54 Worries
The sky was bright, and the attack and defense of Qingshui Fort had long since ended.
The fires set during the battle have been extinguished, and the corpses of the Ming army have been disposed of. Groups of ragged victims are waiting for porridge to drink.
A hundred meters further ahead of the soup kitchen, there is a clear water side warehouse, and there is a long queue of victims at the door. After drinking porridge, they voluntarily joined the rebels and lined up to receive food.
Wang Jiayin stood on the nearby arrow tower, looking at the lively scene in front of him with joy. Looking into the distance, you can see the people rushing by.
He stroked his long beard from his forehead and looked greedily at the crowd that had gathered.
The disaster in Qindi was serious, but the government didn't care about it at all, but instead intensified the collection of taxes. It is believed that after the news of the opening of the warehouse here spreads, there will be a steady stream of disaster victims.
By the time the government reacted and came to suppress it, it already had a large army on its side. At that time, there was already the capital to fight or go.
Although Wang Jiayin thought so, he still turned his head to look in the direction of the county seat. If you want to say that the officers and soldiers who can rush over the fastest time, they can only come from the county seat.
Although it is not very far from other border forts, the border army cannot act on its own. If they leave their posts without permission and come to suppress themselves, they are captured by the Hetao and take advantage of them, then no matter how great their merits are, they will not be able to escape their posts.
Wang Jiayin himself is from the border army, so he also knows that there is one of the biggest drawbacks in the border army, which is the reason why the border army will not come over quickly to suppress him. He understood, so he was relieved.
The county seat is about 40 miles away from Qingshui, and if someone had fled to report the news at the beginning of the war last night, and Wu Tinggui had done nothing in the county seat, then it is estimated that in another hour or so, the officers and troops might have been discovered.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiayin frowned slightly, and he didn't know what was going on in the county, this Wu Tinggui was really, good or bad, and there was no news at all.
I have to plan for the worst, Wang Jiayin thought, then turned to one of the guards beside him and said, "Go, find the six Yang brothers!" ”
These guards are his cronies and are the most reliable in terms of loyalty. But before the guard could speak, he heard an excited voice at the top of the staircase: "No need to look for it, I'm here!" ”
"Haha, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Wang Jiayin laughed, walked quickly to the staircase, stretched out his hand and pulled Yang Liuyi, and then asked, "How is the team?" How many troops are there? ”
"Brother, brother, I'm here to report the good news." Yang Liu grinned and said, "There are far more victims from all directions than expected, and there are more than 300 people who are physically strong alone. These men are already armed. There are also about 500 people of the inferior body, and there is a shortage of weapons, and sticks and sticks are temporarily used. ”
Wang Jiayin was overjoyed when she heard this, and said yes repeatedly. After walking back and forth for a few steps, he immediately instructed: "Go, send our original brothers to the direction of the county seat to listen to the movements, and if there is any problem, go to the mountain pass to ambush them, and kill them by surprise." If it was okay, the whole team went to take Huangpu Fort, where the border troops had fled a lot, but there were still a lot of ordnance. ”
"Okay, listen to my brother." Yang Liu immediately agreed, then hesitated for a moment, and asked with a worried face, "Brother Tinggui hasn't heard from there yet, could it be that there is more luck than luck?" ”
When Wang Jiayin heard this, he was silent for a while, as if answering Yang Liu's words, and as if comforting himself: "He brought fifty of his best brothers over, plus Hu Kuan is from the county seat, so it stands to reason that he won't." ”
After a pause, he shook his head again and said: "But after all, the county town is the nest of the You family, and the territory that has been in business for so long, if it is discovered by the You family, if the two sides fight hard, the You family will not only have more people than the Tinggui brothers, but also be well-equipped and powerful......
At this point, he shook his head, his face was worried, and he didn't say anything more.
There was silence on the Arrow Tower, except for the commotion coming in from outside.
Wang Jiayin thought about it for a while, suddenly raised his head, and said with a forced smile: "Look at me, who is an elder brother, it's all here to guess." In this way, if you don't take a trip in person to see the situation in the county, I won't worry about others. ”
"Okay." Yang Liu clenched his fists in agreement, but he hesitated for a moment and asked again, "What about this side of the matter?" ”
"I'll let the non-muddy brothers take over for the time being, just come back as soon as possible." Wang Jiayin had already thought about it and answered immediately.
Then he approached Yang Liu, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "How we go next is all on your side!" ”
Yang Liu also knew the importance of movement in the county, so he no longer hesitated, immediately clenched his fists and arched his hand, and walked downstairs quickly.
Listening to the sound of footsteps in the distance, Wang Jiayin came to the window again to watch the hot food distribution scene, and watched silently, his face was no longer excited before.
But after a while, I heard the sound of footsteps coming quickly. When Wang Jiayin heard this, he was shocked, don't it matter, right? Before he had time to walk over to take a look, he heard Yang Liu's joyful voice shouting: "Brother, brother, good news, great joy!" Brother ......"
When Wang Jiayin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to the staircase, and sure enough, he saw Yang Liu coming up with a happy face, there was good news.
As soon as he saw Wang Jiayin showing his head, Yang Liu stood still on the stairs, hugged his fists and congratulated: "Brother Tuo's tiger power, Brother Tinggui has taken the county seat, and you are the head of the noble." ”
"What? Is this true? Wang Jiayin had an expression of disbelief on his face and hurriedly confirmed.
How difficult it is to take the county seat of Fugu, Wang Jiayin is clear. It was because it was too difficult, so he didn't set Fugu County as a goal from the beginning.
Yang Liu nodded again and again, and pointed down: "Brother Tinggui has sent someone back to tell you, it is true, there will never be a fake!" ”
"Good, good!" Wang Jiayin said three good words in a row, and then earnestly instructed, "Quick, bring the messenger, I will ask in person!" ”
Yang Liu was just about to agree, but Wang Jiayin changed his mind again, and said excitedly while stretching out his feet to step on the staircase: "Forget it, I'll go down to see him!" ”
So, the two hurried down the stairs. In the process, Wang Jiayin also stepped into the air once and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was good and stood firm in time.
As soon as he reached the ground, he saw the person sent by Wu Tinggui, hurriedly stepped forward, and held the messenger who was about to kneel, and at the same time asked happily, "You Dagui is dead?" The county town has been defeated? ”
The man nodded, but there was not much joy on his face, and said, "Yes, but ......"
When Wang Jiayin heard this, his heart was cold, there would be no problem, he hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
"But I haven't controlled the scene yet, the county is in chaos right now, and Leader Wu wants my brother to take someone to ...... quickly."
