Chapter 162 Decision
"Boom" sound.
Like a landslide or a subsidence of the earth, the roaring sound exploded in Wu Nian's mind for a long time. He always thought that the plague was a natural disaster.
Now I realize that I was too naive.
If you think about it carefully, there are traces to follow.
It is said that Huo Qubing, a general of the Han Dynasty, sealed the wolf as a slave, but died young. Some people think that the Huns discarded the carcasses of cattle and sheep in the upper reaches of the water, which caused bacteria to breed. Huo Qubing died of illness after drinking the water.
During war, it is common sense to bury corpses.
The ancients knew that corpses could cause plague. So the Meng Yuan people used this poisonous trick and sent people from the Liu Family Fist Sect to take action.
Although the Mongolian people are tyrannical, they cannot act at will in Liaodong. The Liu Family Fist Sect is very influential throughout Liaodong. They move around and pollute water sources.
This is what caused this plague.
and.
Wu Nian and Zhang Jin both agreed that the Meng Yuan people would definitely go south this autumn, and their offensive would be more fierce than in previous years.
First, a plague swept through Liaodong to reduce the population and military strength of Liaodong, and then a large number of elite troops went south to annex Liaodong in one fell swoop.
The Meng Yuan people rose up between the white water and the black mountains, and it was said that the strong were respected. Massacres of cities and annihilations also happened many times, not to mention creating plagues?
Wu Nian didn't think about it at first, but after listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, he felt that everything fell into place.
Wu Nian's eyes quickly became bloodshot, his chest heaved violently, his breathing was like an old ox plowing a field, very rapid, and he was filled with murderous aura that was earth-shattering.
Compared with this vicious plan, what does it mean for the Meng Yuan people to bully an old man in front of the city gate?
How many people died in Beishan Fort?
There were only six members of Li Guanghan's family, but two of them died. The Houjiaji was even more eerie and terrifying. His journey from south to north ran through almost the entire Liaodong.
Wherever he went, there were only four words.
Devastated everywhere.
It turns out that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Not only Wu Nian, but also Zhang Jin, Long Qie, Sky Monkey Chen Jiagui and others next to him were also stunned.
Zhang Jin was determined to fight the Meng Yuan people to the end.
Long Qie even had a grudge against the Meng Yuan people for extermination, and those who followed Long Qie had more or less grudges against the Meng Yuan people.
They felt the same way, and immediately their eyes turned blood red, turning into wild beasts that wanted to choose and devour anyone.
The middle-aged man was startled. His face immediately turned pale and he was dripping with cold sweat. With a grunt, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in fear: "Master Wu, everything the villain said is true. I don't dare to deceive Master Wu."
Wu Nian let go of his hands, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground. He bent down and coughed a few times, then raised his head and said, "Master Wu, I can't stay long, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he hurriedly turned around, mounted his horse, and left as if running away. These people were too fierce, too fierce.
Wu Nian and others did not stop him and allowed him to leave.
"Sir, what should we do?" Zhang Jin took a deep breath and looked at Wu Niandao with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"What else can we do? Blood debts must be paid with blood. Now we are nothing compared to the Meng Yuan people. But we can slaughter the entire Liu Family Fist Sect."
Long Qie's voice was extremely hoarse, like the sound of the collision of sand and gravel.
"That's right." Wu Nian nodded heavily and gritted his teeth and said: "Blood debt must be paid with blood."
When Wu Nian said this, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said: "It's just that the Liu family's boxing sect is not just a group of people. If we want to destroy them all, we don't have enough manpower."
"Brother Chen, take your two brothers and ride on your horse. Go to see General Wei Changqing. If you can't see him, go see his daughter Wei Ru." Wu Nian turned to the Sky Monkey Chen Jiagui and said, in his mind
Wei Ru's heroic figure appeared.
Maybe it was fate that made me meet her at the right time.
"yes."
Chen Jiagui immediately raised his hand, greeted the two brothers without saying a word, mounted a fast horse, brought some dry food, and left Juechen.
"First dig out the one thousand taels of silver in the Tutu Temple, and then we will fish out Zhang Shiping." At this point, a cold smile appeared on Wu Nian's lips.
"Our manpower is not enough to attack the Liu family's fists, but it is enough to attack the Zhang family. Besides, Zhang Shiping said that his family was under control. But are all the guards of the Zhang family Meng Yuan people? I don't think so.
We took him by surprise and attacked him when he was not prepared. We killed Qian Guangyuan first to vent our anger."
"yes."
Zhang Jin and Long Qie were also quick and tidy, without any sloppiness. Immediately, Long Qie took charge of the perimeter security. Wu Nian and Zhang Jin, together with more than a dozen people, found hoes and shovels and entered the ruined temple.
In the lobby of the Earth Temple, there is a clay statue with only half of it left. In front of the statue, there are pieces of stone slabs. Judging from the thick dust on the stone slabs, no one would have guessed that there are thousands of things buried underneath.
Two pieces of silver.
Everyone, including Wu Nian, started working together and lifted the stone slab first.
Yinzi didn't see it, he ate a lot of dust, and there were a few fat mice, squeaking and scurrying around.
"Bah." Wu Nian opened his mouth and spat, then waved his hoe and started digging into the soil. They dug about two meters deep before they found a box.
It took a lot of effort to get the box up. Wu Nian saw that it was not locked, so he reached out and opened the lid, revealing countless large silver ingots arranged neatly.
Wu Nian closed the lid and worked with others to transport the box out of the ruined temple and put it on the baggage cart. He held the saddle with both hands, jumped onto the horse vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Let's go."
"drive!"
Everyone, riding horses and walking, walked together towards Dongyuan City. There was a fire burning in their hearts, a fire that would not be extinguished until the dead branches and leaves were burned.
Dongyuan City, Zhang Mansion.
In the study room.
Zhang Shiping sat at his desk and wrote the account book. After he finished writing, he dried the ink first, then put away the account book and handed it to Qian Guangyuan.
"Mr. Qian, here are the account books for this month. Please take a look at them."
Zhang Shiping's attitude was quite respectful.
"Um."
Qian Guangyuan hummed, stretched out his hand to take the account book, sat down on a chair beside him, and slowly began to look at it. The more he looked at it, the happier he became.
"As expected of Mr. Zhang, he is really good at doing business. This month's profit has increased a bit compared to last month."
Qian Guangyuan raised his head, gave Zhang Shiping a thumbs up and praised him.
"I don't dare. It's all because of Mr. Qian's good guidance." Zhang Shiping shook his head and said a little flatteringly.
"Haha." Qian Guangyuan laughed, quite proudly, and continued to look down at the account books.
The Mongolian and Yuan people attack Liaodong every year, but both sides need trade. The Mongolian and Yuan people need to export their sea greens, dongzhu, precious furs, Korean ginseng, etc. in exchange for silver or supplies.
In the past, part of the profits were eaten by big businessmen like Zhang Shiping.
Now the Meng Yuan people went directly to the throne and took control of Zhang Shiping. They refused to give up any benefits and accepted everything according to the order.
Qian Guangyuan quickly finished reading the account books, smiled, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table next to him, took a sip of tea, and said happily: "What are the uses of sea green, dongzhu, ginseng, and Korean ginseng?"
"Only the iron ore, food, craftsmen, weapons, etc. in the south are the materials needed for the war."
"The people of Chu used these materials in exchange for things like Haidongqing and Dongzhu. How could they not fail?"
"It won't take long. We can capture Liaodong, and then break through Shanhaiguan and invade the capital of Chu. The day when we take control of the Central Plains is not far away."
When Qian Guangyuan finished speaking, his face showed an almost sickly red light, his voice was resonant, and his expression was full of expectation and pride.
