Author: Use your soul to aim

After Huang Shilang's death, Huang Shilang's wife went to Yan'an Mansion to complain but failed and was almost arrested. In the end, she could only take her son and the housekeeper Hu Bai to run out of the wall and join her brother Poisonous Scorpion.

Coming to this bitter cold place outside the wall, there was no one to take care of her, neither food nor sleep. Her brother's village was still full of men, and occasionally there were a few women who were tortured to the point of being deformed by these horse bandits.

She didn't want to stay in this village. She only wanted to take revenge and take back the Changle Fort. She pestered her brother all day long to help him get revenge.

The poisonous scorpion didn't care about Huang Shilang's life or death, but Huang Shilang's mansion was the place where he sold stolen goods and stored the property he had robbed over the years. With Huang Shilang's death, Zhang Zongxian became more advantageous.

The only way to get to Qingjian County is to cross the border wall. Although the guard eunuch of Suiyan Town is honored every year, it is not a trivial matter for a large group of people to enter and exit the border wall. How dare the guard eunuch agree?

Originally, he wanted to lead a small group of troops to sneak across the border wall. The eunuch who was guarding him actually sent someone to inform him that he was willing to let him enter and exit the border wall, and he also planned to clean up Qingjian County with the soldiers and horses there.

They also said that they only wanted money and left Zhang Zongxian's life to be taken by himself.

The poisonous scorpion has been able to hang out outside this wall for so many years because of caution. Now the eunuch agreed too suddenly, it couldn't be a trap.

Poisonous Scorpion arranged for people to go to Qingjian County to see what happened. On the other hand, he made a request to test the eunuch's sincerity.

After Huang Shilang's wife heard about it, she ran to Poisonous Scorpion and complained about why Poisonous Scorpion didn't agree to send troops. This made Poisonous Scorpion very irritable.

Soon the people below reported that during the winter in Qingjian County, Ma Market was crowded with people. There were many more workshops outside the city. Furthermore, Ma Market had a new product, sweaters made of wool. It's warm now. A sweater can be sold for three taels of silver.

The poisonous scorpion thought that the wool on the grassland was like free money, so I could do this business! Then he asked his subordinates how to make the sweater. The subordinates didn't know, but they only said that the county magistrate had extraordinary means to turn the wool into a sweater.

After sending away the idiot's men, Poisonous Scorpion felt that these things were only obtained after the magistrate came, and the magistrate must know how to get them. It seems that he must go to Qingjian County. If he kidnaps the magistrate, he will know everything. .

The eunuch asked him to attack the county seat in such a hurry, because he must have set his sights on someone else's property. But whoever gets it first will get it. No one can get it if the situation is desperate.

Within two days, the aide guarding the eunuch came to visit him in person, still wanting to discuss sending troops together.

After some chatting, the eunuch actually agreed to his request for recruitment, but he just wanted to be recruited under a different name. Poisonous Scorpion was a little tempted for a moment.

Later, I thought about being a hundred households and living freely on the grassland. I tied the magistrate to find out the secret of turning wool into sweaters.

He, Poisonous Scorpion, has plenty of money. The most indispensable thing on this wall and on the grassland is heroes who are willing to risk their lives. With money, he can recruit tens of thousands of troops, and Poisonous Scorpion, he, can also be the king of the river.

But I had to go, otherwise how could I go to the border wall and tie up the magistrate?

After looking at the stupid staff member, Venomous Scorpion had a plan and said to the staff member:

Thank you, Mr. An, for remembering my brother-in-law’s grievances. I, the poisonous scorpion, will be the first to clean up Qingjian County this time. But I have to trouble you to stay in the village for a while, and write a letter to Mr. An later. .From now on, I, the poisonous scorpion, Mr. Wei An, will act accordingly.

The staff member is still thinking, why am I living here? I don’t have anything, not even a maid? I can just write a letter and tell Eunuch An when I go back.

"No, I have to go back quickly. Mr. An is waiting for my reply."

"There is no need to run back and forth. I will take you with me when I go to Qingjian County. Just write a letter to Mr. An."

Venomous Scorpion was not polite to him, and directly ordered his men to take the staff down and ask him to write a letter quickly.

The staff member tried to resist but was slapped by Poisonous Scorpion's subordinate and immediately became obedient.

Eunuch An, who got the reply later, understood that the poisonous scorpion had taken his brother-in-law as a hostage. He thought that this waste could be of some use after all, as long as it could make the poisonous scorpion feel at ease.

It would be best if the poisonous scorpion gets angry and kills him in the end. It also saves him trouble. He is a waste anyway, just let her sister find another one.

Since the poisonous scorpion also agreed to send troops, he summoned those thousands of households to discuss when to send troops.

The thousands of households still felt that they had to send people to check again. If it was the same as last time, they would immediately gather their troops and send out troops.

The people who came to check for another two days came back and reported that the county magistrate had moved both the wine shop and the sweater-making workshop to Changsheng Fort. There is now only a horse market in the county. The magistrate also stayed at Changsheng Fort and could not come out.

Now the thousands of households feel more at ease. They don't have to loot the county town and they don't have to worry about charges of rebellion. A small earthen fort can withstand the siege of five thousand people.

Some Qianhu households began to regret having gathered so many people. With more people, there would be more people to share the money with! They had given up a lot of the wine business for nothing.

But now that things have come to a point, they can't help but take those people with them. So they start shouting that they won't wait for the poisonous scorpion, and then they all unite their troops to attack the Everlasting Victory Fort.

Eunuch An first appeased the generals and asked them to be calm. Then he said that if we want to attack the fort, we must not have cannon fodder? Time is tight and we cannot go to nearby villages to capture strong men. Why not just use the poisonous scorpion's men and kill them after they are done?

The poisonous scorpion can also take credit for suppressing bandits.

All the generals praised An Gonggong for his cleverness, and then they began to plan who would lead the troops in a few days. After being fired for a long time, no one was convinced. They were afraid that the other party would consume their own men and they would not get anything in the end. In the end, it was decided that everyone would go.

It's time to discuss it.

It was agreed that in five days, the troops and the poisonous scorpions would be gathered together to attack Changsheng Fort in Qingjian County.

Just three days later, it suddenly started snowing heavily. The troops who were about to assemble were now demanding departure fees or they would not go on the expedition.

Although many of the five thousand people were servants, they were still in arrears with pay for several months. In addition, it was a snowy day for the expedition, no matter where they were going, so many people took the opportunity to make a fuss over their pay.

Those thousands of households had no choice but to find Mr. An, thinking that he would get some money first.

Eunuch An directly scolded those Qianhu who came to him for payment, and even thought about making them bleed. Do you think I have enough money to loot Qingjian County? Go back and figure out a way for yourself.

The generals had no choice but to forcefully suppress the soldiers who were making trouble and killed a few more who were the leaders of the trouble. However, they did not want to pay the soldiers themselves. After being fired for several days, the generals could only wait for the court to reissue them.

I owe you the payment or wait until the weather gets better.

It's just that the staff suffered a lot. They were cold and hungry every day in the stronghold, hoping to send troops out of the sea of ​​misery as soon as possible.
