Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The head of the county order, Li Fengyun's whiteness, represents bloody killings. The Yongcheng bureaucrats were disarmed and surrendered, and the rebels easily took Yongcheng.

In addition to the frontier that was still at the forefront of the Civil War, the government, the army and the general public in China were far away from the war and suffering. And while millions of Middle-earth people enjoy the well-fed, clothed, and stable life brought about by peace, they have gradually lost many precious things.

The bureaucrats capitulated. There were more than 70 people in the county government, and except for a dozen or so major bureaucrats such as the county commander and the county lieutenant, none of them resisted. No one wants to die in these years, and the killing of the rebels in Xia Ting obviously scared them, it is better to die than to live, it is better to live than to die.

The local army in the city also surrendered. Because during the Eastern Crusade, the imperial court increased the collection of taxes and the levy of forced labor, the contradictions between the officials and the people were violent, and the conflicts continued, and the thieves and thieves became more and more rampant, and the local security problems became more and more severe, and the county government was overwhelmed, so it increased the security force, and the number of the local army in Yongcheng swelled to more than 200 people.

Li Fengyun did not order the massacre, but accepted their surrender, ordered them to join the rebel army, swore allegiance to himself, and if there was any dissent, there would be no forgiveness.

With the help of the Yongcheng bureaucrats and the local army, the raid of the rebels in Yongcheng was very smooth. The official warehouses of the county government were all opened, and the arsenals of the Yingyang Mansion were also opened, and those who could be moved were moved, and those who could not be moved were ready to be burned.

Lu Xingxing proposed to build yì, since he wanted to burn Yongcheng with a fire, why not loot the bureaucrats and nobles and rich people in Yongcheng? Why don't you take the tens of thousands of people in Yongcheng away? If the rebel army wants to develop and grow, it is inseparable from money, food and population, and how can we give up this great opportunity in front of us?

Chen Rui, Han Shou, Guo Ming, and Yue Gao all supported Lu Xingxing's construction. Chen Rui even came up with a more adequate reason. Han Yao was about to assemble men on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and it was conservatively estimated that he could pull out a team of thousands of people, of which at least nearly 1,000 were young and strong, so that Han Yao's strength would surpass Li Fengyun's, and Yan zhòng threatened Li Fengyun's leadership of the righteous army.

Li Fengyun flatly refused.

Ying Yanglang took Fei Huai with three regiments of Ying Yangwei to Mangdang Mountain, and Mangdang Mountain is less than a hundred miles away from Yongcheng, and the news of the fall of Yongcheng will soon be transmitted to Fei Huai. Fei Huai turned around and killed, and the eagle Yangwei ran wildly, and he could kill Yongcheng in a few hours, so there was too little time left for the righteous army.

"Where are we going after the fight against Yongcheng?" Li Fengyun asked how many leaders there were.

This is a question that the rebel leaders are very concerned about, and there is no need to ask before the fight against Yongcheng, but after the defeat of Yongcheng, this question has become extremely urgent.

"Back to the mountain." Han Shou said without thinking, "Go back to the mountain immediately." ”

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "Let's go to Pengcheng." ”

Going to Pengcheng? Pengcheng has Zuo Xiaowei Mansion, and there are more troops under Zuo Xiaowei Mansion, wouldn't it be self-defeating to fight in Pengcheng?

Li Fengyun immediately explained. Han Yao wanted to gather men and horses on both sides of the Tongji Canal to raise the banner to rebel, and for this reason, the rebels had to help him "transfer" the Yingyangfu troops from the two banks of the Tongji Canal, and the only way to "transfer" these troops was for the rebels to immediately move to Pengcheng.

The deep meaning of Li Fengyun and Chen Rui's forced Han Yao to rebel was not understood by Lu Xingxing, Han Shou and others. He is an aristocratic bureaucrat, we are thieves and criminals, not people from all the way, why do you have to force him to rebel? If you want to harm him, just cut it with a knife, clean and neat, why make things so complicated and bring endless trouble to yourself?

As soon as Li Fengyun's voice fell, Han Shou expressed a different opinion, "Why do you want to go to Pengcheng?" We can go to Daliang County and Dangshan City through Mangdang Mountain. ”

"The purpose of a certain is to plunder heavy troops." Li Fengyun unceremoniously interrupted Han Shou's words, "XX said that those heavy soldiers are crucial to the survival and development of the righteous army, and the reason why XX forced Han Yao to rebel is precisely to use his strength in Qian County to help us transport those heavy troops back to Mangdang Mountain." Without Han Yao, what do we do to carry heavy troops? If we move to Liang County, how can we plunder the heavy troops nearby? Away from Han Yao, how can we keep in touch with him, and how can we join forces with him to rob the heavy army? ”

Han Shou didn't dare to speak, and the others couldn't find a reason to refute Li Fengyun, so the matter was settled.

"Later, we will go to Jinkou Wharf, burn what should be burned, grab what should be robbed, and be fast." Li Fengyun made a rough deployment, and finally said, "The boatmen and sailors on the canal, whether old or young, are all taken captive. We have more than 200 young men in Yongcheng, plus the boatmen and sailors who were captured in Xiating, and those shipbuilders, we can also make up three regiments. If we can capture a group of boatmen and sailors to-night, we will be able to gather at least four regiments. When plundering heavy fleets, we can also capture a group of boatmen and sailors, and if we are lucky, maybe some eagle guards. In this way, our men and horses will soon be able to exceed 1,000 people, which is enough to suppress Han Yao, and there is no need to worry about losing the control of the rebel army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Rui, Lu Xingxing and others understood it, their morale was greatly boosted, and they responded to the promise.

The Jinkou Wharf in Yongcheng is about four or five miles away from the city. That night, the rebels wore the uniforms of the Eagle Guard, swaggered and occupied Jinkou, capturing Jinwei, Peng's subordinates, and dozens of young and strong miscellaneous servants who temporarily served as Jinkou's guards.

Then came the plunder. The Eagle Guard represents the army, the force of the dynasty, and the absolute authority that cannot be violated. Ying Yangwei came forward to rob people and things, no one dared to resist, and everyone chose to obey. Although he was full of anger and doubts about Ying Yangwei's move, the Eastern Crusade was imminent, and the interests of the dynasty and the army were higher than a qiē, and any abnormal or even illegal actions were now normal, unquestionable, and irreversible, otherwise you would be unlucky.

However, when Ying Yangwei began to set fire to the ship and began to burn the entire Jinkou wharf, hundreds of boatmen, sailors, walkers and pawns on the dock, as well as merchants and their retinues and slaves, finally realized that something was wrong. Thinking of the fact that Xia Ting, which was rumored to be boiling over, was burned down by thieves and the waterway was interrupted, some people boldly speculated that these Ying Yangwei might be dressed up by thieves, and there were even some whimsical people who directly deduced that Yongcheng Ying Yangwei had rebelled, as for why they rebelled, only God knows.

On the eve of dawn, hundreds of boats on the canal and the Jinkou wharf were quickly engulfed in flames, and the skyrocketing flames reflected half of the night sky.

At dawn, thick smoke billowed over the city, and the entire city was quickly engulfed in flames.

At this moment, the Eagle Yangwei was carrying the wealth and strong men looted from Yongcheng and was crossing the Suishui River. On the way, some people tried to escape, tried to resist, but were killed by the bloody killing of Eagle Yangwei, and also sat and killed, one person escaped or resisted, and more than a dozen innocent people were buried for him, and the killing had a huge deterrent effect, everyone supervised each other, no one dared to leave the team, and no one took the lead to resist.

At the beginning of the morning, the team crossed the river and rested temporarily at the Taoyi.

The little tyrant saw Han Yao again, saw General Bai, and saw the army of Yingyang Mansion, and the billowing smoke over Yongcheng a few miles away and the hundreds of strong men in front of him who were carrying their shoulders and panicked made him clearly aware of what happened to Yongcheng last night, and what Han Yao and General Bai were doing.

Rebellion, the benefactor actually rebelled, Ying Yangwei rebelled, and he was involved in it in a daze, and he would definitely die.

Rebellion, I only have to rebel.

The little tyrant wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, he wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare to be angry, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and he thought he was unlucky.

"Benefactor, take me with you, and from now on, saddle before and after the horse, swear to die."

Han Yao was physically and mentally exhausted, but he had to cheer up, mobilize people, and plan to raise the flag. Seeing that the little local tyrant took the initiative to be loyal, his mood improved slightly, "Take your people, and your belongings, and go with so." As long as you have something to eat, you won't go hungry. ”

Li Fengyun summoned all the leaders and made careful arrangements to prepare for Han Yao's raising of the flag and plundering heavy troops.

As far as Han Yao knew, the fleet carrying heavy troops was still in Pengcheng County, and was about to enter Qian County, considering that the canal channel had been interrupted in both Xiating and Yongcheng, and the fleet would definitely be stranded in Linli County or the Tongji Canal section of Yongcheng County, so Han Yao decided to set the location of the flag uprising in Linzhuo, so as to facilitate the plundering of the heavy army fleet.

Li Fengyun accepted Han Yao's proposal, in fact, he had very limited influence on Han Yao's raising of the flag, and all he needed was Han Yao's cooperation.

Based on this, Li Fengyun decided that the rebels would divide into two routes. One route, Li Fengyun led a large army and went straight to Pengcheng County, where he operated in the vicinity of Xiao County, Fuli County and Qi County, and "transferred" the troops of Yingyang Mansion in Qian County from Tongji Canal to facilitate Han Yao's raising of the flag. One route was led by Han Yaowei, plus some surrendered bureaucrats in the Yongcheng County government who were willing to follow him, and went south along the Tongji Canal, gathering people along the way.

Then Li Fengyun and Han Yao agreed on the way to keep in touch and the code word, and the two said goodbye.

Fei Huai met with Wang Yang, the deputy Ying Zhan Lang who came to support, and the two regiments of Ying Yangwei on the bank of the Suishui River, and then led the army to cross the river and march eastward, killing Mangdang Mountain, but at the moment when he was about to enter Mangdang Mountain, he received the shocking news that the righteous army had captured Yongcheng, burned Yongcheng Jinkou, and the canal channel was cut off again.

This news had a huge impact on Fei Huai and Wang Yang, making the two almost collapse.

The two are dead. Although the thieves are cunning and have succeeded repeatedly, Fei Huai's mistake is also fatal, he should not be angry, transfer all the troops of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion, he should leave at least one regiment to protect Yongcheng and protect the canal channel of Yongcheng section. Now that Yongcheng has fallen, the canal channel has been interrupted again, and the situation in Daozhì County is rapidly in crisis, and the time to clear and dredge the channel has been greatly extended, which will inevitably delay the imperial court's plan for the eastward crusade. As the chief and deputy governor of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion, who is responsible for the safety of this section of the canal, the guilt is too great, even if the two of them do not die, their lives will be completely over, and they will definitely sit through the prison.

Kill, kill back, don't kill these evil thieves, and swear not to be a man.
