Chapter 559: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth

"Captain Lou was unfavorable and failed to wipe out all the thieves?"

Hearing the news delivered back by the envoy Pegasus, the Linzi County Shou Lu Qi (yǐ) was so anxious that he didn't care about his image of a two-thousand-stone official, and immediately stood up and asked:

"When Lieutenant Lou left, he patted his chest and said that he would be able to sweep away the group of thieves within ten days, and every time he sent someone to reply, he also said that the group of thieves was a rabble, vulnerable to a single blow, and if he didn't fight, he would be wiped out in battle, what happened?"

Only then did the envoy explain the details of the battle of Jishui one by one, and it turned out that the morning before yesterday, the Qi crowd of thieves crossed the water to attack first, but they quickly returned in a big rout.

The county lieutenant despised his peers, and immediately asked people to erect a pontoon bridge and cross the water to pursue. Unexpectedly, more than 1,000 people crossed over, but the originally defeated group of thieves came back, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and more than 10,000 people rushed to the river bank without any formation. The river bank was already narrow and wet, and the front of a thousand Qin soldiers was not thick enough, although the spears were erected and the crossbow bolts were constantly fired, but they were rushed like this, and they were caught off guard, so they could only retreat slowly.

The Qin army is strong and the equipment is sufficient, as long as the follow-up troops continue to come, they can withstand it, but they don't want to be at this time. From the upstream but dozens of small boats, it turned out that the group of thieves from Jibei County came to support the Tian brothers, those boats directly hit the pontoon bridge, the people on it jumped down to block the support of the Qin army, and finally the pontoon bridge was cut off, the two north and south of the Qin army could not echo, and more than 1,000 people north of Jishui were submerged in the group of thieves.

Seeing this, Lou Kang could only retreat to Duchang County with the remaining 4,000 people in order to fight again......

When Lu Qi, the guard of Linzi County, heard this, he couldn't help but scold, where was this failed to be completely annihilated, it was obviously the defeat of the Qin army!

Lu Qi knew what this small defeat meant: the possibility of quickly extinguishing the rebellion was gone, and the rebellion between Zhutian and Qingxia was probably intensifying.

What's even worse is that according to the messenger, there are still robbers from Jibei County? Does this mean that a few days ago, the "group of thieves" mentioned in the letter from Jibei County also began to grow?

The rebellion in Linzi County was the result of Haikou's activities and the plot of the Tian clan of Di County, and the people who responded to Di County in Jibei County were inspired by the haste of the guards of Jibei County.

When they heard that there was an accident in Di County and the Tian Dan brothers tried in vain to restore the Qi State, the first reaction of the Jibei County Guard was to send county soldiers to arrest all the fields in the county. As a result, it caused a greater backlash, and a few people were not caught, and overnight, almost all of the fields in Jibei were forced to rebel.

In particular, Gaotang County, the base camp of Tian's ancestors, also erected a big banner, and a Tian Qi nobleman named "Tian Jie" responded to Tian Dan and killed Qin officials to occupy the city and defend it. Therefore, Jibei County is also anxious at the moment, busy suppressing the rebellion of the Gao Tang Dynasty, and has no time to send troops to Linzi to support.

Lu Qi could only secretly rejoice, fortunately, Linzi Zhutian, most of them moved to Guanzhong with Qi Wangjian a few years ago, they were the first batch of Haoqiang to be forcibly relocated, so there was no chaos in Linzi City, and he could still hide in a safe area and think about ideas.

But things have reached the point of burning eyebrows, and Qin Lu is not only strict with Qianshou, but also with officials. In particular, military law meant that generals who abandoned their armies were to be put to death, and officials who lost their cities were punished.

As a county guard, if there is no will of the imperial court, Lu Qi does not need to personally lead the troops to fight, but he has the responsibility to defend the territory. Now, four or five counties north of Linzi Jishui have completely fallen, and Lu Qi has reached the standard for dismissal, if the rebellion is further expanded and becomes a prairie fire, then what he said to the emperor, "It's not a rebellion, it's just a group of thieves" will definitely become a confession to kill himself, and a few heads are not enough to cut off!

But now, it is impossible to quell the rebellion by relying on Linzi County alone, and Lou Kang has stopped the rebels north of Jishui, which is the limit.

At this time, Linzi Juncheng came up with an idea and said: "The county guard doesn't have to worry, there is chaos in Jibei and can't help, and it will take some time for the imperial court reinforcements to arrive, but there are still soldiers from Jiaodong!" Jiaodong has exhausted all the fields, no longer have to worry about the future, Wei Junshou has been ordered by His Majesty, led the land division to approach Linzi, the boat division also set sail, as long as a few days, you can meet with the Linzi army, land and water, put down the rebellion! ”

It seems that the idea is good, and everything can be handed over to the black man in Jiaodong who can fight and govern the county, but Lu Qi only said nothing with a gloomy face, and the county is squeezing him!

As a veteran minister over fifty years old, Lu Qi was able to be sent to Linzi, a large county with a population of nearly two million, as a county guard, not because of how much merit he had, mainly because of his sufficient qualifications, he had been in the office for more than 30 years, and he had accumulated performance to this point.

After arriving in Linzi, Lu Qi also managed this place well, although the main reason for the stability of Linzi is that Wang Ben is a big mountain town, and all people are in awe.

Last year, Wang Ben left Linzi and returned to Xianyang, and Lu Qi suddenly felt a huge pressure, which was not only difficult for the Linzi Qi people to govern, but also because his neighbor, Jiaodong County Shouhefu, performed too well......

Regulating private learning, recruiting farmers, destroying the Yeyi Tian clan, and discovering gold mines, almost every few months, Heifu has to drum up a sensational thing, compared with which the safe and quiet Linzi seems a little bleak.

When Qin Shi Huang toured the east, this situation was even worse, and Lu Qi listened to the words of Changshi and collected all kinds of auspicious gifts to offer, such as the big footprints of giants, but he was compared to Heifu again. "Natural auspiciousness is not as good as people's auspiciousness", it is really a shame that he can say it, but once again the emperor is happy, and there is also an irony for Lu Qi and others to forge auspiciousness.

Next, Linzi Confucianism made trouble, and Lu Qi was also blamed for poor management of the market and was reprimanded. As for Heifu, he was involved in the dispute over book repair and book burning, and tried his best to block Li Si's proposal, and became the savior of a hundred schools, and he was in the limelight for a while.

In short, Qin Shi Huang had a very low evaluation of Linzi's governance, but he was full of praise for the new policy in Jiaodong, and when he left Jiaodong, he also gave the word to Naheifu: Jimo......

Although Lu Qi didn't say it, he was a little jealous in his heart, but he and Heifu Jingshui didn't commit river water, so they couldn't make a feud.

But the rebellion that happened in Linzi made Lu Qi unable to manage so much.

He felt that he was very wronged: the forcible relocation of Zhutian was initiated by Heifu, and the 4,000 pirates were also entrenched on Jiaodong Island, but they didn't dare to make trouble in Jiaodong, but they ran to their own jurisdiction to make trouble, is it easy to bully Linzi County?

Angry and angry, and wanting to shirk responsibility, when he wrote to the emperor, Lu Qi put the blame for this rebellion on the head of Jiaodong County.

But now, relying on Linzi to quell the rebellion has come to naught, Lu Qi still has to count on Jiaodong's assistance, where will his old face go......

Seeing that Jiao Dongbing was about to arrive tomorrow, Lu Qi didn't even know how to cooperate with Nahefu......

Fortunately, soon he won't have to worry about it.

Just as Lu Qi was pacing and thinking, he heard a chaos outside, and a noisy sound came, Lu Qi was suddenly shocked and sent someone to see what was going on.

After a moment's chasm, a clerk ran in with a pale face, didn't care about taking off his shoes, and didn't have time to salute, and hurriedly said: "County guard, the news of the battle of Jishui has leaked, and someone in Linzi City has taken the opportunity to make trouble!" ”

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then there was a chill, he only cared about the battle situation of anxiety, but he forgot that at this moment, he was also sitting on a pile of dry firewood that might be ignited at any time!

……

At the same time, more than ten miles away, Heifu stood on the cart and saw a few pillars of smoke burning in the big city.

They reach into the sky, like the dark fingers of ghosts and gods sticking out of the clouds, and wherever they sweep, they are filled with blood and fire......

"I knew ......"

Heifu sighed, he had passed through Linzi three times, and knew that Qin's rule here was really like a tree without roots, water without a source, floating on the surface.

Qi Linzi three hundred Lu, but the officials do not know its people, the people do not believe its officials, although Linzi Zhutian as early as the fall of the Qi State, was relocated with Qi Wangjian, but who knows if there are any fish hidden in the net, dormant waiting for the opportunity to resurge? And it is too easy for those Lilu light men to make trouble in this city where they were born and raised.

Heifu will never forget what Wang Ben said to himself, Qin is in Linzi, there are only forty chiefs, and they are in charge of 400,000 Linzi Qi people with unpredictable attitudes and difficult to understand language!

Relying only on two thousand poorly trained soldiers of the Qin army, it is too difficult to maintain law and order in the city, this is a pile of dense dry firewood, and a spark can ignite a monstrous fire!

Cao Shen also sent someone Pegasus back to report: "Junjun, the county guard of Linzi Lu sent someone to ask for help, saying that there was a rebellion in Linzi City, and Qingxia and Diao people took to the streets, burned down the official temple, and attacked the officials. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Linzi is lost, Jiaodong is no longer safe, and I hope that the county will save it quickly! ”

After Gong Ao heard this, he laughed: "This Linzi county guard, he finally admitted that it was a rebellion?" But even if he doesn't have his broken lips, Jiaodong's iron teeth and copper teeth can still bite the rebels to pieces and achieve great achievements in the county guard, why rush to save him! ”

With that, both looked at Heifu.

Heifu pointed to Linzi, his face was solemn: "I only know that if Linzi City is in chaos, then this rebellion will not be a matter of tens of thousands of deaths!" ”
