The next day, there was still a large group of people surrounding him, yelling and cursing, and this time they couldn't hold it in any longer. News came back bit by bit from the south that Zhao Jin was safe and sound this time, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would show off his power, so everyone just yelled and cursed like this.

Performance is not enough. If we can defeat this courtyard and capture General Zhou Shen, maybe Jin Ye will become the emperor and he can become a general.

Some people began to shout and rush forward, but the crowd was so crowded that they couldn't smash the door or hit the wall. They could only climb up the wall, and then they were knocked down by the guards guarding the wall. They watched you push me, punch and kick, just like the street.

It's like fighting between gangsters, but the anger is getting bigger and bigger, and finally they have to use weapons.

The people blocking the door dispersed, weapons for breaking the door were prepared, and those who could fight and kill from each family followed behind. However, no matter how lazy and lazy the guards of General Zhou were, they were ready to fight to the death with their bows and arrows.

At this time, someone came from Xuzhou. The person who came was a steward from Yunshan Bank. He was escorted by several servants on horseback. Even though he was just a steward, in the eyes of the local tyrants in Pizhou, he was already a man from heaven.

He immediately stopped and obeyed the arrangements. This steward was here to talk to General Zhou.

It turns out that in Xuzhou, if Zhao Ziying wanted to come forward to communicate with General Zhou, it would have to be a few close friends of Zhao Jin, or the elders of each family would come forward, but this time only one steward came.

, it really makes people feel humiliated.

But General Zhou Shen still cared about so much, and Zhao Jin was willing to talk to him, which made people thankful, and he quickly invited people in.

The conversation didn't last long. After the steward came out, he only spoke to Cheng Daqi, saying that Master Jin thanked Cheng Daqi for his hard work during this period, and Master Jin couldn't spare any time now. Pizhou would like to invite many brothers from Cheng Daqi.

Take the trouble.

When the steward sent by Yunshan Bank said this, he did not let everyone retreat, and his voice was not low. He made it clear that he was meant for everyone to hear. After hearing this, Cheng Daqi felt as if he had drunk too much good wine.

His face turned red and he couldn't stand still. The people around him became quiet. After hearing this, they were all filled with envy.

Look, when he took a risk on the day he got married, everyone laughed at him for being stupid, thinking that your incompetent brother would just pay for it. Why did he put the whole family through it? Only now did he realize that the bet was right. What Zhao Jin said was already a gamble.

He was in charge of Pizhou. It turned out that he was nothing in Pizhou. He was just a third-rate rich man who followed the Feng family. Now he is in charge of a whole state.

After admiring this, everyone began to speculate on how Master Jin would deal with Xuzhou General Zhou Baolu. Master Jin didn't seem to be planning to kill officials and rebel.

Despite Cheng Daqi's warm invitation, the steward did not stop, but went straight to Yutou Town. It seemed that he was going to the new refugee village on the other side of Luoma Lake, no, it was the Zhao Family Manor.

After the steward left, Cheng Daqi said that Mr. Jin had already made arrangements. Everyone should stop crowding around and disperse, waiting for the next news. No matter how you thought about it, after the steward said just now, everyone subconsciously

Not daring to disobey Cheng Daqi's orders, they just dispersed. However, Cheng Daqi's own staff did not move and remained at the edge of the house.

On the next day, Zhou Shen left Pizhou with his whole family and his troops. Cheng Daqi followed him with dozens of his own horsemen, and went all the way west into Xuzhou. When they arrived at Xuzhou, Cheng Daqi

He led his team back, but when he came back, there were dozens of well-saddled horses carrying weapons, and there were also a few horses hanging heavy wooden boxes. Anyone with a sharp eye can recognize that this is Zhou Shen

The mounts of the general's soldiers.

Could it be that he wiped out Xuzhou General Zhou Baolu's family and his servants in the wilderness? Master Jin was really a big deal and so ruthless.

But the next day, someone who went to Xuzhou brought back news that they had seen Zhou Shenjiang and his party, but there were only dozens of people walking.

More and more news came back, and everyone finally figured out how to deal with it. Xuzhou General Zhou Baolu still lived in Xuzhou City, and his troops and horses were not reduced, but he only left two horses for his family to ride on.

The chariots were replaced by oxen, and all the cavalry guards were converted into infantry. Zhou Shen took hundreds of horses here, and Jiang Muotou, who gathered in Fangcun, also received more than a hundred horses, and the rest were pulled

Went back to Hejiazhuang for distribution.

Without the cavalry on horseback, General Zhou would be like a toothless tiger. Although these hundreds of horseless guards can be considered brave and good at fighting, these people fighting on foot in front of Zhao Ziying's servants are simply useless.

There is no chance of winning.

And from this time on, Zhou Shen's hundreds of personal guards have been completely divided. Those three guards who were born in Xuzhou have no intention of staying here. Zhao Ziying has offered them better conditions, and someone guarantees them.

, then you can come to Zhao Ziying's cavalry team, but you can't be a servant at the beginning, you can only be a team coach. The monthly rate is half of what it was when you were under Zhou Shenjiang, but Zhao Ziying can guarantee one thing, it turns out that you are under Zhou Shenjiang.

No matter how much you take in your hand, these will definitely be distributed, and they will be distributed by Xuzhou General Zhou Baolu.

Zhou Baolu, the general who was guarding Xuzhou, was flattened and rounded by Zhao Jin. The situation made people lament and cry. It is said that the Zhou family had spent a lot of money to send people to Beijing, not to ask the court to suppress the rebels, but to ask for transfer or resignation.

Xuzhou really can't stay here anymore, but now that the new king has just ascended the throne, and the various factions in the court are trying hard, no one will pay attention to him.

Now Xuzhou has become lively. People of all kinds have reopened businesses, started selling goods again, come here to give gifts, come to apologize, and so on. Although the internal guards and eyeliners everywhere are closely watching, it is difficult to maintain that kind of atmosphere.

The spies at the salty goods store don't inquire about anything, they just go about their business and listen to the rumors.

As a result, a few days after the incident with General Zhou Baolu happened, a group of people came from Langshan and sent 300 well-equipped horses to Zhao Ziying, as well as Shi Pingao, who was tied up with five flowers.

The person who sent these was not even a general under the command of Deputy General Langshan, but a wealthy businessman from Qingjiangpu. He had to come over to give gifts anyway, so this was treated as incidental.

There is no festive atmosphere in Yutai County, Shandong Province around the Mid-Autumn Festival. After Wanli's death, all banquets and entertainment are strictly prohibited. This is only one of the reasons. Liao's salary is the real culprit. There is no county that can recover in disaster years.

It was completely devastated by the Liao Dynasty, the people fled, and even the small and medium-sized landowners went bankrupt. Under such a situation, how could there be any excitement and celebration there?

Not many people came in or out of the south gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were also listless. The sun had already set in the west, and they were already tired during lunch, but a few people were still taking a nap there.

"Look over there, look quickly!" Someone who was sober suddenly shouted. This voice woke everyone up and they all wanted to look to the south.

I couldn't see anyone just now, but now I saw a dozen people running wildly on the official road, as if they were being chased by wild beasts. In broad daylight, besides rats, there were other things in the surrounding fields.

However, this doubt did not last long. The soldiers guarding the city immediately saw smoke and dust rising in the distance of the official road, and more than a dozen horsemen chased after it.

Could it be a robber? This was everyone's first reaction. Minzhuang at the city gate reacted quickly and had already picked up the urgent gong. A group of people hurriedly hid inside the city gate. Anyway, there was nothing wrong at this time.

The people who entered the city first shouted and pushed the city gate open, leaving a gap to let in those who were running away. Then they directly pushed the door open and beat the gongs to summon a group to go to the city to resist.

Although Yutai County is in ruins, there are still many people living in the city. If thieves break in, everyone will be unlucky.

There were no humans who could outrun the horses, but the dozen or so people ran slower and slower, stumbling and stumbling. Some people stumbled and fell directly to the ground. Others didn't even look at them and continued to run forward.

What frightened everyone in Yutai County was that the dozen riders chasing after them did not even try to dodge the man who fell to the ground, and just trampled over him. The screams could be heard from a long distance away.

People were caught up one by one. The pursuers did not use knives, but just knocked people to the ground with sticks and the like. However, the people used their strength and were condescending. When the stick was hit, the people's muscles and bones were broken, and they fell to the ground.

Can't get up.

They fell down one by one. Two of them ran very fast and had already reached a place more than ten steps away from the city gate. But the pursuers behind them did an even better job. They took off their hands and threw a rope from their horses. They could see that

There was an iron hook tied to the rope. The iron hook was hung directly on the shoulder of the person in front. As soon as the person behind him stopped his mount, the person whose shoulder was hooked screamed and fell to the ground. The person behind him turned his mount around.

, dragging the person backward, leaving the person struggling on the ground and howling miserably.

The other man was about four or five steps away from entering the city. The pursuer behind him drew an arrow and shot the man through the thigh. The man who was shot through the thigh screamed for help and tried his best to reach the city gate.

Climb, but the soldiers at the city gate have seen such ferocious "horse thieves", and they have already pushed the city gate with all their strength. When the pursuers came up, they threw a noose and tied the person tightly, but also dragged him away.

Already.

"Do you still have the royal law?"

A leader dressed as a military officer at the top of the city shouted tremblingly, although there were people below the city shouting for help in great misery, Yutai County people would never leave the city, but in broad daylight, there were people killing and wounding people so wildly in front of the city.

, it seems unreasonable not to ask.

The rider who chased him to the bottom of the city turned around and took a look. Everyone on the top of the city subconsciously shrank back from the crenellations. This murderous man's archery skills were very accurate, so don't let him shoot you.

Fortunately, the man below did not draw his bow and arrows, but shouted in the same rough voice: "King Zhao, don't be reckless when doing things."

King Zhao Tian? Zhao Jin of Xuzhou? The one who frightened away the imperial court's thousands of elite cavalry by reviewing the servants? The people on the top of the city reacted instantly and subconsciously retracted behind the crenel, allowing the miserable cry for help to go away, but again

He also refused to show his head.
