Chapter 17 First Strikes First

Yuyang County.

Yuyang Taishou Mansion. I saw that the people in the house were in and out, all of them were soldiers and small servants, and under the command of the steward, they all carried or carried or carried the decorations and utensils of the entire Taishou Mansion out of the house and loaded them into the carriage.

Zhang Chun, the second son of the head of the Zhang family, a local tyrant in Yuyang, is currently the head of Yuyang County. At this time, Zhang Chunzheng was sitting in the living room of the Taishou Mansion, and said to the housekeeper standing aside: "How is it?" ”

"If you go back to the master, it's basically empty." The butler lowered his eyebrows and said.

"Hmm" Zhang Chun nodded, put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up, and walked out.

As soon as Zhang Chun left the gate of Taishou's mansion, a man came galloping on a horse. The man arrived in front of Zhang Chun, turned over and dismounted, looked at the several carriages that were about to leave, and looked a little worried.

"Second brother, isn't it good to do this? After all, it is the Taishou appointed by the imperial court, and it is a member of the Han family, so we will inevitably be criticized for doing this. "This man is forty years old, and he is not bad-looking.

"Big brother, let me ask you, who controls this Yuyang?" Zhang Chun's face did not change in the slightest, and he only said softly.

"My Zhang family has been in control of Yuyang for a long time."

"Correct solution!" Zhang Chun smiled and said, "In this case, why should you be afraid of him as a yellow-mouthed child? I moved and moved, I just wanted to give him a dismount, so that he could control this Han child as a puppet in the future. ”

"Hey," the man thought about it, sighed, and then said, "It's up to you." Then he turned and got on his horse and left.

That person is the eldest brother Zhang Chun, the eldest young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Ju.

Zhang Jujin said that when he heard the actions of his second brother Zhang Chun, he couldn't help but feel unsafe, and wanted to dissuade him, but not only from where to persuade him, but now after listening to the words of the second brother, he was upset, and he beat his horse out of Yuyang City, looking at the manor where the ancestral house of the Zhang family was located.

Because of Guo Jia's strategy, Liu Yuan found a feng shui treasure early and set up camp and waited for dark.

At the time of the unitary, Liu Yuan carefully instructed Xu Huang and Huang Chang that they could not kill the main characters, and they had to be captured alive to succeed. The two of them agreed as promised, immediately left the camp, each led a thousand soldiers, took advantage of the sky, borrowed the mountains and forests to hide their tracks, and looked at Yuyang.

A few hours later, the two arrived outside Yuyang, and Huang Chang brought ten elites by himself, climbed over the city wall, and looked into the city to find the mansion of the county prince. Xu Huang led 2,000 foot soldiers to rest in the dense forest outside the city.

It was past midnight, and the whole city was silent, except for the soldiers patrolling the city walls talking in a low voice. Huang Chang found a vacancy, took ten of his subordinates into the city, immediately found a house, asked the Ming County Cheng Mansion, knocked this person unconscious, and went straight to the County Cheng Zhang Mansion.

Zhang's mansion was quiet, with only two teams of soldiers patrolling alternately. Huang Chang observed for a long time, calculated the flaws, and took ten people to quietly climb over the wall, through the corners, rockeries, flowers and plants to cover the traces, and soon entered the inner courtyard.

Randomly found a room, Huang Chang concocted the same method, and asked Zhang Chun's bedroom.

Avoiding the patrol, I went to Zhang Chun's bedroom and saw two people standing guard by the door, and then I went around the backyard along the wall and climbed in through the window.

Zhang Chun was holding Liu Yuan hostage at this time and dreaming of being the emperor of Yuyang Tu, when he suddenly felt a cold in his neck, and opened his eyes violently, only to see a black-clothed man holding a sharp blade under his jaw, and his soul was immediately terrified!

"Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!" Zhang Chun didn't dare to move at all, looked at Huang Chang pitifully, and begged for mercy again and again.

"You are Zhang Chun? Yuyang County Cheng Zhang Chun? Huang Chang's deep voice frightened Zhang Chun, and he hurriedly said yes.

"That's good!" Huang Chang smiled, withdrew the short blade, and warned: "Remember not to scream, otherwise the blade in my hand will not recognize people!" ”

Zhang Chunchang exhaled, hurriedly sat up from the couch, looked at the eleven people in the room, and said nervously: "What do you strong men want, as long as I Zhang Chun can do it, there is no ambiguity!" ”

"Good! Those who know the times are Junjie. Huang Chang smiled: "Just tell you where the ancestral house of the Zhang family is, and we will let you go!" ”

"Ancestral home?" Zhang Chun's face was shocked: "You are so bold that you want to rob my Zhang family's ancestral house?" ”

"How?" Huang Chang's knife flashed, and in an instant, it was on Zhang Chun's neck, his face turned grim, and he said in a low voice: "Do you say it?" I don't mind letting you bleed first! ”

"Stay and live!" Zhang Chun hurriedly said: "I say, I say!" ”

Immediately, Zhang Chun informed the specific location of the Zhang family's ancestral house, but he was not worried that the Zhang house would be captured by the 'robbers', it turned out that the Zhang house was guarded by 3,000 private soldiers, and he was not afraid of any thieves at all!

At that moment, Huang Chang asked five of his subordinates to go to the woods outside the city, informed Xu Huang of the location of Zhang's house, and instructed him to only outwit him, not to fight hard. Only then did Shi Shiran find a corner and sit down cross-legged, closing his eyes and resting.

"Didn't you tell me that you could get the news and let me go? Why don't you stay?! When Zhang Chun saw Huang Chang's move, he was immediately angry.

"Well, didn't I let you go a long time ago? Now that I haven't tied you up, why let it go?! Hehe," Huang Chang said with a smile.

"How dare you play tricks on me?!" Zhang Chun trembled, and his voice was violent.

Huang Chang looked at Zhang Chun, who was very introverted, and said disdainfully: "What about playing with you?" A villain like you wants to bully my lord and look for death! ”

"Your father-in-law?" Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Aren't you a bandit?!" ”

"Whew!" Huang Chang scolded: "You are a thief!" I am Yuyang Hou, Yuyang Taishou Liu Yuan's general Huang Chang Huang Gongyi, I have come to take you, waiting for the lord to ask for the guilt! Before he finished speaking, Huang Chang pounced on Zhang Chun to the ground, and then took out a cloth towel from his arms and blocked Zhang Chun's mouth as he was about to shout for help.

The five elite soldiers went out of the city along the way they came, arrived at the dense forest, shouted slogans, and saw Xu Huang.

Knowing the location of the Zhang family and Huang Chang's instructions, Xu Huang did not slack off, and immediately led the soldiers and looked at Zhang's house in the dark.

After walking for more than ten miles, I saw a huge mansion standing in the distance. The big red lantern was hung in front of the house, and a team of soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the figures were longing, and the guards were heavy.

Seeing this, Xu Huang felt very tricky at the moment and didn't dare to move.

At the moment, the soldiers were asked to hold it down, and Xu Huang found the commanders of each department, ready to discuss, work together, and come up with a solution.

Two thousand infantry, five hundred songs, a total of four hundred generals.

With Xu Huang, the five of them gathered in a group and had a heated discussion.

"General Xu, the Zhang family occupies Yuyang, and there are thousands of private soldiers, although they are not all elite, but they cannot be underestimated, and they must be considered in the long run." One of them.

"Not bad." Another hundred people agreed: "Why don't you send fifty elites, led by us, into the Zhang family, and capture the thief and the king?" ”

"It's not right, it's not right!" Another Qu Chang retorted: "The place where the Zhang family's ancestral home is definitely heavily guarded and inspected strictly. Fifty people is not a small number, the target is too big, it is easy to be discovered, and it is not a pity for us to die at that time, but it will ruin the great affairs of the lord! ”

After these people were given to Liu Yuan by Liu Ji, they all swore allegiance to Liu Yuan, so they also called them the lord.

"What if it's a storm?" The last one calculated: "Our two thousand soldiers have all been in battle, plus the lord has even practiced, and he is also considered an elite." In comparison, this Zhang family's private soldier is just a farmer with a weapon, and he is definitely not an opponent such as us! ”

Xu Huang listened to the words of several people, and shook his head: "No! The lord means that the word must not be leaked. If you want to attack, you must kill thousands of soldiers to achieve your goal. But at this time, it is late at night, and our troops are less than the other side, and when the time comes, we can't take care of each other, and someone will definitely escape! ”

Everyone was silent.

"Huh?" One of them's eyes lit up and said, "I have a way!" The man stood up and said, "It is better for us to divide into two teams, one of which will attack under the banner of bandits; When a team was young, they pretended to rescue under the banner of the main public; In addition, General Xu Huang took advantage of the chaos to take a hundred elite soldiers himself, quickly entered the inner house, and took down a cadre of main characters! ”

"Haha, what a strategy!" Xu Huang laughed and clapped his hands and said, "In this way, it will be justifiable to take in the Zhang family without causing a lot of trouble!" Xu Huang patted the person who came up with the plan with a smile: "You will make a great contribution today, and when you come to say that the lord will be rewarded!" The four of them were overjoyed.

"That being the case, you and the other four men divided into two teams, each with a thousand soldiers and horses to prepare. A moment later, act! ”

"Whoa!"

The four of them left at the moment and prepared not to mention it.

At the ugly moment, the two hundred generals led a thousand soldiers, and each soldier was dressed in tattered linen clothes and ready to go.

"Target, manor ahead, kill!"

The thousand-person team pretending to be bandits was like a torrent in the dark night, heading straight for Zhang's Manor.

"Dangdang Dang"

Suddenly remembered the sound of gold in the manor, and heard someone shouting: "The bandits are coming, the bandits are coming!" ”

At this time, the bandit team has already engaged with the private soldiers of the courtyard!

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming in pain, muffled snorting, and the sound of weapons colliding were endless, and the silent night was broken at once, and it could be heard for miles!

Xu Huang led a hundred elite soldiers to hide on one side, and at the same time fished in troubled waters, attacked the private soldiers of the Zhang family who came to support, pulled off their clothes and put them on, and then galloped away in the inner courtyard of Zhang's house.

Xu Huang said that the bandits were powerful and urgently needed assistance, and the guards in the inner courtyard listened to the fierce fighting, and did not suspect him, so they rushed out.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe came out from the corner of the corridor, and when he saw Xu Huang and the others, he couldn't help shouting, "What happened?" Come on! ”

"Your Excellency!" Xu Huang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "There is a large group of bandits attacking the manor, and we have been sent to protect the family master!" ”

"How many people!"

"More than three thousand!"

"Huh!?" The man was shocked and hurriedly said, "Come with me!" ”

Lead Xu Huang and a hundred others to go inside!

Xu Huang was secretly happy in his heart, and there was no pillow for Zhengdao to sleep, so someone sent one.

The man led Xu Huang's team to the backyard, asked them to wait aside, and said, "Wait and wait, I'll call the head of the family and others to come!" The man took two steps, then turned back and said, "Just wait for this good life to protect the head of the family, that is, you have made a great contribution, and you will be prosperous and rich in the future, and you will not enjoy it endlessly!" ”

Xu Huang smiled secretly.

After a while, the backyard was noisy, and one by one the young ladies came out of the room in disheveled clothes and tired faces, and all gathered in front of Xu Huang and others. Out of the crowd came an old man with white hair, and the old man walked with a tiger, quite majestic.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Although the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard, the old man's face still did not change.

Xu Huang was afraid that the people had not arrived, so he had to wait for a while before he could make a move, so he took two steps at the moment, clenched his fists and bowed his head and said: "The head of the family, there are three thousand bandits who attacked the manor at night, and the brothers are not ready, and now they have fallen into the disadvantage, so the leader will call the little one to lead a hundred elite soldiers to come and protect the head of the family!" ”

At this moment, I don't know who lit the lantern, the person who led Xu Huang into the backyard accidentally saw Xu Huang's face clearly, and his heart turned, but he found that he had never seen this person, and he was shocked at the moment, and opened his mouth to remind Mrs. Zhang, but reason told him not to shout, otherwise a hundred soldiers in front of him would be ruthless, and the Zhang family would be slaughtered!

Looking at the bright blade in the soldier's hand, this man retreated, and said secretly: "I'd better escape first, first, to leave seeds for the Zhang family, and second, to think of rescue" But he was looking for a reason for himself.

Thinking about it, this person blocked his figure with all his relatives and quietly left.

After another moment, Mrs. Zhang turned around and glanced at all the children and grandchildren, and felt that everyone had arrived, so she immediately said, "Go through the back door!" ”

Unbeknownst to him, a hundred elite soldiers suddenly raised their blades and quickly surrounded dozens of family members!

"Erer" Mrs. Zhang was taken off guard.

"Hey, go? Where to go? Let me stay in the house! Xu Huang raised his head at this time and asked the soldiers to escort the frightened Zhang family into the living room.

Xu Huang sat on the main seat, looking at the Zhang family with disdain, or with a frightened face, or with a pale face: "Give me honesty one by one, otherwise you won't be able to recognize people with a big axe in your hand!" As he spoke, he shook the big axe with a sharp blade, and the threat was overflowing.

"Huh" Old lady Zhang took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down and said, "Who are you waiting for?" Dare to hijack my Zhang family? Aren't you afraid that my son will lead the troops to exterminate you and others? ”

"Your son? Zhang Chun, right? Xu Huang laughed and said: "Now, Zhang Chunye has been arrested, and the location of your Zhang family's ancestral house comes from the other side, hahaha"

When the old lady Zhang heard this, she knew that the general trend had gone, so she couldn't help but weaken, collapsed to the ground, and said with difficulty: "Can you tell me your identity, otherwise the old man will not be blind!" ”

"Hey, who's going to kill you?" Xu Huang stood up leisurely, walked to the old man's side, looked at him condescendingly, and said: "A certain Xu Huang, on the order of the lord, is the lord of Yuyang, Yuyang is too shou, Liu Yuan and Lord Liu are also!" ”

When the old man heard this, he made a sudden appearance, and then his nervous expression suddenly calmed down, and he laughed: "It turned out to be Liu Yuan'er!" ”

"You dare to insult your lord! Look for death! Xu Huang slashed away with an axe, but he stopped in front of the old man's forehead, and only a handful of gray hair fell to the ground.

"Hey!" The old man said fearlessly: "The old man concludes that you don't dare to kill me." Hmph, my Zhang family controls Yuyang, intertwined, kill me, you can't afford to eat! Without an old man, how can Liu Yuan'er clean up this mess? ”

Xu Huang's face was hideous, and he drank: "A certain family is not good at killing you, an old horseman, but dares to kill your children and grandchildren!" As he spoke, he grabbed a young man, ignored his pleadings, raised his axe and cut off the head of the guy!

Throwing away the corpse, Xu Huang grinned, Sensen's white teeth reflected the blood-spattered axe blade, indescribably terrifying! The old and young clubs of the Zhang family were screaming and terrified.

"Don't forget, you are the fish, I am the sword!"

Turning his face, Xu Huang said to the soldiers: "Give me a good interrogation of this prisoner, take care of them, and don't let anyone go!" With that, he took the big axe, grabbed the headless corpse, kicked the angry head out of the door, and walked out, and then the two soldiers stepped forward and closed the door.

Not to mention the tragic interrogation in the hall, he said that Xu Huang walked out of the hall, threw away the body, looked outside the courtyard, and encountered an embarrassed soldier walking here halfway.

"What for!" Xu Huangqing snorted, full of momentum.

The little guy of "Qi Qi Qi" was shocked by Xu Huang, and he didn't know what to call it: "My lord, there is another sergeant outside the manor who claims to be under the command of Taishou, and the leader sent the little one to ask the head of the family." ”

"Oh?!" Xu Huang's heart came just in time, and he said to the soldier at the moment: "Go to the front yard and tell you and other leaders, and say that the subordinates of the Taishou are invited by the head of the family, and they must not be neglected!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldier trotted and looked out into the outer courtyard.

Xu Huang walked leisurely and went out with him.
