Chapter 347 Bandits
"The noble faction is now in the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity is coming, but good fortune is the basis for misfortunes. When the situation changes, it is time for chaos!" The old Taoist priest began to persuade Xu Yuanjie to get up.
It sounds a bit meaningful, and Xu Yuanjie smiled bitterly in his heart.
"How many days can Jiangling block the Tang Kingdom?" Xu Yuanjie asked seriously.
"Although Jiangling has a strong army, if there are tens of thousands of troops, it will take only a few days to get out!" The old Taoist priest saw Jiangling clearly and said without any concealment:
"For decades, Jiangling people have been calm, extravagant and tired of war, and have been dealing with the countries, and have long lost the desire to dominate the world. They just live by just living a life of wealth and honor. As long as the army besieged the city, they cannot be regarded as sharp. In a few days, even if the king of Nanping was willing to kill him, the ministers had no desire to fight and wanted to preserve wealth and honor!"
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles of land, and is a descendant of the Li family in the former Tang Dynasty. It is not comparable to Li Jing in Jiangnan. Now that I have just arrived in Hunan, I have the intention to go north. As Taoist said, Jiangling City can be removed in a few days. I wonder why Guiguan is the only one who is defeated?"
Xu Yuanjie continued, quite aggressive.
"Hahaha!" The old Taoist priest laughed a few times and said:
"Don't forget the day when your country goes north. Xiangzhou is the place where Murong Yanzhao, the governor of Shannan East Road, is located. If Nanping is ill, his army will naturally move south and go down quickly. It only takes two days. Can your country be enemies?"
The first time I encountered such a difficult person, Xu Yuanjie was helpless:
"Although it's slim, if you enter Jiangling City, it will be difficult to protect your Guiguan!"
"Of course, it is worth it to avoid the existence of the Heavenly Master Sect!"
"Since that's the case, there is no need for Longhu Mountain to exist!" Xu Yuanjie stood up, waved his sleeves, and said:
"When the Tang army entered Jiangxi, it was the time when the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain was destroyed. There were no 100 soldiers, whether from Qianzhou, Fujian, or from Poyang Lake, it was elusive to the point where a few hundred people could understand it. It was probably extremely easy to destroy the Zhang family."
"After all, this is a chaotic world, anything can happen! The Central Plains unification is far away in the sky, while the Tang army is close to you. After all, it has not been obtained by Jiangling, so the emperor can do anything..."
Xu Yuanjie patted his butt and left without looking back. He was really angry. The old Taoist priest was really ungrateful.
"Wait--" As he was about to pass the threshold, a hoarse voice came from his ears. He stopped and heard only one sentence, and his heart was filled with joy.
"How can I help you-"
…………
Jiangling City is one of the rare prosperous places in the world. Countless merchants flocked to it. The stable environment also made those local families and wealthy families fall into it. The Central Plains is in chaos, and the first stop to flee south is Jiangling.
Only those families who are uneasy in their hearts will continue to move south. The wealth of Jiangling City is no longer evident.
A large number of financial owners arrived, which made the city full of manors of different sizes. In addition to the arrangement of dignitaries and nobles, it is conservatively estimated that there were at least hundreds of manors outside Jiangling City, imprisoning tens of thousands of households.
The sky gradually became drizzling, and a bright moon had already reached the sky. Only a few barking sounds came, and a few small houses in the middle revealed a few ignitions, making the manor prove the existence of people.
"Brother, is this the manor of Sun's family?" A small river surrounded in a valley ten miles outside Jiangling City, forming a depression, thus becoming a large manor of thousands of acres. Hundreds of tenants were farming and contributing wealth to the owner of the manor.
They are all the people of the Central Plains who fled south. They are penniless and can only sell themselves to the rich. After all, it is good to be a dog in this chaotic world.
"That's right, this is the Sun family's manor!" In a dense forest in the small valley, hundreds of bandits dressed in black and holding long swords were looking at the rich and peaceful manor in the distance.
The leading man looked at him seriously and said in a deep voice:
"This is a number of large manors outside the city. Only when Sun's family ranks at a high position can there be such a huge manor. Moreover, this is just one of them!"
"Brothers, we are disciplined. These people must not slaughter and rob. Our goal is the warehouse of the manor. In addition to food, half of all gold, silver and jewelry are ours!"
"Yes-" Everyone responded in a low voice, staring at such a prosperous manor, with greed in his eyes, and the wealth in it was absolutely unimaginable.
"Preparation--" Hou Peng lifted his knife, stared at the front tightly, and shouted: "Go—-"
"Wang-Wang-Wang-Wang-Wang-" Hundreds of people quickly approached the manor, and at this time, a barking of dogs suddenly came.
"Wangcai, what's wrong?" A confused male voice came from the house not far away.
"Crack--" Hou Peng raised his knife and cut it into half, then continued, "Friends, don't worry about it--"
The group quickly left and headed straight to the room with a tiny light. It was where the manor manager was located, and he knew where the warehouse was.
"Wangcai, what's wrong with you?" The farmer walked out of the house. He and Wangcai have been dependent on each other for many years. From the Central Plains to Jiangling, he was unable to separate. He had never heard Wangcai's shouting, and there was a bad guess in his heart.
"Wangcai" Take a few steps and ignites the torch. He saw the dog corpse in the pool of blood, and couldn't help but burst into tears. What exactly happened here?
"This wound is not a hatchet, it seems to be a saber? It's like the passing corpse that escaped before!" He felt a moment of feeling bad when he took the dog corpse in two halves back home:
"Is there an army here?"
He hurriedly hid under the rice jar at home, which was a necessary habit formed by experiencing many war disasters.
That night, the entire manor was not at ease. The sound of crying, barking of dogs, begging for mercy kept rising during this night. All the people were gathered together and were forced to leave with their families, and they also had to help the robbers bring the robbers and leave step by step.
Then there was a big fire and most of the entire manor was burned down.
"Wangcai, I will definitely avenge you-" The man walked out of the rice jar, looked at the wrecked manor on the ground, searched for a few more hours, and found some gold and silver that fell on the ground. He wiped his tears and went to Jiangling City.
Subsequently, for several days, many manors outside Jiangling City had been attacked, and were basically from high-ranking officials and nobles in Nanping State. They suffered heavy losses. Gao Baoxu continued to accept the requests of his ministers and sent a large army to wipe out this group of arrogant bandits.
"Mr. Sun, what do you think?" Gao Baoxu asked impatiently after being disturbed by his interest.
"This group of bandits are well-trained and have the same weapons as the Central Plains. It must be caused by the chaos in the Central Plains. We must guard against it! Now the people in Jiangling City are panic and must be wiped out!"
