"County Zun, it's not good, it's not good!" The county lieutenant Han Guang rushed into the backyard of the county government almost continuously, and startled Han Zhike, the county magistrate who was leisurely wandering in the courtyard and refining his body with eight sections of brocade.

"What's the panic, isn't the sky falling?" Han Zhike, who stood up straight, shouted angrily.

Han Guang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a pale face: "County Zun, the sky is really falling." Someone came from Pangjiazhuang to ask for help, saying that the Dongting bandits had come over, and asked the county to send someone to support quickly. ”

Hearing Han Guang's words, Han Zhike only felt unbelievable. Dongting bandits? Pang Wen, the owner of Pangjiazhuang, was the biggest bandit in Dongting, but immediately, he shuddered, and his face changed suddenly.

"Who is the bandit who came to report the news and said that he didn't say it? Under what banner? ”

"It's Zheng Wenchang, who played the Flying Fish Stream." Han Guangdao.

As soon as his legs were weak, Han Zhike almost sat on the ground. Pang Wenquan's division was dispatched to clean up Zheng Wenchang and Pan Shan, why is Zheng Wenchang killing the door now?

"How many bandits have come ashore?" Forced to calm himself, he continued to ask.

"The people who came to ask for help said that there were thousands of them, and they were all in the dark."

His body shook again, and Han Zhike reluctantly stood up straight: "Continue to send someone to investigate." ”

"County Zun, what should we do, do we go to Pangjiazhuang?" Han Guang asked.

"Is your brain watering?" Han Zhike wanted to slap the county lieutenant in front of him, since the defeat of the Hubei soldier Qian Feng and the sweep of Zhu Youzhen's army, the order on the entire place has basically collapsed, and the entire Hanshou County, there are only a few hundred soldiers, what to do to compete with thousands of bandits. "Close the gates of the city, gather all the soldiers, gather all the young and strong, go to the city, and tell them that if the water bandits are killed, everyone will die."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Han Guang ran away in a puff of smoke.

Seeing Han Guang's back go away, Han Zhike couldn't hold it anymore, reluctantly walked to the eaves, and sat on the cold stepping stone with his buttocks, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

It's best that Pang Wen and Zheng Wenchang have gone a fork in the road, if that's the case, Pang Wen got the news and turned around immediately, and Hanshou County was still saved.

If Pang Wen lost to Zheng Wenchang on Dongting Lake?

No, it can't be like this, Pang Wen is the most powerful water bandit in Dongting Lake, how can he lose to Zheng Wenchang!

It must not be like this.

However, the bad news came one after another.

The spies saw that the water bandits with the flying fish flag conquered Pangjiazhuang, slaughtered them all in the Zhuangzi, and then ransacked the entire Zhuangzi, but what frightened Han Zhike the most was the body of Pang Wen hanging high on the mast of the largest boat of the water bandits by the lake.

Then, the spies saw thousands of bandits swarming in the direction of the county seat.

Despair almost crushed Han Zhiko.

Pang Wen actually lost like this? This is the foundation for himself to gain a foothold in front of the third prince of Zhu, without Pang Wen's team, what are you?

If this is not the abyss of despair, then the next news made Han Zhike almost faint. Han Guang ran away, took the only few hundred soldiers in the county, opened the city gate, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

Han Guang's run immediately triggered a group effect, and the people in the county, dragging their families and mouths, all rushed to the outside of the city, Dongting water bandits, who is not afraid?

In the past, Pang Wen was in Hanshou County, so naturally there were no water bandits who came here to disturb him, but now, it was Flying Fish Streamers that came.

After being stunned for a long time, Han Zhike suddenly jumped up and ran to the back house.

If you don't run now, when? Wait until he is caught by Zheng Wenchang and learns that Pang Wen is generally hanging on the boat to show off his might? As for the agreement with His Royal Highness Zhu San, it must also have a life, right?

When Zheng Wenchang arrived in Hanshou County, he was faced with a city that had no resistance at all, and almost all the people who could run ran away. And what surprised him even more was that the grain depot and arsenal in the county town were actually left for him intact.

Zheng Wenchang made a fortune this time, and after laying down Pangjiazhuang, he raised gold and silver worth millions of guan and more than 100,000 stone of grain in Zhuangzi, while in Hanshou County, although there was not so much money, there was more food, and more importantly, he took away the entire arsenal of Hanshou County. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, these things, in such a world, there are not too many.

In less than a month, Zheng Wenchang gathered more than 1,000 bandits from Panshan's headquarters and the temporarily reorganized former Pang Wen, totaling nearly 5,000 people, and swept Anxiang County, Li County, Taoyuan County, Linli County and other areas along the West Dongting Lake, robbing countless money, grain and grass, and hundreds of boats were filled and then returned to his base camp all the way.

When they left, it was full of devastation, and everything that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned, and the fields of excellent crops were all turned into raging fires and billowing smoke after they left.

Zheng Wenchang didn't want to leave the slightest material to the upcoming army of Zhu Youzhen. Instead, he threw the people who had suffered from bandits in several counties to Zhu Youzhen, giving Zhu Youzhen a headache.

As for the current life and death of these people, it is not within Zheng Wenchang's consideration at all.

At this time, Qian Biao, the governor of Yueyang, was gathering all the troops he could gather in Yueyang, recruiting all the young men he could find to form an army. Unlike other local gentry and officials who could surrender and escape, he had nowhere to run. When the lost dog runs there, no one will be welcome, and maybe people will take him to Zhu Youzhen in exchange for peace.

Besides, he and Zhu Youzhen have a hatred of destroying his family and destroying his family, and he is also full of hatred at this time, and how to take revenge fills his whole brain.

All the wealthy gentry around Yueyang were invited into Yueyang City by him, and their families were detained, and their families were trained into the army. At this moment, Qian Biao has completely pulled down his face, either a comrade-in-arms or an enemy, he will never tolerate someone stabbing him in the back at this time, he wants to tie everyone to his chariot, either die together or live together.

In a month's time, Qian Biao actually gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yueyang, although only 3,000 of them were his own men and horses, which were the core that could be relied on, but he did not think of fighting with Zhu Youzhen's troops in the field and defending the city, and 10,000 horses and horses could always be supported under the sufficient supply of grain and grass.

As for whether we can win this war? He didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Even Ezhou City has been broken, what can Yueyang do?

But what can he do? Wash your neck and wait for Zhu Youzhen to cut it?

The dog jumps over the wall when he's in a hurry, and the rabbit bites when he's in a hurry!

Be a monk for a day, hit the clock for a day, live for a day, and do him for a day.

"Father, Mr. Liu is here." The eldest son, Qian Bin, who was dressed in armor, strode in and bowed. Now that the Qian family is full of men, only himself and his eldest son Qian Bin are left.

"Come in, please." Qian Biao said.

In the early days of this catastrophe, when everyone was panicking, it was this Liu Shaoye Liu Boss who found himself, offered himself several strategies, and took out a lot of money to dedicate to himself, so that he had this situation in Yueyang today, if he started a little later, those surrounding gentry and landlords, I was afraid that they would sell themselves, and now these people are trapped in Yueyang City, and their subordinates are reorganized, and their families are controlled by themselves. pinching his nose, he can only go to the dark with himself.

"Mr. Liu, how's it going?" Seeing Liu Shaoye walk in with a happy face, Qian Biao's heart suddenly widened, looking at his face, Liu Shaoye must not have time to run this time.

"Congratulations to Qian Zhizhou! Shaoye lives up to its mission! Liu Shaoye took a deep look: "A certain family has met Zheng Wenchang and has successfully persuaded this person to form an alliance with Qian Zhizhou to fight against the pseudo-Liang." ”

A few days ago, the Dongting water bandits were on fire, and the East Dongting bandit Zheng Wenchang defeated Pang Wen of the West Dongting in Hengling Lake, killed the opponent, and annexed Pang Wen's subordinates. Within a month, Zheng Wenchang swept the surrounding areas of West Dongting and South Dongting, and in addition to becoming famous, he also made a lot of money.

It was Liu Shaoye who automatically invited Sakura to persuade Zheng Wenchang to form an alliance with him.

If Zheng Wenchang can form an alliance with him, it will be great news for the defense of Yueyang. If there is such a sailor, then Zhu Youzhen's army will rest and attack Yueyang without worry, 800 miles of Dongting, waterways extend in all directions, and sailors can go ashore from any place to carry out endless harassment and sneak attacks on the enemy.

To be honest, for Liu Shaoye to go this time, Qian Biao had no hope at all. Because Zhu Youzhen will definitely try his best to win over this Dongting giant, and compared with Zhu Youzhen, his capital is too weak. In fact, when I thought that if Zheng Wenchang agreed to Zhu Youzhen's words, I was afraid that Yueyang would really be finished, and every time I thought of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He agreed, so why did he say yes? What conditions does he want? Qian Biao, who was completely carried away by joy, almost blurted out a rhetorical question: "Mr. Liu, could he be cheating?" ”

"It's a bit complicated here!" Liu Shaoye looked at Qian Biao with a smile and said, "It will take a while to make it clear." But one thing is for sure, Zheng Wenchang will be Qian Zhizhou's hardcore ally from now on. ”

"It's okay, Qian Bin, tell the kitchen, get a few good dishes, I want to accompany Mr. Liu to have a few drinks." Qian Biao turned his head and instructed his son.
