At three o'clock, two torches and four knives, a group of five people entered the area of Wanghu Village.

"Who?!" A loud shout was particularly piercing in the silence of the night.

"The envoy of the rebel army of Yanzhou Mansion asks to see Nanyang Zhang Ye! There is a big event to discuss, please introduce us! ”

The person who came was polite, and the secret whistle hidden in the dark only then appeared.

You're welcome, it's more than a mile away from Wanghu Village, and there are even secret sentinels to be deployed, especially after they appeared, among the three of them, the one with a knife was not enough, and the other two were actually armed with muskets.

Even if he heard that the gang of fierce men in Wanghu Village had a large number of muskets and killed the government forces in Nanyang in one fell swoop, this sentry was so vigilant and equipped with muskets, which was a luxury.

The weapons of their own rebels, including kitchen knives, account for less than one of the knife soldiers, most of them have a wooden stick, and the rest only take a dead branch, I am afraid that they can only shout and cheer.

Even if the messenger was extremely poor, he had never been so ashamed of himself.

He can be chosen as a messenger, he is also a person who can speak well and have a strong will, and he is a close confidant, only a short period of frustration, but soon regained his confidence, and there was a greedy light in his eyes.

The one with the knife led the way, and the other two musketeers only hung far behind them, and the escort was generally not closer, so that the messenger secretly hated in his heart, and people were guarding their own side, and it seemed that this night's trip was not easy.

On the way into the village, he encountered three secret sentinels and interrogated him three times, even the envoy had nothing to say, fortunately his own leader did not rush to attack, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss at night.

All the way to the courtyard of Zhuangshang, under the candle flame of the main hall, Zhang Zhen sat on it, except for a woman, only four people stood next to him, each holding a knife and gun as if loose.

The envoy didn't dare to slack off, bent down and bowed: "Li Wenshan, the envoy of the righteous army of Yanzhou Mansion, pays a visit to Zhang Ye!" ”

Zhang Zhen got up and said with a smile: "Come as a guest, no need to be polite, the envoy please take a seat." ”

Although Zhang Zhen was polite, the envoy didn't dare to hold it up, this was obviously the rhythm of saluting first and then soldiering, all that mattered was whether he could impress the other party with his own three-inch incorruptible tongue.

"Thank you Master Zhang!"

This Li Wenshan bowed again, and then sat on the guest seat, and Liu served tea.

The two sides said a few polite words, each tasted two sips of tea, and after looking at each other, Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "This night is deep, Zhang Zhen is also a little tired, and the envoy is not passing by at night, right?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

It's too straightforward! Li Wenshan's expression tightened, he thought for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Wenshan's family has been in the middle of the road for several years, and now he has fallen to this point without clothes and food. ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Zhang Zhen once promised that after the wheat harvest, tenants will be recruited, if the envoy rebels, come to my village, a few acres of land and dozens of catties of grain, this blessing is still there." ”

"Zhang Ye laughed." Li Wenshan smiled bitterly: "Although Wenshan has a heart, if this rebellion is not successful, unless you can get away with it, it will be a big crime to kill your head, and with such consequences, it is not easy to talk about farming." ”

After that, he praised and said: "On the contrary, it is Zhang Ye, who has planted this amazing field with an output of more than ten stones per mu, and it will be famous all over the world in the near future, even if the court knows about it, I am afraid that it will be rewarded!" The only pity is that Zhang Ye has a great future, so why rebel? On the contrary, he robbed us and other pioneers, and took this Nanyang in one fell swoop, putting my righteous army in a dilemma. ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Zhang Zhen is different from the righteous army, and now he just wants to guard the family business, and the government exploits my tenants, Zhang Zhen can't see it, and there is no reason to give in, so he took this town, but you wait for the righteous army, don't think about destroying the city and pulling out the village to capture the strong city, what are the plans for this small place in Nanyang?" ”

Li Wenshan smiled bitterly: "This Nanyang is one of the four famous towns of the canal, there is countless money and grain, and it is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as a strong city, but if it is taken, it is good to fight when the righteous soldiers of the righteous army are full." ”

"It's also a wish!" The envoy smiled: "We are still thinking about starting a fire at night, how do I know that Zhang Ye is resolute, and he actually took Nanyang in one fell swoop, which was regarded as the most difficult hard bone by us and other hundred households, and was also swept away by Zhang Ye without injury to a soldier and a pawn, such a feat, plus Zhang Zhen's killing of officials There is no way out, why don't Zhang Ye and my righteous soldiers unite and conspire together?" ”

Zhang Zhen smiled and asked, "Conspiracy?" Who's in charge? ”

Li Wenshan said with a smile: "We have gathered more than 20,000 people, fortunately, Zhang Ye has such a sharp weapon as a musket, if he joins the gang, he will be the second leader, and he can have thousands of troops in a blink of an eye, and he is covered by the name of the king, so he no longer needs to be afraid of the government, but it is not the best of both worlds?" ”

"That's it!" Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "The envoy is named after Wenshan, I think it is the ancestor who looked out of the literati, he should be literate, but have you ever seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

Li Wenshan said with a smile: "Wenshan admires Mr. Wolong's loyal courtiers the most, and always takes Shu Xiang as a lifelong example, how can he be unlucky, and he has not even been a talent in high school in the cold window for ten years, and he has never gained fame, but this is a book related to Mr. Wolong, Wenshan has still read it, especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has been read more than ten times, not to mention that it is like a stream, and he can always remember a rough one, I don't know what Zhang Ye asked about this?" But the school Wenshan? ”

"Sort of?" Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Do you know the only thing that the three families have in common in the book?" Well, that's where they have in common? ”

After a long hesitation, Li Wenshan said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have some similarities with Eastern Wu, and the rest of Cao Cao is treacherous and similar to Dong Zhuo, but this Uncle Liu Huang is sincere, otherwise he will not be able to get Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma Huang Wuhu will be assisted by Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, if it is said that several other families have something in common, it is possible, but this Uncle Liu Huang, that is standing out from the crowd, there is no reason to connect!" This Shu Wenshan did not dare to agree. ”

Zhang Zhenpin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the million army is still the 800,000 army and the 700,000 army, the similarity is that it is all blown out by scaring people!" More than 20,000? Zhang Zhenshe porridge, how can you not know the hungry people around here? With more than 10,000 victims, it's good that you can subdue the seven achievements! Still igniting the fire at night? This should be true, but this target is Nanyang Town or Wanghu Village, you and I know it, I really think that your soldiers are surrounded by Wanghu Village in three places, Zhang Zhen doesn't know at all? ”

Li Wenshan's old face turned red after hearing this, and he said, "Master Zhang, I misunderstood... Yes, it's a misunderstanding! It's not that I thought that Zhang Ye was also like other landlords, treating the hungry people as grass mustard, Zhang Ye took Nanyang, and I only knew Zhang Ye's heart, it was the same passerby, fortunately, the water almost washed the Dragon King Temple and caused a catastrophe! It's an unintentional mistake for us, and I hope that Zhang Ye Haihan. ”

"Hahahaha!!" Zhang Zhen laughed and said, "Which one was just now?" What to say, 'The method of taking a cut of tenants is unheard of, and the mercy for tenants is rare in the world, and they only hate that they are not blessed. 'Do you want to take Nanyang to know your heart? Today, Zhang Zhen will put the words here, if you want to unite the army, I will sit on the top spot, otherwise, Zhang Zhen is not bad for those thousands of people, everyone fights according to their abilities, see if this Nanyang is surnamed Zhang or Dong! ”
