Chapter Thirty-Seven: Their Own Schemes

Cao Zongyu put a package on the table and untied it violently, and a silver ingot shone brightly under the light of the fire.

"Here are four hundred taels of silver." Cao Zongyu said: "These four hundred taels of silver are for you, and tomorrow night, I will see enough people." ”

Cao Tie said: "These four hundred taels of silver can probably be exchanged for a little food, as long as there is food, there will be manpower, but what does the eldest prince want to do?" ”

"Break the city, I want Cheng Wenying to look good." Cao Zongyu said viciously.

The noise at the south gate soon subsided. And before the South City Gate disappeared, Cao Zongyu had already returned. As soon as he came in, Zhang Xuan greeted him and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Cao Zongyu said: "Don't worry. It's all already arranged. In a day or two, we can gather a group of people, but how do we communicate with the outside world now? ”

The scene of the south city gate has hit the key point of the inside and outside, and now the city gate is closed, and there is no possibility of internal and external communication between the two sides. After the two sides lose contact, if they can't cooperate with each other, how can they break the city?

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said, "The only way to do this now is to find a way to get through Cheng Wenying's joints." How much silver do we have? ”

Cao Zongyu said: "There are probably more than 100 taels. ”

Zhang Xuan was in the room, pacing slowly, and said, "I may be able to draw a piece of pie for him." ”

In the camp of the rebels.

"Last night, there was a noise at the south gate of Nanyang, and the child sent someone to investigate, and found that the officers and soldiers lit a fire outside the city gate, and made a loud shout of killing, and there was movement in the city, and today there are hundreds of heads hanging on the city gate, and the people who want to come to us are finished." Luo Yulong said.

"Is there a head of Zhang Xuan?" Luo Rucai rubbed his eyes and said.

"Nope." Luo Yulong said. "Father, this Nanyang City is strong after all, let's go around the city."

"Nope." Luo Rucai said: "Zhang Xianzhong can defeat Xiangyang Mansion, how can I, Cao Cao, not even defeat Nanyang Mansion?" ”

Compared with Xiangyang Mansion, Nanyang Mansion is much worse than Xiangyang Mansion.

"But." Luo Yulong said: "Xiangyang Mansion was brought down by surprise, Nanyang Mansion has already taken precautions, and some children have inquired that the current Nanyang Prefect is an old acquaintance, Yan Riyu." He's not a good-natured character. ”

As soon as Luo Rucai heard the three words Yan Riyu, a kind of anger erupted in his heart, and he also remembered the scene of the defeat to Yan Riyu at the beginning, but Luo Rucai quickly suppressed this anger.

If he had been rash, Luo Rucai would have died I don't know how many times.

He knew that Nanyang was a hard bone. But Luo Ru had the reason why he had to fight.

That is Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai seem to be intimate, as if they are one, but after all, they are not one, even if they are one, there are still dirty feelings between each other, not to mention the alliance of the two rebel armies.

Zhang Xianzhong is the kind of person who is rampant when he gets his will.

Luo Rucai obviously felt that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to interfere in his own camp arrangements. Zhang Xianzhong intends to merge the two armies, although the speed is not fast, but there are already signs of this.

Luo Rucai is also not willing to submit to others. Even Zhang Xianzhong. Although Luo Rucai didn't want to be the emperor, but the strength of his command, the elite troops did not need Zhang Xianzhong to be less, where was Luo Rucai willing to give Zhang Xianzhong a low and small.

Therefore, Luo Rucai must fight Nanyang, which also means to demonstrate to Zhang Xianzhong. It's just that Luo Yulong never understood this, which made Luo Rucai extremely angry, and said: "If you can't earn the city, you will attack it, in short, this Nanyang City must be defeated." ”

Luo Yulong said with doubts in his heart: "Yes." "After that, I have to go down and make arrangements.

"Come back." Luo Rucai said: "Your sister asked about Zhang Xuan and wanted to hide it from her. ”

As soon as Luo Yulong thought of Luo Yujiao's appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart and said: "My sister is dead and wants to marry that stinky boy, if this kid comes back, come according to my sister's wishes." ”

"Less nonsense." Luo Rucai shouted.

"Yes." Luo Yulong didn't dare to talk back to Luo Rucai, agreed, and left immediately.

"Hey, my son can't help it." Luo Rucai muttered.

Nanyang Prefecture County Yazhong.

"Congratulations, congratulations, my lord, my lord surrounded and suppressed the same party in the city in one fell swoop last night, and it is really the power of the adults to protect Nanyang City from danger to safety." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

"Hou Gongzi Miao praised." Cheng Wenying said: "This is the work of Lord Yan's planning, how dare this official take credit?" ”

Cheng Wenying felt that after last night's visit, the gangsters in the city had almost cleaned up. And there are also a few who were captured alive. These people don't have any tenacious will, and they fall into the government's mansion, and they are all recruited in three strokes and two clicks.

There were no other accomplices, and Hou Maosheng did not confess.

In this way, Cheng Wenying felt that Hou Maosheng's suspicion had been reduced a lot. Cheng Wenying also didn't want to offend Zuo Liangyu and the Hou family behind Hou Maosheng. The attitude towards Hou Maosheng is a little better.

"My lord, the students are here to ask for something." Zhang Xuan said with a chuckle on his face: "It's a shame to say that I can't study anymore, and if I get a reputation for being a showman, I can't read anymore." ”

Cheng Wenying twisted his beard slightly, he was born in a lifting family, and he was most familiar with the imperial examination. When I heard this, I was a little self-conscious about my identity.

"As a last resort." Zhang Xuan said matter-of-factly: "The clan asked me to find a reputation from the martial arts. ”

"The virtuous nephew is so literate, but it's a pity to embark on a martial path." Cheng Wenying casually perfunctory, secretly wondering in her heart, what does Zhang Xuan want to do?

"This world is also chaotic, and one more martial arts position can be regarded as protecting the countryside." Zhang Xuan seemed to say casually. In fact, every word Zhang Xuan says now has been rehearsed repeatedly with Cao Zongyu, and even the routine of seeking a martial arts position was also told by Cao Zongyu that his grandfather Cao Lin had this idea at the beginning.

Of course, Cheng Wenying can't hear any flaws, there is such chaos on the ground in Henan, I don't know how many people want to seek a martial arts position to protect their family, which is also common.

"The little nephew, the joints have been opened, and he only needs some military exploits and reports to the court, and the little nephew can get a job of a hundred households in Guide, and the little nephew originally wanted to return to Guide and find a way. Today, I met my uncle who was so wise and martial, and the little nephew wanted to ask my uncle to be accommodating and replace a few military exploits. Zhang Xuan said.

Cheng Wenying didn't understand what Zhang Xuan meant, the so-called replacement of military merits is very simple, it is an elegant way of saying buying heads.

The Ming Dynasty recorded military exploits with heads. Therefore, this military merit is the head.

Zhang Xuan said: "Uncle gave a few, just a few, but I also asked my uncle to write a clever pen and attach the name of the little nephew to the fold." ”

Cheng Wenying said secretly: "I said this kid, how can it be like this?" ”

It has become a habit to kill good people and take off their merits, and it is really easy to find a few heads who pretend to be military merits. Why do you need to start in Nanyang, it turned out to be Cheng Wenying's recommendation.

Cheng Wenying has no more doubts.

This is exactly the usual operation method of civil officials, their own family recommends their own family's children, and it is easy to be attacked by others for using power for personal gain, but there is no problem when others recommend them, but it is called Tongqi Lianzhi.

However, Cheng Wenying did not speak, but was silent.

There is no benefit, why should Cheng Wenying speak for Zhang Xuan, Cheng Wenying is hinting that Zhang Xuan wants to give benefits.

This is what Zhang Xuan finds the most difficult thing to do.

He had no money.

The reason why Zhang Xuan came to tell Cheng Wenying about this matter has two reasons, one is to try to wash away his suspicions, and the other is to give himself an excuse to leave, if Zhang Xuan leaves in a hurry, Cheng Wenying will be suspicious, but if Zhang Xuan entrusts him to do things well and then leave, Cheng Wenying will not suspect it.

Of course, the reason given to Cao Zongyu was to find a way to delay time. Deceive Cheng Wenying's trust, as long as Cheng Wenying trusts him, even if he can't break Nanyang City with the inside and outside, he can find a way to kill Cheng Wenying, and then they will take the door and leave.

can be regarded as avenging Cao Zongyu.

Just when Zhang Xuan was about to open his mouth, he listened to "dang, dang, dang." Cheng Wenying sat up abruptly and said loudly, "What's the matter?" How did someone ring the alarm. ”

"My lord, my lord is not good, the rogue is attacking the city."
