Chapter 81: The Eve of the Battle

('Hu Shuanzhu, the man who blinded Zou Feng's dog's eye with an arrow, was taking a day off today and went out to drink with two other brothers from the military camp.

In the tavern, the three of them ordered a few hard dishes, including peanuts, fried garlic, cucumbers and so on. They also ordered two jars of wine, and while they were drinking, they were blowing and chopping.

Because he was wearing guard uniform, no one dared to go over and strike up a conversation. [Search for the latest updates at z

At the table next to them, there were four men sitting. These four were also eating and drinking. Perhaps because they were enjoying themselves, one of the men looked at Hu Shuanzhu's table and said loudly: "Master Jun, I heard that you are at the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.

A lot of treasures were dug out, is this true or false?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other guests in the tavern immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what the guards had to say. These days, everyone has been speculating on what exactly was dug up in the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall, but no one knows the details.

.

The ancestral hall was surrounded by layers of officers and soldiers, and the outermost ones were those patrolling the Yamen. Even these people didn't know what was going on inside, and they just prohibited other people from approaching.

The guards inside occasionally went out to eat and drink, but whenever anyone asked them about this topic, the guards would immediately glare.

Hu Shuanzhu and the other three seemed to have good tempers. One of the guards just shouted: "If you shouldn't pry, don't pry blindly. The gold dug out is not yours."

This guy seemed to have drank a lot, and the word "gold" came out of his mouth smoothly.

"What gold? Where is the gold? Don't listen to his nonsense, there is no gold dug out at all!" Hu Shuanzhu pinched the guard and glared at him.

This move was clearly visible to everyone in the tavern.

"You pinch me, it's gold! Yesterday, Li Dachong and the four of them moved a box, and they stumbled while moving. As a result, Zhao Xiaowu tripped over a stone, and all the gold inside spilled out. That's what I saw with my own eyes.

.Just because of this, the four of them each ate forty military sticks, and you don’t know it." The boy shouted in a drunken voice.

"What are you shouting about? Have you forgotten my Lord's instructions? Whoever dares to go out and talk nonsense will have his head. I think he really wants to live a long life!" Hu Shuanzhu cursed.

After hearing this, the guard reacted and quickly covered his mouth with a look of fear on his face. After a long time, he took his hand away and said tremblingly: "I didn't say anything just now... nothing."

Didn’t say…”

"All the wine this man drank went into his mother's stomach. Okay, go back and settle the score!" Hu Shuanzhu shouted loudly.

"I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out..." The guard hurriedly took out the money, and then said pleadingly: "Brother Hu, what just happened... look at it..."

"Okay! Pretend I didn't hear it. Ask Xiaofei if he heard it." After Hu Shuanzhu finished speaking, he turned his head to the side.

The guard looked at another guard and said softly: "Brother Fei, look..."

"I didn't hear it either. Let's settle the score and leave. Brother, you big mouth, please be more careful in the future so that you don't get yourself killed. It's not like you don't know the temper of our adults." After finishing speaking,

, Lift your butt.

After calculating the money for the drinks, the three of them left the tavern. After the three people left, the tavern was boiling with excitement. Everyone talked to each other about the gold dug out of the Zhang family ancestral hall. In just one day, the entire Yanshi County

It spread everywhere, and the spread became more and more weird. At first it was said to be tens of thousands of taels, and later it became hundreds of thousands of taels. Some people even said that there were precious jewelry and jades, which were priceless. Just like these things,

It's like they saw it with their own eyes.

In a side hall of the Yulong Mountain Empress Temple, Mr. Ye closed his eyes slightly and kept tapping his palms with the folding fan. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Boss Shu walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and then said: "Mr. Ye, there is news from Yanshi City."

"How is the situation?" Mr. Ye asked calmly.

"The treasures in the Zhang family ancestral hall were dug up by Yue Su. It is said that they are all boxes of gold. Estimated numerically, it is at least hundreds of thousands of taels." Boss Mouse said.

"It is said that Shen Wansan was the richest man in the world, so he secretly left hundreds of thousands of taels of gold to his descendants, which is not much. But this Yue Su is really ruthless, and he actually came up with the idea of ​​poaching other people's ancestral halls. We are one move away from him. , he made a plan, but he got the upper hand. The second lady has been accompanying Old Man Zhang for so many years, and so many brothers have died. The lord really lost his wife and lost his troops this time." Mr. Ye said with a sigh.

"Mr. Ye, you are extremely smart. You must find a way to turn things around. If things go wrong again in Yue Su's hands this time, my lord will be furious. As you said, if we don't get this treasure , the loss is too heavy." said the rat boss.

"Don't worry, I won't just watch Yue Su take the gold away. You should immediately disperse the people and go to Luoyang, Zhengzhou and surrounding counties to watch for any signs of troop mobilization. Let Wang Qilong know again , and let his people stand ready and ready to go. This time we can only bet that Yue Sutuo will not mobilize troops from the surrounding area when escorting the treasure and leaving. This way we still have a chance of success." Mr. Ye said lightly. .

"Mr. Ye, are you... trying to steal..." Boss Mouse asked carefully.

"What else can we do? The treasure has already fallen into Yue Su's hands. It's impossible to steal such a large amount of gold. The only thing left is to rob it. We have done this kind of thing often, and we are not bad at it. Once. By the way, remember to ask someone to walk back and forth on the road from Yanshi to Luoyang to see if there is a good place to set up an ambush."

"Yes, Mr. Ye." Boss Shu agreed, and then said, "Do you have any other instructions?"

"You go and send a message to the second lady and ask her to come over as soon as possible." Mr. Ye waved his hand gently and sent Boss Shu away.

After everyone exited the room, Mr. Ye took a painting from the table, which was a painting of a lady stolen from Yue Su.

He unfolded the painting and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, "Yue Su, Yue Su, you are more ruthless than me. I used my Yangzi life to steal this painting. You didn't even give me a chance to study it, so you sent People are going to dig it up by force. What’s the use of this painting..."

As he spoke, Mr. Ye's eyes revealed a ferocious look. He suddenly moved his hands and tore the painting into pieces. Then he said coldly: "Yue Su, our game is not over yet. This is the real fight." Let's start..." Then, he clenched his pink fist tightly and said: "The time for a fight to the death will come soon, soon, soon... then either you will die or I will die..."

Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.

The officers, soldiers and guards in the courtyard were busy busy. Mule carts were driven into the yard one after another. Then the officers and soldiers loaded the large wooden boxes onto the carts, tied them up and drove out of the yard.

Outside the hall of the ancestral hall, two large pits were dug in the ground. It was thought that they were dug from here to the bottom of the ancestral hall and opened the treasure. In the hall, there were only two people, Yue Su and Xiong Tingbi. They sat cross-legged in front of the jade, looking very strange. Comfortable.

"Lord Xiong, this time our headquarters did not mobilize surrounding troops. We relied entirely on the guards and the few people in Yanshi County. Are you confident that we will kill all the rebels?"

"Sir, I am not as good as you when it comes to directing a battle, and you are not as good as me when it comes to commanding a battle. We have at least twice as many troops as the rebels. We should fight with more than the few, and we should be prepared to fight. I think that in case of failure,

." Xiong Tingbi said with certainty.

"Are you so confident that the rebels will start from here?"

"My Lord, I also have a certain understanding of the Dragon Slayer Gang. These people are by no means reckless, and they can also make plans and act. It's a pity that their opponents are Lord and me."

While the two were talking, Yin Zhu walked in, bowed and said: "The boxes have been packed and can set off at any time."

Yue Su nodded and said: "Let's set off now and be careful along the way. You can take the cannon with you."

"Sir, please carry the cannon on your subordinates. Remember your instructions, when in contact with the enemy, do not fire them until the battle reaches a stalemate," Yin Zhu said.

"Very good, I have ordered Jin Chan and Li Haoquan to lead the reinforcements to lie in the mansion closest to the city gate. Half an hour after you leave the city, they will leave the city to follow you. When the signal is seen, reinforcements will be sent in time. You only need to delay as much as possible.

As soon as the reinforcements arrive, the rebels will be captured in one fell swoop." Yue Su ordered.

"I will definitely live up to your trust."

After Yin Zhu finished speaking, Yue Su just nodded without any further instructions. Yin Zhu exited the hall, organized his troops and led the team to set off.

The officers and soldiers guarded the convoy, and hundreds of people were anxious to help drive it, and they headed towards the west gate in a mighty manner. In order to induce the Dragon Slayer Gang to fall into the trap, Yue Su arranged it very carefully, and asked Yin Zhu to take the guard of honor, so

It was as if Yue Su was leading the team himself. As Yue Su said just now, Jin Chan and Li Haoran led the inspection team of several hundred people and hid in the largest houses away from the west gate. Waiting for half an hour after Yin Zhu left the city,

Then chase from behind.

The biggest advantage of this arrangement is that it allows the Zhanlong Gang to easily set up an ambush and observe that there is no movement in the surrounding counties, so they can dare to take action boldly. Yin Zhu's men walked first for half an hour, and Jin Chan followed up, even if they were killed by Zhanlong

The gang's scouts discovered that it was too late to report the news. By the time they went to report the news, fighting had already begun in front of them.

Such a plan seems to be just in case of failure.

Today's Yanshi County seems extremely quiet. The Zhang family ancestral hall seems to have been deserted. The guards put a seal on the door before going out, leaving only a dozen people to guard it. However, who would have thought that Yue Su

He and Xiong Tingbi would sit safely inside, just waiting for the good news. As a governor, it is impossible for him to personally engage in dangerous activities when he is a young bailo. Just like Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong and other commanders of the three armies, when will they see them in person?

charge.

The courtyard door was sealed, and Xiong Zhaogui, Yang Yishan, Tie Qiu, and dozens of personal guards walked into the hall. The guards saluted from both sides, and Tie Qiu and Xiong Zhaogui stood behind Yue Su and Xiong Tingbi respectively. Only Yang

Yishan walked to Yue Su, bowed and said, "Master, the troops and horses have already set off. According to your instructions, the courtyard gate will be sealed."

Yue Su nodded, waved his hand to him and said: "Waiting for good news."

Yang Yishan did not retreat to the back. He hesitated and said, "Teacher, the student feels something is wrong today."
