The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 74 The Oath
The eighth day of September in the first year of the Water Margin World Xuanhe is destined to be an extraordinary day.

Du Yu tried to stir up the emotions of the minion soldiers.

What he said was not unreasonable. The reason why those minion soldiers went to the mountains and fell to the grass was that most of them were indeed bankrupted by the government or the powerful.

There are also some people who are simply too poor to support so many children, so they can only push the younger half-children out of the house.

So some time ago, when Han Bolong, Chen Da and others were cleaning up the famous local tycoons, many poor people voluntarily followed them up the mountain, just to have a full meal.

Du Yu's speech was unremarkable, but it was speaking in their hearts.

Yes, who hasn't been bullied.As obedient citizens of the imperial court, they don't have enough food and clothing to keep warm. Instead, they have food and drink after going up the mountain. The village owners speak nicely and all of them are talents. They like the harmonious atmosphere of the village too much.

Now the master of Dazhai wants to make trouble, and he also says that he wants to fight for a future for future generations, who doesn't want to.

As a result, the supporters hidden among the minion soldiers didn't have time to act, and the tens of thousands of people below shouted in unison, "willing to follow the king." '.

Du Yu waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

At this moment, Qiao Daoqing turned around and shouted to the back: "Carry the sacrifice."

More than a dozen minion soldiers, humming and humming, carried the bound three animals to the altar.

Afterwards, he gave Zhu Wu a wink, and the two carried three cloth bags together, and when they opened it, they were the heads of the three Tian brothers.

Set up the incense table, slaughter the livestock and put on the incense table.

When the blood spewed out, some minion soldiers took basins to catch it, and then poured the blood into the wine jars.

After everything was done, Du Yu walked to the front again, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, lit them and put them in the incense burner.

Then he recited the sacrificial oration jointly written by Zhu Wu and Qiao Daoqing.

The general idea is that the Zhao family has no virtue, and the world is in chaos. Now there is a star king who wants to change the world and change the world.

Du Yu struggled to read this article, which was half-literal and half-white, and the low-educated minions below couldn't understand it at all.

But they didn't intend to let those people understand, just let them see that the ceremony is formal.

After finally finishing the reading, Du Yu took the lead and poured a glass of blood wine.

Naturally, there were people below, and soon those minion soldiers had a bowl of blood wine in their hands.

"Brothers, let's drink blood wine together. From now on, we will have the same blessings, share the hardships, and live and die together to share wealth and honor." Du Yu said.

"Life and death together, prosperity together."

"Life and death together, prosperity together."

"..."

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the echo spread far and wide, as if the entire Mianshan Mountain was echoing.

"Drink victory!" Du Yu shouted.

Behind him Zhu Wu, Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang, Jiang Zhao, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Niu Wenzhong, Yu Deyuan, Shi Qian, Han Bolong and others shouted in unison.

Du Yu drank the blood wine in one gulp, and then smashed the clay bowl into pieces.

The people below followed suit and swore to drink the blood wine.

After the ceremony, the Shanzhai held a banquet to celebrate for three days.

After three days, Du Yu called all the brothers to discuss the matter of capturing the five states.

In the end, it was decided to divide the troops into two groups, with Bian Xiang as the commander, Sun An as the deputy commander, and Qiao Daoqing as the military adviser, leading Lu Hui, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, Zhong Liang, Yun Zongwu, Wu Su, Zhu Jing, Nie Xin, Feng Pei, Lei Zhen, Ni Lin, Fei Zhen, Xue Can and others and [-] infantry attacked Weisheng Prefecture.

The other route was led by Du Yu himself, with Luan Tingyu, Niu Wenzhong, Yu Deyuan, Han Bolong, Shan Shiqi, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Fang Qiong, An Shirong, Chu Heng, and Yu Yulin under his command. He and others led two thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry to attack Fenyang Mansion.

There are also many people staying in the family, like Yang Duan, Guo Xin, Su Ji, Zhang Xiang, Fang Shun, Shen An, Lu Yuan, Wang Ji, Shi Jing, Qin Sheng, Mo Zhen, Sheng Ben, He Ren, Cao Hong, People like Shi Xun and Sang Ying were assigned to continue guarding the branch nodes.

And people like Yang Chun, Chen Da, Jiang Zhao and others returned to Shaohua Mountain to continue to operate and produce military supplies such as armor and weapons.

For the time being, Mount Shaohua could not be abandoned, but Du Yu was not worried about the imperial court's actions after the Huazhou incident, because at this time, the Liangshanbo army had already marched northward and was planning to attack Daming Mansion, one of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty.

Someone was pulling the court's hatred in front, of course he took advantage of this golden opportunity, seized the time to export, and grabbed more territory.

Let's talk about Bian Xiang first, with [-] soldiers and dozens of generals, he went down the mountain and went straight to Qinyuan County, and came to camp three miles outside the county.

The magistrate of Qinyuan County has been an official for many years, and he only knows how to search places on weekdays, and he has seen such scenes there.

When I saw the 2-strong army with spears like a forest, I was scared out of my wits, and my legs were shaking like chaff.

The county lieutenant, county magistrate, Dutou, and Ma Bujun all gathered together in the yamen, but whoever said the way to retreat from the enemy would all keep their heads in silence.

Fang County Magistrate had no choice but to speak up by himself, and said: "Colleagues, why should the enemy come up with a way to defend the city now? Our family property is all in the city. Could it be that everyone doesn't want it anymore?"

Captain Zhang curled his lips, and said, "Lord Fang, you are speaking lightly. We know that there are at least 500 rebels outside, and there are only so many soldiers and horses in the city. There are only [-] people on the roster. What do you want me to take?" Defend the city."

"Isn't there still 500 people, let's send someone to the state capital for help immediately. As long as we can guard for a few days, I believe the prefect will come to rescue." Fang County Magistrate said.

"Lord Fang, what I said is that there are 500 people on the roster," Zhang Xianwei said.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean by this?" County Magistrate Fang asked.

Zhang Xianwei sneered, and said: "Excluding those who spend money to get a name, then remove those old and weak, and then remove those who only know how to farm and do farm work, 500 people can stand on the top of the city without shaking. Mr. Fang is willing to defend the city, and I hand over the military power."

"This..., what to do." The magistrate Fang wanted to say something at first, but then he thought that he still had a few distant relatives who were in the Xiang army to make up their names to receive a military salary, but they had never been in a military camp before. He has nothing to say.

"If you want to defend the city, you can only call the powerful households in the city, and let them send servants and guards there, maybe they can last for two days." Zhang Xianwei said.

"A few days is better than abandoning the city. I hope the prefect can send troops to rescue the siege as soon as possible." Fang County Magistrate said.

"Master Fang is in charge of this matter. When all the servants and courtyard guards have assembled, they will come to find me." After Zhang Xianwei said, he got up and left without giving him any face.

Magistrate Fang opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

He didn't want to give up searching for the family business he had accumulated over more than ten years, so he could only ask his subordinates to 'invite' all the rich and powerful households in the county to study the matter of defending the city.

But Zhang Xianwei was unhappy when he returned home.

At this time, his family was in chaos, and several wives and concubines were crying for fear that they would end up penniless and killed on the spot after the city was destroyed.

"Master, you have an idea. Don't forget, Lin'er is only ten years old, so you can't take risks." His wife Liu said.

County Captain Zhang was stunned when he heard his son's name, yes, he also has a ten-year-old son, who is the incense of the Zhang family.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the opponent had an army of [-], how could there be no scouts to clear the surrounding area, and it was an extravagant hope to go to Weisheng Prefecture to rescue soldiers, so why would the prefect send someone to rescue the siege.

Besides the virtue of the garrison in Qinyuan County, is the garrison in the city of Zhou an elite?Don't be ridiculous, they are all the same.

He didn't want to sacrifice his life for the Song court, the county captain was bought by Zhang's family, and he didn't intend to be buried with him for a position.

Zhang Xianwei rolled his eyes, and made up his mind, he might as well sell Qinyuan in exchange for his family's safety, a dead fellow Taoist is not a poor daoist, so it's none of his business that his surname is Fang.

So he immediately called his confidant servant and whispered something to him.

Afterwards, Zhang Xianwei immediately asked someone to put on clothes for him.

Soon, County Captain Zhang in military uniform reappeared in the county government office.

"Lord Fang, the defenders in the city have already summoned capable soldiers to guard the west gate. No matter how many young and strong your lord organizes, you must send people out of the city to deliver letters now, otherwise I am afraid that the city will be surrounded by rebels later." Zhang Zhang The county lieutenant said.

Seeing him in military uniform, County Magistrate Fang thought that he also wanted to work hard for his family business, so he nodded in agreement.

"Lord Fang, I have a family named Zhang Yong who is quite clever and has martial arts skills. Let him deliver the letter." Zhang Xianwei said.

"I've written the distress letter a long time ago, Mr. Zhang, please." County Magistrate Fang said.

Not long after, a gap opened in the east city gate, and a figure rode a horse out of the city quickly, galloping towards the state capital.
