What's interesting about history lies in the details.

On the night of October 5, late on the 8th year of Baoda (950 AD), on the eve of the official start of the Tanzhou siege, there are three small overtures that have occurred in different places.

One was naturally on Lin Feng's boat. Lin Feng was awakened by sudden and violent palpitations in the middle of the night, and suddenly lost his sleepiness. He woke up the brothers on the boat and asked them to plan the dangers they might encounter after breaking the city. Everyone stared at each other. The situation is very good now. What kind of major crisis will there be?

Seeing that everyone was not making a sound, Duan Rui raised his hand and said, "Brother, if you think it is dangerous to enter the city, then wouldn't we just stay on the boat and not enter the city?"

Lin Feng shook his head and clearly rejected the suggestion: "I promised to protect the wealth and wealth of the wealthy businessmen in the city. Now it seems that Tanzhou City will be destroyed tomorrow. We have no time and no chance to send the Tang Dynasty Black Dragon Banner into the city. We can only rush into the city as soon as possible to arrange for the flag planting!"

Let's discuss it again. Ma Xi'e, Wang Kui and other Han generals in Langzhou, tribal troops, Tanzhou garrisons, and Tanzhou residents. These people seem to be enemies who have killed themselves, and they all seem to be unlikely.

Seeing that everyone was getting less and less clear when they talked, Lin Feng made a decision: the two seriously injured brothers in Yiyang City, Li Congqian and Chen Fei and other five children were all left on the boat, and he and the remaining thirteen brothers entered the city together, and they would never be separated without special circumstances.

Hearing this arrangement, Li Congqian led Chen Fei and the others to jump into the opponent. Lin Feng scolded them hard and drove them all to sleep.

This small overture took place on Lin Feng's ship and was quietly performed, so it naturally had no impact. Although the second overture also happened on the ship, the noise was very loud.

Shortly after returning to the warship, Zhanzhao Commander Xu Qiong urgently summoned all Tanzhou Zhanzhao Commander Yu Zishi's military proposal.

Not long after, the seventy-six battle boat commanders arrived on the small boats. Everyone unloaded their weapons and entered the cabin as usual. This was a strict order issued by Xu Qiong after the navy gathered, in name to prevent the elite Tang Dynasty from raiding.

Seeing that the staff arrived, Xu Qiong waved his hand and two rows of fully armed soldiers ran in from the cabin door, quickly separated from left to right, forming a circle along the outer periphery of the cabin, and the long spears with cold light were facing everyone in the cabin. The cabin, which was already very crowded, was even more crowded. At the same time, rows of bows and arrows reached in through the cabin window. Seeing this formation, many commanders of Zhanzhu immediately turned pale.

Xu Qiong stood on a few cases and said loudly: "The present King of Chu is unrighteous, cruel and impermanent, and hurts the people. Now, General Shuntian Ma Xi'e follows the will of heaven and wants to eliminate harm for the people and plan for the long-term peace of Chu. Xu cannot bear to see the people of Chu suffer, so he decides to do things according to heaven. If everyone is willing to gather with Xu, he will immediately be promoted to one level and two levels of his salary; if he is obsessed, then we will be enemies from now on!"

Originally, Xu Qiong had been in the Tanzhou Navy for more than 20 years and had a very deep foundation. Most of the Zhanba commanders present were promoted by him, which was also his biggest reliance on bargaining with Ma Xi'e.

Seeing that no one was speaking at the scene, Xu Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Anyone who is willing to follow Xu, please squat down immediately!"

Immediately, the crowds in the middle of the ship were basically all squatting down, with only three people left in the middle and not squatting down. A thin young man said anxiously: "Please think about it all, our family members are all in the city!"

Xu Qiong pointed his right hand lightly, and the soldiers around him stabbed out spears, forcing the young man. More than ten arrows were shot out at the same time, and the man had become a hedgehog. He was immediately exasperated. A commander Zhan Zhao standing close to him immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and declared that he was absolutely willing to follow Lord Xu for the rest of his life.

Xu Qiong pointed to the last standing person and asked angrily: "Chen Kefei, it's you again. Can you really go against the great way of the world?"

Zhan Zhao, who was over thirty years old, was a dark-skinned man. A few days ago, the Tanzhou navy, who was strongly in charge of the dominance of Chen Kefei, took the lead in launching an attack. He asked Xu Qiong several times, but was repelled by Xu Qiong for various reasons. Later, Chen Kefei's words were less respectful. Two days ago, he actually questioned Xu Qiong for sticking to the point of insisting but not attacking. "What's the intention?" Xu Qiong was already so angry that he was itchy.

Chen Kefei spitted into the ground and said angrily: "The bullshit! I'm afraid it's for your glory and wealth? It's a pity that the people of Tanzhou, Chu! I hate it..."

Before he finished speaking, the angry Xu Qiong had already thrown the sword on his body over and nailed it to Chen Kefei's chest.

Chen Kefei roared bitterly: "Xu Qiong, you must die a good death..." Seven or eight long spears stabbed out at the same time, piercing deeply into his body. Before he died of breath, Chen Kefei grabbed the handles of the two guns with both hands, holding his body to the point of not falling down, and his pair of open eyes stared at Xu Qiong.

Xu Qiong trembled for no reason, turned around and ordered angrily: "Chop into pieces of meat and sprinkle it into the river!"

The body of Chen Kefei and another shipboard commander were quickly pulled out, and soldiers quickly cleared the serum in the cabin with smears and clear water, and all the soldiers on the surrounding side were withdrawn.

Xu Qiong Zhenjing shook her clothes and said in a stern manner: "We are all brothers for many years, so we must share the same joys and sorrows and prosperity! Please rest assured that your family is all in the city, and my family is also in the Tiance Mansion. So, like everyone else, I will do my best to save their lives!"

Afterwards, Xu Qiong revealed his plan tomorrow to everyone, and the commanders of the boats took the order and left.

The third overture takes place at Huang Zongwang Mansion in Tanzhou City. The 23 famous and status rich men in Tanzhou City basically gathered at Huang Mansion that night.

In this era, the rich people who can make a name for themselves in a country, especially in the capital of a country, are definitely people with great knowledge. The news that the Langzhou tribe army was tempted by the Tanzhou city treasury and sent troops could not be concealed, and the rumors that the Tang Dynasty Black Dragon Battle Banner could protect the safety of family and property could not be concealed, and the top secret news that Tanzhou City could not be concealed even more.

The fact that the Langzhou tribal army plundered Xiangyin Road for three consecutive days was placed in front of him. Like a drowning man trying to catch the last straw, these rich men came to the Huang Mansion with boxes of gold, silver and treasures, and ran to Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli brothers, rushing to their hands and stuff money into their arms.

Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli were both amused and crying. In the past few days, these people have been like maggots with bones, and more and more. No matter where their brothers go to the Huang Mansion or even go to the toilet, someone may mysteriously pull them aside, say good things desperately, and stuff them with something.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Zhou Qizhi was really unbearable. He got rid of the pull of the accompanying housekeepers of several rich men around him, jumped onto a chair, and shouted loudly.

The huge Huangfu study room suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at Zhou Qizhi.

Zhou Qizhi said loudly: "Thank you for your trust and preference! There are a few words that we brothers have said countless times, but no one believes it. It just so happens that everyone is here. Zhou said it again:

We, Lord Lin Fenglin, always pay attention to integrity, fairness and transparency in our affairs. He will definitely find a way to do what he promised. So, please relax first! In addition, Lord Lin hates corruption the most, so don’t force us to stuff things, we don’t even dare to collect a penny!”

"General Zhou, we believe in you, but the Black Dragon Banner has not seen each other yet!" A voice sounded behind the crowd. The rich people in front of him all twitched their lips, smiling, and their eyes stared at Zhou Qizhi even brighter.

Zhou Qizhi clasped his fists and replied loudly: "Everyone has seen that the city is very cautious and the situation changes too quickly. All our original action plans have been disrupted. Just now, I discussed with Mr. Huang and came up with a temporary solution:

On the one hand, from now on, everyone can move their relatives and valuables that are easy to clean up to Huang Mansion first. Our brothers all carry Tang military uniforms. When Langzhou soldiers enter the city, we will stand at the door and temporarily serve as the Tang military flag for everyone. However, this is just a temporary refuge, not a moving house. I know that everyone is rich and noble, with many relatives and more wealth. I especially limit it: each household has no more than 30 relatives, no more than twenty guards, and each household has no more than three cars of fine and softness. Otherwise, our richest man in Da Chu should regret that his yard is not big enough!"

Hearing this, several people couldn't help laughing, but then, like everyone else, lowered their heads and started to think about it.

Seeing that no one responded, Zhou Qizhi continued, "On the other hand, from tomorrow morning, we will send a brother to each of the four walls to welcome Lord Lin, so as to try to welcome Lord Lin here as soon as possible, and will also send the Black Dragon Banner to your mansion as soon as possible. Are you satisfied?"

"Thank you Mr. Huang and General Zhou!" The following answered unevenly, and the impatient rich man had already begun to walk outside.
