Chapter Eighty-Five: Internal Response

Squadrons of Xianbei cavalry spurred their horses, and the hooves of the healthy horses trampled over the sparse mud that had been soaked in heavy rain overnight between the street wells, splashing a cloud of mud. These cavalrymen rushed open the doors of the houses along the street, and shouted viciously, and the cries of the people spread throughout the city of Suchang.

This was not a city-wide search of the fine work, but an operation to loot the rations of the people. The siege of the city is in danger, seeing that it must be a difficult time, this long-distance rush to help, and the defeat of the Huangxu army, in a hurry in Dongping to defend it, the army has not much food and grass. The soldiers of the Yan State have no intention of governing and supporting the people, since they are short of food and grass, they take it from the people in the city, they are really hungry and can't fight, so they even eat people, what is it to rob them of some food!

Most of the people know that these wolf-like knights of the Yan Kingdom, even if they are unwilling, they can only cry in vain, the tip of the knife is in front of them, the slightest disobedience is to cut off the head, although the wealth and food cannot be saved, and they have taken their own lives, who will touch this moldy head?

Fortunately, these Yan cavalry were ordered, and their minds were only on food, and they didn't take advantage of the situation to do some ** burning and killing beasts, and under the big noise, they only killed a dozen widows and stupid women who were stupid and gave up their lives and food, which can be regarded as an extremely merciful robbery.

So when several Yan cavalry rushed to the door of a butcher shop with a face number under the leadership of the uncle, the butcher shop opened first.

A chubby middle-aged man greeted him with a smile, and kept bending down and spreading his hands to the chief and several cavalrymen with humble etiquette, looking extremely deferential.

"Domo, we are Domo, my warriors. "Duo Mo is the meaning of friend in Yan Guoxianbei's language, the fat man said with a smile, and flattered Lu came up and grabbed the reins of the uncle's horse.

At this moment, looking at this fat man, although he smiled so flatteringly, and his body was round and fat, his broad shoulders and strong limbs obviously showed that this was a powerful man. So he waved his hand and asked the cavalry behind him to stop together, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"The general's order! Collect the grain of the whole city, and arrange it by the general! You, hand over the grain, if you don't obey, you will chop!" The chief made a gesture of chopping at Lu, his Chinese is quite fluent, but the last two words are said in Xianbei language, which means --- death.

The fat man nodded vigorously: "The warriors want to protect us, hungry, hungry, can't eat enough, can't beat those southern dreadlocks, want food, it should be, don't worry about my warriors, the villains are ready for the warriors." As he spoke, he gestured to the door, and then heard the sound of promise coming from the door, and several sturdy young men walked out with whole pigs and sheep that had been peeled off.

"The villain Yan Oyster is the little shopkeeper of the Yan family's meat number, and he has always admired the warriors of my Dayan Kingdom, and he does not dare to hide his secrets, and he is willing to give all the trumpets to the warriors. The fat man's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

Fresh meat, the chief looked at the pigs and sheep piled up in one place, put them in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, whistled, and dismounted with several cavalrymen behind him.

"Pigs and sheep, good. But there is also food, and the general's order is all the food in the city. Although his tone was stiff, the uncle's expression was obviously much softened, and several cavalrymen behind him had already laughed.

"Food, there is food, warriors rest assured. Yan Oyster agreed repeatedly, and urged the young guys: "Come in and get it!"

As he spoke, a few more men shouted and dragged a whole cow out with great difficulty, and saw that the blood stains on the disembowelment of the cow had not dried, and it was obvious that it had just been slaughtered.

"Warriors, only by eating meat can they have strength, and the villain slaughtered all the pigs, cattle and sheep cleanly, which is for the warriors to enjoy. Yan Oyster stammered and smiled, watching the young man keep sending out the sack containing the rice, and made another gesture, and a lean scribe with a mustache came with a smile, holding a tray in his hand, but in the tray was a brown wine bag.

"My warrior, this is the villain's own wine, please try it. Before Yan Oy's words fell, the lean scribe immediately presented the wine bag in front of the uncle.

Bo Chang glanced at Yan Oyster and the lean scribe, and saw that the sack containing grain was piling up more and more, and was sure that this was just a merchant who was currying favor with himself in order to protect himself, so he took the wine bag in his hand, Xianbei people are good wine, this wine bag has not been opened, and the aroma of wine has already overflowed from the bag, where can you still bear it? Biting the plug, Dong Dong Dong poured half a bag in one go.

Sweet and mellow, it is really an endless aftertaste, the chief wiped his mouth, and finally showed a smile on his face: "Good wine! How many more?

"Of course, my warrior, such a fine wine should be given to you. Yan Oyster smiled and bowed again, and then lowered his voice: "However, there are a few urns of fine wine that will take a few more days to be brewed, once it is brewed, how about the villain personally send it to the warriors? Moreover, it is not impossible for the warriors to take away the rest of the wine today, but this time, even if it is the income collected by the warriors, won't they have to distribute it to other warriors when they go back? In this way, how much is left in the hands of the warriors? Why don't the villains send it to the warriors on a daily basis?"

Thinking thoughtfully, the chief nodded approvingly, and patted Yan Oyster's fat shoulder: "Excellent, excellent, you are my Domo, just do as you say." So what do you need me to reciprocate?" Uncle is not a fool, the other party must have asked for something to please him like this, and it is time for him to say it.

"Oh, it's an honor for a villain to serve the warriors, what is the reward to talk about?" Yan Hao smiled while blinking pitifully, and his tone changed: "But I do have something to beg my warrior for a favor...... This, the warriors, you have also seen, the villain's family has a large population, and all the food is dedicated to the warriors, how can the villain's family of dozens live, please make it convenient, let the villain leave some surplus food for his livelihood, that is, grateful. ”

The uncle showed an unexpected smile: "What are you afraid of, the general collects the grain, and it is not a ration that is not worthy of filling your stomach, can it really make you starve to death? Besides, this is the general's military order, how dare I disobey my little centurion?" Seeing that Yan Oyster's face changed, the uncle pretended to sigh: "Forget it, who made us Domo? I will take the risk for you, you can keep a little in your own house, originally we were going to enter your house to search, but now this is also exempt!"

Yan Hao bent his waist deeply in gratitude, and it was difficult enough for his fat body: "The kindness of the warrior, the villain's whole family will never forget." Then he seemed to be very excited to hold the uncle's hands, the uncle's heart moved, only to feel that something hard stuffed into his hand, and looked down to see that it was a yellow and clear gold bill, when doing this, the lean scribe on that side turned sideways, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the sight of those cavalrymen.

The Han people who are meticulous in their actions know that it is best not to be seen by others when they give me gold. The chief was very happy, a windfall that was not expensed, quietly put the gold in his arms, and then as if nothing had happened, he pointed his finger on Yan Oyster's chest: "Remember the wine you said." ”

Yan Oyster was almost a little ecstatic: "Don't worry, I will never forget, it's just ...... I wonder where the warriors are encamped?"

"The fifth battalion of the Flying Fangs is stationed in the east of the city, and if someone interrogates you, you will say that you are doing things for the Flying Fangs. The chief also handed Yan Oyster a wooden military card, "As long as you take this military card, come to me when you get to the place, my name is Ashinador." Then, the chief waved his hand and shouted to the cavalry behind him who had drunk all the wine bags: "Call someone, there is meat and food here, and a few of us can't take this much!" and told Yan Oyster again: "Then I will wait for the wine you send." ”

"Just these days, Domo. Yan Hao smiled and bowed in agreement.

※※※

Seeing the chief Ashinador and the group of cavalry who shouted, he hurriedly loaded the peeled meat and dozens of bags of grain onto the horse, and then whistled away with satisfaction, Yan Oyster turned around, smiled, and motioned for the young men to close the door of the shop, and he and the lean scribe went straight into the inner room.

There were several figures sitting around the inner room, and only after seeing Yan Oyster walk in, those people withdrew the long sword in their hands from its scabbard.

"You're a big. A slender figure among the people sitting around said, it was Han Li, who was the Thunder Shocking Falcon.

"Wouldn't it be worse to let them break in?" Yan Yu chuckled, and the lean scribe waved to a few people, and sat down separately, "Let's continue." ”

Han Li and Mo Yumei and his party sneaked into Xuchang City last night when the rainstorm and thunder were at their peak, the scene of lightning and thunder and the superb light skills of the swordsmen of the Gongfu were undoubtedly the best excuse for successful infiltration, and no one found the six figures who entered the Yan family's meat at that time.

Yan Oyster is named the butcher of Xuchang City, and his family is quite wealthy, but he is the leader of the rebel army in this area, gathering more than 100 heroes, and has always done some things to rob houses and houses, especially under the rule of Donghu Yanguo, this move and the intention of Wang Shi's Northern Expedition also have something in common, so when Han left to investigate this area to prepare for the Northern Expedition, he got in touch with him. This time he infiltrated Xuchang City, and it was precisely with this Yan family meat number as a foothold.

"The biggest problem now is manpower, Lord Huan wants us to cooperate with the outside world, but this matter is difficult to do without thousands of people, but I only have more than a hundred people, at most I can only use it for raiding and harassing. Yan Oyster went straight to the point, "However, if you behead the enemy's head and take the life of its master, it is not impossible. ”

Hearing this, Mo Yumei's eyes lit up, even though she forcibly suppressed her anger, but she herself knew how eager she was to hope that the enemy would be killed, if this trip could be consistent with her personal vendetta purpose, it would be perfect, so she straightened up and quietly listened to Yan Oy.

"If you can really kill the head of the enemy, it will be a good strategy, so that the defenders in this city will not fight and chaos because of the death of the main general, but what is Brother Yan going to do?" Although Han Li agreed, he also knew that assassination would never be so simple, their nine great swordsmen had already tried it, not to mention Murong Li's own strong sword skills, what was even more terrifying was the protection of those ghosts and spirits, but he didn't plan to talk to Yan Haoming now, and listen to his plan.

"King Xiapi of Donghu occupies the mansion of the Tian clan in the city as a line, I used to have a lot of intersection with the Natian clan, and I know a little bit about the general situation of his mansion, but if we want to kill the king of Pi, we have to understand it in more detail. Once the details are discovered, Lord Huan besieges the city outside, and we protrude inside, sneak into its line, and behead it in one fell swoop. ”

"It's not that simple. The blood-sucking Heavenly Eagle Chaojiehao, who was listening, frowned, "At that time, the Tian family's mansion was also gone, but at this moment, it has been used as the king of Xiapi, and there are at least a thousand guards and guards, and this city is now full of Donghu soldiers, didn't the whole city be noisy just now? Although we are all people with light merit, but in such a situation, it is difficult, and it is not covered by rainstorms and thunder and lightning every day. ”

Chao Jiehao is telling the truth, it is said that such as Mei Yu Lonely Goose, Soul Snatcher Pheasant and others are first-class light skills, if you want to go to the main general to investigate this is also a breeze, but this city is full of Donghu army, but how can they get rid of their eyes? At this time and that time, last night was able to sneak in, in addition to the torrential rain and thunder and lightning, it was also the first arrival of the Yan army, and the defense was not stable, but now that the military situation has been decided, the patrol army will inevitably be greatly strengthened, and at this time when the war is urgent, it must also lock the streets and alleys, how can it still advance and retreat freely? This is also the reason why Chaojiehao is worried.

Yan Hao glanced at the thin scribe beside him, and smiled very easily: "I have been prepared for this section. You have all heard what I said to Uncle Nadong just now, and with the reason of giving wine, we can walk the streets and alleys openly, even if we go into their barracks to investigate, it will not be difficult. As he spoke, Yan Oyster tossed the wooden military badge in his hand, with a smug face.

Han is away from the secret jaw, this Yan Oyster is really far away, and the previous time and the uncle were pretentious, it was not purely a self-preservation strategy, but it had been secretly set up on this line, so it seems that in the name of sending wine, it can be grandly walked in Xumei City, and then the main general will be close to the main general to investigate and explore, and the problem will be solved.

Chaojiehao suddenly realized, couldn't help clapping his palms, and smiled: "With you, Lord Yan Yi! In this case, without further ado, we will act as the shopkeepers of Yan Yizhu, send the wine over, and at the same time go to the line to explore. ”

Yan Hao smiled and waved his hand: "This matter is not for your lords, although you are very skilled, you are not familiar with the path in my Xumei City, but you can't run into it indiscriminately, but provoke the suspicion of the Donghu barbarians." I have a senior brother who is skilled in martial arts, and he is also familiar with the path in the city. As he spoke, his voice was high, and he shouted outside the door: "Senior brother, let's come in, but you've been waiting for a long time." ”

As soon as Han Qian moved, he saw the door of the room gently pushed, and a thin figure flashed in, and he couldn't hear a trace of footsteps at all. ”
