorpion ordered the smiling tiger to take the remaining grain after the distribution and all the horse troops in the cottage to look for the homeless people around. The king scorpion is called the smiling tiger, no matter what method is used, you must gather enough homeless people, the more the better, and you will not feel distressed if you die anyway.

Hearing this, the smiling tiger nodded again and again, and then took dozens of horsemen and knights to find the homeless people.

After the smiling tiger left, Wang Scorpion left a few veterans to guard the cottage, and then took nearly 100 people in the cottage who could hold knives and guns, and went straight to Zhangjiabao, 50 miles to the northeast.

The news of Wang Scorpion's opening was quickly transmitted to Liu Renyu's camp by Li Jiye's fast horse, and Renyu sent Liu Baichuan, the deputy flag chief of the miners' banner, to take off his military uniform, and after changing his disguise, Keri set off to meet Wang Scorpion's department.

The second day after the scorpion headquarters of the soldiers and horses set off, they arrived at Zhangjiabao, the next morning, the smiling tiger captured a total of more than 500 displaced people, and the king scorpion headquarters soldiers and horses together. The morale of Wang Scorpion's troops was greatly boosted, and he immediately cut down trees to make ladders, preparing to attack Zhangjiabao.

The Great War is imminent!

*******************************************************************************

"Master, master, big, big, it's not good," this is Zhang Jinxian, the big housekeeper of Zhangjiabao, running towards the flower hall where Master Zhang is while running in a hurry.

At this time, the old man Zhang was making tea in the flower hall and tasting the paintings, when he was not comfortable, he didn't expect Zhang Jinxian to push the door suddenly, and the maid who was pouring tea for the old man Zhang was taken aback, her hand trembled, and she spilled some tea on the painting that the old man Zhang bought.

Seeing this, Master Zhang's face trembled, he first glared at Zhang Jinxian angrily, and then shouted at the unlucky servant: "What are you doing here, you broke my painting, but the old man spent a lot of money to buy it." ”

When the maid saw that she had broken the master's painting, and thought of the master's temper, she couldn't help but sift the chaff all over her body, and said tremblingly: "The maid should die, I'll dry the master." ”

"No need, this painting has dried, it's not taken off its true colors, what's the use, since you say that you deserve to die, then good, people come." Master Zhang shouted outside the door.

"Yes, sir." A doorman answered.

"Drag this clumsy fool out and kill it, and throw it into a mass grave to feed the wolves." Master Zhang said hatefully.

"Yes." The man replied with a blank face.

"The master spares his life, the servant knows that he is wrong, I will never dare in the future, master," the maid never expected that she was going to die today, she was only 15 years old, of course she didn't want to die, so she grabbed Master Zhang's legs, and cried while asking for mercy.

To say that Master Zhang is also dozens of years old, but his skills are extremely athletic, he kicked the begging servant in the face, kicked the servant dizzy, and his hand involuntarily let go.

"Look, stupid thing, what's the use of the old man raising you? Don't pull this son out yet. Master Zhang shouted at the man.

"yes, the little one is going to get her out." When the man saw that the old man was angry, he hurriedly dragged the maid away.

"Squeak", the door of the flower hall closed, and Master Zhang sat on the chair with a black face, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are also an old man who has been with me for many years, why are you so unruly, what is so noisy?" If the old man's interest is ruined, you listen well, if you don't have this painting, you won't splash water, so if what you say is not important, be careful about your legs. ”

After Master Zhang said this, the sweat on the butler's forehead came out, but when he remembered the importance of that matter, he felt that this time was enough to pass the test, he said: "Master, it's not that I don't know the etiquette, but today is really a disaster, there are a lot of mountain bandits gathered outside our fort, look at the number of people, I'm afraid there are not thousands of people, they are clamoring at this time to say that they are going to wash our Zhangjiabao." ”

"That's true." Master Zhang listened to the housekeeper's words, and was shocked for no reason, originally Zhangjiabao was located in the border of northern Shaanxi, and the Mongols, thieves, and bandits had all seen it, but like this, nearly a thousand people came at a time, but they had never seen it, so it was impossible for Master Zhang not to be afraid.

"Then how is it good, there are so many thieves here, can you hold it, ah, by the way, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you send someone to Ansai County to ask the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue." Master Zhang has never been very worried about the defense of the fort, so he still thinks that Zhangjiabao can't hold it.

"Master, I know, I will immediately send someone to Ansai County to invite the officials and soldiers to come to the rescue, but before that, we have to defend it first." The housekeeper has been in Zhangjiabao for many years, and he is responsible for all the defense arrangements, so he is very confident in Zhangjiabao's defense.

"Then can we hold it?" Master Zhang asked.

"Master, don't you know, the defense in our fort is only afraid that even the county will be envious."

"Oh, what do you say, you can tell me."

"I have been to Ansai County, and found that the city wall of the county is two zhang high, as high as our fort wall, and there are family members in our fort who are favored by the lord and can defend against the enemy, with nearly 300 tenants, and the soldiers of the county, I looked, in addition to the 20 guards who garrisoned the adults, they are still elite, and the rest of the soldiers are different from the strong men in our fort? And we still have 20 guns made by Seiko, so no one in Ansai City uses firearms yet? We still have 5 tiger squat guns, and there are only 5 in the county, in comparison, our tiger squat guns are newer, so I said that our defense is better than the county, if we don't have the ability to fight seriously, we can defend our Zhangjiabao without the help of the official army. Steward Zhang said proudly.

"If the officers and soldiers want you to be so unbearable, then how can we count on them?" When Master Zhang heard that his housekeeper had degraded the officers and soldiers to worthlessness, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Hey, master, I'm not cheering you up, no matter how powerful we are, how can we defeat the soldiers who often fight on the battle array, not to mention anything else, just the family members of the garrison adults can be one as ten, and the thieves and bandits are afraid of the official army, and the officials and soldiers have arrived, and before the battle, the bandits and thieves have collapsed."

"Hey, let's talk about it, you still have to ask the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue, you go and do it, and you must block the strongmen outside, if you have any requirements, just say." Old Master Zhang knew that the emperor was not a hungry soldier, so he asked.

"Master, I have been following the master for most of my life, what is the use of rewarding, I just hope that the master will hand over the power to defend Zhangjiabao to me, how to reward, how to punish are handed over to me, only a generous reward, heavy punishment, can make Ding Zhuang in the fort obey the order." The housekeeper is a non-scholar, as long as he is a scholar, he has the intention of being Zhuge Liang. This will be easy to seize the opportunity to command Ding Zhuang to fight, and Steward Zhang naturally wants to perform well.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, keep our Zhangjiabao safe, don't shirk, I will have a heavy reward." When Master Zhang saw that his housekeeper looked full of confidence, his confidence naturally rose a lot, and he promised.

"Master Xie, I'll arrange it, master and be relieved." After Zhang Jinxian finished speaking, he closed the door of the flower hall and retreated.

As soon as Zhang Jinxian came out of the gate of the flower hall, he straightened his waist pole that had been bent, and ran to the front yard in a broken step.

After a while, the third son of the Zhang family, the eldest Zhang Changguo, the second Zhang Changzong, and the third Zhang Changwen took the lead in arriving from the backyard, and the other sect heads, the head of the grange and the village appeared in turn.

"Old man, I heard that a group of strongmen came from outside the fort, saying that they were going to wash our Zhangjiabao, is it true?" It was Zhang Changwen who spoke, he had always been close to Zhang Jinxian, so he asked.

"Yes, Third Young Master. Don't be in a hurry, I'll take people to guard them, and I won't let them in. Zhang Jinxian said.

"Old man, I learned a martial art, and I'm worried that I don't have a place to use it, and I want to meet those thieves." The boss Zhang Changguo has been practicing martial arts with martial artists since he was a child, and now it is easy to get a chance to fight, so he naturally wants to fight hard.

"Young master, you are a golden body, just leave the matter of the fight to me and other subordinates, if you are injured, I will not be able to explain it to the master, so you can supervise the battle on the side, and don't go into battle to fight." Zhang Jinxian said.

"It's ........, alas, well. Just follow the old man. "Although Zhang Jinxian is theoretically the slave of the Zhang family, he has been with Master Zhang for many years after all, and now Master Zhang doesn't care much about things, and Zhang Jinxian is in charge of all the affairs in the castle, so that several sons of the Zhang family dare not offend Zhang Jinxian.

For example, now, Zhang Changguo wanted to fight, but Zhang Jinxian didn't allow it, so he had to give up.

Seeing that several young masters no longer asked questions, Zhang Jinxian began to assign tasks, and he ordered: "Where is the grass flying?" ”

"The villain is here," Flying on the grass replied.

"With you taking 3 people, each with two horses, take the path to Ansai County for help, remember to speak, we are asking people to go, don't be reckless."

"Yes," the grass snapped and left.

"Listen, everyone, you all know the virtues of the bandits, the fort is broken, your family property will be robbed, the chastity of the lady in the family will not be guaranteed, and the daughter will be ruined, and even the life will not be saved. If you want to keep your property, your life, and not be cuckolded, kill the thief to my death. You let it go, kill a thief, reward 10 silver, kill a thief, it belongs to the Zhang family, and it is written into the family tree, and from now on it is the Zhang family, not the Zhang family, and the rent is free for three years. I will give you a great reward, and when you go up the wall, you will fight against the enemy, and if anyone dares to escape. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jinxian suddenly shouted: "Where is Wang Yidao?" ”

"A knife is here, what does the old gentleman command?" Wang Yidao asked.

"You take a team of men and horses, watch from the city wall, and if there are people who retreat, kill them, understand?"

"Yes, I remembered it."

"Everyone else went to call the tenants in their own hands and sent them swords, in addition, Zhang Congzhe,"

"In,"

"Your firearms team, you have to command it well."

"Yes."

"Zhang Congxun."

"In,"

"Collect manure and urine from house to house and make golden soup."

"Yes."

"Where is the head of the Lin sect?"

"Yes."

"Order the home and nursery, and supervise the battle with me at the head of the city."

"Yes."

"You all go and prepare, and when I go to the city, within the three drums, you must go to the city to set up defenses, otherwise you will not be spared."

Everyone responded, "Yes." And he began to go his own way.
