On the eighth day of November in the ninth year of Tiansheng, the backyard of Luobai County.

From early in the morning, Huang Anming, Wei Zhizhou, Huang Zhixian, and Huang Zongxiang sat around the stone at the table, with heavy faces. Except for Huang Zongxiang, who was a little lazy, everyone else was sitting with a serious face.

As the sun rises, the dew on the grass slowly disappears, and the coolness of the night is swept away.

Wei Zhizhou looked at the sun and asked Huang Zhixian on the side: "Have you figured it out?" The handsome army from the county is going to settle in Luobai today? ”

Huang Zhixian said: "That's right, since the day before yesterday, they have packed up, and the people guarding the newly built barracks have also cleaned up there." ”

Huang Anming looked at Wei Zhizhou and said in a deep voice: "The matter was decided by us together, we all know what Huang Zhixian knows, what are you asking and asking?" Stir people's hearts in vain! ”

"When it comes to the end, I always feel a little panicked."

Wei Zhizhou sighed and frowned.

Huang Anming snorted coldly: "When the matter is settled, don't look ahead!" What great things can you achieve with a mother-in-law like you? You have done it for nothing for more than ten years in Zhizhou! ”

Wei Zhizhou shook his head helplessly. Huang Anming hesitated beforehand, he took the risk to persuade him to come here, but he didn't expect that after the matter was settled, Huang Anming's attitude was the most firm.

Maybe this is a person who is born to do great things, compared to this person, he is really not that material.

The sun rose in mid-air, the heat began to rise, and Wei Zhizhou felt more and more flustered.

Although the number of people who know the details of the matter has been minimized, can several states join forces to put together hundreds of people to really ensure that the news does not leak out? Sneak attack on the imperial court garrison, this is the sin of extermination! Even if he has practiced the "Kuoding Law", he is still the chief official of a state, has a huge industry, and is prosperous and wealthy, but as long as this thing is done, whether it is successful or not, as long as the news is revealed, there will be no way to live.

Jiangzhou is different from other places, it is only twenty miles away from Taiping County, even if you don't know the state, you can also rely on the geographical advantages to be a peacekeeper.

Is it worth the risk? When the matter came, Wei Zhizhou's heart became more and more flustered.

Outside there was the neighing of horses, someone shouting, getting closer.

"It's coming! Let's go up and have a look! Huang Anming slapped the table and stood up.

The others got up one after another and followed the ladder up the watchtower on the wall not far away.

On the newly built road from Taiping County to Luobai County, a team of soldiers and horses is coming from afar, and pedestrians and vendors on the road are evading. The flag is displayed, and the big word "Zhongrui" on the flag is particularly conspicuous.

Seeing these two words, Huang Anming's face turned pale, and he turned around and asked Huang Zhixian sharply: "Didn't you say that it was the Jingjiang Army stationed here?" Why is it that the newly recruited loyal cavalry is coming from outside? ”

"I- how do I know? Whether it is the official announcement or the news I inquired about, it has always been said that the Jingjiang Army, which was originally stationed in Taipingzhai, who knew that it would be replaced by the Zhongrui Army! ”

Huang Zhixian was at a loss, and turned in circles in place with a bitter face.

"Isn't the news revealed? Although we didn't tell the person who was transferred what he was doing, as long as someone said that he had slipped his mouth, anyone who was interested could guess it. Now that Xu Ping is sending troops to fight us, how can this be good? ”

Wei Zhizhou was already flustered, but when he suddenly saw this change, he was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

"What nonsense? Sending troops to fight Luobai County will be like this? Huang Zongxiang, who had not spoken, was still calm and glared at Wei Zhizhou. These soldiers and horses were clearly on the march, not for battle. You have also been a governor for so many years, and you have never led troops to fight! Huang Zhizhou said that you can't do big things, it's really good! ”

After speaking, Huang Zongxiang said to Huang Anming: "Although it is not here to crusade against us, the garrison has now been replaced by cavalry, and what we planned cannot be done." There are only more than 100 people, and then there are dead soldiers, and these people are also eggs and stones! In fact, even the infantry who were originally planned could only take advantage of the chaos to kill a few people and make trouble, and they had to rely on the efforts of Luo Zhi County to escape. Now these people have horses, where to run? ”

Huang Anming sighed: "Things can't be done, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." It's just that we didn't do it, the news leaked out, and Xu Tong will let us go? ”

With that, pacing back and forth in place.

The loyal soldiers outside had already arrived at the newly built barracks, and they did not unsadd, but just dismounted and cooked in the barracks. The marches all set out before dawn, bury the pot after dawn to cook, and hurry after eating, and do not eat dinner until after the camp in the afternoon. Two meals a day, no different from ordinary people when marching.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Anming stopped and looked at the rest of the people: "The matter has come to this, everyone, Huang Conggui can't stay!" ”

Luo Bai Huang Zhixian was frightened: "What do you mean?" Didn't you want to take Huang Yanei's life? ”

Huang Zongxiang said coldly: "Huang Zhizhou has made it clear enough, things have come to this point, if we don't kill Huang Conggui, are we still waiting for him to cause trouble for us?" In the past few years, without the care of our people, he would have died with a hundred lives! Protecting him for so many years is also worthy of my friendship with Huang Chengxiang! ”

The murderous aura in Huang Zongxiang's words made Huang Zhixian feel cold all over his body, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Huang Anming sighed: "It's not that we are ruthless, we really have to do this if we want to take Huang Conggui's life." There is no turning back from the bow, do you think we can be all right if we withdraw the people? didn't make an accident in Yongzhou, Jiatong wouldn't let him go, and he was entertained for nothing? If he doesn't return to Jiatong, sooner or later he will fall into the hands of the government, and the 'Kuoding Law' will be implemented, and we will no longer be able to protect him. And as long as he is in the hands of Xu Ping, Huang Zhixian, do you think he can keep his mouth shut and not confess to us? ”

"But—but if he's dead, won't we offend Jiaozhi?" Huang Zhixian still hesitated.

"I'm not afraid, you Luobai County is far away from Jiaozhi, what do you care!"

As he spoke, Huang Anming saw that Huang Zhixian was still uncertain, and sighed deeply: "Alas, speaking of which, I have also known his father since childhood, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, where would I be so ruthless." Huang Zhixian, now that the soldiers in the division are strong and strong, our heads are under the swords of others, and we dare not be sloppy in the slightest! ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhixian already understood that Huang Conggui had to die this time. After escaping from Chungju, Huang Conggui was at large for so long because the local officials thought he was useful, and now he has become a burden, and there is no way back.

Huang Zhixian has no friendship with Huang Conggui, and it is not pleasing to the eye, and the reason why he hesitates is because he is frightened by Huang Anming and Huang Zongxiang. When you need to cooperate, you call yourself a brother, and when you turn your head, you will show your knife and kill people. Originally, guarding the land of a county, Huang Zhixian felt that he could be regarded as the hero of one party, but compared with these two today, he felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

Shangsizhou and Simingzhou are in the upper and lower reaches of the Ming River, each sitting big at one end and the other, crushing the Qianlongtong sandwiched in the middle. If it weren't for the two states becoming two dragons to win the pearl, Qianlongtong would have been annexed long ago. Such the chief officials of the two states can not be compared with the horizontal goods of Luo Bai and Huang Zhi County.

Wei Zhizhou also felt cold, mixed with these two gods, and regretted it to death. I also ran to Siming Prefecture to persuade Huang Anming, which felt ridiculous when I thought about it.

"Hey, why are they going to leave again? Isn't it stationed here? ”

Huang Zongxiang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking out, I saw that the loyal Rui army who had eaten had all mounted their horses and continued to move forward.

"Where do they go? There are no avenues further on, all of them are mountain paths? Huang Zhixian was puzzled, looked at Wei Zhizhou and said.

Huang Zongxiang stomped his foot violently: "Straight lady thief, they are going to Qianlongtong!" We are still thinking about calculating Xu Ping here, but that thief wants to smash our lair! ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Huang Anming and asked in a deep voice, "What do you say?" ”

Huang Anming looked at the loyal Rui army that was moving forward outside the village, not only the horses were neatly prepared, but there were also many horses to follow to carry supplies, and a rough calculation turned out to be about two people and three horses. You must know that the Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, that is, some cavalry in the forbidden army could not reach one person and one horse, and they just occupied the establishment. But he didn't expect the Taiping Army to be so generous, and he also invested so much money on the Xiang Army under his hand.

Huang Anming only felt dizzy for a while, held his forehead with his hand, and slowly spoke: "As soon as Qianlongtong is lost, the lifting division will control and choke the key point, and our two states have become meat on the chopping board, and we can only be obedient and obedient——"

Speaking of this, Huang Anming waved his hand violently: "No!" I have been inheriting it for several generations in Siming State, and I have today's foundation, how can I be buried like this! God pity us, let's see here, otherwise it will be too late for these cavalrymen to arrive. Providence so, then—"

Speaking of this, Huang Anming raised his head and glanced at Huang Zongxiang, and both of them nodded emphatically.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Anming turned to Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian and said, "The two of you have seen it, the army of the Lifting Division has been dispatched, and it must be a direct attack on Qianlongtong." Xu Ping kept saying that on the 25th, he summoned the chief officials of various prefectures, and also announced the whole territory, and the notices were posted everywhere on the white wall. It's the same as the real thing, but today it's going to be an army! The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, how old is he to learn so cunning! ”

Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian asked in unison, "What should I do then?" ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, since we have seen it, his plan has been broken! How many years have we barbarians been dealing with the government, and this kind of thing has not been seen before, so there is no need to be afraid. However, Huang Zhizhou and I can't stay here, we have to go back to set up it immediately. ”

When Huang Anming said this, he softened his tone and said, "After we leave, the matter here will be handed over to the two of you, and you will deal with it carefully." ”

Hearing that the two were leaving, Huang Zhixian was happy and a little flustered, and now he really felt that he couldn't do such a big thing.

After thinking for a while, Huang Zhixian asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Huang Anming said: "I'll make a suggestion, and the two of you will consider it." Huang Conggui was not in a hurry to kill, since the Zhongrui Army had already been driven to Qianlongtong, the military camp here must still be stationed in the Jingjiang Army. When they came, if Qianlongtong was not occupied, or if the loyal army was still on the march, the two of them could act according to their previous plan. If Qianlongtong is already in the hands of the Lifting Division, then—"

Speaking of this, Huang Anming looked at the two of them and accentuated his tone: "You must leave Huang Conggui's life, so that he will never be able to open his mouth." This is a matter related to our net worth and life, and we can't have any accidents! ”
