"Superintendent, that Ximen Feng is here again, and there is a servant carrying a box!"
"Box? Haha, let him carry it back. Just say that the governor has many things to do and has no time to see him!" Tie Mo knew Ximen Feng's purpose of coming. He was just afraid that the Chaohu incident would be implicated, so he wanted to go to the governor's house.
It's just a road. In fact, Tie Mo doesn't care at all whether Ximen Feng has anything to do with Chaohu. If he wants to blame it, it's because Ximen Feng has done too many bad things and the business stalls are too big.
I got a letter from Hai Lanzhu a few days ago and intends to do business in Kaifeng Prefecture. But if I want to do business in this area, Ximen Feng must pass the test. Ximen Feng is too greedy. Trading is so profitable, he will tolerate it.
Can he hold his tongue? Of course, he would not dare to go against Northern Shanxi openly, but secretly colluding with the court and causing some losses is almost certain.
For the benefit of his own family, Ximen Feng must die. Since Ximen Feng is already a dead man, why does Tie Mo need to see him?
After leaving the yard, I ran into Orger who was coming over, "How's it going over there at Rousseau? What's going on?"
"Back to the supervisor, everything is as the supervisor thought. Since yesterday, Rousseau has retreated twenty miles, and there is no sign of sending troops to the north. In addition, Lu Heng sent someone to send a military report, saying that Zhu Shen, Shi Ming and others had defected.
, Now there is no threat to the water village in the south of Chaohu Lake."
Hearing that Zhu Shen and others had taken refuge, Tie Mo couldn't help but look happy. Shi Ming and Chen Da were normal people, but Zhu Shen was a bit exciting. Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, there are few who can compete with Lu Tong.
It would be Zhu Shen. It's a pity that this person is not valued by Zhang Xianzhong and seems to be dispensable in Chaohu. But in Tie Mo's view, Zhu Shen, like Ling Zhen, is a typical person who is looked down upon. This
Once the seed is used properly, it can play a big role.
"Send an order to Lu Heng. From today on, you no longer need to guard Xiaolong Mountain. Pass through the water village in the south of Chaohu Lake, enter Yingzhou, join forces with Hua Xiaorong, and approach Shouzhou County. In addition, let General Li take action.
The day is almost gone, there is no benefit in spending any more time!"
"Here!"
Tie Mo's command was determined, and his target was to take Zhang Xianzhong's army near Shouzhou County, but no one knew the details. In fact, as early as four days ago, most of the troops stationed in Xihua County had been secretly transferred to Yingzhou and returned to Shangzhou.
Fortunately, under his command, there are currently less than 2,000 guards in Xihua County. Therefore, if Rousseau really attacks the city at this time, the Iron Governor will have to fight hard. However, if he dares to do so, he is almost certain.
Rousseau was by no means a fool. Could he not have figured out what Zhang Xianzhong was thinking? Moreover, the gates of Xihua County were wide open and everything was as usual. With Rousseau's temperament, he would not dare to act rashly.
Fifty miles south of West China, there is a town called Zhangqiu Town. This town is close to the canal and is quite prosperous. On weekdays, the residents of the town live a relatively good life, but now there is no smile on their faces, because they used to
Since then, six thousand rogue troops have occupied Zhendian. There is an inn in the town called Liuxin Inn, and Rousseau lived in this inn.
At this time, Rousseau frowned and looked intently at the scenery outside the window. Next to him, there stood a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and eyes like red phoenixes. If it weren't for the towering Adam's apple, he would have
They would recognize him as a woman. This person is none other than Yan Jiu, Rousseau's close family member.
"Dong Weng, brothers have been asking about it for a long time. The gate of Xihua County is indeed wide open. There are many strange men coming and going in the camp in the city, but the military camp is empty."
After hearing what Yan Jiu said, Rousseau frowned even more tightly, "Jiulang, what do you think?"
"Back to Dongweng, I thought it would be better not to act rashly. There was no one in the military camp, but there were many strangers in the city. I guess it was Tie Mo's conspiracy. He opened the city gate to lure me
When they go forward, they can place us in the city and raise a strong army to kill them. In addition..." Yan Jiu paused and glanced at the door. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he lay down next to Rousseau's ear and whispered
He said, "In addition, regardless of whether Tie Mo's trick is true or not, we must take it as real. In the future, when Leader Zhang asks why he did not invade Xihua, we can use this to deal with it."
Although Yan Jiu is a young servant, Rousseau has been taught by famous teachers for many years, and his mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After he said this, Rousseau felt that it made sense and nodded lightly. In fact, Rousseau did not want to fight Xihua County from the beginning.
, but when I came outside Xihua County, I saw the city gate wide open, and I felt that it was a scam. I was also afraid that Tie Mo was planning to empty the city, so I sent people to inquire carefully, and only today did I get some clues. Maybe Tie Mo is really
It was a trick, but this trick was a good thing for Rousseau, at least it gave him a reason to stand still.
"Kiuro, what you said is true, but if we do nothing, even if there are sufficient reasons, Leader Zhang will blame us in the future."
Rousseau's concerns were not unreasonable. Yan Jiu frowned and thought for a long time before finally whispering, "Dong Weng, it's not good to do nothing. Now there is a high possibility that Tie Mo will use tricks."
Da, we might as well send people to harass us. If we win, most of the troops will follow. If we lose, we will say that the officers and soldiers are powerful. At that time, I understand that Leader Zhang will not be able to say anything."
"Well, who is the most suitable person to send?" Rousseau mentioned casually, but he never thought that Yan Jiu had already thought about it for him. The corners of his mouth turned up with a bit of a smirk, "Dong Weng, it is most suitable to send the yellow-haired tiger Yan Biao.
.”
When he heard the name of Yan Biao, Rousseau's eyes suddenly lit up. Yan Biao had saved Zhang Xianzhong's life back then. In a certain way, he was more trusted by Zhang Xianzhong than Han Ying and Zhuang Huai. This time, Zhang Xianzhong sent Yan Biao to accompany the army to conquer Xihua.
, I'm afraid it also involves surveillance. It would be best to let Yan Biao go. If Yan Biao wins, most of the troops will follow. If he fails, with Yan Biao helping to speak up, can Zhang Xianzhong still refute his brother's face?
After thinking about the joints, Rousseau quickly convened the leaders for discussion. After some discussion, he decided on the order for Yan Biao to lead the people. Holding the command arrow, Rousseau looked heavy and said seriously, "Brother Yan, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses.
Enter from the south gate. Remember, if you encounter resistance from the officers and soldiers, leave the city immediately and do not hesitate to fight. Remember, this battle should be based on temptation."
"Don't worry, Chief Lu, I know the truth." Yan Biao was very happy, arching his long arms and fluttering his yellow beard. This is the first task. If it is done well, it will be the first achievement. How can Yan Biao be unhappy? Of course,
Yan Biao agreed on his face, but in fact he didn't take Rousseau's words seriously at all. If he couldn't enter the city, it would be better to risk his life and escape. But once he entered the city, if he encountered resistance from the officers and soldiers, he would abandon the city and return. What's the logic of Rousseau?
Is it because he is afraid that Yan Biao will take the lead and he will not look good in front of Zhang Xianzhong?
Yan Biao left thousands of his men and rushed to Xihua County in the evening. As soon as Yan Biao led the people away, the news was quickly delivered to Tie Mo. Hearing that the first to attack the city was Yan Biao, Hou Tie Mo's eyes
A sneer flashed across his face. Rousseau had some great wisdom, but he still lacked a lot. He only thought about how to protect himself, but forgot that nothing was perfect. Hehe, Yan Biao took the lead, so let Yan Biao die.
Stay in Xihua County. I guess Rousseau didn't expect that Yan Biao would lose his life, right?
He called for Orge, Wang Ao and others, and after some instructions, everyone followed the order and left. Tie Mo was not idle either. He changed into a smart outfit, held the governor's sword and led the people away from the county government office. From Zhangqiu Town to Xixi
It only lasted an hour in Huaxian County. When the sun set, Yan Biao led his people to the outside of the county town. At this time, the sun set to the west and the city gate was still wide open, but there were many fewer pedestrians. Yan Biao took a simple knife
, shouted loudly, coupled with the bunch of yellow beards, it was quite scary. When the soldiers and people at the city gate saw the bandits attacking, they immediately panicked and all ran towards the city, "The bandits are attacking the city.
, everyone run for their lives..."
The people were in a turmoil. Because some people were fleeing in, the soldiers couldn't close the city gate. Yan Biao laughed loudly and led his minions with a simple knife into the county town behind the chaotic people.
Even Yan Biao thought it was going too smoothly. Could it be that God took special care of him just because his name contained the word Biao? Most of Yan Biao's minions were bandits from various mountains in the past. They were suppressed by Chaohu rules before.
It was normal, but as soon as they entered Xihua County, the prototype immediately appeared. A group of people no longer gathered together, divided into dozens of groups and looted the whole city. Some people even attacked some women in the city, intending to kidnap them back to the village.
Down.
Seeing this, Yan Biao was so angry that he flew into a rage. He waved his sword and said angrily, "No robbing, no robbing. I said no robbing. They all joined forces with me to attack the county government. As long as they kill those birds."
Supervisor, this is a huge contribution."
Yan Biao shouted to stop, and after cutting down several minions in a row, he was able to control the situation. Waiting to regroup, everyone at Shele Nanmen planned to attack Xihua County Yamen, but they ran north along the main street.
After a while, Yan Biao felt that something was a little abnormal. Just now, the streets were noisy and people were running around. How could there be no hair on his body now? When did these people run so fast?
The situation was a bit wrong, but even so, Yan Biao still didn't take it seriously. After all, the contribution to hunting Tie Mo was so great that it was hard not to be tempted. With a clang, a piece of wooden beam fell and flew all over the ground.
Yan Biao took a closer look at the dust and found that more than a dozen people had emerged from the side street to the west. They were all dressed as common people in Tsing Yi, but these people were holding steel knives and forming a tight formation. How could this kind of momentum be expected of ordinary people? Let Yan
What was even more alarming to Biao was that there were many people running out of the streets on both sides, and some even jumped out of the houses nearby. At some point, there were countless people holding long bows on the roofs of the houses on both sides.
.
A black-armored general rode on horseback and held a gun. He looked cold and calm, saying, "Yellow-haired tiger, Yan Biao? Haha, I have been waiting for you for a long time. A fool like you should not be ashamed to say that he wants to capture my iron governor."
?”
"Are you the imperial eagle claw?" Although Yan Biao was asking, he was actually very sure in his heart. Now he also regretted not listening to Rousseau. If he had evacuated as soon as he found something wrong when he entered the city, he would not have fallen into this situation.
So dangerous.
"Brothers, if you want to live, fight with these eagle claws." Yan Biao took the lead with his sword. He was born with a pair of long arms. As soon as these long arms stretched out, he immediately pulled a cavalryman off his horse, grabbed the war horse and headed towards Org
He rushed forward. Yan Biao brandished his sword with a bit of might, but Orger didn't take it seriously. He took a few steps back from his horse, waved his hand, and the musketeers on both sides released arrows. Bullets rained down.
, on the broad street, the minions were unobstructed and suffered heavy casualties. Even Yan Biao was forced to roll off his horse and hid under a cutting board. Yan Biao shouted angrily, "You bird
Claw, if you are capable, fight me for three hundred rounds."
Yan Biao shouted loudly, if it were Liu Guoneng or Geng Zhongming, he would probably smile with disdain and let people shoot Yan Biao to death. However, Orger is a Mongolian, and he has a fighting heart in his bones. He raised his hand to signal fire.
The gunman stopped shooting. He tightened his grip on the steel gun and sneered, "You don't know whether to live or die. I will fight with you."
Without the bullet rain to suppress him, Yan Biao grabbed a war horse and rushed towards Orger. Under the red sunset, Orger's spear was glowing with a faint brilliance. Orger's spear was very strange.
In addition to the spear head, there were also raised hooks on both sides. Seeing Yan Biao rushing towards him, Orger shook the reins of his horse, jumped to the left, raised his right hand, and flicked the steel spear from bottom to top.
It seems to be an understatement, but this blow is extremely powerful. The horizontal stroke of Yan Biao's sword made the tiger's mouth numb.
Although he blocked the blow, the war horse passed by him. Orger held the handle of the gun with one hand and pulled it back hard. He heard Yan Biao let out a shrill scream. It turned out that just when he missed the target, the steel gun passed by him.
The protruding barb next to the gun actually made a deep gash on his back, and blood instantly soaked his back.
Only then did everyone know that the barbs on the head of Org's spear were originally used in this way. Long spears are all about stabbing, and Org's steel spear can not only stab, pick, but also cut like a spurge.
After just one encounter, Yan Biao lost his knife and was seriously injured. Under the severe pain, he could not sit still and staggered off his horse.
Orger was not in a hurry to take Yan Biao's life. No matter what, Yan Biao couldn't escape. Of course, Yan Biao had no intention of fighting Orger again. With the help of the two minions, he was embarrassed.
Unable to escape, he fled into the crowd. The gangsters gathered together and planned to fight to the death. Naturally, Orger would not give these people a chance. He waved his hand and the whole street was once again shrouded in a rain of bullets. Faced with countless bullets and a blockade
, rushing out was in vain, and Yan Biao felt a little scared. He found that the Northern Shanxi Army was very different from other officers and soldiers. These people had a measured advance and retreat, and were not afraid of death. In front of them, he had more than a thousand troops.
He didn't even have a chance to fight.
"Evacuate, everyone go south and kill. You can survive by escaping from the south gate..."
"This... How can we escape? Chief Yan, why don't we surrender..." One of the minions just opened his mouth, and Yan Biao raised his hand with the steel knife he picked up and hacked the minion to death.
, his yellow beard was covered with blood, and his eyes were wider than copper bells, "Whoever dares to surrender again will end up like this."
