Changguo Town, which is 100 miles away from Cangzhou, does not look like a village or town at this time, but like a lively camp, and the crowd is so crowded that it is almost about to overflow from the Changguo Town. [Full text reading]

Wu Ping, the initiator and leader of the uprising, was sitting on the big kang of a family, and on his tired face, only his eyes were still sharp. At this moment, his eyes fell on the man sitting on the other side of the pit, sipping wine and eating peanuts.

"The surname is Li, our brothers listened to your words and did not go to fight the Beijing Division, but went down to the southeast, but why are the areas around Haifeng Town, Yangerzhuang, and Suji Town all officers and soldiers? Could it be that your kid is a fine work of the court?! At this time, a big man sitting behind Wu Ping suddenly reached out and slapped the war knife on his waist, and asked loudly.

"Third child, don't be rude to Mr." At this time, Wu Ping frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

The plagiaristic man was Wu Ping's brother Wu Peng, and when he heard Wu Ping's displeased low cheer, he had to glared angrily at Mr. Li, who was still chewing peanuts and had a faint smile on his face, and sat down in his place, but the big hand still patted on the scabbard, as if to express his inner unwillingness and anger in this way.

"We first went north to take Xincheng County, and the soldiers pointed north, which has already alarmed the world, and the court was horrified, and sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, this is for sure. If we go north again, do you think there will be fewer officers and soldiers in the north than in the south? After Mr. Li took a sip of wine, he slapped off the flower foam on his hand and smiled.

"But we can go west, all the way to the southwest, as long as we can enter Henan, we can join those White Lotus Sect armies on the same road, and at that time, where in the world can we go?" Beside him, an old man who had been closing his eyes with a strange look suddenly opened his eyes and said to the man's side.

Hearing this, Mr. Li couldn't help but laugh loudly, and he smiled fiercely at Daoist Liu, and then he glanced lightly at Daoist Liu sent by the White Lotus Sect, Daoist Liu Kunzi. Regarding Liu Daochang's resentful gaze, Mr. Li didn't care at all.

"Daochang Liu is really calculating, but dare to ask Dao Chief, do you think that we, who are known as 100,000 strong soldiers, and most of those who drag their families and mouths, and only have an army of 15,000 soldiers who can fight, can really fight all the way from Shuntianfu? You must know that in the middle, but across the thousands of miles of Hejian Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion, not only is there a heavy army, but that Fukangan is now in Henan.

Could it be that Daochang Liu thinks that with us, we can defeat Fukangan, who has hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers around him? Or can we get out safely and enter Hubei in the interception of Fukangan and the bag of the Zhili Green Camp behind? ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The series of questions not only made that Liu Daochang shut up, but even Wu Peng, who had just scolded the man, couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Since they are the leaders of this righteous army, they naturally know very well the composition of this army, how many soldiers can fight in it, and at the same time, they also know very well that this scattered army is only forced to coalesce under the pressure of those surrounding officers and soldiers.

However, when the pressure is too great, or after this pressure disappears, Wu Ping believes that it will not be long before this so-called righteous army will inevitably collapse, or even kill itself.

General Wu rest assured that there are no more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Haifeng Town, Yangerzhuang, and Suji Town. I believe that by the time we arrive tomorrow, those officers and soldiers will be long gone, and as long as we pass Yangerzhuang, we will be able to go straight to Shandong. After Mr. Li saw that everyone had nothing to say, he turned his head and said in a deep voice to Wu Ping, who was thinking about things with a wine cup.

"Joke, will those officers and soldiers disappear out of thin air?" The Dao Master interjected again and sneered.

"Of course they don't disappear into thin air, but our people will help them disappear. At the very least, there is certainly no way for them to be an obstacle to our progress tomorrow. I, Li Zhengdao, can swear to you. The corners of Mr. Li's mouth curved slightly, his face was full of strong confidence and pride, and the source of his confidence was that an elite army of about 3,000 people had quietly landed on the coast of Tianjin Mansion under the cover of Zhu Li's merchant ships, and at the same time, another elite pirate force of about 2,000 people had already gone up the Panhe River and captured Haifeng on the edge of the Panhe River, and now had control of Haifeng County and the wharf in their hands.

As long as this rebel army can enter Shandong, then, in the shortest one day, the longest two days, there will be thousands of ships, and all the rebel troops, totaling more than 70,000, will be evacuated from Haifeng and flee to Kyushu Island.

"Your people?" Wu Ping suddenly raised his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Li Zhengdao's words made the air in the room instantly turn into a dead silence, and everyone stared at him with their eyes, as if they would pounce on him in the next moment, and take the tiger bench pepper water to make him spit out the truth.

Li Zhengdao smiled faintly as if he was not affected in the slightest: "If I don't have anyone, how can I transport two thousand war knives, five thousand spear tips, five hundred muskets, and tens of thousands of stone of rice grain to your hands?" ”

Li Zhengdao's answer made the air in the room seem to have only slightly resumed circulation, and the cold glint in Wu Ping's eyes gradually disappeared. That's right, if Li Zhengdao relied on his own strength, how could he come up with so many supplies, if no one helped him, how could he notify himself in time before several officers and soldiers entered the suppression, changed the route, and escaped from the pursuit of those officers and soldiers. Although Wu Ping was already vaguely guessing Li Zhengdao's identity, he really couldn't understand which anti-court force Li Zhengdao belonged to, because the head of the White Lotus Sect's Zhili Sect was next to him, but he didn't know this Li Zhengdao at all.

And in the whole world, Wu Ping really hasn't heard of any other force besides the White Lotus Sect that dares to oppose the court?

"Who the hell are you? Or who are you doing things for, and for whom are you helping us? Wu Ping finally put forward this question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

Li Zhengdao calmly met Wu Ping's gaze: "We are neither serving for the Manchu court, nor are we serving the White Lotus Sect, the reason why we are doing this is only because you are Han Chinese, Han people who were oppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and were forced to resist, so our head of state His Excellency ordered that no matter what the price is, you must be rescued and let you live safely." ”

"Your Excellency?" Wu Peng scratched his scalp habitually, and he really couldn't figure out who the person represented by this term was.

"You'll know, but not now. But isn't our cooperation for so long enough for you to trust me? Li Zhengdao's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room, and his voice was very convincing and inflammatory.

"Mr. Li, we believe in you." A general surnamed Wu stood up and said loudly: "If it weren't for you, we would be in Wen'an, Qingxian, and Cangzhou, I don't know how many times we have died, how would we still live until now, if you harm us, why save us?" ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The simplest and most simple truth, yes, since you saved us, will you still harm us? The generals of the righteous army in the house responded one after another, and Li Zhengdao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, he had long known that Wu Ping was suspicious of his identity, but there were some things that he took the initiative to confess, which was not a good thing, so Li Zhengdao had been working silently, giving advice, and did not do anything he shouldn't do, he just waited, and waited for these people to fully trust him, only then could he complete the mission given to him by the adult and save these fresh lives, No longer let them fall like cattle under the swords of those court officers and soldiers.

"But Mr. Li, how can we believe that it will be safe if we enter Shandong, now, we have received the news that the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division are less than three days away from us, and although there are no more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the Yangerzhuang area, how can I believe that your people can easily solve them?" At this time, the Liu Daochang shouted unwillingly: "Don't forget, there are even cavalry in those soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, and they really want to launch a ruthless attack, I am afraid that they will be able to rush to Yangerzhuang in one day and one night, and at that time, we will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy." ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, although you have brought us a lot of swords, guns and supplies, so that we don't need to storm those states and counties to get supplies, you must know that there are many old people, women and children in our team, do you want us to leave them behind? Three days, in fact, is not much. Wu Ping raised his head, drained the wine in his glass, and looked at Li Zhengdao, who looked unfathomable.

"Of course not, if that's the case, I will agree with Daochang Liu, go west, or go southwest, even if I die in a few battles, I will have to make a big noise." Mr. Li shook his head and said. These words made Daochang Liu's face turn blue with anger, which clearly alluded to Daochang Liu asking everyone to break into a dead end. But right now, all the generals of the Wu Ping Righteous Army are waiting for this Mr. Li to continue, and no one pays attention to Daochang Liu's mood.
