They checked the secret passage and collapsed and were flooded, which means that all their clues were broken and they all returned to the starting point.

This situation is not only high hope, but even Hong Chengchou and others also felt despair. They completely fell into the other party's trick and were plotted against by the other party.

Such a situation made many people angry and cried out loud. Their money was gone. They worked hard for half their lives and had no money back. They were ordinary people.

The gentry and the powerful all understand the same thing. They can live such a rich life because they have money. If their money is gone, they will be no different from ordinary people, and they are even worse than ordinary people. If their situation is not enough money to maintain, you will not be able to live a life like Fan Ruoshui.

Not only these rich people, but also Gao Wang, as the prefect, are like this. His current life also requires a lot of money to maintain and maintain relationships in all aspects. Without these things, his official position may not be guaranteed. Thinking of this, Gao Wang also cried bitterly and knelt on the ground. He said sternly to Hong Chengchou: "Sinister villain, today you are not me."

Gao Wang rushed towards the other party directly, ready to die with the other party.

After struggling for so long, he returned to the starting point. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh, how to wipe this shit clean? He smiled bitterly and ordered someone to push Gao Wang away.

They raided Qingyun Mountain last night and broke through Qingyun Cave, but now it has been almost half a day. They are all hungry, but no one is willing to leave, and no one is willing to leave. They all know that after leaving here, everything has become a bubble.

Of course, Hong Chengchou wanted to leave very much, and his subordinates wanted to leave too, but the powerful and noble gentry pressed them to death. The other party was holding weapons in their hands. As long as they dared to escape, the other party would try their best to block them. They shouted that they wanted Hong Chengchou to give an explanation.

What can I explain this time? Could it be that Hong Chengchou can still repay this amount of money? First of all, he can't afford to pay back so much money. Not to mention that Hong Chengchou doesn't have so much money, among the rich people in Jiangnan, and the entire Ming Dynasty, no one has so much money. Even if the Ming court comes forward to repay it, he can't pay it back.

This is why everyone is desperate and angry. After all, their money will be gone, and they will be finished.

So they are hungry and confronted here, hoping to have a chance to breathe and have a solution to the problem.

But anyone with a little rationality will understand one thing, that is, there is no solution at all, and you can't get the money. Can they still expect the other party to give you money? This is impossible.

Of course, Hong Chengchou wanted to leave, but he knew that this was something that touched his whole body. If he insisted on leaving, the other party would definitely intercept him because he also understood that he became the other party's only hope.

In fact, Hong Chengchou was also smiling bitterly. Even if I agreed, what's the use? Can I still take out tens of millions of taels of silver to compensate? In terms of actual wealth, Hong Chengchou has less money than any rich man present. After all, he is an official, but he is just powerful, and he is not as much as these people when it comes to money.

Then it is not a solution to continue like this. If the night goes on, there will be more dreams. For example, the countrymen are now very impatient. He can use military orders and past prestige to restrain these people, but after such a thing, does he still have prestige?

In the past, he, the governor, could have promoted them and made money, and they all obeyed him. But now he offended the entire Jiangnan Rich Group and his future was obviously not optimistic. The soldiers immediately changed their orders and did not implement them as strictly as before.

Moreover, the soldiers' patience is also being reduced because they are hungry. After they are hungry, they want to fight out with the knife in their hands.

These people also understood one thing, that is, they would not get any benefits when they stay here, so they would prepare to evacuate one after another, stay away from this place of failure. As for their great general Hong Chengchou, how to fight with others, this is the matter of Grandmaster Hong and it is not their business.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to riot, Hong Chengchou also felt a headache and quickly ordered his subordinates to comfort him. After returning, everyone made a double noise.

His men said with a wry smile: "Master, do we still have the money to make double noises? After stabbing such a big basket, will our food sound still be there?"

Hong Chengchou said, "It's not that I took away their money. Their money is gone. What's the matter with me? I won't recognize this account. They can do whatever they want. Can they still take out tens of millions of taels of silver from me? Can they still take my military pay to recharge?"

Hong Chengchou had decided to leave, but he didn't know how to escape. He had no choice but to face the other party's siege. He could not fight these people, the most important thing was that his subordinates dared not take ruthless measures.

Even the wealthy businessmen such as Gao Wang were very uneasy. They were now in a certain despair. They had no money. After catching Hong Chengchou, they were the only way to find their money. But they also knew that this hope was very slim, but at the critical moment of life and death, even if the hope was slim, they would seize it tightly and would never let it go.

While the two sides were still persevering, they could only hear the slight tremor of the earth and see a large number of cavalry coming.

There are so many cavalry on the ground of Yangzhou. You don’t need to check that it is Liu Bu’s cavalry. Only Liu Bu’s Qi army has thousands of cavalry, known as thousands of servants, and is the strongest army in the nearby area. This is also the sign that the Liu family has recently made. His cavalry has been active here for generations, which has greatly comforted the local people.

You should know that even the cavalry of this era is the most powerful force, thousands of cavalry are already at the level of border generals, and can be said to be the power of contemporary top generals. Although there are more than a dozen generals under Hong Chengchou, who has no thousands of cavalry under his command? But these cavalry can only be considered as horse-riding soldiers at most. Liu Bu Cavalry and others are real cavalry, most of which are recruited from the border army or the Mongolian area. Their equipment is equipped with a full set of iron armor equipment, which makes Hong Chengchou jealous of him.

Why do other people's cavalry be soldiers riding horses? Liu Bu's cavalry are real cavalry? Because most of the cavalry he recruited were mercenaries, and most of them were nomadic soldiers who grew up on horseback. They were not the cavalry who had been trained on horseback for several years in the Central Plains. The cavalry had a hard-core standard, that is, they could eat and sleep on horseback, or they could also shoot bows left and right on horseback.

Liu Bu led a large number of cavalry to sweep away the clouds, but it made Hong Chengchou and others panic. He thought the other party would definitely come back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Seeing Liu Bu's cavalry rushing back, the gentry and wealthy people led by Gao Wang were very happy and applauded and cheered.

Liu Bu's cavalry was originally on the official road of the canal and rushed to the foot of Qingyun Mountain. After arriving at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, they divided into several routes to encircle the place. This is the benefit of the cavalry. Even if the number of others is small, they can encircle and encircle tens of thousands of people on the other side.

Hong Chengchou's troops had already wanted to leave. Seeing the other party surrounding them so strongly, they were even more panicked and wanted to leave even more. Among them, only a small number were riding horses. If the other party chased them with all their might, how could they escape the pursuit of the other cavalry?

Liu Guozheng was also an excellent general. When he saw Liu Bu sending out cavalry to encircle them directly, he was not showing any weakness and immediately ordered his troops to form a formation to fight against the opponent's cavalry.

However, what he called forming a formation was also a very negative way of resistance. You should know that the only way to resist cavalry with infantry is to form a formation, and you must also have a lot of equipment, such as long spears and horses.

Like them, there are only some simple portable weapons, not even many bows and arrows, but just temporary formations. If they really want to deal with the impact of cavalry like Liu Bu, which is equipped with iron armor, it is impossible. So seeing Liu Bu sweeping over like waves, these soldiers also have their faces ashen. Although they are elite soldiers, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death and will not die.

Using a simple military formation to fight against the impact of the opponent's cavalry is originally very dangerous and is a choice that is forced.

Seeing the backbone coming, Gao Wang and the gentry were cheering loudly, as if their parents were coming.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hong Chengchou immediately showed his banner and the banner of the governors of his five provinces. He believed that as long as he showed such a banner, he would never dare to attack him unless the other party wanted to rebel. If he attacked the governors of the five provinces appointed by the court, it would be a crime against the law and there was no difference between rebellion.

At this time, Liu Bu's deputy Liu Kang rode his horse and came out from behind. He said loudly: "General Liu Bu, the General of Fengyang, is here. You can put down your weapons immediately, otherwise you will kill them!"

This sentence should have been said by Hong Chengshou's deputy Hong Yun, but was taken first by the other party. This made him very angry and very dissatisfied. A small general was so arrogant and arrogant, but he was still not afraid. He said loudly: "The emperor personally ordered the governor of the five provinces, General Hong, here. Do you dare to attack the commander camp? Is it an intention to rebel?"

The Hong Chengchou name was revealed, which in many cases could scare the enemy, but the Liu family army and others were not afraid at all and directly ordered their soldiers to encircle them in multiple ways.
