Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Falls Chapter 28 Raiding the House

The Yellow Turban Army in Lou County was a little depressed, because yesterday they were still facing a plate of scattered Lou County defenders, even if they didn't have any large siege equipment, these Yellow Turban Army were confident that they would defeat Lou County! After all, Lou County is not monolithic, and in the face of the menacing Yellow Turban Army, it can be said that they will open the city and surrender after a while.

But all the original good ideas were dashed with a night attack last night. The Yellow Turban at the East Gate can be said to have been wiped out, and the soldiers who fled were also surrendered by the other South Gate and West Gate. However, the Yellow Turban generals who presided over the army obviously had no experience in dealing with these defeated soldiers, and actually integrated these fleeing people directly into the army, resulting in low morale of the Yellow Turban Army during the siege on the second day.

"Ergouzi, let me tell you! Last night, that cavalry was like a god descending to earth, and it was a human life when the sword fell in hand, and if I hadn't used my strength to escape, I guess you wouldn't have seen the second uncle......"

"Silly Qiangzi, you can listen to my brother, that group of cavalry last night was not human at all. As soon as the spear comes out, I will give you a string of ...... like a sugar gourd."

Since these routs were included in the Yellow Turban Army and were not effectively isolated and inspected, these peasant rebels who did their duty became the best propagandists in Xuyang. After last night's battle, the shadow left by Xu Yang's overlord iron cavalry was infinitely expanded, and even the entire Yellow Turban Army knew that there was a "Heavenly Divine Soldier" in the imperial court last night. Killing people is like harvesting wheat, and a casual shot is a string of human lives—not a human life!

And Xu Yang, who was standing on the city wall, was leading the county order of Lou County and a group of civil and military personnel to inspect the city defense, and even the representatives of the family gentry of the previous three families were also following behind. These people are all extremely respectful, as long as Xu Yang opens his mouth where he needs something, they all rush to get on one by one, and they are afraid that he will be a little late and make this Shura general unhappy.

"This place, send some more archers! In addition, there are light and dark sentry posts placed on the city wall every 30 meters, although these yellow turbans have no siege equipment, but the battle must be 100% spirited. If it is really because of our momentary negligence that we let the Yellow Turban thieves take advantage of it, then we are all sinners of the imperial court! Xu Yang said in a fierce voice.

And after an order, the gentry behind them all actively expressed their people, money, and materials to strengthen this place. This is not to say how much they love the court or Lou County, but that they spare their lives!

Last night, the representatives of the five families who were later tied up by Gao Chong, or the heads of the five families, can be said to have entered the council hall and were still shouting there. As a result, this Zhendong general was really not used to anything wrong at all, and all of them were twenty rods on the spot, and they were directly imprisoned! and announced that these five wealthy gentry were completely removed from Lou County, and they were also accused of banditry and yellow turbans. With such a big hat buttoned up, the representatives of the three families were stupid at that time!

If it is said that the proper yang and yin disobedience are often done by these gentry of the world, but the crime of gangsterism is something that no family can bear! You must know that only in the peaceful world can they make a fortune in silence, and in the event of this uprising, they can only bow to Xu Yang's obscenity!

Our client Xu Yang didn't care about the thoughts of those gentry behind him, after all, he was a dignified second-class official, and it was not a problem to control his small Lou County in wartime. Don't say it's Lou County, if Xu Yang is now in Yangzhou City, then it is okay to control the entire Yangzhou battle. After all, in wartime, everything must be close to the army, and any special engagement can be called a bandit.

After inspecting the city defense, Xu Yang had no intention of going out of the city to fight, but ordered Xiang Hu to supervise the south gate and handed over the defense of the north gate to the original city guards of Lou County. After arranging everything, Xu Yang still has one more important thing to do - that is, raiding the house!

The previous five troublemakers Xu Yang just killed their head yesterday, and Xu Yang could only arrange Lou County City Defense first! It was already almost noon on the second day, and the city defense work had been arranged, and Xu Yang believed that as long as the enemy did not use yesterday's Yellow Turban wrestlers to attack and attack the city, even if Lou County gave them another month, there would be no problem at all.

"It's time to harvest the corn!" Xu Yang thought in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, so Gao Chong selected 3,000 scattered star elites and followed him to Haoshen Chen's house first.

The head of the Chen family was suddenly taken away by a team of strange soldiers last night, but the Chen family was not so flustered. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, the servants are still cleaning the courtyard, and the housekeeper's account is working as usual, completely unaware that their eldest master is dead!

"Who are you? What is this for? The man at the door of Chen's house was no longer the little guy he was last night, and when he saw Xu Yang with a large number of elite soldiers in the distance, he shouted from afar because of fear.

At the same time, another janitor immediately ran into the house, obviously to report the news!

Xu Yang, who saw this scene, smiled slightly, I used to always see others raiding their homes on TV, that feeling can be said to be cool, don't want it, today I finally have the opportunity to try it once! A tacit look at Gao Chong on the side, and Xu Yang stood in front of the gate of the Chen family.

Gao Chong shouted angrily: "Lou County Chen family, fornication with yellow turbans!" In vain they tried to open the gates of the city, and let the thieves enter the city, burn, kill and plunder. In the name of General Zhendong, the Chen family was raided, and the upper and lower people were imprisoned and awaiting disposal. All the Chen family's property is confiscated, and those who resist will be killed! Rush! ”

Poof!

As Gao Chong's deep voice read out this "traitorous words", the family standing at the door of Chen's house had already knelt down in a daze! He is just an ordinary member of the Chen family, and he has been majestic for a while because of his work in the Chen family on weekdays. But he understands one thing, that is, today's Chen family must be finished.

Rumble!

The Scattered Star Elite is an eighth-order special class, and the red-lacquered wooden door of the Chen family was directly kicked open by the soldiers, and the soldiers holding various weapons controlled all the Chen family members along the way. Whether it was the family members or the old servants and housekeepers, they were all arranged to wait outside the wing room of the Chen family's first courtyard.

An old housekeeper who hurriedly walked out of the backyard hurriedly greeted Feng with a smile on his face: "Official, official!" Is there some misunderstanding, sir, calm down first, let's look at the back hall, our Chen family is also a branch of the Xuzhou Chen family, and the master also has friends who serve under the Xuzhou Thorn History, how can you think our Chen family can be a bandit......"

The scattered star elite in front didn't pay attention to the old butler, after all, this old man who was over sixty years old and powerless didn't pose any threat to them. Even Gao Chong, who led the troops, just glanced at it with disdain, and continued to command the troops to raid the house!

However, Xu Yang, who walked in at the end, saw this old man, and he was happy! It seems that all of his achievements today are tied to this old man!

"Old man over there, there is chaos here, you go to my side, so as not to get hurt!" Xu Yang was not wearing armor today, but a simple blue robe, and when he waved his hand to talk to the old man, he also showed a special smile that he thought was kind.

This old man is the old housekeeper of the Chen family, and the head of the Chen family attaches great importance to this old housekeeper when he is there. The so-called old man is a good man, and when the old man saw that a group of soldiers was followed by such a young man who looked like a scribe, it was obvious that the people in front were all big-headed soldiers, and the one behind them was the one who could say the word!

Hurriedly exerted his maximum speed, and suddenly threw himself at Xu Yang's feet, hugged Xu Yang's thighs, and began to cry: "This adult, our master was wronged...... Our master is a branch of the Xuzhou Chen family, and the Xuzhou Chen family works together under the Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao, how can the Chen family master be regarded as a real court person! How could it be a traitor...... Your Excellency, you have to help the grass people call the shots......"

Did the Chen family bandits? In fact, Xu Yang can say very responsibly that the Chen family has no bandits at present! But now that the yellow scarves are in chaos, Xu Yang needs to accumulate his strength. For ordinary people, Xu Yang naturally won't start, and like this, the gentry of the clan who are still holding it in wartime, Xu Yang will definitely not get used to them!

If your Chen family doesn't communicate with bandits today, are you going to let Master and I send troops to Lou County for nothing? Although Xu Yang thought so in his heart, he showed an embarrassed expression on the road, and slowly said: "The old man is still invited, I am just a pawn under General Zhendong." Last night, your lord was invited by our general Zhendong, saying that he wanted to donate some grain, grass, gold and silver to each family to defend the city, but this Chen family master was upright and said that he would not pay it if he broke the sky! In desperation, General Zhendong sent the five family heads led by the Chen family head to prison......"

After speaking, Xu Yang couldn't help but shake his head, as if he admired the courage of the Chen family master! However, if this old man knew that the Chen family master who had tortured them was Xu Yang in front of him, he didn't know what the situation would be.

The old man's eyes flashed when he heard the young scribe's words, although he didn't know why the Chen family master was unwilling to pay for the grain, but now that the Chen family master had been arrested, he didn't have time to think about this problem! The most important thing now is to get the head of the family out first, and this young scribe also said that General Zhendong is doing so much just to seek wealth. Even the five families who were under house arrest including the Chen family were not without blackmail, and they despised the Zhendong general in their hearts, but the old man did not express it.

"My lord, we donate, we donate!" The old man hurriedly nodded and said like a woodpecker, "General Zhendong is sitting in Lou County, and he has worked hard to resist the Yellow Turban!" Our Chen family is willing to donate 1,000 quintals of grain and 10,000 gold. Please also look at the affection of our lord for such a donation, and forgive one or two......"

Hearing that the old housekeeper of the Chen family opened his mouth with a thousand loads of grain, he couldn't help but feel the strength of this family gentry. However, when he thought that the Chen family was the biggest gentry in Lou County, and he was inextricably linked with the Chen family in Xuzhou, Xu Yang was also relieved! But even if the old housekeeper of the Chen family doesn't say these things, won't they still be Xu Yang's own after copying the house?

"Old man, if these things are raided, they should all be filled into the treasury......" Xu Yang said while rubbing his index finger and thumb constantly, signaling the old man to say, "I'll tell you the truth, old man, our general Zhendong, like some special gadgets!" If only I could ...... Special things, such a wartime thing is also a matter of our General Zhendong's words. ”

As the saying goes, when a person grows old, the old housekeeper heard Xu Yang say this, coupled with the greedy gesture and expression, he had already guessed the trick nine times out of ten.

"My lord, if it's just such a thing, then the old man will do it! Ensure that the official is satisfied, and ask the adults to collect the troops, let's not publicize it first! After all, our Chen family also wants to save face...... If this matter reaches Xuzhou, it will not be easy to handle at that time......" The old housekeeper said with a lewd smile, and finally did not forget to warn Xu Yang.

The meaning of the words is nothing more than that our Chen family also has a foundation, even if it is the Zhendong general of the second grade, then we must give face to the Xuzhou Assassin Shi! Xuzhou, as one of the few wealthy places in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, also has the elite of Danyang in the civilized world, and is the junction of the north and south of the Central Plains, both military and humanities have a very important position. Such a history of Xuzhou assassination is often half a level larger than that of the same level of feudal officials, not to mention facing a Zhendong general who has no real power.

Intimidate? If the intimidation is useful, why does Xu Yang bring so many soldiers to fight the yellow scarf, everyone stands directly on the city gate and starts bragging, to see who can scare the other party to death, where is there any need for counterinsurgency! If such intimidation could achieve the goal, then You Heng would have become the emperor a long time ago!

"This old man, I also told you this in private...... Our General Zhendong is a good-looking person! Xu Yang said helplessly, "Otherwise, you take me to find some rare things, and I'll help you hand them over to the general." As long as the general's anger is gone, the aftermath is not a matter of one sentence! ”

Shameless! The old butler's ideal is only this word, he has never seen such a brazen person! If you don't want to say something, you have to let yourself give things first, and then you can release people. As for stopping the raid? It seems that it can only be said that it is something to give.

"Your Excellency...... If I gave you what you wanted...... Is it that the house will not be raided, and our family head can also be released? The old man asked tremblingly, still a little drumming in his heart.

"Old butler, I'll tell you the truth!" Xu Yang said with an honest face, "This time to control Lou County, our Zhendong General is determined to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." And now the five major families are emerging, and if we want to say that the next family takes out things, our general may not be lenient......"

Hearing this, the old housekeeper chuckled. He has also dealt with some military personnel and has some understanding of the style of military work. Even in the psychology of the old housekeeper, these soldiers are actually a group of bandits who have obtained legal status, and they must be careful and careful when doing things with these people.

While the old housekeeper was thinking about it, Xu Yang continued: "However, the Chen family is different from other families after all. It is true that as the old housekeeper said before, the Chen family has a great relationship with Xuzhou, even if it is a general of our family, we have to think more about it. Moreover, the Chen family may have only been bewitched by someone with a heart for a while, and the general of my family will naturally see everything and return the Chen family master an innocent ......."

The old housekeeper nodded silently, expressing his approval of Xu Yang's words. He has also heard of this Zhendong general, but he is just a general with no real power who has just been enthroned by the imperial court, and it is understandable that such a person can make some small moves in wartime to make some benefits. As for going against Xuzhou? I'm afraid that this general doesn't have the guts!

"My lord, come with me!" After the old housekeeper "figured it out", he took Xu Yang to the main hall.

Silently following the old butler, the soldiers along the way were very interested in staying away from the two, as for the matter of raiding the house has not stopped, after all, the entire Chen family's mansion is still very large. After coming to the main hall, except for some tables and chairs, other picture scrolls, porcelain and even bonsai have been cleaned up, and it seems that the efficiency of this scattered star elite is still very high.

The old housekeeper just shook his head helplessly at this scene, and in his heart he was still extremely sure that as long as their family master was okay, he would contact Xuzhou when the time came, and these things outside his body would still be able to come back!

The old butler walked to the bookshelf on the left side of the main hall, and there was no incense in a huge standing incense burner below. And Xu Yang, who saw this scene, also noticed this incense burner, it had not been used there, and there was not even incense ash in it, so I didn't have to think about it, this must be something like a dark grid! It seems that none of these gentry of the world can be underestimated......

Squeak!

I didn't see how the old butler operated, and after touching the incense burner a few times, the bookshelf in front of him opened directly to both sides, and a snow-white wall appeared behind it! On the other hand, it's not a dark grid, a snow-white wall.

After seeing this wall, the old butler touched the incense burner again, and saw that the wall moved up from below, and it opened in a way that was very similar to a modern automatic rolling door!

"I wipe ...... Double Trap! If people who are not careful estimate that after opening the first course, they will think that the master's family will not have time to dig the second course......" Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Yang couldn't help but praise the IQ of the Chen family master.

The wall rises to reveal a descending staircase, which is lit by glittering torches. But what exactly is like inside, then you can only go down and see how to know!

"My lord, please come here......" The old butler glanced at the stairs going down, and turned back to Xu Yang.

After the old housekeeper went down, Xu Yang made a gesture behind him, and then followed!

Gao Chong, who had been staring at this scene at the door, arranged for personnel to block the entire main hall, as for Xu Yang's safety issues? Gao Chong didn't think that such a small gentleman's house could have anything that threatened Xu Yang, and don't forget that their head of the family was still under "house arrest", and he didn't dare to do anything if he dared to give the old man ten guts......
