As the battle progressed, the private soldiers of the Wang family and the Sun family had slowly retreated, in the past, they were just flat-headed people, or even ruffians and hooligans, so it was okay for them to fight a good battle or ordinary people, but at this time, they were facing the two main battalions of the unclothed army that had been systematically trained, and they felt their powerlessness. Seeing the tragic death of his brother who usually worked with him in front of him, although these private soldiers were more than twice as many as the other party, they were already on the verge of collapse.

The 1,000 county soldiers under Li Gu's command were not much better, they were the last to meet the Ruishi battalion, and they suffered heavy losses at once, and there were only more than 300 people left at this time.

Cui Yu and the others saw it in their eyes, and they were even more anxious in their hearts. Especially Sun Dian, he is still escorted by Zeng Yu's personal soldiers, and the only hope is that the men and horses led by Li Gu defeat Zeng Yu's soldiers, and then he will have a way to live. Since his family knows his own business, he has served as the chief bookkeeper, his hands and feet have not been clean, not to mention that Zeng Yu has evidence, even if he doesn't, as long as he checks himself, it will definitely be a dead end.

"Li Gu, hurry up, kill them for me." Sun Dian shouted there, this was his only hope.

Cui Yu also heard Sun Dian's shout, he glanced at Li Gu, saw that he didn't dare to go up, and said: "Don't you usually praise yourself for being very powerful, why don't you use them at a critical time, hurry up and take them down for me." We have already torn our faces with Zeng Yu, even if you don't go up, you can't escape death, if you win, Ronghua and Fugui are not ready to be caught. ”

Li Gu gritted his teeth and rushed to the front with a knife, of course, he deliberately avoided Wang Qing, thinking that it would be no problem for me to stay away from you. However, he guarded against Wang Qing, but not against others.

Wu Ming commanded the soldiers of the shooter battalion to shoot in the rear, but he almost didn't miss, and every time someone was hit by an arrow, he himself didn't shoot it himself. When he saw Li Gu coming up again, he knew that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come again.

He raised the iron bow in his hand, wound his arrows, and aimed at Li Gu, who was fighting with the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion. At this time, Li Gu had just unslashed the ring head knife of a soldier of the Rui Shi Battalion, and was about to further slash him, but he had no chance.

Wu Ming grabbed his chest for an unblocked moment, let go of the finger pulling the string, and a pitch-black feather arrow with a whistling sound, like an arrow of death directly hit Li Gu's throat, and the tip of the arrow leaked out from the back of his neck.

The hand holding the knife was weakly released, Li Gu fell to the ground on his back, his eyes were still wide open, maybe the remorse that flashed in his mind had not dissipated, but it was meaningless, and he was not breathing after falling.

Those county soldiers and private soldiers originally expected Li Gu to exert their might and lead them to break through the opponent's needle and thread, but as a result, Li Gu was shot by Wu Ming just after the second time, and his morale completely collapsed at once. I don't know who took the lead, but all the soldiers reflexively began to flee, some fled to the Wang family or the Sun family, but many did flee to other places, such as the city gate.

The soldiers of the Rui Shi battalion took advantage of the situation to pursue until everyone dispersed and it was not conducive to the pursuit, at this time less than 3,000 soldiers and horses on Cui Yu's side fled, and the others were killed on the spot. Seeing that some people had fled to the city gates, Wang Qing sent four teams of 100 people to control the four city gates, and then he led the rest of the men and horses back to the county yamen.

When he came back, he saw Zeng Yu walking in front of Cui Yu, looked at him lightly, and said, "Master Cui, now you know who thinks highly of you." ”

At this time, Cui Yu saw Wang Qing leading the soldiers back, knowing that his general situation was gone, his face was like ashes, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak. He knew that he was completely defeated, and he could no longer compete with Zeng Yu for power and profit, he had lost everything, and his only hope was to be able to survive and return to Qinghe, when he was in the Cui family's territory, he would have the protection of the family, and with many years of financial management, the family would be able to let him enjoy his old age in peace.

Seeing Cui Yu standing there with his head down and speechless, Zeng Yu said: "Cui Yu, if you want to live, I can give you a chance." ”

Cui Yu's eyes lit up suddenly, he suddenly raised his head, and begged Zeng Yu: "What do you want, just say, I can give you all my accumulation in Anping County for so many years, as long as you spare my life." ”

"Your money and food in Anping County must be left behind, I want to ask you about a person, and that is your master-Yin Zhuo."

"Lord Zeng has a grudge against this Yin Zhuo, I have nothing to do with him, he came here a few years ago. When I saw that his suggestion was still useful, I kept him, and when he helped us earn money, I gave him a house, not far from the county office, and I could lead the way to arrest him if the adults needed it. Cui Yu sold Yin Zhuo immediately in order to survive at this time, and at this time, nothing is more important to him than his own life.

"Is he still in the county at this time?" Zeng Yu didn't explain, but just confirmed with Cui Yu whether Yin Zhuo was still there.

"It should still be there, he came to the county office yesterday, but I don't know why he didn't come over today." Cui Yu hurriedly replied.

"Do any of you know where Mr. Yin Zhuo lives?" Zeng Yu asked the few county officials who didn't pretend to be injured just now.

Several county officials looked at each other, not knowing Zeng Yu's plans, and they didn't say anything at first. Suddenly, one of the small county officials stood up and said, "Lord Qiyu, the little one knows where Mr. Yin Zhuo lives. ”

Zeng Yu looked at him carefully, and saw that he had a clever eye, he should be a clever person, and he dared to stand up and answer his words at this time, which showed that he was not small, and said, "What's your name." ”

"The little one's name is He Tian." The clerk replied.

"You're good, I remember you. Chengyong, you and He Tian go with you to Mr. Yin Zhuo's house on my behalf, and tell him that I will visit him tomorrow morning. Zeng Yu turned his head to Zhu Wen and commanded.

Zhu Wen received the order and asked He Tiantou to lead the way and go to Yin Zhuo's mansion. He knew Zeng Yu's purpose for letting him visit Yin Zhuo, and Liu Neng and others had tried to win over Yin Zhuo before, but Zeng Yu was only the owner of a small manor in Anping County at that time, and Yin Zhuo did not directly agree to their lobbying. At this time, through the battle just now, they have already laid the foundation for mastering Anping County, and naturally they need to subdue him as soon as possible to add a great talent to Zeng Yu's subordinates.

Wang Qing asked the soldiers of the Ruishi battalion to repair and take care of the wounded soldiers, he walked up to Zeng Yu by himself, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Big brother, the enemy soldiers have been defeated, and about 3,000 people have fled in all directions. ”

"Very good, Ziwu has worked hard. You asked the brothers to stay and clean up the battlefield except for treating the wounded soldiers and sending them back to Lingyunzhuang to recuperate. ”

In this battle, the two battalions of the unclothed army attacked more with fewer blows, and the damage was not great, but the private soldiers of the Sun and Wang families suffered heavy losses, and more than 3,000 people were killed. The fighting took place in the county, and if so many corpses were not disposed of in time, it was easy for the plague to occur. Therefore, Zeng Yu asked the soldiers of the Ruishi battalion to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, as for those corpses, he knew that Wang Qing would deal with them well and would not leave hidden dangers to the safety of the county.

Zeng Yu then entered the county government of Anping County for the first time under the escort of his own soldiers, which will be the main place where he lives and works next.

Other officials in the county followed Zeng Yu into the county government under the watchful eye of Zeng Yu's personal soldiers. As for those who were named and escorted by Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu asked his soldiers to take them to the prison cells of the county government first, and guard them strictly, and then interrogate them when he arranged the people of the county government. Cui Yu was also under the guard of two personal soldiers at this time, and was placed in a house by Zeng Yu in the county government, although Zeng Yu promised to spare his life, but he did not say that he would let him go now, at least until he completely mastered the county seat of Anping.

Zeng Yu entered the county government and walked to the lobby, he first looked at the official seal, etc., and then asked people to take the household registration register of the county seat, as well as various account books, he has no time to read now, but these basic things, he needs to master them as soon as possible, so as to better understand the county office. The wounded soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion were already on the way to Lingyunzhuang, presumably Liu Neng and the others would know that they had taken control of Anping County when they saw them, and when they came, they would just leave these things to them to deal with.

The people who were outside the county office just now did not pretend to be injured, they were looking at Zeng Yu who was sitting in the main seat of the hall with apprehension below, they didn't know what their fate would be next. As for those who said that they were injured by the soldiers, but were not named and taken down by Zeng Yu, they were even more worried, they had already labeled themselves as Cui Yu's comrades, and they were very afraid that Zeng Yu would settle accounts after the autumn and detain them like Sun Dian.

Zeng Yu sat there, looked at the more than thirty people standing below, and said, "You were originally in that class, and you are still in your original position. I can not blame you for some of the things you have done before, but from now on, I remember the surname of Anping County. As long as you do your best, not only will I not blame you, but I will reward you for what you have done. ”

When the people below heard Zeng Yu's words, they suddenly became excited. They didn't expect that this county order, which they thought was a fierce god, not only spared them, but also let them continue to serve in the county government, everyone knelt down and said gratefully: "Lord Xie, the lower officials must be loyal to their duties and serve the adults." ”

"Well, you guys get up first, and go back to your respective rooms."

The reason why Zeng Yu let them go back was also because he knew that there were no children of the Wang family and the Sun family, at most they were some small family disciples who were attached to their family, and he didn't want to catch them all, and now these people must not dare to resist themselves in terms of policy.

After they left, Zeng Yu knew that some people should have known the news from the county office, and now they had almost arrived at the county office.
