In the village, fires were still burning in some places. From time to time, soldiers would carry corpses out of the village and throw them into a large pit that had been dug. Another large pit next to it had already been filled with corpses, and another large pit was being filled with corpses.

Some soldiers buried it.

Groups of women were pushed by the soldiers towards the nearby military camp. They probably understood their fate, and one by one they cried out in despair. In response to these cries, the surrounding soldiers laughed even more.

Big.

There are signs of fire everywhere in the houses on the street. It can be seen that this Zhuangzi, which was just captured, has suffered unimaginable torture.

The young man walked quickly on the streets of the village. His face was stern and his eyes were gloomy. He seemed to strongly disapprove of what the soldiers had done. But he also knew that he was a low-key person, and it was not his turn to be the official in these matters.

He couldn't control it at all. The only thing he could do was to speed up his pace and leave quickly.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a large house in the village. After passing by the door and being informed by the guards, the young man walked into the courtyard.

When I arrived at the courtyard, I saw a man in the middle of the courtyard, marveling at the gold, silver and jewelry that filled the courtyard in front of me.

"I met my adoptive father."

"Hope is coming, come on, come on. Look at this rich man from Shanxi, he is so damn rich. What else can you say about a home that accumulates good deeds? I think it is a home that accumulates wealth."

The man in the courtyard was tall and mighty, with a yellow face, but his chin was different from ordinary people, like a tiger. It was Zhang Xianzhong, who was known as Huang Hu and also known as the Eight Kings of Bandits. The one who stood before Zhang Xianzhong was his righteousness

Descendants are expected.

Sun Kewang should actually be called Zhang Kewang. Because he has now been adopted as an adopted son by Zhang Xianzhong, and his surname was changed by Zhang Xianzhong. He has the same surname as Zhang Xianzhong, so he is named Zhang Kewang. However, in his heart, Sun Kewang actually feels the same about being Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son.

Forced by circumstances, otherwise he would not have changed his name to Sun Kewang immediately after Zhang Xianzhong's death.

When Zhang Xianzhong first started, he followed his senior Wang Jiayin as his subordinate in the first year of Chongzhen. Later, this year, as the power of the government and army increased greatly, Wang Jiayin and others were surrounded and suppressed by the government and army in Shaanxi. Later, with the death of Wang Jiayin, his subordinates

Turning into birds and beasts, most people fled to Shanxi, and Zhang Xianzhong was one of them.

After Zhang Xianzhong fled to Shanxi with his men, the morale of the generals was low and they urgently needed to find a place to boost morale, replenish the supply of troops, and also serve as a temporary resettlement place.

So Zhang Xianzhong set his sights on Zhuangzi. However, what he didn't expect was that the squire of Zhuangzi was known for building bridges and paving roads and doing good deeds. He had a good reputation, and the tenant farmers below were willing to die for him, so he was beaten.

It was very difficult and there were heavy casualties.

However, no matter how powerful the rabbit is, it can't defeat the cunning wolf. After breaking the village, Zhang Xianzhong's men suffered a lot of casualties. Zhang Xianzhong gnashed his teeth in hatred, and ordered the original owner of Zhuangzi to be killed in anger. All the common tenants in the village had

Those who were injured were killed, and others who were not injured were taken into the army.

However, although Zhang Xianzhong was cruel and easy to kill, he was very good at gathering the morale of the army. Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry all over the courtyard, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were full of greed, but he still said to the general Ai Nengqi beside him.

"The old rule is to use 70% of the gold and silver to reward the entire army, and put away the rest temporarily for later use."

"Yes." Ai Nengqi cupped his fists and accepted the order.

"Kewang, come on. Tell me about the specific situation of Anyi. Can we fight?" After Zhang Xianzhong finished handling the gold and silver in the courtyard, he thought of Sun Kewang beside him and called him over again and again.

For a man as greedy as Zhang Xianzhong, how could a small Zhuangzi satisfy his desires? Long before attacking Zhuangzi, Zhang Xianzhong sent his adopted descendant Sun Kewang to Anyi to investigate the situation.

Originally, he was planning to attack Anyi directly, but firstly, he had just been chased and beaten in Shaanxi, and his morale was low. Secondly, just to be on the safe side, he wanted to have a place to stay and restore his troops before turning around.

Capture this village first.

"Going back to my foster father, Anyi can fight. I took two soldiers to Anyi and walked around the entire county. I found that the troops in Anyi's county were already empty and lax, and only the county's soldiers were left on the city walls.

Three squads of government officials are guarding Chengtou. Originally, the county also recruited some people, but for some unknown reason, those people have been sent home."

Sun Kewang told Zhang Xianzhong exactly what he saw in Anyi.

Zhang Xianzhong listened quietly to Sun Kewang's description without interrupting. However, as Sun Kewang described, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes narrowed. At the end, Zhang Xianzhong asked.

"Are you sure that all the people in the county have been dismissed?"

"My child is sure. My child has circled the barracks in the county twice. I am sure that that is where the army was originally stationed, but now it is empty. My child also asked people nearby and I am sure that the county

All the strong people in the camp have been sent home."

"Okay." Zhang Xianzhong stood up and said, "His grandmother's. This Anyi is really a gift from God to us. Just when I was about to send troops to attack him, he sent back all his people. How can I say this?

If you don't take what God wants, you will suffer the consequences. You go back and make preparations. We will send troops to Anyi early tomorrow morning."

"Yes. My child, go back and prepare now."

In the early morning of this day, after a night of repairs and the stimulation of the Yinzi woman, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers regained their morale, and their desire to fight became even stronger.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the high morale of his soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

"Brothers, have you heard? Anyi County is already empty. When the magistrate of Anyi heard that we were coming, he was so frightened that he dispersed all the people in the city. Now the whole Anyi is like a naked person.

The ladies are just waiting for us to go. Do you think we should go?"

"Yes." The soldiers were all extremely excited. They had just captured Zhuangzi, and the eight kings rewarded each of them with nearly ten taels of silver. If they captured Anyi, how much would the reward be?

Everyone is dreaming. I heard that Anyi is a rich place. A small village has a reward of ten taels of silver. So wouldn’t it cost hundreds of taels to capture Anyi? Hundreds of taels.

, thinking about it made my blood boil. Three generations of my family together had never seen so much money. Suddenly, everyone was gearing up, just waiting for the order from the Eight Kings.

"Okay, let's set off, son-in-law." Zhang waved his hand with high spirits.
