Beihai County.
Ge Hong held the message sent by the governor in his hand and remained silent.
"Sir, does the governor have any new orders?"
Beihai County's new soldier Cao Wang Yunhong asked from the side.
"See for yourself."
Ge Hong handed the letter from the governor to Wang Yunhong. Wang Yunhong took it and looked at it with a look of surprise.
"Sir, why is this governor suddenly having a fit?"
"Last time we wanted to send troops to Heyang County to avenge my brother and the others, he stopped us. Now it's better, he actually let us attack Yunzhong County again."
"Did he find out about our attack on Zhang Bao this time?"
Wang Yunhong asked Ge Hong.
"It's hard to say, but it will be easier to handle this way. If we go to Yunzhong County, no matter whether Zhang Bao is killed or not, he will not be able to escape our hands."
Ge Hong nodded.
"But sir, we have placed a lot of troops on the border of Shanqian County now. Why don't we send troops directly to Shanqian County instead of going to Yunzhong County?"
"Does the governor still know about our garrison?"
Wang Yunhong said very doubtfully.
"I'm afraid that the governor is also dissatisfied with our Beihai County recently. We have no choice and we still have to go."
"In this way, let the troops near Shanqian County withdraw. Otherwise, we have to send troops to Yunzhong County and Liaozhou, and there are not enough manpower. If they want to attack Shanqian County, there is no point in us continuing to retain people. "
Ge Hong said to Wang Yunhong.
"Sir, should we delay this for a while?"
Wang Yunhong asked tentatively.
"There's no need. After the governor and others go to Liaozhou, they won't care about this anymore."
"We need to capture Yunzhong County as soon as possible. Before they can react, we directly send troops to Sanhe County and Hehe County. In this way, even if the governor finds out later, he won't care too much."
Ge Hong said slowly.
"Report!"
"grown ups!"
"News from Yunzhong County!"
At this moment, a person hurriedly ran in.
"Um?"
"what's the situation?"
Ge Hong stood up quickly.
Since the last time Cheng Maoye was asked to attack Zhang Bao, Ge Hong and the others have been waiting for news from Yunzhong County.
"Sir, there is news from Yunzhong County. Three nights ago, there was a chaos in the county government. I heard that all the doctors in the city were summoned."
Ge Hong's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Did you succeed?"
"How is Zhang Bao?"
Ge Hong asked quickly.
"We don't know the specific news, but our people are still there to inquire. The entire county has been put under martial law. The gate of the county was closed the next day, so our people rushed out to report the news as soon as possible."
The visitor said to Ge Hong.
"good!"
"No matter what, if you call the doctor, he will definitely succeed. If he gets even a little bit of poison, he will definitely die."
"No matter how many doctors we call, it won't work."
"Since the city gate is now open, either Cheng Maoye has been caught, or he has already thought of an escape route and escaped long ago."
Ge Hong was pacing very excitedly.
"Sir, do you think Zhang Bao is dead?"
"Killed by Cheng Maoye? But why has no accurate news come out?"
Wang Yunhong asked Ge Hong.
"Probably!"
"It can only be true if there is no news. Don't even think about it. If Zhang Bao dies, then the entire Heyang County will be over. They will definitely find ways to suppress the news."
Ge Hong said to Wang Yunhong.
"Sir, there is a group of people gathering in Yunzhong County. I heard they are going to Liaozhou."
The visitor remembered something and said to Ge Hong.
"snort!"
"You want to hide it!"
"If Zhang Bao was still alive, how could he let his troops go to Liaozhou so quickly?"
"You must want to hide the news that Zhang Bao was killed!"
"quick!"
"Immediately send more people to Yunzhong County to find out the news. Be sure to find out about Zhang Bao's situation!"
Ge Hong waved his hand and said to Wang Yunhong.
"yes!"
"If Zhang Bao hadn't died, he would have kept looking for someone to treat him. If he had died, there would have been some flaws."
"Sir, now is a good opportunity for us. Should we take advantage of this opportunity to capture Heyang County?"
Wang Yunhong asked Ge Hong.
"no!"
"Now the governor has asked all counties to send troops. This is both a test and a way to establish authority. I must send people."
"As for Heyang County, we have now been asked to attack Yunzhong County. This is a signal. At least on the surface, there is no need to be so impatient."
"In this case, I immediately wrote to the governor. I will personally lead five thousand troops to Yunzhong County. I will definitely capture Yunzhong County."
"As for Liaozhou, just send a thousand soldiers and horses to do what you want."
"The rest of Beihai County will be left to you."
Ge Hong stood up as he spoke.
…
The border between Liaozhou and Hezhou.
Outside Governor Zhu Yue's big account, various intelligences were constantly coming in.
For the current governor.
After so many years of dormancy and the intelligence network he has established over the years, he can stay informed of world affairs without leaving home.
"grown ups!"
"Dongzhou has sent 10,000 troops and entered Liaozhou from the east. I heard that they have already fought with scattered grassland barbarians."
"grown ups!"
"The Taizhou troops have not moved yet!"
"grown ups!"
"Ten thousand cavalry from the Prairie Kelie tribe are coming towards Liaozhou."
"grown ups!"
"People from several of our counties have successively sent troops to assemble here. Judging from the current situation, there is basically no problem."
"grown ups--"
"Wait a minute, there is no problem with the troops in Heyang County?"
"Has the troops from Heyang County been dispatched?"
"Also, how many troops did Ge Hong send?"
The governor Zhu Yue interrupted the visitor.
"Yes, sir!"
"According to the information received so far, Ge Hong from Beihai County has sent a thousand troops, and another person has sent news that Ge Hong will personally lead five thousand troops to attack Yunzhong County according to your instructions."
One person said to Zhu Yue.
"hehe!"
"Good one follows my instructions."
"When rushing to aid Liaozhou, they only sent a thousand men and horses, but when they attacked a small Yunzhong County, they brought five thousand men and horses, this Ge Hong."
"Where is Heyang County?"
"How many of them came?"
Zhu Yue asked calmly.
"Lord Qi, there are two thousand people, all cavalry, led by Wu Dayong."
One person said to Zhu Yue.
"Two thousand cavalry?"
"interesting."
"Zhang Bao didn't lead the team himself this time?"
Zhu Yue asked with a smile.
"Sir, judging from the situation, something seems to have happened in Heyang County."
The visitor said to Zhu Yue.
