Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 89 The Black Fish Persuades Qi Niang
In fact, what Sheng Huaien and Li Dan can mobilize in their hands is really these five or six hundred people, which is almost exactly the same as what Lou Shifan guessed.
However, Nanshan began to plan repeatedly, on the one hand, he used to make and sell liquor to attract his attention, and on the other hand, he repeatedly deduced and carefully laid out, with illusions on the outside and defections and lurking on the inside.
Four big plays: plotting against Toad Pond, raiding Fengtou Bridge Fort, outwitting Tujiayuan, and finally forcing the West Battalion to land, a series of actions did not give Lou Shifan time and opportunity to ponder.
So that they were all tied up in the corner of the wing, and he still couldn't understand why he was defeated in a mess when he had three times his strength?
The sun hung high in the sky, and the guards "invited" him out of the house to say that the inspection order gave him a "release", saving him from the blood in his legs.
Lou Shifan squinted his eyes for a while, slowly moving his numb legs. He moved his neck, and felt a sore spot on the back of his neck (which fell when he was knocked unconscious by Jue).
Slowly, his eyes could see clearly, and he noticed that there were many people in the courtyard, coming out of the east school yard and lining up to walk outside the door. After looking closely, he suddenly understood that it was his subordinate.
Lou Shifan even saw a few familiar people, he called each other's names loudly, and they glanced at this side dejectedly and didn't say anything, and some people pretended not to hear.
Lou Shifan turned around in disappointment and saw that the guards were smiling, with a bit of disdain and sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, he saw two women standing at the door of the courtyard next door, and he immediately shouted, "Qi Niang!" Then he took two steps hard to that side, but there was also a rope on his ankle, so he only walked out two feet.
The guard immediately raised his sword and gun and shouted, "What? Back off! Let the wind go if you let it go, and think less about uselessness!"
At this time, the next door, Jin, was also looking at the prisoners lined up, and she clearly heard the shouting, but she sighed heavily, and said to the maid, "Go back, it's strange heat outside!" After saying that, he didn't look at this side, turned around and went into the house.
Lou Shifan wanted to lean over to talk to her and explain to her, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but get angry, scolded in his heart for "ruthless and unjust", and looked at the guard's firm eyes, so he had to reluctantly turn around and walk towards his door.
"What is he going to do here?" Sheng Huaien stood on the outer wall not far away and looked at this side, and asked with some puzzlement.
"Unwilling? Want to explain? Ashamed? Hehe, I think it's both." Li Dan crossed his arms to his chest, and said with mockery in his eyes, "But this third prince must not have figured out how he became a prisoner, do you believe it or not?"
"Well, one thousand five to four thousand five, Lao Sheng and I can't do it alone. It's still your brain!" Sheng Huaien held out his thumb.
Li Dan shook his head: "Where can I do this personally? It's clear that there are so many brothers working together.
Besides, the father and son of the Lou family are not big thieves, although they are from low backgrounds, they all have property in their families, it is not too much to say that they are medium-sized families, right?
If it was a rebellion of extreme poverty, it wouldn't be so grinding, and it would still be able to join hands with us to do business? That is, greedy people like Lou Thief, this trick may not work well if they change to others!"
"Then you must be able to come up with other tricks to toss them, I don't believe you have this one move." Sheng Huaien's words made Li Dan blink and look at him, and the two laughed at the same time.
"Don't toss white, don't toss, if I don't toss him, he will toss me." Fortunately, we have both light and dark preparations this time, otherwise it would be quite troublesome for this kid to really turn his face and arrest all of us!"
Li Dan paused after speaking, and then said, "When the letter of the flower arm is sent, Lou Thief is afraid that he will vomit blood in anger. But his attack on Rao's spiritual head is definitely not as strong as before.
Before he makes a decision, we have to add two herbs to him, one is to quickly defeat the enemy besieging Guangxin, and the other is Lou Er, who ambushes to reinforce him.
Mr. Qian, don't always say it, tell me your opinion. Which one will hit first?"
"Which one?" Sheng Huaien rolled his eyelids and repeated, "Oh, where is Lou Er now?"
"I should get off the boat in Dayuan today, so that I can go to Fengling Town tomorrow." Li Dan replied, "It's not far from Dayuan to Guangxin, and it's only eight or nine miles away."
"You still ask me? I see you have a claim in your heart!" Sheng Huaien glared at Li Dan, Li Dan didn't answer him, and just urged him to say it quickly with a smile.
Sheng Huaien had to grind his hands behind his back for a while, and slowly said, "Actually, there are few people in Guangxin, and I heard that Fengling Town was lost, and the people were panicked and the fighting spirit was not strong, so it was right to fight this soft persimmon.
But I'm worried that if I can't finish the fight, Lou Erdou will come up and get a front and back pinch, it won't be good." As he spoke, he looked around, and saw that they were all his own soldiers, so he whispered:
"There are a lot of troops on our side, and it is easy to fight with the wind, and the raw rice is unpalatable!"
Li Dan nodded lightly, and also lowered his voice and said, "So, if you want to solve Guangxin first, the essence is on the top of a 'fast word.' Go, fight, encircle, and turn back!"
"Hmm!" Sheng Huaien nodded at the soldiers below with his hand: "But there are still a lot of things to do here, what kind of quick method are you going to do?"
"That's a good thing to say! You forgot what we do, you want to have a carriage and horses! I have ordered that all the grain and baggage be transferred from Xishan and Nanshan to Tujiayuan."
Li Dan said: "If you want to say that the wall of the compound of Huajian is repaired, it is much better than the thin wall of our Xishan Camp.
Rest assured that the food and baggage are unloaded here, leave some people to take care of them, and as long as there is no general, the place will not be able to come in!
I transferred Second Master Zhu to be in charge of this place and sent all the prisoners to Xishan.
Leave a team of officers and soldiers, plus Tie Linglong's No. 1 Squadron and part of the suppression, continue to do the work of screening and disintegration, and then take them to take Liantang to Fengling Town, and then to Guangxin This official road that could not be completed due to the war before was prepared. What do you think?"
"I'm afraid that there is still a shortage of manpower, and Nanshan can't help but guard it.
In this way, I asked Lin Baihu to also make some efforts, at least put a team of officers and soldiers to guard Nanshan. Each squadron of the renewal brigade is now only more than two hundred, and it is best to expand to three hundred as soon as possible!"
After this fight, more than 3,000 prisoners were captured, so Sheng Huaien felt that the two hundred or so guards were a little insufficient.
"Okay, I agree, leave this matter to Sun She (Tie Linglong) and let him do it. I'll leave him with another hundred laborers to be armed to help." Li Dan nodded in agreement:
"For the rest, Second Master Zhu stayed, and the migrant workers left him three hundred to repair the walls and doors, as well as Li Biao's breeding team."
At the end of the battle, it was found that more than 60 horses and more than 40 donkeys and mules had been seized in the stables of the stockades.
"The rest of the team immediately set off for their respective attack positions after unloading the cart and changing horses, blocking Chow Tai Fook of Guangxin, and definitely not letting his people escape!"
Sheng Huaien admires this little brother very much, others are thinking about how to defeat the opponent in battle, but Li Dan said: "We must effectively annihilate the enemy's living force in order to achieve quantitative and qualitative changes in the enemy and me."
Is this kid really only fifteen years old? This ruthlessness and unique vision make goosebumps rise on people's backs, he is going to be fifty years old and pay it back!
But if you think about it, what Li Dan said and did seemed ordinary and natural, and there was nothing strange about it.
Originally, there was no equal number, that was to figure out how to kill more enemies to keep themselves alive, or to capture more prisoners for them to fight for themselves, and it was true that the number of people on their side seemed to have doubled.
Tsk, it's still not right, which officer and army general doesn't dare to have the confidence to say that he will be able to defeat three times the enemy next month, where does he get his confidence at a young age without being in a hurry?
Sheng Huaien couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to.
He watched Li Dan and Wu Mao, Master Ba, and Zhao Jingzi discuss properly, and then called for an order to assign the tasks to the commanders of each unit one by one, and proceeded in an orderly manner.
"Well, maybe that's talent, right?" He exclaimed in his heart. As he was pondering, he suddenly saw a man walk into the small courtyard where he was holding a piece of gold.
Hey, that's not ...... Is Zhou Qin Zhou Yingzheng? Sheng Huaien stroked his beard and turned his face thoughtfully to look at Li Dan, who was busy not far away.
"What are you doing here?"
The maid changed the medicine and was about to wrap it in a belt. Suddenly, the door opened, and she hurriedly pulled it
The clamp was covered by a Jin Xu Qi Niang. Xu Qiniang saw that it was Zhou Qin, and immediately pulled down her face.
"What a roar, old acquaintances are not outsiders." Zhou Qin pulled over a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed with a sloppy face, waved her hand and said to the maid:
"You go outside for a while, I have something to say to your master." The little girl glanced at Xu Qiniang's eyes, and then squatted down and went out.
"Who's an old acquaintance with you?" Xu Qiniang turned her face away.
Zhou Qin noticed her strange posture, lifted the quilt to look, and saw that her hand was covering the ointment, and the strap was still loose. He got up and sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned down.
"You're ......!" Xu Qiniang blushed and wanted to push him away.
"Don't move, I'll tie it up for you and get back to the chair." Zhou Qin whispered, her hand found the strap, circled it twice behind her and tied a knot.
The two almost crossed their sideburns, smelling each other's breath and heartbeat.
Xu Qiniang felt that she was trembling all over, her face was burning badly, and she didn't dare to pant when she turned her face, but the more she did this, the faster her heart beat faster, and her chest rose and fell violently.
"Alright." Zhou Qin pulled the quilt over and still covered her, sat back in the chair, and pulled the waist knife over and crossed her lap. "Well, I didn't expect you to be so badly injured, I'm sorry." He wiped his mustache and said.
"Hypothetical!" Xu Qiniang rolled her eyes and muttered.
"And who told you to give me a dart?" Zhou Qin opened the placket and let her see the wounded cloth.
"That's the ...... between the two armies."
"Okay, since it's the two armies facing each other, let's not blame each other, okay? One report and one report, it's over!"
As soon as Zhou Qin said this, the two of them didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"He said, 'To each his own lord, which one are you for?' Lou Zishi or flower arms?" Zhou Qin pretended to wipe her beard and suddenly muttered in a low voice.
"It's your business!" Xu Qiniang glared at him.
"You, you mother-in-law......!" Zhou Qin almost jumped up, but sat back again. "Anyway, it's not a good person, one doesn't care about you as a plaything at all, and the other only cares about his own ......life."
"If you talk any more nonsense, get out!" Xu Qiniang was angry: "You are also worthy of chewing your tongue here with my mother?"
"I'm not chewing the root of my tongue, Zhou Heiyu is not that kind of person!" Zhou Qin really jumped up now:
"You don't know, do you? You take the troops to Guangxin, and Lou has since turned his face and sent someone to Yongfeng to take the dead concubine from Zhixian to Shangrao, and now the two of them live in the garden and are happy!"
"Where did you know?" Xu Qiniang's face turned pale.
"We have spies too, and there are reports from people who have surrendered. If you don't believe it, I'll go back and find Jia Mingjiu, he knows it clearly!"
Speaking of Jia Mingjiu, Xu Qiniang knew that eighty percent was true.
In this camp, except for himself and Lou Shifan, if he can directly contact the people from the old camp, it belongs to Jia Mingjiu, and the letters sent by Lou Shifan and the letters from the old camp are all through him. "Why, even he has descended?"
"He's not surrendering, he's surrendering. Lou Shifan almost killed him, forcing him to run to our side." Zhou Qin looked at the woman's face and said:
"And that Lou Shifan, he promised to sacrifice you in exchange for us to let him go back." As he spoke, he pulled out a letter and folded the rest of the book, revealing only the part to her.
Xu Qiniang recognized some words, and could barely understand the notice, and saw that this was a letter written by Lou Shifan to his father, which read:
"The son has reached an agreement with the head of the regimental training, as long as the father sends the letter of resignation to Qi Niang, and the military rations are successfully delivered, the child can be released!"
"This one has no conscience!" Xu Qiniang was furious, and reached out to grab the letter but Zhou Qin dodged it. She couldn't support her arms, and as soon as she was weak, she sank down.
Zhou Qin hurriedly threw away the letter and hugged her, but Xu Qiniang opened her mouth and bit her arm. He was afraid of alarming the guards, so he couldn't help but make a sound, biting and biting, Xu Qiniang cried "whining".
Zhou Qin was a little busy, and hurriedly whispered, "Did it touch the injury, does it hurt?" Then, if you bite it, you may feel better."
unexpectedly
His words provoked Xu Qiniang to open her mouth, hugging his neck and crying loudly.
For a while, Zhou Qin couldn't sit down, and she couldn't stand up straight, so she had to hunch her back and hug her like this, holding her waist with one hand and gently patting her heart with the other, so she was not embarrassed.
Hearing the movement inside, the maids and guards all ran in, and they were all stunned when they saw the situation.
Zhou Qin looked back and was very angry: "Who told you to come in, get out!" The maid stuck out her tongue and ran away, and the guard slipped away with a smile.
After crying for a long time, Xu Qiniang was able to finish sobbing and venting. "Lean, let's lean." Zhou Qin said and helped her to lean lightly on the cushion, shook her hand and said, "You have internal injuries, don't you dare to cry like this again!"
"You didn't hit it yet? None of the stinky men are good!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Alas, if I had known you were like this, I would not have taken out the letter." Zhou Qin said as she picked up the letter and folded it into her arms:
"After all, this is someone's letter, it's not good to hold it, I have to find someone to send it." As he spoke, he patted the dust on it, and then looked at Xu Qiniang's blank and straight eyes, feeling a little flustered:
"Well, I said girl, you, you better say something. I still think you're better than you are."
Xu Qiniang couldn't cry or laugh: "How am I? What's good for me? The remnants of the flowers and willows were thrown aside after being folded by others, and now they are completely finished!
At the beginning, Master said: Don't look at this person doing this to you now, you will change your face faster than this in the future! I don't believe it, I don't think this can happen to me.
Besides, there was so much gold, and he said he would take it and take it out. How could he do this if he didn't have me in his heart? You know the story of the gold, right?
That's how he took me back to his house. Maybe I'll never meet someone like this again!" As he spoke, the tears couldn't stop falling, and he "whined" sadly.
"I said a golden girl, what are you crying for that old pervert? He has been coaxing you with money and power for so many years, should you still be heartbroken for him?" Zhou Qin said dissatisfied.
"I'm not crying for him, I'm crying for myself, I'm finished, no one wants it, how can I live in the future! Master, Master!"
Xu Qiniang thought of the master and brothers and sisters who didn't know where to wander now, and cried more and more sadly.
"How could no one want it?"
"Now I, I'm not even a willow, I'm just a discarded willow!"
"Who dares to say that? Whoever said that, I, Zhou Heiyu, crushed him first!" Zhou Qin roared.
Xu Qiniang was stunned, and looked at Zhou Qin with a sob: "You, surnamed Zhou, I cry myself, what do you have to do with it?"
"Uh......." Zhou Qin scratched the back of her head, carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a little embarrassment:
"I said sister, you blame me for this injury, I didn't say it! But we treat you as an opponent on the battlefield, one-on-one real swords, that's what you say, 'each for his own master, right?'
Do what you do, Lao Zhou has never done it, and he won't! Look at me, I am a slippery person on the battlefield, and that is to provoke Hua Arm.
Even if he knew your identity later, Lao Zhou didn't look down on you, let alone step on your feet.
The family surnamed Lou doesn't treat you as a person, my old Zhou is a man in the rivers and lakes, he is trustworthy and responsible, and he will never belittle you because of your past. That, that ......."
He didn't know what to say, but he stammered and couldn't think of words, and his head was sweating in a hurry.
"Y-What do you mean?" Xu Qiniang was also confused: "You, ...... are you?"
"Ahem, Qi Niang, let's say so!" Zhou Qin slapped her thigh, spread her hand and said loudly: "Zhou Heiyu is not the owner of the mine, he doesn't have a plate of gold at home, and some of them are a Rushui River.
The riverside is full of hometowns, and there are boats and brothers on the river. We don't have a mansion garden, and we don't have that fine skin and tender meat, but we can just fish and eat wine with heroes and heroes all over the world.
If you can see it, Blackfish's boat is your home, and Blackfish's brother will respect you as a sister-in-law. I'm ......, that's all I want to say!"
"But, but ......." Xu Qiniang blushed on the ground, she didn't expect this black man to say this in front of her, she was suddenly flustered, and her eyes didn't know where to look.
"But I came from a humble background and married ....... A good man like you, what innocent little lady wouldn't fall in love with it, so why ......?"
As he spoke, he bit his lip and said nothing, and two teardrops fell on the quilt. She didn't want to be small anymore, she was really scared. Or, or go to the Master?
As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly felt that one of her hands was being placed in a hot pot, and it was Zhou Qin who put her hand in her big palm.
"Sister, don't worry, don't worry about anything! Zhou Heiyu has no family yet, you will be a big lady when you come, and you are the female shopkeeper of this Rushui!
All the sects, boatmen, and guilds on the river are all dissatisfied with our orders, and it is better to be small for the old thief!
He doesn't want you, I have Zhou Heiyu in his pocket, and in the future, we will laugh and see how he is defeated. It's what Li Saburo said, 'Whoever has the last laugh is the one who laughs the best!'"
"You, let it go!" Xu Qiniang withdrew her hand in disgust, thought about it and sighed and said:
"I have nowhere to go anyway, even if I slip back to Master, I'm ashamed, it's better not to go back!
Go to Fuzhou with you, and stay away from this place. It's just a big lady, I'm a lowly person, how can I have that blessing?"
"Why not? Why do you keep saying you're low?" Zhou Qin smacked her lips and said:
"Wu Maocai said, Liang Hongyu of the former dynasty is a singer of the Red Mansion, so can someone still do an edict, who is worse than whom?
Also, Inspector Li also said that in ancient times, Mulan was in the army, and there was the Heavenly Empress, and your little thing is nothing at all."
"Inspector Li, that Li Sanlang?" Xu Qiniang asked in surprise, "Have you ever talked to him about me?"
"Hey, hey." Zhou Qin smiled embarrassedly: "If he hadn't pierced it, I wouldn't have dared to have such thoughts." He pointed to his bosom:
"He hath shown me this letter, otherwise how could it have come into my hand?
San Lang said that if you are handed over to the government, you will die a miserable death as a family member of an anti-thief. But he pity you and is also from a bitter background, and he was led astray by Na Lou from time to time.
If you take the opportunity to break off with their Lou family at this time, you can at least save your life and not make a ...... Funeral goods."
"I see." Xu Qiniang stopped, lay on the edge of the bed and bowed: "Concubine thank you for the life-saving grace of Inspector Li! If you can't repay it in this life, your children and grandchildren should pay it back!" As he spoke, he brought out his crying.
Zhou Qin hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, helped her up and still lay down, and then said:
"Li Sanlang has already instructed Mr. Wu Maocai to come and see your illness, and he is sending someone to find an old doctor, and I will let Brother Maocai come to check your pulse later.
When you can leave, I will send you to Geyang first, where it is safer than Shangrao. When I return to Geyang, we'll see you again!"
Xu Qiniang nodded, and suddenly wanted to say something but didn't say anything, Zhou Qin asked what's wrong, she shyly pulled the corner of the quilt and hid inside and refused to come out.
Zhou Qin laughed: "I know, you are afraid, fortunately you didn't gelding me that day, right?"
Xu Qiniang didn't answer, but her body was laughing and shaking in the quilt.
The person sent by Lou Zishi to contain Guangxin is called Chow Tai Fook, yes, this is the name, but he has nothing to do with jewelry, and he is from a poor background.
My grandfather's generation accidentally went to the wrong side in the war, and after the defeat, they were deprived of their positions in 100 households, and they were thrown into the mountains to mine for 15 years before being released back to their hometown.
relied on doing odd jobs for others, and finally got along with a widow, and the two got together. tenant more than a dozen acres of land, and later had a pair of children.
Chow Tai Fook had never seen silver since he was a child, and he only heard the old man recall that he made 100 households in the past, and the monthly salary was ten stone rice and one tael of small silver bills and one ingot.
When he grew up a little, he realized what a prosperous life it meant, so he didn't think about why his grandfather was on the wrong side later, but thought that the current court was the source of his family's poverty.
When Lou's team was revealed
At the beginning, he didn't think about it.
Now he was quite satisfied, the rice had been eaten, the gold and silver were in the chests, the good horses were riding, the good women were asleep, the silk satin was sitting, and the armchairs were seated with the fragrance of the scent.
There are thousands of soldiers in the camp for their own drive, and the flagpole is written high with the four big characters of "Linchuan Captain", which is Lou Shuai's own handwriting!
Linchuan, the first town he led people to slaughter at that time, who told them to dare to resist the rebels?
But everything changed by this morning. In the afternoon, the soldiers who fled back from Fengling Town one after another brought the news that Fengling had been lost, and that the three young marshals and the first Jin Du had become more and more auspicious, which immediately caused panic in the camp.
Leaders and sentinels from all walks of life came to ask him for advice, and Chow Tai Fook, who was caught off guard, was disturbed.
"Grandma, don't make any noise!" He scolded angrily: "A group of unsuccessful bastards, they all panicked like this before they figured it out, and Lao Tzu's head is big!"
Seeing that everyone was quiet, he thought about it carefully, and first sent a sentry to the direction of Fengling Town to investigate, to see if he could inquire about the whereabouts of the three young marshals, and if he could find the people who were scattered, he would lead them here.
As soon as the assignment was finished, one of the leaders suddenly remembered, "By the way, didn't the patrol say that after noon, the fleet of the Second Heavenly King passed over the water of the Chuxi River? Shouldn't you send someone to send him a message?"
"Well, that's how it should." Zhou Taifu nodded: "When the sentinel comes back and gets accurate news, let's send someone to ride a horse to Dayuan to report the news, and ask the Second Heavenly King to hurry up and move closer to us."
"Captain, let's send someone now." The leader whispered, "Although the sentry is riding a mule and horse, it will not be heard until dark when he comes and goes, and I am afraid that it will be a little late to find the Second Heavenly King overnight."
"You can afford to look down on the officers and soldiers!" Chow Tai Fook was very unhappy: "Take the official road from here to Fengling Town, even if we have to take half a day, will the official army fly?
Look at you all scared, as if you are about to die. Get out of here! When you are Lao Tzu, this captain eats rice? Get out!"
"Report!" A pro-soldier rushed into the house (Chow Tai Fook occupied the home of the shopkeeper of a local restaurant).
"What's the matter?"
"The sentry has returned, bringing Dou Ziwan, the head of the sentry under the command of the third young marshal, and twenty or thirty brothers who have been scattered."
"Oh? Let that sentry always come to me!" Chow Tai Fook was so precious that he couldn't wait to step out of the house and wait under the porch.
After a while, I saw the soldiers and sentry enter the courtyard, followed by a man in his thirties.
The sentry saluted first, and reported that he had met Dou Ziwan's gang when he walked to the cold water pond, and brought them back directly.
"Lao Wan, why are you just a few of you, and the others? Hurry up and tell me, what happened in Fengling Town? What about the three young marshals and the first Jin?"
Before Zhou Taifu could speak, these people under his hands were already asking nonsense, which made him feel a burst of light.
