Hearing Chen Qi say that fourteen carriages with additional carriages had been prepared, Chen Min nodded approvingly and said: "Tonight's breakthrough is a matter of life and death for our Chen family, and the property contained in the carriage is even more related to whether our Chen family can continue to become a strong family in the future, so there must be no loss, in order to reduce the weight of the carriage, except for the women and children of our own family, other side women and children are not allowed to enter the carriage."

The family that Chen Min said includes their three fathers and sons, which means that in addition to their father and son's families, the rest of the Chen family's daughters, old and young, can only find their own way when they break through.

Chen Qi and Chen Yan did not object to this, and then Chen Min asked again: "How many soldiers do we have in the Chen family now?" ”

Chen Qi immediately replied: "Now twenty-seven cavalrymen are on standby in the mansion, plus me and the second child, a total of twenty-nine cavalry, and there are fifty foot soldiers in the mansion, and the young and strong men can also make up about thirty people." ”

Chen Yan continued: "There are about 200 people in the city wall who belong to our Chen family, including the foot soldiers under the command of the eldest brother and some young and strong men of our Chen family. ”

Chen Min stroked his beard and said, "Whether our Chen family can continue to exist depends on whether we can break through tonight!" ”

Chen Min's words made Chen Qi and Chen Yan's faces look a little dignified.

In addition to the Chen family, all the families and Haoqiang families in Qixian County are hurriedly preparing for the breakthrough at night, and all families know that tonight's breakthrough is their only chance to escape.

The news that the family and the Haoqiang family in the county were preparing to break through quickly spread through the mouths of the servants of some families, so that the people in the county seat of Qi County also learned the amazing news, and the county town suddenly became chaotic.

In the county office of the county seat of Qi County, a school captain anxiously said to the county commander Wang Ji: "Lord, it's not good, the news that we are ready to break through from the north city gate tonight has been known by the people in the city. ”

When Wang Ji, the county commander of Qixian County, heard the news brought by this school captain, his face did not show a panicked and angry expression, but was extremely calm.

"This official knows, you go back to the city wall first to stabilize the situation, don't let the rogues outside the city take advantage of the opportunity, and let the soldiers prepare to retreat, we must leave this place tonight."

The captain hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, there are still nearly 100,000 people in the city, if they all follow us to break through from the north city gate, it will affect us." ”

Wang Ji showed a hint of intriguing gaze and said: "The official has long expected such a situation, such a big movement, it is impossible not to disclose the news at all, since the people know about it, then it is just right to let the various powerful families break through with the people, as for the official and the Wang family, they will not join in this excitement with them, we will break through from the south gate tonight!" ”

When the captain heard this, he immediately exclaimed involuntarily: "Break through from the south gate? Lord, there are less than 700 soldiers left in our hands that we can control now, even if we count the young and strong slaves of the Wang family, there are only more than 1,000 people, can these people alone break through the south city gate? It's better to use the people in the city to storm the encirclement of the rogues, and then we will take the opportunity to rush out!" ”

Wang Ji said confidently: "Don't worry! You will not do what the official is not sure of, you first go back to the city wall to control the soldiers and horses of your cronies under the command of the official, and bring all the soldiers and horses to the south gate before the hour tonight, and the officer will take you to break through! ”

The lieutenant wanted to say something, and then Wang Ji said again, "This official used the people of the whole city and more than a dozen powerful families to exchange for such an opportunity to escape from Qi County!" ”

Outside the county seat of Qixian County, in a tent in the camp of the Liukou in the north, a burly Liukou general sat on a chair wearing iron armor, and more than 20 Liukou generals who were also wearing iron armor stood on both sides.

The Liukou general sitting on the chair said in a deep voice: "Wang Ji, the dog official in the county seat of Qi County, has sent someone to inform us that tonight, more than a dozen powerful families in the city will break through from the north city gate with a large number of people, and Wang Ji, the dog official, will leave from the south city gate with the people of the Wang family. ”

At this time, a standing rogue general said: "Great Commander, we have lost more than 20,000 brothers in the county seat of Qi County, just let the dog official Wang Ji leave, the subordinates are really unwilling, it is better to let the subordinates take the people of the headquarters, ambush in the south of the county seat of Qi County tonight, and serve Wang Ji and the Wang family of Qi County!" ”

The great commander of this gang of rogues shook his head and said: "That dog official Wang Ji, there is still some use for this commander, the focus of tonight is to wipe out all the powerful families who broke through from the North City Gate, okay, you all go and prepare!" ”

"Yes, Grand Commander!" All the rogue generals said in unison.

After the more than 20 Liukou generals left the tent, a scribe in a robe walked into the tent and said, "The Great Commander, the person sent by the Wang Ji County Commander has been sent into the city by the students. ”

"Alas, Mr. Fang, do you think the imperial court can really recruit us people? Can the court still tolerate us? Wang Ji, a small county order, has so much energy? ”

"Great Commander, no matter whether Wang Ji has so much energy or not, this is an opportunity, we have been going on like this, after all, it is not a way, Zhao'an is a bright road for us."

The leader of this gang of rogues, that is, the great commander, his name is Xing Yong, who was originally a captain of the border army of the Great Jin Dynasty, known for his bravery, but because of the arrears of military salaries in the imperial court, even Xing Yong, the captain, could not eat enough, and finally Xing Yong directly escaped from the border with hundreds of generals.

Later, Xing Yong relied on force to directly annex a group of rogues in Wanzhou, and became the leader of the rogues, and as Wanzhou became more and more chaotic, Xing Yong's power became stronger and stronger, plus Xing Yong recently annexed several liukou, and now Xing Yong has hundreds of thousands of rogues under his command, including more than 250,000 young and strong men.

This time, Xing Yong personally led an army of 150,000 Liukou from Anhui to Yongzhou, and had conquered the county seat of Jue County, Changping County, Anhui Prefecture, and then coerced the young and strong men of Jue County, and the strength of the army did not decrease but increased, and waved 160,000 troops to attack Qi County, and in the county seat of Jue County, Xing Yong also left 10,000 elites to watch over the old and young women and children in the county seat of Jue County.

The scribe surnamed Fang smiled at Deng Yong and said: "Grand Commander, even if the imperial court recruits security, we don't need to be in a hurry, if the general can have a million troops under his command, then the imperial court will beg us to recruit security, and even the grand commander can get a title that is not low." ”
