At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 186 A Good Move

The people in Jinling City on Jiqing Road were in panic.

Before Cheng De led the army to attack Jinling on Jiqing Road, most of the topics that the common people talked about were trivial matters that had nothing to do with state affairs.

However, when they learned that General Cheng De of the Sizhou Army had led troops to attack Jiqing Road, the topics that the people of Jinling City talked about were all related to state affairs.

However, there is no sense of sadness, the only thing is just a kind of worry.

For example, when the Sizhou army came, would they massacre the city?This topic is the most talked about.

Also, whether the beautiful daughter of someone's family will be ruined by the Sizhou army, some say no, some say yes, no one can convince anyone.

These topics, in Bian Yuanheng's view, are very boring and not to his liking.

Bian Yuanheng came to Jinling City from Gaoyou City last month to sell some illicit salt. Seeing that all the illicit salt had been sold, he was about to return to Gaoyou City when he was told by the city guards that Jinling City was now under martial law. out.

Therefore, Bian Yuanheng continued to stay in Jinling City.

Bian Yuanheng was not interested in the topics discussed by the people around these days.

On the contrary, he was looking forward to the Sizhou Army taking Jinling City.

Bian Yuanheng knew that his younger brother Bian Zhongheng was doing very well in the Sizhou Army, and his younger brother had written to inform him that he was serving as Zuo Shuling of the household department of the Sizhou military household department, and at the same time held an official position in the Ministry of Commerce .

In Bian Yuanheng's view, his younger brother has a bright future and is the future of his Bian family.

And his younger brother was tied to the Sizhou army, and all were prosperous and all were harmed.

Therefore, in Bian Yuanheng's mind, he was even more inclined towards the Sizhou Army taking Jinling City.

However, in the past few days, he has been targeted by the guards of the Yuan army in Jinling City. To be precise, he has been targeted by the money he obtained from selling private salt.

If it was his own money that was being targeted, he would not care about it.

However, the money from these private salt sales is not his, he is just helping to run errands.This money is related to the livelihood of many families.But now, the money was being targeted by the guards of the Yuan army, so Bian Yuanheng looked a little gloomy.

The cause of this incident was that a few days ago, butcher Yuan, a tenant of Lu Yuan's family, was drunk and beat his own woman on the street until she was covered in blood.

Bian Yuanheng didn't know that the woman was Butcher Yuan's wife, but he thought it was Butcher Yuan who was bullying her, so he became very angry, thinking it was an injustice.So Bian Yuanheng beat Butcher Yuan severely, which made Butcher Yuan cry for his father and mother. In the end, Butcher Yuan's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, which made Bian Zhongheng vent his anger.

Afterwards, Butcher Yuan harbored resentment and secretly inquired about Bian Yuanheng's situation. He had always known the greedy nature of Jinling City Yuan Army Guard Balubu, so he secretly exaggerated Bian Yuanheng's situation in front of Balubu.

Butcher Yuan said in front of Ba Lubu that Bian Yuanheng had a lot of money in his pocket, which could at least pay for his [-] troops for several months.

Balubu was obviously moved by Butcher Yuan's words.

In order to steal Bian Yuanheng's money, one of Balubu's aides advised him. His strategy can be summed up in four words: use power to suppress people.

Balubu felt that this strategy was feasible, so he asked his subordinates to threaten Bian Yuanheng, requiring him to hand over all the money in three days, otherwise, he would be killed.

When Bian Yuanheng remembered that one day had passed and there were only two days left, he became anxious.

He would rather sink all the money than let the money fall into the hands of the Yuan army and help the evildoers.

He thought that if he didn't think of any way tomorrow, he would hide the money in a secret place. As for whether the Yuan army would send someone to arrest him, he was not afraid at all.

He was already strong in martial arts, and he practiced martial arts when he was very young. The reason was also to guard against water thieves for selling private salt. As a result, he didn't meet water thieves this time, but met yuan thieves.

As long as the money is handled properly, the Yuan army will not send many people to search for him if Jinling City is so big.After all, Jinling City still needs to send troops to garrison. Once the Sizhou Army captures Jinling City, the soldiers of the Yuan Army will be the first to die.

Thinking of these, Bian Yuanheng's mind began to stabilize.

In a flash of effort, the time came to midnight.

The candles in Bian Yuanheng's room were always on, and he leaned against the bed, closing his eyes and meditating.

suddenly.

There were three knocks on the door outside the house, causing Bian Yuanheng to stand up suddenly from the bed. His eyes were extremely vigilant, his ears were pricked up, and he was three steps away from the door, with his back against the other side of the door, and lowered his voice. Asked: "Who?"

There was no response from outside the house, which made Bian Yuanheng's heart sink suddenly, and he couldn't help thinking: Could it be that he met a strong man in the night?
Sudden.

A cylindrical object was thrown from the door and window, which startled Bian Yuanheng.

Bian Yuanheng only saw the cylindrical thing on the ground by the light of the candle.

It was quiet outside.

Bian Yuanheng thought for a moment, then approached the cylindrical thing.

After carefully reading it several times, Bian Yuanheng judged that it should contain letters.

After hesitating again and again, Bian Yuanheng found a dagger from the room, lifted the cylindrical cover, and a rolled letter was indeed revealed inside.

Bian Yuanheng stopped hesitating immediately, and immediately opened the letter to read, only to see that it was written:

Drive out the barbarians and restore China.Set up the outline and Chen Ji, and save the people!

hiss!
Isn't this the slogan of the Sizhou Army before the expedition?
Moreover, this is the program of the Sizhou Army against the Yuan Dynasty, which has been widely spread in the world.

So, the people outside the house are from the Sizhou Army?
Bian Yuanheng thought of the house he lived in, there were few houses nearby, and there were not many people passing by, so he didn't have to worry about being exposed if the Sizhou army appeared near his house.

So, Bian Yuanheng said to the outside: "Is it a brother of the Sizhou Army? If so, just open the door and come in!"

After Bian Yuanheng finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the outside of the house.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and what Bian Yuanheng saw was a young man in brocade clothes.

Then, the door was quickly closed, and the young man looked at Bian Yuanheng.

"Brother Bian, please forgive me for bothering you late at night! I was under the command of the Xia Sizhou Army to guard thousands of households Yang Lian. Before that, I was in Sizhou City, and I met Brother Bian Zhongheng at first sight, and I knew Brother Bian's name from him."

Bian Yuanheng was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "So it's Yang Qianhu, who's been famous for a long time!"

Yang Lian's eyes showed doubts: "How did Brother Bian know that I'm here?"

Bian Yuanheng replied calmly: "Commander Yang, the Juesheng Guard of the Sizhou Army, I was fortunate enough to meet him once from a distance. You are somewhat similar to Commander Yang. I think Yang Qianhu and him should have some similarities." sub-relationships."

A trace of surprise flashed in Yang Lian's eyes: "Brother Bian, you are really observant. I really admire you. But, Brother Bian, you don't have to be so polite."

"Brother Bian should have heard about my Sizhou army's attack on Jiqing Road, right?" Yang Lian didn't directly talk about the matter, but asked another topic first.

Bian Yuanheng nodded: "I think there is no one in Jinling City who doesn't know about this matter, right? Moreover, General Zhenglu divided his troops into four groups."

Yang Lian smiled: "This time, the strategy of dividing the troops into four groups is the general's idea. According to the general's strategy, it is to first take the surrounding areas, isolate Jiqing, and then take Jiqing Road in one fell swoop."

Bian Yuanheng praised: "This strategy is undoubtedly very suitable for the current situation. General Zhenglu is worthy of being a general who has won every battle! The Sizhou Army has General Zhenglu here. It is really a blessing for the Sizhou Army."

Yang Lian smiled wryly: "Brother Bian, do you know how the general said this?"

Bian Yuanheng's eyes brightened: "I would like to hear the details!"

Yang Lian replied: "The general often says that he is lucky to have the Sizhou Army accompanying him."

Bian Yuanheng clapped his hands and praised: "Excellent! I didn't expect that General Zhenglu would not take credit for his pride. He is indeed a world-famous general!"

Yang Lian continued: "This time I came to look for you late at night. In fact, I want Brother Bian to do me a favor for the Sizhou Army."

Bian Yuanheng's gaze shifted to Yang Lian, and he fixedly looked at Yang Lian.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Lian said, "Brother Bian, it took me a lot of effort to sneak into Jinling City. I also came here with a mission this time, and I hope Brother Bian can help me." A favor?"

Bian Yuanheng: "I don't know what brother Yang needs my help for?"

Yang Lian: "This time, I heard that Brother Bian made a lot of money?"

Bian Yuanheng: "Where did Brother Yang hear that?"

Seeing that Bian Yuanheng's expression had changed, Yang Lian replied, "Of course I heard it from Yuan Jun."

Bian Yuanheng was silent for a while: "Brother Yang, what do you need me to do for you? If I can help you, I will do my best."

Seeing Bian Yuanheng's attitude, Yang Lian looked at Bian Yuanheng with a more gentle look: "Brother Bian, this matter is not difficult for you. Then I will say it directly. This time, I want to Borrow part of the silver from Brother Bian. Brother Bian can rest assured, after our general takes Jinling City, the borrowed money will be made up to Brother Bian.”

Bian Yuanheng: "Borrow as much as you want, brother Yang just say it!"

Yang Lian: "Brother Bian is indeed a straightforward person. I need to borrow 1 taels."

"What? 1 taels?" Bian Yuanheng looked a little surprised.

Seeing this, Yang Lian asked Bian Yuanheng, "Brother Bian, is there some difficulty?"

Bian Yuanheng: "There is no difficulty, but I am a little surprised. Brother Yang will not ask what you do with the 1 taels, and it breaks the rules. No, it is only 1 taels. I can still get this money out. Yang Don't worry, brother, I will hand over 1 taels to you."

Yang Lian was overjoyed when he heard Bian Yuanheng's words: "Brother Bian is really bold! No wonder Brother Zhongheng called Brother Bian so heroic in front of me many times. It's really worthy of the name, and I admire you."

Bian Yuanheng waved his hands and said, "You're welcome!"

Then, Bian Yuanheng led Yang Lian to a room where money was hidden. This room was filled with dozens of boxes, all of which were silver.

After that, Yang Lian asked Jueshengwei to remove several boxes from these dozens of boxes.

The two returned to the house to continue their conversation.

Yang Lian looked at Bian Yuanheng sincerely: "Brother Bian, this time, it's really thanks to you! Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to complete this task."

Bian Yuanheng smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about. Besides, I have met and dealt with your general before. Perhaps, in the near future, I may also become an officer in the Sizhou Army."

Yang Lian's eyes lit up: "I heard from Brother Zhongheng that his elder brother, that is, you, Brother Bian, is far superior to him in terms of talent and learning. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Bian Yuanheng put away his smile: "This is all my younger brother's nonsense. In terms of talent and learning, he is the most outstanding scholar in my Bian family. Perhaps, whether my Bian family will maintain a long-term prosperity in the future depends on my younger brother Bian Zhongheng! "

Yang Lian was noncommittal about this, and took a deep look at Bian Yuanheng.

After the two continued to chat for a while, it was time to part ways.

Yang Lian: "Brother Bian, it's getting late now, and I'm leaving. I hope that when the general takes down Jiqing Road, we can drink a thousand cups here in Jinling City!"

Bian Yuanheng: "Definitely, definitely. When the time comes, I will risk my life to accompany you!"

Yang Lian nodded heavily, then bowed to Bian Yuanheng and bid farewell, before disappearing into the night.

Bian Yuanheng watched Yang Lian's leaving back and fell into deep thought.

1 taels, in order to complete the task, the price of this task is really high!

I don't know, what kind of mission is Brother Yang going to accomplish?
After Bian Yuanheng sighed lightly, he shook his head and returned to the room to rest.

After Yang Lian bid farewell to Bian Yuanheng, he walked in the dark night, as if he had merged into the dark night without distinguishing each other.

This time, he was ordered to sneak into the Yuan army in Jinling City to spy on the Yuan army's military situation.

However, he wanted to join the Jinling City Yuan Army, so he ordered his subordinates to inquire about all kinds of information about the Jinling City Yuan Army.In the end, a breakthrough was found on a piece of information at the Goulan site in Jinling City.

Ba Lubu, the defender of the Yuan army in Jinling City, and Wu Muchi, his subordinate general, are both greedy and lustful.

Especially Wu Muchi is even more outstanding in greedy for money.

However, compared to Balubu, Wu Muchi has an advantage, that is, he can do things when he takes money.As for Balubu, this person never did anything for money, and the reputation of the two went to two extremes.

This time, Yang Lian was thinking of using Wu Muchi to sneak into the army.

1 taels is also a huge sum of money for Wu Muchi.

Yang Lian also thought about it carefully, the 1 taels would at least allow him to be the head of a hundred households.

Perhaps, higher.

The final result depends on how Wu Muchi arranges it.

Thinking about it, Yang Lian raised his head and looked at Jinling City shrouded in darkness.

According to the General, the amount of food they had left on Jiqing Road, including Jinling City, was definitely limited.

The limited food is the breakthrough.

It is really a good move for the general to take the surrounding area first and isolate Jiqing.

Soldiers who don't fight without fighting.

At that time, the surrounding area of ​​Jiqing will be captured by the Sizhou army, then, won't Jinling City be easily captured by then?
The general has also made a careful estimate. The shortest is three months, and the longest is six months. This Jiqing Road will definitely be won.

Perhaps, this time he mixed into the Yuan army in Jinling City, the general's intention was to take Jiqing Road faster.

at this time.

"Lord Qianhu, Umuchi's mansion has arrived."

Hearing this, Yang Lian raised his head, looked forward, with a trace of smile on the corner of his mouth, and waved his hands to the back, Yang Lian and his group walked towards Wumuchi's mansion.

The outfits of Yang Lian and his party have been adjusted so that they look like a caravan.

When Wu Muchi's servants saw Yang Lian and his party approaching, they all looked at Yang Lian and his party, their eyes full of scrutiny.
