Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stealing and Grabbing

"I've seen my lord!"

"Situ Liang, are they all gone?"

Situ Liang said: "It's all gone, just left the camp." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Did you privately reduce the seizure?" ”

"My lord saw that his subordinates had only reduced half of their money, longbows, and horses. As for food, we have a lot of it, and we have not lost it privately. ”

"Aren't you afraid they know?" Zhao Xun asked rhetorically.

Situ Liang said proudly: "My lord fought yesterday, and the generals were subdued!" So what? Moreover, they are not unaware. ”

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "Yes! So what? This prestige is to be punched out and killed! The matter of rewarding the soldiers will be handed over to you and the generals, and we are ready to leave, and the people here will also move away and settle in Gushan Fort. ”

Council Hall.

"In yesterday's battle, although we won, we also found that there were many problems, especially the archers, who did not make reasonable use of them at all, and the cavalry did not play its due role. Therefore, I want to expand the size of the pro-guards, which are the battalions of the pro-guards, and they are all cavalry; Another camp was built for longbowmen. Each battalion shall be five hundred, and five hundred men shall be taken out of your two battalions. As for what you lack, make up for it from the boot camp. Zhao Xun said his thoughts, yesterday's battle, so he was sharp, but without three hundred knights behind him, it was impossible for him to take the head of the root with one blow, his own personal guard was originally only close to three hundred, and now seven hundred were drawn from the two battalions to form a thousand.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, let's go back, and officially settle in Gushan Fort today. By the way, we have to return to the families of our soldiers who left them on Qiyan Zhuangzi outside the city. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Wenju was overjoyed, and Zhao Xun promised that his matter was finally going to be done.

Thousands of soldiers returned to Yanzhou Mansion with all their bodies, and with countless carriages, they immediately stopped Yanzhou Mansion up and down. There is a lot of speculation about what these people have done? It's said that it's a contest with the Fire Lin Army, but it's not so bad that you get hurt. What's more, although the soldiers were wounded, their faces were beaming.

It didn't take long for several news to spread throughout Yanzhou Mansion: it turned out that during the drill of the three armies, the lair of the mountain bandits was discovered, and the three armies worked together to encircle and suppress them, and all the thieves were annihilated, and as for the carriage, it was the captured grain.

There is also a version that the Yan people infiltrated Yanzhou, occupied villages and towns, secretly hid food and armor, and caused trouble to the people.

But no matter which version, it is said that the extermination of more than 1,000 bandits will result in a lot of gains. But the upper-level people in Yanzhou Mansion all understand that this is where the martial arts encounter the thieves, and it is clearly in the name of the martial arts to attack together.

Qiyan Mansion.

Qi Yan sat on the chair, his face was pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead continued to seep out, although he had not received definite information, he had already guessed that the place that was attacked by the government army was the stronghold he had set up, because only there was so much food and so-called bandits.

"Qi Fu! You...... You immediately send someone to check the movements of Su Yun and Zhou Jun, and monitor the movements of the various armies of the government army. ”

"Qi Hai! You send someone at once...... Send people to the other four places to see if they are being attacked! ”

The faces of the two people beside Qi Yan were also pale, and they also knew the danger of the situation at this moment, so they all left.

"! It's been fine for a month, how can it be suddenly attacked? Or in the name of military exercises? Oh my bread! Qi Yan wanted to cry without tears at the moment.

"My lord! This is Qi Yan's manor outside the city, and the thousands of acres of fertile land in the vicinity are Qi Yan's, and the families of Qi Wen and others are also here. Except for dozens of guards, there were no soldiers. "Zhou Wenju, as a housekeeper of Qi Yan's foreign mansion, naturally knows Qi Yan's situation well.

Zhao Xun smiled gloomily, raised his spear, and waved it forward.

Behind him, there was a cavalry battalion formed by the original 300 people plus 200 who had been transferred, like rolling thunder, rushing towards Zhuangzi in front of him.

"What are you......" Before the guard in front of Zhuangzi's gate could finish speaking, a human head was swept away by the cavalry, and red blood gushed out.

Before the other three guards could react, they followed closely behind their companions and went to the underworld to report.

"Those who dare to resist will be killed!"

"Those who dare to resist will be killed!"

The cavalry rushed into Zhuangzi, ran wildly all the way, shouted all the way, and killed those who saw them holding blades!

On weekdays, I have only practiced a few times as a guard, and I have never seen people's heads rolling off, blood splashing, and all vomiting. Hearing the shouts of the incoming cavalry, he immediately gave up his weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

"It's only five miles away from Gushan Fort, it's a good place, there are so many fertile fields around here! It would be great if we could occupy this place! Zhou Wenju looked at the fields and yellow-orange wheat in his field of vision, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Then take it down!" These said lightly.

"Forehead ......" Zhou Wenju was speechless for a while.

"This Zhuangzi occupies a large area, and most of the people who do live farming here are the families of those guards under Qi Yan, and the village not far away is the home of these families, estimated to have nearly 400 households."

Zhao Xun stepped over the corpses on the road and entered the hall of the main house, and the patio outside the hall was full of people kneeling in the original Zhuangzi.

"Get their heads rolled! Zhao Xun sat on the main seat and said in a cold voice.

"This ...... This good man! Don't know how...... How to call it? An obscene middle-aged man who was escorted in by two soldiers hurriedly cried after seeing Zhao Xun sitting on the main seat.

"You're in charge here?"

"The villain Jiang Hao, Tian is the main business of this place, I don't know where we offended ......"

"I'll ask you to answer, and if you talk any more, I'll cut out your tongue!" Zhao Xun looked at Jiang Hao with murderous eyes and said.

"Hmm......" Jiang Hao, who was still chattering, hurriedly closed his mouth, and the corpse outside told him that this person was definitely a ruthless person, if he was not happy with the heat, it would be over.

"How many tenants are there?"

"Four hundred and twenty households!"

"All in the village on the north side?"

"Yes!"

"Where are their deeds, and where are the title deeds here?"

"The deed of these tenants is here with the villain, and as for the deed of paper title here, it is in the ......"

"Qi Yan's hands?"

Jiang Hao was stunned when he heard this: Knowing that this is Qi Yan's field, still dare to attack? Who the hell is this?

"Huh?"

Jiang Hao hurriedly replied: "Yes! It's in the hands of our lord! ”

"Jiang Hao, right, you go back now, tell your master, and say that this Zhuangzi is what our Huolin Army wants! You told him that the 1,000 people in Qingshan Town have been completely wiped out, and if you still want to save your life, you should immediately send the land deed papers, and if it is too late, maybe the government army of Yanzhou Mansion will be killed at his doorstep. ! Zhao Xun said coldly.

"Good means, adults! Suppressing people with power, Qi Yan, who doesn't know why, will definitely send Zhuangzi here. After Jiang Hao left, Zhou Wen raised his hands and sighed.

"Wenju, you go and sue those tenants, the owner here has changed, the fields they rent for planting, the grain harvested is four or six cents, and as for the field tax, we will pay it ourselves, and we can reduce it as appropriate in case of natural disasters."

"Your Excellency is benevolent!"

"Master, Steward Jiang of Zhuangzi outside the city has returned, and it is said that there is something important to report!"

Qi Yan, who was restless in his heart, didn't want to see him, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Let him get in!" If you don't stay in Zhuangzi, what are you doing here? ”

"I've seen the master!"

"Anyway, what's the matter?"

"Master, Zhuangzi was attacked, and they also said that they would let the master send the land deed papers!" Jiang Hao saw that Qi Yan's face was very ugly, and said cautiously.

"Bang dang!" Qi Yan slammed down the delicate teacup in his hand and roared, "What did you say? What is it that makes people so bold? actually bullied me Qi Yan's head. ”

Jiang Hao lowered his head and whispered, "It's the Huolin Army!" ”

"Fire Lynx?" Qi Yan muttered quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master, the people of the Huolin Army still said...... He also said......"

"What else to say? Say it! ”

"They said that a thousand people in Qingshan Town have been completely wiped out, if you still want to save your life, sir, send the title deed documents immediately, if it's too late, maybe the government army of Yanzhou Mansion will be killed at his doorstep." After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he waited for Qi Yan's anger, but he didn't see Qi Yan speak for a long time, and when he looked up, Qi Yan's face turned blue and white, his eyes were blank, and he was slumped on the chair. Jiang Hao was very puzzled, why did the old man have such an expression when he heard this, and what did the matter of Qingshan Town have to do with him?

After a while, Qi Yan said weakly: "Jiang Hao, bring the title deed documents and send them to him." After saying that, he took out a scroll of papers from the box beside him and handed it over.

"Huh? This? Jiang Hao was taken aback.

"What? Do you have questions? Qi Yan gritted his teeth and said.

"I didn't ...... There is no problem with the villain, the villain will go. Taking the things, Jiang Hao hurriedly said.

"Wait...... In sending 100,000 taels of silver! ”

"............" Jiang Hao was completely confused at the moment.

After Jiang Hao left, Qi Yan gritted his teeth and thought about it for a long time, and finally his face turned ruthless, and he said hatefully: "Since this is the case, then let you know how powerful I am, Yanzhou Mansion!" Ha ha! You're about to change masters. After talking to himself, he wrote a letter and sent it out quietly.

"My lord! Don't you know, after I just said about the reduction of ground rent, they were so happy that I almost couldn't come back. Zhou Wenju came back and shouted excitedly, sitting on the chair and watching Zhao Xun, who was watching Zhuangzi harvest statistics, he was also overjoyed when he heard it.

"My lord! That Jiang Hao is back again. At this time, the outside of the door reported.

Zhao Xun and Zhou Wenju looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Wenju said: "It seems that this Zhuangzi is going to be ours." ”

"Villain Jiang Hao, meet the adults!"

"How? Did your lord say yes? Zhao Xun said lazily.

"Promised!" As he spoke, he handed over a scroll of paperwork. After Zhou Wenju took it and looked at it, he said with joy in his eyes: "This is true." ”

Jiang Hao continued: "My lord also asked the villain to send 100,000 taels of silver, and the things are outside. ”

"Oh? If you go back and tell your master, you will say that he will be fine. By the way, bring your people back as well. ”

After Jiang Hao left, the lazy expression on Zhao Xun's face immediately dissipated, his brows tightened, and he groaned: "It seems that we have poked a hole in the sky this time." ”

"Zhou Wenju, you immediately secretly move your family to Daogushan Fort, I will send someone to assist you, this Zhuangzi, you will be responsible first. I estimate that Yanzhou is about to change. ”

When Zhou Wenju heard this, his face changed, and he said in surprise: "Won't it?" We just took away one of his Zhuangzi. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "This is not the main problem, the main thing is that we took Qingshan Town and killed more than a thousand people of the Spirit, which made Qi Yan have a sense of crisis, in order to save his life, he will definitely let the people behind him take action." But it doesn't matter, Yanzhou Mansion is not chaotic, how can we take advantage of the fire? As he spoke, Zhao Xun had a strange look on his face.

Qi House

"What do you say? Our other four walled forts have already been breached, and there are no more people and things inside? Qi Yan's eyes were red and he said.

"Yes, sir, when I went, those places were already deserted." Qi Hai said with a frightened face. It's terrible that several places have been attacked, and I don't even notice it.

"Good! Good! Good! Qi Yan smiled angrily, he had worked hard for a few years, but he disappeared like this.

"Who the hell did that?" Qi Yan roared angrily.

"My subordinates don't know!"

"Don't let me know who it is, or I'll have him torn to pieces. And that Zhao Xun, he even dared to take advantage of the fire to rob, hum! You wait for me. ”

Zhou Mansion.

After listening to Ye Qing and Li Han's words, Zhou Jun was silent for a long time and said, "Zhao Xun is so powerful what you say?" ”

Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "Only strong, not weak!" If the people of my Black Flag Army fight against Zhao Xun, there is no need to fight, as long as Zhao Xun appears, it will definitely collapse a large part. Li Han also nodded yes.

Zhou Jun touched his chin and said, "I originally thought it was a fierce horse." Now it seems that this is clearly a tiger. Still underestimate him! ”
