"I know that Wu Dun has a private vault, which is in the rockery of the county Yahou Hall, and the women have secretly followed him to see that secret room, which stores all the money and property that Wu Dun has looted over the years." The Eighth Lady, whose face was like ashes, said in a trembling voice under Han Lie's downward gaze.

"Someone, take her with you." Although Han Lie was overjoyed in his heart, he stood up expressionlessly and said.

Passing through the promenade, entering the backyard covering an area of 20 acres, wearing a splendid flower field, a man-made rockery appeared in front of him, the flowing water was slamming, and the insects and birds were contending.

"It was under that rockery, and the women saw that Wu Dun had pressed the mechanism on it, and then a crack in the door appeared." When Han Lie heard this, he didn't rush forward, but instructed the left and right sergeants: "Lu Gui, you go up and see where the mechanism is, if you can open the mechanism, this general will count you as a great merit." ”

"Don't, don't, the concubine doesn't dare, the general spares his life." Hearing Han Lie order Lu Gui to step forward, the Eighth Lady's face instantly changed drastically, and she screamed and shouted.

"Isn't it just a mechanism? As for this? Han Lie pretended to smile stupidly and urged, "Escort this person up." ”

"I'm not going, I'm not going." At this time, how could Lu Gui not know that there was a trap in the rockery in front of him, so he shook his head and refused to come forward.

"I can't help it, take this person up." Han Lie's expression changed, and he shouted coldly.

Four sergeants with spears immediately rushed up and put Lu Gui on the shelves with spears, and Lu Gui, who was driven ducks on the shelves, suddenly collapsed when he approached the rockery, and the seemingly stable ground suddenly collapsed, and then a stone wall collapsed and directly filled the trap.

"Help ......" Lu Gui, who fell into the trap, only shouted two words, and completely lost his voice.

"Brother, brother, ......" Seeing her brother die on the spot, the eighth lady screamed miserably, looked at Han Lie and shouted: "You devil, I won't let you go if I am a ghost." ”

"You're right, for the wicked, I'm the devil, and wicked people like your brothers and sisters will end up being ghosts, and they can only fall into hell, since you want to die, I'll fulfill you." Han Lie glanced at the other party coldly and said, "Escort this vicious woman up, and guard it with iron shields on the left and right to prevent hidden arrows." ”

"Whoa." One of the pikemen immediately stepped out, commanding four pikemen, and walked up with the eighth lady again, while around the four pikemen, there were two sergeants, armed with long iron shields to protect the left and right.

This time, there was no accident, the group came to the rockery smoothly, Han Lie saw that there was no danger, so he walked up with Dian Wei and the others, and this will be which eighth lady who was originally beautiful has already sat on the ground like mud.

"Drag this person down and leave it to her opponents." Han Lie gave a faint order, facing the uneven stone in front of him, he carefully observed it, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and in surprise, he immediately pulled out the Tai'a sword on his waist and slashed a few swords towards the stone wall, but accidentally cut off a stone.

"My lord, what's that?" Dian Wei on the side saw a raised handle appear under the stone, and hurriedly raised his voice.

"All stand back, Brother Dian, you take a shield to protect me." Han Lie waved his hand and asked the sergeant to step back, and was about to reach out to pull the handle, but Dian Wei rushed in front of Han Lie and said, "Guard Lord Stand back." ”

"What is this for, Lao Dian? Are you going to disobey military orders? Han Lie's face sank.

"Don't dare, it's the duty of the last general to protect the lord." Dian Wei replied in a deep voice, and shouted to the left and right sergeants: "Still stunned, guard the lord and retreat." ”

The sergeants on the left and right are Han Lie's personal soldiers, which will face the dispute between Han Lie and Dian Wei, although everyone intuitively feels that Dian Wei's approach is right, but Han Lie's military orders are also not disobeyed, and the embarrassed personal soldiers don't know how to deal with themselves for a while.

"Lao Dian, you must know that disobeying this general's order will be punished by thirty military sticks at the least, and by a decisive decision at the worst, you understand." Han Lie's eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring at Dian Wei in front of him, although he knew that Dian Wei was well-intentioned, but the army had its own military regulations, orders were like mountains, and laws were like prisons, and violators would be punished.

"Defend the Lord back." Dian Wei let out a loud shout, pushed Han Lie out with all his might, stepped forward, and pulled the handle on the stone wall.

There was a creak, and under the stone wall, an entrance suddenly appeared, and I saw layers of stairs extending down. As for the expected accident, it did not happen, and the people who wanted to build this secret room for Wu Dun only knew some superficial mechanisms.

In fact, the Mohist methods of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as the Luban technique, after the first emperor burned books, many skills have been lost in the long river of history.

"Lord, let me go down and investigate first." Dian Wei saw that the entrance was in sight, and walked down.

"You bastard, you're really blind." For Dian Wei's loyalty, Han Lie felt nostalgic, and Han Lie, who was worried that Dian Wei would make a mistake, pushed away the guards on the left and right, and chased after him with a step. For Dian Wei, Han Lie, who is a big and rough man, can rest assured, if there is really some mechanism in this secret room, Dian Wei, a stupid guy, what else can he do except use his tower-like body to resist?

When Han Lie just chased down the steps, Dian Wei's happy laughter came from below: "Lord, come quickly, come down, there are twenty boxes of jewels and gold cakes inside." ”

"Rolling calf stuff." The first thing Han Lie did when he came down was not to look at those jewels and gold cakes, but directly gave Dian Wei a kick and scolded angrily: "You old boy can stand it?" If you dare to disobey your orders, do you really think that a few boxes of jewelry are worth exchanging your life? Lao Tzu told you, don't say just these few boxes of gold cakes and jewelry, even if you give me a gold mountain, Lao Tzu will not change it, your grandmother's, after you go back, you will go to Xiahou Zilan to get thirty military sticks. ”

Han Lie, who was foaming at the mouth, scolded Dian Wei excitedly for a while, only scolded these five big and three rough guys, scolded Dian Wei, who was a beat slower, after realizing Han Lie's deep concern, licked his face and said: "Is it wrong for me, I should go back and get the punishment immediately?" ”

"Get out of the way." Han Lie looked at his heartless appearance, laughed and scolded helplessly, and then looked at the gold cakes and jewels in the twenty large wooden boxes in front of him with a happy face, and after reaching out to weigh them, Han Lie laughed loudly: "Come on, bring these gold cakes and jewels up, and order the three armies, and all the soldiers will be rewarded with one hundred baht." ”

Although there was no liquidation, it was initially estimated that the total value of these gold cake jewels plus the money that had been copied before was only 15,000 gold, and with such a sum of money, the money problem that plagued Han Lie was undoubtedly solved.

Looking at the boxes of gold cakes and jewels carried out, Han Lie made no secret of his joy, and secretly said: "Damn, it seems that robbing the house and robbing the house is the fastest way to get money, if you come here so many times, Lao Tzu still needs to tighten his belt like this to live?" ”

Although he thought so, Han Lie also knew that such an opportunity could not be encountered every time, not to mention the gentry in Xuzhou City, even if the Zang Ba Sun Guan in front of him came to the nest again, it would be enough for him to drink a pot, so raiding the house and looting could only be just a thought.

"Ziyi, you will lead five hundred elite soldiers to escort this batch of treasures back to Licheng immediately." After Xu Huang Tai Shi Ci settled the prisoner affairs, Han Lie immediately ordered the Tai Shi Ci Dao who had rushed over.

"Whoa." Tai Shi Ci also knew the value of this batch of property, and he felt that Han Lie was able to hand over this money to himself to be responsible, and he also felt Han Lie's unwavering trust in him.

"Gongming, after passing the screening, all the children of the good family can be incorporated into the army to enrich our strength, in order to delay time and let the brigade led by Zilong return to Licheng safely, we are likely to hold on here for half a month." Han Lie then conveyed his instructions to Xu Huang.

"Rest assured, there are 17,000 young men in the city, and these people have a good foundation, with a little training, although they can't become elite soldiers, but they are more than enough to defend the city, and there is enough food and grass in the city, enough for us to eat for a month, and more importantly, in the armory of Wu Dun, there are 15,000 sets of weapons and armor, 5,000 mulberry bows, and 50,000 feather arrows, which is enough for us to fight a tough battle." Xu Huang replied confidently.

"Komeito, I'm still at ease." Han Lie nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, you are responsible for the security of the city, to ensure the stability of the lives of the people in the city, and to crack down on the hoarding behavior in the market. ”

"Whoa." Dian Wei readily agreed.

At the same time that Han Lie broke through Xintai, stabilized the order, and actively prepared for war. The envoy sent by Tao Qian not only sent Zang Ba a promise of 30,000 stone of grain, but also a promise of 5,000 sets of weapons and armor, and also hinted that Zang Ba could defeat Han Lie this time, he could acquiesce to him to capture Taishan County afterwards, and praise him as the defender of Taishan County.

The previous material promises, Zang Ba may be indifferent, but Taishan County guard, he is extraordinarily excited, Kaiyang is just a county land, which has always been quite ambitious, determined to become a shepherd Zang Ba, Taishan County guard, this position, undoubtedly has a fatal temptation for him.

Just when Zang Ba was full of ambition and was about to send troops, Wu Dun, who left first, came to him again and again, and Wu Dun, who did not hide the anger in his heart, knelt in front of Zang Ba and said: "Marshal, please send troops immediately, recapture Xintai, and avenge your subordinates." ”

Zang Ba, who was sitting on the tiger skin seat, got up with a shocked face when he heard the news of the fall of Xintai: "How can this be? How did Han Lie know that we were going to be his enemy, so he struck first? ”

"Dashuai, there are many years of wealth accumulation in Xintai City, as well as nearly 20,000 strong, weapons, armor, bows and arrows, if you don't take it back, my years of hard work will be ruined." Wu Dun saw Zang Ba asking, where could he answer, but urged urgently.

"It's too late." Where would Zang Ba not know Wu Dun's harvest over the years, and he just knew that Wu Dun's private collection, Zang Ba would have a bitter face, if Xintai City was not lost, with his and Sun Guan's troops, he could still fight with Han Lie in the field, but now Han Lie has obtained a large number of military supplies from Wu Dun, and he is sitting on the main road out of the mountain in Xintai, even if they go away, they will not be able to shake Han Lie at all.

If you fight hard, the result will only be cheap Tao Qian, and he and Han Lie will become the sandpiper mussel, and Tao Qian will become the fisherman on the side. Knowing that it was an unwinnable war, Zang Ba, as a smart person, naturally would not rush forward stupidly.

For Han Lie, the capture of Xintai and the defense of this key place are undoubtedly the initiative in this war, and this is obviously a victory of strategic decision, in which Han Lie's generals and Guo Jia's planning are undoubtedly the greatest contributions.
