Captain Wang Wei's unintentional words reminded Han Yu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he couldn't go to help defend the city, Han Yu asked himself if he could do more, and immediately started the idea of those private soldiers in the powerful mansions.

Most of these private soldiers are selected young and strong, and many of them are green forest heroes who have practiced martial arts all year round, although they have not received high-intensity military coordination training, but their combat effectiveness is not weak in hand-to-hand combat, and they can be used as reinforcements to fight.

In Han Yu's view, in most cases, the offensive and defensive sides between the cities are not just a game of will.

With the passage of time, it will gradually evolve into a tragic war of attrition, and reinforcements can sometimes greatly boost morale, if Han Yu can successfully win the support of the powerful and powerful, it may have a decisive role in defending Fengyang City, the cost of action is often less than waiting, Han Yu decided to try his best.

However, in order to train and recruit these obedient private soldiers, the powerful and powerful people in Fengyang City have paid a lot of price, they are not stones that can be seen everywhere, and they will never easily give these to Han Yu to defend the city because of the so-called righteousness such as defending the city, even if many powerful people know very well that once Fengyang City is broken, they will naturally be the first target of the Kou army's looting and slaughter, but they are more willing to let them live and die with the mansion than contribute their private soldiers.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Han Yu, who has been hiding behind the scenes, is not even a showman, if it weren't for Zhang Tanghuai's brother, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the mansion, and it is almost impossible to recruit a sufficient number of reinforcements from those high-ranking and arrogant magnates, but Han Yu is not a person who gives up easily, and he already has a general idea in his mind.

At the beginning, he killed Haoqiang Feng Ji and made an example, although it left a great hidden danger, but at this time, the deterrence is still there, these powerful and powerful people are very sorry for their lives, and no one wants to become the second Feng Ji, so Han Yu does not intend to continue to use force, more precisely, under the captain Wang Wei, who has been guarding Han Yu's side, there are only dozens of carefully selected elite soldiers, and it is not realistic to break through the mansion of the powerful and powerful from the outside.

Not every Haoqiang has a secret passage in his home, waiting for Han Yu to smash Huanglong, and things must be reversed, if these powerful and powerful people are forced to be in a hurry, once united, Han Yu has no ability to fight, the most important thing is that Zhang Tanghuai personally led all the main forces of the battalion, and he was fighting fiercely with the Kou army at the head of the city, and he couldn't draw troops to support at all, Han Yu decided to come to the door in person, maybe there was room for maneuver.

Han Yu, who had made up his mind, led dozens of heavily armed elite soldiers under the escort of Wang Wei and headed all the way towards Dongcheng.

However, the first stop is not to go to the mansion of the powerful and powerful, but to come to Zhengwupin, Zhizhou Xu Shang's mansion is located, learned of Han Yu's arrival, Zhizhou Xu Shang personally greeted him, although Han Yu did not have a reputation, according to the identity of just a grass people, but Xu Shang did not dare to underestimate, just the identity of Zhang Tanghuai's brother, it is enough to dominate Fengyang City, who let the three thousand Fengyang defenders all be controlled by Zhang Tanghuai, even the prefect Yan Rongxuan was imprisoned, and Feng Ji, a powerful official, was beheaded, Xu Shang dared to hold it up.

Xu Shang, the five-rank Zhizhou who hurriedly came out of the mansion, was dressed in a cyan splendid official uniform, with a lifelike white pheasant tattoo on his chest, and a smile on his face with a good temperament, he bowed to Han Yu slightly and said: "Han Gongzi is here, it really makes the mansion Peng shine, please, please!" ”

"Lord Zhizhou is polite, but the grass people are bothered." Han Yu bowed and followed Xu Zhizhou into the mansion.

The surrounding officials stood cautiously on both sides, looking at these battalion soldiers who were lined up in the courtyard of the government, holding the handle of the knife, with a fierce look on their faces, the persecutive murderous aura that was exuded from time to time could only be gradually formed after experiencing the battle formation, and the fierce eyes swept over, and suddenly frightened a few timid officials to take a few steps back, they usually bullied the common people and were crazy, but in the face of these battalion soldiers, they became cowards, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to look at them.

Zhizhou Xu Shang led Han Yu and Wang Wei into the mansion, and sat down with a few polite greetings.

Knowing that Han Yu had always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Xu Shang was not in a hurry to get straight to the point, and said first with a chuckle: "This official is old, so he will take a big one and call Han Gongzi a brother..."

"Lord Zhizhou's courtesy, the grass people are honored!" Han Yu bowed and hugged his fists, and there was no rudeness in paying attention to it.

"What's the matter, Brother Han looks down on this official?" Xu Zhizhou pretended to be displeased.

"Han Yu didn't dare, looked at Brother Xu Haihan," Since Xu Shang likes to be polite, Han Yu also immediately borrowed the ladder to go up the wall, his words paused slightly, and then the conversation changed, "Today, the little brother is here, and he does have an important matter to ask for, and I hope that Brother Xu will be successful!" ”

"Brother Han said that it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't violate the law and morality, everything within the official's duty will definitely be done!" Xu Shang smiled calmly, as if he had promised.

Han Yu secretly cursed in his heart: "Old fox! ”

This Xu Zhizhou seems to have a cordial attitude and completely promised, but it is based on the premise of Fadu morality, what is Fadu? What is Morality? It's not all up to Xu Shang to have the final say, once his interests are involved, as long as it is not within his responsibility, he can completely shirk the past.

"At this time, the Kou army attacked the city gate, once the city was broken and defeated, the younger brother I, as a relative of Zhang Qian, would naturally bear the brunt of death, but Brother Xu, as a governor of the state, is an official of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will also be difficult to escape the doom, and now the plan can only go all out to help the city gate to protect everything!" Time is pressing, Han Yu doesn't have time to go around in circles, and he explains the benefits and disadvantages in a conclusive way.

"What Brother Han said is extremely true, but the official really doesn't know how to help?" Xu Shang chuckled in response.

Xu Shang's face was impassive, he kept playing with the teacup he had just picked up, and looked at Han Yu with interest, as if he was not worried about the fate of the city after it was broken.

Han Yu sneered in his heart, this Xu Shang is really as happy and angry as the rumors, don't look at the surface to call him a brother, I'm afraid that he has already made a calculation in his heart, and what he said just now doesn't know how to help, it's just a pretext, presumably now he is waiting for Han Yu to make a condition, and sure enough, those who can be officials in the court are not simple roles, but although Xu Shang is not profitable and can't afford to be early, as long as the words are not finished, then there is value in negotiating.

Han Yu didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Wang Wei and gestured slightly, Wang Wei understood and respectfully handed over the package on his shoulder.

Zhizhou Xu Shang, who was sitting in the main seat, remained silent, maintained his usual playful smile, and quietly stared at the slightly heavy package in Han Yu's hand, even if he didn't open it, he could guess that the package must be a silver tael with white flowers, and it was obvious that Han Yu used the silver tael to impress Xu Shang.

It is true that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all the officials were corrupt, and it has become a trend that even Emperor Chongzhen could not control, the court officials were like this, the local officials were far away from the emperor, and the corruption and wealth were even more unscrupulous, and the officials who could not be moved by the silver two were probably only a handful, no matter how big the differences and grudges were, they could not get along with the silver two, Han Yu knew this, so he brought a lot of silver taels, as long as he held Fengyang City, Han Yu had a way to let these officials spit out the silver taels intact.

"Brother Han, you're hurting me!" Xu Zhizhou didn't look at the package on the table, but looked at Han Yu and sighed, "This official has a clean breeze on his sleeves, how can he do that corrupt thing, since Brother Han thinks that this official is just a corrupt official, don't talk about it today, please come back quickly!" Xu Shang's face was full of displeasure, and he waved his hand and ordered the eviction.

If he didn't know the details of Xu Shang in Zhizhou, Han Yu might really believe that he was a good official with two sleeves.

At the beginning, Han Yu asked the captain Wang Wei, but he collected a lot of information from the gangsters, some of which was conclusive, obviously this Xu Zhizhou's ass was not clean, and he said that the two sleeves were just casual talk, since these silver and two other parties didn't care, it showed that Xu Shang had a bigger plan.

"Han Yu has always respected Brother Xu, and he has not hidden it, please make it clear..."Han Yu got up and clasped his fists and saluted, looking at Xu Shang and asking.

"What this official asks for is simple, just the prefect Yan Rongxuan's right to detain..."Zhizhou Xu Shang sat down again, chuckling and looking at Han Yu to say the final conditions.
