However, the rain could not affect the spread of the news, the official army suffered a night attack in Baoying County, and the news that the 5,000 people were scattered without a trace spread throughout every place in the north of the South Zhili River in a few days.

Originally, the wealthy merchants of Qingjiang Pu had privately prepared the materials of the labor army, and even arranged reliable and trustworthy manpower to lead the way to respond, but the materials of the labor army were still being raised, and the manpower was not yet complete, and the news of the defeat and dissolution had already been spread.

This military report shocked Qingjiangpu, everyone knows that Zhao Ziying is strong, everyone has heard all kinds of deeds, what Xuzhou city broke 100,000 thieves, defeated the official army on the barren grass beach, paraded in the rain and retreated 2,000 iron cavalry, etc., but those are all heard, no one has seen it with their own eyes, the so-called hearing is false, this is a little suspicious.

But the official army gathered troops from Gaoyou Prefecture to the north, and Qingjiangpu was concerned about the abnormality, and there were people who reported back and forth, and there were people who contacted the governor of Fengyang, so it can be said that they knew everything about every move of this official army to quell the rebellion, but such a team was wiped out overnight, and before that, everyone still felt that the power of the Zhao Ziying camp in Qingjiangpu had been entrenched and stubborn, and when the news came, they knew that the shy and introverted young Dong Liuye had returned with a big victory.

Zhao Ziying is actually so strong? Thinking about the tragic carriage running over the crowd that day, Qingjiangpu felt the cold wind blowing up and down, and his whole body was cold.

On weekdays, looking at the hard training, strict discipline, and excellent armor, I can feel that Zhao Ziying's family and regimental training are not weak, but after this battle with the official army, it made everyone really feel strong.

Originally, I thought that as soon as the imperial court officials and soldiers arrived, whether it was simple or difficult, they fought to the death, and the end was that Zhao Ziying was wiped out, and then it was as usual, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid it will not be much faster, God knows how long it will be tossed, and how long it will stop this Qingjiangpu.

Some people still have hope, the southern soldiers have been in too safe and stable places for a long time, presumably the combat strength is weak, and the northern soldiers have been sharpened in the border pass for a long time, and the bloody battles with the Tartars are non-stop, and the combat power must be strong, not to mention the elite soldiers who defend the important places in Gyeonggi, and now it is up to the four thousand northern soldiers led by Lu Qin, the general soldier of Baoding

But even these hopeful people began to let their own backers and close courtiers prepare to save Wang Youshan from prison and prepare to appease Zhao Jin in Xuzhou

You have to make such a two-handed plan, after all, everyone still has to do business, Qingjiangpu is blocked like this, and any business will be delayed.

Then the number of people in the labor army began to increase, since the dock chaos was suppressed, only three wealthy merchants in Qingjiangpu escaped, and half of the men in the rest of the family were taken as hostages, and some although they did not participate, they also felt frightened, and did not dare to continue to stay here, these wealthy merchants and giants were hostile to Zhao Ziying, although they could not challenge and resist anything, but there were still cold sidelines and did not cooperate.

But after the battle outside Baoying County, everyone's attitude has changed, the current situation, how to look at the outcome is unknown, and how to look at it seems that Xuzhou side of the winning side is bigger, in such a situation, it is necessary to bet on both sides.

After the news of this battle reached Qingjiangpu, the number of banquets and gatherings of scholars also increased, and many scholars often cried and lamented after getting drunk, how did the imperial court become like this, the defeat of Liaodong was that the Tartars were strong, how to suppress thieves in the heart of Qingjiangpu and other hinterlands are so straw, it is really necessary to work hard, this is the opportunity for us to serve the country, and it is the time for us to serve the pillars of the country.

There is also a person who can't study and can't get famous, and he feels that the opportunity has come, maybe the dynasty is the beginning of the revolution, the new dynasty is the beginning, it is the time to employ people, we should recommend ourselves.

In addition, the local tyrants around Qingjiangpu, water thieves, salt lords, etc., also feel that when the time of the dragon comes, they should raise the banner and belong to Xuzhou, and there may be a treatment of the marquis in the future.

However, people who have such thoughts are naturally discouraged, they can't even enter the gate of the Zhao Ziying camp, as for the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who are making trouble on the periphery, this time it is just a regimental training led by Zhang Hubin, and it is the officers and soldiers of the Shanyang Qin garrison who are fighting the bandits and quelling the chaos together, and the surrounding bandits are swept away.

When Guo Shangyou, the governor of Fengyang, learned the news of Baoying's defeat, he was first furious, slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the ground, and scolded and said: "It's really shameless, untrustworthy, treacherous, obviously agreed in advance to keep their troops still, why raid at night, such a rat generation, it must be a doomed end, what can be done, shameless and shameless"

He is doing it here, and the staff and guards who know the details next to him will naturally not make a sound, and the city government is shallow, and his face will often show a little strangeness, is this shameless for us to scold?

After Guo Shangyou roared, the whole person sat in the hall for half an hour, and when he woke up, he immediately ordered his relatives to arrange a boat to cross the river, and then hurriedly arranged a sedan chair to send the family members in Taizhou City to Nanjing first, so as not to call the rebels in Xuzhou, and Taizhou City could not defend it at all.

The governor has the responsibility of guarding the land, and he can't go, but he must also be prepared, and there must be several ships ready to wait at the ferry on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Then the governor of Fengyang issued several orders, and Taizhou immediately summoned the people to renovate the city defense, put it on strict guard, and then urgently ordered the deputy general of Wolf Mountain, 6 Quanyou, to lead the troops to come over to guard, so as not to let the thieves in Xuzhou slip south, and the situation is out of control.

After the news arrived, Chu Qianzong from Xuzhou secretly ran out of the city, and he didn't know whether to avoid the military disaster or run back to Xuzhou, as for the messenger sent to Wolf Mountain to give orders, he came back very early, but until the governor Guerrilla Jiao Dayong gathered the rout troops in Taizhou, there was no news from Wolf Mountain

Fengyang Governor Guo Shangyou really seems to be an ant on a hot pot at this time, and he wants to reprimand and punish Jiao Dayong, but the only general he can rely on at the moment is this Jiao Dayong, and what to do can only be said afterwards.

Surprisingly, despite the news that came to the defeat and rout, the foot soldiers actually gathered more than 2,000, the horse team actually gathered more than 500, and the total number of deaths in the governor's standard battalion was only more than 100 people, and the Taizhou side is still constantly retracting, so calculated, in another month, it is difficult to make sure that most of the men and horses sent before can be completely collected, and what we have to do now is to hand over the more than 300 dead and wounded.

"The proprietor, anyway, they are all going to report defeat, and these people say that they were killed or injured by thieves, wouldn't it be more true." A reminder from a certain staff member made Fengyang Governor Guo Shangyou suddenly realize.

Originally, I planned to report a defeat and then vaguely pass this matter, but after sending someone to talk about it, I felt that I was a little sure of the victory of the sneak attack, so I had a big mind.

Now that the official army has been beaten and defeated in Baoying County, it is also expected, and it is good to do it according to the plan in advance.

"But if that gang of Xuzhou thieves continues to go south, there is no army available between Yang and Tai now, what should I do?"

The student felt that the proprietor didn't have to worry too much, the gang of Xuzhou thieves was unexpectedly brave, but it was so strong, if he wanted to go south, did the proprietor think that Jiao's guerrilla soldiers and horses could come back? Or can you come back so much? ”

This is true, if the Xuzhou forces on the side of Qingjiangpu want to plot against the Yangzhou Mansion, then they will not choose to defeat this time, but will encircle and annihilate the officers and soldiers outside Baoying City, and they will not let them gradually gather so many defeated troops now, the strength is only a small loss, and the proportionality of this battle is enough to explain the attitude of the other party.

Guo Shangyou, the governor of Fengyang, pondered there for a long time, but in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "You are so knowledgeable, but you are much stronger than those who are bold and greedy." ”

The proprietor raised and degraded the staff, but as a staff member, he couldn't answer, just stood aside, Guo Shangyou's face was obviously a lot more relaxed, but after being stunned, he groaned again, his body trembled inexplicably, and his voice was a little astringent: "The thieves defeated the officials and soldiers like a light weight, and there was even room for it, and this thief is only a part of Xuzhou, when did Xuzhou actually have such a big thing, what kind of thoughts do they have?" ”

Suspicious is suspicious, but now, it can only go down according to the pre-plan, these have already been planned, such as the fast horse to the imperial court to report defeat, saying that the Qingjiangpu chaos people are gathering, but the local soldiers and horses in Nanzhili are weak, go to quell the chaos to drive away the chaos is taken by the chaotic people, frustrated and retreated, and now there is no courage to advance again, asking the imperial court to do its best to help, or transfer the soldiers and horses left behind in Nanjing and the Jinshan garrison to cross the river to quell the chaos.

At the same time, the governor Guo Shangyou also mentioned in the recital sent to Beijing that the chaotic people were also wronged, and because of the famine and hunger, the government was not effective in providing relief, so they gathered in Qingjiangpu to block the luck of Cao, and begged for food and survival.

Although this official document was drafted by the staff, it can be said so boldly that it would have been impossible without the willingness of Governor Guo Shangyou.

After the previous rumors were combined with the defeat of Baoying County, Governor Guo Shangyou no longer felt that Nanzhili Jiangbei was a rich and prosperous place, and he didn't even want to accumulate seniority in the officialdom here.

And the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou have such strength but they still can't bear it, what are they waiting for, if they really want to rebel, how can these soldiers and horses in the south and Jiangbei be able to withstand it, and when the time comes, they will also lose their heads.

It's a matter of life and death, the official position and wealth can be put aside for the time being, since you have made up your mind, you don't care about any officialdom cover-up, since the Xuzhou staff general and the deputy general soldier of Wolf Mountain are so pushy this time, and even don't save them when they see death, then there is no need to leave any affection on the official documents, just say that it is waste, aren't they?
