With Xu Huang, the five of them gathered together and began a heated discussion.
"General Xu, the Zhang family has occupied Yuyang and has thousands of private soldiers. Although they are not elite, they cannot be underestimated.”One of them said.
"Not bad." "Why don't we send 50 elites under our lead to sneak into the Zhang family and capture the thief and the king?" Another general agreed.”
"No, no!" "The Zhang Clan's ancestral home must be heavily guarded and heavily patrolled. Fifty people is not a small number. The target is too big and easy to be discovered. When the time comes, our deaths will not be pitied, but it will ruin the lord's plans!”
After these people were given to Liu Yuan by Liu Ji, they all swore loyalty to Liu Yuan, so they were also called Lord.
"What if we attack forcefully?" The last one calculated,"Our two thousand soldiers have all been on the battlefield. In addition, our lord has been training for days. They can be considered elites." In comparison, the Zhang family's private soldiers are just farmers with weapons. They are definitely not our match!”
Xu Huang heard their conversation and shook his head."No! The lord's intention was not to leak the news. If they wanted to attack, they had to kill thousands of soldiers to achieve their goal. However, it's late at night, and we have fewer troops than the other party. When the time comes, we won't be able to look after each other, and some people will definitely escape!”
Everyone fell silent.
"Eh?" One of them's eyes lit up, and he said,"I have an idea!"”The man stood up and said,"Why don't we split into two teams? One team will attack under the banner of bandits." One team would pretend to rescue the enemy under the banner of their lord when they were young; In addition, General Xu Huang took advantage of the chaos to lead a hundred elite soldiers and quickly entered the inner residence to take down the main characters!”
"Haha, good plan!" "This way, we can just arrest the Zhang family without causing any trouble!" Xu Huang laughed and clapped his hands.”Xu Huang patted the person who came up with the plan in high spirits and smiled."You have made a great contribution today. When you report to the Lord in the future, you will definitely be rewarded!”The four of them were overjoyed.
"In that case, the four of you will split into two teams, each with a thousand soldiers. Move out in a moment!"
"Here!"
The four of them immediately left and prepared to leave.
At this moment, two hundred generals led a thousand soldiers, and each soldier wore tattered linen clothes over their armor, ready to set off.
" Target, the manor ahead. Kill!"
The 1,000-man team disguised as bandits rushed straight to the Zhang family manor like a flood in the dark night.
"Dang dang dang…"
The sound of gold suddenly rang out in the manor, and someone shouted,"The bandits are here, the bandits are here!"
At this moment, the bandits were already engaged in close combat with the private guards!
Instantly, the sounds of battle, painful cries, muffled grunts, and weapons clashing rang out endlessly, breaking the silence of the night. It could be heard for miles!
Xu Huang led a hundred elite soldiers and hid at the side. At the same time, they took advantage of the situation and attacked the Zhang family's private soldiers who came to support them. They took off their clothes and changed into them. Only then did they boldly look at the inner courtyard of the Zhang residence and galloped away.
When Xu Huang met people, he told them that the bandits were powerful and urgently needed help. Hearing the intense fighting, the guards of the inner courtyard did not suspect him and rushed out.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe appeared from the corner of the corridor. When he saw Xu Huang and the others, he could not help but shout,"What happened? Hurry up and tell me!"
"Sir!" "A large group of bandits attacked the manor. We were sent here to protect the family head!" Xu Huang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.”
"How many people are there?"
"More than three thousand!"
"Ah?" The man turned pale with fright and hurriedly said,"Quickly follow me!"”
He led Xu Huang and the other 100 people inside!
Xu Huang was secretly delighted. The righteous path did not have a pillow to sleep on, so someone gave one to them.
That person led Xu Huang's team to the backyard and asked them to wait at the side."All of you wait at the side. I'll go call the family head and the others over!”The man took two steps and turned back.""As long as you protect the family head well this time, you will have made a great contribution. In the future, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!”
Xu Huang chuckled to himself.
Not long after, a commotion broke out in the backyard. Young masters and young ladies came out of their rooms with disheveled clothes and tired expressions, gathering in front of Xu Huang and the others. An old man with white hair and beard walked out of the crowd. The old man walked like a dragon and tiger, and he looked quite dignified.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?”Although he could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting, the old man's expression remained unchanged.
Xu Huang was afraid that he would have to wait for a while before he could make his move. He immediately took two steps forward, cupped his fists, and lowered his head."Family Head, 3,000 bandits attacked the manor in the middle of the night. Our brothers were not prepared in time and are now at a disadvantage. The leader asked me to lead a hundred elite soldiers to protect the Family Head!”
At this moment, someone lit up a lantern. The person who had led Xu Huang into the backyard earlier accidentally saw Xu Huang's face. His heart turned, but he realized that he had never seen this person before. He was shocked and opened his mouth to warn the Zhang family's old master, but his rationality told him not to shout. Otherwise, if the hundred soldiers in front of him went crazy, they would slaughter the entire Zhang family!
Looking at the shiny weapons in the soldiers 'hands, this person wanted to retreat."I should escape first. Firstly, I will leave a seed for the Zhang clan. Secondly, I will think of a way to rescue them…" He was looking for an excuse for himself.
As he thought about this, he used his relatives to block his figure and quietly left.
After a while, the Zhang family's old master turned around and glanced at his descendants. When he felt that everyone had arrived, he immediately said,"Leave through the back door!"
Unexpectedly, a hundred elite soldiers suddenly raised their weapons and quickly surrounded dozens of Zhang family members!
"Er…Er..." Great-Grandfather Zhang was taken by surprise.
"Hehe, leave? Where to? Be good and stay in the house!" At this moment, Xu Huang raised his head and ordered the soldiers to escort the frightened Zhang Clan disciples into the living room.
Xu Huang sat on the main seat and looked disdainfully at the Zhang Clan members who were either peeing in fear, frightened, or ashen."All of you better behave yourself. Otherwise, the axe in my hand won't recognize anyone!”As he spoke, he even waved his sharp axe, his threat obvious.
"Hu…" Old Master Zhang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down."Who are you? How dare you hijack my Zhang family? Aren't you afraid that my son will lead the army to exterminate you?"
"Your son? Zhang Chun, right?" Xu Huang laughed and said,"Now that Zhang Chun has been captured, the location of your Zhang family's ancestral residence is from him. Hahaha…"
When Old Master Zhang heard this, he knew that the situation was over. His body couldn't help but go limp and he collapsed to the ground. He said with difficulty,"Can you tell me your identities? Otherwise, this old man will die in peace!”
"Hey, who wants you dead?" Xu Huang stood up leisurely and walked to the old man's side. He looked down at him and said,"I, Xu Huang, have been ordered by my lord to capture you alive. My lord is the Marquis of Yuyang, the prefect of Yuyang, Lord Liu Yuan!”
When the old man heard this, he acted as if he had suddenly understood. Then, his nervous expression suddenly calmed down and he laughed."So it's that little brat Liu Yuan!"
"How dare you insult the Lord! You're courting death!" Xu Huang swung his axe, but it stopped right in front of the old man's forehead. Only a tuft of white hair fell to the ground.
"Hey!" "I'm sure you won't dare to kill me," the old man said fearlessly. Humph, my Zhang family controls Yuyang and is deeply intertwined. If you kill me, you won't be able to afford the crime! Without me, how would Liu Yuan clean up this mess?”
Xu Huang's expression was ferocious as he shouted,"It's not good for me to kill an old man like you, but I dare to kill your grandson!"”As he spoke, he grabbed a young man and ignored his pleas. He raised his axe and chopped off the man's head!
Throwing the corpse away, Xu Huang grinned. His white teeth reflected the blood-splattered axe blade, looking indescribably sinister and terrifying! The Zhang family screamed in fear.
"Don't forget, you're the fish, and I'm the knife!”
Xu Huang turned around and said to the soldiers,"Interrogate these prisoners properly. Watch them closely. Don't let a single one escape!"”After saying that, he picked up the headless corpse with his axe and kicked the head out of the door. Then, he walked out and two soldiers closed the door.
Not mentioning the intense interrogation in the hall, Xu Huang walked out of the hall, threw away the corpse, and walked out of the courtyard. On the way, he met a disheveled soldier walking over.
"What are you doing!" Xu Huang shouted, his aura surging.
"Reporting…Reporting..." The servant was shocked by Xu Huang and didn't know how to address him."Big... Sir, another group of soldiers who claimed to be the prefect's subordinates came to the manor. The leader sent me to ask the family head for instructions.”
"Oh?" Xu Huang thought that he had come at the right time and immediately said to the soldier,"Go to the front courtyard and inform your leaders that the prefect's subordinates are invited by the family head and cannot be neglected!”
"Yes, my lord!" The soldier trotted off and looked towards the outer courtyard.
Xu Huang strolled leisurely and followed him out.
