Cen Wei's troops and horses left as quickly as they came.
Not for a while.
This group of well-trained green forest soldiers and horses had disappeared into the vast night.
Wait until everyone leaves.
Cao Yanshou sighed, and then led his troops away, straight into Caozhou City. While resting his troops and horses, he edited and wrote official documents and sent them to Dengzhou.
…
Yang Lin's side.
I’ve finished reading Cao Yanshou’s letters.
He frowned slightly and muttered: "It's strange...these bandits are aiming to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. I'm waiting to come back in a hurry. They should be more anxious to rescue their comrades, but why did they retreat rashly?"
Think of this.
Wang Ke once again submitted a military report.
This military report was sent by Huang Congyi from Laizhou City.
The military report said that after Huang Congyi's army returned to Laizhou, the bandits who had controlled the main roads in Laizhou retreated one after another.
Saw this.
Huang Congyi felt very strange.
then.
He also revised a letter and sent it to Yang Lin in Dengzhou Prefecture.
"Hiss... As soon as I returned, the bandits from Dengzhou Prefecture, Caozhou, and Laizhou all withdrew their troops at the same time. Could it be that something happened in Licheng County?"
Take the military report sent by Huang Congyi.
Yang Lin frowned, wondering in his heart.
"Report..."
but.
Just as Yang Lin was thinking hard.
But outside the city of Dengzhou, he saw a fast horse galloping towards him, and a strong man sitting on it came to Yang Lin. He got off his horse, walked quickly to Wang Jia, and loudly reported: "I am reporting to my patron prince, Official documents have been delivered to Tang Bi and Xu Youde of Jinan Prefecture."
"Jinan Prefecture? Could it be that something really happened in Licheng County?"
When Yang Lin heard this, an ominous premonition suddenly filled his heart.
Immediately.
He took the letter and opened it to look at it, but he saw that it read: "Three days ago, thieves robbed prisons, launched a rebellion in Shandong, massacred the officers and soldiers, robbed money and food, killed more than 10,000 people, and injured countless others. , burned down more than 20,000 houses... In addition, all the thieves rested in the Thirteenth Taibao Mansion. Those thieves are all friends of the Thirteenth Taibao. There is an alliance sheet with the names of all the thieves."
After Yang Lin read the letter, he was shocked and froze on the spot, and did not speak for a long time.
Yang Daoyuan on the side saw this situation and quickly asked: "Father, what happened?"
Yang Lin sighed, and then handed the letter sent by Tang Bi and Xu Youde of Jinan Prefecture to his son.
Yang Daoyuan took the letter and read it quickly. He was trembling with anger and said, "That's it! Father, this is Qin Qiong Zhifeng. Why not call him here and hack him to death with a knife!"
Yang Lin shook his head and said: "I don't know whether this is true or not... Qin Qiong once made flags under Tang Bi. When Tang Bi saw that the lonely king adopted Qin Qiong as his son, he must have been a little unconvinced... Now, it's time to rebel again. Shandong, he was afraid that the lonely king would blame him, but he wrote my prince's deceit on it and tried to deceive the lonely king... Therefore, the lonely king asked Qin Qiong to confront him and clear his name. "
Speaking of which.
Yang Lin's eyes fell on the strong man who sent the message and asked: "Who are you?"
The man cupped his hands and replied: "The last general is Shangyi, the partial general of Jinan Prefecture!"
Yang Lindao: "Since you are a general of Jinan Prefecture, you must be very familiar with Qin Qiong... So, you go with the arrow of the lonely king and send word that Qin Qiong is coming to Dengzhou at night to reply!"
Upon hearing this, Shangyi cupped his hands and said, "The last general will take your orders!"
after.
Yang Lin then took a command arrow and gave it to Shangyi.
Shangyi took the command arrow and rode a Sichuan horse to Licheng County.
Wait until Shangyi leaves.
Yang Lin returned to the palace and sat down.
After thinking about it, he still couldn't worry about the general named Shangyi, so he asked Yang Daoyuan to invite Wang Ke.
"The last general, Wang Ke, has met the patron king!"
Not for a while.
Wang Ke, the Marquis of Dingbei, was neatly dressed and came to the palace of the patron prince. He clasped his hands and saluted Yang Lin.
Yang Lin said: "Dingbei Hou, the lonely king is going to send you to Licheng County. Are you willing?"
Wang Ke asked: "But are you going to capture Qin Qiong?"
Yang Lin said: "Then Qin Qiong is the son of the lonely king. If he is a group of thieves and bandits, he will be captured and killed on the spot. If he is not a group of thieves and bandits, then Tang Bi and Xu Youde are framed, so they will be captured and killed." Of!"
"My lord, this is easy to say. Tang Bi and Xu Youde are the imperial officials. How can the generals kill them at will?"
Wang Ke frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
Yang Lin said: "The lonely king has his own written reply to your majesty. You don't have to worry about this matter."
Wang Ke nodded and said: "That's fine! The last general will take the order!"
When Yang Lin heard this, he nodded slightly and said immediately: "That's good... But Marquis Dingbei, you once defeated the Green Forest bandits in the north. The people in the Green Forest have a deep hatred for you. Please be more careful when you leave!"
When Wang Ke heard this, he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will know!"
Say it.
He saluted Yang Lin again, then turned and left.
After leaving Yang Lin.
Yang Lin went straight back to his camp.
Just sat down in the Chinese military tent.
Wang Ke then summoned his generals Guo Xiaoke, Mai Tiezhang, Su Dingfang, Zhang Hu and Shi Zhaowu to come to the tent together.
"Meet the General!"
Not long after.
When everyone came to the tent, they all bowed their hands and said in their mouths.
"No gift!"
Wang Ke waved his hand gently and said to everyone.
"I wonder what the important thing is for the Lord to summon us?"
After Su Dingfang finished saluting, he immediately asked.
Wang Ke said, "Just now, the patron king said that I should go to Licheng County to hunt down the bandits. I wonder if you are ready?"
"Chasing bandits?"
When Guo Xiaoke heard this, his face changed slightly and he couldn't help but blurt out.
"That's right...pursuing the bandits...but how to hunt down the bandits, you need to add more staff and staff."
Wang Ke smiled half-heartedly, looked at Guo Xiaoke, and said.
When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he felt relieved, 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 come up with a solution..."
When Su Dingfang heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "Lord, when will we set off?"
Wang Ke said: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind... Just wait for a letter to arrive, and then we can march westward."
Su Dingfang said: "The heroes of the green forest have a close relationship with us. We really need Haosheng's staff. Why not, my lord can send a team of soldiers to investigate, and we will make a decision after investigating the situation."
Wang Ke said: "Then, who should I leave to inquire about the situation?"
"My lord, I am a poor general and would like to lead a troop to Licheng County to inquire about the situation."
really.
Just as Wang Ke finished speaking.
But among the generals, a strong-looking general stepped forward and asked for orders.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look - it turned out that this person was none other than Su Dingfang's deputy general Zhang Hu!
