No one knew what Duan Qianfeng, the newly appointed supervisory strategist, was thinking.
At first, everyone thought he was thinking about how to guard the pass, but when they saw that the map in the old guy's hand was the map of the south, not the map of the pass wall and the pass outside the pass, everyone did not understand.
Han You didn't understand either, and he didn't want to understand either, so he just stood beside him.
Time passed minute by second, past noon hour, past noon hour, past Shen hour, past Unitary hour, until nightfall, but there was indeed no movement from the enemy.
Han You was a little disappointed and couldn't describe the feeling.
He hoped that the enemy would abide by the agreement and give the Confederate army more time to react and prepare.
I also hope that Zhou Tianfeng will not abide by the agreement and will be a hypocrite who goes back on his word.
I don’t know if this rebel is a hypocrite, but at least for now I can be sure that the other party will “keep his promise”.
It is not a normal thing for a rebel to keep his promise.
Han You, who hadn't even eaten lunch, walked down the tower. He was very nervous and exhausted. When he returned to the Xiaoqi camp, he found that Yi Junyi and other soldiers still hadn't returned. Only three detectives had just returned to report the letter.
Han You asked him about the details, and deep worry came to his mind.
Yi Junyi's men found traces of the march in the forest east of Tanma City, numbering at least a thousand people, but the traces led to the south.
This means that it is not that there are enemy thieves outside the pass who have walked through the mountains and forests to the inside of the pass, but that there are people inside the pass who have escaped from the pass.
This is a very strange thing. At least a thousand people, if they are from a foreign tribe, why would they leave again?
Or, Fan Man didn't come in, nor did he come in and then leave. Could it be that the person Yi Junyi was following was someone who left the pass?
"Guarding the gate is not just guarding the city."
Han You rubbed his eyebrows, his head as big as a bucket: "Three generations are a family, five generations are a clan, seven generations are a family, and nine generations are a clan. The Southland is the richest and has the most aristocratic families. The Zhang family can be considered a wealthy family. People have already taken refuge with Zhou Tianfeng before they noticed it, and I don’t know how many other aristocratic families have secretly taken refuge with the rebels.”
Many of the friends were silent. Except for Feng Bai and Zhou Tong, they all came from grassroots backgrounds and did not understand such people.
It can be determined that there is more than one Zhang family who secretly seeks refuge with Zhou Tianfeng, and there must be a few more. It is estimated that the number is not a small number.
In fact, there is nothing difficult to understand. The so-called "taking refuge" does not really mean following Zhou Tianfeng to fight for life or death. It may be turning a blind eye, or it may be secretly funding some property, food and grass. Only a very small number of people would be determined to follow Zhou Tianfeng in rebellion.
It all comes down to the word "profit". From a certain perspective, wasn't it also because of the word "profit" that the generals in Zhechong Mansion from all over the country strongly supported Lao Ba's rebellion? Unlike the aristocratic family, the soldiers They just want to get what they deserve. The court is too harsh and chilling to them. The aristocratic family is different. What the aristocratic family wants is interests and rights to satisfy their insatiable greed.
Just like the Zhao family, if Lao Ba tries his best to suppress the Zhao family after coming to power, the Zhao family might also rebel against Zhou Tianfeng.
It didn't suppress the Zhao family, but it also inadvertently violated the interests of other aristocratic families, so everything is easier to understand.
Han You didn't know what else he could do. He didn't understand the battle formation. He should arrest the aristocratic families who secretly took refuge in Zhou Tianfeng. There was no list.
Just when Han You wanted to sleep for a while, no one walked into the military tent without warning. It was Tang Qingfeng.
Tang Qingfeng, who was wearing a white shirt, said coldly: "During the day, did General Lu really go to Liunan to arrest the Zhang family?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Didn't Old Master Duan say that the rebels went to some school to study, and their surname is Zhang, so they must be one of the two Zhang families in Liunan."
Tang Qingfeng snorted and then shook his head.
"What's wrong with you if you're not a bird?"
Han You's patience was completely exhausted: "If you have a fart, let it go. If you don't have a fart, get out. Don't think that just because you are a deputy commander, you can be seen by human eyes... No, dog eyes look down on others."
"Do you know who the daughter of the current head of the Liunan Zhang family is?"
"Who?"
"The concubine of Zhao Gui's son."
"Who is Zhao Gui?"
"Zhao Gui of the Zhao family."
Han You's expression changed drastically: "The Zhao family also has a share?!"
"What I'm saying is that even if the Zhang family secretly plots rebellion, they have a close relationship with the Zhao family. If you rashly attack the Zhang family, aren't you afraid that the Zhao family will cause trouble for you? Now that the enemy is facing us, you, the commander of the Yi Dao Guard, will Being so impulsive will only lead to extraneous consequences."
Han You was stunned for a moment: "Are you afraid that the Zhao family will cause trouble for me?"
"Oh, if the Zhao family causes trouble for you, don't think that I, Nanguan, will protect you."
Han You suddenly became happy, and Wang Hai, Feng Bai, and Zhou Tong were all happy.
These people were so happy that Tang Qingfeng laughed inexplicably.
The look of disappointment on Tang Qingfeng's face became even stronger. How could such a ungrateful person become the swordsman of the Yidao Guard holding three military talismans?
"Don't conspire with the bastard, hum!"
With a heavy snort, Tang Qingfeng was about to leave when a weathered Lu Baichuan ran in.
Liunan is not far away, an hour and a half away. Lu Baichuan went to capture the Zhang family with Han You's military talisman during the day and had just returned.
Before Han You could ask, Lu Baichuan was full of complaints: "No one told me that the Zhang family actually had six hundred private soldiers, each with a sword."
Tang Qingfeng blurted out: "Is the Zhang family really rebelling?"
"It's the opposite. I deceived them as Shao Yin said. The Zhang family was indeed fooled. When they saw what happened, they immediately turned their backs and ran to the Wubao to make a noise. I brought two hundred auxiliary soldiers and almost The boat capsizes in the gutter.”
Tang Qingfeng cursed: "You know it's Wubao and you dare to attack?"
"Who said that I have attacked by force? Isn't Zhao Xiong of the Zhao family in Tongcheng on the west side? I will ask Zhao Xiong to borrow troops and call those Zhao Jia soldiers over."
"You ask Zhao Xiong, borrow Zhao Jia soldiers..." Tang Qingfeng looked like you were teasing me: "Hit the Zhang family?"
"Yes, I heard on the way there that there is a girl from the Zhang family who is the mother-in-law of the Zhao family. Who should I look for if not the Zhao family?"
"You are so confused, idiot, so stupid!"
Lu Baichuan's expression turned gloomy: "Tang Commander, this general is not under your command, Tang Qingfeng. This general is the emperor's own soldier. Don't yell there."
Tang Qingfeng was furious: "Get out, get out of here. If the Zhao family comes to cause trouble for you, Nanguan will never clean up the mess for you. What a bunch of idiots!"
"What are you talking about there?"
Lu Baichuan was confused and was too lazy to talk to Tang Qingfeng. He looked at Han You: "The matter is done. I asked the messenger to say that if Zhao Jia soldiers don't go to attack the Zhang family, when Shao Yin returns, he will not only clean up the Zhao family, but also To deal with Zhao Tai, Zhao Xiong personally led people there and beheaded one hundred and seven members of the Zhang family. Only the head of the family and nineteen direct descendants were left. Zhao Xiong personally led people to escort him. I will come back first. , they will arrive in less than an hour."
Tang Qingfeng was stunned. Before he could speak, Lu Baichuan threw a bag of silver notes to Han You: "This is the money that old ghost Zhao Xiong gave you."
Han You didn't react for a moment: "What kind of money is this."
"Just last time, after you asked them to kill Zhao Bao, you blackmailed Zhao Xiong for 500,000 yuan."
"Oh." Han You suddenly remembered and cursed: "It's been half a month since it was delivered. Isn't there any interest? Zhao Xiong is a bit shameless."
Zhou Tong couldn't stand it anymore: "Oh, back and forth, you have blackmailed the Zhao family for more than two million yuan,"
Tang Qingfeng's open mouth never closed, his eyes were a little distracted, and he asked stupidly: "Did you kill Zhao Bao?"
Han You rolled his eyes: "Hey, you can eat randomly, but don't talk nonsense."
Tang Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He just said, why is the Zhao family so easy to mess with?
Han You said angrily: "It was Zhao Xiong who asked Zhao Jiazu to move his hands. I said to capture him alive, and they chopped them off directly. Listen carefully, it was Zhao Xiong who directly took Zhao Jiazu and chopped them off. Don't do that." I want to rely on me."
Tang Qingfeng: "..."
Han You happily started to count the banknotes.
Tang Qingfeng swallowed: "You...you extorted more than two million yuan from the Zhao family?"
"I noticed you were looking for trouble, right?"
Han You cursed angrily: "That was given to me by Zhao Tai and Zhao Xiong. I said I was short of money, and then they gave it to me. What is blackmail? Please be careful with your wording."
Tang Qingfeng breathed in the cold air and asked stupidly: "What you and I are talking about...is it a Zhao family?"
"Are you crazy? Isn't there only one Zhao family in the South?"
"this…"
Tang Qingfeng's cold expression changed a bit, becoming embarrassed, cautious, and...a bit like a dog licker.
"Han...Han Xiandi, as a brother..."
Han You shivered as if he was electrocuted: "What are you going to do!"
Tang Qingfeng rubbed his hands and showed a "smile" on his face that he thought was warm but was actually extremely embarrassing and very bad at it.
"Can you...can...can I lend it to my brother...No, no, please lend it to my Nanguan brother...for...use it. I'm short of food and grass, so I'm thinking of getting it from other Erdao aristocratic families..."
Han You was extremely wary: "Borrow as much as you want."
Tang Qingfeng swallowed again and raised two fingers.
Han You joked: "Two thousand strings."
"No, no, no, two thousand guan is not enough, I need two anyway..."
Han You cursed loudly: "When I go out, I bring a million yuan with me. If I open my mouth like a lion, it will cost me two hundred..."
Tang Qingfeng: "Twenty thousand strings."
Han You almost went berserk, feeling that this guy was insulting him.
"Deal." Wang Hai looked bored at Tang Qingfeng and took out a handful of banknotes from his arms: "I've given them all to you. Go quickly and don't disturb my young master's rest. There's no need to return it."
Tang Qingfeng took a breath of cold air again. This handful of banknotes cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Tang Qingfeng, whose face was full of disbelief, was stunned on the spot and was pushed out by Wang Hai.
Looking at the banknote in his hand, Tang Qingfeng suddenly realized something. Just now Han You seemed to have said that he had brought more than one hundred... ten thousand dollars with him when he went out?
Han You's curses and the comforting sounds of a group of people came from the tent.
Is this bitch insulting my young master? Twenty thousand guan, he doesn’t care whether I want 20,000 guan or borrowing it. Tell me, is he insulting me?
Oh, young master, please don't be angry. A deputy general's military salary is only two dollars a month, and a deputy commander's salary is only three dollars. That idiot has never seen the world, so don't be like him.
Again, aristocratic families are aristocratic families, and a wealthy family is a wealthy family. Aristocratic families may not necessarily have money. For example, Tang Qingfeng’s Tang family can only be said to be a family that has been passed down for more than ten generations. It lacks nothing but money. Because of the lack of money, Maybe everything is missing.
