Last time, Zhuang Rou met and killed Yang Rong, and found the same way to the guard, and found a few convenient places to ambush.

In order not to alarm the rebels, she went all the way to the mountains and forests, and sometimes saw that no one would run out to walk the official road.

It's also a shame that the people have been hiding at home for the past few days, and they don't dare to go out for nothing, so they don't have to worry about someone reporting her.

If he encounters a rebel army, Zhuang Rou can also solve it without letting go.

When she arrived at the familiar ambush point, she could see the grain team coming here from a distance, it was so far away from He'an Town, and if she robbed the grain here, it would not affect the people over there.

Zhuang Rou grabbed the crossbow and prepared to shoot all the soldiers immobilized, so that he could burn food with confidence.

Just as she was waiting for the grain team to reach the most convenient place to use the crossbow, suddenly a large number of horses' hooves were heard, she stopped, turned her head to look into the distance, and saw a team of men and horses on the official road with no tail visible.

At the forefront, there is a man who looks like a general in silver armor, and there is a man of letters beside him, holding a feather fan, the favorite ornament of the strategists.

Behind the two were two sturdy lieutenants, dressed in armor, one holding a spear and the other carrying a broadsword, riding on horses more majestic than the people in front.

The generals who couldn't see the tail at a glance were neatly arranged, and the flag bearer was holding a large flag with a big Zhou character on it. The flag next to it has a dragon character written on it, which looks very weird.

"Where did this soldier come from?" Zhuang Rou was a little puzzled, looking at the flag, it seemed that it was someone sent by the imperial court, representing the emperor's personal soldier surnamed Zhou.

But where did such a pro-soldier come from Hongzhou, not to mention that it didn't look like he came in all the way, but swaggered in.

Zhuang Rou didn't do anything again for the time being, and when he saw the grain cart, he slowed down, and sent someone to inquire, and then ignored them after he returned.

On the contrary, the soldiers who delivered the food were a little nervous, and they all stopped, and stood on the side of the road to watch the long army pass by.

"Uncle Song, this Hongzhou is really not a good place, not even a prosperous big city. If Hongzhou City is trapped for a few more days, it will be able to be defeated, and my father sent me here because he was a little dissatisfied with this king, and he deliberately wanted to beat me. The man in silver armor and red cloak said dissatisfiedly to the literati beside him.

Song Mingqiu hurriedly persuaded: "King of the county, the prince definitely didn't mean that." Several county kings are the most capable county kings, and when Zhou Kun is overthrown, the crown prince's position must be the county king's. ”

Zhou Long snorted coldly, "The position of the crown prince? My father probably wants to directly make Zhou Qi the emperor, he will be a regent, whose prince is this king? ”

"The king of the county, this matter may just stabilize the hearts of those ministers in the court. Even if Zhou Qi became the emperor that day, how many years could he sit? Song Mingqiu said without thinking.

"The king of the county is now the first to conquer Hongzhou, although it is not rich, but there is an iron mine. Located in the river, the lower Jiangnan commercial land and the upper capital city have to pass through here, and after occupying it, it becomes the fief of the county king, which will take a big advantage. ”

Zhou Long frowned, "If it weren't for that iron mine, I would have wanted to go straight to the capital and pull Zhou Kun's little boy off the throne." ”

Knowing that he was a domineering temper, Song Mingqiu said: "The county king, the army of several other county kings, but they all have to point to the prince to give armaments." But we can be self-sufficient, and after training all the displaced people, we will be men. ”

"What Mr. Song said is that there is no one to farm in the winter, and when we get to the guard, let them go out and forcibly recruit all the young and middle-aged into the army. My 3,000 men and horses plus the soldiers here will give me 100,000 horses. Zhou Long said with a big mouth.

Song Mingqiu replied with a smile, but he knew very well in his heart that the people and horses of the homeless people and the guards were returned to the king of the county, and there were more than 30,000 horses in total. If you want to expand to 100,000 troops, you have to recruit 80,000 strong men.

And Hongzhou is not a rich place, and when the government examines the school rating, it is not

Pass the district under the government.

This is the most inferior state capital, so it is estimated that in the entire 23 counties of Hongzhou, the largest county does not exceed 30,000 people, and the small county has a maximum of a few thousand people.

There are no more than 300,000 people in Hongzhou, which is both old and young, men and women, and it is not easy to pick out 80,000 strong men.

But he won't pour cold water on him, and follow Zhou Long out to make military merits, so he naturally has a plan to find a good future for himself.

If he becomes an emperor in the future, he will be able to do something like a book.

Thinking of this, Song Mingqiu said: "King of the county, the matter of Zhuangding will definitely be arranged, but what if there is a grievance from the people?" ”

"This king is also fighting for their sake, and there are people who want to oppose it? Whoever has a grudge will slaughter whom, if the king's major affairs are ruined, one person will have a grudge and slaughter ten surrounding households. "Zhou Long is not a good person, and he firmly believes that there is no woman's kindness on the battlefield, and the people should make the necessary sacrifices.

With his words, Song Mingqiu was reassured, anyway, in the future, Secretary Shi will make a stroke, and the name of a small person like himself will not appear, "The king of the county, his subordinates must be good about this." ”

Zhou Long's mood because of the unhappiness of the throne has eased a little now, nodded and said: "I don't have to worry about Mr. Song's affairs, I will sit on the dragon chair on his day, and I will rely on Mr. Song to support me." ”

This is his true words, this Song Mingqiu is more than twenty years older than him, and he came to teach him when he was only three years old, and he is completely the one who watched him grow up.

Most of what Zhou Long did was for Song Mingqiu to come up with ideas, and he was able to do things without punishment, which made him the best reputation among the sons born after King Nioh fled.

When he became an emperor in the future, he was surrounded by such loyal and thoughtful people, and although Song Mingqiu was a staff member, he was even closer to him. The only person Zhou Long can trust, and the one who can rest assured that he will do anything is this Song Mingqiu.

Song Mingqiu was originally just to eat with a mouthful, but now it is different from the past, he also has ambitions and wants to soar. What we have to do now is to help the king of the county gain a firm foothold in Hongzhou, so that he can seize the throne in the future.

They rode leisurely past the grain cart and led thousands of elite soldiers behind them to the guard.

Zhuang Rou watched the team get closer and closer with an expressionless face, her eyes fell on Zhou Long, the so-called thief captures the king first, and it is better to kill this guy first than to burn the grain truck.

But it was a little difficult, this man's armor was a little thick, and he still had a helmet on his head, and an arrow from a distance could not kill him.

Those two imposing lieutenants seemed to have some ability, and if she couldn't kill this person in one blow, she would not only miss, but also be entangled.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Rou moved his gaze to Song Mingqiu, this person had no armor and a cloth coat, and he was accompanying the leader of the people, he should be a military adviser.

Of these four people, this person is the most likely to be killed, and it is not known if he is an important person.

But she thought about it, no matter how important it was, killing this person would frighten the leader next to him, keeping him awake at night for fear that he would be assassinated, and not sleeping well could affect his decision-making to some extent.

The corners of Zhuang Rou's mouth curled up and smiled slightly, and she raised her crossbow and aimed it at Song Mingqiu, waiting for them to get closer a little bit.

"Mr. Song, when the capital is conquered this time, I want to take Miss Song San as a concubine, what do you think?" Zhou Long said with a smile, using marriage to win people's hearts is a common technique used by powerful people, anyway, Song Mingqiu's youngest daughter is also pure and lovely.

Song Mingqiu was unwilling, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to respond, "King of the county, this is a happy ......"

Sou!

Before he could finish speaking, a crossbow bolt burst through the air, and with a single thud it shot through his temple, directly into the feather.

Song Mingqiu looked at Zhou Long blankly, his body fell backwards, and he fell directly from the horse and died of anger.

Zhuang Rou immediately turned around and burrowed into the mountain forest and bushes, and quickly retreated from the ambush, and Zhou Long's angry roar came from behind him.
