Fei County did not have Li Chun's troops. After the defeat of the Mengshan Army in the spring of last year, Fei County was briefly occupied by the Mengshan Army for a period of time. After the Mengshan army withdrew, Duan Qirui, who succeeded Li Chun, only sent Zhao County's order back, and did not send a single soldier to this outpost county town facing the Mengshan army's bandits' nest. Duan Qirui's reason was that Fei County was too small, and there were too many soldiers to be stationed. Fei County is too close to the "bandit area", and the lack of soldiers is simply a gift to the opponent, especially when the enemy is already equipped with artillery. Therefore, simply do not send a single soldier.

Until the Mengshan Army accepted the main force of Zhao'an to go north, and until Long Qian led his troops back to Lunan, there were no officers and soldiers stationed in Fei County, and only the government officials maintained law and order. It has become a very special county seat in Lunan.

Fei County is a hundred miles away from Yizhou, and the official road is built along the valley of the Jun River, winding through the mountains. When the forward troops of the Mengshan Army cut off the official road from Yizhou to Fei County, within half a day, both Yizhou and Fei County got the news.

Fei County is still Zhao Muying. Because of the existence of the Mengshan Army, the county order of Fei County has become a drudgery that everyone in the officialdom avoids. Although Zhao Muying made the serious mistake of escaping from the battle, the superior leaders forgave him, reinstated him as an official, and sent him back to his original post. Not only that, but even the money and grain that Fei County should have paid were exempted. Anyway, the superiors also knew that a large area west of the county seat of Fei County was not under control at all, and the taxes could not be collected if they wanted to.

This officialdom outcast is worried about surviving in Fei County. Fortunately, the situation was unusually calm during this time, except for business travelers, soldiers in military uniforms were rare in the county, and the "bandit army" shrank in Zhengjiazhuang, and occasionally appeared soldiers. They were all messengers sent by Li Chun to Jinan and convoys sent by Jinan to transport supplies.

His subordinates reported that Zhao Xianzun said that there was a large force of cavalry in the west of the city, and Zhao Muying hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, and he ran up to the west city to lookout. Last year, the west gate was hit by a cannonball, and the city gate was repaired, but the broken city wall is still there. Seeing the smoke and dust billowing and the faint appearance of cavalry in the field of vision, Zhao Muying knew that it must be the Mengshan army. Until he saw clearly the words on the right wing of the Weisheng Army on the military flag headed by Gao Qing, Zhao Muying complained bitterly in his heart, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened. The subordinates were puzzled, and Zhao Muying reprimanded. There are no soldiers. What to take to defend the city? Moreover, the current Mengshan Army can also be regarded as the army of the imperial court, what reason is there to keep it out?

Seeing the cavalry approaching the city gate, Zhao Xian ordered him to hurriedly go down to the city. Met the cavalry squad head-on. There were about twenty people. Explaining their identities to each other, the cavalry platoon commander said to Zhao Muying that our army was aware that a loud horse appeared near the left. It should be the remnants of the remnants of the party, under the order of General Long Qian, the commander of the right wing of the Weisheng Army, to pull the net to suppress the bandits here, and ask Zhao Xianzun to issue a notice to calm the people, so that the people do not travel to Yizhou, so as not to be injured by mistake.

Half an hour later, the cavalry of the Mengshan Army Brigade entered Fei County. That night, more infantry marched into Fei County and set up camp, and Fei County immediately became a world of soldiers. It was Biaotong Lushan who led the army, and he briefly visited Zhao County's order and asked him to come forward to maintain it, so that the people would not panic, and the Weisheng army's trip was just to suppress bandits.

Zhao Muying immediately wrote a letter and sent his cronies out of the city in disguise overnight to report to Yizhou and Jinan respectively.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lushan's troops left Fei County and marched in the direction of Yizhou. More follow-up troops arrived one after another, and the scene made Zhao Muying's heart tremble, where is this banditry, it is clear that he is going to fight with Lord Li Chun!

Yizhou.

Li Chun never expected that Long Qian would dare to block Yizhou! The intelligence was gathered one after another, and in the north and east of Yizhou, there were about four battalions of infantry of the Weisheng Army, who cut off the official road, built fortifications, and did not allow Yizhou to cross with one person or one horse. To the west of Yizhou, a large force of Weisheng infantry and a small number of cavalry have appeared, and the road to the west is undoubtedly broken, and only the road to Jiangsu from Yizhou to the south is still unblocked.

The Yizhou garrison has only three battalions that are not fully staffed, and because of last year's defeat, the replenishment of weapons has not been in place, and its strength is far lower than before the war began last year. Therefore, when Li Chun was about to start a war with Long Qian like a thunderbolt, Tang Shaoyi waved everyone back, and Li Chun was calm.

"With our troops, it is reluctant to defend the city, so don't think about it when you go out of the city to fight. Besides, Long Qian's department is extremely brave, I was present in the battle of Xigu, it is not for me to underestimate Brother Xiushan, in a battle like that, our army will never be able to fight! Now Long Qian's strength has already surpassed last year, and he has absorbed more than 1,000 people from Tao's three divisions, and compared with the strength of the troops, they are at least three times more than three times that of our army. Although Tang does not understand military affairs, he has also read the thirteen articles of Sun Tzu and knows the truth of the Taoist temple. What's more, Lord Yuan is doing his best to operate the Jingshi, in case he forces Long Qian against him and leads to erosion in Shandong, how can he be the right handsome? It's better to go see Long Qian like this. He's just a resentful protest against us! ”

That's right. But Li Chun really couldn't swallow this breath. originally planned to frustrate Long Qian's prestige, but now he was forced by others, but he folded his prestige. Li Chun knew in his heart that if he started a war, not to mention whether he would win or not, the first person to question him would be Yuan Shikai!

"Shaochuan, do you think they dare to shoot at our army? I've sent a foot squad to Phila County. I don't believe that Long Qian really dares to rebel! ”

Tang Shaoyi became anxious when she heard this, "How is this a matter of temptation?" Even if Long Qian won't really turn against the imperial court, his subordinates are all from Xiangma! In the event of a conflict, how can we explain to Lord Yuan? That's it, I'll catch up! ”

Tang Shaoyi has not yet left the city, there has been a conflict in the north of the city, Li Chun sent a group of infantry in advance was blocked by the Mengshan army, this team of officers and soldiers was originally sent by Li Chun to test the opponent, Li Chun hoped that Long Qian was just bluffing, and might not dare to really use force. Therefore, Li Chun's order to the team officer is that as long as the other party does not shoot, you are not allowed to shoot, and follow the main road for me!

The officers faithfully carried out Li Chun's military orders, and the warning shouts of the Mengshan army occupying the high ground on both sides of the mountain road, the infantry team from Yizhou simply ignored them and marched forward. The Mengshan army then fired a warning shot, and the Yizhou soldiers who were on high alert heard the gunshots and immediately panicked, and they had no time to identify that the platoon guns just now were just warning shots fired towards the sky.

The conflict ensued, and a volley of bullets fired from the Mengshan army, which occupied a favorable location. Immediately caused two dead and three wounded in the avant-garde platoon! The Yizhou soldiers crawled out of the firepower network with a roll, and it happened that Tang Shaoyi led people to catch up on horseback, "Don't fight!" A certain is Tang Shaoyi, the prefect of Yizhou! ”

Tang Shaoyi was a bold one, daring to rush to the front line and shout, revealing his identity, and stopping the pursuit launched by the Mengshan army, "I want to see Long Qian!" You dare to shoot at the officers and soldiers, do you want to rebel! Tang Shaoyi, who was riding on a horse and dressed as a civilian official, scolded the officer at the head with a fierce voice.

That officer was Zheng Shuangqing, the commander of the No. 7 Company of the Second Standard, who participated in the Battle of King Qin and knew the Tang prefect. "What is this called? Those who are with you can attack our commanders. You can shoot at our army and provoke us, and we can only be beaten honestly? ”

"Control your soldiers!" Tang Shaoyi couldn't call the name of the officer opposite, but he was a little familiar, "Don't make trouble for General Long!" Take me to your commander. ”

"Our commander is not here!"

"Who is the Supreme Commander?"

"Lushan standard."

"Take me to him!" Tang Shaoyi had already seen the dead lying on the ground. I can't complain in my heart.

Lu Shan listened to the gunshot. Pegasus comes here. Splitting the head met Tang Shaoyi.

"Lu Shan! Are you going to spoil your family's big things! Tang Shaoyi reined in the horse's head and said fiercely.

"Hey, it turned out to be the Tang Governor's Mansion. What happened? ”

"You've done a good job!" Tang Shaoyi pointed to the corpse on the ground. The wounded were rescued by the Mengshan Army. Tang Shaoyi didn't see it.

"Our army is carrying out military affairs and is suppressing bandits, it must be your people who shot and provoked first__" Lu Shan was also shocked when he saw the dead people. Long Qian's order was to blockade Yizhou and try not to clash with the Yizhou soldiers, who knew that something like this would happen the next day__

"Nonsense! Lu guerrilla, you are in trouble! ”

"Come less! Are you scared when I am a mountain? ”

"Under the city of Yizhou, where did the bandits come from? It's clear that you are deliberately provoking! "Before settling this matter, Tang Shaoyi must calm the other party.

"Who said there are no bandits? Without bandits, who attacked our commander? Is it Li Chun's soldier? "Lu Shan didn't give an inch.

"Who asked you to lead troops to Yizhou to spread wild! Do you really not take the laws of the imperial court into account? ”

"The commander of my family is the envoy of Yizhou town appointed by the imperial court, and the right wing of the Weisheng Army is stationed in Yizhou, and he can go wherever he wants. It is you who do not respect the orders of the court! Lu Shan calmed down, "Governor Tang, for the sake of us fighting the enemy side by side in Xigu, I don't embarrass you." Go back and tell Li Chun, let him know the current affairs, don't provoke the commander of my family to get really angry! ”

Lu Shan bit Long Qian's position and Yizhou, where the Weisheng Army was stationed, Tang Shaoyi was really difficult to refute, but Tang Shaoyi was not the clumsy Qiu Ba below who only knew how to dance knives and guns, "Even if your Weisheng Army can run rampant in Yizhou, but is Yizhou under the rule of Shandong?" Do you obey Lord Yuan's military orders? Is the Yizhou soldier an official army? If you shoot your allies and sue them to the court, you will not escape justice! ”

"I don't want to see something like this happen. Who shoots first, you and I can't tell. It was the soldiers, not the people, who died, and they didn't have hoes in their hands! Lu Shan turned around and ordered, "Collect the corpse and transfer it to the Tang Governor's Mansion." Are there any injuries? ”

Zheng Shuangqing ran over and saluted, "There are two wounded soldiers, who have been bandaged." There is no danger. ”

"Your company fired just now, right? What's going on? Speaking in front of the Tang Governor's Mansion. ”

Zheng Shuangqing described the process.

"You see, you can't blame my people." Lu Shan spread his hands.

"That's your side of the story! If this matter is good, immediately hand over the murderer and withdraw the troops back to Zhengjiazhuang! I will turn around for Long Qian in front of Yuan Futai. ”

"Mr. Tang, although you are a civil official, you have also seen the battle array. You should always know that the military order is like a mountain. I was ordered to suppress the bandits, so that you can be scared back with a word, and you will still have the face to mix in the Mengshan army in the future? The withdrawal of troops must have the military order of the commander of my family! As for the murderer, he is ready to ask you and Li Chun for it. That Zheng Cheng was originally Li Chun's subordinate, colluding with bandits to murder the commander of my family, you should hand him over, so as not to really hurt the harmony of the two families. ”

And the fart of the kind! Tang Shaoyi knew that Long Qian would definitely take Zheng Cheng to explain, "Zheng Cheng's guy is no longer in the Yizhou Army for a long time." I don't know where they went. Let me ask you, where is Long Qian? ”

"You want to see the commander? Okay, come on, take the Tang prefect to Fei County to see the commander. However, for safety, the people you bring with you must call out the weapons if you want to follow. Lu Shan waved his hand, and Zheng Shuangqing's soldiers rushed up and gave the guns of the four entourages brought by Tang Shaoyi.

"Lu Shan! You! Tang Shaoyi was furious.

"If you want to go, you can leave, and if you don't go, you will go back." Lu Shan waved his hand and turned his horse towards the north.

Tang Shaoyi was helpless, and after thinking about it, this matter must be solved by seeing Long Qian, so he grabbed the horse's belly and chased after Lu Shan.

"It's a pleasure!" The bearded Lao Zhankui smiled and said to the platoon commander, "Happy! ”

"What's so painful about this! If the Yizhou soldiers dare to come out to provoke again, they will still fight back! Get ready for battle and dig your bunker a little deeper! ”

"Since the commander is not afraid of the government, why not directly attack Yizhou?" Lao Zhankui was extremely hostile to the officials and the army in his bones.

"That's not something you should worry about. The most important thing for our Mengshan army is discipline, let you fight, you will fight fiercely. If you don't want to fight, you'll be honest with me. ”

"Yes, yes." Lao Zhankui has been joining the Mengshan Army for more than two months, and he is very convinced by the platoon commander, the Mengshan Army is indeed powerful, and what convinces him the most is that the officers take the lead, and the officers will definitely do what they ask the soldiers to do. For example, training, including the company commander, is the same as crawling with them, and it is by no means a foodie who only moves his mouth.

"Brother Lao, you really dare to shoot at the officers and soldiers." Lao Zhankui's original younger brother whispered.

"Don't you know the way? They turned out to be the same as us, they are all in the same vein of the Green Forest Road. (To be continued......)
