Chapter 531 Strategy (2)

After Yan Keqiu left the house, Xu Wen had not sat firmly, but heard a turbulent room outside, and then he heard Zhang Hao's broken voice: "Brother Xu, brother Xu, how did you do it!" Before Xu Wen could stand up, he heard a bang sound, and the door was knocked open. Zhang Hao rushed in with excitement on his face and said loudly: "Brother Xu, you are good at doing it. I really don't accept it. Let me tell you the whole story to listen to it!"

"Brother Zhang, keep silent. This matter is important. Be careful of hearing outside the wall!" Xu Wen whispered, walked to the door and poked his head out to drive away the servants, and asked a close confidant to guard the idle people to wait for the approach, so he returned to the house. Zhang Hao stood there and couldn't help it. Seeing Xu Wen back, he quickly said, "The garrison in the small city has already gone out. When will we take action?"

Xu Wen pondered for a moment before whispering: "Although Yang Wo did things against him, he was the blood of the previous king after all. The previous king had great benefits to the people of Huainan, and all the generals of the prefectures and counties were their old subordinates. If we hurt him, we would be afraid that it would be bad if we aroused public anger!"

When Zhang Hao heard Xu Wen say this, he immediately became anxious: "Dunmei, why are you afraid again? You finally encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you stop, you will suffer from it!"

Xu Wen was about to explain, but suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and then he heard someone outside the door breathing: "Your Madam, something happened, something big happened!"

Xu Wen stood up and said sternly: "If you have any major issues, you can't wait for a while. Didn't I just say that I have important matters with Zhang Zuoya and I have to discuss important matters and not disturb me?"

The voices outside the door paused for a moment. It was obvious that the successor hesitated, but the news was important to overcome the fear of Xu Wen. The man whispered: "Please forgive me, the king, the king killed someone, the judge Zhou Yin of the Jiedushi! All the old and young people in the family were destroyed!"

"What?" Xu Wen rushed to the door with a quick step, pushed open the door, and immediately knocked the trustee who was kneeling on the ground to the ground, bleeding from his nostrils. Xu Wen didn't care much, grabbed it up and asked anxiously: "What did you say just now, repeat it!"

The confidant had never seen Xu Wen's appearance before, and was frightened and mechanically repeated: "The king killed someone, the king killed the judge Zhou Yin of the Jiedushi! All the old and young people in the family were in the government as slaves!"

"Okay! OK!" Xu Wen's face was full of ecstasy. He paced back and forth happily. Suddenly he stopped and asked the confidant: "Repeat everything you know, not a word."

"This morning, after the discussion with the generals, he suddenly asked Judge Zhou, "You are a minister, but you bought someone's country, how can you see me again?" After saying that, he pushed Judge Zhou out of his sword and killed him. Then he searched the city. Judge Zhou's sons died, and the rest of his relatives were not in the government office as slaves!"

Xu Wen nodded and then asked, "Has your news been true?"

"This is the news that the villain was in the royal family's hometown. There may be some deviations in specific terms, but the death of Judge Zhou and his family members were in the government as slaves has been confirmed."

"Okay, very good!" Xu Wen nodded and smiled, "You go to the account room to get ten coins of money first. This is what I reward you. Then you go and inquire about the information. The more detailed the better. I will still have a reward when I come back!"

The confidant was overjoyed and bowed to thank him, "Thank you, my husband!" Then he stepped back and left.

Xu Wen turned around and saw that Zhang Hao was already standing in front of him, his face full of excitement and ecstasy. At this moment, without looking in the mirror, Xu Wen could know that his expression was the same as Zhang Hao, and he was also ecstatic.

In Guangling, the residence of the Jiedushi, the drizzle fell on the tiles of the house next to the road, making a slight sound, making people feel a chill from their bones. The rain has been falling for almost twenty days in a row. The road made of loess has been muddy. The roads are crowded with onlookers, and countless eyes are focused on the door of the gorgeous mansion. The iron-brown door that is almost never opened on weekdays has fallen to the ground. You can vaguely see the blood that has turned black. The whole door is like a mouth with a knocked front teeth. Groups of Huainan soldiers are constantly entering and leaving boxes of property.

"Here comes out, come out!" With a whisper, the onlookers swayed. A group of prisoners came out of the gate, both men, women, young and old, all wearing white clothes, strung together by long ropes, driven by Huainan soldiers on both sides, walking step by step in the mud, and in a mess. These people were the family of Zhou Yin, the judge of Huainan Jiedu. Seeing these people who were still high a few days ago, the feeling of watching the people was very complicated. The scene suddenly became quiet, and for a moment, they could only hear the shouts of the soldiers escorting the soldiers and the sound of Jiaye fighting.

Suddenly, an old woman tripped under her feet and fell into the mud. Everyone was strung together by long ropes. The ranks stopped. The sergeant who was escorting the side was furious when he saw this. He grabbed the spear and thrust hard on the old woman's back without saying anything. The old woman's body was not good at all. After being hit twice, she vomited blood and lay in the mud. The sergeant was even bigger, but was knocked away by a young man who rushed out next to her and fell on his butt. The young man might be the old woman's nephew. After pushing the sergeant away, he went to support the old woman, but he didn't want to get up and stabbed him in the chest. The young man was about to dodge, but he was tied up by the long rope and could not dodge. He was shot into the belly with one shot. The remaining momentum was not over, and even the old woman behind him was nailed to the ground.

Suddenly seeing this bloody scene, the people watching on the road couldn't help but scream. Many women subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands or turned their heads. The men among the prisoners roared angrily, trying their best to break away from the ropes and initiate resistance. The escorted soldiers beat them hard with guns and whips. Due to the advantages of quantity and weapons, the resistance was quickly suppressed. The muddy road was covered with blood, but it soon disappeared under the erosion of the rain.

A teacup fell on the bluestone ground and broke the ground. A middle-aged man said angrily: "It's too much! After all, Zhou Yin is also an old man who raised an army with King Wu Zhong. Even if the King of Wu said the wrong thing when he ascended the throne, he has been loyal in the past few years and has never had any more than the rules. The King of Wu actually killed him like this. It would be fine if he killed him, but he also implicated his family and his family. When Tian Wei raised an army and plotted against him, King Wu Zhong also served as his mother for him. Why is the father and son so bad?

A woman with a very rich appearance quickly walked to the door, poked her head out to see that there was no one around, and then carefully closed the door and whispered to the point of dissuasion, "Mr., please keep your voice low! Be careful to let anyone talk too much, causing the family to be destroyed. The Zhou family is the lesson of the past!"

The middle-aged man looked resentful, but he kept silent under his wife's dissuasion. After a while, he could not contain the anger in his heart and said hatefully: "The king is so useless. In my opinion, King Wu Zhong's foundation will reach this generation!"

That night, similar scenes happened in many families in Guangling City, especially those veterans who followed Yang Xingmi to conquer the world. Zhou Yin's experience not only made them frightened, but also made them angry. The more generous Yang Xingmi's behavior was, the more violent Yang Wo's current actions were, the more unacceptable they were. People looked at the tall mansion of the King of Wu's Mansion with a gloomy look, as if they were expecting something to happen.

In Guangling's Wu Palace, the main hall was lined with candles as thick as arms, illuminating the hall as if it were daylight. Yang Wo leaned in the arms of a concubine, drunkenly, and was proudly watching the confidant sitting on the two sides below drinking. The news of victory from Jiangxi was like a bright stream, sweeping away the upcoming polo court that was about to be rebuilt. Zhou Yin's death, who had once opposed him, made him feel even happier. He had never felt the sweetness of power as he did now. The feeling of pleasure that could immediately turn into reality made him feel almost like he was floating in the air.

At this time, a pair of round jade arms stretched out from behind and brought a glass of wine to Yang Wo's mouth. "King, I'll invite you to drink this glass!" A slightly hoarse voice sounded behind Yang Wo. Yang Wo turned his head and saw a pretty woman half kneeling on the ground. The woman's name was Guanwa, a concubine of Yang Wo. She played a good flute and was quite favored by Yang Wo. She was holding a glass of wine in both hands, and her face was full of a gentle smile. Yang Wo did not take the wine glass immediately, but just stared at the drunken eyes and looked up and down at the Guanwa. Until the other party's face was a little stiff, she suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Okay, okay, okay!" She took the wine glass and drank it all.

The nurse then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly prepared to take the wine glass back, bowed to thank him, "The king is indeed a huge amount, I admire you!"

However, Yang Wo did not return the empty wine glass to the other party and asked with a smile: "Do you know what I just praised?"

Guanwa felt that Yang Wo's smile was a little wrong, but at this time he had to kneel down and answer: "I am stupid, please let me know!"

"I just said 'ok' just now. What praises Guanwa's neck is round and slender, which is rare in the world, but there is one better thing." Yang Wo suddenly threw the wine glass to the ground, pulled out the sword that was placed aside with his backhand, and waved the sword to chop Guanwa's head to the ground with a wave of his hair. Hengdao said with a skull, "No matter how beautiful the neck is, I will break it into two pieces with a wave. Isn't this a better thing?"

Yang Wo's sudden actions shocked everyone in the field. After a while, he heard a scream. It turned out that the concubine who had just sat beside Yang Wo came to her senses. Seeing that a beautiful woman who was still alive and had a different body and head in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help but panic. While screaming, she rolled and crawled to the side, but Yang Wo quickly caught up, grabbed her hair and pulled it up, stabbed her in from the back of her heart, and immediately lost her life.

Just when the palace was in chaos, a guard suddenly rushed over and shouted in anger: "Report to the king, there are chaos soldiers and chaos soldiers are rushing in!"

Everyone in the hall who was drinking and having fun stood up all of a sudden. Li Huaizhong, who was the head of the palace, rushed forward and grabbed the guard and asked sternly: "What kind of chaos soldiers? Who is the leader? How many people are there in total? Where are the personal soldiers in the palace?"

"There are many riots, and I don't know how many people are. The leader said that it was Zhang Hao, the commander of the left yamen in the left yamen of the personal army. Everyone resisted to the death, but there were too many riots!" The guard was very embarrassed and spoke incoherently, but it was easy to judge the seriousness of the situation from his answer. Obviously, this was not a spontaneous mutiny, but an organized mutiny launched by someone behind. At this time, Li Huaizhong could already use his ears to hear the sound of fighting from afar. Several black smoke had risen outside the third and fourth yards. Obviously, the guards of the royal palace were resisting with all their strength, but judging from the momentum of both sides, the time for the defense to persist was very limited.

"Hurry, Wang Wulang and Li Laoqi, you two escort the king out of the mansion and hurry up to go to the East Court Horse Army. The remaining people will be cut off with me. As long as the king can escape, we still have a chance to get it back, otherwise everyone will die here!" Li Huaizhong immediately made an accurate judgment. Wang Wulang and Li Laoqi quickly helped Yang Wo, who was already drunk and weak, rushed out from the back hall. Li Huaizhong calmed down and began to arm himself with the weapons he could find, preparing to gain enough time to exchange for the opportunity for Yang Wo to escape. Just as everyone was in a state of chaos, the soldiers arrived.

Zhang Hao stood in the first row of the ranks, the black iron armor was covered with blood, and there were several traces of swords on his shoulders and right arm. If it weren't for the excellent quality of this mountain armor, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand in the ranks at this time. His eyes swept across the people in the hall, as if looking for someone. Finally, Zhang Hao asked in a deep voice: "Where is Yang Wo?"

"Zhang Hao, you are so bold. How dare you call the king's name! Do you want to die?" Li Huaizhong scolded loudly, and he was secretly happy. It would be best if he could use words to exchange for precious time. He had already vaguely guessed who the person behind this was. As long as the rebels did not hold Yang Wo in the first wave of raids, they would not be able to escape the fate of failure. At that time, he might be able to escape his life. Of course, the premise of all this is that he could survive the disaster in front of him. Thinking of this, Li Huaizhong felt a pain in his mouth and couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously.

Zhang Hao ignored Li Huaizhong's reprimand. He waved his hand. The soldiers behind him moved forward a few steps. The sharp spear tip appeared a dark blue under the light. Zhang Hao raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, and said loudly: "I count three times, and those who say Yang Wo's whereabouts can survive, and the rest will die!" Then Zhang Hao shouted without stopping: "One!" At the same time, he bent his thumb, and there were only two straight fingers left.

"Second!" Li Huaizhong swallowed a non-existent saliva. At this time, his throat was as thirsty as it was in the dry land that had not rained for four or five months. Looking at the enemy soldiers who were slowly approaching, the only thought in his mind was that if he turned back and found a glass of wine in the palace, it would not be too late.

"Don't worry, the king is safe and sound!" A loud voice sounded behind the hall, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the place where the sound came from. Xu Wen's wide robe and jade belt, two soldiers on the side held one person hostage, tied up like a rice dumpling, with walnuts stuffed in his mouth, and could not speak, it was Yang Wo.
