Lu Zhao led 1,500 troops up the river, at the Jiaotang ferry between Taihe County and Wan'an County.

The width of the Gan River was reduced by more than half at once, and Lu Zhao put 70 boats across the river, and then laid wooden planks on the boats to fix the hull, erected a pontoon bridge, and directly stopped the entire Gan River.

Since the news spread that the city of Ji'an was captured by the thieves, the cargo ships on the Gan River were empty for a while, and the merchants in southern and northern Jiangxi did not dare to transport goods at will, resulting in few ships on the Gan River.

Wan'an County, Jiang Wenyun, the magistrate of the county, did not dare to delay after receiving the distress letter from Taihe County, and immediately ordered 600 elite soldiers and sent his right-hand man He Shijie to lead him to support Taihe County.

Jiang Wenyun was born as a scholar, and Chongzhen had just taken up the post of good night magistrate in January of the eighth year, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately recruited troops and horses, and recruited hardcover township warriors to suppress bandits with 800 all-out efforts.

Wan'an is close to the southern Jiangxi region, where thieves and robbers are extremely rampant, Wan'an County is backed by fierce beasts, and it is a place where bandits and robbers loot all year round.

After Jiang Wenyun took office, it took only two months to sweep away the bandits in 18 villages and towns near Wan'an County, beheading more than 200 thieves and arresting more than 700 people.

For a while, the public security in Wan'an County was reversed in an instant, and the bandits in Southern Jiangxi were also intimidated by Jiang Wenyun's military might, and they fled to the Southern Jiangxi region one after another, not daring to go north to invade again.

After Jiang Wenyun received the news of Taihe County's request for help, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately sent troops to rescue.

Because he knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Once Taihe County is attacked by the rebels, then Wan'an will become an isolated city, with no soldiers to save and no danger to defend.

Jiang Wenyun is a person with first-class ability and good learning, if there is one stain in his life, it is that he did not resist when the Qing army went south, but directly chose to surrender.

However, that happened a few years later, and the current Ming Dynasty still has relatively high dominance over the world.

Jiang Wenyun was still a loyal minister loyal to the king at this time.

The anti-thieves in the north are vigorous, and the rogues in the south and Jiangxi are making trouble everywhere, and now Ji'an Mansion has been broken by the anti-thieves, if the anti-thieves take Taihe County again, then he Jiang Wenyun will really have to go to Chongzhen one step ahead of him to see the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in order to save his life, Jiang Wenyun immediately sent troops as soon as he received a letter of help from Taihe County.

The six hundred elite soldiers under his command poured out of the nest and slipped down the Gan River directly by water.

In addition, he himself also posted a notice in the county seat, and found the major squires of Wan'an, asking everyone to contribute money and grain, immediately raise 2,000 villagers, and immediately go to Taihe County to support.

When the squires and landlords of Wan'an heard that they were going to pay for food again, they immediately quit.

In the county office, the squires raised objections one after another.

A landlord took the lead and said: "Lord Jiang, two months ago, we have already subscribed to the silver grain for the bandits, but my family has produced 200 stone of grain and 500 taels of silver, why is it that less than two months have passed now, and we squires are asking us squires to donate grain and money?" ”

When the other squires and landlords heard this, they also expressed their incomprehension one after another, and began to exchange ears.

Jiang Wenyun saw that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately pressed down with his hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet." ”

It took a long time for the squires to finish talking to each other.

"I, Jiang Wenyun, have never dared to rest for a moment since I took office in Wan'an Zhi County, and what I think about every day is how to exterminate the rogues and how to sweep away the traitors.

Ladies and gentlemen, since I took office, within two months, I have swept away more than 30 bandits and more than 200 beheadings around Wan'an. ”

The squires nodded when they heard this.

"What Lord Jiang said is true, we are all grateful for Lord Jiang's kindness!" A squire stood up and said a fair word.

Jiang Wenyun saw that his words were effective, and then said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today the Yuanzhou Mo thief has led thousands of troops to capture our city of Luling, the prefect Xu has been martyred, and now the Mo thief has entered Taihe, and the county seat of Taihe is only one or two hundred defenders, and now Wu Wenying, the county governor of Taihe, is organizing Qingzhuang to defend the city, but the strength is very different, if we don't save it, the attack of Taihe County is just a matter of time."

Once Taihe County is taken by the anti-thieves, then our Wan'an will have to directly bear the peak of the anti-thieves.

I have heard that the Mo thief in Yuanzhou is not a good person to get along with, and the first thing he does when he goes to a place is to forcibly collect the land money and grain from the local squire and landlord's family, and then distribute the land to the landless people.

Let's not hurry up and organize people to save Taihe now, and when the Mo thief captures Taihe's soldiers and comes to the city, you won't even have a chance to regret it! ”

The squires and landlords had already heard about the anti-thief Mo Qian, and now when they heard that he was going to call, they immediately panicked one by one.

"Master Jiang, I am willing to become a monk fifty times, two hundred stones for rice, and three hundred taels of silver!" A large landowner dressed in ayara stepped forward.

"Okay, since Zhang Yuanwai is willing to pay money and grain, then I Liang can't help but come out, I am a monk with thirty slaves, one hundred stones of rice, and two hundred taels of silver!"

"I'm out too...."

After Jiang Wenyun saw this, he immediately arranged for all the documents to be recorded and recited in public, for fear that these landlords would regret it.

Back in the back hall of the Yamen, the scribe stepped forward and said to Jiang Wenyun: "Congratulations, my lord, Xiangyong's money and food have been settled!" ”

Jiang Wenyun said with a smile: "These squire landlords, they are really unwilling to contribute to the end of their lives, if it weren't for the reputation of the Mo thief who is too stinky among the landlords, I am afraid that these squire landlords will not pay this money today." ”

"That's natural, these people, all of them are dying a group of short-sighted people, and if they don't die, they don't know what it means to be cold."

"Hmph, don't care about them, you immediately arrange for people to post notices all over the county, just say that the county government recruits village warriors, each person does two meals a day, and gives half a penny of silver a month."

"Yes!"

As soon as Jiang Wenyun's notice was posted, it immediately attracted thousands of peasants.

These are some people who have no land to plant, the clanging of the poor at home, the county magistrate recruits soldiers, not to mention the two meals, and pays half a penny of silver a month, which is really a good thing that can't be found with a lantern.

In less than half a day's effort, 2,000 villagers were raised, and Jiang Wenyun was not stingy, opening the armory of the Wan'an County Ya and distributing weapons to these people.

With the equipment in hand, the two thousand men and horses also became presentable.

However, at this time, the six hundred elite soldiers who set out in advance were only three miles away from the place where Lu Zhao intercepted.
