Chapter 224: Blood Debt (II)

"Big money, what a big fortune, the red scarf thief will be able to fight right away." When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he immediately came and asked with great interest.

The volunteers under his command were killed by the Red Turban Army, and more than half of them fled on the way to retreat, so they urgently needed a large amount of money to recruit new blood and restore their strength.

Another "volunteer soldier" Wanhu Liao Tycoon quickly noticed the slightest mistake, first pulled Zhu Liangzu hard, and then solemnly saluted Zhang Mingjian, "Mr. Zhang is in charge, Liao and Brother Zhu are grateful, but at present, let's talk about how to deploy first, in order to ensure that Yangzhou is not attacked by Zhu Butcher, otherwise if Yangzhou City is like Gaoyou, Zhu Butcher will be defeated without a fight, no matter what the three of us want to do, I'm afraid it will be a pipe dream." ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Liao is very right, Zhang was Meng Lang just now." Zhang Mingjian touched a soft nail that was not too big or small, frowned, and responded with a forced smile.

"It can't be said that Meng Lang, Manager Zhang has a lot of plans, and the two of us are shallow and can't afford to participate in it." Liao Daheng had to inch in and continued to emphasize loudly.

"No, no, Brother Liao said very well, if you can't hold Yangzhou, everything is blind, so please ask the two of you to bring people into the city, let's go to the government to discuss how to think about it in the long run." Zhang Mingjian's brows furrowed again, and his smile became brighter and brighter.

"You don't have to go into the city." Liao Daheng smiled and waved his hand gently, "My two brothers have all the soldiers and horses under their command, and they can't get together a team of three thousand people, even if they enter the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to help too much, but because the banner is not uniform, they will cause chaos to Manager Zhang, it's better to do this, there is a piece of Daze in the southeast of Yangzhou City, and the two brothers will take their soldiers and horses there to build another village by water, and they will be horns with Manager Zhang, so that if the Zhu butcher comes to attack, they can also take care of each other and drag him for a few more days!"

"Ugh." Zhang Mingjian's brows were twisted into a lump, his face was cloudy, and his right hand was tightly pressed on the handle of the knife, and after a while, he slowly let go, "It's okay, according to Brother Liao's words, today I will bother the two generals for one night, and at the latest tomorrow morning, Zhang will send someone to send some money and food." ”

"In this way, my two brothers will thank Mr. Zhang for Gao Yi." Liao Daheng saluted Zhang Mingjian again, then pulled Zhu Liangzu's sleeve hard, and turned to leave.

The latter was in a daze, and while walking, he reluctantly turned back, "Lao Liao, I said that you took the wrong medicine today, and you don't go into the city, so you have to go to Yanqize in the east of the city to get cold, and you have to pull me."

"Shut up, if you don't want to go with Liao, just take your soldiers and horses into the city." Liao Daheng, who has always had a good temperament, suddenly turned cold and scolded in a very low but extremely stern voice.

"Hey, you're still losing your temper." Zhu Liangzu also bumped up angrily, shook off Liao Tycoon's hand, and whispered, however, thinking of the friendship between them for many years, he didn't really leave Liao Tycoon alone outside the city, and muttered unhappily while walking towards his team, "Really, the evil door is thorough, obviously the three families have all entered the city, and they may not be able to hold Yangzhou, you still have to divide the troops, and you still refuse to accept the opportunity to send money to the door."

"I'm going to save your life again, you know no, you don't know, just shut up for me, and we'll talk about it when we both set up camp." Liao kicked him in the back and interrupted in a low voice.

"Save my life, with your three-legged cat martial arts." Zhu Liangzu turned his head and pouted disdainfully, but when he saw Liao Daheng's gloomy face, he held back the rest of the jokes back into his stomach.

If you talk about martial arts and military strategy, Liao Tycoon is not a little worse than him, but if you talk about figuring out the hearts of the world, the three of them tied together are not as good as one Liao Tycoon, this is already something that has been proven in practice in the past, and there is no need for any doubt, so just for the sake of prudence, he must also follow Liao Tycoon's choice.

With a stomach full of suspicion and dissatisfaction, Zhu Liangzu snorted and led the remnants of his command to camp on the north bank of Yanqidang, five miles east of Yangzhou City, and then led his own soldiers to fight a few wild deer, roasting them on the fire, while waiting for Liao Tycoon to come over and solve the mystery.

But the Liao tycoon did not understand his mood at all, first led a group of cronies to inspect the wall, blocked all the omissions, and then sent people to dig a large number of traps nearby to prevent the camp from being attacked, and finally sprinkled scouts all over the place to inquire about the location and movements of the Red Turban Army.

"What the hell is going on, how did the surnamed Zhang offend you, you guard against him like a thief." Zhu Liangzu had been waiting for the fire to burn for a long time, and without waiting for Liao Daheng to sit down, he asked in a dumb voice.

"He wants money, I don't want to follow, and I don't have the ability to stand in his way, that's all." As if he had aged more than a decade, Liao Daheng squatted beside the fire and responded with a sigh.

"Cai, isn't that a good thing, the two of us are short of money and food to recruit soldiers." Zhu Liangzu was confused when he heard this, and continued to ask with a pair of blank eyes.

"He wants to make money with a knife." Liao Daheng turned his head to look at Yangzhou City, which was shrouded in twilight not far away, and continued to sigh in a low voice, "He didn't plan to drag Zhu Butcher for Timur at all, he just wanted to get the last vote before Zhu Butcher rushed over." ”

"With a knife to make money, you mean, he wants to rob those wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City." Zhu Liang's ancestor was taken aback, and then regretted it and slapped his thigh, "Then what are you polite to him, those wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City, there are a few who are not millions of family wealth, just find two families to copy, it is enough for our brothers to make a comeback, alas, you are really, when did you become such a mother-in-law." ”

"If you want to get rich, it's too late to go now." Liao Tycoon glanced at Zhu Liangzu, tore off the stopper on the wine jug, poured a few mouthfuls into his stomach mouth-to-mouth, and then continued to sigh, "Liao doesn't want to stop you, but since Liao is a volunteer soldier, he still remembers the word "righteousness" somehow, as an officer and soldier, Liao can't beat the red scarf thief, but he can't do anything, not even a thief." ”

"Hey, Fat Liao, you're still gasping." Zhu Liangzu was so angry that he got up, scolded and counted, and walked away with his legs, "If you don't go to me, Lao Tzu is worried about having no money to raise soldiers, now it's okay, Zhang Mingjian solved all the troubles for Lao Tzu." ”

After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw that Liao Daheng didn't get up to stop him at all, but continued to pour wine into his own mouth, and couldn't help but bump into the fire, strode back, and snatched the wine gourd, "Lao Tzu hit the deer, don't just think about eating alone, what are you afraid of, you Liao Fattyman, it's not the first time to kill someone." ”

"I'm afraid of this." Liao Daheng raised his hand with a wry smile and pointed to his chest, "Conscience, Liao is afraid that after tonight, he will have a bad conscience in this life, killing people is simple, Liao has been a soldier for so many years, it is impossible to kill all the 800,000 people in the city, Zhu Liangzu, can you do it, you are not afraid that if you close your eyes in the future, all the evil ghosts in the city will come to you." ”

"Devils all over the city, you drank too much, Fat Liao." Zhu Liangzu was taken aback again, and then laughed disdainfully, "It's just a matter of robbing a few rich people, how can it involve the whole city, that Zhang Mingjian is not a fool, he also has to think about the reputation behind him." ”

"The officials are all thinking about being thieves, but the soldiers, can they not take advantage of the fire to rob." Liao Daheng glanced at him and continued to shake a wry smile, "Right now, in Yangzhou City, there are not only us and the Qing Army, but also so many stragglers who have been broken up and can't find a place to replace, so many idle ruffians and hooligans, as long as Zhang Mingjian opens this head, can he control the situation, I'm afraid that when the time comes, who to rob, who not to rob, when to rob, when to kill, I can't help him, if you and I are in the city, and my brothers see that they have a lot of money, can they not blush? At that time, this monstrous killing, whether it is counted on you and me, or on the heads of Zhang San and Li Si, whose names are not remembered, once such evil things are done, whether it is the government or the red turban thief, where can you and my brother be tolerated, that is, your Zhu family, and our Liao family, I am afraid that you and I will have to be expelled from the clan as soon as possible, so as not to be accused by those thousand people. ”

"This" Zhu Liangzu has never thought about it so long-term in his life, and he couldn't help but be stunned in place, dumbfounded, will the situation really become as out of control as Liao Daheng said, he didn't want to believe it, however, there was a voice in his heart that clearly told him, this is the case, wealth is the most moving, once the official takes the lead in becoming a robber, the soldiers below will completely become a group of beasts, and they will jump up at any time to choose people and devour.

At the end of November, the weather was already a little cold, a gust of wind blew from the lake, blowing him constantly shivering, raised his head, and looked at Yangzhou that had gradually blurred, but felt that the whole city seemed so quiet and luxurious, this is the richest place on the canal, and it is also the richest place in the whole world.

Suddenly, Zhu Liangzu actually had an expectation in his heart, hoping that Zhu Butcher's soldiers and horses could be killed in the city immediately, even if it was just a few hundred cavalry, just like Fu Youde suddenly appeared outside Gaoyou City that day, it could also deter Zhang Mingjian, so that he had no time to harm Yangzhou again, however, this expectation was too unrealistic after all, Zhu Butcher commanded a coalition army, and it was difficult to unify the government orders, and he walked in an unfamiliar area, and it was impossible to light the enemy's rash advance, so that the victory that had been locked was repeated

"It's on fire." Suddenly, someone pointed to the city and shouted in a low voice.

"Ah, it's on fire, it's the east of the city, in the direction of Chengxian Street in the east of the city," someone jumped up and added loudly.

"Fire, God, which evildoer is setting the fire."

"Oh my God, it's dry this winter."

Zhu Liangzu looked in the direction of everyone's fingers, and sure enough, he saw clusters of scarlet flames rising from Yangzhou City, and in the dark, like countless demons and monsters, spit out scarlet tongues.

This night, Yangzhou became a ghost domain, and there were countless demons laughing loudly in mid-air.

Note: I wanted to write a positive scene of the Qing Army's scourge of Yangzhou, but later I couldn't stand it, so I changed the side description, in the official history, Zhang Mingjian expelled the joy and flowers, monopolized Yangzhou, and then, slaughtered the people in Yangzhou City, and what he did was not as good as the beasts.
