The group of people arrived at Zhuerchong Alley very quickly.
Although Zhao Yanzhen has not lived in the house in Zhuerchong Lane for some time, there are still people taking care of the house, so the house is still clean.
Moreover, since the last incident, only a few of the already sparse households in Zhuerchong Alley have moved away, so after that, only Zhao Yanzhen's family is still here in Zhuerchong Alley. Rent.
Seeing that there were no neighbors left, Zhao Yanzhen later simply purchased the yards of several neighboring households. He only arranged for people to smash down the walls, and after they were integrated into one, he transformed them into a large yard. .
Therefore, there is not much else in this small alley, but there are enough houses to manage it.
Shen Fanghui thought that Zhao Yanzhen would take them to the county government office at first, and she was a little frightened for a while. But then she saw that they were going to the alley. Although she relaxed a lot, she didn't relax too much at the moment.
When she reached the dark alley, she became more vigilant. However, when the courtyard of the house was opened, everything here was obviously beyond her expectation.
This courtyard is built in the style of a Su-style garden. They blend the scenery into the painting and integrate it with the landscape. Obviously, everything here is not made of gold, wood and jade, but every scene and painting on it shows the excellent taste and uniqueness of the owner of this courtyard. Philippine financial resources.
Seeing this scene, even Grandma Li couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that there was such a cave in this small courtyard.
But then, Nanny Li thought that this was just Leiyang, and it didn't cost much to buy such a courtyard, let alone the housing prices in the capital, so Nanny Li became a little more angry for no reason.
After Zhao Yanzhen entered the inner room, he whispered to Yan Ziqing, "We have parked about ten carriages on the outskirts of Leiyang City. If the bandits have left the outskirts of Leiyang City, you can send a team there." See if those carriages are still there, if they are still there, you can bring those carriages back to the city for me and place the things directly at Guo Shizhang's house."
Yan Ziqing naturally nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Yanzhen's instructions.
After Zhao Yanzhen finished explaining this most important matter, he finally turned his attention to Shen Fanghui and his party.
Then he just said to Yan Ziqing, "As for this group of people, you can just arrange them in the guest rooms inside."
Faced with Zhao Yanzhen's words, Yan Ziqing naturally nodded in agreement.
Then Yan Ziqing took the initiative to walk up to Shen Fanghui and others. He only took the initiative to say to Shen Fanghui and others, "Miss Shen, our master asked you to stay in the guest room for the time being. After the city is sealed, that person will come to find you. We will naturally send you away."
Shen Fanghui naturally didn't believe a word of what Yan Ziqing said, but in this situation, even if she didn't believe what the other party said, there was nothing she could do about it.
Therefore, Shen Fanghui finally went to the guest room under Yan Ziqing's arrangement.
However, Grandma Li had not forgotten her ten carts of jewelry. She only said, "If you have any idea, remember to get the jewelry on my cart back for us!"
Hearing what Nanny Li said, Yan Ziqing just chuckled, "Okay."
Then Yan Ziqing signaled everyone to arrange for Nanny Li and her group to go to the guest room.
On the other side, the bandit leader retreated in embarrassment due to the arrival of Yunzhou border troops outside Leiyang City and fled dozens of miles away.
After feeling that there were no pursuers behind them and that their men and horses were exhausted, the bandits stopped running desperately.
They only settled in a mountain field not far away.
While they were resting and reorganizing, the military advisors under the bandit leader also began to count the number of people in their team.
It was obvious that after the battle with the Leiyang City soldiers just now, and the stampede and escape of our own people, the number of two thousand people before was now reduced by half.
The military advisor felt it was a pity, so he took the initiative to report the current personnel attrition situation to the bandit leader.
"Your Majesty, after the count I just made, I found that we lost about a thousand men this time, and now we only have about a thousand soldiers left." The military advisor only spoke in a low voice and reported to the bandit leader. Today's situation.
"I just wonder what your Majesty's plan is this time?" the military advisor asked in a low voice.
When he heard that he had lost nearly half of his troops before formally attacking the city, the bandit leader's face immediately became very ugly.
He only asked the military advisor gloomily, "Do we have any other options?"
Facing the bandit leader's inquiry, the military advisor only whispered, "Of course there are options. One is to choose to lurk around here and inquire about the specific situation of Leiyang City. Then we can proceed to the second step."
"The second option is to go home and wait until the storm is over before we make a comeback?"
Obviously, the two suggestions put forward by the military advisor were quite reliable, but it was a pity that the bandit leader deliberately made things difficult for him and said, "Isn't there a third option?"
The military advisor was a little stumped after hearing what the other party said, but he still said truthfully, "There is really no third option at the moment."
Hearing this, the bandit leader couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Didn't you swear that you could raze this Leiyang County town to the ground with two thousand people? But what about now? What is the situation now? I have two thousand people." We haven't even entered the city yet, but nearly half of our troops have been lost. This is what you call invincible and invincible."
Facing the accusation from his own leader, the military advisor was obviously a little aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, what I said is correct, and what I said is not a problem. If there were only their own defensive soldiers in the city at that time, then how many more of us, more than two thousand people, would we have against their more than three hundred people? What's the problem? Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway. Who would have thought that Prince Jin and the others would leave such a back-up man behind."
At the end of the sentence, the military advisor only said, "Besides, we retreated too easily just now. We only have two thousand people, but we still hold so many hostages. If we use them well, those hostages can withstand a million-strong army." After all, no matter how brave the Yunzhou border troops are, they can't help but take the lives of those people seriously. But what happened to us just now? As soon as we heard that the Yunzhou border troops were coming, we started to panic! This is something I didn’t expect either.”
After hearing what the strategist said, the bandit leader's face couldn't help but drop. He could only hear these few ideas from the strategist's mouth.
One person is not as good as God. How could he know that Leiyang City actually had a back-up plan, so it was not his fault.
Second, there is nothing wrong with his plan. It's just that the quality of these bandits is worrying and their level is limited.
Hearing the other party gibbering a lot, the bandit leader suddenly became furious.
Although he didn't know where to refute this military advisor, they came with full confidence but came back defeated. Now they always have to come up with someone to take on the problem this time.
First of all, as the main person in charge of this operation and the leader of a village, it is naturally impossible for him to deal with himself.
Secondly, his subordinates, as the executors of this operation, even though some of their actions during the operation were unsatisfactory, they are the source and main component of their own power, so they certainly cannot be dealt with.
Since they cannot be dealt with, the military advisor naturally becomes the most suitable person to take the blame. After all, once he is gone, he is gone. If he didn't have a military advisor before, wouldn't he be ruling his own village well? Therefore, if he is gone, it will not affect him from guarding his three-thirds of land. Secondly, dealing with the military advisor is also the least expensive way to solve the problem.
So after thinking about this, he just took the initiative to say to the military advisor, "This plan is yours. You can't calculate these things, so what do I need from you? Come on! Let's eliminate this disaster today." Our brother's demon was beheaded."
The survivors naturally heard what the military advisor said in defense.
They originally didn't have any objections when they heard the military advisor say the first sentence, but when they heard the military advisor's second sentence, they all became a little angry. After all, no one wanted to have their mistakes pointed out directly like this, and He only puts this mistake on them
, if you want them to become the main bearers of this mistake, it is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, the military advisor's words could only be regarded as offending others invisibly.
At this moment, after they heard that their boss gave such an order, they would not help the military advisor again. They even felt that they couldn't wait after their boss gave such an order.
Therefore, after the other party's order was issued, a group of them immediately suppressed the military advisor. The military advisor obviously did not know how big a taboo he had committed. He was still struggling and defending himself.
But no matter how eloquent he was at this moment, no one took his words to heart.
At this moment, they are just waiting impatiently to strangle each other.
However, before the knife fell, they heard the sound of horse hooves galloping in front of them, and listening to the sound, this group of people seemed to be a large force.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, a seasoned bandit immediately looked unhappy and said, "Your Majesty, this team is coming from south to north. It is probably a large team. Do you think we should Avoid it first."
Upon hearing the report from the other party, some people couldn't help but said, "Isn't it because the Yunzhou border troops are still insisting on us?"
However, his idea was quickly refuted by others, "The Yunzhou border troops are now in Leiyang City. If they want to chase us, they should chase us from north to south."
"That's not the Yunzhou border army. Who could it be with such a large army?"
Hearing everyone's discussion, even the military advisor couldn't help but poke his head out from under his sword and said, "I think regardless of whether it's the Yunzhou border army or not, we'd better hide it quickly."
