The seventh uncle said with a smile: "So the number in the arsenal of Xiangling County is right now." Even if it's not right, it's already ready to replace the dead ghost? ”

Wei Xuan also laughed, he had seen a lot of tricks in the TV series to cover up the mistakes in the accounts of the treasury. Don't talk about dozens of rusty weapons, those scenes in the granary of the world are all too familiar. Thinking that Huang Heng had already taken a countermeasure, he changed the topic and asked, "How is the Tang family's guard strength?" ”

"The Tang family has a manor in the west and east of the city, the east is called Gouzhuang, and the west is called Santai Mountain. Later, after the Yang family was raided, the Tang family and the other two families respectively purchased the Yang family's three estates. Normally, there are at least thirty guards per manor plus Zhuang slaves. If Huang Heng attends the night after tomorrow, at least twenty of the three classes of officials will go together. In addition, the county lieutenant also has more than 100 county soldiers of various types in his hands, including granaries, arsenals, and city gates. ”

That is to say, the number of guards and domestic slaves and servants who appeared in a manor that night may have reached a hundred, plus some village slaves of 200 and adult men. And the county commander Huang Heng should stay overnight that night. ”

"If Wang Yue is here, two or three hundred people should not be able to break the Tang family's manor." Uncle Seven reminded.

"Well, it's really fearless! No matter who wanted to move the Tang family, hundreds of people would definitely leak their whereabouts early. Hey, my Wei family is still too weak to protect the force, look at the Tang family, people have the confidence to be arrogant. ”

"Hall Master, in fact, you just need to make full use of your identity as the post supervisor to give Huang Heng a startling snake. Thinking about it, even if the Tang family has a backer, they don't dare to tear their faces and start a war with my Wei family. ”

"I'm afraid I'm afraid of a poisonous snake bite. In the past few days, you will tell the Tang family that you must find a way to find out whether Wang Yue is in Xiangling or not. If the Tang family deliberately leaked the news to attract my Wei family to assassinate me, I really want to do it. ”

The seventh uncle's originally calm face was shocked when he heard that Wei Xuan was going to make a plan: "Zhong Dao, don't be so reckless." You are a precious woman, and you must not be in such a hurry. Although the Tang family is hateful, my Wei family is not an ordinary family, as long as you think about it in the long run, you will definitely be able to think of a way. ”

When Wei Xuan saw Uncle Seven like this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Seven, I know that my life is more precious than them, and I won't fight with them." But you still have to get everyone ready, if there is no other order to come down, the day after tomorrow evening the small forest in the south of the city is on standby! ”

Seeing the hesitation on Uncle Seven's face, Wei Xuan was relieved: "Don't worry, knowing that there are so many of them, I won't let the Wei family go to the moth to put out the fire." Let them gather I have another arrangement. ”

The seventh uncle left with a solemn face, Guo Ye and the others quickly came in, and it turned out that the other two teams had also been contacted. In order to avoid too much movement, one or two people now come to Wei Xuan to listen to new instructions.

Early the next morning, several groups of people came to Wei Xuan, among which naturally people from Baihutang in Yang County, Huo County and other places came to Wei Xuan to report and receive the task. Wei Xuan's arrangements for them were similar to those discussed by Uncle Seven at that time. However, he sent a person to Anyi to deliver a message to Taishou Yinde.

Just last night, Wei Xuan reported what he had seen and heard in the past few days, as well as his worries and suggestions, to Taishou in letters. With Yang Feng's gang lurking around Xiangling, Wei Xuan naturally exaggerated the power of the Taiping Dao, in fact, it was not entirely exaggerated, because the power of the Xiangling Taiping Dao that he saw and heard was already very strong, and there was also hidden in Andy, historical experience told Wei Xuan that the Bai Bo Army would revolt in February and March next year, and it was unreasonable to say that he had not found any clues in the county for a few months as the governor of the northern post office.

Of course, when encountering Yang Feng and the plans of Yang Feng and others, it is natural that it cannot be said, and there is no definite evidence that Wei Xuan knows. can only vaguely tell Taishou Yinde that there are many believers in Taiping Road in the Xiangling area, the situation is worrying, and there may be weapons flowing out of Xiangling's arsenal, so please Taishou make preparations as soon as possible to strengthen the strength of the county soldiers.

Next, Wei Xuan listened carefully to Wang Qiang's report, and Wang Qiang's follow-up with Yang Feng and others was an eye-opener. It also further confirmed that Yang Feng and others planned to prepare to attack the Tang family in the near future. But thinking about it, it was just to deal with the Tang family's out-of-town manor and rob some food and money. It should not be time to really attack the county seat with county soldiers and government servants. After all, that's a real rebellion. The attitude of the rogue and the rebel army, the imperial court is completely different. If Yang Feng and the others robbed the Tang family's manor, Taishou Yinde knew that at most, he would order Huang Heng to investigate strictly, and if he couldn't, he would send a few officials to guide him. However, if the county seat of Xiangling is attacked, Yinde must immediately send county soldiers to quell the rebellion.

However, the information of Yang Feng and the others was obviously not as good as that of himself and the others and the White Tiger Hall who had stayed in Xiangling City for a long time.

So Wei Xuan called Wang Qiang to his side and whispered, and Wang Qiang was dumbfounded.

After a while, he muttered: "Childe, you let me take the initiative to expose it just to bring news for them?" ”

"Don't worry, with the events of the day, you just said that we came to Xiangling just to seek revenge. Occasionally, I learned about the Tang family's plan. You can suggest that they divide their soldiers into two ways, regardless of whether they are real or false, as long as they don't let the people in the Tang family's manor escape, they will definitely gain something. After the matter is completed, we will not rob them of the Tang family's food, we only need the enemy's life, and we can also bring something valuable as a coil. If they reply, you will come back immediately. ”

Wang Qiang walked out of the inn with a suspicious face, and led the horse to Xiangling City again.

Xiangling in winter is a bit cold, and the street is not very lively. It's not the actions of a dozen or dozens of people, but they still can't escape the eyes of the light heroes brought by Wei Xuan and the members of the White Tiger Hall who arrived one after another.

On the third day of Wei Xuan's arrival in Xiangling, it was also the day after the seventh uncle came to deliver the news, and just after that, the carriage of the county commander Huang Heng was surrounded by more than 20 officials and headed towards the Santaishan Manor of the Tang family in the southwest of the city.

Wei Xuan and others, who received the news, also went out of the city through three gates.

Half an hour later, everyone came to the south of the city, five miles south, and there was a small hillside, and there was a dense forest on the hillside that happened to hide the traces.

As soon as Wei Xuan sat down, Guo Ye, who had gone to follow the county commander Huang Heng's team, came back. He calmly jumped off the horse, saluted Wei Xuan with his back, and sat on the grass with a smile: "I saw the carriage enter the manor, and there seem to be many people coming out of the Tang family to greet him." However, the carriage went directly into the manor, and I didn't see Huang Heng get off. ”

"Then are you sure that the people of the Tang family have discovered you?"

"You should have seen that although I was standing far away, I didn't get off the horse. It's not hard to spot them as long as they use a snack. However, there are a few Taiping Dao people behind me, and they are well hidden. The people of the Tang family may not necessarily find out.

"Very good, you go to find those Taiping Dao people now and tell them about our existence, don't treat us as reinforcements from the Tang family at that time. This time, I can't let the people of the Tang family find out. ”

"Don't worry, as long as I don't want them to find out, I won't find out. What's more, outside the Tang family's manor, there are many trees along the way that can hide their tracks. With that, he turned on his horse and headed west.

After another cup of tea, the people who inquired about Gouzhuang in the east also returned. Du Chong's personality is more stable, he got off the horse and tied the horse to a tree, walked to Wei Xuan's side and bowed, and then said: "From the height, it seems that there are many more people in and out of the Tang family manor than yesterday, and the gate of the manor was closed half an hour ago. ”

"It's at least an hour before it gets dark, and it's really interesting to close the gate of the manor so early, but there are a lot of people inside." Wei Xuan listened to Du Chong's report and thought of Guo Ye's previous news, and felt that the Tang family was deliberately arranging a maze.

Soon Wang Kai, who was in charge of reconnaissance in the north, also returned, and the news brought was as expected, the Tang family's manor in the north of the city was very quiet, and the guards inside should have been withdrawn. Among the three manors of the Tang family, the manor in the north is the farthest and most remote from Xiangling City, and it was purchased by the Tang family from the county government after the fall of the Yang family.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan gave Wang Kai a new task, monitoring the road from Xiang Lingcheng's East Gate to the Tang Family Manor to see how many people were going to the Tang Family Manor during this period of time. If you want to come to Tang Ling's mother for her birthday, most of the Tang family in the city should go, at least every branch and every room will send a representative to go.

As night fell, Wang Qiang went and returned again, but the relaxed expression he had before was gone, and Wei Xuan asked curiously, "What happened?" ”

Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "Childe, why don't we cancel the operation this time?" ”

Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know what our action is, and if you find something, you will let us cancel the operation." ”

Wang Qiang still said with a solemn expression: "Yang Feng's kid has gathered at least five or six hundred people, most of them have weapons, I am worried that when the time comes, they will take the Tang family's manor, and I am worried that we will leak the news and clean us up together." We're only twenty people in total, and there's not enough for them to stuff their teeth. ”

"Then you know them

Are you planning to attack that manor? ”

"Their men are already in ambush in a small valley about three miles west of the Santai Mountains. I thought that I should have seen the carriage of the county commander Huang Heng enter the manor. ”

"You didn't tell them about the information we got?"

"I said it, but seeing is believing, what they have to deal with is the county commander Huang Heng, and the Tang family is secondary."

Wei Xuan thought to himself that since Yang Feng was able to live for so long as a general of the rebel army, and left his name in the history books, he was a descendant of the Yang family, and his mind should not be so simple.

After thinking about it, he stared at Wang Qiang's eyes and said: "You go to see Yang Feng immediately, you have to see him in person, and tell him that I am responsible for helping him stop the middle and not let the news pass between the two estates of the Tang family, but he had better send fifty or sixty people to watch the west first, and the rest of the people will storm Gouzhuang in the east, even if Huang Heng can't stay, let the Tongans have enough time to attack the west." ”
