The assembly of the imperial army suddenly made the Chaozhou border chaotic, and the robbery and ** of the official army emerged in endlessly. As a result, many people hid in the mountains, and many young and middle-aged people who had already lost their families had pulled up a vote to occupy the mountains as kings and fight guerrilla warfare with the court officials and soldiers.

Li Zhixiao, Generalissimo Li is also a headache now, the regular Imperial Forest Army is confronting the battlefield of the Northern Yuan, and now his subordinates seem to know that it is a group of rabble. However, the information I got was that Chaozhou Hou only had more than 60,000 troops under his command, and he was a flock of sheep under his command, and using the corpses of soldiers should be able to pull out the thorn in the heart that had caused Shi Xiang a headache for a long time. Thinking that Generalissimo Li, who couldn't stop the soldiers from looting at all, turned a blind eye, and only patiently taught the generals from time to time, asking them to discipline and discipline his subordinates. But these generals were respectful in front of him, but when they turned around, they mingled with their own men.

After half a month of preparation, all the troops who had received the order were finally concentrated, and Generalissimo Li immediately announced that he would march to the center of Chaozhou. But the honest march of these soldiers suddenly became a big problem for Generalissimo Li, and when he took out Shang Fang's sword, these officers could be more or less honest, but the soldiers below began to procrastinate. wanted to use his rights to pull out a few to sacrifice the flag, and for a long time all the generals played the poor and played the poor, and they were ruthless. In the end, Generalissimo Li could not only compromise with these generals: "As long as it is the direction of your attack, whatever you get will be yours." As long as the task is completed, when you return to the court, there will be Shi Xiangye to invite you for merit and reward. ”

After receiving the promise of benefits, the generals immediately smiled, and returned to the army to find a few unlucky people to cut down the sacrificial flag, and this time the officers and soldiers could quickly condense from a plate of loose sand into a fist. Generalissimo Li smiled on his face, and the generals also smiled, and it only took more than ten days to feel Chaozhou City.

The prefect of Chaozhou had already received a secret letter from Liren, asking him to distribute all the grain to the people, and then wait for the official army to come, and immediately surrender the city, trying not to let the city lose a little.

The prefect of Chaozhou has been fighting for the mind of the Xiong prefect all night since the day he received Liren's secret letter, but he has more or less known that there are more than 60,000 troops in Liren's hands in the past few years, and the specific number is not known by a peripheral person at all. But now he also knows the number of officers and soldiers, and suddenly this prefect who usually doesn't use his brains to hold the lamp for the rest of the night.

In the second half of the night, Xiong Zhizhou was about to doze off when he thought about it, and a voice suddenly woke him up: "Hehe~!" Unexpectedly, Lord Zhizhou hasn't slept now, and fortunately, my old drunkard is now short of someone who can drink with me. Lord Zhizhou, do you appreciate your face? ”

"Who~~! Who called me??? Xiong Zhizhou opened his eyes in a daze and looked around. But I looked left and right, but I didn't see a single figure.

"Hey~! Lord Zhizhou, where are you looking, I'm at your desk~! The voice came out from the front of the case, Xiong Zhizhou got up and looked over, only to see a sloppy and strange old man lying on the ground in front of the case, drinking the contents of the pot by himself.

"Someone~! There are assassins~~! Xiong Zhizhou really didn't expect that someone would come to his feet unknowingly, and he was suddenly frightened and incoherent.

"Hehe~! Lord Zhizhou, you call it, no one will hear you even if you scream through your throat. Well~! Wine. The strange sloppy old man took another sip of the contents of the pot, and whispered.

Xiong Zhizhou shouted for a long time and no one came, and suddenly a cold sweat came out of his back, and he hid under the desk and asked the strange old man: "In the dead of night, I don't know what ~~ the old hero is coming?" Can you tell us a little bit? ”

"Hmmm! Things~~~, but there's nothing wrong. It's just that Master Hou asked me to come and urge the prefect to do things according to the rules. The strange old man stopped talking nonsense and turned over and sat down on the chair next to him.

Xiong Zhizhou suddenly remembered why he had to think about it so late today, and immediately got out from under the desk and said to the strange old man with a smile: "Oh! It turns out that the old hero is Hou Ye's person, hehe~, I thought it was an assassin. Please forgive the old hero. ”

"Hmmm! Do you have any good wine? The strange old man didn't look at him at all, but just drank the wine in the jug and asked.

Xiong Zhizhou immediately smiled, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that the old hero is going to drink, there is ~!" Yes~! There is good wine in my house, as long as the old hero likes it. Suddenly he remembered how none of all the servants had come out when he had been screaming. He had no choice but to look at the strange old man: "But! But~~"

"Oh! Do you say you're one of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals? I'm going to wake them up, but it's good wine~? The strange old man didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Thank you old hero, thank you old hero~!" Xiong Zhizhou thanked the strange old man in front of him.

At this time, I heard the strange old man say out of thin air: "Okay, you can wake up those useless things, so that they can bring wine to grandpa." ”

"No~!" I don't know who in the hospital answered.

Xiong Zhizhou looked at the strange old man in surprise and asked, "May I ask how many people the old hero Hou Ye sent this time?" Do you want to invite everyone to sit in the house, so that Xiong can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

The strange old man suddenly shook his hand unappreciatively and said, "No need, those little rabbits are used to staying outside, and they won't get used to it if they go into the house." This time, Master Hou asked us to come here to protect the safety of Lord Zhizhou's family, by the way~! Speaking of this, the strange old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiong Zhizhou with a smile.

Xiong Zhizhou felt that the old man in front of him had bad intentions, but he knew that he didn't dare to disobey. He immediately nodded and replied: "The lower officials must act in accordance with the instructions of the Hou Ye, and handle it immediately in the morning." ”

"Hmmm! Good~! When the strange old man heard this, he immediately got up and was about to go out, Xiong Zhizhou hurriedly kept the old man and said: "The old hero walks slowly." ”

"Are you okay?" The strange old man didn't turn around and asked directly.

Xiong Zhizhou hurriedly said: "The old hero hasn't come up for a long time, so it's not too late to invite the old hero to drink before leaving." ”

"Oh! I know, but my old drunkard only likes to drink it himself, and now that the matter is over, the old drunkard should also go out to drink, if you have something, sweat three times every night in the courtyard old drunkard, I will appear. After the old drunkard finished speaking, Xiong Zhizhou only saw the door shake, and there was no trace of the old drunkard.

"Shocked, it seems that the Hou Ye came to warn me today. It's better to save my life first, and the rest will be talked about later. Ay! I can only ask the Bodhisattva to bless the Hou Ye with all the best. After the old drunkard left, Xiong Zhizhou only felt that his body collapsed for a while, and he didn't want to get up on the ground anymore.

Early the next morning, the prefect of Chaozhou issued a list saying that every household could go to the prefect to receive a number of relief food, and suddenly the entire people of Chaozhou were boiling, and they quickly gathered outside the gate of the prefect with frames, baskets, cloth pockets and other things, and Xiong Zhizhou opened the official warehouse with worry. Within three days, all the grain in the official warehouse in Chaozhou was distributed, and every grain went to the hands of the people.

After Liren of the City of Hope learned of this news, he immediately ordered Zhang Lei to take 5,000 men and horses to disperse to the people's homes around Chaozhou. Chen Lin and Fang Ning were very strange, the purpose of going to Liren, Liren smiled slightly and said: "You will know in the future, you can't say it now, if you say it, it won't work." ”

Escorted by Liren, he was angrily curling his white beard and vowed: "When I return to the capital, I will definitely make a copy of these people who have forged the holy decree and violated the holy will." ”

Li Ren didn't have much hope for this Qin Cha at all, but just smiled slightly: "Lord Qin Cha is easy to go, as long as you can return to the capital safely and explain our grievances." ”

Originally, Wei Liaowen saw that Liren was not very safe here, and wanted to take the county lord and the little prince away, but Liren suddenly dropped his face and refused. And the little prince and Juju were not willing to go with this loyal minister at all, so they had no choice but to let Liren protect as much as possible, and finally shook his head and boarded a Great Song official ship that was about to set sail.

The people around Chaozhou helped the people push the people into the mountains together with the soldiers led by Zhang Lei and the priests of the Bright Holy Sect who had been lurking. After the priests persuaded the people to pass through the places where the officials and soldiers were about to pass, the people did not hesitate to burn the surplus grain that could not be taken away and destroyed the houses where they had lived. Then every well was blocked with large stones, and the carcasses of dead chickens and rats were thrown into it.

The officers and soldiers finally arrived in Meizhou and prepared to go down the waterway, and it was at this time that Generalissimo Li realized that there were not enough ships. It immediately caused a dispute among many generals below, and they fought for a while because of this matter. Generalissimo Li immediately shouted ridiculousness, and immediately stopped them, and let their soldiers collect merchant ships around to transport troops.

Suddenly, the shippers all over the country also hated them, and they didn't let themselves wait until Chaozhou to do business, and now they have to use their own ships as troop transporters, these shipbuilders often go to Chaozhou to do business, who doesn't know that there are unknown water warships in Chaozhou, and their hearts are in the hands of the officials and soldiers, so they don't know that they sank to the bottom of the water that day, but they are soldiers or soldiers of the imperial court, there is no place to say it, only to shake their heads and sigh that they are unlucky.

The officers and soldiers traveled for less than three days, and when they rested at night, more than a dozen boats were burned by the night walkers. Generalissimo Li looked at the ship in front of him that emitted a strong fire, and suddenly became angry, this fire could not be extinguished with water, and the fire was even bigger when the water was poured, and it had already ignited many ships next to him.

By the fifth day of the march, half of the ships had been lost, and Generalissimo Lee, in order not to be broken by the enemy, had to order the start of the land march.
