Li Mugang was about to close his eyes and enjoy the feeling of conquering a beauty.
I was almost frightened by this voice.
About to get angry.
Only then did he realize that Song Mingli, who was sent to investigate the news in Sanhe County, had returned.
This is a big deal and cannot be delayed.
Li Mu raised and lowered his hands on the beautiful woman for a while, then reluctantly walked out.
"What's going on?!"
"What's going on in Sanhe County?"
Li Mu walked out angrily.
"Sir, it's not good!"
"According to inquiries from my subordinates, all the troops we sent to Sanhe County have been killed!"
Song Mingli ignored Li Mu's dissatisfaction and said to Li Mu.
"What?!"
"Killed?"
"Where's Zhang Shuo?!"
Li Mu was shocked when he heard this.
Zhang Shuo had extraordinary martial arts skills and had 500 men under his command, but they were all killed just like that?
No one escaped?
"It is said that he was arrested!"
Song Mingli said with a solemn expression.
"What?!"
"Caught?"
"How is this possible?"
Li Mu was even more surprised.
It is much more difficult to capture a person alive on the battlefield than to kill him.
Unless the military strength is completely superior.
"What's going on?"
"Tell me in detail!"
Li Mu was anxious.
"Sir, there is no need to inquire in detail. The news has spread throughout Sanhe County now."
"The county magistrate of their Sanhe County captured all five hundred men alive without any effort and without losing a single person."
"He even captured our military commander."
"My subordinates made extensive inquiries and discovered that this is actually the case."
Song Mingli said to Li Mu.
"What?"
"Capture them all alive?"
"No one was lost?"
"impossible!"
Li Mu calmed down after hearing this.
Five hundred men and horses, plus Zhang Shuo.
Capture them all alive?
Sanhe County has not suffered any losses?
Are you going to make trouble with me?
If you say.
If all these five hundred men and horses were really killed.
That's still possible. After all, it's totally possible to have a fight.
But you want to capture him alive.
Are our five hundred people just wooden people?
Can't you run away if you can't beat him?
"My subordinates also feel strange!"
"But before we could continue our investigation, we discovered a military camp with soldiers patrolling around it. We were worried about being exposed, so we came back."
Song Mingli naturally found it incredible, but after receiving the news, he had no time to think too much.
I was anxious to come back and report the news.
"In my opinion, this is very likely to be news spread intentionally by Sanhe County!"
"We have to think about it the other way around, why did they say this deliberately and what is their purpose?"
"It is very possible that our troops were indeed killed, and at the same time, Sanhe County also suffered heavy losses."
"There are almost no people available!"
"That's why they said that deliberately, and also deliberately placed the military camp outside the city to create the illusion of a large number of troops, so that we could stand still and not dare to continue attacking Sanhe County. They really had a good plan!"
"Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"
Li Mu said coldly.
"Your Majesty is right!"
"According to my subordinates' observations from a distance, the military camp is surrounded by farmland, and there are people cultivating it."
"Not a soldier at all."
"That being said, it's quite possible!"
Song Mingli reacted when he heard what Li Mu said.
"Then Sir, what should we do next?"
"Why don't I lead another group of troops, take advantage of the situation, and take Sanhe County directly?"
Song Mingli became excited as soon as he heard this.
Although I have never led an army, this is a good opportunity to pick up the pieces.
If I can capture Sanhe County, it will be a big achievement. Maybe the position of Sanhe County Magistrate will be mine!
"No!"
"Keep waiting!"
"Let me think about it!"
Li Mu looked at Song Mingli and naturally knew what he was thinking.
But Li Mu also sent a few people to Sanhe County to investigate in disguise. He needed to wait until accurate news came back before he could make a decision!
My current self.
Every step is crucial.
If you underestimate the enemy or fall into the opponent's trap, you will be doomed.
…
Beihai County.
County government.
"You mean, all the five hundred people in Yunzhong County were killed by people from Sanhe County?"
"Or captured alive?"
"Are you sure?"
Ge Hong asked in disbelief.
"Absolutely true!"
"When my subordinates got the news, they were very puzzled and made sure again and again."
"This man was placed in Sanhe County by his subordinates a long time ago. He is now a centurion in the military camp. His information cannot be wrong!"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
In fact, the other soldiers were not very clear about the entire beheading operation and the details of the drug administration.
After all, the only people involved were members of Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry.
And for those who were captured, it was also a huge shame, so naturally they all said something vague.
It is only known to the outside world.
All captured alive.
At most, some people know that the five hundred men and horses were captured because they ate something unclean and got food poisoning, which made them unable to fight.
"What is the background of the current magistrate of Sanhe County?"
"He is actually so capable."
Ge Hong asked the visitor.
"This man's name is Huang Chenzhi, and he has been the chief registrar of Sanhe County before."
"But according to the intelligence from my subordinates, the real magistrate of Sanhe County now is not the one named Huang, but the previous Zhang Bao!"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
"Um?"
"Zhang Bao?"
"Isn't this person killed?"
"Isn't the imperial decree issued?"
Ge Hong asked in shock.
"grown ups!"
"This person is really bold!"
"He actually killed the imperial envoy, disguised himself as a bandit, and then sneaked back into the county government."
"He is commanding from secret!"
The source of the information for the visitor was the centurion in the military camp in Sanhe County.
Naturally, I am familiar with everything about Zhang Bao.
"oh?"
"Is there such a thing?!"
"This way, it will be easier to handle!"
"With this handle, no matter how powerful he is, he can't change the world!"
Ge Hong's eyes shone.
"Sir, can we take action now?"
"I heard that Chu La, who was newly appointed in Heyang County, has been making a lot of moves recently. Those in Heyang County who did not support the governor have basically been dealt with."
"But several county magistrates in Sanhe County were all Chen Dadao's subordinates before, and none of them are soft persimmons!"
"I'm afraid Chu La won't be that easy to deal with."
"If we help, will the governor look at you differently?"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
"Now is not the time."
"Chu La has just started, and it's a time for fighting. Now that it has passed, people may not appreciate it."
"When Chu La's abilities are fully used, and he asks us to come to him, that's when he will show our value!"
"The longer we stretch it, the better it is for us!"
"When Heyang County is at the end of its own internal strife, and I, Beihai County, step in to clean up the mess, maybe there will be no more Heyang County in the future."
Ge Hong said coldly.
"yes!"
"Best regards, sir!"
The visitor raised his hand and said.
"Let that person calm down recently. It's nothing serious. Try not to contact us to avoid exposing his identity."
"If we make good use of this person, he will be a great help to us."
"What is this person's name?"
Ge Hong asked the visitor.
"Understood, sir!"
"This person's name is Cheng Maoye. We arranged it a long time ago. His background is very clean. Even if they investigate, they can't find anything!"
The visitor said with a smile.
"That's good."
"You can't tell, this drama by the governor is really lively..."
Ge Hong said lightly, with a wicked smile on his lips.
