Li Mugang was about to close his eyes and enjoy the feeling of conquering a beauty.
I was almost frightened by this voice.
About to get angry.
Only then did he realize that Song Mingli, who was sent to investigate the news in Sanhe County, had returned.
This is a big deal and cannot be delayed.
Li Mu raised and lowered his hands on the beautiful woman for a while, then reluctantly walked out.
"what happened?!"
"What's going on in Sanhe County?"
Li Mu walked out angrily.
"Sir, it's not good!"
"According to inquiries from my subordinates, all the troops we sent to Sanhe County have been killed!"
Song Mingli ignored Li Mu's dissatisfaction and said to Li Mu.
"What?!"
"Killed?"
"Where's Zhang Shuo?!"
Li Mu was shocked when he heard this.
Zhang Shuo had extraordinary martial arts skills, and he had five hundred men under his command, and all of them were killed just like that?
No one escaped?
"It is said that he was arrested!"
Song Mingli said solemnly.
"What?!"
"Caught?"
"How can this be?"
Li Mu was even more surprised.
It is much more difficult to capture a person alive on the battlefield than to kill him.
Unless there is a complete advantage in military strength.
"what happened?"
"Tell me in detail!"
Li Mu was anxious.
"Sir, there is no need to inquire in detail. It has been spread throughout Sanhe County now."
"The county magistrate of Sanhe County captured all five hundred men alive without any effort."
"They even captured our military commander."
"My subordinates made further inquiries and discovered that this is actually the case."
Song Mingli said to Li Mu.
"What?"
"Capture them all alive?"
"No one was lost?"
"impossible!"
Li Mu calmed down after hearing this.
Five hundred men and horses, plus Zhang Shuo.
Capture them all alive?
Sanhe County has not suffered any losses?
Are you going to make trouble with me?
If.
If all these five hundred men and horses were really killed.
That's still possible. After all, it's totally fine to have a fight.
But you want to capture him alive.
Are the five hundred of us just wooden people?
Can't you run away if you can't beat him?
"My subordinates also feel strange!"
"But before we could continue our investigation, we discovered a military camp with soldiers patrolling around it. We were worried about being exposed, so we came back."
Song Mingli naturally found it incredible, but after receiving the news, he had no time to think too much.
I came back anxiously to report the news.
"In my opinion, this is very likely to be news spread intentionally by Sanhe County!"
"We have to think about it, why did they say this deliberately, and what is their purpose?"
"It is very possible that our men and horses were indeed killed, and at the same time, Sanhe County also suffered heavy losses."
"There are almost no people available!"
"That's why they said that on purpose, and also deliberately placed the military camp outside the city to create the illusion of a large number of troops, so that we could stand still and not dare to continue attacking Sanhe County. They really had a good plan!"
"Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"
Li Mu said coldly.
"Your Majesty is right!"
"According to my subordinates' observations from a distance, the military camp is surrounded by farmland, and there are people cultivating it."
"Not a soldier at all."
"That being said, it's quite possible!"
Song Mingli reacted when he heard what Li Mu said.
"Then, sir, what should we do next?"
"How about my subordinates bring another group of troops, take advantage of the situation, and take Sanhe County directly!"
Song Mingli became excited as soon as he heard this.
Although I have never led troops, this is a good opportunity to pick up the slack.
If I can capture Sanhe County, it will be a big achievement. Maybe the position of Sanhe County Magistrate will be mine!
"No!"
"Keep waiting!"
"Let me think about it!"
Li Mu looked at Song Mingli and naturally knew what he was thinking.
But Li Mu also sent a few people to Sanhe County to investigate in disguise. He needed to wait until accurate news came back before he could make a decision!
My current self.
Every step is crucial.
If you underestimate the enemy or fall into the opponent's trap, you will be doomed.
…
Beihai County.
County government.
"You mean, all the five hundred people in Yunzhong County were killed by people from Sanhe County?"
"Or captured alive?"
"you sure?"
Ge Hong asked in disbelief.
"Absolutely true!"
"When my subordinates got the news, they were very puzzled and made sure again and again."
"This person was placed in Sanhe County by my subordinates a long time ago. He is now a centurion in the military camp. His information is unmistakable!"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
In fact, the other soldiers were not very clear about the entire beheading operation and the details of the drugging.
After all, the only people involved were those from Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry.
It was also a huge shame for those who were captured, so they naturally said something vague.
Just know it to the outside world.
All captured alive.
At most, some people know that the five hundred men and horses were captured because they ate something unclean and got food poisoning, which made them weak in fighting.
"What is the background of the current magistrate of Sanhe County?"
"He is actually so capable."
Ge Hong asked the visitor.
"This person's name is Huang Chenzhi, and he has been the chief registrar of Sanhe County before."
"But according to the intelligence from my subordinates, the real magistrate of Sanhe County now is not the man named Huang, but the previous Zhang Bao!"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
"Um?"
"Zhang Bao?"
"Isn't this person killed?"
"Isn't the imperial decree issued?"
Ge Hong asked in shock.
"grown ups!"
"This person is really bold!"
"He actually killed the imperial envoy, disguised himself as a bandit, and then sneaked back into the county government."
"He is commanding from secret!"
The source of the news for the visitor was the centurion in the military camp in Sanhe County.
Naturally, he is familiar with everything about Zhang Bao.
"oh?"
"Is there such a thing?!"
"This way, it will be easier to handle!"
"With this handle, no matter how powerful he is, he can't change the world!"
Ge Hong's eyes shone.
"Sir, can we take action now?"
"I heard that Chu La, who was newly appointed in Heyang County, has been making a lot of moves recently. Those in Heyang County who did not support the governor have basically been dealt with."
"But several county magistrates in Sanhe County were all Chen Dadao's subordinates before, and none of them are soft persimmons!"
"I'm afraid Chu La won't be that easy to deal with."
"If we help, will the Governor look at you differently?"
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
"Now is not the time."
"That Chu La has just begun. It's a time for fighting. Now that it has passed, people may not appreciate it."
"When will Chu La's skills be used to the fullest, and when he begs us, that's when he will show our value!"
"The longer we stretch it, the better it is for us!"
"When Heyang County is at the end of its own internal strife, and I, Beihai County, step in to clean up the mess, maybe there will be no more Heyang County in the future."
Ge Hong said coldly.
"yes!"
"Best regards, sir!"
The person cupped his hands and said.
"Let that person calm down recently. It's nothing serious. Try not to contact us to avoid exposing his identity."
"If this person is used well, he will be a great help to us."
"What's this person's name?"
Ge Hong asked the visitor.
"I understand, sir!"
"This person's name is Cheng Maoye. We arranged it a long time ago. His background is very clean. Even if they investigate, they can't find anything!"
The visitor said with a smile.
"That's good."
"You can't tell, this drama by the governor is really lively..."
Ge Hong said lightly, with a wicked smile on his lips.
