Li Zhongju told Song Naruto to send several forces to persuade the small groups of hungry people in the rest of Qingxi County to return to their hometowns, and at the same time promised to compensate them with food. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zhongju left Song Naruto to lead the Lieshan battalion to be stationed in Qingxi County, and he returned to Zhenyuanfu City with the town military camp.

Li Zhongju returned to the Zhenyuan Mansion and found that Liu Jiang had completed the task and returned to the Zhenyuan Mansion, so Li Zhongju immediately summoned Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang reported to Li Zhongju about the hungry people he had encountered along the way and how to deal with them. In Taigong County, Liu Jiang used relatively strong means to suppress a landlord who wanted to take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. In Tianzhu County, Liu Jiang used Huairou to force all the "rebellious people" to submit to the government.

Li Zhongju highly praised Liu Jiang, and Liu Jiang was also very excited, after all, he was the commander who came up with one hand, and he could have today's status and identity, and he knew that everything was the commander who looked up to him.

Liu Jiang has always kept in mind Li Zhongju's earnest teachings, and he always wants to repay the commander. Thankfully, this time he finally had the chance to repay the favor, and this time he did a really good job.

Li Zhongju instructed Liu Jiang, "Peng Ren, you go to Li Yi and receive two thousand miles of silver, which will be distributed to all the brothers of the Red Sword Battalion. ”

Liu Jiang immediately said gratefully, "It's the commander, thank the commander for the soldiers of the whole battalion." ”

Li Zhongju patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder, "Peng Ren go, it's better for the soldiers." ”

Liu Jiang nodded vigorously.

In Liping County, Liping Prefecture, Zhizhou Tong Ming sat on a bamboo chair with a tired expression, thinking about what had happened in Liping Mansion in the past month. Tong Ming's hair has also turned a little gray these days. What's more, three counties in the province were occupied by the rebels.

Tong Ming was also very annoyed, what kind of madness did these chaotic people have to rebel and attack the county seat. And this damn weather, what kind of flood, it makes people panic. And those landlords, don't you think your life is long enough, you have to provoke those untouchables at this juncture.

The master walked in and looked at Zhizhou Tong Ming's appearance, and he was actually very sad, after all, this was the lord he had followed for half his life. He'd never seen an adult like this.

Tong Ming watched the master who had followed him for many years walk into the study, and suddenly seemed a little energetic, "Old man, you're here!" ”

The white-robed man's eyes were a little moist, "Master, let's quickly ask for support from the surroundings." ”

Tong Ming raised his head, "We asked for support from Zhenyuan Mansion or Duyun Mansion. ”

The white-robed master said seriously, "Master, I think we should ask Zhenyuan Mansion for support, Duyun Mansion is similar to us, and we shouldn't be able to spare help." ”

Tong Ming nodded, "Old man, then in my name, you can ask Li Zhongju, the governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture, for support." ”

The white-robed master nodded, immediately sat down at the desk, wrote hard, wrote an official document, and showed it to Zhizhou Tong Ming.

Tong Ming was very satisfied, and immediately stamped the official seal of Liping Mansion, with an evil smile on his face, which was very ugly.

The white-robed master immediately sent the fine horse to deliver the letter to Zhenyuan Mansion.

Li Zhongju looked at the letter from the governor of Liping Mansion, and his heart moved, which was good news for himself. As long as he leads the army into Liping Mansion, can he not hold Liping Mansion in his hands?

Li Zhongju immediately waved his pen and wrote a letter for the messenger to bring back to Liping Mansion.

Li Zhongju immediately summoned Liu Jiang, told Liu Jiang about the matter, and instructed Liu Jiang to prepare for the expedition.

Half a day later, Li Zhongju took dozens of guards and the Red Sword Battalion towards Qingxi County. Li Zhongju planned to join Song Naruto's Lieshan camp and go together to support Liping Mansion.

Two days later, Li Zhongju led a large army to Qingxi County, and after converging with Song Naruto's Lieshan camp, the 2,000-strong army continued to advance south.

When the army entered Liping Mansion, everyone felt an atmosphere different from that of Zhenyuan Mansion. Zhenyuan Mansion has always given people a sense of peace and quietness, and even if the chaos is launched this time, the impact is not the greatest.

But Liping Province gives people a breathless feeling, as if the whole place is dead and lifeless. The people, the workers, or others, give the impression of the walking dead.

This greatly affected the mood of everyone, but fortunately, Li Zhongju was witty and instilled in everyone a spirit of fearlessness in advance of any difficulties.

The deeper Li Zhongju's army went into Liping Mansion, the deeper this feeling became. Along the way, he encountered a lot of hungry homeless people, even if Li Zhongju wanted to help them, he couldn't help, after all, he was not in Zhenyuan Mansion, and Li Zhongju couldn't mobilize enough food.

So Li Zhongju could only comfort them that everything would be fine, and at the same time give these homeless people a little food.

On March 18, 1888, Li Zhongju's army entered Yongcong County, a county seat that had not been occupied by rebels except for Liping County.

The county commander got Zhizhou Tong Ming's text early, so he was still very enthusiastic about Li Zhongju and the army.

Yong took out a small amount of grain from the government treasury from the county order and entertained Li Zhongju's army, and he was familiar with Li Zhongju.

Li Zhongju looked at the text sent by Yongcong County Order to Tong Ming of Liping Zhizhou, and really took himself seriously. He commanded himself to enter Mianping County, eliminate the rebels, and restore government rule in Mianping County.

Li Zhongju smiled mysteriously, since Tong Ming wanted to use himself to clear the Liping Mansion. Tong Ming wanted to rely on his weight in front of the governor and let himself work hard to fight for him.

I have to say that Tong Ming's plan is very good, if ordinary people really know his way. But who is Li Zhongju, how can a generation of male masters be at the mercy of a small Wupin Zhizhou.

Li Zhongju asked Yongcong to report to Zhizhou Tong Ming from the county order, and he would lead the army to Mianping County and promise to eliminate the rebels there.

Yongcong County Commander was very excited to upload the news to Zhizhou Tong Ming, and he believed that he would definitely be appreciated by Zhizhou.

Li Zhongju said he would do it, and immediately led the army to Mianping County.

A day and a half later, Li Zhongju's army came to Mianping County.

Li Zhongju ordered the army to rest in place, and immediately sent scouts around to inspect the military situation, and at the same time instructed these scouts to pay attention to their own safety.

Li Zhongju sat on the edge of a boulder with Liu Jiang and Song Naruto, and the three of them formed a circle.

Li Zhongju looked at the two of them and said, "This time we were invited, but the other party seems to be deliberately playing tricks on us, that Tong Ming wants to use his relationship in the province to let us serve for free." So, this time we have to be cautious and cautious. ”

Song Naruto's face immediately became gloomy, "Commander, how can this Tong Ming be like this, how can he be so unkind." ”

Liu Jiang didn't speak, he looked at Li Zhongju, he knew that the commander must have a solution.

Li Zhongju said lightly, "We don't have to think about it, the so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." Let's just wait and see what happens. ”

The two nodded.
