Ming Shijie and Guo Fengrong were overjoyed, and finally made a secret visit and learned that there were at least 100 people hidden in the house. By the time Yu Zhilong was about to go south, it was estimated that there were at least 200 people in the mansion.

Based on this, Yu Zhilong and others judged that in addition to taking the city gate, it is very likely that these internal targets would also take the opportunity to raid Liu Zhengfeng's mansion. As for whether the target of the Yuan army really has Liu Zhai, it is not too important in Zhao Shi's eyes, as long as the Yuan army enters the city, it can be used in its name.

This matter is too secretive, the old people of the original scout team are not easy to use, Yu Zhilong finally handed it over to Ming Shijie and Guo Fengrong, and Ji Xiancheng naturally knew the details because he was the main general who stayed behind. There are some people secretly left in the city, not only to always pay attention to the internal movements of the Yuan army, but also to pay attention to blocking the city gate in time and cutting off the enemy's road, otherwise it will be self-defeating and will harm the plan. If the city is lost, Yu Zhilong will no longer be able to take the Yuan army camp in the south, and this month's painstaking management will definitely be in vain!

Ji Xiancheng was steady and resolute, and before leaving, Yu Zhilong gave him a face-to-face opportunity, so that Ming Shijie and Guo Fengrong secretly hid hundreds of elite soldiers in the city, and even the wounded soldiers in the Jing'an army who were about to recover from their injuries finally made a lot of arrangements, so they were somewhat sure.

But it turned out to be very risky, and the city was almost lost. Yu Zhilong thought about it again and again, and finally sighed: "Risking at the right time, there is the intention of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, but there is little careful planning, this kind of thing should be done less in the future!" ”

A lot of things have been done, but don't say anything to outsiders, Ji Xiancheng's performance before and after is really good, Yu Zhilong rewarded You Jia, and in the end, although he got the fruit of expectation, but he even killed the Xin family, I am afraid that Yu Lan will not like it when he knows the truth in the future.

Yu Zhilong thought about it for a while, Liu Sheng's words seemed to be unconscious, and Bai Qiu and Liu Sheng saw that his face was gloomy, and they were even more frightened.

Yu Shichang was impatient for a long time, so he went up and gave each person a kick, kicked it over, and said angrily: "Talking nonsense, do you think that I don't know that there is a pickled goods surnamed Wei to make tartars!" Lao Tzu had already cut dozens of mouths up and down the Wei family, and sulked first! ”

Yu Shichang asked Ji Xiancheng and Ming Shijie and other people who were guarding the city, and learned that there was a Wei family head Yin Yidu, who secretly killed a large number of people in the mansion and plotted against him.

Now seeing that Yu Shichang was full of anger, Yu Zhilong ordered the two to be taken down, left to Yu Shichang's disposal, and announced the guilt of the two to the outside world.

"First punish the second night, and then capture Liu Qi's thief, and avenge Liu Tianwang and other victims!" Yu Zhilong couldn't get any valuable confessions from these two people, so he simply gave Yu Shichang an explanation first.

Ji Xiancheng hesitated for a moment, and asked: "These two people are just chickens and dogs, and killing them is also staining their own hands, but they know Liu Qi's details and temperament best, so they might as well leave their dog's life temporarily, maybe there will be something in the future?" ”

Yu Zhilong pondered for a while, and persuaded Shichang: "What General Ji said is very true, if you kill them here, it is really too easy to punish these two, Brother Shichang, can you leave their lives and kill Liu Qi's family?" ”

Yu Shichang's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Liu Qi is just a turtle with a shrunken head, why is it difficult to catch it?" He also thought about it, and knew that what Ji Xiancheng said had some truth, and Yu Zhilong also meant well, but his face couldn't be pulled down for a while, and after a little muttering, he said: "In this case, why do you need to stay?" One person is enough! ”

Turning his head and glaring at the two, he reprimanded: "You two are usually shoulder to shoulder, like brothers, only one person can live today, who wants to die?" ”

Before the words fell, Liu Sheng and Bai Qiu immediately raised their heads and pointed at each other, "A certain mistaken brother, a mistake in his own body, he deserves to die here!" ”

Yu Shichang, Ji Xiancheng, and Yu Zhilong laughed strangely, shook their heads, and pointed at Bai Qiu casually, and ordered the guards to drag him down and put him on death row. Liu Sheng was overjoyed, kowtowed, and said continuously: "Thank you generals for your kindness, the little one wishes to be a cow and a horse in this life, just to thank you for the virtue of life!" ”

Yu Zhilong and the others were annoyed that he had no righteousness, and waved his hand to take him down and detain him.

Bai Qiu was so thin, mainly because he robbed the daughter of the Tian family at Tian Lie's house that day and collided with Yu Zhilong, although Yu Zhilong was not a person with a small belly, but he didn't like it even more.

In the next two days, the Yidu Yuan army could not retreat, Yu Zhilong ordered Gou Fugui and other cavalry troops to harass and lure outside the city of Yidu, but to no avail, but the Yuan cavalry fought several times, and the two sides had casualties on each other, but neither of them had the heart of a decisive battle, so they separated after a short contact, monitored each other, and no one could find a favorable opportunity.

During this period, the infantry armies of both sides recuperated, although the losses of the Shuntian army were large, the Yuan army was also not small, and no one was able to fight on a large scale for a while.

In the vast area between Linqu and Yidu, from time to time there are scouts on both sides to hunt each other, and return to the state before the month again, but at this time the Yuan army is mostly on the defensive, and the Yuan army is far away from the south of Yidu City for more than ten miles, in danger, or at the thoroughfare, six or seven camps of different sizes are separated, making it difficult for the Jing'an army scouts to easily sneak into Yidu City.

Yu Zhilong just took advantage of this to reorganize his subordinates, repair the city wall, bury the dead, and add thousands of new graves outside Linqu City one night, and almost half of the city had crying.

Wu Sheng saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he resigned. Yu Zhilong thanked him repeatedly, and ordered Fang Xue to prepare more than a dozen cars of captured weapons, flag tents, gongs and drums, armor, etc.

Seeing that Yu Zhilong and the others saw off behind him, Pang Biao and Wu Sheng turned around and walked back on their horses.

"Strategist, this time we went down the mountain, we had a big tooth sacrifice! The grain and the first account are like mountains, and the name of Qingfeng Village must be resounding all over Yizhou! Pang Biao shouted excitedly. The other small leaders beside him were also proud, this time if they didn't go down the mountain, the next time the mountain could be eaten for three years.

Wu Sheng glanced at everyone, and said unashamedly: "That's a stone with a sharp eye, and the big guy is willing to work hard." ”

Pang Biao didn't realize it, and looked at the full lane: "This Jing'an army is really amazing, the city is damaged like that, and it can still be defended!" In the past, I underestimated General Na Fei, but this time I found that General Na Ji is also a great character, and the Jing'an army is hiding dragons and crouching tigers, but it is prosperous! ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel envious, and others felt the same way. The same is Kou, see that people are clearly set up the banner and the formation and the Yuan Court Ming knife and gun, can't help but repeatedly defeat the strong enemy and occupy the city, although it is a small county, but after all, it is a serious county, what is more rare is that it is far away from the Yidu Road Governance, that is, Yidu City, less than 100 miles, can be described as the side of the tiger couch, very dangerous.

On the other hand, although there are many people in the village now, thanks to the fact that most of the officers and soldiers of Yizhou have been transferred to Jianghuai to fight Zhang Shicheng, otherwise how can there be the current scene. Although the leaders went down the mountain several times to collect grain, the officers and troops were so powerful that they did not dare to rob the official grain depot, so they did not plunder much, but the brothers lost a lot, and as for the plundering of the local people, not only did they gain, but it was very easy to provoke the anger of the people, so the morale was not high.

Wu Sheng encouraged everyone: "This time I went down the mountain, I Qingfeng Village showed my skills, there is no opponent in this radius of 100 miles, and now the officers and troops in the nearby county have suffered heavy losses, it is the time for us to show our ambitions!" What the Jing'an Army can do, can't we? ”

Pang Biao and the others couldn't help but be eager to try, it is good to occupy the mountain as the king, but when it comes to speaking, this momentum is inevitably a head shorter, if you can also get a city, there will be no momentum of the Jing'an army.

The more they thought about it, the happier they became, and more than a dozen people loudly talked about the future prospects of the cottage, and hitting the county seat became their most urgent goal.

Although Wu Sheng did not join the discussion, he knew it in his heart, not to mention fighting Yishui and Juxian, that is, he was fighting against the officials and soldiers in the wild, and Qingfeng Village did not have this strength at all now.

This time, he came out and witnessed with his own eyes how the Jing'an army attacked the Yuan army's camp at night and how it set up a position against the Yuan army. The extent of the damage to the Linqu city and the casualties of the enemy and the enemy deeply surprised Wu Sheng.

At the beginning, in the face of Yishui, Juxian and other Han armies and gentry rebels, Qingfeng Village fought extremely hard, it can be said that there are fewer victories and more defeats. However, the Jing'an army was able to defeat Yidu, and the official army had to retreat north in a hurry at night, and did not dare to fight easily.

And in the previous war, Tang Wuwei was also annihilated by the Shuntian army!

Although Liu Zhengfeng is gone, the bones of the Shuntian Army still exist, especially the roots of the original Jing'an Army are still there, and the strength of the various departments has not been reduced after integrating and repairing them. This courage and strength are not comparable to Qingfeng Village.

Thinking of Liu Zhengfeng, although Wu Sheng didn't know him, when chatting with Jing'an Jun and other big leaders, he felt that they were a little slurred, and their words flickered.

The leaders often look at each other for rank, Wu Sheng and others have seen a lot, with intuition, he judged that there must be a hidden relationship between Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong.

Qingfeng Zhai cooperated with the Jing'an Army for several days, and the results were abundant, and the original plan of Wu Sheng and Shi Zebo to eat black is now how ridiculous it seems!

Wu Sheng suddenly thought that Shi Zebo led the troops to fight Yishui with Zhao Shi, and before leaving, Shi Zebo had already taken the opportunity to make a big profit, if there was a dispute with the other party——, Wu Sheng suddenly had a bad premonition.

Although Shi Zebo has been a bandit for many years, his vision is longer than that of ordinary people, but his mind and measurement are limited, especially this time Wu Sheng and him are one north and one south, Shi Zebo has no counselor around him, Yishui City is rich, I am really afraid that someone will be dazzled and do something difficult to finish.

Wu Sheng became apprehensive in his heart, and suddenly ordered all teams to speed up their pace and rush back to the cottage as soon as possible.

He thought about it again, he went to the mountains for nearly a hundred miles, and if he turned to Yishui again and didn't know when, it was better to take a ride along the way, and then rush to Yishui after arriving at the three forks. When his subordinates saw that he was anxious, they thought that he was like an arrow, and ran to the teams to urge.

On this day, Yu Zhilong was checking the barracks in various places outside the city, inspecting the drills after the reorganization of the departments, and suddenly a horse galloped to the front, and the immediate pro-guard newspaper: Zhao Shi, the deputy general in the south, finally had a book, only saying that it was good news, the messenger was still in the county office, because the people and horses were extremely tired, so the guards left him to rest in the county, and several guards rode out to find Yu Zhilong.

Yu Zhilong was overjoyed, ended the inspection, and then got on the horse and galloped back to the city. Wan Jinhai, Qu Bo, Qian Zheng and others have been accompanying them, and they are also happy to hear the news, and they have followed behind with horses.

A group of people quickly whipped up, the horses rose up a stream of flying dust, after entering the city gate only slowed down slightly, the people on the side of the street saw General Fei and his party in a hurry, galloping in, I don't know what, except for the quick avoidance on both sides, all turned heads and ears, talking about whether the Tartars are coming again.

Drove all the way into the county office, and there were already relatives who had been waiting outside the door to lead the way. When he arrived in the backyard of the county government, Yu Zhilong saw this messenger.

The messenger is a general banner in the Jing'an Army, and he is a veteran of the Jing'an Army. He rode for two days and nights, and in order to prevent himself from falling off his horse, he simply tied his legs tightly to the horse with ropes. When they arrived in Linqu, they were already out of strength, and they almost fainted after barely confessing a few words.

Now that he drank some water, ate some meatloaf to satisfy his hunger, and his spirit recovered a little, when he saw Yu Zhilong, he trembled and was about to stand up and bow down.

Yu Zhilong strode over, supported him, and asked him to sit down without military salute.

"My lord, this is a letter from General Zhao!" One of the messenger's guards took a sealed letter from the messenger's hand.

When Zhao Shi sent the letter, he asked that he must personally hand it over to Yu Zhilong, so the messenger kept it in his arms, and only took it out when he saw Yu Zhilong.

Yu Zhilong first silently checked the fire paint imprints, all of which were intact, and then impatiently opened them. After reading it in a moment, Yu Zhilong was overjoyed.

The Chinese content of the letter was not long, and Zhao Shi briefly introduced the process and results of his southward journey, saying that because the officials and troops of Yishui City were unprepared, and the main army was either transferred to Juxian County to join the Yuan army of Gaoyou in the southern expedition, or transferred to the Yuan army camp at Sanchakou, there were less than 500 yuan troops in the city. Zhao Shi and others rode horses all the way, accompanied by board carts carrying foot soldiers, traveled for nearly two days, and after waiting for the city to open in the early morning, the vanguard cavalry pretended to be Yuan cavalry, raided out, and won Yishui City.

The Yuan army in the city was terrified, and almost surrendered without blood.

The battle situation was a big surprise to Zhao Shi, and he thought that there would be some fighting, but the resistance in the city was so weak. What made Zhao Shi hurt was how to deal with the local gentry and surrender troops after the war.

Because of the small number of men and horses he brought, half of them were still soldiers and horses of Qingfeng Village, Zhao Shi saw that the local Yuan army was so slack, and it was almost the same as Yu Zhilong's assumption before the war, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on Juxian County further south, which was the seat of Juzhou's governance.
