Chapter 33: Crisis and Opportunity
As a normal person in later generations, I am afraid that he would never see the scene of flesh and blood and corpses on his own in his life.
Therefore, the first impression Huo Hai left on Chu Yan was: he could really vomit.
"What's going on?" Chu Yu looked at the fight scene and asked Wang Dang, who had already walked out of the camp and was staring at Huo Hai.
"Actually, we don't know. Not long after we were stationed here, this person came with hundreds of soldiers, saying that we wanted us to hand over all the wealth in our hands. Naturally, we didn't give it to them, so they began to attack our camp." Wang Dang pointed to Sun Tao's body on the ground and said.
"Then, uh, the people, what's going on? Why do they kneel on the ground?" Chu Yu pointed to the Sun serfs and said.
Wang Dang grabbed his head and looked at Chu Yan with a blank look on his face. Since Chu Yan stabbed Sun Tao to death, the people have been like this.
Chu Yu looked at Chu Yan, and Chu Yan was also confused.
"Or, come and ask someone?" Baoer said after handing Huo Hai a few tissues.
This thing is sometimes used to wipe the mouth, and sometimes it is used to wipe the pp when it is convenient. I don’t know whether it is used to wipe the mouth or the pp.
However, whenever he knew that there were not many tissues, he would show an expression of indulgence in life. He seemed to hate bamboo scraping very much.
Soon, several Sun family soldiers who were injured and had no power to fight again and several serfs who seemed to be quite sensible were pulled over by Chu Yan, and then everyone got very bad news from them.
Sun Tao is the nephew of the tenth eunuch Sun Zhang. At the same time, he is also the candidate designated by Sun Zhang to inherit his title in the future. He is equivalent to Sun Zhang's stepson. After he learned that Wang Dang and his group had a transparent bottle in their hands, he brought people to snatch it. But who knew that the snatch failed, but Chu Yan, who came from Heishan to prepare for a while, was killed by Huo Hai.
The result of killing Sun Zhang's stepson, one of the ten eunuchs, is imagined. After the news reaches Luoyang, the court will definitely send a large army to wipe out this group of people. In addition, Sun Tao's family soldiers and these serfs will also be charged with unfavorable protection and dealt with by Sun Zhang who was angry.
After all, his only nephew, Sun Tao, was dead, but they were not dead. It was unreasonable for the domineering Sun Zhang.
This is also why none of the Sun family's soldiers and disciples escaped after Sun Tao was stabbed to death.
At first, Chu Yan didn't think this was a big deal, and he just killed a prince of a gentry. But after Chu Yu reminded him, he realized that something might have been a bad thing.
Because, once the imperial court sent a large army to clear the situation, either Chu Yan and a group of people from Heishanzhai would be killed, or the Taiping Sect would have rushed to fight without being prepared.
Both endings, it can be said, are not very good.
However, Wang Dang looked at the mineral water bottle on his waist and looked at Huo Hai with a sorry look, feeling very guilty.
If he hadn't greedy for Huo Hai's treasure, maybe he wouldn't have happened today.
"It must be because my father didn't give me a name, so I encountered this kind of time travel. Just travel through time! I'm still forced to rebel now!" Huo Hai complained in his heart again, and then looked at the serfs of the Sun family, Chu Yan, and even Wang Dang and his group.
"The current situation is that if we kill Sun Tao, we will definitely attract Sun Zhang to mobilize the army of the court to attack us. This is a situation that we will never stop. We can even surrender and beg for mercy. Therefore, we can only go one way." Huo Hai summarized the situation and said.
"So, we are against its mother's court." Chu Yan said with a fist.
"I can't resist the ball, you just have dozens of people. You don't need the army of the court to fight. You just need to send a battalion of soldiers to cut you into pieces in minutes. Don't say it out loud in the future." After discovering that Chu Yan's intelligence point was not too high, Huo Hai was not polite to him when he spoke.
The talisman given by Zhang Bao should be considered his subordinate in name, so he must first shock him and convince him before he can instruct him to do things.
"We Taiping Church have millions of religions, but we are still afraid..."
"You know that you have moved out of the Taiping Sect at this time? Do you know that because of the things you committed today, how many Taiping Sect people will kill?" Seeing that Chu Yan was still waiting to speak, Huo Hai blocked him with one sentence.
"Can we give us a hand and let us give us a hand?" Wang Dang heard Huo Hai say this, so he naturally wanted to help Chu Yan, who saved his people.
"Of course it's not about giving him a hand. If he just drove him away, it would be just a small conflict in the local area and would not alarm the imperial army at all. However, killing him will be different. Sun Zhang will definitely stay with us. So! The responsibility for this is on him, and killing people is incompetent." Huo Hai pointed to Chu Yan and said.
After Huo Hai pointed this, the fire in Chu Yan's chest suddenly became louder and he cursed, "Grandma, we Black Mountain bandits kill people. When should we ask who was killed? If a dog like Sun Tao is not killed, Ye Ye will be depressed even if he lives.
By the way, when it comes to this matter, it has a lot to do with you. If you didn’t sell some bottles and mirrors in my name, these people would be eyeing our Heishan Village? Can I get more than a hundred brothers for nothing? Will I appear here today?"
His words "Yeah" were shouted at Huo Hai, and a series of questions were also blaming Huo Hai.
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Chu Yu immediately advised, "Brother, don't be angry, let me hear what the young master said next."
"Why should I listen to him?" Chu Yan shook her arms in annoyance.
"First of all, I have this, you must listen to me. Secondly, I have a way to prevent you from ruining the great affairs of Taiping Sect and gaining many benefits for free." Huo Hai took out the talisman that Zhang Bao gave him from his arms, and threw it up and down in his hand.
"Brother, the young master is a master. Even the general of the Earthly Lord admires him very much. If you listen to him, you will definitely not suffer any loss." Chu Yu said again when he saw the situation.
"Hmph, don't think that if there is a talisman here, I will listen to you. If the method you said cannot solve the problem, I will not bother to pay attention to you." Chu Yan turned his back to Huo Haidao.
He is eager to be righteous and hates evil, which is his advantage of attracting weak people to come and seeking advice and planning such things is not what he is good at. He knows where his flaws are, but he does not want to give in to himself. Therefore, Huo Hai can understand his attitude when he shows such a gesture.
"Sun Tao was killed, and the Sun family's soldiers were all killed on the spot by you, so the Sun family is now just an empty shell."
Huo Hai just said this, and Chu Yan's eyes lit up.
The entire Wangdu County belongs to the Sun family. If you robbed Wangdu County, wouldn’t it be wealthy?
"Are you thinking about taking someone to the Sun family to rob?" Huo Hai suddenly changed his mind and pointed at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan, who was thinking of this, nodded quickly, but Huo Hai clapped his hands and said, "Just say you guys who don't study are brainless! If you go to rob the Sun family, will the other people in the county know? Not to mention that there must be many people in the Sun family defending. If the county magistrate and county magistrate know, what will they do? They will report to the court soon, and then the army will immediately wipe out you, and even the Taiping Cult will take charge together."
"So, what about the solution?" Chu Yan asked Huo Haidao with his hands spread out.
"The way is on them." Huo Hai pointed to the Sun family soldiers and soldiers.
"They?" Chu Yan didn't understand what Huo Hai meant, so he turned to look at the serfs and more than a dozen injured and undead Sun's soldiers and soldiers.
Huo Hai also looked at them at this time and said, "Do you want to survive?"
Many serfs nodded quickly, and a few moveable Sun family soldiers also spoke, "If you don't want to survive, who will fight to the death with you! Because, you will definitely die when you go back."
Huo Hai clapped his hands and said, "That's easy. Now I have a way to let you all live and live well. Are you willing to follow the implementation?"
The serfs nodded again, and the soldiers hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "Please speak."
Huo Hai smiled and said, "Very good. To prove that you are reliable, I need you to make a letter of submission first."
"A letter of fame? What is it?"
Everyone looked at Huo Hai in surprise.
"That's... you took this gun and made a hole in Sun Tao's body. In this way, if you rebel, we will tell the Sun family about this matter, so that you will not die well."
"this……"
Many soldiers looked embarrassed, but after Huo Hai finished speaking, he turned to Chu Yan and Wang, "If anyone among them refuses to stab Sun Tao, you can stab them with a gun and pierce a hundred transparent holes."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the family had no room for consideration. They struggled to get up. With the help of the serfs, they limped to Sun Tao's body and stabbed Sun Tao's body with a gun.
"Slowly, let's see what seals or something on him, don't damage them." Huo Hai shouted, and soon, Wang Dang and Chu Yu really found a lot of things from Sun Tao.
The first thing is the jade on him. This thing is a symbol of identity. Holding it is enough to falsely pass Sun Tao's orders in front of the Sun family.
Secondly, he also has the seal talismans belonging to the head of the family. When calling things in the warehouse, it needs to be confirmed with the manager in charge of the warehouse. This set was used by the families of the great gentry in this era, and was learned from the management model of the official warehouse of the imperial court.
Finally, he still had several letters of communication. Although he was stained with some blood, most of the words were clearly seen, including his own handwriting, and those sent from Luoyang, belonging to Sun Zhang.
Seeing these things, Huo Hai felt that things were right and said to the Sun family soldiers and all the serfs present, "Remember, Sun Tao is not dead. He just took people to Heishan to suppress the bandits. However, the bandits in Heishan are not easy to deal with. Sun Tao plans to siege him and slowly die of death."
"This plan is very wonderful. If this happens, we can delay until the time when the great wise and good teachers will start next year." Chu Yu, who understood what Huo Hai said, laughed and said with a high-high smile.
"It's just the first step in the plan. Later, we can pass on his orders and constantly draw money, grain, horses, livestock, and even clothing, materials and weapons from the Sun family to Montenegro. With the reputation of insufficient personnel transporting materials, we can also take over the families of these young and strong serfs.
It is best to cheat the treasury of Wangdu County before Zhang Jiao and the others started, so that our money and food can support more people and turn crisis into opportunity." Huo Hai interrupted the proud Chu Yudao.
