"Brother, Gao Lian ran away!"
Ma Ling ran to Sun Lei with a smile and said. Qinbei Pavilion
"Run? He wants to abandon the city too?"
Sun Lei was a little surprised. Even if Zengtou City and Daming Mansion ran away, why did Gao Lian, the parent official of Gaotang Prefecture, also run away?
"Brother, Gao Lian knew that the state capital could not be defended, so he prepared to escape. This guy was also insidious enough. He asked the soldiers and horses of Zengtou City and Daming Prefecture to come out first to attract firepower, and then left the city at dawn."
Ma Ling said.
"You really have some weird ideas. He brought Chai Jin with him? Where did he run to? Daming Mansion?"
Sun Lei asked while touching his chin.
"Chai Jin was imprisoned in a prison car and was on his way to Tokyo."
Ma Ling said.
"I am planning to use firewood as a shield, but Tokyo is not that easy to get to."
Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and said.
"Brother, let's chase him now!"
Lin Chong said.
"No, it's too late to chase him now."
Sun Lei looked at the water in front of him and the gloomy sky. This thing against the enemy has now become a stumbling block for him.
"Director Ma, hurry back to Liangshanbo and ask Xiaowu and Xiaoqi to lead people to stop Gao Lian in the canal between Beijishui and Dahe."
Sun Lei looked at Ma Ling and said, it's not impossible to catch up on horseback now. The horses are not that fragile yet, but the question is, what if we catch up? Gao Lian is using Chai Jin as a shield, so it's hard to make a move. It's better to paralyze Gao Lian first and make him think his plan has succeeded.
"Brother, don't worry, my little brother is quick on his feet. We can reach Liangshanbo in two days!"
Ma Ling smiled and hurried back with a fist in his arms. Another wave of water floated across the swamp where the enemy was trapped.
"I actually know a little bit of this trick!"
Sun Lei laughed and hurried forward, stepped on a driftwood, counted dots on the water, and finally jumped onto another driftwood.
"Brother, good work!"
When Ou Peng saw it, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
"Haha, I've finally made some progress, but I'm still far behind Taoist Master Ma."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Clean the battlefield, gather the troops and horses, let's go to Gaotang Prefecture!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said, the army is tired after fighting for so long. Since Gao Lian has run away, it is better to go to Gaotang Prefecture to rest for a few days. After the weather clears, the cavalry can catch up in two days.
At noon, Sun Lei arrived at the gate of Gaotang Prefecture. At this time, the four gates of Gaotang Prefecture were wide open, and there were no soldiers or flags guarding the city.
"Go, blow up the water gate, release the water first, and then block the water inlet. How can we get in when there is water in the city?"
Sun Lei looked at the water in Gaotangzhou and frowned.
"Yes, brother!"
Tao Zongwang took the order and took the people there.
"Brother Tao Zongwang is really a good engineer. He is very good at all civil construction projects. He can play a big role on the battlefield."
Xiao Jiasui smiled and looked at Tao Zongwang who was leaving and said, Tao Zongwang made great contributions in this battle.
"Well, after returning, if the recruits who don't meet the standards are willing, they can form an engineering battalion to be responsible for the civil engineering of the army."
Sun Lei nodded and said that he also discovered Tao Zongwang's ability. It would be too wasteful to stay in Liangshan to build houses and dig canals.
"elder brother!"
Shi Qian, Sister-in-law Gu, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run also walked out of the city and clasped their fists at Sun Lei.
"How is the situation in the city?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.
"Gao Lian ran away with his army of cronies. The city is now defenseless, and some rogues are ready to take the opportunity to cause chaos and loot."
Shi Qian spoke.
"You guys are relatively familiar with the city. Each of you will bring a battalion into the city and take control of the city first!"
Sun Lei said, Shi Qian and other seven people entered Gaotang Prefecture with seven battalions of soldiers and horses.
"Jiang Jing, take people to the treasury and count the grain, grass, baggage, and various materials."
Sun Lei looked at Jiang Jing again and said, Gao Lian and others would not be able to take many things with them if they were in a hurry to escape, and what Gao Lian didn't like might be what he needed.
"Yes, brother!"
Jiang Jing also entered the city with a group of soldiers.
"Don't let the horses enter the city. Our camp is relatively dry, so just rush there!"
Sun Lei pointed to the camp and said, these horses have been in the water for a long time and now they need a dry place to stay.
…
"How was it? We left safely, right?"
Gao Lian looked at the people around him and said proudly, the situation of certain death was easily broken by him.
"Brother-in-law, I am so impressed that Sun Lei never dreamed that my brother-in-law would be able to escape from his shell!"
Yin Tianci smiled and flattered, saying that he was in a good mood now. He no longer had to worry about thieves attacking the city, and he no longer had to live in fear and precarious days.
"Koh Prefecture's brilliant plan!"
Wei Dingguo and Shan Yangui also said that they thought they would follow Gao Lian to defend the city until the city was broken, but they did not expect that Gao Lian would make such a move. The dead chess actually walked away alive, but as the prefect, he abandoned the city. Escape is a serious crime, and only people with strong backgrounds like Gao Lian dare to do it.
"Haha, look, it's almost going to be sunny today!"
Gao Lian pointed to the sky and laughed. It had been raining for days and it was very humid. Now he could finally see the sun.
"Haha, the thief's spell has also been broken!"
Yin Tianci continued to flatter him.
"Even after we leave Gaotang Prefecture, we will reach Dongchang Prefecture. Where should we go to replenish our supplies? My eldest brother also promoted the governor of Dongchang Prefecture."
Gao Lian pointed to Dongchang Mansion in front of him and said.
"Brother-in-law, Dongchang Mansion didn't send troops to help this time. Is there any problem?"
Yin Tianci was a little worried. Now he looked like everyone was from Liangshanbo.
"No, Dongchang Mansion lost its troops in the last attack on Liangshan. Now it only has a thousand miscellaneous soldiers. It is normal that it is unable to send troops. As long as he still wants to be the prefect, he doesn't have to worry about anything."
Gao Lian shook his head and said, he still has confidence because of the more than 6,000 soldiers and horses around him, he is not afraid of what Dongchang Mansion has in mind.
The city gate of Dongchang Prefecture was closed tightly. When Gao Lian led his soldiers and horses to Dongchang Prefecture, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture was shocked. After hesitating for a long time, he opened the city gate and let Gao Lian and others in.
Zhang Qing from a distance frowned as he watched all this. He didn't expect Gao Lian to bring someone to Dongchang Mansion.
As the former military commander of Dongchang Prefecture, he still had a way to enter the city no matter how tightly the city gate was closed.
Entering the city after dark, Zhang Qing quickly arrived outside Huangfu Duan's house.
"Brother, why is it you? Are you back?"
When Huangfu Duan saw it was Zhang Qing, he hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Brother Huangfu, I have something important to discuss with you!"
Zhang Qing looked at Huangfu Duan and told him about Liang Shanbo's invitation.
"Brother, have you surrendered to Liangshan?"
Huangfu Duan looked at Zhang Qing in surprise. Zhang Qing's flying stones were excellent and he had few rivals in the world.
"Yes, brother Sun Lei has great ambitions. Following him will have a bright future!"
Zhang Qing nodded.
"I believe in my brother's vision, but now is not the time. Someone came from the prefect's office just now and asked me to go to the army to help treat the war horses, and to go to Tokyo with the army."
Huangfu Duan pointed in the direction of the military camp and said.
"But what about the war horses in Gao Jian's army?"
Zhang Qing asked quickly.
"Exactly! It is said that the foot strength of the horses in his army has declined significantly. In order to ensure the distance, he asked me to follow him all the way."
Huangfu nodded.
