Wang Mi's foundation was in Shangdang, and it was from Shangdang that he sent troops to Luoyang. Therefore, Shangdang did not have enough troops at this time, and it would take time to mobilize troops from other places. The most terrible thing was that Zhang Tao did not have the right to mobilize troops.
Wang Shou was nowhere to be found, but even if he came back, he wouldn't.
Before Wang Zhang officially returned to the Shangdang, they did not dare to spread the news of Wang Mi's death.
Zhang Tao can be sure that if he releases the news of Wang Mi's death, those generals and officers will look for his next backer.
Their composition was complex, including Huns, former officials and scholar-bureaucrats of the Jin State, and generals from poor peasant backgrounds. They did not have much loyalty to Wang Mi.
So Zhang Tao couldn't stop Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately took out special arrows and put them on their bows.
Zhao Hanzhang also took out an arrow, turned it around in front of him, took out the flint, lit the oilcloth of the arrowhead, and looked at Zhang Tao with a smile: "General Zhang, I would rather break the jade than make it whole. If you
If you don't fulfill General Wang's promise, I will shoot the rocket."
Zhang Tao clenched his hands tightly, his face turned the color of pig liver with anger, "Zhao Hanzhang, you want to destroy the city, how dare you!"
"You can try and see if I dare," Zhao Hanzhang said: "This Shangdang is no longer the Shangdang of Jin, so why should I dare?"
Zhang Tao didn't dare to try, and stared at Zhao Hanzhang for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and returned to the house, giving an order in a low voice: "Open the warehouse!"
"General, she asked for a lot of things, including ten boxes of gold, ten boxes of jewelry and ten boxes of silver!"
"Give it to her!" Zhang Tao said: "Zhao Hanzhang is a lunatic and has no credibility. There is no guarantee that she will not really set fire to the Shangdang. The Shangdang has more than these thirty boxes of things."
Of course Zhao Hanzhang wants more than these things. Wang Mi must be very rich, but Wang Mi must not be the only rich person in this city.
Zhao Hanzhang had made inquiries before coming and handed the list to Yuan Li, "Don't kill or hurt anyone, just go and sit down and ask for more military expenses and food."
Yuan Li understood and agreed.
"Wait a minute," Zhao Hanzhang stopped him, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Take Erlang with you."
She glanced at him and said: "Yuan Li, don't let my brother teach you bad things."
Yuan Li was stunned and bowed his head in response.
He quietly left with a group of people.
Ten boxes of jewels are easy to get, and ten boxes of silver are not difficult to get, but ten boxes of gold are difficult.
Zhang Tao also stuffed some gold items into the box, but found that it was still not enough, so he could only close his eyes tightly and gave Zhao Hanzhang to replace them with silver and copper coins.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind either. She watched them carry out the box and asked Zeng Yue to check it. After making sure that the bottom part was consistent with the top part, she smiled at Zhang Tao and said, "I also asked General Zhang to prepare ten carriages for me. I came in a hurry.
Forgot to pick up the car."
Zhang Tao said with a cold face: "There is only an ox cart, not a horse carriage."
Zhao Hanzhang said coldly: "I want a horse!"
"General, Na Yuanli took people to Chang Shi's home, saying that he wanted to raise food and grass for the Jin State."
The party chief, Shi, was the younger brother of the former governor and Wang Mi, whom the Jin ministers had taken refuge with. Zhang Tao immediately turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him with a cold face.
Zhang Tao endured the humiliation and said: "Give it to her!"
Someone immediately went to prepare the carriage.
The gold was exchanged for a lot of silver and copper coins. The silver didn't occupy much space, but the copper coins were packed in sack after sack, loading several carts.
Zhang Tao and the others specially chose thin and old horses to come over. Zhao Hanzhang waited for them to load the cart and hitch them on before he said domineeringly: "This horse is a bad horse. I don't want it. I want a good horse of the highest quality."
"You, Zhao Hanzhang, don't push yourself too far."
Zhao Hanzhang asked with a smile: "So what if I just push the envelope?"
She sat on the horse, leaned forward, looked at him with interest and said: "I found that General Wang is really rich. He deserves to be a general who has been fighting for many years. These things were all stolen from the people of Jin Kingdom, right?"
The counselor on the side was the first to react. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Tao and said, "She is giving Yuan Li time to leave. General, Yuan Li has already gone to three families. The scout just reported that he is going to the Zhang family."
The Zhang family is the Zhang Tao family. The rich and powerful basically live in a large area. Yuan Li doesn't need to waste time on the road. He can have a cup of tea at one house and then go to another house for a glass of wine.
Yuan Li watched people move all the things in the warehouse to the car, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the shaky middle-aged man: "Master Qi Kang, my envoy, like the imperial court, will never forget Master Qi's kindness.
, in the future when the imperial court takes back Shangdang, you will definitely have a share of the credit."
Mr. Qi forced a smile and said: "General Yuan, you are welcome. I am also from Jin. It is an honor for the Qi family to be able to help Zhao Jun and the Jin family."
Yuan Li raised his lips sarcastically and said, "Master Qi, just understand."
He turned around and was about to leave, when he saw Zhao Erlang curiously watching the soldiers carrying treasures, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is there anything you like, Mr. Erlang?"
Zhao Erlang pointed to a box of gems and said, "It looks good."
Yuan Li immediately handed the box to him and said with a smile: "It is their blessing to be liked by Mr. Erlang."
Zhao Erlang held the box and said, "But my sister said that all the loot should be saved to buy food and grass for the soldiers."
Yuan Li felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he had done something stupid. Although Mr. Erlang was stupid, he was naive and obedient. He was afraid that this matter would be spread to the girl's ears. His mind changed. He glanced at Mr. Qi beside him and immediately smiled and said: "This
It’s not a trophy, it’s a gift from Mr. Qi to Mr. Erlang alone.”
Mr. Qi on the side reacted immediately and said quickly: "Yes, yes, I gave this to Mr. Erlang."
When Zhao Erlang heard this, he immediately hugged the box in his arms tightly, his eyes narrowed with laughter, "It's a gift, okay, I'll accept it."
Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but Master Qi looked at Zhao Erlang and Yuan Li thoughtfully.
Yuan Li walked out of Qi's house, nodded to Master Qi and said, "Thank you, Master Qi, for preparing the car for us."
Mr. Qi twitched his lips, watched them leave, and then entered the house next door.
He clutched his chest and asked the steward: "How much did they move to the grain depot?"
The housekeeper said with a sad face: "A grain warehouse has been emptied."
"Bandits, bandits!"
Zhao Hanzhang's banditry behavior forced Zhang Tao to take a step back and replace her with a strong horse, and the speed was quite fast.
When Zhao Hanzhang saw the chariot being hitched to a strong horse, he had a look of regret on his face.
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take their things out of the city first, and then inform Yuan Li. She continued to chat with Zhang Tao here, "Has General Zhang sent someone to inform Wang Zhang?"
She reminded: "Wang Zhang was ordered to follow Shi Le. He will be able to detect it as soon as he leaves Shi Le. Do you think Shi Le will take advantage of the situation and take down the Shangdang in one fell swoop?"
He added: "Liu Cong knows that Wang Mi is treason, and he will never give up on the party. So, is he also sending troops here at this time?"
Zhang Tao felt a chill all over his body.
Zhao Hanzhang turned his horse's head and said, "A friendly reminder, General Zhang had better summon troops and horses to join the party immediately. If you guard the party, you can guard the east and west of the southern part of Bingzhou, and your lord's territory will not be lost."
