Let's say that Yanying was about to go to war.
After drinking, Zhang Xiaowei'er and his sentry officers listened to a storyteller talking about ancient times, and he told a story about spreading beans into the Raksha River.
It turns out that the storyteller saw that Zhang Xiaobian'er had a strange fate and knew that he had caused a big disaster and would also affect the soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou City.
Everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, would die in one blow.
Not even a single chicken, dog or cat can be left alive.
It's just that this matter is not trivial, and he doesn't dare to tell it directly, so he uses a story from that year to enlighten him.
But the things the storyteller tells are definitely irrelevant to what happened to Zhang Xiaobian'er, only the principles behind them are similar.
As the saying goes, "The book does not need to be thick, but it will be sweet if it has taste; it does not need to be many words, but it will be important if it is reasonable."
If you want to ask the storyteller what this principle is, he just wants to tell Zhang Xiaobian'er: "There is never a good thing like pie falling from the sky.
You can use your heroes now.
Sooner or later, the old debt will be repaid, and the evil god will pay for it.
The evil spirit will definitely come to your door, and it will be too late to regret it by then. " But good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
Although Zhang Xiaobian'er vaguely heard some meaning and felt quite uneasy in his heart, he firmly believed in his heart that he was no ordinary person.
The wealth and success were all destined by Mr.
Zhang.
How could he believe it?
This storyteller talks nonsense.
Zhang Xiaowei'er rolled his eyes twice, and thought that there is always a destiny between life and death, and wealth is in the sky.
Anyway, Mr.
Zhang is a poor bachelor.
He can only survive by stealing and cheating, and he thinks that he can have something.
Today's situation is also consistent with the principle of a peaceful future.
The sky is a treasure, the earth is a pond, and life is like a fish in muddy water.
If you use it for a day, you will get a day's benefit.
The storyteller glanced secretly at him, and saw that the pigtail still looked completely unconcerned.
Knowing that he was playing the piano to a bull, he just sneered in his heart, cupped his fists and bowed his hands to respect you: "Today I have the honor to serve you all, it can be regarded as our destiny. .
We storytellers are just making money by talking.
It's just a few romances and anecdotes, just to make it sound good.
Of course, it can't be true.
If there are any omissions or neglects, I hope the officials will forgive me.
However, this good time is short-lived and the beautiful scenery is fleeting.
The story will finally come to an end."
After saying this, he reasoned that it was getting late and ordered the waiter to see the guests off.
Yanpai Li Si, Sun Mazi and others did not understand the mystery of this speech.
They just listened to the fresh and lively news.
Although they were not fully enjoying themselves, they gave up and thanked them: "What you said, sir, is very strange.
I I will definitely come back for advice later."
Then he said goodbye and followed Zhang Xiaobian'er back to the camp.
Heavy rains have continued over the past few days, and several river embankments near Lingzhou have been breached.
The floods have surged for a while, swallowing up many village roads.
Although Governor Ma Tianxi was a great history of the province's feudal territory, the territory he still controlled in the hands of the government was very limited.
Many places around him were captured by the Cantonese bandits.
It was difficult to contain the thieves' power.
Fortunately, a sudden rain caused a flash flood and the area was destroyed.
Countless thieves drowned in the water, leaving the tens of thousands of Cantonese bandits besieging Lingzhou City without support.

In addition, there was a shortage of food and grass supplies.
When the rain stopped and the floods subsided, they would surely withdraw from the siege.
Ma Tianxi saw that the heavy rain in the past two days had become much lighter.
After observing the situation, he concluded that the Taiping Army would definitely give up the siege temporarily.
They would not come back again until they fled to other places to loot and replenish their supplies of food and soldiers.
At present, the roads all around are damaged by floods.
If there is no naval support, so many Taiping troops want to retreat, they can only pass through Huangtiandang in the south.
Therefore, Master Ma dispatched Yan Ying to leave the city from Shuimen at night and ambush the Taiping Army on the road they must pass, killing him by surprise.
Although it is impossible to annihilate them all, it can at least severely dampen the spirit of the Cantonese invaders, making them fearful and fearful, and they will not dare to invade Lingzhou again in the short term.
In this way, the government can have time to reorganize its military equipment, recruit new warriors, and consolidate city defense.
Zhang Xiaowei'er saw that it was dark and rainy, so he led the Yanying group to burn incense and worshiped the Cat Fairy's tablet together, praying to Grandpa Cat Fairy for his miraculous induction and boundless compassion, and to bless Yanying's victory and immediate success.
Immediately after the preparation was completed, the nearly a thousand regiment heroes were taught to carry gunpowder and lead balls on their backs, carry guns and blunderbuss, open the water gate under the city, and sneak out of the city on a sampan.
At this time, the dark clouds were overwhelming, everything was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and there were Cantonese bandits everywhere outside the city.
The Yanying camp did not dare to use any lights, relying on the Yanmen who hunted at night all year round, and their eyesight was extraordinary.
The board paddled into the river, and went straight around the waterway towards Huangtiandang.
God didn't know it, and the ghost didn't notice it.
Although Zhang Xiaobian'er acted as a battalion officer, he didn't understand the way of fighting in a battle formation at all.
Fortunately, Yan Pai Li Si, Yan Ling'er and others around him were all experienced in many battles.
In the past, the Yanying thieves often fought with the officers and soldiers during encirclement and suppression campaigns, and also fought with local militia groups.
Later, they fought against the Taiping Army.
They did countless murders and arson.
Moreover, Huang Tiandang was the hometown of Yanying.
Taking advantage of the right time and place, even if the Taiping Army has 100,000 people, they can kill him personally in the chaos.
The sampan traveled all night, and by the next day, the rain had stopped and the thunder had stopped.
Zhang Xiaowei'er and others sat on the bow of the boat and looked around, but they saw that the sky and the earth were still dark and gloomy, and the pieces floating on the water were full of floating corpses.
There is a saying that "when people move to kill, things can sense it, but when heaven moves to kill, no one can know it."
At that time, the world was in chaos, and killings were happening everywhere.
This was probably God's desire to kill.
In the more than ten years since the Qing Dynasty suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom alone, nearly 70 million people died due to famine and war.
You can count how many people there were in the entire Qing Dynasty at that time.
The provinces where the war was most intense were really empty, and the population was completely extinct.
Even after traveling for dozens of miles, there was not even a single living person.
Even in those villages and towns that were not flooded, most of the houses were collapsed and empty.
Even the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs could not be heard.
There was a dead atmosphere everywhere.
Zhang Xiaobian'er became the officer of Yanying Camp, and he was very proud of himself at first, but when he saw the catastrophe of natural disasters and military disasters on the sampan, everything he saw was a desolate scene, and he suddenly realized that in these troubled times, even if he could really make a fortune, It’s also hard to enjoy it happily , then said to everyone: "I think everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.
We Yanying sacrificed our lives and risked our lives to quell the invaders and kill the enemies.
It was not for anyone else, just to ensure that the country would be peaceful and the people would be safe as soon as possible, so that the people of the world would no longer be affected by this chaos. bitter."
Yan Pai Li Si, Sun Mazi, Yan Ling'er and others all claimed that it was true when they heard this.
They all admired him and admired him to the ground.
However, they didn't know that Zhang Xiaopian'er was thinking in his heart: If it weren't for the peaceful and prosperous era when the people were prosperous and supplies were abundant, Zhang Sanye I have a lot of wealth and no place to spend and enjoy myself.
As a high-ranking official, I still have to solve problems for my superiors and subordinates.
As the saying goes, "Generals spend the night in armor, while courtiers wait until the cold."
How can there be anything to be gained by running around and working all day long and wasting your efforts?
keen interest Yan Ling'er saw a black cat next to Zhang Xiaobian'er.

Although the black cat was tired, it had two golden eyes.
It was very lively when looking at it.
However, this cat was only familiar with Zhang Xiaobian'er and never interacted with anyone else. near.
She became curious and asked, "Third brother, I heard that when you were working as a bandit hunter in Lingzhou City, you captured Monk Pan and Master Baita alive, all with the secret help of the cats in the city.
Is it true?
"This matter" Zhang Xiaobian'er had long wanted to show off some heroic things, but when Yan Ling'er asked him about it, he just scratched his itch and said, "We are destined to be together with wild cats.
When it comes to the domestic cats and wild cats in Lingzhou City, It is so rare that such a rare true religion is so rare that it has never been heard of since ancient times.
Yesterday, the storyteller was so bold that he dared to praise the loyal and the traitor and criticize the good and the evil.
He can only talk about a few old old books.
He can't even talk like an old cat.
What a shame, that guy is blind and doesn't understand our current world.
He is a heroic man.
If he is willing to be a master by the third master's side, I will ensure that he can see some real world events in his life.
The deeds of our Lingzhou Wild Cat alone will be enough for him to make up some interesting jokes."
Zhang Xiaowei'er rode on a sampan and followed the army.
Seeing the vast surroundings and not even reaching Huangtiandang, he readily agreed and took the opportunity to talk about cats to a few people around him.
It is said that our Lingzhou colored cats are mostly Hu breeds from the Han Dynasty.
They have the most spiritual powers.
There are at least two hundred kinds of famous brands, which are not comparable to ordinary cats from other places.
Although they wander around all day long just having fun, in fact, there is nothing in this world that they don’t know.
Not only can they sense good and bad luck, but they also have many magical powers.
Look at all the cats in Lingzhou, they are all of two colors, and all of them are good at mixing cat medicine.
In the early years, Taoist Master Tan, the Cat Immortal, used to go around the streets and sell cat medicine to save the world and save people, and he cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
But this cat medicine can only be prepared by wild cats.
Even Taoist Tan does not know the full secret recipe.
Although he is proficient in cat ways, he cannot master the ever-changing cat medicine.
It turns out that many medicinal herbs grow inside and outside Lingzhou City.
If a wild cat is bitten by a snake or scorpion, or suffers any other trauma, it will pick up a few medicinal herbs on its own, mix them and take them to remove the poison and heal the wound. , this is the so-called cat medicine, which can cure all diseases.
But the formula changes with the seasons, and no one knows how the wild cats prepare it.
It is really a panacea for bringing the dead back to life.
Zhang Xiaobian'er was talking excitedly, and Yan Ling'er and others were also listening in rapt attention.
Suddenly, they heard a loud whistle, and everyone's hearts trembled.
Their feelings changed.
They thought they met a bandit on the way, but they didn't know they were coming.
Many enemies were killed, and they all raised their guns on the boat, but they saw something floating on the water in the distance.
The thing on the water drifted with the current, rising and getting closer and closer.
In an instant, it was only a stone's throw away from the Yanying sampan.
Only then did everyone see clearly, but it was a huge old fox, with a man riding under him.
A big pumpkin floated in the water.
The old fox had a white spot on his forehead.
At first glance, it looked like he had three eyes.
It was riding on the melon gourd with a wink, and when it encountered dozens of sampans and rows of rows of guns and bows in Yanying, it didn't panic at all, and ignored everyone as if they were nothing.
Although Yanying soldiers are brave and good at fighting, most of them are superstitious people.
Seeing this three-eyed old fox riding a pumpkin across the water, not knowing how to avoid people, and having abnormal physical properties, it is probably a monster that has become a spirit.
It is not a good thing to see it.

It was an omen, and it might be unlucky to kill him, so he raised his rifle in the air and no one dared to kill him.
Yanpai Li Si saw the sneaky expression of the old fox and knew that the person who came was not good.
He must be a little weird, so he said fiercely: "You evil beast, you came at the wrong time.
I will take your life."
He was worried that using the musket would make too much noise. , stretched out his arm to take off the goose-head bow from behind, put a white-tailed goose feather arrow on it, and raised his hand to shoot.
Zhang Xiaowei'er hurriedly stopped him and said, "Fourth brother, please stay here.
This three-eyed old fox is probably coming for me, so don't kill it easily."
This is exactly: "I advise you not to make grudges, for the grudges are as deep as the sea."
