CHAPTER XXV

Everyone in Huanglongdong discussed, only taking advantage of the cold and freezing, to collect more Youkou, train strong soldiers, just wait for the beginning of spring, first go to avenge Zhang Biao, and by the way, get some grain and grass, in order to develop and grow.

There is nothing to do in winter, not to show it for the time being, in the blink of an eye, the grass grows and the warbler flies in March, and it is spring coming.

After several months of development, the Huanglong Cave has begun to see the scale, the front village under the mountain has doubled than before, and the entire cottage personnel has also developed to about 1,000 people, these months Yu Xiaoyu and Zhang Biao and others are not idle, or grab or buy, and also save more than 200 war horses.

On this day, Yu Xiaoyu was training soldiers and horses in the front village, only to see everyone wearing cyan tights, a white tiger head on the chest, a yellow character printed under the tiger's head, and a flying swallow spread its wings and soared under the yellow word, this is Lao Lai's masterpiece, and temporarily led more than 500 people under Xiaoyu's command, all of which were unified with this pattern, and Zhang Biao and Ouyang Feixia's sergeants were only embroidered with tiger heads and Feiyan respectively, so as to distinguish their own people and horses and highlight the status of Xiaoyu.

I saw this group of soldiers, there are old and young, the old ones are almost fifty years old, and the younger ones are only seventeen or eighteen years old, although the ages and heights are different, but at the moment they are all concentrated, with the change of the flag officer and flag around Yu Xiaoyu, or rush to tear and kill, or divide the troops to encircle, they are all meticulous and murderous.

"Yu Ye should be from a family, right?" When Lao Lai saw the military drill, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart and asked.

"It's not a family, the uncle in the family is a retired veteran, and he often taught me drills when I was young." Yu Xiaoyu said softly, and couldn't help but think of his uncle, but he didn't know that his uncle was alone in the capital, but he was fine.

"Second brother, not bad!" Zhang Biao rode outside and shouted from afar.

"Big brother can find out the news?" Yu Xiaoyu waited for Zhang Biao to get off the horse, grabbed the horse rope and asked.

"I have inquired clearly, on March 20, Qin Sheng will only celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and he will hold a banquet in Hongyu Building, the county seat, and the county order and landlords of all sizes will go there." Zhang Biao lowered his voice and said to Xiaoyu.

"Big brother, let's go, let's discuss on the mountain." Yu Xiaoyu waved his hand and asked his subordinates to lead the horse away, and the three of them walked up the mountain.

"Big brother, how do you want to move the troops?" After everyone was seated, Yu Xiaoyu asked.

"Qin Shengcai, this dog thing and Zhou Zhiren, this dog official, I can't wait to kill them now, when the time comes, I will take two hundred people to go and rush directly into Hongyu Tower, kill a big one, second brother, you will take someone to answer outside the city." Zhang Biao's eyes were red, and he said indignantly.

"Big brother, this matter must not be reckless, you see how this is." As he spoke, Yu Xiaoyu took out a map from his arms, which was impressively the terrain and villages in Neixiang County and its surroundings.

"Big brother, this is the county seat, there are three relatively large villages in the west, south and east directions around here, you see, this is Qinjiazhuang where Qin Shengcai is located, this is Zhoujiazhuang where Zhou Zhi's family is located, there is another one here, it is also the Wangjiazhuang where the landlord Wang Jia is located in the city, these three Zhuangzi are almost fifteen miles away from the county seat, and most of the grain and silver of the three families are also hidden here." Yu Xiaoyu said while gesturing on the map.

"Big brother, if this is not the case, our brother and sister three soldiers are divided into three roads, each leading two hundred, go directly to these three villages, first grab the money and grain, the eldest brother goes to Qinjiazhuang in the west, the second sister goes to Wangjiazhuang in the east, I take people to Zhoujiazhuang in the south, Qinjiazhuang and Wangjiazhuang are close to us, the eldest brother and the second sister robbed more grain and grass, that week caused people to embezzle for many years, there must be a lot of silver, I robbed more silver, and then met in Wangjiazhuang, and the second sister escorted the grain and grass back to the village." Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Biao.

It turned out that Zhang Biao was dedicated to matching Yu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Feixia, not letting Yu Xiaoyu call the second sister, only letting Yu Xiaoyu call Feixia, then Ouyang Feixia didn't understand what it meant, so he had to call Yu Xiaoyu the second sister, in front of Ouyang Feixia, Yu Xiaoyu didn't dare to call Feixia, so he called the second sister by the way, Yu Xiaoyu saw Zhang Biao looking at the map intently, his heart relaxed slightly, and continued.

"I will make an appointment with my eldest brother at the same time, second sister, you will do it half an hour later, after we do it, the news will definitely reach the county seat in half an hour, and then Zhou Qin and the two will definitely take people to go, and when the three of us meet, the second sister will escort the money and grain back to the village, and my eldest brother and I will lead the troops to rush to the county seat and copy the mansion of Zhou and Qin, so that it can be regarded as revenge for the eldest brother."

After Yu Xiaoyu finished speaking, the three of them all nodded and applauded.

"Lai, after we leave, you have to guard the cottage, if it is not for the three of us to bring the troops back, no one can get close to the cottage, if you get close, you will be killed by arrows!" Yu Xiaoyu instructed Lao Lai again.

"Don't worry, I will guard the cottage!" Lao Lai also patted his chest and promised.

"Big brother, this is the first big operation of our Yellow Dragon Army, if you can kill Zhou and Qin, it's best, if you can't kill them, there will be next time, you must not lose your life because of this." Yu Xiaoyu patted Zhang Biao's shoulder and said solemnly.

"Second brother rest assured, I know in my heart, seeing that the second brother is so confident in arranging the troops, why can't I take revenge, don't worry, if I really can't kill it, I won't force it, I will kill it next time." Zhang Biao can't guarantee it.

"Xiaoyu, sister, I don't want to press grain, I also want to go to the county seat." Ouyang Feixia looked at Yu Xiaoyu and said coquettishly.

"Eh, eh, second sister, the task of pressing grain is heavy, the people and horses in the whole village have eaten and drunk this time, if we can't safely transport grain back, we will have to drink the northwest wind in the past few months, such an important thing, except for the second sister in charge, how can I rest assured of others." Yu Xiaoyu's head was big for a while, Ouyang Feixia was delicate, but her temperament was very arrogant, and it was nothing to make trouble in ordinary times, but as soon as she opened her mouth to be coquettish, Yu Xiaoyu only felt that her heart was pounding, as if the little deer was bumping into each other, so she had to pretend to be calm and appeased.

"Well, second brother, how many times have I told you, it's called Feixia, you and I are brothers, Feixia is my junior sister, how can you call me sister, you can also follow me to call Feixia!" Zhang Biao was in a good mood, paid attention to the salutation again, and reprimanded fiercely.

"He's small, why can't he be called sister, if he doesn't call him sister, that's not taking advantage of his mother!" Ouyang Feixia turned around and stared at Zhang Biao angrily, forgetting about pressing the grain.

"Ahem, today's events are absolutely confidential, don't spread the word yet, I'll go back first." Yu Xiaoyu explained, and without waiting for the two to talk, he ran away without a trace. The angry Ouyang Feixia punched Zhang Biao is messy punch, Zhang Biao couldn't fight back, and said through gritted teeth: "Second brother, if you can't take Feixia, see how the eldest brother cleans you up!" ”

In a blink of an eye, it was March 20th, early in the morning, Hongyu Building was lit up, the red lantern was hung high, the hall on the first floor was full of thirty-three tables, the box on the second floor was also all open, the largest box was arranged into the main hall, and the big red longevity word was hung high.

Approaching noon, guests from all walks of life also came with gifts, the rich gentry of all the landlords in the county, the dignitaries and nobles greeted each other, the protocol officer at the door sang and continued, Qin Shengcai was also full of red light, sitting in the main hall, and chatting with Zhou Zhiren.

Yu Xiaoyu and the three of them gathered their own people early in the morning, in order to prevent the news from leaking, they did not inform the specific task, only let them disperse and sneak, each gathered at the destination, and when the hour was almost up, the three of them each led sixty men and horses, and went straight to Sanzhuang.

Zhang Biao took people to Qinjiazhuang, because today is Qin Shengcai's birthday, Zhuangzi is also jubilant, I saw the bright red silk in the wind, Qin Shengcai originally intended to entertain guests in Hongyulou at noon, and return to the village to hold a family banquet in the evening.

Originally, this Qinjiazhuang was not called Qinjiazhuang, when Li Chengyou ascended the throne, there were four or five surnames in the village, and every family had dozens of acres of thin fields, but in just ten years, all the land in the village belonged to the Qin family, and even the land of several nearby villages became the Qin family, because it was relatively close to the county seat and more convenient, so the Qin family moved from other Zhuangzi and changed it to Qinjiazhuang.

When Zhang Biao led people to appear, the people in Qinjiazhuang were dumbfounded, no one expected that there would be bandits to grab grain today, and they came to Qin's house to grab grain! The housekeeper who stayed behind came to the door and shouted: "Where did the bandits come from, don't you know that this is Qinjiazhuang?!" Our lord is a friend of the county order, and the eldest young master is the head of the county, who dares to harass our Qinjiazhuang! ”

As soon as the old butler's voice fell, he heard a whoosh, and a sharp arrow was stuck in his chest, and he immediately fell under the house, and he could not die anymore.

Zhang Biao waved his hand, and the bandits began to climb the wall and the door, and after a while, the Qin family's compound was broken.

The bandits gathered all the men, women, and children of the Qin family in the front yard to take care of them, and drove the hired farmers to carry grain and grass, dig pits to find money, and survived until noon.

"The hired farmers of the Qin family are standing on the side, and Qin Shengcai's family is on the side." Zhang Biao glanced at it, waited for everyone to stand up, and then said: "The hired farmer can go with us, or he can leave by himself, but he can't report to the Qin family, if you let me know, the whole family will not be spared!" ”

Zhang Biao looked at these hired farmers hungrily, half of them muttered that they wanted to leave, and there were twenty or thirty who wanted to follow Zhang Biao, Zhang Biao gestured with his eyes; "If you want to come with me, kill all these people." Zhang Biao pointed to Qin Shengcai's family and said.

The peasants looked at the long knife that was still on the ground, and they were suddenly frightened and did not dare to step forward.

"I just said that if you want to go with me, pick it up, and kill at least one person, or else I will kill you!" Zhang Biao's iron rod poked into the ground and scolded sharply.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, and those who wanted to go with Zhang Biao were all bold or homeless, they hesitated for a moment, picked up knives one after another, and killed Qin Shengcai's family.

Zhang Biao saw that everyone had done it, and he didn't delay, and ordered his subordinates to go into battle, and after a while, the Qin family was killed cleanly.

Only then did everyone understand that this time was not only robbing money, but the Qin family must have a grudge against the big boss, and this time they were here to take revenge.

Zhang Biao arranged for everyone to drive cattle and mules, transport grain and grass, and set fire to the Qin family's compound, warning the farmers who left, and then led the crowd to ride horses and rush to Wangjiazhuang.

Yu Xiaoyu's situation is similar to Zhang Biao's, the Zhou family didn't expect that someone would dare to attack the county master's hometown in broad daylight, and they controlled the situation without much effort.

Yu Xiaoyu was not reluctant, he caught Zhou Zhiren's second son, searched all the money, and led everyone to Wangjiazhuang.
