Chapter 24: Taking advantage of the emptiness to seize the city
It was late at night, and the housekeeper Zhang Qiu woke up quietly. Thinking that he would be peeled and put into a pot after dawn, he would become a good meal in the thief's belly. He couldn't help but feel sad. He just had sex with the ninth concubine of the master's ninth room. Before he could enjoy it, he was going to die and go to the underworld. How could he be willing to let him be?
Zhang Qiu twisted his arm hard, but unexpectedly found that the bandits were not tied tightly. His struggle was actually loose. With this discovery, Zhang Qiu immediately became energetic, and a shattered sound sounded in the darkness. After a while, he really broke free from the shackles.
Zhang Qiu was overjoyed and tiptoed to the door and looked out through the crack of the door. He saw several bonfires lit up in the yard outside, dozens of thieves lying all over the ground, and two thieves were guarding the gate with steel knives. It was obviously impossible to escape from here.
Zhang Qiu turned his eyes and gently turned to the back of the wing room. He gently set up the window and made a crack. The west wing room was built next to the cliff, and behind it was a shallow cliff several meters high. I think there would be no thieves to guard it.
Zhang Qiu opened the window and looked down, and saw that it was pitch black and couldn't help but feel happy.
A moment later, a rope made of silk belt hangs down from the stretched window. Zhang Qiu's fat body climbed down the rope and struggled to the bottom of the cliff. When he was about to land, he fell into the air and fell a dog to eat shit. Zhang Qiu didn't dare to hum, but endured the pain and got up and ran away into the darkness.
As soon as Zhang Qiu escaped, Ma Yue, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao appeared in the west wing like a ghost.
Guan Hai asked in confusion: "Boqi, why did you let this guy go? What if he reported to the official army, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"
Ma Yuesen smiled and said, "I deliberately let this guy go and ask him to report to the official army."
Pei Yuanshao said: "Why is this?"
Ma Yue smiled sinisterly and said, "Do you remember what I said to deliberately scare that guy? He peeled him and cooked him in a pot and ate it. It was just enough for the brothers to have a full meal. As long as it was not a pig, he should be able to guess that our number would not exceed one hundred, and the number of officials and soldiers in Fuyang County is at least more than five hundred. If you are county magistrates of Fuyang County, would you do this after receiving this news?"
Guan Hai said: "That's all right. Of course, he led his troops to wipe out it out. This is a merit."
Ma Yue said: "That's the reason! After receiving the news, Fuyang County Magistrate bullied us at a small number of people and would definitely lead troops to attack."
Pei Yuanshao said: "We happened to fight the government army here."
Ma Yue said: "Yes, destroy this group of officials first, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the county town!"
Pei Yuanshao was surprised and said, "What, we still have to attack the county town? Just these more than 800 people?"
Pei Yuanshao was inevitably surprised. In the past, the Yellow Turbans attacked the city without tens of thousands of troops, he would never attack a county town with officers and soldiers, because the county town is not as good as a market town, and has city walls and moats. Although the moat is not wide and the city walls are not high, it is an insurmountable obstacle for the Yellow Turban thieves who lack the equipment for meritorious cities.
Ma Yue said: "There is no way to survive when wandering in the countryside. Only the county town has the weapons, armor, and enough food we need."
Guan Hai said in a sarcasm: "Bare him! I will gather my brothers together now."
"Don't worry," Ma Yuesenran said, "Fuyang County is 50 miles away, and it's more than a hundred miles away. It's going to be tomorrow afternoon when the government army arrives. Let the brothers have a good meal and a good rest, and have enough energy to fight the government army."
"yes!"
"Squeak."
The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure flashed, and Liu Yan, with a pretty face frosty face, walked in. Seeing that Liu Yan looked bad, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao stepped back tactfully. Guan Hai even brought the door with him, which showed that this rash man was actually a rough and delicate person.
Ma Yue glanced at Liu Yan lightly and asked, "It's so late, is there anything to ask me for?"
Can't you come to you if you have nothing to do? Liu Yanfang felt so sad, and she pouted and said, "Woman Guan Hai."
"Then you should go find Guan Hai."
"But you are the big leader."
"If you asked me for this, I know now."
After saying that, Ma Yue raised his foot and was about to leave.
Liu Yan's mouth turned, her eyes showed a grievance, and tears almost spilled out of the corners of her eyes. This dead man was really heartless. Since the reunion of Jingshan, he had never said a word to her. It was like she was a stranger. Is she really so annoying? How many times, Liu Yan looked at the flowery beauty reflected in the water, and more than once, wondered if Ma Yue had a problem with his vision. Is it only the sow that moved him?
"Wait... I'll look for you, there's something else."
Ma Yue sighed in his heart, his tone slowed down, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Zou wants to see you."
"Ms. Zou? Which Miss Zou?"
"It's the one who went up Jingshan with you."
"Well, her surname is Zou."
Ma Yue nodded, and then he remembered that he had never asked her name since he captured the little girl alive. After Jingshan and Guan Hai and others met, he was busy leading everyone out of the siege of the government army and almost forgot her.
"What's up?"
"You'll know when you go."
Liu Yan brought Ma Yue to the east wing room, where the candlelight was lit. Liu Yan gently pushed open the door and walked in first. Ma Yue had already stepped into the door halfway, but when he looked up, he was suddenly surprised and shrank back like an electric shock. In the swaying candlelight, the little girl's skinny hands and feet had been released, and she was sitting on the chair.
Ma Yue knew this little girl's stunning beauty. She was lucky enough to be able to capture her alive. If she did it again, Ma Yue believed that he would definitely die.
Liu Yan turned around, looked at Ma Yue in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ma Yue pointed at Zou Yuniang and asked, "You... why did you let go of her? She..."
Zou Yuniang snorted gently from her nostrils, but Liu Yan covered her mouth and smiled slightly, and said charmingly: "You are still the big leader, you are so brave. Don't worry, her acupoints have been controlled by me with silver needles. Although she can move freely, her strength is worse than a three-year-old child, and she will not hurt you."
Ma Yue was skeptical and said, "Is that true?"
Liu Yan said angrily: "Why am I going to lie to you?"
Ma Yue stepped into the east wing, but his legs were still standing in the T-shaped shape. Once he found that the situation was wrong, he could escape as quickly as possible. After all, this little girl was too dangerous, so be careful of everything.
"Miss Zou, right? What are you asking me for?"
Zou Yuniang glared at Ma Yue hatefully and asked, "You have been arresting me for several days. You have not killed me, and you have not let me go, what do you want? Could it be that I want you to follow you as a bandit?"
Ma Yue smiled faintly and asked, "Do you want me to let you go or kill you?"
Zou Yuniang said angrily: "Nonsense."
"I want me to let you go, right? Well, you will answer whatever I ask. If I let me know you are lying, hum, have you seen dozens of strong men outside the door? They have not touched women for a long time. If I reward you to them, I believe they will be very happy."
Zou Yuniang's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and she was already hating Ma Yue to death.
"Your surname is Zou, what's your name?"
"Yu Niang."
“How old?”
“Seventeen.”
"Is it promised that someone else didn't?"
“…”
"Is it promised that someone else didn't?"
"not yet."
"Where can you live in?"
"Yuyang County, Zoujia Village."
"Why did the volunteer soldiers in Yuyang County obey your condemnation?"
"Because my brother is the commander of Yuyang County and the commander of the volunteer soldiers."
"Your brother is the Yuyang County Captain? What's his name?"
"Zou Jing, whose name is Ziyu."
"Well, I get it."
After saying that, Ma Yue turned around and left. Zou Yuniang said anxiously: "Hey, you promised to let me go, and you don't keep your word."
Ma Yue grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said coldly: "When have you ever seen a bandit who keeps his word?"
...
In the eastern capital Luoyang, the lights are on, and the night is dim.
Although the Han Empire was already weak, Luoyang was still full of prosperity and prosperity. A prosperous city like Luoyang, where high-ranking officials and nobles gathered, naturally, brothels are indispensable.
At that time, prostitutes could be divided into two categories, one type of geisha, which is equivalent to the entertainment stars in the entertainment industry today, and the other type of erotic prostitutes, which is equivalent to the current prostitutes. The subdivision can be divided into five categories: palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, official prostitutes, home prostitutes and civil prostitutes.
"Red Building" is the most famous yard in Luoyang City. Most of the prostitutes here are well-educated, polite, and have both good colors and art. They are fascinated by many great officials and nobles in the capital. There is a lotus pond with vast smoke and waves on the backyard of the Red Building. There is a nine-curve backdrop to the rockery in the middle of the lake. There is a Jingshe Yaxuan built on the rockery.
A woman with a graceful figure and a jade-faced snow-covered dress walked through the Jiuqu corridor and entered the Jingshe Yaxuan.
Yaxuan is divided into two rooms inside and outside, separated by bead curtains in the middle. There is someone playing the piano by the window inside. You can vaguely see your beautiful figure. The sound of the piano is twisting thousands of times, like crying and complaining, as if it contains infinite thoughts.
