The rain is still falling, Jiang Yitao's head was hung under the south gate of the city to show the public, but there are no ordinary people to watch, after some tossing just now, the people are now nesting at home who dares to come out to see the excitement, not to mention that it is still raining heavily.

More than sixty captives were locked up in the cells of the county government, and several cells were stuffed to wait for Chang Yu's departure, which also became Chang Yu's difficulty.

However, he was not in a hurry to deal with them immediately, and first imprisoned these prisoners, leaving only two guards to guard them, and these two guards only locked the cell door with iron chains and said, "If one of them leaves this prison gate, you will all be executed," and then lay down on the ground outside and fell asleep, not worrying at all that these thieves would escape.

Such carelessness is not their deliberate dereliction of duty, but Chang Yu's order, everyone immediately rests! You don't need to be on duty or on shift.

Is it Chang Yu's carelessness?

Of course not, he just felt too sorry for these guards, and in just two days, he traveled hundreds of miles in the rain to capture two cities in a row, and he was already exhausted after a sleepless night.

The captives were already frightened, not to mention whether they could break the chains on the prison door, and even if they could, who would dare to flee without knowing what was going on outside.

As for the city defense, at this time, the thieves killed the prisoners and the three city gates have been sealed, so there is no chaos, not to mention that there are more than ten guards who sleep with knives in the door hole of the west city gate.

It's really that everyone went to rest, except for the dozen or so guards in the Xicheng Gate Cave, the rest of them all found a room in the county ya, got in, took off their clothes and hung them on the ground, and fell asleep, including Chen Sole, Chen Ruxin, and Guo Ren all slept, and Chang Yu sat in the lobby alone, drinking tea and watching the heavy rain outside.

Oh, and there were two more people, the salt seller and the wrongdoer, who were leaning against the corner of the wall under the eaves of the porch at the entrance of the lobby, looking up at the sky, neither of them spoke, but their stomachs were growling.

"It's almost noon," Chang Yu walked to the door, and the two of them rubbed and occupied: "Official...... Governor, Governor, Governor...... Lord, it's almost noon" The salt dealer didn't know what to call it for a while, and Chang Yu, who heard it, rolled his eyes: "You either call an adult or an official, don't, don't, don't call it a princess."

"Yes, yes, the little one knows" The salt seller hurriedly said, "My lord, the little one will go to the back kitchen and get you something to eat?" ”

"Your dirty hands are sick to your stomach when you look at it, and the food you make can't be eaten by the governor" Chang Yu pursed the corners of his mouth: "There are women in the backyard, you go and ask them to open a table of wine and food, and the governor wants to invite guests to eat" The salt seller answered and was about to run to the backyard, Chang Yu told again: "Just call at the door, don't go in."

After a while, the salt seller hurried back: "The little one has explained, what else do you have to tell the adult?" ”

"Yes, you two go outside to inquire about who is the most respected in the city, but there are still living squires, go and invite them, just say that the governor invited them to lunch, but don't mention the identity of the governor" Chang Yu explained a few words, and the two hurried away.

Chang Yu stayed in the lobby for a while and felt bored, so he went to check the injuries of Chen Wangting and several people, and saw that they were all asleep, so he touched his forehead one by one to see if he had a fever, and the twelve people who participated in the battle, including him, each suffered more than a dozen knife wounds, even if they were seriously injured in later generations, but the medical level in these years could not be compared with later generations, although Chang Yu had no fatal injuries in his investigation, but the most worrying thing was that they had a fever, and once they had a fever, it meant that the wound was infected, which was more tricky.

After trying them one by one, everyone did not have a fever, so they were a little relieved, as for himself, he was gifted, as long as he didn't chop off his head, under normal circumstances, no matter how serious the injury was, it would heal automatically, for example, the wound on his body was no longer painful.

After inspecting the wounded, he still didn't see the wronged boss and the salt dealer come back, so Chang Yu went to the back kitchen, and several women inside looked panicked and full of curiosity when they saw him.

"Were you originally the female dependents of the county government or were you robbed by thieves?" Chang Yu looked around and saw that the skills of several women were not bad, and the food was fragrant.

Several women whispered back to him, some were originally female dependents, and two were plundered folk girls but not from the city, and a slightly more courageous woman asked curiously: "Little brother, you became a soldier at a young age."

"The family is poor, and the soldiers eat at home" Chang Yu smiled, several women saw that he was kind and had the courage to ask him for some news, Chang Yu had no scruples to talk to a few people, and when he heard a voice in the front hall, he took a knife and left, and the female relatives behind him looked at his figure and whispered: "Like a general...... You see that he is wounded, and he must be very brave in battle."

The salt dealer and the unjust boss ran all over the city to find seven people, an old man in his sixties said that he was a master and had a great prestige in the city, and the remaining six were middle-aged people, who had survived the squires in the city, and some of them had not yet healed.

These people didn't know Chang Yu's identity, but when they heard that it was an officer and soldier, they called him a little general.

Chang Yu invited these people to the banquet to appease the people, and the officials in the city were killed by the thieves after he stayed in this small city for a while, and it was impossible for the court to appoint officials to come over for a while, so he had to find a reputable person to take care of it.

When these people heard that the imperial court had sent troops south, they had recovered the lost territory all the way from Nanjing and the main force of the thief army had been defeated in Anqing, and they wept excitedly one by one.

Chang Yu actually didn't like to deal with these people, but he had to be patient to talk to them about some of the things they didn't have, and said that the recent achievements of the officers and soldiers made their blood boil, while the wronged boss and the salt dealer were busy pouring wine and passing food next to them. Yunxuan Pavilion

100 miles away.

On the bank of the East River in Anqing City, Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the river in a daze, the rain here had stopped since the morning, but from the surging river, he knew that it was still raining upstream.

"General, Liu Zeqing is here" The soldiers beside him interrupted Li Yan's contemplation in a low voice, and turned his head to see Liu Zeqing hurriedly walking over: "General Li, I will launch another main attack tomorrow, if I don't break the city, I am willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”

Li Yan smiled: "Our lost soldiers have lost their generals twice, how can General Liu's confidence be broken tomorrow, his General Liu has already attacked twice, if this is the case again, I am afraid that the rest of the people will not be convinced."

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if they are convinced, Lao Tzu has attacked twice in a row, and many people can't make wedding dresses for others, and tomorrow will launch a general attack, this main attack point must be given to me!" Liu Zeqing's face darkened as he spoke, and Li Yan shook his head with a wry smile and looked at An Qingcheng: "Maybe the thief army surrendered before tomorrow."

"Do you think it's possible, tomorrow before dark is the limit of three days, the thieves have not moved so far, and people are determined to resist to the end" Liu Zeqing said and raised his hand to point to the high pole in the distance, and there was a human head hanging on it: "It doesn't work for you to use that dead man's head to pretend to be Bai Wang, and the thieves in this city are determined to go all the way to the dark."

"Tomorrow is the limit of three days when it gets dark, and it's still too early to draw conclusions about whether it will work" Li Yan still looked light, and when it rained that night, Chang Yu launched an attack on the other side, which was more ruthless than the first time, and put down the words: It will not fall within three days, and there will be no prisoners after the city is broken. And at dawn, the pole hung his head, and Bai Wang, who shot into the city, said that Bai Wang had been awarded the head, and persuaded the thief army to surrender.

"Okay, then I'll put the ugly words here first, if the thief army surrenders, then it's okay, if you don't surrender, the main attack must be me, otherwise I will definitely not accept it, and I won't be afraid to sue the overseer! It is impossible for me to kill and injure countless brothers and set up a platform for others at a critical moment, it is impossible! After Liu Zeqing finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily, Huang Degong was walking leisurely in the distance, and saw Liu Zeqing's mouth cracked, "What's the matter, Li Yan let you attack again, look at you angry, hey, Li Yan is really not authentic in this matter, if I let me lose troops in three consecutive main attacks, I will also be on fire."

"Let you go P" Liu Zeqing snorted: "If he doesn't let Lao Tzu fight for the third time, then he will get angry, Huang Chuangzi, don't gloat at that time, if this main attack falls on my head, Lao Tzu will definitely not do it on other heads, and you can't do it!" ”

"What's the matter, you still can't bite Lao Tzu's eggs" Huang Degong rolled his eyes, Liu Zeqing knew that he was very mixed, so he stopped talking to him and scolded him and left.

"You won't also come to ask for war" Li Yan turned his back to Huang Degong and looked at Jiang Shui with a wry smile and shook his head, who knew that Huang Degong's mouth was pouting: "It's a thankless thing for Lao Tzu to be so stunned, let them fight."

This made Li Yan very surprised: "Why don't you please me, after breaking the city, the main attack department is the first achievement, didn't you still shout about the main attack the day before yesterday, why are you not interested now?" ”

"There are more wolves and less meat, and this meat is not very suitable for my taste" Huang Degong heaved and turned his head to look at Anqing City: "The city is high and the walls are thick, and there are no big guys, and the losses are too big to lose under the hard attack, and one carelessness can defeat the team, but how big can this city-breaking work be, and can it still be a lord?" ”

Li Yan laughed: "The person who co-authored this uncle is atmospheric, and his vision is also very different!" ”

"You don't squeeze me" Huang Degong rolled his eyes: "Of course, if there is a shortage of soldiers on weekdays, the major general is no matter how hard the bones are, as long as there is an order from above, I will gnaw them, but there is no shortage of people at the moment, and the big guys are crazy to rob them, such as Liu Wenbing, who can't wait to build a great achievement and carry it back to the capital to show off, but they don't weigh their own catties, can they fight, can they attack the city, even if they send tens of thousands of mouths, they can't break the city."

"Let's not talk about others first, let's talk about yourself, uncle" Li Yan smiled slightly: "This shouldn't be the main reason why you gave up grabbing credit." Huang Degong smiled, looked around and then whispered, "You should be stupid."

Li Yan was stunned: "Uncle Jing can't understand what he said."

"And, you don't come" Huang Degong rolled his eyes again: "Let me ask you, what do you think of Gao Jie?" ”

Belch...... Li Yan's heart moved: "Arrogant and impulsive, but he also dares to fight and fight......"

"That's it, how can he not fight for this kind of thing in the past, but this time the big guys are fighting for their heads, but you see him in that look like he has nothing to do with himself, hehe, there must be a demon when things go wrong, although I don't know why, but I also decided not to mix."

Good guy, why did this guy who usually doesn't like to use his brains the most suddenly have a flash of inspiration, Li Yan was determined to divert the topic, so he pointed to the head ......of Anqing City: "Jing Nanbo, do you think the thief army will surrender before tomorrow?" ”

Huang Degong was really taken away by him, looked up at the city and squinted: "Lao Tzu doesn't care if he descends, he will go into the city to drink if he descends Lao Tzu, and if he doesn't descend, he will follow you to break the city."

cough cough cough, Li Yan was almost choked by him: "Jing Nanbo, you are too negative, pay attention to affecting the morale of the army."

Come on, Huang Degong pouted: "The military heart has been beaten by you" said and looked at the other side of the Yangtze River and sighed: "I knew that it would be more enjoyable to follow the little eunuch to fight on the other side of the river, and it would be boring to follow you to grind and chirp."

Li Yan couldn't laugh when he heard this.
