Chapter 51 Wujiazhuang

In this way, a large manor that made the heroes of the Green Forest salivate but never dared to touch, Sesame Li actually sent only 1,500 people to beat him down, and was really a little proud. Immediately, the unscrupulous merchants who were full of resentment due to imitation of plate armor became evil and quietly sent their subordinates to deliver letters to Wujiazhuang on fast horses, preparing to see how the offensive and defensive sides fought to defeat both sides.

There was no need for them to remind him that as soon as Zhu Bashiyi and his men crossed the Yellow River, Wu Youcai, the owner of Wujiazhuang, had already received the news. Immediately, the old owner called his three sons, the elder of the clan, the housekeeper, the accountant, the staff, the gun and the soldiers in the martial arts world together, and worked together to discuss solutions.

"It's Zhu Bashiyi!" Old Master Wu crossed his fingers in front of his chest, and paced back and forth around the Eight Immortals Table. "They were probably carrying more than 1,500 people under his command, one-third of them were war soldiers. There were more than 30 scouts, each with two cavalry. Are they weapons? Most of them should be spears. What's more special is that they pushed a lot of chicken buses this time, probably because they were afraid that after the Zhuangzi was defeated, they would not be able to take away, so they specialized."

"It's too much!" Before the owner of the manor Wu Youcai finished introducing it, the people below were already full of righteous indignation. All the listeners felt that the Red Turban Army was too arrogant and regarded Wujiazhuang as an ordinary grass market. They dared to push the chicken bus to move things casually!

"It's Zhu Bashiyi!" Wu Youcai let go of his hand, raised it on both sides of his body and pressed it down, indicating that everyone should be calm, "It was the one who fought against tens of thousands of troops to the commander-in-chief of Wulabuhua last winter and bombarded the latter with a gun. If the notice from the Red Turban Army was true, this guy would probably be braver than Guan Zhang!"

"Buzz!" The discussion below was immediately half smaller. Since Wula Buhua was defeated and died, Zhu Bashiyi's name has called everyone's ears. Among the chaotic rumors in the world, there are those who say that this person is the reincarnation of Maitreya and can easily make thunder in the palm of his hand. There are even rumors that this person has been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, learned the unique skills of Kongkonger in the Tang Dynasty, and can fly swords to capture the head of a person with hundreds of steps. He will never fail wherever he points.

Everyone is a foe to such a half-human and half-demon guy, but everyone is playing a slap in their hearts. They don’t even have a tweak with you. If you use a hand gesture a few miles away, your head will disappear. No matter how good your martial arts are, no matter how many soldiers there are around you, what’s the use?

Immediately, several dead soldiers in the martial arts world turned their faces pale, and their eyes were dodging to the ground, as if gold could grow on the ground. Several old men from Wu also stroked their gray beards and began to sigh and shake their heads, "His uncle, since it is Zhu Bashiyi, why don't we give him the money and food that Sesame Li wants?! Before the guy named Zhu could kill him at home, he could have a discussion. If this really starts a fight."

"Fourth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, You're talking nonsense!" Before Wu Youcai could respond, his eldest son Wu Liangmou had already raised his eyebrows and retorted loudly: "He Zhu Bashiyi is indeed amazing, our sons in Wujiazhuang are not vegetarians. Why do you take away the money and food they have accumulated with just a piece of paper?! The world is getting more and more chaotic now. Today is Sesame Li, and maybe Sesame Zhang, Sesame King, Sesame Zhao. If any bandit leader moves away the hard-earned money from our Wujiazhuang, even if we have a gold mountain in Wujiazhuang, how many people can move?!"

"Then, that" the younger generation gave their face in public, and the faces of several old men suddenly turned red, "Then how could Zhu Bashiyi generalize with ordinary bandits? He can use his palm thunder"

"It's not a thunder in the palm of your hand!" Wu Liangmou, the eldest son of Wujiazhuang, shook his head and responded in a low voice. As the heir to the next owner of the manor, in a critical moment, he seemed far calmer than most of the elders in the manor. "We should use grenades. The guys we sent to Xuzhou to sell pig iron have all found out. Now the red scarf thieves are training outside the city every day and throwing that thing!"

"Even a grenade must be approached before it can be thrown away, right?! Under the heavy protection of a 10,000 army, he rushed to the commanding platform of Wulabuhua to throw the grenade. This, Zhao Zilong, the head of Changshan in the past, was just so brave!" Wu Youcai's uncle and brother, Wu Youde, the old man from Wujiazhuang, looked at his nephew angrily, and was so anxious.

It’s all because of this bold boy. Sesame Li sent someone to ask for “security fees” and give it to him. Anyway, even if Sesame Li is not given, the government will not spend too little every year! But my nephew, who doesn’t know how to be rich, actually said that Sesame Li needs too much, and suggested that everyone delay the situation for a few days first and find opportunities to bargain. The uncles and brothers around me who love money and love life actually listened to the opinions of a furry child and really delayed it!

Now, the bargaining hasn't started yet, Zhu Bashiyi has already rushed to the door of his house with his troops. What if he is really as brave as the legend, he is more than 5,000 men, women, young and old in this village, can he have a way out?!

"Even Zhao Zilong was lucky enough to break out of the siege because Cao Cao refused to let the arrows." Wu Liangmou shook the palm fan in his hand and looked down on Wu Youde's concerns. "The reason why Wula Buhua caught his words was because he didn't know that there were grenades in advance. But we had already made corresponding preparations."

"Preparation, what have you prepared? Just those friends you usually date? When something really happens, they dare to stroke the whiskers of sesame plums?!" The more he heard his nephew talk, the more panicked Wu Youde felt. When he was young, he was not as arrogant as he was. He usually lowered his head on the road. If he had turned his eyes like his nephew when he was young, he would have fallen to death on the road long ago. How could he have saved up such a huge family business with his brother!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have listened to his wife and gave the position of the next generation of owner to this nephew who had read a lot of books. Now, the person who had read a lot of books has also accumulated a lot of arrogance. In this chaotic world, he didn't know how to bow his head everywhere. Isn't this intention to bring a catastrophe to Wujiazhuang?

Just when the evil fire was full of evil, Wu Liangmou said, "If the friends who were dating my nephew were not responsible, how could we have received the news that the Red Thief was coming so long ago? No matter how brave the thief Zhu was, he was just a flesh and blood body. At present, there were no less than thirty powerful crossbows in our village. Hiding behind the high wall and shooting with crossbow arrows, he would still save him even if he was really a Buddha reincarnated!"

"This?" Wu Youde couldn't take it anymore. To be fair, he didn't think his farm was so easy to be broken from outside. He just had never really fought with others and was instinctively panicked.

While he was stunned, the eldest son Wu Liangmou smiled and said, "Don't worry, second uncle. Didn't you listen to my father just now? Zhu Bashiyi brought more than 500 armored soldiers and more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers to fight our Wujiazhuang. It is obvious that the guy Sesame Li just won a battle and was a little proud. Just over 1,500 mobs, the nephew would make him unable to come and go if he had a little move!"

"How can you come and go?" "Liangmou, is your method reliable?" "Liangmou, money is small. Don't bring disaster to the village!" The old men in Wujiazhuang felt a chill in their hearts when they heard it. They held the last glimmer of hope and asked in a trembling voice.

"Ambushes halfway!" Wu Liangmou simply gave the answer without thinking, "Then Zhu Zhe came from afar and was not familiar with the place. We just need to set up an ambush on the road he must pass, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness and launch a random arrow. Even if he is capable, he will be shot into a hedgehog long ago. Are you afraid that he will get close to throwing a grenade?!"

"No!" Before Wu Youde could respond, Wu Liangfang, the youngest son in the Wu family's room, had already jumped out and refuted loudly. "Absolutely not. If you do that, our Wu family village will definitely be in trouble!"

"Three, what do you mean?!" Wu Liangmou was so happy to fight against the heroes, but his younger brother knocked on his head, rolled his eyelids, and questioned him very dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, my brother's plan must be good!" Wu Liangfang was so scared that he shrank his neck and responded in a very low voice, "But, it's a bit out of place. Then, Zhu Bashiyi did only bring 1,500 people. Brother set up an ambush halfway and would definitely catch him off guard. Maybe he could destroy all of these 1,500 people. But, in that case, our Wujiazhuang would have a mortal grudge with Sesame Li. After hearing the news, Sesame Li would definitely pull out all the troops and ask us for blood debts. Although our Zhuang Ding is brave, we can use three or four thousand Zhuang Dings to block the 100,000 army of Sesame Li, I'm afraid, it will be drowned, and it will be drowned!"

"Yes, yes! Liangmou, you are really not a good idea!"

"Little Mouzi, it's not my uncle who said to you. You kid are so ambitious!"

"Hey, I read a lot, and I'm so obedient! I just want to beat, beat, beat, beat, but I didn't expect how much I got!"

"Yes, I just wanted to borrow Zhu Bashiyi's head to become famous, but I didn't think that if I beat the child, I would call someone else's mother out!"

"I said I gave it to you before, you have to bargain with others. This time, I can't fight or run away. What else can we do except stretch our necks and wait for slaughter?!"

The old people all suddenly felt the spirit of following Wu Liangfang and criticizing Wu Liang. It seemed that he was the chief general who brought troops to attack Wujiazhuang, and Zhu Bashiyi was just an insignificant minion.

"You?" When the young owner Wu Liangmou heard this, his eyes were so angry that his eyes were full of fire, and the blue veins on his forehead were pounding. Before the war could start, the hearts of the people in the village were in such chaos. It is not a big mistake for the Sesame Li not to take Wujiazhuang seriously!! People's faces are made by themselves, and they don't want them anymore, so how can they ask for others?

"Well, huh!" Just as he wanted to take out the needle and thread to sew everyone's mouths, the voice of his father, Wu Youcai, the old owner of Wujiazhuang, suddenly came from his ears. He still sounded as he had before, and was calm and steady, "Hmm, huhhh! That second uncle, third uncle, brothers, Liangmou is still a child, so he naturally would not think so thoroughly about you all. But now our first goal is to work together to overcome this difficult situation, rather than teach the child a lesson! You guys, is that true?!"

"This?" Everyone turned red and they closed their mouths awkwardly.

Wu Youcai smiled and nodded at his eldest son and younger son, and then continued, "Although your two brothers have different views, the purpose is all for our Zhuangzi. So no matter whether you say it right or not, my father feels very pleased. Then he said, say everything he wants to say! No matter how your uncles evaluate it, they are also for everyone and everyone in this Zhuangzi!"

After saying something, everyone felt warm in their hearts. When they met each other's eyes, sparks were no longer everywhere.

After thinking for a while, Wu Liangmou raised his head again and looked at his father's eyes and admitted, "The child's idea just now was indeed a little anxious. He didn't consider the follow-up methods of Sesame Li. So let's listen to the third brother's thoughts first. He has always been more steady than me as an older brother."

"Yes, yes! Third brother, please continue to talk! You have always been steady. Tell me, what should we do?!" Hearing that Wu Liangmou took the initiative to admit his mistake, Wu Youde, Wu Youyi, Wu Youfu and other clans all looked at Wu Liangfang with a smile, and at the same time, he encouraged the latter loudly.

"Then I'll just say it!" Shengqing was hard to refuse, and the third young master Wu Liangfang stood up again and bowed to the uncles gently, "Actually, the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks!"

"What does it mean!" Zhong Su Lao didn't expect to hear such an answer, so he was stunned and asked in surprise.

Wu Liangfang gently pressed his hand down, imitating his father's appearance, and added with a smile, "Our family just wanted to bargain with Sesame Li before, but never said that they would not give him a penny. Both sides were not yet to the point of death. The reason why he sent troops here was simply to establish his authority with our family, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and let other farmers pay the money obediently."

"Then, then give it to him. Hurry up and send someone to Zhu. General Zhu said, "Let's give it twice as much money. Please stop the troops and go back to Xuzhou quickly!" Wu Youde and others immediately cheered up, stood up and shouted, "Go quickly, go quickly. Don't use your brother's subordinates. Those under him are as ignorant as he does."

"If you take the initiative to surrender now, it will probably not be a double deal!" Wu Liangfang pressed his hand down and calmly. "Although they are walking slowly, they are only twenty miles a day, and they are about to arrive at our doorstep. The food and grass along the way must be consumed, so we need to go out."

"Go out, give him as much as you want. As long as he is willing to stop the army!" The old man jumped up again, without any chance to agree.

"No!" Wu Liangfang shook his head gently and explained to everyone with a smile. "At this critical moment, we cannot take the initiative to face the surrender. First, when the other party sees us surrender, they will definitely ask for a price everywhere. Second, Sesame Li's men hit our doorstep and turned around. It is obvious that some agreement has been reached with us. If the court wants to pursue it in the future, how much money will our family have to spend to satisfy the appetite of those corrupt officials?!"

"Then, what should I do?!" Hearing this, Wu Youde, Wu Youyi and others immediately became eggplant after frost and drooped their heads to the ground. Although they were guarding a copper mine, more than half of the copper refined every year was taken out to feed corrupt officials. This was the case when Wujiazhuang had no handle and was caught in the hands of others. If there was a real handle, wouldn't the entire copper mine and the entire Wujiazhuang have to be swallowed by corrupt officials?!

"You can only fight first, and talk while fighting!" Wu Liangfang sighed softly, turned his head to his father and elder brother, and whispered.

"Well, then I can't stand it! As long as we can hold on for more than three days, the officers and soldiers of Tengzhou will climb over even if they crawl!" Wu Liangmou learned his previous lesson and smiled and picked up the vacancy for his younger brother.

"The officers and soldiers of Tengzhou?" Wu Liangfang looked at his brother and shrugged and smiled, "Even if we guarded for a month, the officers and soldiers may not be able to climb over! After sesame li defeated Wulabuhua, he has not sent any soldiers north of the Yellow River for three months. The officers and soldiers of Tengzhou have not blocked the Yellow River Ferry. What are the activities here? Brother, don't you understand?"

"Ah!" Wu Liangmou blushed again, rubbing the sweat beads on his forehead, and questioned, "Three, do you mean, are you saying that Daluhuachi from Tengzhou colluded with Sesame Li? How is it possible, he is an authentic Mongolian!?"

"Mongols are not all stubborn. If they can't beat them, they will be punished by the center if they lose the city? Why don't he lose money and avoid disasters? Besides, he doesn't have to spend his own money. In the name of avoiding disaster, maybe there will be a lot left in addition to giving Sesame Li. Brother, think about it, without the tacit consent of the Daruhuachi of Tengzhou, the people of Sesame Li come over to ask for money and food from various farms?"

Now, Wu Liangmou finally had nothing to say. What he learned in books was the king, the ministers and the soldiers used their lives. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the local area, he was completely different from what he took in the book.

"Then, why do we still have to fight?" Wu Youde, Wu Youyi and others were anxious to hear it, and asked with red eyes.

"For better bargaining!" Wu Liangfang sighed and explained in a low voice, "Sesame Li's soldiers were not made of beans. They are reluctant to lose too much in our small village. As long as we do not take the initiative, the Red Thief dies when attacking the Zhuangzi, we cannot blame us. When they find that our family is a tough and hard bone, it will be much easier for my father to send someone out to negotiate terms with them. First, the Red Thief's asking price will not be as outrageous as before. Second, if the court asks afterwards, our family can also say that the Red Thief's thief cannot defeat it for a long time and retreats afterwards. In this way, both sides will have a way out, and no one will really fight to the end!"

"This?" Wu Youde, Wu Youyi and other elders pondered in a low voice, not knowing whether the third young master's method was appropriate. However, compared with the eldest young master's previous initiative to fight, this move would at least not bring a catastrophe to Wujiazhuang. After thinking for a while, they turned their eyes to the owner of the manor Wu Youcai and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think? Is the third brother's method feasible!"

"Although it is young, it is not undesirable!" Wu Youcai was very pleased and patted the armrest of the seat and replied loudly. "Where are you guys, do you guys have any more to add?"

The second half of the sentence is asked by the butler, the staff, the gun and the soldiers of the martial arts world. These people are all the jobs of the Wu family, so of course they will not easily sing opposites to the young masters. After pondering for a moment, they responded one after another: "This, the third young master's method should be feasible!"

"It's a battle or a harmony, the owner of the manor, you'll make a decision. We'll follow you to the death!"

"Where are you, the second brother!" Wu Youcai smiled and turned his eyes to his second son, Wu Youtian, who had never spoken. "Your brother has said it, and your younger brother has said it, what do you mean!"

"If you really want to fight, I will catch the black dog and black cat in the village on the wall. Then collect some feces and horse-riding cloth and other things. When the red scarf thief shows off his grenade, he will immediately pour it down." Wu Liangtian thought for a while, waved his fists and said. The eyes were filled with the enthusiasm of subduing demons.
