A moment later, Sun Kewang rushed to Xu Ping's place.

"Ah, it turned out to be Boss Lu, who has admired his name for a long time." After hearing this name, Sun Kewang suddenly smiled, walked to Lu Yufan's side affectionately, and bowed his hand: "Boss Lu's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and everyone who knows is full of admiration, I have long wanted to thank Boss Lu in person, but I have never had the opportunity." ”

"Don't dare to be." Lu Yufan was flattered, and hurriedly thanked: "The villain is just asking for money, and he deserves to be praised by General Sun." ”

Sun Kewang said disapprerovingly: "Seeking wealth is the duty of a businessman, and tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of millions of people in Henan are all subject to Boss Lu's great virtue, I wanted to erect a monument to Boss Lu, but I was worried that it would be unfavorable to Boss Lu." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lu Yufan naturally thanked him humbly.

The army around him was still rolling by, Xu Ping was afraid that the two would not finish talking, he knew that Sun Kewang still wanted to import tools and craftsmen, so he quickly interrupted: "This Lu boss transported muskets to Xuzhou, and the checkpoints along the way ......" Xu Ping told Sun Kewang the ins and outs of the matter, and Lu Yufan explained on the side that he wanted to ask for a voucher that he could not pay taxes when transporting Tibetan silver grain out of the country.

After hearing what Lu Yufan said, Sun Kewang frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, first of all, if Boss Lu is unimpeded, I am afraid that it will attract people's eyes and ears; Secondly, how can the creeps at each level tell whether it is my handwriting or not? Moreover, if I give Boss Lu this convenience today, there may be profiteers who will forge my handwritten book in the future. ”

Xu Ping felt that Sun Kewang's words were very reasonable, and Lu Yufan was suddenly stunned. It's just that Sun Kewang still has a later text, he turned around and said to Xu Ping: "General, the last general feels that he can't let Boss Lu suffer no matter what, with Boss Lu's meaning, transporting grain out of the country is the best policy, and this way will probably cost seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and the last general thinks that it is better to give Boss Lu a thousand taels in more batches." ”

Lu Yufan was embarrassed to hear this: "Five hundred taels is enough." ”

Sun Kewang said with a smile: "There will inevitably be losses on the road, Boss Lu doesn't have to be polite." ”

So Xu Ping gave Lu Yufan four thousand taels of silver, and after Lu Yufan, who was very grateful, left, the smile on Sun Kewang's face disappeared as his figure disappeared: "Hmph, black-hearted businessman." ”

Xu Ping said with relief: "It is always beneficial to our army." ”

"If it weren't for that, how could I let him?" The anger on Sun Kewang's face was mixed with contempt: "This person is mercenary, shameless, has no love for the people, and cannot be loyal to his father, and a fire gun is sold for forty taels of silver!" ”

Xu Ping pulled Sun Kewang to continue to move forward with the army, and the soldiers on both sides saluted them after seeing the two generals, Xu Ping was busy returning the salute, and said to the people next to him: "Just now I was worried that you would not finish talking to Boss Lu about business, and you would be in a hurry to buy craftsmen and tools from him, and it would be bad to delay the march." ”

"Brother Xu is too worried, how could I let a businessman choke all the lifeblood of our camp, and also understand our needs?" In order to encourage his tired subordinates in the past few days, Xu Ping followed the army for a day, and Sun Kewang and he always said while walking: "This time I take Guide, the general should give me the teaching team, right?" ”

"How many times has Brother Sun said it?" Xu Ping smiled bitterly: "That's the case. ”

……

The news of the loss of Ningling came, and Guide was suddenly in chaos, and the prefect Ren Botong received a report that only more than 1,000 troops had arrived, but the defenders in the city had no fighting spirit, and they dispersed in a hurry after seeing the banner of the army, and some people simply opened the door and surrendered. However, no matter how Ren Botong defended himself in the newspaper, he knew that the city would be full of rumors tomorrow: either that the thieves came 500,000, or 1 million.

"Hurry up, please Yu Shuai." Without waiting for the messenger to finish speaking, Ren Botong hurriedly shouted, because he was afraid that Yu Dong would harass the place, so he didn't dare to let his subordinates enter the city, but since he was relied on by the governor of Henan as a well-known commander in the city, the prefect of Guide of course also attached great importance to it, so that this army was stationed in Guide by Guide. At the moment, the prefect planned to release Yu Dong's troops from the power to enter the city to defend together, and at the same time, he also asked with a glimmer of hope: "Has this news been confirmed?" ”

"Master, it's true." The soldiers of Guide Mansion who rushed to report the emergency military situation sighed mournfully, and just now he only said a beginning and was interrupted by Ren Botong's order to find Yu Dong, and the latter did not have time to say: "The master doesn't know, Yu Shuai has already run away, he fled long before the news of Ningling came, at that time we were still wondering how Yu Shuai suddenly pulled out of the camp in broad daylight, and he didn't even say hello when he said to leave." ”

"Yu Shuai ......" Ren Botong felt that his brain was beginning to hurt, he remembered clearly, just two days ago, Yu Dong also swore that there would be no war in winter, and the reinforcements of the new army would arrive in Henan when the spring began: "Yu Shuai is famous in Henan, how can he escape from the battle?" It must have been to train the troops, right? ”

After Yu Dong left without a trace, the news from Ningling's side arrived, and then the confused officers and soldiers defending the city suddenly realized: "My lord, Yu Shuai has to send three or four waves of horses to Kaifeng Mansion every day these days, and there are people keeping an eye on the movements of the thieves day and night. Did Xu Thief know it as soon as he entered the Guide Mansion? This little guy didn't dare to say it, but Ning Ling's side was lost, and it was impossible for Yu Shuai not to know it early. ”

"Yu Dong's ......" Ren Botong suddenly changed color, and scolded: "Why didn't you tell me early?" ”

"My lord, this multi-gang detective horse to spy on the thieves is also Yu Shuai's responsibility, at that time, the little ones were not able to admire, where would they have thought that Yu Shuai was trying to escape as soon as possible."

Ren Botong also knew that the fault was not in these soldiers defending the city, since the biggest reliance on Yu Dong was gone, Ren Governor could only retreat and find Yang Jiangyi, the commander of the four walls of De, who he had appointed, to discuss urgently.

I heard that Xu Ping didn't even do the reorganization, and after returning to Germany despite the hard work of Lian Zhan, Yang Jiangyi was also shocked, but after seeing the anxious eyes of the prefect who promoted and reused him, Yang Jiangyi immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and we will be able to shake our teeth with one heart from top to bottom!" General Yang thought for a while, and added: "It's about to be winter, we don't come out of the wall, I don't think that the thief will be able to surround it for a long time, and there are tens of thousands of male teachers in the governor of Kaifeng, and the thief will be difficult to take care of, and he will definitely let him return." ”

Although Yu Dong ran away, Ren Botong still remembered what he said, and seeing that the words of the confidant general coincided with the Optimus Jade Pillar in the governor's mouth, Ren Botong was a little relieved: "But now that the troops in the city are insufficient, what is good?" ”

Now there are only a few thousand local officers and soldiers in Guide City, and the only ones left are the government officials and militia groups. General Yang thought for a moment, and then said again: "My lord, it is what the last general just said: strong dragons do not suppress the head snake. After the adults come to return to Germany, treat their fathers and elders well, and people think of retribution, and the end will protect our Tang Shouzhong Tang heroes who return to Decheng. Tang Daxia was trained horizontally in thirteen Taibao and was invulnerable; There are 300 disciples under him, all of whom have the ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and now is the time to employ people, and the last general thinks that he might as well give Tang Daxia a rank of general and guerrilla, so that Tang Daxia can come out to serve the country and share the worries of the adults. ”

Guide hero Tang Shouzhong, nicknamed the Central Plains Renyi, has been in the limelight for the past two years, and his fame in the green forest of Henan has caught up with the Central Plains hero of Kaifeng City.

Like Yang Jiangyi's reaction just now, Zhongyuan Renyi's face turned pale: "The villain heard that Xu Thief is Huang Hou's proud disciple, and when he is a tiger general, he has the courage of ten thousand people......"

Yang Jiangyi interrupted Tang Shouzhong: "Tang Daxia, how does the prefect treat you?" ”

Not long after Ren Botong took office in Guide, Henan was seriously troubled, and everyone regarded it as a dangerous road, and he did everything possible not to take office here, and Chongzhen Tianzi did not know who had the talent to govern and who was handsome, so he drew lots in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait, and whoever was drawn was the talent selected by Zhu Yuanzhang for today's son. As a good minister chosen by Emperor Taizu in the spirit of heaven, Ren Botong had to come to Germany to take office, and after arriving here, he was very tolerant of the heroes of the green forest, especially Tang Shouzhong, a good man who cooperated with the imperial court, and Ren Botong turned a blind eye to all kinds of businesses he operated.

Tang Shouzhong sighed, stood up and knelt down to Ren Botong again: "With Huang Hou's proud disciple as an enemy, the villain knows that he is more auspicious, but the villain still understands the truth of the grace of dripping water and the reciprocation of springs. It's just that...... It's just that if the villain and the villain's disciples are damaged, please also ask the prefect to be kind to their families. ”

Ren Botong hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help: "Tang Daxia relaxes, as long as he is safe, the righteous man who sacrificed his life must have no worries, this mansion swears, swears!" ”

Tang Shouzhong sighed again, and without even saying a word of thanks, he said goodbye and left: "The villain is a scoundrel, and he won't say anything else, so he will go and gather his children." ”

"The great festival and righteousness are entrusted to the people in the market." After Tang Shouzhong left, Ren Botong sighed with emotion, he looked at Yang Jiangyi on the side: "Brother remember that Brother Yang has three sons, right?" ”

"The prefect sees it clearly," General Yang understood it by mistake, and patted his chest again: "The last general, father and son, went into battle together, and swore to live and die with Guide." ”

"Yang Jiangyi, with you guarding the city, I am at ease, Xu Ping'er is not afraid!" Ren Botong paused, and said: "Brother Yang's third brother is still unmarried, and my brother has a little girl who has reached the age when it is time to leave the cabinet. ”

Yang Jiangyi's surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "Kill the villain, kill the villain." ”

"Suffering together, it is the friend of life and death, how can we stick to the difference between civil and military." Ren Botong did not allow General Yang to resign, and immediately started to write the marriage letter: "Since your third son is my son-in-law, then you can't go into battle, how can my beloved daughter be a widow?" After keeping the return to Germany, let them marry. ”

Yang Jiangyi, who was gearing up to rectify the defense, was sent out of the gate, Ren Botong's face sank, and he called Shi Wenxi, the head catcher of De, again: "Secretly prepare dry firewood and vegetable oil, and send them to my house at night when no one is around." ”

Svency was shocked and shouted, "My lord, why do you have to do this? ”

"That Xu Ping is a proud disciple of Huang Hou, and even the famous Yu Shuai in Henan is frightened. I am an official of the imperial court, and I cannot be humiliated by thieves, and the day the city is broken is the time for me to serve my father! Although he said so, Ren Botong inevitably still had a trace of luck in his heart, so he carefully advised again: "You must transport it when there is no one, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers and civilians defending the city, earnestly." ”

After Swenxi tearfully took the order and left, Ren Botong sat on the Taishi chair for a long time, and he really couldn't think of anything else to do, so he wrote a chapter to the imperial court, and finally did not forget to add some introductions about the hero Tang Shouzhong promoted by him, saying that this person is loyal and righteous, shocked when he sees good, jealous and hateful, Yunyun.

At this time, there was already a great chaos inside and outside the city, and the soldiers were busy closing the city gates and dispersing the pedestrians in the market to go home, as if Xu Ping's army was already outside the city.

An old man who was still fishing for turtles by the moat, when he hurried into the city gate, he didn't even know where to throw the basket containing the fish and turtles. The old man walked slowly back to his lodgings with a dejected expression, carefully closed the door, tossed the hat aside, and went to the bedside and lifted the futon to reveal a deep hole underneath. A human face poked out of the hole, he took a fishing line from the old man's hand, compared the wet stains on it, and nodded: "No change, very good." ”

This man had been ordered to lurk in Guide for many days, and according to his observations, the moat of Guide had fallen into disrepair and had already been so badly silted up that some of the sections could even be waded in vain. These positions had been secretly reported to their superiors, who were also lurking in the city, and these two subordinates continued to monitor the officers and soldiers for any clearance. It is unlikely that the officers and soldiers will carry out this work at night, but they check it from time to time to make sure that nothing has changed.

After hearing that the whole city was under martial law, Chen Zhe, who had personally infiltrated Guide a few days ago and commanded the whole city, judged: "It is estimated that the adults will arrive in two days, and at that time, it will be time for us to show our skills." ”

Chen Zhe estimated that the invading army would not be able to reach Guide within two days, but he miscalculated, and the first army would resist the city of Guide in the afternoon of the next day.

The leader of the army is Zhang Xianbao, the generalissimo of the camp and Guide, who has no blood relationship with the famous King Zhang of Xiying, just a coincidence. Many years ago, Zhang Xianbao gathered people to make a rebellion because of food resistance, and now he is a well-known figure in Guide. Of course, Zhang Xianbao has a connection with Chuang Ying, but this generalissimo of Guide is self-appointed by him, and Chuang Camp doesn't care about it.

Originally, Zhang Xianbao's encirclement and suppression of the local officers and soldiers in Guide Mansion was more than enough, and Ren Governor's Mansion also gave him an astonishing 1,000 taels of bonuses on his head, but it still didn't help, but this good life ended with Yu Dong fleeing into Guide Mansion with his field troops. Yu Dong governed the army and practiced martial arts in Guide Mansion, and usually relied on the grass cowards of Guide Mansion to train the troops, as the largest anti-grain force in Guide Mansion, Zhang Xianbao has been ruthlessly attacked by Yu Dong's iron fist during this period. In just a few months, Zhang Xianbao lost half of his younger brothers—a heavy loss that had not been seen in several years combined.

Yu Dong's most concerned thing was Xu Ping's movements, and Zhang Xianbao was most concerned about Yu Dong's movements, and Zhang Xianbao knew the news that Yu Dong had fled with the field troops almost immediately. Zhang Xianbao, who was overjoyed, immediately swore to set off and rushed to Guide Mansion to help Xu Ping, the general of the camp. Along the way, many people have been coaxing the news that the Guidehouse has been lost, and the camp is opening a warehouse to release grain. A large number of half-believing hungry people have rushed to the vicinity of Guide, after seeing Zhang Xianbao's banner, these people are even more convinced, have asked to join the camp, Zhang Xianbao did not refuse, all included in the banner, and when he arrived at the city of Guide, there were already two or three thousand subordinates.

Before nightfall that day, there were already six generalissimos, eight wing marshals, more than a dozen commanders, and governors around Guide City, and everyone got together and scolded Yu Dong, and everyone here has been chased by this field army in the recent period of time, and there is no way to go to the sky and the ground, although the loss is not as big as Zhang Xianbao, but it is definitely not a small number. Because it was rumored that there were countless displaced people who would open a warehouse in Guide, the military strength of these dozens of generals soared several times and more than ten times overnight, and tens of thousands of righteous soldiers publicly elected Zhang Xianbao, the generalissimo of Guide, as the marshal of the righteous army, and coordinated and commanded before Xu Ping arrived.

Across the moat, the triumphant Zhang Xianbao shouted to Yang Jiangyi at the head of the city: "General Yang, General Xu personally raised the army of 580,000 to take this small guide......" Originally, the rebels outside the city discussed the use of 500,000 yuan, but Zhang Xianbao felt that 500,000 was too neat and didn't sound like it was true, so he added an eight: "General Yang has three heads and six arms, how can he resist?" Let's sacrifice the city quickly, don't give your life to Ren Gouguan, a Jiangxi barbarian, what is it called to shed blood for an outsider in our hometown? As long as General Yang abandons the darkness and turns to the light, I, Zhang Xianbao, will take this life in front of General Xu to guarantee that General Yang is okay, and the brothers here in Germany today are witnesses! ”

The generals below under the banner of breaking into the camp cheered, and persuaded Yang Jiangyi to surrender in unison, but Yang Jiangyi was silent, although he had the heart to scold back, but he was worried that if the city was broken, the consequence of angering these people would be to make the hometown father suffer. And the tens of thousands of soldiers who guarded the city gathered by General Yang saw many famous thieves outside the city, and many of them trembled. Seeing that the guard Yang Jiangyi was speechless when shouting outside the city, these guards were even more frightened, facing the black and oppressive heads outside the city, many timid soldiers were about to collapse to the ground.

At this moment, a group of men and horses rushed to the head of the city, led by Tang Shouzhong, who was promoted to guerrilla in the Central Plains yesterday and was a hero of Guide, and now all the ruffians in the city have been formed into an army by Tang Shouzhong to assist in the defense of the city, and now dozens of heroes with big shoulders and round waists are all his cronies. After rushing to Yang Jiangyi's side, Tang Shouzhong stretched out his arm and scolded: "Zhang Xiaoqi thief, what are you dreaming about in the daytime, let's wipe the dog's mouth quickly, it's all a joke." ”

After seeing Tang Shouzhong, Zhang Xianbao was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the Central Plains Benevolence and Righteousness Tang Daxia......"

However, before Zhang Xianbao had time to speak, the other marshals and commanders around him were already angry, and they jumped out and pointed at the city and scolded:

"Don sends you dog thief to the end."

"Don send you martial arts scum to the end!"

……

Originally, Tang Shouzhong and the heroes of Guide Green Forest still had incense, and during the New Year's holidays, he never missed the congratulatory gifts of the cottages everywhere, no matter how big or small, and the brothers in the rivers and lakes never touched Tang Daxia's dart car or red goods. But a few years ago, after Tang Shouzhong climbed the high branch of the prefect of Deren, he turned his face and did not recognize people, did not pay any attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and betrayed all the dark spots of heroes from all walks of life in the capital and county town to the government, and framed them as sworn friends who broke into the camp.

Because of the relationship with the Guide Mansion, Tang Shouzhong's caravan had the protection of officers and soldiers, not to mention moving his dart car, he would be thankful if he didn't come to the door, and the business of all kinds of green forest heroes in the city was also copied by the government, whether it was a casino or a kiln, it all became the business of Tang Shouzhong's family.

Among the people under the city of Guide today, there are many people who have never thought of falling into the grass under the banner of breaking into the camp, and these were also the heroes in the city, and in the end they were all framed by Tang Shouzhong and forced to go to the ravine, and really became grass cowards, when they think of the family property that was taken away by Tang Shouzhong, as well as the wives and daughters who were occupied by Tang Shouzhong's master and apprentice, these people can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. In recent days, Tang Shouzhong also asked his disciples to be guides for Yu Dong's field army to encircle and suppress these mortal enemies, and many people were forced to death by Tang Shouzhong, who were lucky enough to escape, and the little property they had gathered for many years was also robbed by Yu Dong when he broke through the cottage. New hatred and old hatred, what these people want to see most is to skin Tang Shouzhong alive, light his sky lantern, and then kill all the men in his family.

After this loud scolding sounded around, Zhang Xianbao suddenly couldn't speak, in fact, his anti-grain team really had no enmity with Tang Shouzhong, and even in private Zhang Xianbao also bought emergency life food from Tang Shouzhong. When Yu Dong attacked his cottage, Tang Shouzhong never got involved, and even another hungry leader secretly told Zhang Xianbao: Tang Shouzhong bought the hundreds of women and children captured by Yu Dong and secretly returned them to him.

Seeing the dozens of scolding below, Tang Shouzhong didn't bother to talk about the Confucianism, and waved his hand to summon the eldest disciple behind him: "Go, bring a hundred of our girls." ”

Before the people below could scold to the end, they saw a large group of colorful women suddenly appear on the tower of Guide City, and after these people were taken up to the city tower, they all crossed their waists with one hand, and pointed at the people under the city with the other arm, and scolded them loudly.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the rebels under the city were defeated, and these women had sharp voices, smooth speech, and clear words, and in the blink of an eye, they scolded the rebel generals so much that they couldn't raise their heads. The big leader Zhang Xianbao naturally took on extremely heavy firepower, only to be so angry that his face was purple, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and finally Zhang Xianbao shouted hatefully: "Tang Shouzhong, when General Xu arrives, it will be your end!" ”

The rebels under the city went away, and Tang Shouzhong looked up to the sky and smiled: "Incompetent rats." ”
