Chapter 526: Attack
Shen An asked those involved in smuggling to surrender.
After these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in Xiongzhou City.
Both the common people and officials, including the sergeants, were laughing.
Xiongzhou is a farming market, and smuggling has been going on since the day the farming market was established. You, Shen An, want to stop this matter, that's not a joke.
Everyone is looking at Shen An's station to see what he will do.
"I thought of Shen Zhizhou, he is a good official! This Shen Daizhao is his son, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy, but why does his work make people feel unreliable?"
"That's right, the thieves haven't been caught yet."
"He just brought more than a hundred people. Where can he catch them? Hey! These days are getting more and more difficult."
"He's out."
The door opened and Wen Xiaozhong came out first. He looked around, his eyes lingering on the two common people who were speaking for a while, then turned around and said, "Nothing unusual."
After making sure it was safe outside, Shen An walked out of the door.
This is not because he is too cautious, but a necessary precaution.
Several Liao envoys were disgraced in his hands, and the Liao people had long hated him to the bone. If they could kill him, no matter what method they used, the Liao people would dare to use it.
After meeting with the Mangshan Army, the group went to the foraging field.
The discussion was still going on. The Song and Liao merchants looked at him without any reaction and looked lifeless.
"This is a game, and the Liao people are forcing us to take action."
"But where are those Liao troops?" Rao Chunlai said with a bitter smile: "A certain person has not rested for half a month, and five people were missing while looking for those Liao troops. Those five people probably discovered their traces, And then…there’s no good horse!”
Silenced!
This is a secret war between the two countries. There are so many dead that everyone is a little numb.
The Song Dynasty was short of horses, but the Liao people listed war horses as forbidden.
A group of officials came to greet him, with Li Ziran taking the lead and saying with a smile: "I have heard of the name of Taizhao a long time ago, and today I saw that he is indeed a young hero."
This is a small talk, and Shen An should respond with kindness.
He looked at these officials and said, "No one has surrendered. Is this because they think Shen can't do anything to you?"
The atmosphere became a little awkward. The officials didn't expect that he would turn against him directly, so they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Even Rao Chunlai felt that Shen An was unorganized, but he could only smile bitterly.
Li Ziran frowned and said, "What does Shen Daizhao mean by this?"
Shen An said seriously: "Today is the last chance, who is willing to surrender?"
The officials stood dumbly, as if they were a group of zombies.
Shen An waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he smiled and said: "This means you have to resist stubbornly... I will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. If you choose to resist, then so be it."
He led the people back, and Li Ziran sneered: "This is still a scare. You idiot, do you really think we are scared? If you have the ability, you can catch that Liao army first before talking about anything else."
Rao Chunlai also thought so. He followed Shen An and said: "Now people are panicked and can't move! The first thing is to get rid of the group of Liao soldiers, and then... I'm sorry for the blunt words, waiting for the imperial edict to smuggle the Liao Kingdom." It’s always been there, it can’t be stopped!”
"You don't dare to stop, do you?"
Shen An was looking at the businessmen, and the businessmen were also looking at him.
"This is a riding whip, a riding whip composed of countless people. There are merchants organizing the goods, patrolling to help cover it up, sergeants helping the tyrants, and officials taking the lead in running... one hair can move the whole body. If it moves, basically few can run away. "
He got on his horse, turned around, glanced at the forecourt, and said, "This is just a den, a den of thieves!"
Nest case!
This was Shen An's understanding, which made Rao Chunlai worried and felt that he was putting the cart before the horse.
"Nowadays, the business can earn a lot of money every year. If the impact is too great, I'm afraid of a depression!"
"There can be no depression."
Shen An smiled and said: "You have underestimated the ability of the merchants. As long as we defeat the Liao army, this place will soon be crowded with people."
"The whereabouts of those Liao troops are mysterious, so I will send people to find out."
Rao Chunlai felt there was no hope, but he insisted with a sad face that the Imperial City Division should lead this operation.
"No need."
Shen An said: "This matter will be handled by the Mangshan Army. The Imperial City Division will keep an eye on those in the market and take action as soon as the news comes."
He smiled evilly and said: "After this time, no one will dare to smuggle in the Xiongzhou Forgery Market for at least five years!"
These words were full of murderous intent, but Rao Chunlai was not optimistic about it, so he sighed and asked people to stare at Li Ziran and the others.
Qian Yi also has a headache. He is now counting on Shen An to negotiate with the Liao people and then drive away the group of Liao troops pretending to be thieves.
"Zhizhou, I just picked it up."
Someone sent a helmet. Qian Yi looked at it and cursed angrily: "This is something from the Liao army. What a thief! What a thief! Shameless!"
After he finished speaking, he found that the surroundings were quiet, and the officials were all looking at him blankly.
"What are you looking at? Can't I curse people?"
Depend on!
Zhizhou, who is usually gentle and gentle, actually cursed!
If this news reaches Bianliang, how many people will not believe it!
But this is Xiongzhou, a place that can drive people crazy.
"Shen Bian had a tense relationship with the Liao people when he was here. Now that his son is here, what will happen?"
This is what the Xiongzhou people think. They are waiting and waiting for the Liao people to send envoys to negotiate.
But the Liao people didn't come.
This is obvious.
It is impossible for the Liao people to admit that those 'thieves' are Liao troops, so they will not come.
So let's talk about the terms, give a hint, and we'll bargain.
There are no conditions!
Not to mention a hint, not even a wink.
So everyone felt that Shen An was in trouble.
What should you do if the Liao people ignore you?
But Shen An doesn't care...
"More mushrooms."
The treasures of the north are one of the goals of Shen An's trip.
He collected a lot of treasures from those merchants and sent them back to Bianliang.
During the day, he was working in the kitchen.
"What's most important about soup cakes? Soup!"
Throw some fermented mushrooms into the bone soup, and the aroma will be mouth-watering later.
"The mushrooms these days are so delicious!"
Mushrooms were added to the soup made from sheep and scorpions, and the flavor was so rich that Shen An couldn't help it.
Put the noodles in, and Shen An stirs them from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
After adding the seasonings and stirring the thickening noodle soup clockwise with the chopsticks, Shen An heard the sound of someone slobbering behind him.
"Wai Zhao is good at his craftsmanship."
Rao Chunlai sniffed, and Huang Chun sneered: "Is the Imperial City Division without food?"
Rao Chunlai said with a smile: "The food of the Imperial City Division is fed to the pigs. Boil it in a big pot and share it. Eat it all year round and you will be full from the smell."
After a while, the soup cakes were cooked. Shen An took a large bowl for himself and said, "You divide the rest among yourselves."
It was a war in an instant...
Although Rao Chunlai was very skilled, Huang Chun and others were accustomed to joining forces and pushed him to the back. When it was his turn, there was only leftover soup and water, but the sheep and scorpions stayed.
"Good stuff!"
Rao Chunlai picked up the sheep's backbone and saw that there was still a lot of meat on it, so he praised: "Thank you for the imperial edict."
Seeing him holding the lamb's backbone and chewing it deliciously, Huang Chun frowned and said, "If you want to gnaw, just gnaw on the leg of the lamb. Who gnaws on this thing?"
"This is the good stuff."
Shen An smiled, but only older people like sheep spine. Chew it slowly and clean all the meat between the bones, not to mention the satisfying feeling.
Halfway through the meal, a country soldier came outside.
He glanced at Rao Chunlai and Shen An nodded.
"Lang Jun, the Liao army has appeared outside Rongcheng."
"good."
Shen An continued to eat, but Rao Chunlai lost his appetite. He threw away the lamb spine and asked, "We should go after the order immediately!"
Shen An shook his head and drank the soup slowly. When Rao Chunlai became impatient, he said, "This is a demonstration, why are you anxious?"
The Liao people wanted to play monkey tricks, but Shen An was not prepared to join in the fun.
This is everyone's understanding.
Qian Yi also came to urge him, but Shen An was taking a nap. He stamped his feet in anger and threatened to impeach Shen An.
He then urged the garrison to dispatch.
There were three Yunyi troops stationed in Xiongzhou, so after hearing the news, they moved to hunt and kill the Liao people.
But on the fifth day, they came back in despair.
"Nothing was found, not even a single horse hair."
Qian Yi became even more angry, and the big sore at the corner of his mouth began to erode.
"There are too many people to find. We are waiting for an edict to send a letter to Bianliang and send more troops to surround and kill this group of Liao people."
This is a life-threatening rhythm!
Shen An glanced at the terrible sore at the corner of his mouth and sighed: "I wanted to rest for a few more days, but for the sake of Zhizhou's health, Shen will take action in advance."
"What's the meaning?"
Qian Yi touched the big sore and couldn't help but hissed in pain.
"Notify brothers to set off at night."
Shen An took out the dark iron sword and slashed it casually, splitting the chair in half.
"Good knife!"
After Qian Yi finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "At this time, I should praise my good sword skills, but a certain person said that he was used to it, so his official career was wasted."
It's hard to get promoted if you don't know how to flatter someone, and it's even harder to get promoted if you don't know how to flatter someone.
To be an official is to be a human being. If you don't know how to be a human being, you shouldn't want to be an official.
"Open the door tonight."
Shen An didn't respond to his topic, because he wasn't ready to help him.
Qian Yi was a little disappointed and said, "This is easy to say."
He kindly reminded: "There are spies from the Liao people in the city, and the sound of horse hooves at night will alert them."
Rao Chunlai felt that it was very difficult to control, but he still gritted his teeth and promised: "The people from the Imperial City Department will keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry about it, as long as no one can sneak out of the city at night, you can do whatever you want during the day."
"Those spies will go and report the news..."
Qian Yi felt that Shen An was a bit arrogant.
"What kind of ventilation is there? What kind of message should I report?"
Shen An smiled, and then Yan Baoyu came in and said, "Mr. Lang, you're ready."
"Okay, let's leave the city after dark."
Shen An stood up and said, "You two should go back each other, I'm going to bed."
Qian Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work... just wait."
This is a good man. He is worried that the Mangshan Army will be attacked in the dark.
Rao Chunlai took the initiative and asked Ying: "The people from the Imperial City Division can be scouts. They are familiar with this area."
Huang Chun coughed dryly, and Rao Chunlai said awkwardly: "Okay, wait for the edict, be careful in everything, and come back quickly if there is any disharmony."
The Mangshan Army was all locals from Xiongzhou, and they also went to Liao for a long time. In terms of familiarity with the terrain in this area, the people from the Imperial City Division cannot match them.
As soon as it got dark, the Mangshan Army appeared on the street.
They wore black armor and carried crossbows and long knives.
One person and two horses, the other horse carrying something of unknown use.
This looks like a long journey.
"Are they going back?"
"The Yunyi Army can't catch those people. The Mangshan Army only has more than a hundred people. What can these people do?"
"Hey! It's useless to eat Xiongzhou's food and grass in vain!"
Someone even asked: "Where are you from the Mangshan Army?"
There is no doubt that UU Reading www.uukanshu.net is a question that is almost humiliating.
Everyone knows that the sergeants of the Mangshan Army are all from Xiongzhou. Even Shen An can be regarded as half a Xiongzhou native. He even calls himself Xiongzhou Shen.
But there are still people asking questions, which shows that the people are dissatisfied with the fear and fear during this period.
Shen An turned around and glanced at the people, then smiled and said, "You will know."
"..."
Amid these questions, the city gate opened, and Shen An led the Mangshan Army into the dark night.
Those people finally dared to speak loudly.
Someone said: "He definitely wants to say they are the Mangshan Army from Xiongzhou... But they are rural soldiers! Useless rural soldiers!"
Some people laughed, some retorted, and there was a commotion in the city.
