In a dilapidated small county town, several soldiers wearing mandarin duck robes sneaked into the county seat.

All they saw was the ruins and corpses scattered all over the ground, and a few wild dogs were gnawing on the charred corpses. From time to time, there were a few roars, and judging from the size and outline of the figure, it was obviously a female corpse. Several soldiers couldn't help but retch a few times when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Bear with me, whoever is making such a voice with me, Lao Tzu will definitely not spare him."

The officer and soldier who took the lead looked at the few people behind him with a vicious expression, perhaps frightened by the leader's expression, and several people actually stopped the vomiting in their hearts.

"Cao Wen, Li Qing, you two go to Dongcheng to search, Zhao Yang and Bao Ao go to Xicheng, and you two go to Nancheng.

Be careful and see if there are any bandits in the city."

The leading officers and soldiers instructed a few people behind them, and after seeing that they all left. The leading officer and soldier actually spit out a mouthful of sour water directly from his mouth, and he retched there, completely without the calm look he had before.

After finding a clean place, the leading officers and soldiers lay down directly there. Holding his hands together, he wanted to warm his cold hands with hot air on his mouth.

This is the county seat of Linyang two days after Gao Yingxiang led the displaced people to leave, and the officers and soldiers before him were Zhang Danian's people from Linyang Qianhu.

It's just that when they just touched the county seat, a pair of eyes were staring at them deadly, with a look of joy in their eyes.

After about a stick of incense, the officers and soldiers who had gone out to investigate all returned to the front of the leading officers and soldiers one by one.

"The Lord of the Hundred Households has already checked, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the county town have not been found, and according to our inquiry, the group of bandits has left two days ago."

Several others nodded their heads, indicating that they had found the same information.

After hearing the words of several people, the leading officers and soldiers exhaled deeply.

"Damn, this group of bandits is finally gone, which made Lao Tzu worry for two whole days, telling the brothers to prepare to go back."

Before they came, they were empty-handed, carrying only one weapon on their bodies, but when they returned, each of them carried a few things that could still be seen.

It can really be said that the bandits are like combing the soldiers, and there are a few low cries in the county town of Linyang County behind them.

"Li Guo, you go back and tell Li Dutong and Gao Dutong about the current matter, and Zhao Lei and I will follow this group of officers and soldiers first."

"Okay, vice-capital".

The middle-aged man who spoke was Sun Yihu, and the person he commanded was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. After Gao Yingxiang annexed Xu Liang's men, some people were added from some young and middle-aged people in Linyang County and local ruffians and hooligans. In order to facilitate management, Gao Yingxiang recognized the general Zhao Deliang as his military advisor, and his subordinates Gao Meng, Li Hu, Li Zicheng and others were all in charge of one side. And Sun Yihu took the lead in taking refuge in Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang in order to let the rest of the people be able to take refuge in himself with peace of mind, specially named Sun Yihu as the deputy capital, and the main governor is Li Zicheng.

After seeing Li Guo leave, Sun Yihu shook his head and motioned for Zhao Lei, who was following him, to follow.

And in a mountain depression 20 miles outside Linyang County, densely packed with people, there were five or six hundred people at a cursory glance. Three or five, seven or eight of them, stood by the fire in a pile. And in an open field thirty or forty meters away from this group of people, a dozen people who were obviously young and strong gathered together.

"Brother Li, we have been waiting here for two days, and that group of dog officers and soldiers are still so heavily guarded, you must know that the big boss has only given us three days, if we can't break through the thousand households in Linyang County tomorrow, we can only retreat first."

Gao Meng threw a piece of dry wood into the fire with an angry face, and several sparks burst out of the fire.

"Brother Gao, if you want the military advisor to know what you said, maybe I will punish you again. Now that we are all unified, we should be commensurate with the superintendent."

Li Zicheng did not answer Gao Meng's question, but ridiculed Gao Meng a little.

"Hey, he's a who knows how to read a fart. Isn't there such a saying? What is it called, reading and man-made rebellion for 10 years. Cool Record Literature

If we hadn't hung our heads on the waistbands of our trousers and played with the dog officers and soldiers, he wouldn't know how much grass had grown on his grave."

Gao Meng was very dissatisfied with everyone calling each other Dutong, and felt that it was easy to distract everyone's feelings, but he was a little rusty. Therefore, he has also opposed it many times, but Gao Yingxiang thinks that this method is conducive to the management of the troops, and talks to Gao Meng many times, hoping that Gao Meng will not have other objections.

Of course, Gao Yingxiang also knows that this kind of thing is easy to affect the relationship between brothers, especially now when the big thing has not been completed. But Gao Yingxiang is also a superior, for a superior, if the people under his command are really united, it will be detrimental to themselves.

Li Zicheng shook his head at Gao Meng's words and did not say anything about it. Instead, he sighed softly and looked at the dense crowd gathered below.

"In any case, the people of the Thousand Households must be killed, firstly, to increase our weapons and equipment, and secondly, to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent them from biting us from the back.

But looking at the current situation, let's not beat him, they are all burning high incense."

Gao Meng was a little decadent, "Okay, just wait another day, if it really doesn't work, let's withdraw."

"Gao Dutong, Li Dutong Li Guo is back."

A little minion ran quickly in front of Gao Meng and Li Zicheng, and shouted excitedly.

Gao Meng had a smile on his face, "Oh."

"I'm back, bring him over to see me."

Li Zicheng's face also showed a smile, Li Zicheng and Gao Meng had been waiting for Sun Yihu to send the news for two days, and if they waited for another day, they would simply become Wangfu stones.

"Gao Dutong, uncle".

Li Guo panted and ran to Gao Meng and Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng saw his nephew so embarrassed, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates on the side to pour a bowl of warm water for Li Guo.

Li Guo didn't say a word, picked up the cup of warm water, and drank it with a grunt. After three or two sips, you wipe my mouth and hand the bowl in your hand to the guard beside you.

"As Gao Dutong and his uncle expected, that group of dog officers and soldiers really came to Linyang County to investigate. Oh, by the way, they grabbed some things when they left, and it looks like we missed them."

Li Guo was only eleven or twelve years old, and at this time he didn't know what was important and what was light, so he told everything he saw.

Gao Meng and Li Zicheng listened to Li Guo's narration, their eyes gradually lit up, and finally laughed, and ordered their subordinates to gather immediately and set off towards Qianhu.

In one of the largest residences in the Thousand Households, Zhang Dalian was walking back and forth in the mansion with his hands behind his back, with an eager look on his face. And some of the employees under the house also lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, even if they walked, they left quietly and quickly.

Since he heard that Linyang County was attacked by Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Danian immediately gathered all the young and middle-aged people in the entire Qianhu Institute, and worked hard one by one to prevent Gao Yingxiang from secretly attacking.

In order to guard against Gao Yingxiang this time, Zhang Danian really worked hard and took out all the armaments he had secretly embezzled over the years. Looking at the four or five hundred people under his hands, Zhang Danian also had confidence in this precautionary task.

Although it was already known that Gao Yingxiang had five or six thousand people, in Zhang Danian's opinion, they were just a group of peasants who had just put down their hoes, and if they really wanted to fight, the No. 500 people in their hands could directly kill them.

And Gao Yingxiang also knew what kind of situation the people under him were, so he also wanted to take advantage of Zhang Danian's negligence to prevent a surprise attack. So he secretly ordered Gao Meng and Li Zicheng to leave 800 people, and he led the team to leave first, releasing the smoke.

In fact, after Zhang Danian had just gathered his subordinates, he also thought about whether to reinforce Linyang County. It's just that maybe it's because of the long-term comfort, which has caused a rich life to corrode Zhang Danian, Zhang Danian at this time only thinks about self-preservation, as long as Gao Yingxiang doesn't come to attack him, everything will be fine, as for the rest in the future.

However, Zhang Danian's sense of crisis is still there, and he still doesn't believe it when he hears that Gao Yan has left Zhang Dalian, so he specially sent his subordinate Xiang Baihu to take some people to the county to check on it to see if Gao Yingxiang really left.

"Lord Qiyu, Xiang Baihu and they are back."
