On the official road of Subei County.
Li Dingguo led the Japanese army of 20,000 men and was slowly advancing.
suddenly!
"Report! General, Wusu County is ten miles ahead of our army!"
After listening to Tan Ma's report, Li Dingguo immediately raised his hand to stop the team.
The huge team came to a slow stop, and Xin Ping, the deputy general at the rear, saw the team stopped and hurried forward on horseback.
"General, why did you stop?"
Li Dingguo pointed ahead and said: "Ten miles away is Wusu County, one of our goals this time."
"How fast?!"
Xin Ping was shocked.
Li Dingguo nodded, and then said: "Lao Xin, I have an idea."
"You said it." Xin Ping made a listening gesture.
Li Dingguo then said: "This time our targets are four counties in total, all of which are the counties closest to Haibo Port in Subei County.
Once we arrest someone in one of the counties, being so close will definitely alert the Japanese pirates in other counties, causing them to run away.
When the time comes in the vast sea, we won’t be able to find them at all if they hide in the sea.
If they come back after we leave, then our trip will be in vain. "
"That's the truth. What do you want to do?" Xin Ping nodded in agreement and then asked.
He knew that since the general raised this issue, he must have thought of a solution.
As expected, Li Dingguo then said:
"In this way, we have 20,000 troops. I plan to divide the troops into four groups. You, me, Cao Yi, and Zuo Hui will each lead 5,000 troops to the four counties.
We entered the city under the pretext that we were sent by the imperial court to resist Japanese pirates. After we identified the Japanese pirates and the forces colluding with them, as soon as I sent a signal, we launched an attack together.
In this way, if we all fight together, the Japanese pirates from other places will not get the news and escape. "
"Wouldn't five thousand people be enough?" Xin Ping hesitated.
Li Dingguo waved his hand and said:
"I received a message from the secret guards last night. Although the Japanese pirates have lurked into these counties and controlled key places, their numbers are not too large.
There are only a few hundred people in a county, and five thousand people are enough for a county.
The only thing that needs to be prepared is how many Japanese pirates at sea will come ashore after receiving the news. This number has not been detected by the secret guards.
However, based on past numbers, the number should be around a thousand. With our equipment, five thousand should be enough.
Even counter-annihilation is not a bad idea if there is a chance. "
After hearing this, Xin Ping immediately cupped his hands and said, "General, since you have made arrangements, my subordinates will obey your orders!"
Li Dingguo nodded, then ordered his troops to go down, and soon called Cao Yi and Zuo Hui over.
When they heard from the general that they needed to lead troops to the remaining two counties, they didn't hesitate at all and took it on the spot.
Li Dingguo also immediately ordered that he take 500 heavy cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry and 2,000 infantry, a total of 4,500 people, to Wusu County.
Xin Ping led 3,500 light cavalry and 2,000 infantry to Feng County, while Cao Yi and Zuo Hui each led the remaining 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to Ning and Yun counties.
After setting the goal of dividing the troops, the four people immediately divided their troops on the spot. After about an hour, the Ping Japanese army that was originally gathered in one group was divided into four groups.
Standing there and watching Xin Ping and others leaving, Li Dingguo came back to his senses, turned his horse and waved his hand in the direction of Wusu County.
"Target, Wusu County! All troops advance!"
"The general has an order, the entire army is moving forward in Wusu County ahead!"
"The general has an order, the entire army is moving forward in Wusu County ahead!"
The army slowly advanced towards Wusu.
…
Wusu County.
Sure enough, everything went as Wusu County Magistrate Huang Tiansheng said. The dispersed people could no longer reunite as they did that day, and people are forgetful. Within a few days, Li Ergou was slowly brought to justice in the street. The beating to death and the extermination of Li Ergou's family were never mentioned again.
This is just like the countless evil things the Jing family has done in the past, completely wiped out in the past.
In the backyard of the county government office, Huang Tiansheng was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his left hand, sipping it gently from time to time. A maid on the right was fanning him slowly.
Huang Tiansheng sang "The Oiran" with narrowed eyes.
"The moon is bright, the stars are rare, and the stars are so quiet,
With a new hatred, he moved to another house.
The wealthy family refuses to give up their music.
They are warm and well-fed and have no worries...
"The county magistrate is in trouble!
Lord County Lord! Oh no! Oh no! "
Huang Tiansheng, who had just finished singing "Wu Chou" and was about to sing the next line, opened his eyes and jumped up from his stool when he heard these words.
He looked in the direction of the front hall door with a face full of surprise and uncertainty.
The next moment, it was that familiar face again, his master Li Li walked over from the round courtyard gate with an anxious look on his face.
Although he was speechless, Huang Tiansheng still rubbed his brows and walked forward:
"What happened to make you in such a hurry? Could it be that the young master from the Jing family killed someone in the street again?"
In Huang Tiansheng's opinion, this is probably the only thing that can make his master react like this.
But...this is impossible!
Is the Jing family so bold?
You just solved a problem for them, and now you’re here again? It’s true, then I will never let go without ten thousand taels this time!
In Huang Tiansheng's eyes, the lives of these people are nothing more than bargaining chips for him to get benefits from the Jing family. If they die, they will die, as long as the Jing family can give them a banknote!
But what Li Li said next made him look as panicked as Li Li just now.
"No, Lord County! It's not the Jing family, it's the imperial court! The imperial court has sent troops!"
Click!
The white jade-like tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The hot tea spilled all over the floor, and some of it even splashed on the hem of Huang Tiansheng's official robe, but he didn't hear it at all. He only opened his mouth wide and murmured. murmured:
"No way, it's just a matter of getting some money, and you have to send troops to kill me. This is too much to make a fuss about..."
Emotionally, he thought the army was coming to kill him.
When Huang Tiansheng and Li Li hurriedly arrived at the city gate, they saw a dark group of armored troops parked neatly not far from the city gate.
The flag he held was a black gold-rimmed flag with an orange-red auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on it.
On the other flag representing the general, there is a big character "Li" moving in the wind, making a hunting sound!
Just when Huang Tiansheng was still thinking about which army in China used this orange-red auspicious cloud pattern, and the general's surname was Li.
Tap tap tap tap!
~
A burst of sand and dust hit their faces, making Huang Tiansheng and his party, who were still in a daze, eat a mouthful of sand!
When the smoke cleared, a white war horse appeared in front of everyone. The knight on the horse was wearing iron armor and a red cloak. His young face was full of heroism and the unique rebelliousness of youth.
"This general is Li Dingguo, the commander of the first wing of the Yunhui Army. I have come to suppress the Japanese under the orders of the Holy Emperor and the imperial court. Who is the magistrate of Wusu County? Please step forward and answer me quickly!"
Li Dingguo's voice was filled with condescension and arrogance, and he looked at Huang Tiansheng and his party with disdain, showing no sign of taking them seriously.
Just looking at it, he looked like a young man who was in a high position due to the shadow of his father's generation!
At this time, Huang Tiansheng looked at the young general and had only one thought in his mind:
"Which noble general's son is here to be gilded?"
