one step closer to the end

"Don't cry! Crying will kill you..."

Bai Lirong yelled murderously, and Cui'er hid in Master Yang's arms weeping. At this time, it was already bright, and they hid in a mountain depression. There were only more than 500 soldiers around Bailirong. The rest did not dare to call again.

"General! Let's go quickly..."

A soldier dressed as a farmer ran up and said in a hurry: "No one is resisting, and those who can surrender have surrendered. That kid Huang Rui is wearing the skin of the corpse collection army, and he is leading a large wave of cavalry to search for him." You, we can only flee for our lives over the mountain!"

"Damn it! I really lost this battle..."

Bai Lirong punched the tree angrily, and said dejectedly: "Have you checked it out? Didn't you say that the corpse collection army surrounded Dantu County? Why did they suddenly kill us? How many soldiers and horses did he come? How did you bypass our scouts?"

"They didn't bypass the scouts at all, and bombarded us from a few miles away..."

The soldiers said depressedly: "They are all cavalry, no infantry to follow, at most 1 people, scattered and ambushed around early, but we can't figure it out, how did they expect us to camp in Hongzhuang, it is said that there is a The artillerymen are hiding in the city!"

"Humph~"

Bai Lirong glared at Mrs. Yang fiercely, and said angrily: "It's not that this bitch is tipping the news. If their second wife didn't agree to be a spy, how could they escape Luoyang with their family?"

"You also know that our whole family fled Luoyang, so why do we have to be secretive..."

Master Yang said in a cold voice: "You decided the campsite temporarily. Even if I report the news quickly, their artillery will not be able to fly into the city. You should think about it carefully. What did you see along the way? Has Zhuang appeared in front of your eyes dozens of times?"

Bai Lirong frowned and said, "What do you mean, how could Hongzhuang City appear dozens of times?"

"The same cover keeps appearing on the side of the road, all saying Hongzhuang fine wine, and there are white letters on the wall..."

Master Yang said sharply: "The beauties of Hongzhuang, the food of Hongzhuang, the hot springs of Hongzhuang, and the floats of Hongzhuang appeared at the end, so you stopped the march ahead of time and settled in the city of Hongzhuang that you shouldn't have gone to. He put it in his pocket at once, and beat him head-on!"

"That's right! I have indeed seen a lot of Hong Zhuang's pretense, and the brothers all said that they want to taste Hong Zhuang's fine wine..."

A large group of soldiers nodded their heads one after another, and Bailirong was even more taken aback, and asked anxiously, "You mean they lured me to let us jump into the pit by ourselves?"

"That's right! They call this a psychological hint, and it's also called leading you by the nose..."

Mrs. Yang continued: "I warned you yesterday that the corpse bandits would never attack a city. It is the style of the corpse bandits to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, but you didn't listen to my persuasion at all, and even gathered the artillery together. Throw away your camp!"

"Siege the city and fight for aid?"

It was the first time for Bailirong to hear such incisive words, and he asked with embarrassment: "You are a woman, how can you understand these things? Does Zhao Yunxuan also teach the art of war at home?"

"There is a professional military academy in Luoyang, which is divided into three classes, junior middle school and high school, and Zhao Wang is the principal..."

Mrs. Yang said: "I just went to the military academy to steal a teacher for two months in the name of visiting him, but I have benefited a lot from this superficial, so I will tell you responsibly that the corpse bandits will spread the news next." Rumors, and then attack King Yan's army head-on!"

"What kind of rumor?"

Bai Lirong looked at her solemnly, and Yang Wulang stood up hurriedly, finally taking her as a woman seriously.

"Corpse bandits are invincible, our army is vulnerable, you have defected, those who surrender will be promoted to rank, etc..."

Master Yang stood up and said: "King Zhao used all kinds of rumors to capture the Supreme Emperor without bloodshed, and Wei Dafu is his senior brother. They will definitely buy off the soldiers, return to the army and spread rumors quietly, and launch an attack after the momentum is low! "

"My lord! What she said is right, Huang Rui has been made a fourth-rank official, and his subordinates are rushing back..."

A soldier hurried forward, and Baili Rong immediately cupped his hands and said, "Miss Yang! I am short-sighted, I hope you forgive me for offending me before, and I will come to apologize after I return to the city, but in your opinion right now, What should we do?"

"The [-] army has been completely defeated in your hands. Only by committing crimes and doing meritorious service can we regain our strength..."

Master Yang said: "Go back quickly and inform the King of Yan. Know the benefits and disadvantages, gather the remnants at the same time, prevent them from spreading rumors, and then borrow [-] cavalry to intercept and kill the corpse bandit's infantry. As long as the artillery does not spread out, they will be a group Lamb to the slaughter!"

"what?"

Bai Lirong was surprised and said: "He has [-] infantry, even if [-] are left to guard Dantu County, and there are [-] troops behind, how can I kill [-] cavalry?"

"Corpse bandits' infantry are all in cloth armor. Half a year ago, they were still a bunch of mud-legged people. They only relied on artillery to attack the city..."

Master Yang said confidently: "They have almost no experience in melee combat. Once the iron cavalry rushes into the formation, the artillery will not bombard their own people. Ten thousand cavalry will be invincible. Moreover, they are full of arrogance. It is absolutely unexpected that you dare to kill the carbine." !"

"General! I think this plan is feasible..."

A young general said: "As long as King Yan's troops hold back the corpse bandit's cavalry, we can go around the middle to slaughter the infantry, and after the kill, we can attack from both sides. Whether we can regain our momentum depends on the last battle." Otherwise, you can only go home and farm!"

"Well! To be on the safe side, it's better to get [-] riders..."

Bai Lirong nodded approvingly, waved and said, "Quick! Find a donkey and put it on for our female military adviser, and my little lady. If you can't find a donkey or a horse, make two small sedan chairs." Come on, I will take care of them both for this general!"

……

"How's the battle in Jiangdong? Is the corpse collection army still besieging and not attacking..."

The censor of Huainan Road was sitting in a tea house near the lake, and he laid down a white piece without haste. The one who played against him was the magistrate of Yangzhou. The Beijing officials are in charge from afar, and they only come to make inspections during the holidays.

"Eunuch Wei is very smart. He has seen fraud in the city and has been besieged for seven days..."

The magistrate of Yangzhou smiled and said: "There was an epidemic in their camp, and they all came to Yangzhou to seek medical treatment. They even sent people over to urge the ferry and food and grass. They only brought food and grass for ten days. Close it, Eunuch Wei is desperate now!"

"Hum~"

Yushi sneered and said: "After all, they are bandits from Yeluzi. They can only rob peasants. If they encounter hard stubble, they will show their true colors. But the dragon in Shendu is going to fight, and the war will start!"

"Oh? When did you set off, why didn't you hear the news..."

The magistrate raised his head in surprise, the censor dropped the chess piece in his hand, and said coldly: "Earlier than the corpse collection army crossed the river, the thief stayed in Luoyang to confuse people, let the army leave in batches at night, and mobilized a large number of civilian ships in Xiangyang , arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday!"

"Jiangcheng? This is going to King Ning..."

The magistrate patted his legs with a cloudy face, but an official rushed up suddenly, panting: "Big, big things are not good! The corpse collection army attacked Bailirong three days ago, and Bailirong's entire army was wiped out, and seven thousand people were beheaded." There are more than [-] dead, and Bailirong's whereabouts are unknown!"

"what?"

The two little old men jumped up suddenly, and the chessboard was overturned to the ground, and the Yangzhou prefect was shocked: "Isn't the corpse collection army surrounded in Dantu County? They came to the government yesterday to ask for food and grass. Where did they get it?" Can the soldiers and horses defeat Bailirong?"

"My lord! It's been tricked, they have sealed off the road and the ferry to prevent the news from coming..."

The official beat his chest and said, "The corpse collection army only used 2 cavalry to defeat Bailirong. Now there are only [-] people outside Jinling City, and the [-] army directly attacked King Yan's troops. They also said that they would first break Jinling and then enter Yangzhou. , hug your... Madam and sleep soundly!"

"..."

The magistrate's face turned pale immediately, and the censor also said solemnly: "Oops! Wei Dafu had expected that we would support the Yang family, and has been playing tricks on us all the time. We can't do anything this time. When Jinling breaks our It's over!"

"Are you sure there are only 2 horses outside the city? You won't be caught again..."

The magistrate also showed a ruthless expression immediately, and the official waved his hand and said: "The letter from the son of the governor of Runzhou came to report, only 2 infantry stayed behind, let us quickly mobilize soldiers and horses, Jiangning Mansion has already counted [-] people, just wait for us Cross the river and attack from three sides!"

"Hurry up! Take my warrant to gather people, find out clearly, and cross the river as soon as possible..."

The magistrate quickly took a pen and paper to write down the order, took out the big seal and stamped it vigorously, but there was a burst of applause from downstairs, the official snatched the warrant, ran to the stairs and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty! The next official is acting!" It's okay, the evidence of treason has been obtained!"

"My lord?"

The hairs of the two little old men stood on end, and they took half a step back in horror, only to see Zhao Guanren walking up in a big way, took the warrant and said with a smile: "You think you can fly with bird feathers. You can strategize with the robe, right?"

Lord Yushi said in horror: "You, why are you here? Didn't you go to Jiangcheng?"

"The jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng. I can come if I can..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "My king has always done things fairly. I am afraid that you two will be wronged, so I came here to collect witnesses and physical evidence. Now that I have all the evidence, don't waste everyone's time. Hurry up to the prison car and go to Dali Temple! "

"Come here! Help..."

The magistrate suddenly rushed to the window like crazy, but he was dumbfounded as soon as he yelled, and there were all Jinwu guards in red official robes below, and someone picked his nostrils and sneered: "Jump down, you won't die anyway, save me!" Let's climb the stairs again!"

"Prince Zhao! I was also forced to be an official, please spare my life..."

The magistrate wept bitterly and collapsed on the ground, and the censor also fell on the chair weakly. How could he have the courage to win a thousand miles just now.

"Didn't you all collude with the Shooting Sun Cult? Maybe some monsters will come to rob the prison, or eat you..."

Zhao Guanren let out a smirk, picked up a bunch of lychees on the table, and walked down. The two little old men were quickly taken down. When they came to the street outside the courtyard, they found that their cronies and family members were all arrested. There are a group of leaders of the Sun Sect.

"Shooting the sun cult to confuse the crowd, beheading the public in the street..."

The Jinwu guards stuffed the two little old men into the prison cart, escorted a group of heretics to the intersection, and soon surrounded them with a huge crowd, but Liu Tianliang also took the opportunity to jump out, dressed in golden Dressed up as a local tyrant, commanding a group of handsome men and beautiful girls to distribute leaflets.

"Fathers and folks, you can't join a cult. Once you enter, the whole family will die..."

Liu Tianliang arched his hands wearing ten large gold rings, and said with a smile: "I am the leader of the Money Sect. Our Money Sect is an excellent sect that has passed the imperial examination and approved by the emperor. We don't teach people to pray to gods and burn incense. We only teach people to burn incense." How to make a fortune, buy land and buy a house, if you want to make a lot of money, hurry up and join, free for a limited time!"

"I want to get rich, I want to marry a wife, I want to buy a big house..."

The trustees yelled in the crowd, and the ravenous people were suddenly excited. You pushed and rushed to register, and few people even paid attention to beheading. The leaders of the cult were escorted to the side of the gutter. A dozen heads fell to the ground in unison.

"Ding~"

A pleasant bell sounded suddenly, and Zhao Guanren and Liu Tianliang looked at each other in surprise. The second task of "poverty alleviation" was actually completed. Liu Tianliang boosted the GDP of the entire Tao by himself. In Mingquan County, most of them have gone to a well-off life.

"Okay! The rest is up to the Black Sun Demon King..."

Zhao Guanren walked up a pavilion slowly, and looked across the river from a distance. Across the river was Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang. The national teacher Fahai had been missing for more than a month. I don't know what connection he has with the Demon King...

Chapter 1314 I haven't been a big brother for many years

No one expected that [-] King Zhao's army suddenly went down the river and occupied Yangzhou city suddenly. The salt merchants in Huaiyang were all well-known and wealthy merchants, and their power in the court was entangled, but today they were in bad luck.

"The enemy conspired to rebel, colluded with evil spirits, all participants were killed, those who knew the truth and did not report were exiled, and the family property was used as an official..."

An eunuch read out the decree aloud, and the house of the largest salt merchant in Yangcheng was crying loudly. He was beaten up by the Corpse Collection Army a few days ago and scolded the Corpse Bandit disdainfully. The corpse bandit wants money, but Master Wang wants his life.

"It's not against you, [-]% of Huaiyang salt merchants are going to die, including salt smugglers..."

The eunuch put away the imperial decree sent by the group, took a sip of tea and led the people to the next house. They were all blacklisted by Liu Tianliang. These rich and unkind salt merchants were so idle that they not only provided funds for the rebels, but also lavishly helped them. Cults do propaganda, and if they don't copy and cut all the doors, they have already been favored by algorithms.

"Those who beat and maim domestic slaves will be imprisoned for three years, and those who kill domestic slaves privately will be sentenced to beheaded! Every brothel station closed to solicit customers, trade skins and skins, be fined five thousand silver, the door will be closed, and those who call to accommodate prostitutes will be imprisoned for two years..."

An official announced the new "Law of the Tang Dynasty" on the street. To put it bluntly, it is to improve the human rights of slaves. Brothels are not allowed to become straight-to-the-point brothels. A series of questions, all made in detail.

"Alas~ The thousand-year-old thin horse handicraft is about to wither..."

Liu Tianliang walked the streets of Yangcheng familiarly, while Zhao Guanren came back to this city for the first time, enjoying the scenery that is very different from Luoyang, and the new regulations were all revised by him. The basis of buying and selling.

"Naive! The skinny horse never disappeared, it just changed its name, ladies..."

Zhao Guanren walked into a fireworks and willow alley with disdain, as if he had stepped into the Song and Ming Dynasties. There was no more square and square squares in Luoyang, but all winding streets and alleys like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Without the Tang style, it tends to be more conservative but more fashionable.

"Hurry up and enjoy these pure feudal dross, just take a look at it and miss it..."

Liu Tianliang walked leisurely with his hands behind his back. The brothel geisha only dared to look around upstairs, for fear that the rioters would rush in and snatch them. Fortunately, Zhao Guanren changed into the white robe of the young master. The girl took the initiative to show her head.

"Come here, I'll show you the hardest matchmaker in the city..."

Liu Tianliang opened the door and walked into a large courtyard, unexpectedly there was a woman with a big belly in front of her, she was Qiaomei, the maid bought by Zhao Guanren. I'm being rude to you, please sit in the room!"

"Not bad! Maid Jingxiang converted to money religion, silver is better than Houyi..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the side hall of the main house with a smile, and Qiaomei's mother hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea, and Qiaomei followed Liu Tianliang on her arm, and said, "Well, if you have money, you can use magic, but if you don't have money, ghosts don't care." , We have seen through the tricks of the cult to deceive people!"

"Yo~ the great prince is here, I'm not far away to welcome you..."

Another pregnant woman stepped in from the door, and their random teammate Zhu Zixia, Zhao Guanren picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Good guy! I'll match you with a female assistant. First, she has a big belly. You are serious." Fake public affairs for personal gain!"

"It's called balance between work and life..."

Zhu Zixia waved her hands with a smile, Qiaomei and her daughter went out and closed the door sensiblely, and Liu Tianliang also sat down and lit a cigarette.

"You sent me a tigress from the Northeast, so you don't want to give me a good life..."

Liu Tianliang said angrily: "At the beginning, this woman was well-behaved and obedient, and the one who served her was very comfortable, but when she got pregnant, she showed her true colors. Now she does three things every day, looking for my money, taking off my pants, Fight my horse!"

"Do you have a conscience? After completing the task, you pat your butt and leave. My old lady can find someone to cry..."

Zhu Zixia sat in his arms, patted her stomach and said arrogantly: "This is the incense of your Liu family, and your group of wives. In the future, I will have to take care of all the eating, drinking, and messing around. Today, I just took advantage of the prince's presence. Let him reinstate my father as an officer!"

"Fuck your mother, the salt merchant is not enough for him, go and get your thank you gift..."

Liu Tianliang pushed her away impatiently, turned around and said, "Renzi! Did you hear that, this bitch doesn't help me with any serious business, and just thinks about how to make me pay the public rations every day, right! You put the [-] army If you stay in Jiangcheng, nothing will happen, right?"

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren also lit a hand-rolled cigarette and said with a smile: "A first-class army only needs to give them a strategic plan, and they will know how to fight. If it is a third-rate army, even if you stare at it all day, they won't know how to fight." What should I do!"

"Then you plan to cross the river tomorrow and help Teddy fight..."

Liu Tianliang lowered his voice, but Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "Brother Teddy doesn't need my help. I came here to clear the obstacles in the rear, and to go to Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang. Both the Demon King and the Great Master are related to Jinshan Temple. Fahai Been missing for a while too!"

"It stands to reason that Hai can't be a monster. Could it be that he has turned black..."

Liu Tianliang exhaled, and said, "I'm like watching the holographic version of "Journey to the West" now, which is still at the high-definition 4K level, so I think that if I want to drag Lao Zhao, he is the monkey grandson who subdues demons and eliminates demons." , if we can't make it right, we will put ourselves in!"

"Old Zhao asked me before, why Sun Houzi was not taken away as a mount..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him with a smile, and Liu Tianliang said disdainfully: "You are willing to ride a big horse monkey. If you know, you will ride a monkey. If you have nothing to do, let you play a monkey. If you don't know, you will think you are his son." , the son rides on my neck!"

"Brother Teddy asked Lao Zhao to fly him around, and Lao Zhao carried him on his neck..."

"Pff~hahaha..."
