Early the next morning, the fire in Anyang County had gradually been extinguished, and the whole county was dead silent, so that there was no one in the city, and this silence was soon broken by the sound of horses' hooves shaking the mountains, and countless cavalry appeared far away outside the county seat, and there were 3,000 people just listening to the sound.

In this cavalry team, the banner is embroidered with the word king, and the only one who can play such a banner in Hanoi County is the Taishou Wang Wenshu. In the middle of last night, Wang Wenshu received the news that Anyang County was occupied by bandits, and that night he gathered all the soldiers and horses of the county overnight, and came from Zhihuai County, the county. And the county was captured such a major event, Wang Wenshu did not dare to hide it anymore, that night he wrote an urgent report to send Chang'an, of course, what he wrote as much as possible to avoid the important and light, only said that the thieves are a group of rabble, lucky to attack the county, he has led the army to go, soon to recover the county, the thieves will be killed.

But when Wang Wenshu rushed to Anyang with thousands of cavalry and galloped hundreds of miles overnight, he found that the city gate was completely open, and there was not even a person in the city.

"Pass the order, rush directly into the city, and kill anyone who encounters a thief!" Still outside the city, Wang Wen Shu ordered a direct attack on the city, and in his mind, there were no decent thieves in the whole of Hanoi, even if these thieves were in full array, they could not stop their own army of iron horses.

When Wang Wenshu took the cavalry around the county seat of Anyang, he found that the entire county had not been destroyed except for the county government that was destroyed by fire, and the thieves did not even have a shadow.

"Report, sir. The granary of the county town was ransacked, and there was no trace of thieves in the city! In addition, we found on the city wall the corpses of the commanders and commanders of Anyang County, as well as the officials and servants of the whole government, a total of 173 bodies. Wang Wenshu now really has a feeling that he has nowhere to vent his anger, and he is going to kill the generals violently, but the thieves are gone, these thieves have captured the county, and they can give up such a huge temptation and give up.

Later, Wang Wenshu found several prominent families in Anyang, and finally learned from these people about the fall of Anyang County. To Wang Wenshu's surprise, these thieves only asked the rich families in the city to hand over some money, grain, horses and inferior weapons, and left in a hurry without committing any offence to ordinary civilians.

"Do you know the origin of these thieves?" Wang Wenshu asked with red eyes, if you don't catch these people and kill them all, don't say that he can't swallow this breath, even Emperor Wu of Han will not let him go.

"If you go back to the adults, these people should be from the Taihang Grand Canyon, their leader is called Bai Zheng, this person was also a native of Anyang, and later took a group of people to the Grand Canyon to build a cottage when he made a mistake. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" A wealthy man in Anyang hurriedly said that Bai Zheng is still well-known in Anyang, and he has not done anything harmful to the sky on weekdays, at most he has collected some safe wealth from merchants, and he has never done anything to kill people and sell goods.

"Bai Zheng...... Someone comes, and the order goes down. Set off immediately to exterminate the thieves in the Taihang Grand Canyon. Wang Wenshu knew that the situation was serious, and the sooner Bai Zheng was punished, the lighter his guilt would be.

"Report ...... My lord...... Adults are not good! Just when Wang Wenshu was about to immediately lead the army to the Taihang Grand Canyon, another horse galloped over, shouting that it was not good, which made Wang Wenshu's brows furrowed.

"What's wrong again?" Wang Wenshu was already very impatient, although Bai Zheng defeated Anyang and evacuated, which made him less responsible for the fall of the county, but the officials of Anyang County were killed, which is also a very trivial crime. At this moment, this person's shouting made Wang Wenshu's heart more and more angry.

"Your Excellency, I just got the information. The five counties of Xiuwu, Yewang, Heyang, Shanyang, and Wuyang were captured by five thieves early this morning, and now the five cities are lost! The herald hurriedly said breathlessly, before he finished speaking, Wang Wenshu only felt a flower in front of him, and a loud buzz in his head, and the person almost stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

The Taishou is responsible for guarding the land and the people, and Hanoi County has a total of sixteen counties, even if Anyang County is excluded, now all five counties are lost, which is equivalent to losing one-third of the whole county, and only one is enough for Wang Wenshu to be beheaded.

"What can I do? What can I do? Although Wang Wenshu usually kills people, encountering such a major event also makes him confused.

"My lord, do you want to attack the Taihang Grand Canyon?" The soldier who was about to give the order just now asked Wang Wenshu tentatively.

"Captain Feng, what should we do now?" At this time, Wang Wenshu was already in a mess, and he could only turn to Feng Ning, the captain of Hanoi on the side.

"My lord, the top priority now is not to be too thief. We must recover the five counties of Wuyang as soon as possible, only by recovering these cities, we may still have a chance to atone for our crimes, otherwise, ......" Feng Ning said with an ugly face, he is the governor of Hanoi, and he and Wang Wenshu are both responsible for the fall of the city, and recovering the lost territory as soon as possible may also allow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to open up. At this time, Bai Zheng and the others had already abandoned Anyang and continued to return to the Taihang Gorge, which was completely different in nature from those thieves who occupied the county seat. Before recovering the lost territory, no one had the energy and heart to care about Bai Zheng and others.

"Yes, Bai Zheng will try again in the future, and the top priority now is to recover the lost five county towns. The closest to us is Shanyang County, immediately set up troops to Shanyang, I don't believe that this rabble can stop my 3,000 iron horsemen? Wang Wenshu calmed down a little, he also knew the priority of the matter, and it was obvious that he would put the cart before the horse when he went to Bai Zheng for trouble. After nearly a whole day of work, Wang Wenshu couldn't take a break, and immediately ordered the army to march to Shanyang County to kill.

Shanyang County is only more than 50 miles away from Anyang County, and it can be reached in less than an hour at the speed of cavalry. However, Wang Wenshu's 3,000 cavalry ran all night, and it was already dusk in the afternoon, and he had not eaten for a day, so it can be said that he was really sleepy and lacking horses. It stands to reason that neither Wang Wenshu nor Feng Ning should make such a mistake, but they are too anxious in their hearts, and they really don't take the thieves who make trouble seriously. The two of them also knew very well in their hearts that these so-called thieves, except for a very small number of murderers who were murderous and over-the-top, most of them were poor, old and weak who were poor, poor and hungry, and they had to deal with these people, with their own 3,000 cavalry.

3,000 cavalry is already the strongest combat force that Hanoi County can draw out for a while, and this also depends on the horses produced by Hanoi County. Of course, Wang Wenshu's 3,000 cavalry are not comparable to the regular army, most of them are just soldiers from the county guard and the governor's mansion, as well as some government officials from neighboring counties such as Huaixian County Ya, such cavalry are far inferior to the 3,000 Youbeiping County soldiers trained by Lu Bode.

"My lord, there is Shanyang County in front of you." Wang Wenshu led his army to gallop through Shanyang, and saw a city in the distance located in an open valley.

Shanyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the whole area is also vertical and horizontal, because it is a city built in the mountains, it is smaller than the county seat of Anyang.

"How can it be so quiet? Could it be that the thieves who attacked Shanyang also abandoned the city and left? Wang Wenshu has long kept an eye on it, and no one in a county can see at a glance that the situation in Shanyang County at this moment is quieter than when they arrived in Anyang in the morning.

"What the hell are these guys trying to do?" Feng Ning also said with great confusion.

"No matter so much, this official doesn't believe that a group of rabble can still turn against the sky? We went straight into town. Wang Wenshu really wanted to kill someone happily to vent the anger in his heart now, and his reason was swallowed up by anger little by little, and many questions began to be ordered before he could think about it.

Soon 3,000 cavalry swarmed into the city and entered the county seat of Shanyang, and sure enough, as seen from the outside, there was no one in the city. However, unlike the situation in Anyang County, there are no rich or common people in Shanyang County, and no one has been found in several households today.

"My lord, it's a little weird. Why is there so much dry wood piled up near the gates and on both sides of the streets? Wang Wenshu said to one of his own soldiers. Because the streets of Shanyang County are narrow, these dry firewood piles are on both sides of the streets, making the thousands of cavalry feel very crowded in the city.

"My lord, you see there's a fire over there." Before Wang Wenshu could react, another pro-soldier hurriedly pointed in the direction behind Wang Wenshu and shouted.

Wang Wenshu hurriedly turned his horse's head and turned to look, and sure enough, he saw fire and smoke rising from the other direction of the county, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, spreading to the entire county at an obvious speed.

"No, we've got a trick, get out of the city." At this time, Wang Wenshu understood that he had fallen into the trap of thieves, and thousands of his men and horses had entered this small Shanyang county town, and the horses could not stand the flames and smoke, and the whole scene became chaotic.

"There was also a fire in the direction of the city gate...... We're trapped! "Thousands of cavalry did not mean that they could leave the city immediately after an orderly evacuation, and before the first wave of people left the city, a huge fire was also ignited at the city gate, and the houses of this era had a large number of wooden structures, and it was now winter, and the weather was dry and dry, making the fire out of control.

Under the scorching flames and smoke, the horses were frightened, if it was only three thousand infantry, maybe it could be called a calm response, after all, a county town is still a little open, but now a few thousand war horses have become an uneasy factor. The horses were frightened, and many soldiers fell from their horses, and the horses galloped and trampled to death and injured many soldiers. At this time, there was no need for bandits to come out, and Wang Wenshu's 3,000 cavalry would be in chaos.

"My lord, there is a small river in the northeast corner of Shanyang County, there is water there and the terrain is a little open, we can go there first to get water to extinguish the fire, just open an exit and rush out." In the panic, there were very few people who did not lose their minds, and Feng Ning, the governor of Hanoi, was one of them, and he knew the situation of the counties under Hanoi County relatively well, and at this time he also remembered that there was a small river running through the city in the northeast corner of the county.

"So what are you waiting for, get over there." Wang Wenshu immediately said, the reins in his hand had been strained, and he headed towards the northeast of Shanyang.

Shanyang City is small, but after a while, the king of kung fu Wen Shu took the soldiers who had not been injured to the northeast of the city to the river. However, when they came here and saw the scene in the river, many people gasped, suddenly felt that their legs were weak, and some of the stomachs with poor psychological quality churned, and if they hadn't eaten for a day, they probably vomited.
