Chapter 51 Wujiazhuang For such a large manor that the green forest heroes coveted but never dared to touch, Sesame Li actually sent only 1,500 men to knock it down.
He was really a little complacent.
Immediately, the profiteers who had suppressed their resentment because of the imitation plate armor became evil-minded and secretly sent their men on fast horses to deliver a message to Wujiazhuang, preparing to see how the offensive and defensive sides would fight to the death.
There was no need for them to remind them.
As soon as Zhu Bayi and his troops crossed the Yellow River, the owner of Wujiazhuang, Wu Youcai, had already received the news.
Immediately, the old village owner called his three sons and the elders of the clan, as well as the housekeeper, accountant, teacher, gun and stick instructor, and dead warriors together, and worked together to discuss a countermeasure.
"It's Zhu Bayi."
Master Wu crossed his fingers on his chest and paced back and forth around the Eight Immortals table.
"There are probably more than 1,500 people under my command, and one-third of them should be soldiers.
There are also more than 30 scouts, each of whom is a double rider.
As for weapons, most of them should be spears.
It is quite special.
What's more, they pushed a lot of chicken buses this time.
They were probably afraid that after Zhuangzi was conquered, there would be too much stuff to take away, so they specially " "It's too much to bully people."
Before the owner of the village, Wu Youcai, finished his introduction, the people below him were already filled with indignation.
Everyone who listened felt that the Red Scarf Army was too arrogant.
They simply regarded Wujiazhuang as an ordinary grass market and dared to come here with a chicken bus to move things.
"It's Zhu Bayi."
Wu Youcai released his hands, raised them on both sides of his body and pressed down, signaling everyone to be calm, "It's the handsome man who fought against tens of thousands of troops to kill Wu La Buhua last winter.
In front of the stage, he was the one who blew away the latter with a blunderbuss.
If the notice of the Red Scarf Army is true, I am afraid that this boy is not as brave as Guan Zhang."
"Buzz" The discussion below immediately died down by half.
Ever since Wu Labuhua was defeated and died in the army, Zhu Bayi's name has almost worn calluses out of everyone's ears.
Rumors abound in the world, saying that this person is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and that he can strike thunder with his palms at will.
It is said that this man has a leopard head and ringed eyes, and is difficult to defeat.
There are even rumors that this person was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child and learned the unique skills of Kong Kong'er in the Tang Dynasty.
He could kill people's heads with a flying sword from hundreds of steps away.
Hit wherever you point, and you will never fail.
Being an enemy of such a half-human and half-demon guy makes everyone feel nervous.
They won't even be able to fight you.
If they take a good move from a few miles away, all the seeds in your head will be gone.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are and how many soldiers you have around you, what's the use?
Immediately, the faces of several dead warriors turned pale and they looked at the ground evasively, as if gold could grow on the ground.
Several elders of the family named Wu also stroked their gray beards and began to sigh and shake their heads, "His uncle, since it is Zhu Bayi who is here.
How about we give him the money and food that Sesame Li asked for while taking advantage of the opportunity?"
Zhu's guy hasn't reached the door yet, so we can still discuss it if this really happens."
"Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, what you said is wrong."
Before Wu Youcai could respond, his eldest son Wu Liangmou had already raised his eyebrows and retorted loudly: "He Zhu Bayi is certainly powerful, the son of our Wujiazhuang."
You are not a vegetarian.
Why should you let them give away the money and food that you have worked so hard to save?
A piece of paper is taken away in vain.
The world is getting more and more chaotic now.
Today we have Sesame Lee, and tomorrow there may be Sesame Zhang, Sesame King, and Sesame Zhao.
If any bandit leader moves everyone away from our Wujiazhuang, With your hard-earned money, even if our Wujiazhuang has a golden mountain, it can withstand how many times others move it."
"Then, then."

Being humiliated by the juniors in public, the faces of several elders suddenly turned red, "Then how can Zhu Ba11 be generalized to ordinary bandits?
He can use palm thunder."
"It's not thunder in the palm of my hand."
Wu Liangmou, the eldest son of Wujiazhuang, shook his head and responded in a low voice.
As the next heir to the village owner, in critical moments, he seemed far calmer than most of the elders in the village, "It should be a grenade.
The guys we sent to sell pig iron in Xuzhou have all heard clearly, and now the red scarf thief That’s what I throw out every day during training outside the city.”
"Even if it's a grenade, you have to get close before you can throw it.
Under the heavy protection of an army of 10,000 people, you can go to the handsome stage of Wu La Buhua and throw a grenade.
This, this, Changshan Zhao Zilong, the leader in Pinghua, was only this brave.
"Wu Youcai's uncle and brother, Wu Youde, the elder of Wujiazhuang, looked at his nephew angrily, burning with anxiety.
It's all this daring boy's fault.
Then Sesame Li sent someone to ask for "security fees", so just give them to him.
Anyway, even if you don't give Sesame Plums, the government's annual expenses will not be too small.
However, my nephew, who does not know how high the sky is, actually said that he wants too many Sesame Plums.
He suggested that everyone delay for a while and find an opportunity to bargain.
The uncles and brothers around me who love money as much as their lives actually listened to the opinions of a stupid kid and really procrastinated.
That's it, the bargaining hasn't even started yet, Zhu Bayi has already led his soldiers and horses to the door of his house.
If he is really braver than Zhao Zilong, as the legend says, will the more than 5,000 households of men, women, and children in this village still have a way to survive?
"Even Zhao Zilong managed to escape from the siege because Cao Cao refused to let him shoot his arrows."
Wu Liangmou shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand and dismissed Wu Youde's concerns.
"The reason Wu La Buhua fell into his trap was because he didn't know that there was such a thing as a grenade beforehand.
But we, on the other hand, had already made corresponding preparations."
"Prepare, what are you prepared for?
Things really happen to those friends you usually associate with.
They dare to stroke Sesame Lee's tiger whiskers."
The more seriously Wu Youde listened to what his nephew said, the more panic he felt in his heart.
When I was young, I was not so flamboyant.
I usually keep my head down when walking on the road.
If I had rolled my eyes like my nephew when I was young, I would have died on the road a long time ago.
How could I have accumulated such a huge family fortune with my brother?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have listened to his old wife and gave up the position of the next generation owner to his well-educated nephew.
Now it's better, people who have read a lot of books will also have a lot of arrogance.
In this chaotic world, you don't know how to bow your head at all times.
Isn't this an intentional attempt to bring disaster to Wujiazhuang?
Just when he was full of evil spirits and had no way to vent, he heard Wu Liangmou say: "If the friends my nephew associates with are not responsible, how could we have received the news that the red scarf thief is coming so early?
No matter how brave the red scarf thief is, He is just a flesh and blood person.
At present, there are no less than thirty powerful crossbows among us in Zhuangzi.
He is hiding behind the high wall and shooting with crossbow arrows.
Even if he is really the reincarnation of some Buddha, he will still be saved."
"This" Wu Youde couldn't continue.
To be fair, he didn't think his Zhuangzi was so easy to be breached from the outside.
It's just that I have never really fought with others, so I instinctively panic.
While he was in a daze, the eldest son Wu Liangmou said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't be anxious.
Didn't you listen to what my father said just now?
This Zhu Bayi has brought more than 500 armored soldiers and more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers to fight.

Our Wujiazhuang.
It’s obvious that Sesame Li has just won a battle and is a little carried away.
With just over 1,500 people, my nephew can’t come or go as long as he makes the slightest move.”
"Why can't it come and go?"
"Liangmou, is your method reliable?"
"Liangmou, money is small.
Don't bring trouble to the village."
The elders of Wujiazhuang felt cold in their hearts when they heard this.
Asked with a trembling voice, the last glimmer of hope.
"Ambush on the way."
Wu Liangmou didn't even think about it, and gave the answer simply and neatly, "The red thief came from afar and is not familiar with the place.
We only need to set an ambush on the road he must pass, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to shoot random arrows."
All fired.
No matter how capable he is, he has already turned into a hedgehog.
There is no need to worry about him throwing grenades when he gets close."
"No."
Before Wu Youde could respond, Wu Liangfang, the youngest son in the Wu family's room, jumped out and retorted loudly.
"Absolutely not.
If we do that, our Wujiazhuang will definitely be in disaster."
"Third brother, what do you mean?"
Wu Liangmou was having a good time chatting with the heroes, but he was hit with a stick by his brother.
He rolled his eyes and asked with great dissatisfaction.
"Brother, this plan is definitely good."
Wu Liangfang was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and then responded in a very small voice, "But, it's a bit inappropriate.
Then, Zhu Ba11 did only bring 1,500 Brother, if you set up an ambush halfway, you can definitely catch him off guard, and maybe you can kill all these fifteen hundred people.
They were all destroyed.
But in that case, our Wujiazhuang would have a deadly feud with Sesame Li.
After hearing the news, Sesame Li would definitely pull out all his troops to demand repayment of our blood debt.
Even though our villagers are brave. , You can use three or four thousand villagers to block Sesame Li's army of 100,000 people, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'll be drowned by others."
"Yes, yes, Liangmou, this is really not a good idea."
"Xiao Mouzi, it's not my uncle who is talking about you.
You kid is too ambitious."
"Hey, I read a lot and read my mind to death.
I just think about beating, beating, beating, but I didn't realize how much weight I have."
"Yeah, I just wanted to become famous through Zhu Bayi's head, but I didn't think that beating the child would bring out the other person's mother."
"I told you to give it to me before.
You have to bargain with me.
This time it's fine.
You can't fight or run away.
What else can we do except stretch our necks and wait to be slaughtered?"
All the elders immediately became energetic and followed Wu Liangfang, criticizing Wu Liangmou verbally and writtenly.
It was as if he was the main general who led the troops to attack Wujiazhuang, while Zhu Ba11 was just an insignificant minion.
"You..."
Wu Liangmou, the young owner of the village, was so angry that his eyes were burning and veins were pulsing on his forehead.
Before the war started, people's hearts in Zhuangzi were in such chaos.

It's no wonder that Sesame Li didn't take Wujiazhuang seriously.
Everyone's face is earned by himself.
If he doesn't want it, how can he expect anything from others?
"Hmm, hum."
Just when he was about to take out his needle and thread to sew everyone's mouths shut, the voice of his father, Wu Youcai, the old owner of Wujiazhuang, suddenly came to his ears.
He still sounded as steady and calm as before, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, his second and third uncles, brothers, Liangmou is still a child, so naturally he won't be as thoughtful as you all.
But right now Our first goal is to work together to overcome this difficult situation, not to teach the children that this is not the case."
"This" everyone's faces turned red and they closed their mouths in embarrassment.
Wu Youcai smiled and nodded at his eldest son and youngest son, and then continued: "Although your two brothers have different views, your goals are all for our Zhuangzi.
So no matter what you say is right or not, as a father, in my heart They all felt so relieved.
Then he said, say everything you want to say, regardless of what your uncles say, they are also doing it for everyone, for everyone in this village."
The words made everyone feel warm in their hearts, and sparks no longer flew when their eyes met.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Wu Liangmou raised his head again, looked into his father's eyes and admitted, "My child's idea just now was indeed a bit too hasty.
He didn't consider Sesame Li's follow-up methods.
So I'd better listen to my third brother first."
Come to think of it, he has always been more stable than me, the older brother."
"Yes, yes, third brother, please continue talking.
You are always steady.
Tell us, what should we do?"
When Wu Liangmou took the initiative to admit his mistake, Wu Youde, Wu Youyi, Wu Youfu and other elders in the clan all looked at Wu Liangfang with smiles. , while loudly encouraging the latter.
"Then I'll say it."
The warm welcome was hard to resist.
Third Young Master Wu Liangfang stood up again and gently raised his hands to his uncles, "Actually, the situation is not as bad as everyone thought."
"What do you mean?"
Elder Zhongsu didn't expect to hear such an answer.
He was stunned and asked in surprise.
Wu Liangfang gently pressed his hand down, followed his father's example, and added with a smile, "Our family just wanted to bargain with Sesame Li before, and we never said we wouldn't give him a penny.
Both parties have not yet said To the point of life and death.
The reason why he sent troops here is just to use our family's power to scare the monkeys and make other villagers pay their dues. " "Well, then give it to him.
Send someone quickly to talk to General Zhu.
Let's double the money and ask him to stop his troops and return to Xuzhou as soon as possible."
Wu Youde and others immediately cheered up and stood up chattering.
He yelled, "Go quickly, go quickly.
Don't use your brother's people.
Those under him are all as ignorant as him."
"If you take the initiative to surrender now, it probably won't be twice as difficult."
Wu Liangfang pressed his hand down, calmly.
"Although they are walking slowly, only twenty miles a day, they will soon reach our door.
The food and grass consumption along the way will be indispensable and our family will have to pay for it."
"Come out, come out, give him as much as he wants.
As long as he is willing to stop fighting."
All the elders jumped up again and agreed without any words.
"It can't be like this," Wu Liangfang shook his head gently and explained to everyone with a smile.
"At this juncture, we cannot take the initiative to meet the surrender.
First, when the other party sees that we have given in, they will definitely ask for a high price.

Second, Sesame Lee's men arrived at our door and then turned around and left.
It was obvious that they had reached an agreement with us.
What kind of agreement is there?
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 we do?
What should we do?"
After hearing this, Wu Youde, Wu Youyi and others immediately turned into eggplants after being beaten by frost, and their heads drooped to the ground.
Although he guards a copper mine, more than half of the copper produced every year is used to feed corrupt officials.
This is still the case when Wujiazhuang has no clues and is caught by others.
If there were real evidence, wouldn't it mean that the entire copper mine and the entire Wujiazhuang would be swallowed up by corrupt officials?
"We can only fight first and talk while fighting."
Wu Liangfang sighed softly, turned his head to his father and eldest brother, and whispered.
"Well, then we can't defend it.
As long as we can hold it for more than three days, the officers and soldiers of Tengzhou will crawl over."
Wu Liangmou learned from the previous lesson and smiled as he picked up the missing items for his brother.
"The officers and soldiers of Tengzhou."
Wu Liangfang looked at his brother, shrugged and smiled, "Even if we guard for a month, the officers and soldiers may not be able to crawl over.
After Sesame Li defeated Wu Labuhua, in the past three months, he has not reported to Soldiers were sent north of the Yellow River.
The officers and soldiers of Tengzhou did not block the Yellow River ferry.
What is going on here, brother, don’t you understand?"
"Ah" Wu Liangmou blushed again, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and questioned, "Lao San, you are saying, how is it possible for Daru Huachi from Tengzhou to collude with Sesame Li?
He is an authentic person." the Mongols” "The Mongols are not all one-sided.
If they can't be beaten again and again, and if they lose the city, they will be accused by the central government.
Why don't they waste money to avoid disasters?
Besides, they don't have to spend their own money.
In the name of avoiding disasters, The wealthy households in the state may raise donations, and maybe they will have a lot left over besides those for Zhizhili.
Brother, think about it, without the acquiescence of Mr.
Daru Huachi in Tengzhou, people from Zhizhili can come and swagger to everyone.
Does Zhuangzi ask for money and food?”
At this time, Wu Liangmou finally had nothing to say.
What he learned in books was that the king should be upright and the ministers should be honest, and the soldiers should obey their orders.
Unfortunately, when we got to the place, it was completely different from the path in the book.
"Then, why are we still fighting?"
Wu Youde, Wu Youyi and others listened anxiously and asked with red eyes.
"In order to bargain better," Wu Liangfang sighed and explained in a low voice, "Sesame Li's soldiers are not conjured by spreading beans.
We are reluctant to lose too much on our small village.
As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, Hong When the thieves died when they attacked Zhuangzi, they can't blame us.
When they found out that our family was a tough nut to crack.
After getting the hard support, it will be much easier for Dad to send people out to negotiate terms with them.
Firstly, the price demanded by the red scarf thief will not be as outrageous as before.
Secondly, if the court asks about it later, our family can do it.
It is said that the red scarf thief was unable to attack for a long time and retreated due to difficulties.
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 murmured in a low voice, wondering whether the Third Young Master's method was appropriate.
However, compared to the eldest son's previous proactive attack strategy, this move at least will not bring disaster to Wujiazhuang.

After thinking for a moment, they turned their attention to the owner of the village, Wu Youcai, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you think Lao San's method is feasible?"
"Although he is immature, he is not without merit."
Wu Youcai was very relieved and replied loudly, patting the armrest of the seat.
"What about you guys?
Do you guys have anything to add?"
The second half of the sentence is directed at housekeepers, teachers, gun and stick instructors, and dead warriors.
These people are all responsible for the Wu family's job, so of course they will not easily go against a few young masters.
After pondering for a moment, he responded one after another: "This, Third Young Master's method should, should be feasible."
"Whether it's war or peace, it's up to you, owner, to decide.
We will follow you to the death."
"What about you, second son?"
He couldn't get anything useful from everyone's mouth.
Wu Youcai smiled again and turned his attention to his second son, Wu Youtian, who had been silent.
"Your brother also said it, and my younger brother also said it, what do you mean?"
"Fight, if we really want to fight, I'm going to catch all the black dogs and cats in the village and put them on the courtyard wall.
I'll also collect some excrement and riding cloth and other shady things.
When the red scarf thief reveals his grenade, Pour it down immediately."
Wu Liangtian thought for a while and said, waving his fist.
The eyes between his eyes were filled with the enthusiasm of conquering demons
