In the face of Chen Zu, no matter what these people think in their hearts, they don't dare to have the slightest support, who doesn't know that Chen Zu hugged the thigh of Cai Jing, the left minister of the dynasty, in Beijing, don't look at Chen Zu is just a magistrate, but even the state officials who are Chen Zu's bosses dare not offend Chen Zu, who has a big backer.

That is, Chen Zu's own qualifications are not enough, otherwise, Chen Zu is afraid that he will have to operate and go to Suzhou Mansion or Hangzhou Mansion to take up a post, and such a prosperous place is a good place to really make money.

But now Chen Zu is also very happy in his heart, he is glad that he fortunately did not go to Suzhou Mansion or Hangzhou Mansion, otherwise he may have been stripped of his skin and cramped by those rebels at this time.

After sending away these invited gentry and wealthy households, Chen Zu motioned to his master to go and bring back the money from these wealthy gentry and wealthy families to the mansion.

However, it was said that at this time, Wu Meng left Chen Zu's mansion and returned to the camp, and several henchmen and generals in the camp naturally greeted him and looked at Wu Meng expectantly.

One of the big men looked at Wu Meng and said, "General, what did the magistrate say, when will the brothers' pension money be issued?" ”

"Yes, it's been three days, and the brothers are a little anxious."

"At the beginning, the magistrate promised that as long as the anti-thieves attacked the city, he would give a reward......

Saying that, a few people also subconsciously looked in the direction of the gate of the camp behind Wu Meng, as if they were looking to see if there was a cart loaded with silver coins behind Wu Meng.

However, there was nothing in the direction of the camp gate, and Wu Meng was also silent.

Sensing Wu Meng's same, even a few people realized that something was wrong no matter how slow they reacted, and one of them couldn't help but say: "General, could it be said that Chen Zhixian wanted to break his word?" ”

A young general sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that Chen Zhixian people send nicknames to death to ask for money, it's okay to send him money, if you want to deduct a copper coin from his hand, it's hard to climb to the sky, just like he said, it's okay to let him die, but if you want to move his money, don't think about it." ”

It's not that everyone doesn't know Chen Zu's character of asking for money, after all, Chen Zu's notoriety is known to everyone in Jiaxing City.

However, the reward was a promise made by Chen Zu in front of a group of soldiers, and everyone thought that even if Chen Zu asked for money no matter how much he died, he would not be unclear about the priorities, at least the reward would still be given.

But at this time, they realized that they overestimated Chen Zu and underestimated Chen Zu's desperate temperament.

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, a strong man was heard to say angrily: "Dog official, really dog official, we took our lives to fight against the anti-thief, he even dared to be greedy for silver, even so, what kind of strength do we have to fight, it is better to join those anti-thieves......"

Wu Meng couldn't help but scold when he heard this: "Enough, if this word spreads, it will be cut off ...... head."

Relying on his own prestige, Wu Meng suppressed the dissatisfaction in the hearts of several henchmen and generals, but Wu Meng's brows were always locked, and he could suppress the dissatisfaction of these henchmen, but he was not sure to suppress the dissatisfaction in the hearts of thousands of soldiers.

Sure enough, the news quickly spread in the army, and for a while, thousands of soldiers almost rioted directly, if Wu Meng hadn't been prepared, maybe there would have been groups of sergeants going to find Chen Zu's trouble.

Even so, it took Wu Meng a lot of words to barely suppress these soldiers who were dissatisfied with Chen Zu and even the imperial court.

These soldiers are the most simple, in their eyes, Chen Zu, as the magistrate of the county, represents the court and the Son of Heaven, and the reward promised by Chen Zu has not been issued, which means that the court and the Son of Heaven are untrustworthy.

That is, Wu Meng has always had a very high prestige in the army, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of chaos these soldiers will make.

The people sent by Chen Zu naturally noticed the movement in the military camp and reported it to Chen Zu as soon as possible.

With a snap, Chen Zu slammed a teacup on the ground, and roared with anger on his face: "Reckless, what a group of reckless people, they want to rebel?" ”

Outside Jiaxing City, tens of thousands of Manichaean rebels surrounded Jiaxing City, but although these rebels said that there were a lot of them, almost ninety percent of them were just chaotic people, and the real combat effectiveness was only thousands of Manichaean believers.

As Fang La's clan, although Fang Wu's strength is very ordinary, nepotism has always been like this, so Fang Wu has become the leader of this rebel army.

At this moment, Fang Wuzheng looked at Jiaxing City in front of him with considerable annoyance, Fang Wu thought that he would come to capture Jiaxing City for this time, but he never thought that he would attack several times without breaking it, how could this not make Fang Wu, who wanted to show his ability in front of Fang La, deeply annoyed.

However, the officers and soldiers defending the city dared to fight rarely, especially the commander of the official army, Wu Meng, was even more brave, and among the men and horses he brought, none of them were his opponents.

Just when Fang Wu was thinking about what method to use to break through Jiaxing City, suddenly smoke and dust could be seen billowing in the distance.

Seeing that scene, Fang Wu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, you must know that this is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, if the number of people is small, there will definitely be no such scene of smoke and dust.

"Could it be that the king was dissatisfied with my delay in attacking Jiaxing City, and specially sent others to attack Jiaxing City?"

Seeing the billowing smoke and dust, Fang Wu couldn't help but have such a guess in his heart.

However, Fang Wu didn't forget to send someone to check, it was just a cup of tea, and he saw several of Fang Wu's henchmen stumbling over with pale faces, and said to Fang Wu: "General, it's not good, it's not good, the official army is coming, the official army is coming, the official army is coming, ...... is coming."

Fang Wu suddenly got up, looked at his subordinates with a shocked face and shouted, "What officers and soldiers where did they come from?" ”

With the breaching of the city of Hangzhou, it can be said that the official army around Hangzhou has long been unable to form a scale, either huddled in the county town and relied on the city wall to support it, or was wiped out by the Manichaean army.

Now that his subordinates had told him that a large army of the imperial court was coming, Fang Wu was not surprised.

Looking at the sworn appearance of his henchmen, Fang Wu snorted coldly and said: "Pass my order, pick up the people, and go with General Ben to take a look, what kind of person is it, who is pretending to be a ghost and pretending to be an official soldier." ”

Anyway, from the bottom of his heart, Fang Wu didn't believe that the comer was an official soldier, but thought that someone else was pretending to be an official soldier.

Soon, surrounded by his subordinates, Fang Wu appeared in front of the large army formation, and behind Fang Wu was the rebels who were in a chaotic mess.

At first glance, the Manichaean rebels were outnumbered, but if you look closely, the rebels can only say that there is no order at all, and many of them are simply standing there in a disorderly manner, with no discipline at all, looking like a group of peasants with weapons and at a loss.

In front of the rebels, in the distance, there was a black oppressive army of officials, needless to say, this official army that could be regarded as a lone army penetrating into the south of the Yangtze River was none other than the imperial court counterinsurgency vanguard army led by Chu Yi.

Although Luda, who was dressed in military uniform, said that he was bareheaded, but the evil aura of his body, the military aura that naturally revealed it could not be clearer, and he knew at a glance that Luda was born in the military.

Just glanced at the other side, Luda said with disdain in his eyes: "What a group of rabble, that is, in this decaying land south of the Yangtze River, these rabble can threaten those officers and soldiers who can't lift swords and guns, if they are placed in the Western Army, any battalion of Western Army soldiers and horses can kill seven in and seven out of these rebels." ”

Lin Chong couldn't help but light up when he heard Lu Da's words: "Lu Tizhi, are the soldiers of the Western Army really so elite?" ”

Lu Da laughed and said: "I don't know what the soldiers under the command of the other generals are, but the soldiers under the old Xianggong are definitely the elite who can suppress the Western Xia people." ”

While speaking, someone on the other side shouted at them: "The general of my family is Lord Fang Wu, who are you, report your name." ”

However, it was Fang Wu who sent his subordinates to ask what the origin of Chu Yi and his party was.

Chu Yi glanced at Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi seemed to be groaning, his eyes lit up and said to Chu Yi: "Admiral, I thought of it, if this person is Fang Wu, then he is Fang La's clan brother, and he is deeply trusted by Fang La, but his own ability is much worse." ”

The intelligence ability of the East Factory may be much worse than that of the Imperial City Division that has been rooted in the world for more than 100 years, but if someone underestimates the intelligence ability of the East Factory, it is too underestimated to the East Factory.

Just looking at Yang Zhi's ability to think of the information about Fang Wu in this short period of time, it is enough to see the intelligence ability of the East Factory.

Chu Yi, who knew Fang Wu's information, showed a little smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at a few people, and said, "Who took Fang Wu for this governor!" ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits were immediately lifted, and they only heard Guan Sheng stroke his beard and say to Chu Yi: "Admiral, let me go." ”

Guan Sheng opened his mouth, but everyone didn't fight with Guan Sheng, Chu Yi nodded at Guan Sheng.

As soon as he got off the horse, Guan Sheng immediately rushed out, carrying a big knife in his hand, galloping over and shouting at Fang Wu and the others: "A certain family is the vanguard of the imperial court counterinsurgency, and Guan Sheng is also, Fang Wu, don't let this general get out and die." ”

Fang Wu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said loudly: "You really can't wait for the official army?" ”

Guan Sheng came on horseback, and rushed to the front in a very short time, the two sides were dozens of zhang apart, and Fang Wu had clearly seen Guan Sheng.

Seeing Guan Sheng's very martial appearance, Fang Wu's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost screamed: "Shoot, shoot him for me." ”

In the blink of an eye, I saw a rain of arrows shooting towards Guan Sheng, and there was a posture of stopping Guan Sheng with the rain of arrows.

However, Guan Sheng's cultivation was, the big knife in his hand swung violently, and suddenly there seemed to be only this piece of sword light left between heaven and earth, and the numerous arrows that were coming towards him fell to the ground with a thunderbolt on the spot.

With a step, the earth shook slightly, Guan Sheng ignored the swords, guns, swords, and halberds that were attacking him, and the talisman shook suddenly, and suddenly the group of anti-thieves who stopped in front of him were shocked and flew out one by one.

With Guan Sheng's cultivation, that is, a strong man who is also a celestial, it is possible to stop him. However, although Fang Wu's cultivation was the strongest among the rebels, there was no strong celestial and human powerhouse.

Fang Wu was just a great grandmaster's cultivation, at this moment, facing a celestial-level powerhouse, Guan Sheng was really like entering a no-man's land, and in the blink of an eye, he killed through the dozens of guards in front of Fang Wu, and directly killed in front of Fang Wu.

"Grab me!"

Seeing Guan Sheng's fan-like big hand grabbing towards Fang Wu, Fang Wu didn't have the strength to resist in the face of Guan Sheng's blow, and was caught by Guan Sheng on the spot.

After a few ups and downs, Guan Sheng took Fang Wu back to the side of the official army, and at this time the rebel side didn't even have time to react.

Guan Sheng saluted at Chu Yi and said, "Admiral, the last general will live up to his orders, Fang Wu is here." ”

Fang Wu was pushed in front of Chu Yi by Guan Sheng, and fell to his knees involuntarily with a pop, raising his head to see Chu Yi, but when he saw Chu Yi, Fang Wu was stunned for a moment, it was really Chu Yi who didn't look like a general who commanded the army at all, but a scribe with the spirit of a scholar.

Chu Yi looked at Fang Wu condescendingly, and slowly said in Fang Wu's stunned gaze, "Do you want to live?" ”

Fang Wu was captured by Guan Sheng, and he thought to himself that he would definitely die this time, and he already had the will to die in his heart, but Chu Yi's words suddenly made Fang Wu grasp the life-saving straw, and even said: "If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want me to surrender, you don't want to think." ”

Seeing that Fang Wu was obviously afraid in his heart, but he made a look of seeing death as if he were at home, Chu Yi just smiled and said, "This Governor wants you to bring a message to Fang La, he is willing to accept this Governor's recruitment!" ”

After saying this, Chu Yi pointed at Fang Wu's body to unlock the sealed acupuncture points on Fang Wu's body, and felt the power returning from his body, Fang Wu looked at Chu Yi with a puzzled expression.

Waving his hand, Chu Yi said with a rushing posture: "Don't forget what I said, if you can't bring it, next time this governor will take your life." ”

Fang Wu only saw that under the onslaught of the imperial army, his subordinates, who were obviously several times more than the imperial court soldiers and horses, were like a blank piece of paper, and they were broken with a slight stab.

Obviously, the number of rebels on the side was several times greater than that of the official army, but they were chased and killed by the official army, and as far as the eye could see, there were wailing, crying, and surrendering rebels everywhere.

As for the city of Jiaxing, the listless defenders on the city wall were startled by the changes below, although they had seen a group of men and horses approaching from a distance before, but because of the distance, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to believe that the people and horses who came would be the reinforcements of the imperial court, and more of the same as Fang Wu's previous thoughts, it was the rebels who came to attack Jiaxing.

However, at this moment, Wu Meng, who was standing on the city wall, and his generals all looked like hell at this moment, looking at the officers and soldiers who were chasing and killing the rebels.

A general was stunned and said, "No, I'm not mistaken, the tens of thousands of rebels outside the city were defeated!" ”

Although they dreamed of defeating these rebels, they also knew that they were only a few thousand men and horses, and they were able to hold Jiaxing because of the thickness of the city.

Wu Meng squinted his eyes even more, looking at the officers and soldiers who were chasing and killing the rebels, among which there were many flags, and the more flags Wu Meng saw were embroidered with a big Chu character.

"It's strange, when did there be an extra general surnamed Chu in the imperial court?"

If this is really a reinforcement from the imperial court, then the commander who can be sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River must not be an unknown person. However, Wu Meng found that he had never heard of a general surnamed Chu in the army.

Just when Wu Meng was thinking, one of his generals couldn't help but eagerly say to Wu Meng: "General, it's better to take the opportunity to kill out, everyone should work together to annihilate these rebels in one fell swoop." ”

Wu Meng bowed slightly: "Pass my general's order, send 3,000 men and horses, and go out of the city with this general." ”

Soon the city gate opened, and a team of men and horses under the leadership of Wu Meng came out of the city gate, chasing and killing the rebels while approaching in the direction where Shuai Qi was.

In the army, the location of the handsome banner is naturally the location of the commander of the first army, so Wu Meng came directly to the location of the handsome banner.

Just when Wu Meng approached Shuai Qi, suddenly a thunderous explosion came, and Wu Song was heard shouting: "Who is coming, the king of Guangyang County is here, and he should not come to see the driver quickly." ”

Wu Meng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and muttered to the king of Guangyang County, and suddenly, Wu Meng's eyes widened, and he looked at the very different figure under the handsome banner with a stunned expression.
