The prefect Wu Yuan voluntarily went out of the city to quell the chaos in order to stay away from the right and wrong at home, but he did not expect that the valley in the north was not calm, and groups of displaced people poured out of the mountains, like jackals, tigers and leopards, to defeat the first batch of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who arrived later were in a stalemate, and neither side could take advantage.

What gave him even more headaches was the captains of the factory guards, who could not help, but would only add to the chaos, urging the officers and soldiers to launch an attack.

"You have all seen that this group of anti-thieves is extraordinary, all of them are like wolves and tigers, and the officers and soldiers do not have an advantage, and they attack rashly, but they are afraid that they will not return. In order to be sure, it is necessary to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then make plans. Besides, there is a lack of generals in the army, who will command the troops at this time? ”

Nansi Zhen Fu Liangxiu nominally does not belong to the two factories, in fact, he relies on the East Factory behind it, after several days of fighting, he and the East Factory 100 households turned enemies into friends, together to resist the power of the West Factory.

Liang Xiu brought people to the barracks and advocated an offensive, "The government has reinforcements, but the displaced people don't?" The displaced people in the mountains are pouring out of their nests, and if they wait any longer, the officers and soldiers will lose even this advantage. The prefect claimed that the homeless people were like wolves, and the reason was that in the deep well in the valley, and every time they waited, the power of the anti-thieves would increase by one point. As for the general, this is a tough battle to the death, the one who occupies the deep well wins, there is no need to command, as long as the prefect personally presses the formation, don't be timid and retreat. ”

Wu Yuan smiled wryly, "Although I am a civilian official, I also know that this is not how the war is fought, and someone has to arrange troops and strategize." I thought that the north was just a small group of chaotic people, and a hundred or thousands of households could be commanded, but I didn't expect ......"

"I have a hundred households here, and I am a town, which is equivalent to a thousand households, you can hand over the military power."

Of course, the military power cannot be handed over, and it will be investigated afterwards, which is a felony to lose his head, but Wu Yuan did not dare to offend Dongchang, so he could only persuade him with good words, hoping to persuade the other party to change his mind.

When Hu Guiyang and Shi Guida arrived, there was an endless dispute in the Chinese military tent, and the prefect Wu Yuan led thousands of troops, but at this time, he was fighting alone, facing Liang Xiu and other seven or eight people alone.

The two people who had just arrived belonged to the West Factory, and the people in the East Factory immediately shut up, Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately said: "Captain Hu, Captain Shi, you came just in time, will Wang Changgong of the West Factory be able to lead his troops to arrive tomorrow?" ”

Shi Guida snorted, "The day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Liang Xiu pretended not to see Hu Guiyang, and immediately shook his head and said: "The day after tomorrow is too late, the thieves in the valley have absorbed enough strength from the deep well, and no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, they are not opponents." ”

"Lord Zhenfu means Danxue?" Shi Guida asked rhetorically.

There are not many secrets in Yunyang Mansion now, Liang Xiu thought for a while, and replied: "That's right, since Captain Shi also knows about Danxue, he should know how critical the situation is, and he must immediately recapture the valley." ”

Shi Guida took a few steps forward and stood between the prefect Wu Yuan and the others, he was young and had a low position, but at this time he naturally took on the responsibility of resolving disputes, "The Dan cave in the valley must be taken back as soon as possible, but it is useless to send troops at this time." ”

Liang Xiu sneered, "I thought Captain Shi had some clever plan, what is the difference between this and not saying it?" ”

"Yes, if you want to recapture the Dan Cave, but you can't send troops, you can only take other methods."

Liang Xiu glanced at his own people, especially Zuo Yu, who had not spoken much, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Send people into the mountains to persuade them to surrender, even if they don't succeed, give a reminder to the besieged soldiers in the valley, and agree to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the chances of victory are slightly better."

"How many times has the government sent people to recruit the mountain people, but they didn't succeed before, but now they can succeed?"

"This time and that time."

"Who's going to persuade you to surrender?"

Shi Guida looked at Hu Guiyang at the door.

Hu Guiyang recognized everyone present and said with a smile: "I'm going to send you to death, you guys are meritorious, is anyone willing to change with me?" ”

No one wanted to, Liang Xiu glanced at his companion again, "In the early morning of tomorrow, with the cannon as the signal, the internal and external attacks will be attacked, Wu Zhifu, can you do it?" ”

The prefect Wu Yuan was already anxious, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll try to transfer some more troops and send someone to ask Zang to garrison, if I have to fight tomorrow morning, I must be commanded by him." ”

Liang Xiu glanced at Hu Guiyang a few times, "You want to go alone?" ”

Hu Guiyang took two steps forward, "No, you need two guards." I heard that the magic of the Lord of Zhenfu has been restored, and he can fight against ten again? ”

Liang Xiu's face changed, he did go to Xiaogui Island with Zuo Yu and others the night before to seize the Danxue, showing his skills, because of the intervention of the West Factory, they had to withdraw, "I, I won't go, I am the Jinyi Wei Nansi to pacify, if it falls into the hands of the thieves, the enemy will be majestic, I won't go." ”

Hu Guiyang said in surprise: "Lord Zhenfu has misunderstood, two guards have been found, one is Captain Shi, and the other is outside the tent. I'm just curious, what does it feel like when you slap your fist? ”

Liang Xiu's face was red and white, and he coughed, "Hu Guiyang, how the official feels, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled and bowed his hand to the prefect Wu Yuan, "Farewell, please send someone to send us to the enemy camp." ”

Wu Yuan nodded immediately, accompanied the two lieutenants out of the tent of the Chinese army, called an officer, and ordered him to recruit some soldiers to escort the envoy to surrender, and then he invited Hu Guiyang aside and asked in a low voice: "You are all gone, who will stay in Xiyuan?" ”

Hu Guiyang raised his right index finger and did not answer.

Of course, Wu Yuan understood who this person was, and sighed, "The two factory directors will arrive tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I am really ...... Alas, Westgarden understands my difficulties, right? ”

"Yes, very well." Hu Guiyang patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder, smiled, and turned to walk away.

Wu Yuanji was not used to the cordial posture of this brocade-clothed captain, but this time he didn't care, but pondered what the so-called "understand" meant.

Sending Hu Guiyang and the others away, Wu Yuan returned to the Zhongjun tent, intending to transfer troops and send generals, but when he saw that Liang Xiu was still there, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, his face was impassive, and he asked, "Liang Zhenfu is still in trouble?" ”

Everyone else had left, and Liang Xiu stepped forward, "Does Governor Wu know about Jin Dan?" ”

"I've heard a little."

"You should always know the benefits of taking Jindan, right?"

Wu Yuan snorted.

Liang Xiu was still afraid that the prefect would not understand, so he pulled out the waist knife he was wearing, held the handle with one hand, and wrenched the blade with the other.

When Liang Xiugang drew his knife, Wu Yuan was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and only stopped when he saw that the other party only showed his ability, "Liang Zhenfu ...... Sure enough, divine power. ”

Liang Xiu threw away the remnant knife, "I have never studied martial arts seriously before, and I have only been taking Jindan for more than ten days, so I have such a ability." No matter who it is, even if it is you, the prefect of Wu, taking the golden pill will also be very beneficial. ”

"I'll forget it, I've been studying literature since I was a child......"

"What about the five thousand soldiers in the battalion?"

"Where did you get so many golden pills?"

"There is a Dan cave behind me, there is a Dan cave in the village temple, which has been occupied by the West Factory, Captain Shi is not there, and the Wu Governor can call the shots and send troops over to ......"

Governor Wu Yuan understood what Liang Xiu meant, and immediately waved his hand, "I just formulated a plan to persuade him to surrender, and he can't change it again, Liang Zhenfu don't say much." ”

"Without the help of Danxue, in a battle tomorrow morning, the officers and soldiers will be defeated."

Wu Yuan's face was displeased, "Not long ago, Liang Zhenfu persuaded me to attack desperately, and now he said that the officers and soldiers will be defeated, this ......"

Liang Xiu smiled and arched his hand: "Governor Wu thinks about it again." ”

Liang Xiu left, Wu Yuan shook his head, his impression of the people guarding the factory was even worse, he called the lieutenant generals of the army, ordered them to transfer troops everywhere, and immediately returned to the city, asking the garrison Zang Lian to come to support.

After everything was done, it was getting late, and the soldiers who escorted Hu Guiyang and others returned, and reported that the thieves had accepted the envoy to surrender.

Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief again, and secretly prayed that the persuasion could be successful, which was a great thing for the officials and the people, and for the public and private.

But the matter was not over yet, Wu Yuan was just about to eat, and one of his cronies and entourage hurriedly came in and reported that the merchant Qian Gong asked to see him.

Wu Yuan was very displeased, although Qian Gong said that he came to Yunyang Mansion openly, he should also avoid suspicion and not mention the word "Shangfu" everywhere.

But people still have to see it, Wu Yuan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and let the entourage bring people in.

Qian Gong came alone, bowed down before entering the tent, got up and said a few polite words, and didn't say anything about his intentions, Wu Yuan had to let his entourage retreat.

Qian Gong came to the table and held an object in both hands, "My master has been entertained by adults, and there is no way to repay him, so he specially ordered me to bring this thing to offer to adults." ”

It was a red jade pendant, and it seemed to be the rumored Jin Dan.

Wu Yuan was shocked, got up and said, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

Qian Gong smiled, "This is a gift, why should adults know so much?" ”

Wu Yuan stared at the red jade, this thing was a little abnormally red, other than that, there was nothing different, "Thank you on my behalf, this gift is too heavy, it is deserved, please bring it back." ”

Qian Gong put the red jade on the table and said with a smile: "Adults have not learned the fire god technique, so they can't take it directly, so they can be used slowly in the heart, and there should be no clothes in the middle." If it doesn't work, or if you don't like it, you can throw it away or give it to others. ”

Qian Gong bowed and retreated, not at all caring whether the prefect would use the jade pendant.

In the tent next door, Liang Xiuzheng was discussing with Zuo Pre, and both of them felt that this was an opportunity, and they must encourage the prefect Wu Yuan to "seize" the Dan cave in the village temple.

The curtain was suddenly lifted, and the prefect Wu Yuan stepped in, Liang and Zuo were both taken aback, looking at the prefect, they felt that he seemed to have changed a little.

Wu Yuan's face was radiant, and there was no trace of anxiety and embarrassment on his face, "Rebirth, this is rebirth." Wu Yuan looked at his hands, because he had not learned the Fire God Technique, he had not gained the skill, but this did not prevent him from being energetic, as if he was back to twenty years old.

It's even better than that, the twenty-year-old Wu Governor is still studying hard, and it's not interesting to speak of, and now he feels more like the moment when he learned about his gold list title at the age of twenty-five.

"Tomorrow morning's battle, the outcome is unpredictable, the rear Dan cave must not fall into the hands of the thief, rather than the enemy, it is better to strengthen our army. In an hour, I will lead my troops back south, and you will have to help me, and you will have to teach me more ways to take the golden pill. ”

Liang Xiu and Zuo Yu looked at each other and were pleasantly surprised.

At the same time, Hu Guiyang and the other three were waiting in the camp to be received by the rebel leader, completely unaware of the changes that were brewing in the rear.
