Chapter 223 Beard Comes
"Did you come out?" Yun Haoshen was drinking tea, new tea from Sichuan.Yunhao was fried for a while, not as good as later generations, but better than those oily soups.The tea soup is golden and yellow, and you can tell it is a good thing at a glance.

"Hey...! My Mohist family has pretended to be a Taoist priest for so many years, so I don't have any background, how can I mess around! It's just a little girl, it's no trouble." Yu Lao is a self-professed bastard. Take a sip.This pot of tea soup is finished!

"Bring it?" Yun Hao stretched out his hand.

"What?" Old Yu stared at Yun Hao pretending to be confused.

"Confession!"

"Oh, take two thousand coins in exchange." Old God Yu took another sip of the tea soup.

Yun Hao looked around suspiciously, but this time there was no maid or servant beside him.There isn't even a ghost, is this old guy addicted to playing?
"I really need two thousand guan. A group of Mohist disciples came from Sichuan. I have to prepare some money and food for them, and at least I have to have a house to live in. Even the old and the young have 200 people. Two thousand guan is the most Bottom line. You have pretended to be a Taoist for so many years, you can’t let us come to Guanzhong to eat chaff and swallow vegetables!” The old Yu waved his hands helplessly at Yunhao, expressing that he was also very helpless.

"Do you still have disciples in Shuzhong?" It was the first time Yun Hao heard that this old guy still had influence in Shuzhong.It's really his mother's tricky rabbit's three caves. It is estimated that the Li family is doing well in Guanzhong and wants the whole family to come to Guanzhong.In the troubled times, there are not many people who can see that the Li family can conquer the world.

"Of course, you don't think we only have these kittens. In Sichuan, we still have inheritance."

"Pull it down! It's a huge sect, so mixed up to the point where there are only more than 200 people, old and young, and they are ashamed to talk about inheritance. If they don't come out of the mountain, it will be lost in a few generations. I will definitely take care of what you said, 200 people is not a big deal. In the future, if we want to set up a college, we can’t just teach a few people. At that time, all those who are capable will come to the college, and there will be a salary for teaching. Although we can’t be rich and powerful, a well-off family is still fine. of.

It's not urgent, we won't live in Hu County for too long.At most, we will move to Chang'an City by the beginning of spring next year.Just now news came back from Xizuo that the soldiers of Xiliu Camp were packing their luggage.The luggage had already gone to Chang'an in advance, and the garrison in Chang'an city left the city overnight and went north.

Everything shows that Tang Gong has gone south. As long as he crosses the Fenshui River, Chang'an is at his fingertips.Just wait, the better days are not far away.When it comes to war, all kinds of equipment are inseparable.Just watch, maybe many of you will enter the general prison, and then the name of a big prison will not be able to escape. "

"You kid is easy to say, I really believe your evil. Well, this is a confession. The court agents in Hu County are all here, and there is a Zhuangzi outside the city. That is the base for the agents to send messages That's all the old man asked." Yu Lao arched his hands, holding the teapot and drinking tea "呵切" "呵念".

The imperial court in Huxian County suffered a catastrophe, after the city gate was closed.The ferocious army soldiers searched from house to house, and the screams of the county magistrates were endless.Li Shentong's subordinates will definitely put these secret workers in a life-or-death dilemma.

A group of cavalry rushed to attack Zhuangzi outside the city. Yun Hao reckoned that the gang would only get away with it, and there should be few survivors left.

Early the next morning, Li Shentong appeared in the dining hall with red eyes.Seeing Yun Hao and Li Xiuning having breakfast, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and waited for the maid to serve the food.

"I'm talking about the chief manager. You're covered in blood early in the morning. You should wash up before eating. Don't tell me that piece of ashes is brain matter. How can we eat?" Yun Hao put down his chopsticks to express his dissatisfaction.

"Hey! You're really capable, the imperial court in the city was uprooted overnight. Some guys wanted to escape in the dark, but they were nailed to the city wall alive by eight oxen crossbows. If you don't open the city gate today, some remnants will slip away Damn it, who would have thought that these bastards dug such a long tunnel. Some of them still lead to the outside of the city. If Hu County is besieged, these tunnels will probably become the passage for the enemy to attack. Just think about it. Creepy."

"Since ancient times, when defending a city, one has been afraid of cooperating with the outside. In fact, as long as the city wall is held firmly, there are not many methods that the enemy can use, unless it is filled with people. This is the reason why Sun Tzu said that the army should attack the city and attack the city. "Li Xiuning seems to be reading military books recently, and she always quotes classics when she speaks.

"Young Master's words are reasonable. The most feared thing for defending the city is the instability of the rear. If the city is stable, the city cannot be captured unless the enemy's corpses are piled up as high as the city wall. In the battle of Liaodong, Yu Wenshu was in the fortified city. He was dragged down to the point of running out of food and grass. Otherwise, do you think that the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty was made of mud? They were defeated so easily?
Now we have enough troops and plenty of food and grass.Even if Qu Tutong came to attack, I would not be afraid of him.After delaying him for a month or two, the eldest brother will be able to enter the Guanzhong. "Li Shentong didn't sleep all night, and his spirit was still so excited. The Li family is destined to belong to the Li family and will soon become a member of the royal family. How can you make him not excited.

"It's impossible for the imperial army to come, yesterday's news report. Li Jing in Xiliu Camp is preparing to withdraw, and Qu Tutong in Chang'an City seems to be going north to Fenshui to fight against the lord. The imperial court can't take care of us for the time being!" Yun Hao wiped his face. Wiping his mouth, Li Shentong has always given up his life when eating.Especially seeing the steamed stuffed buns is simply not enough, I wish I could eat all the steamed stuffed buns.Comparing with such a big eater, Yun Hao decided to eat another basket.

"Then shall we attack Chang'an, at least disturb Qu Tutong so that he can't concentrate on carrying it on his back." Li Xiuning has some experience in reading military books these days, and he knows to follow and chase.

"No way! We killed the bearded boss, and now the younger brother is coming to avenge him. I don't think it will arrive today, but it will be tomorrow. There are more than 2 beards, enough for us to drink a pot. But fortunately, they are cavalry, and they don't have Siege equipment. The most likely thing is to besiege for two days, and then withdraw in a loose manner. Beard is attacking the city in China, and they don't have the guts. Unless, they don't want to gain a foothold in Guanzhong in the future." Li Shentong glanced at his niece helplessly.

Catch the ducks on the shelves!There is no other way to push Li Xiuning to such a position. The battlefield is actually not suitable for women.They are too emotional, and often make some tricks that you can't imagine.

"These beards will definitely come, but I've already figured out a way. Don't leave when these beards come. We'll take over Huzhuang after we defeat them. Damn, when you get to Huzhuang, you'll know how rich Huzi is We happen to be short of money and food, and yesterday Yu Lao asked me for [-] yuan for settling-in expenses. This money cannot be saved, and getting rid of Hu Zi and Hu Zhuang is the only way for us to solve our financial problems." Yun Hao resumed Picking up the chopsticks and watching Li Shentong eat is very appetizing.

Li Shentong and Yun Hao's estimation was correct, there were cavalrymen galloping to the city of Hu County before noon.Although the city wall of Hu County is not high, it is not something that a war horse can jump over.The beards yelled for a while, and retreated when they saw that no one was answering from the top of the city.

After noon, I saw smoke and dust rising in the direction of Huzhuang.Countless barbarian cavalry rushed over, so densely packed that they seemed to be able to line up all the way to the horizon.

Pan Mei was sitting on the horse, with one arm hanging and the other hand holding the horse's reins.Looking at the Li character banner at the top of the city, his teeth itch with hatred.

It was these guys who used to use tricks and tricks to fool the elder brother to kill Sui Bing.Then he intercepted and killed the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother is still alive or dead.This enmity, no matter what they have to pay with their blood.

Those elders who hate the holy religion, many people actually object to avenging the elder brother.Pan Mei knew in her heart that she had brought these 2 people.Those who can really obey their own orders will know that the big brother's cronies will deploy 8000 to [-] people.The rest is probably just to see the scenery.In terms of prestige in the holy religion, Pan Mei is simply far behind Pan Ren.

"Second Lord, it's time to cut wood and prepare siege equipment. The city wall is only three feet high, so it's not too difficult to take it down."

"Cut logs and make siege equipment." Pan Mei had never had any experience in siege warfare, and in fact most of these beards had no relevant experience.They all relied on a fiery heart to avenge Pan Ren, never thinking about how the siege should be fought.Now that I'm at the bottom of the city, I think of arresting peasants to make siege equipment.

But Yunhao and Li Shentong had already prepared for it, so how could they be given such an opportunity.Not only did all the residents move to the city, but even the wells outside the city were filled.This is too late, otherwise Yunhao would not even leave a room in the house, so as to truly fortify the walls and clear the fields.

Hearing that wood was going to be cut for siege equipment, the beards immediately scattered.Find the right thing to make a siege implement.

"Second Master, what do you think that is?" Pan Mei was naturally not required to do such a job as making siege equipment.He took more than 2000 people to patrol around the city wall of Hu County, wanting to see where the city wall is suitable for attack.Anyway, the crossbow arrows in the city couldn't shoot that far, so Pan Mei and Pan Ren's confidantes pointed at the county seat of Hu County.

Suddenly, a corpse was hoisted from the flagpole at the top of the city.The corpse swayed with the wind, and a gust of wind blew away the loose hair in front of it.The corpse was obviously Pan Ren.

"Brother!" Pan Mei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and in his heart he thought that Pan Ren still had a chance.But he didn't expect that he actually saw the body of his eldest brother now.The corpse was whirling in the wind, and there was a huge wound on the neck, almost half of the neck was cut off.

A young man smiled and looked at Pan Mei in the distance, even though he was two hundred steps away.But Pan Mei was still able to recognize that god damn bastard at a glance.

"Are you sure you can shoot him?" Yun Hao smiled and asked Chu Yuan and Chu Xiuhong and his son beside him.

"No, it's too windy today. The distance is so far, it's impossible to hit him with one blow." Chu Xiuhong stretched out his hand to feel the wind, and said helplessly.

"Then that's the only way!" Yun Hao waved his hand, and a burly man with a dagger cut open Pan Ren's robe.The bare upper body was exposed in the wind, and the belt was cut off with another knife.The lower body is also exposed, and the naked body is covered with black hair, like a gorilla.

"Brother!" Pan Mei immediately went crazy, and without even thinking about it, she rushed her horse towards the city wall of Hu county.Behind him, two thousand cavalry also rushed towards him frantically.These were Pan Ren's most loyal subordinates. Seeing Yun Hao mistreating Pan Ren's body, their reason disappeared in the autumn wind.
