Cen Wei's soldiers and horses came and went quickly.

Not for a while.

This group of well-trained soldiers and horses in the green forest had disappeared into the vast night.

Wait until everyone is gone.

Cao Yanshou sighed, and then led the army away, straight into the city of Caozhou, resting the soldiers and horses on the one hand, and repairing the writing into official documents and sending them to Dengzhou.

……

Yang Lin's side.

Read Cao Yanshou's letters.

He frowned slightly, and muttered, "Strange...... These thieves are aiming to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and we are waiting to come back in a hurry, they should be more anxious to save their comrades, but why did they retreat rashly? ”

Come to think of it.

Wang Ke handed over a military report again.

This military report was sent by Huang Congyi from Laizhou City.

The military newspaper said that after Huang Congyi's army returned to Laizhou, the thieves who held all the key roads in Laizhou retreated one after another.

Seeing this.

Huang Congyi suddenly felt very weird.

Thereupon.

He also repaired a book and sent it to Yang Lin, the capital of Dengzhou.

"Shhh...... As soon as I returned, the three thieves in Dengzhou Mansion, Caozhou, and Laizhou withdrew at the same time. ”

Holding the military newspaper sent by Huang Congyi.

Yang Lin frowned, and he was uncertain.

"Report ......"

But.

Just as Yang Lin was thinking hard.

But I saw that outside Dengzhou City, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately sat a strong man with a strong figure, until Yang Lin was in front of him, turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Wang Jia, and reported loudly: "Qiyu backer prince, Jinan Mansion Tang Bi and Xu Youde have official documents delivered."

"Jinan Mansion? Isn't it true that something happened in Licheng County? ”

When Yang Lin heard this, a hint of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart.

Immediately.

He took the letter and opened it to check it, but saw that it read: "Three days ago, there was a big rebellion against Shandong, slaughtering officials and soldiers, robbing money and grain, killing more than 10,000 people, injuring countless people, and burning more than 20,000 houses...... In addition, the ringing horses are resting in the thirteen Taibao mansions, and the ringing horses are all friends of the thirteen Taibao. ”

Yang Lin was taken aback when he read the letter, and he froze in place, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Yang Daoyuan, who was on the side, hurriedly asked, "Father, what happened?"

Yang Lin sighed, and then handed the letter sent by Tang Bi and Xu Youde of Jinan Mansion to his son.

Yang Daoyuan took the letter, read it quickly, and was trembling with anger, and said, "That's it!" Father, this is all Qin Qiong's knowledge, it is better to summon him and kill him with a knife! ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know if this matter is true or not...... That Qin Qiong used to be a banner under Tang Bi, and Tang Bi saw that King Gu had succeeded Qin Qiong as his son, and he must have been a little unconvinced...... Now, when Xiangma turned against Shandong, he was afraid that the Lone King would be blamed, but he wrote my Wang Er on the swindle and tried to defraud the Lone King...... Therefore, King Gu asked Qin Qiong to confront him face to face and return his innocence. ”

Speaking of which.

Yang Lin's eyes fell on the strong man who delivered the letter and asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied, "The last general is Shangyi, the general of Jinan Mansion!"

Yang Lin said: "Since you are a general of Jinan Mansion, you must be very familiar with Qin Qiong...... In this way, you go with the arrow of the lonely king, and pass on Qin Qiong's starry night to Dengzhou to reply! ”

When Shang Yi heard this, he arched his hand and said, "The last general will take the order!"

Afterwards.

Yang Lin took a Ling arrow and gave it to Shang Yi.

Shang Yi took the arrow, rode a Sichuan horse, and went straight to Licheng County.

After Shang Yi leaves.

Yang Lin returned to the palace and sat down.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't rest assured that the partial general named Shangyi was called, so he asked Yang Daoyuan to invite Wang Ke to come.

"The last general, Wang Ke, has seen the king of the backers!"

Not for a while.

The Marquis of Dingbei, Wang Ke, dressed neatly, came to the palace of the backer, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Yang Lin.

Yang Lin said: "Dingbei Hou, King Gu is ready to send you to Licheng County, are you willing?"

Wang Ke asked, "But do you want the last general to go and capture Qin Qiong?"

Yang Lin said: "That Qin Qiong is the son of the lonely king, if he is a gang of thieves, he will be captured and killed on the spot, if he is not a gang of thieves, then Tang Bi and Xu Youde are framed, and the two of them will be captured and killed!"

"Lord Wang, this matter is said lightly, Tang Bi and Xu Youde are officials of the imperial court, how can the last general be killed at will?"

Wang Ke frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously.

Yang Lin said: "King Gu has his own document here to reply to Your Majesty, you don't have to scruple about this matter."

Wang Ke nodded and said, "That's it!" The last general is commanded! ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and immediately said, "That's fine...... However, Dingbei Hou, you once defeated the green forest thieves in the north, and the people in the green forest have a deep hatred for you, so be careful! ”

When Wang Ke heard this, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the prince will know!"

Let's talk about it.

He saluted Yang Lin again, then turned to leave.

After leaving Yang Lin.

Yang Lin went straight back to his camp.

Just sat down in the tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Ke summoned Guo Xiaoke, Mai Tiezhu, Su Dingfang, Zhang Hu, Shi Zhaowu and several generals under his command to come to the tent together.

"Meet the General!"

Not much.

When they came to the tent, they bowed their hands and said.

"Excuse me!"

Wang Ke waved his hand lightly and said to everyone.

"I don't know what the Lord has summoned me to, what's the matter?"

After Su Dingfang finished saluting, he immediately asked.

Wang Ke said; "The king of the backer just said, let me go to Licheng County to chase and kill the thieves, I wonder if you can prepare properly?"

"Hunt down thieves?"

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"Not bad...... Hunt down the thieves...... However, what kind of chasing and killing method, you still need to add staff and staff officers. ”

Wang Ke seemed to be smiling, looked at Guo Xiaoke, and said.

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he also relieved himself, nodded, and took a few steps back.

Speaking of which.

Wang Ke looked at everyone again and said, "So, how to deal with this situation, please work together to find a way......

When Su Dingfang heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "Lord, I don't know when we will leave?"

Wang Ke said: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed...... Just wait for a letter to arrive, and then you can wave westward. ”

Su Dingfang said: "The green forest heroes have a lot of connections with us, and we really need good staff officers, so it's better to send a team of soldiers and horses to investigate, and then make a decision after investigating the situation."

Wang Ke said: "So, what about inquiring about the situation, and leave it to that person?"

"My lord, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to Licheng County to inquire about the situation."

Really.

Just as Wang Ke's words fell.

But among the generals, a sturdy general stepped forward and gave his hand to ask for orders.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look - it turned out that this person was none other than Su Dingfang's deputy Zhang Hu!
