A thousand war horses have arrived, and probably the powerful crossbow should also arrive.
Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly ran over and knelt in front of Yuan Shu.
"Reporting to the prefect, Chief Yuan Fang unexpectedly discovered a basement while cleaning out the Sun family's ancestral home.
There are actually 1,000 elite crossbows and 100,000 supporting crossbow arrows hidden in the basement."
When Cao Cao arrives, he will come whenever he wants.
"My lord, I didn't expect that the Sun family would hide their powerful crossbows secretly. They are so bold."
After hearing the soldier's report, Wen Chou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the entire Changshan County, there are not that many thousand-handled crossbows.
If the Sun family had used these when they were encircling and suppressing them, no matter how brave the eldest brother Yan Liang was, he might have been stained with blood on the spot, let alone take them down without bloodshed.
"Indeed, what the Sun family did is a heinous crime. We also ask the eunuch to report it to the court and punish the Sun family."
Gao Lan was also angry. After all, the Sun family had kept their crossbows at home, and they must have wanted to commit such a disrespectful and rebellious act, which was tolerable, but not intolerable.
"Well, I ordered Yuan Fang to escort and load all the crossbows and crossbow arrows into trucks and circle the city ten times. I want Quan Changshan to see what kind of face the Sun family has for hiding the crossbows. As for reporting to the imperial court, the head of the Sun family
The pulse is gone, no need to kill anymore."
Bows and crossbows were strictly prohibited by the Han Dynasty. So many contrabands were found from the Sun family's basement. Even if the system was refreshed, the Sun family would not be able to clean it up even if they jumped into the Yellow River. They just ransacked their homes. Now it seems that they are exterminated.
It's not an exaggeration.
"No~"
A long convoy was marching slowly on the official road. At the front were five hundred brightly dressed Han troops. A huge "zhou" character on the fluttering flag kept rolling in the wind. These were the people who set off from Luoyang.
Here they come, supplies for the Polu army.
A huge carriage in the middle of the convoy was Hu Feng, the Huangmen eunuch who was responsible for conveying the imperial edict of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. These people had just left Hulao Pass after walking for such a long time. It seemed that it would not take a day or two to reach Changshan County.
Already.
Outside Julu City, about twenty knights escorted a carriage, slowly coming from a distance.
"Wait~ who are you?"
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this group of people, they hurried forward to ask.
"We are merchants from Luoyang."
A burly man stood forward, and the soldiers quickly retreated.
"It turns out he is a wealthy businessman from Luoyang. The Julu Order has decreed that all passing merchants who want to enter the city must pay city fees~"
When they heard that they were coming from Luoyang, the eyes of these soldiers suddenly lit up with a golden light, as if they were not human beings but a pile of gold.
"Um?"
When he heard that there was still a fee to enter the city, the man couldn't help but frown.
"Give them~"
Suddenly a weak voice came from the carriage.
"Okay~"
After saying that, the man shook his head, then took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and threw them directly into the sky.
The few soldiers glanced at the copper coins falling from the sky and ignored the convoy. They threw their weapons aside and began to snatch them.
The cavalry went straight through the city gate and headed inside.
At night, there was an inn, and there were about twenty fine horses and an inconspicuous carriage tied in the stable in the backyard.
In the guest room, two figures were holding a candle and talking at night.
"Marquis Yan, why don't you ask me why I had to compromise during the day?"
The lights flickered, and the person speaking was none other than Zheng Bin, who was sent here by Yuan Shu.
"I was impulsive during the day, thank you for reminding me."
The man opposite Zheng Bin is tall and tall. Who else is it if it's not Yan Liang?
"Haha, Marquis Yan just needs to understand. Tian Feng has a great reputation. He was first recruited by the Taiwei Mansion and recommended as a talented person. Later he was selected as the Shi Yushi. Because he resented the eunuchs in power and the good ministers were killed, he abandoned his official position and returned home.
Home, return to this Julu hometown."
Hearing Yan Liang's words, Zheng Bin felt relieved. He was just a small official. If he really offended Yan Liang, he would just walk away with nothing to lose.
"I know, what are you going to do next~"
Although Yan Liang was very strategic, it was only for war. He really didn't know how to hire people for official duties.
"Time has not waited for me, my lord has prepared a generous gift. I think we will go to the mansion to pay homage right away~"
"Okay, here comes someone, prepare the car~"
There are specialties in the art. Since Zheng Bin thinks so, Yan Liang naturally has no objection. The only thing he prays now is that Tian Feng should be wiser and not get into trouble, otherwise his sword will not leave any trace of kindness.
The carriage ran out of the inn and headed towards the corner of the city.
The Tian Feng family has lived in Julu for a long time, but the family background is not particularly prominent, and it is only slightly better in Tian Feng. Therefore, the ancestral house is not very big, but the door plaque hanging on the door is indeed exquisite in calligraphy, and has the potential of flying dragons and phoenixes.
"What a good word~"
Zheng Bin and Yan Liang got off the carriage and saw it at first sight, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Let's go~"
Yan Liang was indifferent to this and just patted Zheng Bin on the shoulder.
"Bang bang bang~"
Zheng Bin stepped forward and called the door. After a while, he heard a creak, the door opened a small crack, and a man who looked like a house slave poked his head out.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my Tian Mansion~"
The man glanced at Zheng Bin and Yan Liang, especially when he saw Yan Liang, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. After all, who could not be afraid of a guy like an iron tower standing in front of his house at night.
"I'm Zheng Bin from Changshan. I heard that Mr. Yuan Hao is a great talent, so I came here to pay a visit~"
While Zheng Bin was talking, he reached out his hand and saw a small silver ingot falling steadily into the hands of the slave.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will go and report it right away~"
The slave's eyes lit up, and he quietly put the silver ingot into his sleeve, then closed the door and walked inside.
"Zheng Bin, this is my lord's money, how can you squander it like this?"
Seeing Zheng Bin taking action so boldly, Yan Liang couldn't help but frowned.
"Marquis Yan, as the saying goes, the King of Hell is very troublesome. If he doesn't give the concierge enough benefits, he will never report it to us."
While the two were talking, they heard a creak and the door of Tian Mansion opened.
"Sir, my master invites you~"
The concierge glanced at Zheng Bin, his eyes full of doubts. To be honest, he really couldn't see what was so special about this guy, and why he could make such a noble man treat him differently and open the door to welcome him.
"Thank you~"
Zheng Bin was also puzzled. He was just an unknown person. Why would Tian Feng give him such great respect? He couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure it out.
He gave Yan Liang a wink, and the latter nodded with understanding and followed Zheng Bin into the Tian Mansion.
Tian Feng's mansion is not big, and it took only a few minutes to reach the main hall. The lights inside were bright, and a Confucian scholar in his thirties sat in the main seat, looking at Zheng Bin and Yan Liang with dazzling eyes.
"I'm from Changshan, Zheng Bin, paying homage to Mr. Yuan Hao."
Zheng Bin took a step forward and clasped hands.
"Mr. Zheng and this hero, please sit down and don't be restrained."
"Thank you Mr. Yuan Hao~"
Zheng Bin glanced at Yan Liang, then sat directly aside, while Yan Liang stood behind Zheng Bin with his sword in his hands.
"Mr. Yuan Hao, actually Zheng Bin came here to pay a visit to the great talent, but also for other reasons."
After sitting firmly, Zheng Bin clasped his fists again and said to Tian Feng.
"Haha, can Mr. Zheng's purpose of coming be guessed by Mr. Tian?"
