Yu Shouzhong led two of his men to take charge of Yanshi County, which is the second largest county in Henan Prefecture after Luoyang. It has a dense population and a large county, so the volume of leaflets is also relatively large, with two thousand copies, second only to Luoyang City.
.
When they arrived in Yanshi County, Yu Shouzhong's troops were divided into two groups. One of his subordinates took 500 leaflets and went to the villages in the countryside to distribute them. They mainly threw dozens of leaflets at the entrance of the village at night and left. There was basically no risk.
Yu Shouzhong led one of his men into Yanshi County and stayed in an inn close to the city gate. As soon as they settled in, the waiter brought them hot water. Yu Shouzhong smiled and asked: "There is a man named Yan Xiaowei near the west gate.
Do you know how to find him?"
This is the news that Shopkeeper He bought for them. They stay in an inn near the West City Gate and ask the innkeeper to find this Captain Yan. "This man is a beggar leader. He has a lot of information and a wide range of ways. He is in Yanshi
It is easiest for the county to do things with him."
The waiter looked at him strangely and asked, "Is the officer in trouble and needs help?"
"No trouble at all, but I do want to ask Lieutenant Yan to do something more troublesome."
After saying that, Yu Shouzhong handed a small piece of silver weighing about one tael to the clerk, "Consider it your hard-earned money. Help me find Captain Yan!"
One tael of silver can be exchanged for five guans, which is equivalent to the clerk's income in the past three months. The clerk suddenly smiled and said quickly: "You guys wait, I will bring her here right away. She is the beggar leader of Yanshi County, and she is an aunt."
."
The clerk left, and not long after, he brought a woman who surprised Yu Shouzhong. She was about fifty years old, with short eyebrows, small eyes, and a fleshy face. She had a rather fierce appearance, a tall stature, and an extremely round and fat body. She weighed at least two hundred and fifty.
Ten pounds.
She came in aggressively and sat down on the chair with her elephant-like butt, causing the chair to creak painfully.
"I am Captain Yan, what do you want?"
"I would like to ask you to distribute 1,500 leaflets for us in Yanshi County, and try to distribute them door to door."
Lieutenant Yan nodded, "I'll take over this job. There are more than 130 restaurants in Yanshi County. If each restaurant throws ten leaflets, then a leaflet costs ten cents. If it is to be delivered door to door, each leaflet will cost ten cents."
If you only send one, then each leaflet costs one hundred cents. The price I offer is very fair. If you ask me to send a beggar to scatter 1,500 leaflets directly into the sky in the downtown area, then each leaflet only costs you
One penny, your choice!"
Yu Shouzhong said: "I want to deliver it door to door. I will give you thirty taels of silver. I will give you ten taels first, and then twenty taels when you are done. If you are afraid that I will run away, you can send someone to keep an eye on me."
Lieutenant Yan stretched out his fat hand like a leaf fan and said, "Give me the leaflet and ten taels of silver!"
Yu Shouzhong winked at his subordinates, who immediately handed her a thick packet of leaflets and gave her an ingot or ten taels of silver.
Lieutenant Yan weighed the money, stuffed it into his arms, took out a leaflet and took a look at it. His face suddenly changed slightly. She stared at Yu Shouzhong for a long time, "Are you the Sichuan-Shaanxi Army?"
"Exactly!"
Lieutenant Yan suddenly grinned widely, "Mom, I like your Highness King Yong the most, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to marry him. For the sake of King Yong, I will take this job and reduce it by fifty kuan.
Just one hundred taels of silver, and you can pay me another ten taels of silver later."
After saying that, she stood up and walked away without looking back, twisting her butt.
Captain Yan left, and then the clerk came in and said with a smile: "Ms. Yan is very trustworthy. She won't take on anything she can't do. If she does, she will do it right. You don't have to worry."
"Why did she call Captain Yan such a weird name?"
"She was a brothel girl when she was young. Her stage name was Yan Xiaowei. Later she married the beggar leader of the county. When the beggar leader died ten years ago, she inherited her husband's position. She grew fatter and fatter, and everyone became comfortable with calling her.
Captain Yan means that she has an army of thousands of beggars in her hands."
At night, Yu Shouzhong's men came back to report, "General, that Lieutenant Yan is really good and trustworthy. I saw hundreds of little beggars delivering flyers door to door. They delivered them to the whole city, and they even sang flowers!"
"What kind of music do you want to sing?"
"King Yong did not pay taxes when he arrived, got drunk every day during the New Year, expelled the Tartars and conquered the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers made Jingkang shed tears with blood."
"There's more! The emperor regards the people as ears of grass and despises the people in the north as burdens. For fifteen years of blood and tears, he hopes that King Yong will return soon."
"It's quite interesting. It shows that the people's eyes are sharp. They know that the court doesn't care whether they live or die, and only King Yong can save them."
"That's right! These beggars know everyone's thoughts, so they compose songs that hit people's hearts directly."
Speaking of this, his subordinates worried again: "But if this happens, won't Jin Bing know that we are going to send troops?"
Yu Shouzhong laughed, "There are too many true and false things. Maybe the Jin soldiers will think that we are attacking from the east and west, but we are actually going to attack Hebei!"
At dawn the next day, Lieutenant Yan rushed over like a gust of wind. She almost knocked open Yu Shouzhong's door with her fists. She stared at Yu Shouzhong with a pair of small eyes like a she-wolf and asked: "Do you have another subordinate?"
Distributing flyers in the countryside?”
"Yes! What happened to him?"
"He was caught by the county captain last night."
Yu Shouzhong's heart sank and he asked urgently: "Why would the county captain arrest him at night?"
"Lieutenant Yang County is a local. He returned to his ancestral home last night and brought a dozen archers with him. I heard that they discovered your men were distributing leaflets. They set up an ambush and captured your men in the wheat field.
"
"Then where are my men now?"
"You are in the county prison and may be sent to Luoyang at noon. Do you want me to arrange for my men to snatch your men out?"
Yu Shouzhong walked a few steps and asked: "Who is the most famous and prestigious family in Yanshi County?"
Lieutenant Yan shook his head, "I know what you mean. It's useless to find someone to act as a lobbyist. Wuzhi County is a trusted confidant. It's useless even if you ask the King of Heaven."
Yu Shou Zhongxin asked: "Are all the archers led by county captains?"
"All of them!"
"Then please ask Aunt Yan to rob people for me. I will definitely report to King Yong and report Aunt Yan's achievements."
"No! I just hope that the leaflets you distributed are true. If the army doesn't come, I won't be able to see Master Yan grow old."
Speaking of this, Captain Yan smiled slyly and said, "General, does he have something to tell Captain Yang?"
Yu Shouzhong said coldly: "Find someone to tell him for me that if my men are taken to Luoyang, the Western Army's scouts will kill his whole family and leave no chickens or dogs behind. Then warn his men for me that if they do not atone for their sins,
They will definitely be held accountable!”
"I understand. I will find someone to tell you, but the general had better get out of the city."
Yu Shouzhong nodded, "Ma'am, please find me some more weapons."
"What weapons do you want?"
"You need two pairs of bows and arrows, two swords and two spears, and preferably three horses. I'm just borrowing them and will definitely return them later."
"Wait, someone will deliver it soon!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lieutenant Yan sent someone to deliver bows, arrows, swords, spears, and three horses. What Yu Shouzhong didn't expect was that she also sent two pairs of golden soldiers' armor and two pieces of golden soldiers' centurion army.
Cards, I really don’t know where she got them from?
Yu Shouzhong and his men changed their armor and rode horses to the vicinity of the county government office. The beggar was going to rob someone in the prison, so they could not stand idly by.
Both of them are very skilled in martial arts, especially Yu Shouzhong, whose archery skills are extremely powerful. People with good skills are said to be bold. If his subordinates hadn't been caught, Yu Shouzhong would never have done anything troublesome, but now he had to take action.
