When Lao He heard this, he was stunned. He quickly packed the things in his hands with a baggage, stuffed it on the bed, unfolded the quilt to cover it, and then ran out.
"How many people are there?"
"Who is leading the team?"
Zhang Bao asked Bai Fang.
At this time, Bai Fang had already marked the positions of several groups of troops on the map for Zhang Bao.
"Most of them are thousands of people. Our people don't dare to get too close. Judging from the clothes, the leader of the team is above the rank of general."
"And with so many situations happening at once, there is definitely something wrong!"
Bai Fang said to Zhang Bao.
"How far is the nearest group of men from here?"
Zhang Bao asked with a frown.
"More than seventy miles away. Judging from the speed they are traveling, they should be able to arrive tonight!"
Bai Fang said with some worry.
With so many people coming back, Jimo County was surrounded by a faint force. Once the battle started, it would be difficult for these two thousand people to be their opponents.
"Don't panic!"
"If they really knew, they would never come back with such a small number of people."
"It's probably for testing."
Zhang Bao said to Bai Fang.
Bai Fang looked at Zhang Bao's calm look, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down.
"Judging from their numbers, fighting head-on is not an option. If a fight breaks out, it will be difficult for us to kill them quickly. Not to mention they are too scattered, and we don't have many explosive packs left."
"Once there is a stalemate, they will take the opportunity to send the news back. With so many of us inside Dongzhou, even if we capture Yang Gan, it will be difficult to escape."
"And the reason why they sent out troops after receiving the letter is obviously because of Yang Gan's tricks!"
"I still underestimate him."
Zhang Bao analyzed it while looking at the map.
"Made!"
"I should have punished him severely at that time!"
Bai Fang said regretfully.
"It's not too late to clean up now. You go and cut out Yang Gan's tongue first, and then break off all the hands and legs except his right hand!"
"Dare you fool me?!"
"You have to pay the price!"
Zhang Bao said coldly.
"yes!"
Bai Fang said and was about to go.
"Wait a minute. When you do it, bring the current butler over and let him watch. After the fight is over, bring the butler over to me. I want to use him!"
Zhang Bao thought for a while and said to Bai Fang.
Bai Fang nodded and took the people out.
After a while.
Yang Gan's heart-rending shouts came from the side, but the shouts stopped abruptly after a burst of whining sounds.
After a while.
The housekeeper, who was trembling with fear, was brought to Zhang Bao.
"At that time, the housekeeper made a rebellion, set fire to the military camp, and seriously injured Yang Gan, the state pastor. He is now recuperating. No matter who comes, let them come in alone to visit."
"All the soldiers will be resettled in the military camp, do you understand?"
Zhang Bao said to the man.
"Yes yes yes!"
"I will do as you say!"
After the housekeeper saw his boss' tongue cut out, how could he dare to say anything else?
Moreover, during this period of contact with Zhang Bao and others, the housekeeper also discovered that these people are kind-hearted and kind to others when they are fine.
But if something really happened, he would pull out the sword when he was told, kill when he was told to kill, and even blink his eyelids when killing.
It's so scary.
Moreover, such a small number of people dare to go deep into the interior of Dongzhou and control their state pastoralists. What else do they dare not do?
So the current housekeeper is already obedient to Zhang Baofu.
Seeing the housekeeper tremblingly walking out, Zhang Bao called Lao He over again.
"Uncle He, go get some medicine, something that can make people faint!"
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
"It's already this time, why are you still using drugs?"
"Let's just poison them and kill them all!"
Lao He said to Zhang Bao.
"It's not necessary. As long as people can come in, we can easily control it. These medicines are mainly given to the soldiers. Once they are poisoned, someone will react quickly."
"If you take drugs, you can more or less think that you are drunk."
"When the time comes, let the people of the Tielin Army ambush among them, and both sides attack at the same time. It would be best if we can kill them quietly."
"The trouble now is that we have to find a way to get them to come in batches. According to this time, the batch arriving tonight will be easy to handle, but the ones arriving early tomorrow morning will be almost at the same time. With so many people, it is difficult to handle them at the same time.
deal with."
Zhang Bao frowned and said.
"Let's do this for now! Uncle He, hurry up and get some medicine. Then get some more wine from the city and mix the medicine into it in advance. Just take it one step at a time!"
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
Lao He shouted at the women's kitchen knife team to go out as if his butt was on fire.
…
evening.
A group of people slowly approached Jimo County.
"It doesn't look like there's anything going on. Could it be that the general is paranoid?"
"Who dares to come to our Dongzhou area to cause trouble?"
The leader looked at the brightly lit Jimo County Mansion in the distance.
"Yes, General, I feel the same. After all, we are stationed at the border. Who else can hide from us and enter the interior of Dongzhou?"
"Even if you have the courage, you still have to have the ability."
"Besides, the military camp in Jimo County has more than 10,000 troops. How can we kill all these 10,000 troops?"
A soldier next to him also answered.
"never mind!"
"Everything will be clear when I see you, sir."
"Order everyone to hurry up and camp outside the military camp at night!"
The leading general said slowly.
After a while, he led the team to the outside of Jimo County.
It is already dark now, Jimo County has a curfew system, and the city gate has been closed.
They did not stop at the gate of the county government, but walked towards the state and pastoral government on the side.
"You lead the troops and camp nearby, bury the pots and cook, and I'll go see Mr. Zhou Mu!"
The leading general ordered.
He took a few people and walked towards the Prefecture Mufu.
"General Shi Xu's subordinate, Du Feng, is asking to see Mr. Zhou Mu."
Du Feng came to the door and said to the guards.
Previously, there were not so many soldiers stationed at the gate of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and even the military camp seemed to have a lot more people stationed at the gate.
It seems that something did happen.
"General, I'll go in and report right away!"
A soldier said to Du Feng.
After a while, the butler followed the soldier out.
"General Du, why are you here?"
The current housekeeper asked Du Feng.
"Um?"
"This is Butler Fang. Please come out and give me an order from General Shi Xu. I need to meet Mr. Zhou Mu for important matters."
Du Feng said to the housekeeper.
He had met this steward Fang before, he was the deputy steward in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
After all, the State Shepherd's Mansion is too big for one housekeeper to handle.
As the saying goes, there are seven ranks of officials in front of the prime minister.
Naturally, they did not dare to look down upon the housekeeper of the Zhou Mu family.
"Okay, general, please follow me in."
"But... to be honest, Mr. Zhou Mu has encountered some things recently. He is now seriously injured and is recuperating. These few..."
The housekeeper pointed to the people behind Du Feng.
"Oh, you guys, wait here."
"I'll go in and meet Mr. Zhou Mu."
After Du Feng saw Butler Fang, he relaxed his guard and without thinking too much, he gave instructions to the people behind him and then followed Butler Fang in.
The moment those people saw the door of the mansion closing, they felt vaguely that something was wrong, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only wait quietly outside.
