Chapter 59 The Spy

Zhang Xian and his people quickly encountered trouble in the granary of Ezhou City, Jiang Yongcheng's grain and grass was okay to say, the original 3,000 stone grain and grass, directly transported 3,500 stones, more grain and grass in addition to making up for their own use, the rest of the grain and grass is not enough, Zhang Xian and others escorted the grain and grass is completely bad, because no one thinks that this will be what kind of grain and grass it is! Ezhou grain and grass received cool officials without deliberately making it difficult, they didn't dare to accept it at all, they looked at this brick-like thing one by one, and then looked at Zhang Xian, who had a calm face and even a smile, as if looking at a madman. Even Jiang Yongcheng looked at Zhang Xian's so-called grain and grass in a daze, and he didn't know what to say at all, because Jiang Yongcheng couldn't understand why Zhang Xian looked like a very smart and righteous person, why he would come up with this thing!

Just when everyone was talking about it, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Jiang Yongcheng took a closer look, wasn't it the Lu Wu who was looking for fault? Jiang Yongcheng was also anxious for Zhang Xian in his heart, walked up to Zhang Xian, and whispered:

"Brother Zhang, if you don't have enough grain and grass, a few hundred stones or something, my brother still knows a few officials in Ezhou, and you can overcome it if you think of a way, but what kind of bricks and grain and grass are you, I'm afraid you can't fool it!"

Zhang Xian was also very grateful for Jiang Yongcheng's kindness, and said to Jiang Yongcheng:

"Thank you Brother Jiang for your kindness, if this guard is determined to make things difficult for me, no matter how good your grain and grass are, you can find faults! Brother Jiang doesn't think that my grain and grass are not only fooled, but simply self-defeating, right? To tell you the truth, just now I have sent people to find which of the previous General Lu has gone. ”

Jiang Yongcheng heard Zhang Xian speak like this, and thought to himself, even if General Lu was easy to speak, it was estimated that he would not be able to save you. Thinking about it, with the wisdom and wisdom of Zhang Xian, it is absolutely impossible to do such an uncertain thing, let alone take his own life as a child's play, then there is only one possibility, this Brother Zhang in front of him must be confident, and he definitely has a move, otherwise, why is he so relaxed, Jiang Yongcheng made up his mind, if this Brother Zhang can still turn the danger into a disaster this time, whether it is outwitting or strengthening, it shows that this person is definitely not an ordinary ordinary man, and he must make friends sincerely, and he is definitely his mentor and friend.

Jiang Yongcheng's thoughts were still pondering, and Lu Wuneng's sharp voice came again:

"Lao Tzu heard that the grain and grass that someone transported to the army was shoddy, no, shoddy is not good, but what kind of broken bricks are used to fool around? Lao Tzu's soldiers are bleeding and fighting at the border, if it is found out that there are really thieves who use pigs and dogs as military rations, Lao Tzu will directly split him, and then send his whole family to the official for investigation! Where is the inspector? Which one has the problem? ”

As soon as Lu Wuneng's voice fell, a middle-aged man in his thirties hurriedly ran out, saluted Lu Wuneng, and said with a fist:

"Qiqi General Lu, the lower officials inspected the grain and grass escorted by the Yangzhou grain and salary officials, they have never seen it, they have never heard of it, they really don't know what it is, and they don't know if they can eat it, so the lower officials don't dare to accept it at all, so they have to ask General Lu to come to inspect it and make calculations."

Lu Wu was able to look at the grain inspector, pretended to commend and said:

"Well, you, the grain inspector, are also loyal to their duties and have done a good job, if you recover the losses for the imperial court and the entire Xiangyang army, Ben will definitely report your merits truthfully, and you will now take Ben to see what kind of tattered grain and grass you are talking about."

When the grain inspector heard what Lu Wuneng said, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Lu Wuneng with a smile:

"Your Majesty has thanked General Lu for your help, General Lu is here, please!"

When the grain inspector opened the linen cloth covering the grain cart, a strong fragrance spread throughout the entire granary, and even Lu Wuneng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Lu Wuneng saw that there were things like bricks neatly stacked on the carriage, the color was gray and fine, and it was quite heavy to hold in his hand, Lu Wuneng had been in the army for many years after all, although he was not very clear about the specific mystery, but it was obvious that this stupid boy had already made a good military ration, and he should be able to eat it directly, Lu Wuneng called his own soldiers and said:

"Stunned, how about you taste it?"

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he didn't care whether the pro-soldiers agreed or not, he broke off a piece and threw it to the pro-soldiers, glared at the pro-soldiers and said:

"Eat it and see what it tastes like?"

Lu Wuneng's personal soldiers are big and round, and they don't dare to eat this small piece of dry food slowly, as if it is really poisonous, and the angry Lu Wuneng scolded:

"His grandmother's second stunned, did you hear Lao Tzu telling you to eat? If I poison you, Lao Tzu will kill their whole family to avenge you! Eat! ”

The pro-soldier saw that the master was anxious, and he was afraid of being settled by the autumn queen, so he closed his eyes and swallowed the dry food in one bite, because he did not drink water, the dry food turned into a fine dry powder in the throat of the pro-soldier, and choked the pro-soldier's face was red and coughed, and this cough sprayed out a large piece of white mist powder, which frightened the other sergeants to think that the dry food was poisonous, and I don't know who shouted:

"Be careful, you see that the second stunned man must have been poisoned, everyone, the second stunned man fell to the ground, and his face turned the color of pig liver!"

When Lu Wuneng saw this situation, he was greatly surprised in his heart, could it be that this was the poisoned grain deliberately transported by the Tartar spies? Where did Lu Wuneng dare to pretend, and immediately shouted:

"Immediately surround these Tartar spies, and not a single one of them will be allowed to escape!"

Zhang Xian didn't expect that Lu Wuneng's pro-soldier would swallow the dry food directly because he was afraid of being poisonous, and before he could say that he wanted him to drink water, the pro-soldier was already choked and his face was red, and he sprayed out dry food powder, and he fainted without a smooth breath, Zhang Xian scolded in his heart, you are so special that Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit, why don't you choke you to death! There's no way, now it's a moment and a half and it's jumping into the Yellow River and can't wash it!

What's even more depressing is that Jiang Yongcheng has always regarded Zhang Xian as a dragon and phoenix among people, and he still wants to make friends in depth, and the scene he just saw made Jiang Yongcheng really suspect that Zhang Xian was a spy or spy of the Tartars, and for a while, Jiang Yongcheng was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do.

Lu Wuneng walked up to Zhang Xian, looked at Zhang Xian, and said:

"Hmph, I really didn't expect you, I thought you were a little grasshopper, I never thought that you were a Tartar spy, Lao Tzu said that the group of family members you brought with you looked like a group of strong soldiers, and they dared to pretend in front of Lao Tzu! Today, you are the silver that was sent to Lao Tzu, catch a hundred Tartar spies, how about Lao Tzu will be promoted to two levels, and the reward will be more than 1,000 silver, to be honest, who did you instruct to come here in addition to poisoning, what other military information do you want to investigate? Honestly, I confessed that I suffered less flesh and skin! ”

Zhang Xian saw that the people around him all regarded themselves as Tartar spies, and the sergeants brought by Lu Wuneng had already surrounded this place densely, and his men and horses under the command of Niu Dameng immediately set up a defensive formation, ready to meet at any time. Jiang Yongcheng stood between himself and the defenders, in a dilemma, I don't know whether to retreat to the defenders, or come to his side, in fact, Zhang Xian doesn't blame Jiang Yongcheng, after all, if he knows that he is suspected of being a Tartar spy and has to maintain an intimate relationship with himself, that is his heart can be punished, now Jiang Yongcheng is in a dilemma, at least on the surface, Jiang Yongcheng still trusts himself a little, but now the situation is unclear, I don't know what to choose, as a friend who has known each other for only half a day, Zhang Xian feels that this is enough!

Zhang Xian smiled at Lu Wuneng and said:

"General Lu, this official is neither a Tartar spy, nor a Tartar spy, rest assured, General Lu's own soldiers are not poisoned, they are just gobbling up and choking, and it will be fine if you go smoothly in one breath! Eating dry food is like being a man, you have to be generous and slow, if you have to gobble up the chicken intestines with a small belly, otherwise you can only be ugly! ”

That Lu Wuneng was ridiculed by Zhang Xian, the matter had not been clarified yet, this kid dared to be so rampant, Lu Wuneng was even more angry in his heart, and shouted:

"Since you don't know life or death, Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"

After Lu Wuneng finished speaking to Zhang Xian, he turned around and shouted at the sergeant:

"The shield soldiers are ready to press up, if you dare to give feedback, the archers will give me arrows, and all the Tartars in front of me will be killed!"

When Lu Wuneng finished giving the order, a group of sergeants faintly walked outside the human wall, and a general stood on a high platform, quietly watching the progress of things here.

Zhang Xian saw that the other party was really going to start using the knife soldiers, and immediately returned to the family team under the urging of Luo Tiantian and Zhang Fan, Zhang Xian was upset for a while, it was really Xiucai who met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable to say, if he had to turn his face with Da Song now, it would not be a wise move, but at the moment it was important to save his life, and said to Niu Dameng:

"Niu Dameng, you are responsible for setting up the defensive formation, the spear formation is divided into three echelons to defend step by step, those ten archers will concentrate all the bows and arrows for me, and when the official gives an order, no matter who else, just shoot that Lu Wuneng!" Fang Kun, you protect the carts and horses that carry gold and silver treasures, there must be no accidents, Jiang Wei, you lead all the other people, when the officers and soldiers are close to two feet away, prop up the sackcloth to block the bow and arrows, the people just push the grain cart to hit me, and when the officers and soldiers are scattered and flee, Niu Dameng covers you to withdraw immediately, and you must not pursue, although our number is small, but as long as we form a hedgehog formation, we can't rely on these officers and soldiers! Do you have faith? ”

When Zhang Xian finished the last sentence, these family members and people who had experienced the test of true and false mountain bandits were now worshiping Zhang Xian, and it seemed that everything was under the control of this young Zhang adult, especially these people, and Zhang Xian's family was not short of time, when I heard that Zhang Xian's family members were loyal, as long as they dared to work hard, the income of the owner was higher than that of the old master who taught in the private school, and they all envied Harazi's long stream, especially when they encountered a battle with mountain bandits, Those people who dared to stay and live and die with Zhang Xian were all adopted by this young Master Zhang, which means that they have a real golden rice bowl, and even the families of these people can go to Zhang's mansion to make a living. In this era, the conditions for recruiting family members issued by the Zhang Mansion have no immunity at all for these people, not to mention that this Lord Zhang is smart and wise, and everyone has personally learned it.

Under the leadership of Niu Dameng, this group of family members and people let out a huge cry like the sky and the earth cracking:

"Swear to follow Lord Zhang, swear to follow Lord Zhang, kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”

The shouts of these family members and people shook the world, and this momentum not only shocked the sergeants on the other side, but even Lu Wuneng couldn't help but wonder, what kind of thing is that kid on the other side, this is all fish and meat on someone else's board, and his grandmother is so angry? Could it be that this kid is dizzy, he wants to rely on the flesh and blood of a hundred people without armor to fight one against ten?
