The leader was a centurion from the Tanzhou garrison.
After the handover with Lu Liang, they took Lu Deye and dozens of others to Tanzhou.
This journey naturally attracted many people to watch.
I'm afraid something really big is going to happen.
The head of the Lu family and other wealthy businessmen were taken away by soldiers. The weather in You County must have changed.
Lu Deye and others were all frightened.
On the way to Tanzhou, they realized that they all underestimated Lu Liang. There was someone behind Lu Liang.
But there is nothing they can do now and they can only resign themselves to fate.
…
Liu Mao was not happy being the county magistrate in Ningyuan County.
Although Zou Yi is only in his twenties, he is not very experienced in his actions. However, he has the full support of the Wang and Xu families behind him.
The most important thing is that the Wang family also found a son-in-law in Tan Yutang. The governor Jiang Shi also had an ambiguous attitude.
Pan Kui never said he wanted to cause trouble for Zou Yi.
Liu Mao had to consider these issues if he wanted to replace Zou Yi.
In addition, after Zou Yi took over as the county magistrate, he did not suppress the other major families in Ningyuan, which resulted in the ambiguous attitude of those families now.
No one is really willing to take that big risk for Liu Mao.
Liu Mao seemed to have a feeling of powerlessness.
He could only wait.
Waiting for the progress of Luliang's suppression of bandits in You County.
If the suppression of bandits in Luliang fails, he will take over and continue to suppress the bandits. If the suppression of bandits in Luliang succeeds, he can also take over the position of magistrate of You County.
Of course he personally still prefers the former.
At his age, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, he may end up as a county magistrate in his life. Only great achievements can make him reach the height of his father.
"Father!"
Ningyuan County Government.
Liu Huafeng hurriedly walked into Liu Mao's office.
Liu Mao frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
He was still very particular about rules and usually did not allow Liu Huafeng to come to the county government office.
Liu Huafeng said hurriedly: "Something happened!"
"Is your grandmother unwell?" Liu Mao said.
In the morning, he asked Liu Huafeng to go back to Tanzhou to visit his old mother.
"No. Grandma is very good."
Liu Huafeng shook his head and said: "It's the news about Lu Liang. I heard it from a classmate who worked in the Tanzhou government office. Lu Liang was quite effective in suppressing bandits in You County. In just half a month, two mountains were wiped out.
Bandits, dozens of people were captured. Even the wealthy gentry in You County who had close contacts with the bandits were captured by him. The governor has already sent people to You County to take over those wealthy gentry."
"Father! If these wealthy gentry are captured in Tanzhou, Lu Liang will be free to suppress bandits in You County."
Liu Mao frowned suddenly and said in a low voice: "How did he suppress the bandits? Could it be the grandmaster next to him?"
"no."
Liu Huafeng shook his head with an ugly expression, "I asked specifically. The two hundred sergeants he borrowed from the Chaling Army were the ones who helped him suppress the bandits."
Liu Mao lost his voice and said: "How is this possible? If Lu Fang doesn't have a feud with Yang Mao's son who controls the Chaling Army, how can the people of the Chaling Army really help him?"
"This...I don't know. Maybe I was bewitched by the two brothers. Especially Lu Fang, who is eloquent, it is not impossible."
To this day, Liu Huafeng still feels a little itchy when talking about Lu Fang.
He was just an uneducated guy, but he had repeatedly frustrated their father and son.
After a pause, Liu Huafeng said again: "Father, should we think of a way to cause some trouble for them?"
"What can be done?"
Liu Mao sighed suddenly, "It's not that I haven't thought about it these days, but we are not familiar with You County, so we can't cause them any trouble at all."
There was some helplessness on his face.
Ever since he set foot on Pan Kui's pirate ship and chose to go against Lu Liang and Lu Fang, he was really tired.
Liu Huafeng didn't know what to say.
Given Liu Mao's official rank and position, there really was no room for maneuver in this matter.
Liu Mao was silent for a while, and then said: "You should ignore these things recently and concentrate on preparing for the exam! Try to pass the Jinshi exam this year. As long as you can pass the Jinshi exam, it is not that important whether my career can go further.
.”
"Um."
Liu Huafeng nodded.
…
Chaling Army Barracks.
"Hush!"
A fast horse swept through the yellow dust and rolled towards it.
The knight on horseback, wearing light armor, stopped in front of the military camp and took off the sign from his waist, "I am here to deliver a message under the orders of Jiedu Envoy!"
The tooth plate has the words Jingnan Jiedushifu.
The Chaling Army guarding the gate did not dare to slack off and quickly moved out of the way.
The knight patted his horse and galloped towards the military camp.
After a while, he left the military camp again.
Within the main camp.
Yang Mao was sitting on the main seat, holding a letter in his hand, his face extremely ugly, "Han Feihong, this bastard!"
The letter is a letter of commendation.
Written by Pan Nanzhang himself, he commended the Chaling Army led by Han Feihong for their performance in suppressing bandits.
But in Yang Mao's view, this was not a reward, it was all ridicule and blame.
Pan Nanzhang asked him to lend Luliang two hundred Chaling troops, just for show.
The result is now good, Han Feihong is doing well in suppressing bandits in You County.
Isn't this a way to dismantle Yang Mao?
How should he explain to Pan Nanzhang?
"The bastard who eats the inside and outside!"
Yang Mao tore up the letter in his hand and felt waves of anger rising to his head.
After a while, he stood up suddenly and shouted outside: "Call General Yu Pian to come to me!"
"yes!"
A reply sounded outside.
Then soon, a middle-aged man in casual clothes entered the room, "Capital Commander, are you looking for me?"
Yang Mao said with a cold face: "Order all your cavalry immediately! Follow me to You County!"
The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "Something happened?"
Yang Mao didn't answer, only gritted his teeth and said: "I want to make that bastard Han Feihong look good!"
The general named Yu had a stern look on his face, said nothing, cupped his hands and walked out.
It must have been Han Feihong who provoked Yang Mao.
But he couldn't ask for it.
There were only two cavalrymen in the Chaling Army, each with 500 men. He and Han Feihong each led one.
Regardless of his combat power or in front of Yang Mao, he was severely suppressed by Han Feihong. Naturally, he wished that Han Feihong would be unlucky.
Soon, hundreds of cavalrymen gathered at Chaling Military Academy.
All were wearing light armor and carrying sabers. Several black flags were flying, with tiger-shaped pictures and text on them, and the word "Chaling" embroidered on them.
Yang Mao also came out of the main camp wearing light armor, taking Yang Chengyi with him. Yang Chengyi led two horses.
Arriving in front of the army, Yang Mao said with a smile on his face: "Let's go!"
Then he and Yang Chengyi got on the horse.
Both father and son's faces were a little blue.
Lu Fang received a series of hate points from Liu Huafeng, Yang Chengyi and others in Youxian County Government, which was somewhat inexplicable.
