This is a large village that occupies a large area, and there are hundreds of houses alone.

In addition to a threshing floor, there were also warehouses to store grain, and there were even sentry towers on the surrounding walls, as well as some simple fortifications that could be used to defend against bandits in the event of an attack.

Zhuangzi covers an area of seven or eight acres, in addition to the family members of Huangmazi, there are more than 50 people in Zhuangding.

In addition to collecting rent and resisting bandits, these slaves or thugs are also responsible for cleaning up some disobedient grass people for Huangmazi, which can be described as full of evil deeds.

At noon, Huang Mazi was admiring the sword he had bought in the inner courtyard.

Suddenly, a large cloud drifted from the sky, obscuring the sun.

Huang Mazi subconsciously looked up, and suddenly felt that the weather had changed a little.

The sun was covered by huge clouds, but Huang Mazi felt that his heart was also enveloped by a dark cloud.

When I was inexplicably irritable in my heart, I heard a faint thunder suddenly sound in the distance.

Looking up at the sky, although the sun was obscured, the sky was still clear, where did the thunder come from.

Huang Mazi was a little puzzled in his heart, put away the sword, and prepared to go to the front yard to have a look.

I don't want to just get out of the inner courtyard, and some family members rushed over with panicked faces.

"Master, something is wrong!"

When the family saw the jute seeds, he immediately opened his throat and howled.

Huang Mazi frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about, what happened?" ”

Jia Ding said in a panic: "Many cavalry suddenly appeared in the northwest of Zhuangzi, and they are killing this side. ”

Huang Mazi was shocked. "Where did the cavalry come from, how many are there?"

Jia Ding said repeatedly: "I don't know where it came from, but according to the villain's observation." There should be two thousand horsemen. ”

"What?"

Huang Mazi didn't know that his eyesight was too poor, so he regarded a thousand cavalry as two thousand, and when he heard that two thousand cavalry were coming, he was taken aback and jumped up directly, "Quick, close the gate." Everybody resists! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The family also jumped up and ran away.

Huang Mazi was not surprised. slapped his forehead vigorously, and ran towards the gate of Zhuangzi with a shy stomach.

Before he reached the door, he heard the desolate sound of a horn rushing into the sky, and the air was filled with a strong sense of slaughter.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves seemed to be right in my ears. The earth trembled.

Jute seeds though ignorant. But he also knew that the sound of this horn was mostly the horn of a cavalry charge, and his heart sank straight down.

Quickly climbed the inner wall of Zhuangzi, poked his head out and looked out, and immediately gasped.

I saw a group of black-pressed cavalry arrayed dozens of paces away, blocking the gate of Zhuangzi, and those cavalrymen were all angry and murderous, and at first glance they were accustomed to seeing life and death, and they had rolled in the pile of dead people.

Although there are no two thousand. But it's definitely more than a thousand.

Damn, where did this group of cavalry come from?

Huang Mazi beat a drum in his heart. His legs are a little weak, he is just a local tyrant landlord, where have I seen this.

This group of cavalry obviously had bad intentions, and the shiny saber shot out a cold light under the reflection of the sun, as if it directly shone on the tip of Huang Mazi's heart, making him feel cold in his heart, and his teeth were a little warlike.

Looking at the Zhuang Ding around again, his face was also pale, and his legs and stomachs trembled.

A bunch of rice buckets!

Huang Mazi scolded secretly, and finally found that these guys were unreliable.

It's okay to clean up the grass in normal times, but once you meet a real army, they will all wilt.

Obviously, counting on these guys to guard Zhuangzi is not to think about it.

It is estimated that as soon as this group of cavalry charges, these guys will have to be scared.

However, there are no cavalry in Nanyang, where did this group of cavalry come from?

Huang Mazi's heart moved, and he quickly took a closer look, and suddenly his heart sank to the bottom.

Damn, it's actually the Xiliang Cavalry.

This is the boundary of Nanyang, what are the Xiliang cavalry doing here?

Is it time to go to war again? No way, no news at all.

"Where are the jute seeds?"

At this moment, a loud shout of thunder suddenly sounded.

Everyone was shocked, and a heart almost jumped out of their chest.

Huang Mazi's fat body was mixed, his teeth slammed twice, and he quickly poked out half of his head, and said tremblingly: "The villain is Huang Mazi, this, I don't know what this military master has, what do you command?" ”

Zhuang Ding beside him stared nervously below, all secretly thinking of the blessing of his ancestors.

"You're a jute seed?"

Luo Zheng took Ma Jiang in his hand and glanced at the wall.

"It's the villain!"

Huang Mazi nodded hurriedly, lest he be slow enough to annoy these damn cavalrymen.

Luo Zheng waved his horse's head and shouted: "General Ben passed by Shunyang, I heard that you are rich and unkind, and the grain in the warehouse is about to pile up into a mountain, but the people are hungry and can't eat enough, and they sell their sons and daughters, but is there such a thing?" ”

Huang Mazi wiped his sweat desperately, and said continuously: "General Mingjian, General Mingjian, there is no such thing." ”

Luo Zheng snorted heavily and said, "Forget it, whether the people of Nanyang are hungry or not, General Ben doesn't care." However, General Ben has not had much military rations left recently, so you should open the warehouse and let General Ben get some grain and grass. ”

"This ......"

Huang Mazi hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to refuse.

"Why, you won't?"

Luo Zheng's face suddenly sank, and there was a murderous flicker in his eyes.

"Whoa!"

The 1,000 cavalrymen immediately raised their sabers and roared in unison, like thunder.

The dust on the earthen wall was shaken and fell straight down, and the Zhuang Ding was shocked and colorless.

Huang Mazi's body and legs were weak, and he was about to collapse on the ground, and hurriedly reached out to climb the inner wall, so he barely stood firm, but his face was already shocked, and he couldn't speak: "The general has taken grain and grass, can you let the villain's family go?" ”

Luo Zheng's face turned cold, and he said word by word: "If you dare to abolish a word again, General Ben will break Zhuangzi." Chickens and dogs are not left. ”

"Break the Zhuangzi, the chicken and the dog will not stay."

A thousand cavalry behind him roared in unison, completely shattering the courage of Huang Mazi and Zhuang Ding.

"Open the door. Open the door! ”

Huang Mazi screamed, and his spirit was about to collapse.

How could the Zhuang Ding still talk nonsense, wiped the sweat of the waterfall, quickly ran down the city, and opened the gate of Zhuangzi together.

Luo Zheng smiled fiercely at the middle corner, drew his sword and pointed forward, "Kill it." But if there are those who resist, don't be killed! ”

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

A thousand cavalry immediately roared forward and rolled into Zhuangzi.

"It's over!"

Huang Mazi sighed and collapsed to the ground with a blank face.

Yingchuan. Yang Zhai.

When Sun Jian came to Xiping's house again, Xiping was holding chicken feathers and marbles to catch flies.

"I've seen sir!"

Sun Jian put down his body and bowed his hand to Xiping, and the etiquette can be described as extremely thoughtful.

Xi Ping is a little rude. waved a chicken feather marble. He asked, "Why did the general come?" ”

Sun Jian said: "According to Mr.'s plan, he took the initiative to ask Yuan Shu for his resignation, Yuan Shu did not allow it, so he asked him to go to Jiangdong, but he didn't want to be as Mr. expected, Yuan Shu pretended to keep a few, so he asked a certain leader Wu County to guard and lead 3,000 troops to Jiangdong." ”

Xi Ping laughed and said, "Yuan Shu is really stingy. I only gave you 3,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Sun Jian said: "Three thousand soldiers and horses are enough!" ”

Xi Ping nodded and did not speak.

As long as you can get rid of Yuan Shu. Three thousand soldiers and horses are a little less, but they are enough.

Besides, Sun Jian was originally from Wu County, and his family business was in Wu County, as long as he arrived in Wu County, it would not be a problem to make a comeback.

Sun Jian had already made up his mind this time, did not hesitate any longer, looked at Xi Ping with burning eyes, and said with a long sigh: "Mr. is talented in the world, and he is not talented, I am willing to work with Mr. to help the Han family and revitalize the community, please help me!" ”

Xi Ping was silent, this kind of decision can't be made, and once it's done, it can't be reversed.

However, Sun Jian is indeed a rare masterpiece in the world.

Although Xiping does not leave home, he knows the general trend of the world and the wealthy people in various places, with his understanding of Sun Jian, this person really has a heroic posture, in the troubled era of the late Han Dynasty, it may not be impossible to achieve a great cause.

If there is anyone else in this world who is worthy of his assistance, Sun Jian must be one of them.

As for Kuang Fu Sheji, he is loyal to the Han family, so let him go to hell!

Xiping is not one of those scholars who cling to the legacy of his ancestors, he has always been loyal to his own ideals, and he has no idea of supporting the Han family at all, otherwise he would not have been idle at home and had nothing to do.

Countless thoughts passed through my heart in an instant.

Seeing that Sun Jian's intentions were very sincere, Xi Ping did not hesitate anymore, and immediately took a long look and said, "Ping, see the lord!" ”

Sun Jian was suddenly overjoyed, grabbed Xiping's hands and said with a long smile: "Sir, please get up!" ”

……

Shunyang, County Government Office.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

The county lieutenant of Shunyang looked panicked, rushed into the lobby, and said quickly to the county order who was reading the bamboo slips behind the case: "Just now, Chen Boting Pavilion Chief sent someone to report, and a Xiliang cavalry suddenly appeared to the west of Chen Boting, and the squire Huang Wu's Zhuangzi was attacked!" ”

"What?"

The county commander was stunned at first, then taken aback, and said in confusion: "How could the Xiliang cavalry appear in Shunyang?" ”

The county lieutenant hurriedly said: "I don't know, the lower officials are also wondering about this matter, Shunyang is two hundred miles away from Wuguan, it stands to reason that even if the Xiliang army occasionally goes out of Wuguan to rob, it will also loot more in Danshui and Nanxiang." Shunyang is the hinterland of Nanyang, how could the Xiliang Army come here. But Chen Boting's long words are conclusive, and the lower officials have to believe it! ”

The county commander exclaimed: "It's bad, can't the Xiliang army attack Nanyang?" ”

The county lieutenant's face also changed, "If that's the case, then it's a big trouble." ”

The county commander frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "Have you ever seen clearly, how many Xiliang cavalry are there?" ”

The county lieutenant said in a condensed voice: "According to the body, I don't know very well, the group of Xiliang cavalry suddenly appeared, and no people nearby saw it, after breaking through the squire Huangwu's Zhuangzi, no one escaped, only the people in the neighboring villages heard the shouting and killing, and reported to the government to know, Chen Boting, the chief sent someone to investigate, judging that the Xiliang cavalry had killed it, and the lower officials had sent someone to investigate!" ”

When the county order heard this, he immediately frowned, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, how can I conclude that it was the Xiliang cavalry who killed me." Whether Chen Bo Pavilion Chief has made a mistake in his judgment, this matter is a serious matter, and it must be reported to Lord Taishou to know, and it is not allowed to be sloppy! ”

"This ......"

The county lieutenant was also a little hesitant, not sure. (To be continued......)
