Chapter 533 (2/2)
”General!” All of a sudden, a cry came from outside the assembly hall. The voice was a little hoarse. Li Yuanhe opened his eyes again and looked up to the door of the room. There were six people standing in three rows outside the hall, all of them soldiers in black armor. The first one was Cheng Hu, who had been guarding the city before. His armor was neat, but his face was somewhat tired.Standing in the second row behind Chenghu are ma'er pockmarked clothes and Wu San. Their armor is also very neat, but the black clothes exposed in the gaps of the armor are obviously stained with some blood stains. Even the skin on their hands and necks was covered with blood stains. Two faces are also a little tired, and the eyes are full of blood, looks more tired than the adult tiger.
As for those standing in the third row, they are Zhao brothers and Qian Laojiu. However, the three of them were totally different from the three in front of them. Their armor was either bright red blood stains or black soot smoked by fire. Looking at their faces, they were not tired at all. Instead, they were full of excitement. The Zhao brothers even had red eyes, and the three of them still exuded a little murderous spirit.
Looking at the appearance of the six people, Li Yuanhe nodded his head with satisfaction and made a gesture to show them to come in. Six people stride into the assembly hall, the last brother Zhao also did not forget to close the door tightly. Cheng Hu went directly to Li Yuanhe and said in a low voice: ”general! We have finished what you told us to do
”Well! Not bad Li Yuanhe nodded, stood up directly, walked to Cheng Hu's face with his back hands, facing Cheng Hu and others on his side, and asked, ”how is this going? Tell me about it.”
Cheng Hu was still holding his fists. Hearing Li Yuanhe's words, Cheng Hu continued to lower his head and replied: ”under the command of the general, his subordinates divided the remaining 1000 officers and men into two groups. Among them, 307 have been determined to serve for the general, and they are handed over to Wu San. The remaining seven hundred men, with their subordinates, guarded the four gates of the city. Last night, no one came except General Xiao, who once came to the gate with his men and horses! ”
”Oh? General Xiao? ” As soon as Li Yuanhe's eyes brightened, he turned to look at Cheng Hu and asked, ”how did you deal with General Xiao?”
Although Li Yuanhe's tone changed a little, Cheng Hu was not nervous at all. He still maintained his previous attitude and replied: ”my subordinates answered General Xiao that it was a fire in the city. But according to his subordinates, General Xiao should have seen some clues, but General Xiao seems to have consciously pretended not to know.”
After listening to the tiger's report, Li Yuanhe did not comment on Cheng Hu's actions. He just nodded and looked down at his feet thoughtfully. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Wu San and ma er pockmarked son and asked, ”what's your action there? How is it going? ”
Hearing Li Yuanhe ask himself, Wu San and Ma Er Ma raise their heads at the same time. However, Wu San is not good at speaking, so Ma Er Ma Zi completes the task of answering. Ma'er pockmarked his fist and whispered, ”reply to the general! His subordinates, with 50 soldiers, assassinated all the southern merchants in the east of the city, about 900 people! All the southern merchants including fan Yan, the main target, are dead! In addition, there are those Han people who work for Nanman merchants. We have not let them go! As for the belongings of these merchants, they have all been taken out, and now they are put in the backyard firewood room of the chengshoufu. As for the quantity of the property, I have not had time to settle it. There are about 100000 taels of gold, more than 300000 taels of silver and 17 boxes of treasures! ”
Li Yuanhe, after all, was born in a poor family. When he heard about so much property, his cheek twitched. However, he soon recovered to calm. He just nodded and continued to ask, ”did you encounter any counterattack when dealing with these Southern merchants?”
”Yes!” Ma er pockmarked, however, with a trace of scorn on his face, replied: ”these Southern merchants have raised some soldiers in their families. In total, there are about 300 or 400 soldiers. However, compared with our soldiers, their quality is too much different, their equipment is not as good as ours, and we are unprepared. Therefore, except for a few soldiers who were injured by carelessness on our side, none of them suffered any loss, and all those soldiers were wiped out! ”
