Chapter 362: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Sun Jian and Yao Luo actually did not leave Jingzhou completely, they fled to Nanyang and Yuan Shu's territory.
Along the way, Sun Jian also figured out how Yao Luo led two thousand soldiers and horses to appear in Xiangyang quietly.
"Brother Yao, this army is a simple scout, right?"
After going deep into Nanyang for an unknown number of days, Sun Jian finally couldn't help but ask.
The march in the past few days has made Sun Jian almost unconscious of time, upside down and chaotic, completely chaotic.
A few days ago, they led the leading force of 300 people, divided into more than ten batches, and pretended to be homeless people and entered Wuyin in a scattered manner. happened to meet the local government forcibly conscripting the people and building a mansion for the ninth concubine of the county commander Zhang Sheng.
They were the favorite of the local government, so it was not surprising that they were forcibly conscripted.
Sun Jian, as a dignified Yuzhou assassin, is now a wood-cutting laborer.
And it's been beaten for a long time.
Now it had reached the point where even if he coughed slightly, the official in charge would wave his whip.
He really couldn't take it anymore.
"Why would Brother Sun ask that?" Yao Luo was working hard to planing wood, he and Sun Jian were partners, and while covering up for Sun Jian, he took the time to say, "Big brother, if you don't work hard, when those few officials come over, you will have to beat you again." â
"I'm a little beaten, I just want to know Brother Yao, you waste time like this, will you really not delay things?" Sun Jian asked angrily, how many days have they been, they are still staying in Wuyin, and now they have even built a house for the concubine of the county order.
It just doesn't make sense!
"Don't delay, sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter." Yao Luo's work was very hard and very careful, and he didn't even stop when he spoke, "The reason why Yuan Shu is guarding Nanyang is that he has a fancy to the millions of people in Nanyang, and the small county of Wuyin has a population of hundreds of thousands, what a terrifying population, more than any county in Guanzhong." â
"It's good to have such a large population, but ...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we're going to do, right? Sun Jian said speechlessly.
Along the way, he can be regarded as figuring out the bizarre march of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
They were moved in the form of strongholds.
It may be a county, or it may be a wealthy gentry, a bandit, and so on.
They occupied it in all sorts of strange ways, and then dispersed into dozens of troops, transported weapons and armor overnight, and then changed identities to move on to the next place.
That is to say, the army of the imperial court is really well-trained, if you change to someone else, use this way of cat to move the march, and wait until the place, it is great luck to be left with three melons and two dates.
Sun Jian wanted to steal the teacher and follow suit at first, but after experiencing it himself, he gave up decisively.
He really can't learn this.
He only has envy, and if he doesn't play well, it's easy to get rid of it.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court really played the game of eating the enemy to the level of refinement.
Along the way, they didn't know what it was like to transport grain and grass.
"There are many benefits to being a bandit who serves the people!" Yao Luo suddenly said inexplicably.
Sun Jian stopped playing tricks, got up and grabbed the wood as thick as him, and said, "So we're going to be bandits next?" â
After so many days, they don't know how many identities they have changed, Sun Jian has long been used to it.
Yao Luo glanced at the Xu officials who were patrolling not far away, and said: "There are not many soldiers in the Wuyin County Yali, but there are only one hundred and ten Xu officials, but there are many parts in the dock fort of this Zhang County Order, we still need to observe for a few more days to determine the specific number of troops, and whether there are still people in the hands of those captains and pavilion chiefs below." Also, wait for the follow-up manpower. â
"No need to observe anymore, there are 1,200 people in the hands of this county commander, and there are still some people in the hands of those captains and pavilion chiefs, but there are not many, and the total number of zeros and zeros adds up to 2,000 people." Sun Jian said.
Yao Luo looked at Sun Jian in surprise, "How do you know so clearly?" â
Sun Jian's eyelids drooped, he didn't really want to answer this question.
"I overheard it while I was beaten!" Sun Jian said in a reluctant muffled voice, "Yuan Shu gathered generals in Wancheng and ordered each county to send at least five hundred troops. When I was beaten yesterday, I overheard them discussing that the county order was preparing to send a thousand troops, and they would set off in a few days. â
Yao Luo looked at Sun Jian fixedly, and couldn't help but smile, "It turns out that there is still this benefit in being beaten!" â
Sun Jian: ......
"You can get around me now. Yuan Shu gathered troops in Wancheng, this is not a trivial matter, you don't have any plans? Sun Jian said depressedly, after this trip, his Sun Poyu's reputation was almost ruined.
And he was quite displeased with this guy who spoke straightforwardly, sometimes with little words, sometimes with a lot of words, as if he was completely contradictory. If he had the chance, he would have wanted to beat Yao Luo up.
Hit a half-dead kind of beating!
Yao Luo carefully polished the wooden thorns he had just dug out, and said, "Yuan Shu gathers troops, what can we plan?" He's certainly not here to hit us. â
Sun Jian's eyelids drooped again, and he said quietly: "But he may attack Yuzhou!" â
"It's okay, in Yuzhou under your rule, Your Majesty is not very satisfied." Yao Luo said lightly.
Sun Jian: ......
"Your Majesty is not satisfied with my governance of the place, and I can understand it. But no matter how bad my governance is, it should be different from Yuan Shu's attack, right? Sun Jian wanted to scold his mother and greet Yao Luo's lovely ancestors.
Yao Luo blew the sawdust and patted the wood with great satisfaction, "Actually, you really don't have to worry about Yuan Shu attacking Yuzhou, this cold winter is in the moon, the grain and grass are inconvenient, and it is impossible for the soldiers to go to war hungry." Even if Yuan Shu is so bastard that he doesn't know about this matter at all, there are people under him who understand. â
"We've only just given the order to gather troops, and we still have absolutely plenty of time."
ććäžææè”·ćšć„œçæšæ€œïŒç ć°äșäžæă
Then he pulled over another one that had not been processed, threw it at Yao Luo's feet, patted the soil on his hands, and said: "I believe you, but if something goes wrong in Yuzhou, Your Majesty will condemn you, you will carry the big one, and I will carry the small one." â
"Anyway, even if I'm in a hurry now, you divided my subordinates into dozens or hundreds of shares scattered in Nanyang, and I couldn't gather them for a while, and this matter is also because of you, don't blame me."
"Okay, that's it." Yao Luo said indifferently: "If there is no me, you seem to have been buried in Da Xian Mountain." â
"I'm thinking about your life-saving grace, but don't keep talking about it." Sun Jian said helplessly.
This rising star of the imperial court specifies that there is something wrong.
"Be serious, the guy surnamed Zhang is here." Yao Luo glanced at the distance and suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Sun Jian immediately leaned over, pretending to process the bark, while looking at the group of people coming from a distance.
"The one surnamed Zhang looks crooked and cracked, and his concubine is not bad. Does Brother Yao want a concubine? You want me to pick it up for you. Sun Jian fell in love with the woman who was particularly abrupt and glamorous in a group of men at a glance.
Yao Luo just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and said flatly: "I don't like married women!" â
"With a graceful demeanor, always smiling, and soft-spoken, this woman must be of high birth." Sun Jian looked at it almost openly, while commenting, "You don't even want such a woman?" â
"I'll take a closer look before I decide!" Yao Luo said.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation was not very good at this time, otherwise Sun Jian would have laughed a few times unbridledly.
Also reserved!
Look at the woman's face and the bulging clothes, and there is no need to hesitate any longer.
Not to mention that the woman is a gentle lady at first glance, which is even more rare.
Zhang Sheng and his ninth concubine seemed to have come to check the progress of the construction of the mansion, and the group walked over to this side with a smile and a smile, Sun Jian glanced around, and picked up the rusty short axe that he threw aside.
Yao Luo saw that not only did he not say anything, but instead tore a piece of cloth from the placket of his clothes and wrapped his hand and axe tightly together.
"You ......" Sun Jian was a little surprised.
"I'm going to observe for a few more days, just because this guy won't be here." Yao Luo said.
Sun Jian nodded, "That's right, I don't need to bother anymore." â
He hid the axe in his arms, and after Zhang Sheng walked over with someone, he suddenly stumbled over.
âćżć°é„¶ćœćïŒæèæŻć «ćæć ïŒæćäžćć»ć„čäžćźäŒé„żæ»çćâŠâŠâćć性棰ććçïŒè·ȘćšäșćŒ ćçäžèżć€ïŒèżèżçŁć€Žă
At this scene, Yao Luo's expression suddenly seemed to be constipated.
Zhang Sheng's face was a little ugly, he glared at the middle-aged man who was following him, and said loudly: "You get up first!" â
"This official just wants to give a livelihood to the people who come from the north and have no food and clothing, it seems that the people below have misunderstood your identity, why don't you get up first, and then I will order someone to send you home?"
Sun Jian wiped his tears and stood up with a somewhat difficult posture, "Zhang Xianzun is really a good official." â
As he spoke, he slowly took a step forward and approached Zhang Sheng again.
"What do you do? Get out of the way! A Xu official stopped Sun Jian very rudely.
Zhang Sheng's face suddenly had a murderous aura, "You get out of the way!" â
"Come, come and talk to me!" He smiled again and beckoned to Sun Jian and said.
Sun Jian bent over very carefully and said with a smile, "The villain just wants to thank the county honor, and then, ...... Hack him to death! â
After speaking, Sun Jian's momentum suddenly changed.
An axe that was hidden in his arms was drawn, and an arrow stepped forward and slashed at Zhang Sheng's head.
"Dog officer, have you heard a word, the husband is angry, and blood is splashed three feet?" Sun Jian kicked away Zhang Sheng, who fell to the ground, and grabbed the middle-aged scribe next to Zhang Sheng with his backhand, "Are you right?" â
The middle-aged scribe who was about to give the order was so frightened that his face turned white, "Yes, yes, what the righteous man said is right!" â
Sun Jian laughed.
At this time, Yao Luo also walked out of a pile of wood with an axe, and shouted in his mouth, "Sun Tianwang is here, and those who descend will not be killed!" â
"And the same party?!" The middle-aged scribe suddenly let out a shout.
"What the fuck do you want to kill back?" Sun Jian was furious and cut it out with an axe.
