After all the qiē outside the city was done, Li Guocai personally led the team into the city of Guangzhou.

Li Riye, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, had already been waiting at the city gate, leading many officials to bow down to Li Guo.

Li Guo jumped off the horse with a smile, "Brother Li, don't be polite, get up, it's okay!" ”

Li Riye and others were afraid that Li Guo would regret it after entering the city and kill them, and they had been uncertain in their hearts.

Li Guo pulled up Li Riye and the others, and said, "You should ride a horse, you should ride a sedan chair, hurry up and go to the palace, I still have something to do." ”

So, Li Riye followed Li over to the lobby of his pacification envoy.

Seeing Li Riye standing straight, Li Guo hurriedly ordered someone to find a chair, sat down for Li Riye, and then said, "That's the case, Brother Li, you have always been a pacifier, and you will be in the future." However, there are too many salaries for the lower officials. Therefore, when I came this time, I had to borrow silver not only from Guangzhou Prefecture, but also from all prefectures and counties in Guangdong. I'm just afraid that the local officials won't give me face, so I have Lord Lao Li and all of you, please issue a proclamation to all places, so that they don't have to panic, just listen to my orders. ”

Only then did Li Riye understand the real reason why Li Guo didn't kill him, but the meat was on the chopping board, and he couldn't do it anymore, so he wrote a proclamation according to his words.

Therefore, Li Guo sat in the capital of Guangzhou, sent many teams of people, under the leadership of Li Riye's officials, with Li Riye's own handwritten proclamation, to the various state capitals and counties in Guangdong, hoping to occupy all parts of the country without blood.

In fact, the counties around Guangzhou Prefecture have greeted the Tiger Army and are willing to cooperate with the Tiger Army's actions. Of course, none of them can be called surrender.

It's just that Li Guo's idea is too optimistic. Soon something big happened

In the area of Nanxiong, Guangdong, there is a place called Yangxian. This is a large county, close to Fujian Province, and the county order is called Zhangtong.

Regarding Li Guo's march into Guangdong and the edict to take over Guangdong, Zhang Tong had long known about it. Zhang Tong was not afraid, nor was he ready to hand over Yangxian.

Zhang Tong did not write a report to the imperial court, but immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to a close confidant of his own. "Go, notify Lord Zheng quickly!" Zhang Tong commanded.

The Lord Zheng that Zhang Tong said was none other than Zheng Zhilong.

Although Zheng Zhilong was only a guerrilla general earlier. Now he has just been appointed as the commander of the Southeast Water Division, and his official position is not high. However, Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, and after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he has been in charge of maritime trade with the Japanese kingdom, and his wealth has been poured all over the world. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's power has long spread throughout Fujian, and some officials in neighboring provinces have also defected to Zheng Zhilong or been bought by Zheng Zhilong.

Zhang Tong is the most staunch follower of Zheng Zhilong, because he followed Zheng Zhilong as a pirate in his early years, but others don't know it.

Immediately, Zhang Tong summoned the officials and gentry of Yangxian County to come to the meeting.

Face the crowd. Zhang Tongqing was excited, "Everyone, now Li Guo is good at using swords, which can be compared to An Lushan and Shi Siming in the Tang Dynasty, and we should follow the example of Zhang Xun who defended Yongqiu back then." Destroy Li Guo's thieves, do your best for the country, and be loyal to death! ”

Everyone looked at each other. Just this small county town, and still exterminate Li Guo?

But. Zhang Tong's words gave everyone confidence: "Li Guo's rebellion is already obvious to the world." Although my Yangxian County is small, it is high-spirited! What's more, I have already notified Lord Zheng Zhilong from Fujian to come to the rescue, and he will definitely want Li Thief to fold his wings in Yangxian County! ”

Although Zheng Zhilong is in Fujian, his name is also very remarkable in Guangdong, and he is no worse than Li. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and powerful factions such as Li Guo and Zheng Zhilong had their own control range. Therefore, I heard that Zheng Zhilong was coming to help Yangxian, and the gentry and officials in Yangxian County had confidence.

So, Zhang Tong began to plan

At this time, Li Guo's cronies, Wang Si, a general who grew up among the children's soldiers, was leading his troops to appease Nanxiong according to the deployment.

Wang Si is now an auxiliary general, appointed to the rank of division commander of the Second Army, and is the main force in the absolute main force of Li Guo's department.

In addition to leading his main force of nearly 5,000 people, Wang Si also led some small detachments, which accepted various county towns, while he accepted the capital city.

Among them, it was none other than Wang Si's younger brother Wang Wu, who had been in command of the team. This is Wang Si's only relative. The two became orphans when they were young, they were taken in by Li Guo when they were in Shaanxi, and they have always been among Li Guo's children's soldiers.

Wang Wu is a few years younger than Wang Si, so when Wang Si started the campaign, Wang Wu can only be regarded as the second echelon among the children's soldiers. Later, Wang Wu gradually grew up and was transferred to a personal soldier by Li Guo, and later, with the growth of Li Guo's strength, he was also promoted to a small leader. And now, because of the changes in Li Guo's army, Wang Wu was promoted to auxiliary lieutenant, leading a hundred people, and was a company commander. Wang Wu served in the rear army and was Niu Cao's subordinate, and now it is under the jurisdiction of Wang Si.

The two brothers haven't been together for a long time, so they are naturally very affectionate.

However, Wang Si was still a little worried about Wang Wu, after all, Wang Wu was a sincere person, and he had much less experience in fighting than Wang Si. Therefore, Wang Si instructed and instructed Wang V, and warned Wang Wu to be careful.

When it came to the fork in the road, Wang Si had to continue to move forward, while Wang Wu had to go another way to Yangxian.

Before parting, Wang Si specially instructed Wang Wu, "Xiao Wu, although he is only taking over a county seat, he should also be more careful." Although it shows that the army does not resist the war, it is necessary to be careful of deception. ”

"Brother, I know." Wang Wu agreed, but he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Si didn't take it to heart, at this time, the momentum of the Tiger Army was huge, and it was like a bamboo in Guangdong, who would dare to compete? Unconsciously, including Li Guo, the whole army underestimated the enemy.

Wang Wu took his 100 men to Yangxian.

When I arrived outside the city of Yangxian, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and there was no one on the city.

Wang Wu was a little puzzled, and at this moment, two people ran out of the city gate, waving white flags, and ran to Wang Wu.

"Who are you? What about your prefectural ordinances? Why don't you come out and be surrendered? Wang Wu asked.

"My county magistrate is arranging a banquet, and the fathers and elders of the whole city are waiting for you!" The man said.

Wang Wu thought about it and felt that it should be fine, so he led the team into the city.

The county seat of Yangxian County is not big, and the streets are not wide, so Wang Wu's party walked along the long street to the county office. Wang Wu walked and walked, it didn't feel right, such a narrow area put out a long snake formation, if there was an ambush, wouldn't it be to be beaten!

Wang Wu immediately ordered, "Stay on guard!" ”

Unfortunately, it was already late.

With the sound of drums, a large number of soldiers and militia groups armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns appeared on the houses on both sides of the street. (To be continued......)
