Faced with the brutal battle to defend the city, Sun Hao had actually already made the worst plan in his mind. He not only had people secretly bury gold and silver cakes worth more than three million strings of cash in the garden of a house under Sun Hao's name.
He also asked Dong Ping to collect the whereabouts of the courtesans who had been redeemed in the past. At the critical moment of life and death, Sun Hao was even prepared to do some dirty things in order to get more powerful generals and soldiers.
However, after Dong Ping introduced the whereabouts of the five previous courtesans to Sun Hao one by one, Sun Hao found that he could not mess with four of them.
A top courtesan from the same class as Xie Wan'er is now the concubine of the governor Chen Fengshi, and another top courtesan is the seventh concubine of Cao Tingjin, the commander-in-chief of the Ganyang Army.
The other two courtesans were concubines of the vanguard commander-in-chief Meng Bingrong and the rear commander-in-chief Liu Yin.
Even if Sun Hao wanted to do something dirty with the above four courtesans, it would be difficult to succeed. After all, these four families have at least hundreds of family soldiers.
Besides, not every courtesan's charm value can reach or exceed 95 points, and Sun Hao is not willing to provoke those four big men for an unknown possibility.
When Sun Hao heard that the last courtesan, Ouyang Xiangyun, was a concubine of a Western Region Hu merchant, he couldn't help but ask Dong Ping, "What's the situation with that Hu merchant?"
Dong Ping then said, "Master, the Hu merchant named Aixier lives on Chongyi Street in Beibafang.
He is the largest spice merchant in Ganyang City. He monopolizes at least 70% of the spices shipped from the Western Regions to Ganyang City.
In addition to the courtesan Ouyang Xiangyun, it is said that Aixir has more than 20 concubines, all of whom are beauties of natural beauty, many of whom are from various countries in the Western Regions.
However, Axier has deep connections with the provincial government, the Ganyang Army, and several major gangs in the city. If anything goes wrong, it will be very troublesome."
At this time, in the room, except for Sun Hao, everyone else was a powerful warrior of the "Annual Signing System", so when they heard Sun Hao asking Dong Ping about the whereabouts of the previous top courtesans, they already understood what Sun Hao wanted to do.
But no one thought there was anything wrong with what Sun Hao did. In a situation where Ganyang City could be breached by the Hun army at any time, the more strength Sun Hao could have around him, the greater his chances of escaping in the future.
Xiong Kuohai chuckled, "Since that Hu Shang has so many beautiful concubines, perhaps there are several of them who are qualified to enjoy the young master's kindness.
It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Tonight, I will lead all of us brothers to become bandits!"
Xiong Kuohai's words did make Sun Hao a little excited. If among Axier's more than 20 concubines, there were really a few women whose charm value reached or exceeded 95 points, Sun Hao would make a lot of money.
Sun Hao turned to Dong Ping and asked, "How many guards does Hu Shang have at home now?"
Dong Ping replied, "Originally, Aixier's family had over 300 guards, all of whom were barbarian swordsmen from the Western Regions.
However, due to the forced conscription by the provincial government, three hundred guards in Axier's family were conscripted to the east city wall. Now, there are probably only sixty or seventy guards left in Axier's family.
In addition, Axier has more than ten very skilled personal guards around him."
Due to the tense situation of defending the city, the provincial government not only forcibly conscripted the guards of the wealthy businessmen in the city, but even the six generals of the Ganyang Army had to send some of their family soldiers to the city walls as required by the provincial government.
Sun Hao nodded slightly, then said to everyone, "Brothers, you all know our current situation.
It's not that I, Sun Hao, want to do such a dirty thing as robbing a woman. It's just that I want to survive. Even if there are some things I don't want to do, I have to bite the bullet and do them.
The fewer people who know about what happened tonight, the better, except for Yu Juluo, Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui and He Ruobi who stayed behind to guard the north city wall.
The others, plus the eighteen Yanyun Riders, will follow me to Chongyi Street to do some work!"
In Ganyang City at night, a curfew had already been implemented due to the siege of the Hun army, but the curfew had no effect on Sun Hao.
Sun Hao is not only the captain of the wing army, but also the mainstay of the north city wall.
Every night during the curfew, the provincial government would send someone to inform Sun Hao of the password used by the patrolling soldiers so that Sun Hao could continue to send reinforcements to the north city wall from the various branches of the Sanshui Society.
Sun Hao and his men successfully arrived at the mansion of the Hu merchant Axier and found that the mansion was very large, with at least a hundred houses.
Sun Hao whispered to everyone, "Everyone, go in over the wall and make as little noise as possible. Leave the night guards to Luo Yi and the others."
As he spoke, Sun Hao covered his face with a black cloth, and the others also covered their faces with black cloth.
Then, several of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun placed the wooden ladders they carried directly onto the courtyard wall...
Axel lay in bed, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.
In fact, in addition to being a spice merchant, Axier is also the head of the Gulu Kingdom's spies in Ganyang City. Axier also has some blood ties with the royal family of Gulu Kingdom.
Axier's main task in Ganyang City was to collect intelligence on the Ganyang Army and prevent the Ganyang Army from suddenly attacking the Suolong Pass of Gul Kingdom.
Now several princes of Gule Kingdom are still fighting fiercely for the throne. If Ganyang City, or even Longyu Pass opposite Suolong Pass, falls into the hands of the Huns at this time, it will be very dangerous for Gule Kingdom.
The aggressiveness of the Xiongnu Khanate was not comparable to that of the Liang State, which was plagued by internal and external troubles.
Suddenly, Axil heard a faint noise outside. He immediately turned over and pulled out the long knife beside the bed, then shouted loudly to the door: "Nusha, Alifu, what happened?"
Nusa and Alifu are both Axir's personal guards. Every night when Axir goes to bed, there will be two personal guards standing guard outside the house.
However, Axil did not hear any response from the two personal guards, which made Axil's heart sink.
Axil quickly turned around and walked to the side of the wooden bed. He bent down, grabbed the two blue bricks on the ground with both hands, and pulled them up with all his strength.
I saw a dozen blue bricks laid together, as if they were connected to a square lid, which was turned up to reveal a black hole.
Just as Axil was about to enter the cave, a dagger was suddenly placed on Axil's neck. "Thank goodness I waited for a while. I didn't expect to find such a discovery."
The one holding the dagger is Luo Yi. The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are not only fierce generals on the battlefield, but also proficient in the art of assassination. Therefore, the protagonists of tonight's operation are played by the eighteen Yanyun Riders.
The whole operation went smoothly. All the guards in Axier's house and Axier's personal guards, whether they were on night watch or sleeping in the house, were killed silently by the eighteen Yanyun cavalry.
However, in the process of controlling the female relatives and servants, some of them were ruthlessly killed by Sun Hao and his men because they shouted loudly.
