Guo Zhiyuan shook his head firmly and said: "I originally wanted to stick to the help, but now it is impossible for the imperial court to send reinforcements, and it is not appropriate to stick to the reinforcements, once the news of our recovery of Zhangpu County spreads, the rebels will definitely counterattack, and then they will be more passive, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the rebels does not know the news that Zhangpu County has been recaptured by us for the time being, I pretend to be Zhao Chengcheng's messenger to send a letter to Zhao Bingjian, and take the opportunity to investigate the reality of the main force of the rebels, the risk should not be great......"

Although Huang Yingju admired Guo Zhiyuan's wit and courage, he still felt that Guo Zhiyuan's move was too risky, shook his head and persuaded: "Lord Guo, what the appropriate talent Zhang Huwei said is just hearsay, the lower officials still don't believe that the imperial court will sit back and watch the rebels rage, why don't we take the initiative to contact the imperial court and inform the governor of the news of the recovery of Zhangpu County, please ask the governor to send troops to assist us in defending the city, why should you risk your life yourself?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan knew that a traditional civil official like Huang Yingju had always had illusions about the imperial court, and he would not recognize the reality if he didn't run into the wall in person, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he smiled and said: "Guo just happened to be at the meeting, Huang Dacai is the chief official here, Huang can try to report the situation here to the governor, see if the governor can send reinforcements, the governor can send reinforcements, it is naturally the best, if you can't send reinforcements, we can't sit still, Guo went to find out in advance the reality of the rebels and Huang asked the governor for help……”

Huang Yingju was a little speechless, Zhang Cheng saw that Huang Yingju could not persuade Guo Zhiyuan, and hurriedly said: "If the adults want to investigate the rebels' reality and send the villain forward, why should you risk yourself personally?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan knew that Zhang Cheng was really concerned about his safety, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zhang Cheng, this is a big matter, I can only feel at ease if I personally go to investigate the reality of the rebels, by the way, you must not let Wan'er know about this matter, otherwise she will definitely clamo to go with her, this trip relies on improvisation, and it is easy to do bad things when there are many people, so I am not even prepared to take Fa Zheng ......"

Zhang Cheng saw that Guo Zhiyuan had made up his mind, and knew that he could not be dissuaded, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, please bring the adults and the villains with you, and take care of them on the road......

Guo Zhiyuan didn't refuse again, Zhang Cheng was alert and experienced in the rivers and lakes, so he nodded and said: "You go and invite that Zhao Chengcheng and ask him to write a letter to Zhao Bingjian, just say that everything is fine in Zhangpu County, let my brother not read it, and ask Zhao Chengcheng for a token by the way, so that our identities will not be exposed......"

Guo Zhiyuan did not put Zhao Chengcheng in the county government prison like other rebel leaders, but still let him live in the room in the backyard of the county government, and even the women he looked for before were kept for him, it can be said that Zhao Chengcheng's life is basically not much different from before, so he was very cooperative with Guo Zhiyuan's request, and wrote a letter to Zhao Bingjian happily, and gave him a jade pendant given by Zhao Bingjian to Guo Zhiyuan as a token.

Shuizhai Mountain, also known as Jiuxianding, is located in Dongshan County, Zhangzhou, Fujian, this Shuizhai Mountain faces the sea, one faces the land, the terrain is dangerous, the mountain is full of boulders, the scenery is wonderful, during the Ming Jingtai period, in order to defend against the trouble of the Japanese Invaders, the imperial court set up the Tongshan Shan in Jiuxian Mountain, after several generations of operation, the Shuizhai Mountain has become a military important place along the coast of Fujian, the famous general Qi Jiguang twice led the army into Fujian and stationed here, which shows the important military strategic role of the Shuizhai Mountain, but now it is occupied by the main force of the rebels!

Guo Zhiyuan This is the first time to the Shuizhai Mountain, the field is also secretly frightened, I have to say that the rebels choose this place as the base camp is really quite strategic, the Shuizhai Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, advance and retreat freely, enter the inland, retreat from the Shuizhai from the sea, it can also be seen that the rebels are not all Zhao Chengcheng is such a greedy and afraid of death straw bag, there are still capable people, which makes Guo Zhiyuan more and more worried, the main force of the rebels occupies the Shuizhai Mountain, and it is more difficult to destroy them!

As soon as they arrived near Shuizhai Mountain, Guo Zhiyuan and Zhang Cheng were discovered by the rebel scouts, fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan and they held Zhao Chengcheng's token, and the rebel scouts did not embarrass them, and specially arranged for someone to take Guo Zhiyuan and them to see Zhao Bingjian, all the way up the mountain, Guo Zhiyuan took the opportunity to secretly observe the rebels' defense arrangement, but the more he observed, the more frightened he became, there was no big road up the mountain in Shuizhai, only a bluestone road leading to the top of the mountain, if the mountain was attacked head-on, there were no several times the number of troops could not be taken at all, and there must be heavy casualties.

The rebel guards took Guo Zhiyuan to the Enbo Temple on the top of the mountain, which was also occupied by the rebels and became the temporary headquarters of the rebels, because Guo Zhiyuan was Zhao Chengcheng's messenger, and the rebel guards regarded them as their own people, and they were not suspicious, telling them that Marshal Zhao (Zhao Bingjian launched a rebellion in the name of restoring the Song Dynasty, so he proclaimed himself Marshal Zhao) was discussing important matters and asked them to wait outside the main hall.

At this time, there are four people sitting in the main hall, these four people are the four leaders of the rebels, and sitting at the top is a middle-aged man with a long beard, who looks quite elegant, but wears a general armor of the Song Dynasty, this person is Zhao Bingjian!

Under Zhao Bingjian, there is a widow who looks ruthless, especially a pair of eyes, the fierce light flashes, which makes people shudder, this person is called Tanaka Taro, who has been entrenched in the coastal areas of Fujian for a long time, and has a group of strong martial arts under his hands, which makes the Fujian sailors very headache, but I didn't expect to participate in Zhao Bingjian's rebellion this time.

Opposite Zhao Bingjian sat a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, this person is called Liu Ruosi, who was originally a general of the Fujian Navy Division, but he made ** wealth, secretly colluded with Tanaka Taro and other Japanese robbers to engage in smuggling activities, and was caught by Zhao Bingjian, and wanted to coerce him to launch a rebellion together.

Sitting at the bottom is a bearded man, this person is called Zhang Tianbao, a famous giant in Fujian, wanted by the government and fled to Zhangzhou, gathered thousands of bandits, for the disaster party, this time saw Zhao Bingjian launched a rebellion, felt that there was an opportunity, and also joined.

These four people are the most powerful in the rebels, and naturally became the four leaders of the rebels, on the surface, led by Zhao Bingjian, they really have their own thoughts, each has their own abacus, before the smooth sailing, they each grabbed their own, developed their own forces, but they were all right, but this attack on Zhangzhou City was frustrated, and the contradictions between them were exposed! As for the rebels' next development plan, they have their own opinions and quarrels......
