Xu Yuan did not agree with Xu Guang to lead his troops out, because he believed that those iron mines and workshops must have been poisoned by the Wei eunuchs, and the top priority was not to recapture these mines, but to firmly hold the iron fields.

At the same time, he immediately sent people back to Nandu to report the news, and asked the Guogong to send reinforcements as soon as possible. In addition, people have to be sent to the county seat to ask for help, although the Liyang County Ya has no soldiers and horses, but there is no problem in organizing more than 100 officials and bow hunting.

As long as the Liyang County Ya sends someone over, then if the Wei eunuch dares to come again, it will not be against the Wei State Mansion, but with the officialdom of the Southern Capital, and even blatantly rebel against the imperial court!

I have to say that Xu Yuan is really a smart person, he has a very thorough view of the current situation, and he wants a thousand ways and ten thousand, what Eunuch Wei wants is the Liyang Iron Field, not a public rebellion.

No matter how much the provincial mine tax collectors do not deal with the localities, they do not dare to openly send troops to attack the yamen and condone their subordinates to fight with the officers and soldiers.

This is a bottom line and a red line.

The reason why the courtiers could tolerate the emperor's large-scale dispatch of mine tax supervisors to the localities to seize power and profit was because no matter how domineering these mine tax envoys were, no one dared to use force against the localities, but the localities dared to use force against them.

You don't dare, I dare.

The consequences of those overly arrogant eunuchs are all burning the ya, throwing themselves into the river, and splitting their bodies...

In the past 20 years, the death rate of mine supervision tax has exceeded 50%, but it is clear.

Knowing this, the mine supervisors and tax envoys still did not dare to defend themselves "by force", because the red line could not be crossed and could not be crossed.

For example, Gao Huai, the superintendent of Liaodong Mine, brazenly amassed troops, and dared to secretly lead the armor soldiers into Beijing, and in the end, it didn't end well.

According to Xu Yuan's arrangement, with more than 600 guards, the iron field will definitely be foolproof. If the Liyang County Ya comes forward, the name and righteousness will be accounted for, so what if the Wei eunuch occupies the surrounding workshops!

Survive today, there will always be someone who can clean him up!

It's a pity that Xu Guang and Xu Xing didn't listen to Xu Yuan, saying that they were all elite soldiers under their command, how could they call a eunuch to scare them.

"Xiao Wudon't want to think about this, how many people can Eunuch Wei come over? The two of us are all strong pawns under the command of one to ten, and if we really want to shrink in this iron field, wouldn't it make the Wei eunuch laugh and fall into the name of the prince! ”

Xu Xing was drunk, and muttered that he called his own soldiers to gather people.

Xu Guangjiu didn't have much, but he didn't agree with Xu Yuan's opinion of staying in the iron field, not because he was afraid of falling into the name of the Duke of Wei, but because he really trusted the soldiers under his command.

You must know that the two of them brought more than 200 soldiers from the Dukes' Mansions, but each of them has a bird gun, and with such strength, how can they be afraid of the rabble under the Wei eunuch.

And he and Xu Yuan have different views, and it is precisely because they don't know the situation outside that they have to go out to see what they want. Otherwise, trapped in this iron field, a person's heart is fluctuating, and the slightest wind and grass will not be a catastrophe.

Er Xu insisted on going out, but Xu Yuan couldn't dissuade him, so he could only watch Er Xu pull up the soldiers and leave the iron field fully armed.

Out of the iron field, Xu Xing remembered to ask Xu Guang where he was going.

Xu Guang looked at the sky and said that he would go to the nearest Qianshan Iron Mine to take a look, if there were really eunuch Wei's minions there, he would arrest it.

Xu Xing listened to his own words, the Qianshan Iron Mine was about less than thirty miles away from the iron field, and everyone hurried to hurry, and they would definitely be able to arrive before dark.

However, after walking less than ten miles, the team was a little out of shape, and the speed slowed down.

"The brethren have not eaten anything, but it is difficult for them."

Xu Guang was quite sympathetic to his subordinates, and when he saw this, he stopped to rest and ordered people to go to the surrounding villages to find something to eat.

Xu Xing has no opinion, he didn't see anything wrong along the way, there were a lot of passers-by, and there were no ghosts at all, let alone the Wei eunuchs.

After receiving the order to rest, the soldiers immediately became happy, leaning against the trees or sitting on the grass, and a dozen or so people went to the surrounding villages to shop for some food.

Even so, there were still several sentries in the procession, either standing at the junction or hiding in the roadside forest, observing the movements around them. However, if a passer-by passes by, someone will search and inquire about him before he is allowed to leave.

A soldier who was on guard suddenly felt a little urinating, and said to his companion that he was going to urinate in the forest.

As soon as he walked to the edge of the forest, he heard the sound of the grass in front of him, and he leaned over to look at it suspiciously, but the light flashed in front of him, and then there was a "bang" in his ears.

The dense projectile smashed the soldier's chest into a hornet's nest, and blood shot out.

The soldier subconsciously pressed his hands on his chest, but the blood couldn't be stopped, so he could only cover it in vain, and then fell to his knees softly, and then leaned forward, his head fell to the ground, and he knelt on the ground, but he saw blood spurting out of his chest, making a "snort" sound.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

After the sound of the gun exploded, the soldiers who were resting were immediately startled, and while shouting, they went to fetch the bird gun that was placed aside.

Because they didn't know if there were ambushes around, many soldiers fired their guns into the surrounding woods as soon as they got them.

"Bang bang" shot randomly, and black smoke suddenly filled both sides of the official road.

"Don't beat up!"

Xu Guang, who was sitting on a stone, instinctively turned over on the spot after hearing the sound of the gun, and after lying on the ground for a few breaths, he jumped out, drew his knife and called for the soldiers of the left family to quickly surround him. I also saw that my subordinates were firing their guns indiscriminately, and they shouted loudly.

"Big brother, we're surrounded!"

Xu Xing crawled on the ground, and the sound of wine had long been scared.

"Don't panic, tell the brothers to calm down, gather together, and wait for the thieves to get close before fighting!"

In the end, it was the general of the Guogong Mansion, Xu Guang was still calm at a critical time, and under his command, more than two hundred panicked soldiers of the Guogong Mansion quickly gathered together, holding bird guns and looking at both sides vigilantly.

It was only then that they realized that there was no enemy in their sights.

Father-in-law Wei in the distance was very unhappy at this time, his old man did not give the order to attack, which turtle son went fire to expose the target!

In another place, the seventh uncle and grandfather Guo Dafeng was very proud, and his old man finally proved his strength.

However, he was a little nervous at the same time, and he was too nervous, for fear that the peeing guy would see him, so he struck first and defeated the enemy with one blow.

Although he successfully shot that guy, he also exposed the target, and I wonder if the second nerd will scold him for this.

Thinking of this, Guo Dafeng threw the bird gun in his hand to the soldiers on the side without thinking, and at the same time gave affirmation: "This credit is yours." ”

Everyone was exposed, and my father-in-law had nothing to say, he clapped his hands and waved the white handkerchief in his hand, in fact, until this time, his old man was still puzzled, and he didn't understand that the guys carrying bird guns on the road below were not guarding the iron yard, what were they doing when they ran out?

You must know that he doesn't use a knife to kill chickens, so he doesn't have any plan to divert the tiger from the mountain at all.

"Go, shout, just say that our family treats the captives preferentially."

The father-in-law waved his hand, and Ding Xiaogong, who was on the side, hurriedly took out the suona and blew it.

With the sound of suona, a cadre of soldiers in the Duke of Wei was shocked to find that countless heads had poked out from the hills on both sides of the originally quiet place.

At the same time, they found that there were many more birds pointing at them than they did.
