Chapter 1362 - Lost and Drowned

Chang Yu really guessed this correctly.

As early as a few months ago, when Bai Wang led his troops out of the mountain, the original purpose was just to respond to Li Zicheng's eastern expedition and take the opportunity to join him, after all, you are all in Xi'an and called the king and emperor, and you still threw me into this mountain to drill caves, what is the matter!

To put it bluntly, Bai Wang at that time did not plan to open up his own world in the Yangtze River Valley, and heard that Li Zicheng's eastern expedition was like a bamboo, and he just wanted to hurry up and follow the food and spicy food, so after going out of the mountain, he captured a city and looted the rich gentry, and then continued to go north without leaving troops to defend, until he found that it was so easy to break Pengze and Wangjiang County, and then he bred the idea of opening up the world, so he sent some people back to the towns, but there were not more than 100 people.

After it broke Anqing, the idea of dividing the land for the king was also more profound, and he continued to expand the territory outward in the spirit of good management, and at the same time consolidated the existing territory in his hands, and did not plunder or disturb the hearts of the people in the jurisdiction...... Moreover, most of them occurred in the Chizhou area, and did not affect the area west of Anqing, and the people here still lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of the thief army, and they knew nothing about the affairs in the east.

And because Bai Wang's defeat in Chizhou was too fast, the news of his defeat has not yet arrived, and there will be no one to inform him, after all, there are all small shrimps here.

In short, the thief army here is still in the dark, but compared to the common people, they are not ignorant, at least they know that the city of Anqing on the other side of the Yangtze River, more than 100 miles away, is surrounded by officers and soldiers.

But they are not worried at all, after all, they are more than 100 miles away and on the other side of the Yangtze River, and this side is very safe, I heard that Bai Dashuai personally led his troops to fight Nanjing, if Nanjing is defeated, those officers and soldiers who surrounded Anqing must not hurry up and roll with their buttocks.

Besides, even if Bai Dashuai didn't take Nanjing, what could those officers and soldiers besieging the city do? Could it be that they can still break the city, just by them? Bah!

The war in the east is raging, the years in the west are quiet, and the people are no different from the past under the governance of the puppet regime, but the county lords in the city have lost their former spirits, and they have to nod their heads when they meet the rebels in the city.

Dongliu County is a small county seat, facing the river in the north, and outside the east and west cities are hills, water, marshes, like a lonely city on an isolated island, and there are more than a dozen large and small villages between the surrounding hills.

Although the county seat is small, there are four city gates, the ridiculous thing is that three city gates are near the water, if you want to enter and exit, you can only enter through the east gate, which is also the only city gate with a thief army on duty.

In the afternoon, the sky was dripping and dripping, and several thieves guarding the city gate at the east gate were hiding in the door hole and were blackmailing a common man who had entered the city.

"What kind of stinky fart, let's drink tea and listen to music with Nazhi County in the yamen" The gate thief army shouted but was also curious to walk out of the city gate and look at the city, and saw a cavalry coming slowly hundreds of meters away, and for a while I couldn't tell who it was, but it was definitely my own person.

Soon the dozens of horsemen arrived at the gate of the city, and the guards arched their hands: "Where's the brother?" ”

"General Wang's subordinates in the royal body were ordered to go back to Hukou County on an errand, passing by to avoid the rain," the leader said and arched his hand: "Which is the head of the mountain here?" ”

"Hey, we are listening to the messenger under the king of Hades," the guard said and beckoned them into the city, and raised his hand to point at Li Muxian: "This Taoist chief, you are Wang Zamao's person."

Li Muxian was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

"Hehe, I heard that there is a Taoist priest next to Wang Zamao who can pinch and calculate, and the Taoist chief will turn around and help me calculate."

"Forget it, you can't live today" Li Muxian's hand flashed as he spoke, and a short knife flew right into the throat of the thief army, but the thief was shocked but couldn't react to be directly cut down by the guards, and captured two live mouths and asked: "How many people are in the city?" ”

"More than thirty, our head is a one-eyed dragon living in the county ya......" The two live mouths explained very quickly and very clearly, the situation is tough, Chen Suole, Chen Ruxin immediately led his troops to divide into three roads, one to the county ya, one to the barracks, and one to the city.

Chang Yu and a few relatives rode into the city, slowly walking around the street, the people in the city scattered and hid, looking at them, their expressions were full of fear, and there were faint shouts and cheers in the distance, one after another, and soon the whole town was full of chickens and dogs.

Although the bandit army in the city was paralyzed, it was very scattered, and some people did not react and were hunted and killed by the guards, so they were alarmed and took the opportunity to flee, stirring up a miasma of smoke in the city.

"North Gate, that one-eyed dragon looked at the north gate and escaped" The person who was in charge of going to the county office to hunt and kill the thief leader was careless and let him escape, and then shouted to his subordinates to chase him.

"Outside the north gate is the Yangtze River, which is not far from the dog's day......" The guards looked at the embarrassed figure of the one-eyed dragon and sneered, but they were dumbfounded when they chased them out of the city.

Outside the north gate of the city is the Yangtze River, but it is also a ferry, the heart of the river has a state, the one-eyed dragon and a few thieves are crossing the river in a boat, he fled far away, Zhang Gong shot a few people to kill, and the boat slowly drifted away with the waves.

Chang Yu also passed through the city at this time, and arrived at the north gate of the river, looking at the river surging and feeling relaxed, and seeing that Jiangxin Prefecture was full of crops and there were people working in the fields, there was a smile on his face.

Chen Ruxin escorted an old man in his fifties behind Chang Yu: "Duke, the county lord of the thief."

"My lord, Xiaguan is not the county lord of the thief, Xiaguan Hu Liangji is the official of the imperial court, the magistrate of Dongliu County!" The little old man just saw a group of people rushing into the county government and used a knife to kill people, and he was stupid at that time, thinking that it was a thief army fighting, at this time, I heard these people call the young man the governor, and I knew that one or two pouts knelt down: "The lower official was coerced by the thieves and endured humiliation and burdened ......"

Chang Yu turned around and looked at the little old man kneeling on the ground and smiled: "Oh, it turns out that you are an official of the imperial court, so you are a thief who sacrifices the city?" ”

"Xiaguan is a last resort to save the people" Hu Liangji wailed on the ground, Chang Yu sighed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then gently patted him on the shoulder: "Hu Liangji, the magistrate of Dongliu County, lost his footing and drowned."

Hu Liangji sighed, and before he could react, he was pushed to the river by several guards and kicked down, and the river was turbulent, and he struggled a few times before he could see a figure.

Li Muxian shook his head: "What if his essence water survives?" ”

"Then even if he dies," Chang Yu sneered, this river is so turbulent, there is little chance that an old man who is fifty or sixty years old and walks unsteadily can survive.

"The bones of civil officials are too soft!" Wu Zhong stood by the river and couldn't help but spit, Chang Yu snorted: "Don't talk about wild boars, crows, civil officials are not as soft as military generals!" ”

A surprise attack, less than half an hour Dongliu County changed hands again, which is normal in Chang Yu's opinion, but for the people in the city is a big thing, everyone rushed to tell each other, the streets and alleys talked endlessly, the surviving rich gentlemen in the city heard the news and ran outside the north gate to meet the officials of the orthodox court.

But it's a young man!

But the identity of the teenager is extraordinary, the admiral of the Ming East Detective Factory, and the fear of many civil and military generals exists.

But the young man didn't have much to offer, chatted with these squires for a long time, informed them of the current situation, and learned that Bai Wang had fled into the mountains in a rout, and that the recovery of Anqing was just around the corner, and the squires were very excited and set up a banquet to entertain Chang Yu and his subordinates.

At this time, the situation brought a bad news, he found that there were at least six or seven fish that had escaped the net, and the direction of escape was unknown, which means that although they were able to raid Dongliu County successfully, the next local thief army was very likely to be prepared.

It's careless, it's too careless, I should have closed the city gate before I started it just now.

Search, Chang Yu ordered all the guards to go out of the city, as much as possible to arrest them, but the result was disappointing, the surrounding hills and undulating waters around Dongliu County are densely searched, there are mountains, forests and bushes to hide people, it is really difficult to find a few people, and nothing is found for several miles.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
