Linquan County.
The yamen was littered with corpses.
Zhang Bao protected Xixue behind him and looked at the county magistrate's men who had been compressed into a small circle in front of him.
The magistrate of Linquan County had already been hacked to death.
"explain!"
"Who asked you to attack the adults?"
Geng Ming said to the remaining people in the middle.
"If you want to kill, kill!"
"Where did all this nonsense come from?"
"Brothers, rush out and kill Zhang Bao!"
The leader yelled loudly.
Several people in the middle rushed towards the outside to kill.
A few others seemed to have made up their minds and rushed towards Zhang Bao and Xixue.
But those who surrounded them were not only Geng Ming's men, but also Zhang Bao's guards, who were already waiting with bows and crossbows.
After a while, there were corpses everywhere.
On the night that Zhang Bao and the others moved into Linquan County, the magistrate of Linquan County led a group of people to attack Zhang Bao and the others.
They simply didn't care about the weak ones, just climbed over the wall and killed them with their swords.
There were only two to three hundred people.
But after Zhang Bao and the others experienced what happened in Pingyang County, they also knew that there would be people from Cao Kang in these counties, and they had been on guard for a long time.
In addition, this time, Geng Ming also brought dozens of people, all of whom were experts in kung fu.
Although there are many people in Linquan County, almost all of them were fucked in one meeting.
Zhang Bao already knew that Cao Kang was behind this, so there was no need to keep him like this.
However, taking the initiative to attack Zhang Bao now can at least show that there are some people here who are still very loyal to Cao Kang.
This is a difficult thing to do.
Under this situation, it is difficult to influence and use it for one's own purposes like Huang Chenzhi did at that time.
At this time, the only way to kill can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also deter other people!
After all, Zhang Baozhen didn't expect that the two county governments in a row were all Cao Kang's people. I really don't know if it was a backlash or because Cao Kang was more powerful.
Zhang Bao was a little unexpected. Before, Zhang Bao thought it was just one and a half, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.
The county guards and magistrates of Dongzhou did not have many troops, and the troops were all controlled by a few generals. Therefore, when Yang Qian was in Dongzhou at that time, he did not care about Cao Kang's arrangements for these official positions.
It cannot shake Yang Qian's foundation.
But now it was Zhang Bao's turn, and he was gradually exposed.
"grown ups!"
"All the rebels have been killed!"
"Do you want me to mobilize some more troops to protect you?"
Geng Ming came to Zhang Bao and said.
Originally, when Fang Fu sent him to select smart generals to protect Zhang Bao, Geng Ming was a little unimpressed.
Thinking that they have conquered Dongzhou now, those people cannot go against them.
But he didn't expect that the Linquan County magistrate's sudden attack made him very scared.
These people are not inactive.
But I didn’t wait for the big fish.
Now that this treasure has just arrived, they can't wait.
Don't think about it, there must be more later. If something happens to Zhang Bao, then Geng Mingke will be finished.
"Need not!"
"Only a small number of us can attract them to take action. If there are more people, it will make them afraid and dormant again. It will be even harder to find them in the future."
"In that case, let's just walk all the way!"
Zhang Bao said to Geng Ming.
"yes!"
"Sir, I understand!"
"We will protect you to the death!"
Geng Ming nodded.
Zhang Bao is using himself as bait to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Dongzhou.
I believe that anyone who has any ideas will not be able to help but take action when they see Zhang Bao and his friends with only dozens of people around them.
It's just that this Zhang Bao is a little too bold.
There are only so many people who dare to come out to seduce. If something happens, it will be doomed.
"You send people back immediately and bring me people from Hezhou. We will clean up all the way and let our people fill official positions in various counties immediately."
"Take care of the aftermath."
"It looks like there will be a lot of vacancies along the way."
Zhang Bao said lightly.
"yes!"
Several people immediately mounted their horses and left.
"Is everything okay over there, Uncle He?"
Zhang Bao turned to Xixue and asked.
"It's okay, I'm not awake yet..."
Xixue said to Zhang Bao.
When he arrived in Linquan County, Lao He got himself drunk.
According to Lao He, even if you are drunk, you won't feel anything.
So I have no idea what just happened.
"Forget it, let's have another night's rest."
"Tomorrow morning, continue to the next county seat!"
Zhang Bao thought for a while and said to Geng Ming.
…
Sunan County.
Fang Fu was frowning as he looked at the information sent to him.
originally.
According to Fang Fu's estimation, there is no way they can remain in a stalemate with the Huizhou soldiers and horses for a while longer.
In fact, to put it bluntly, a stalemate is also a kind of battle.
What is competing is the temptation and patience of both sides, and what is competing is the materials and food behind both sides.
Fang Fu knew.
Our side is now in a stalemate at the border of Dongzhou. Not only can we use this to further integrate Dongzhou, but it can also allow Dongzhou's troops to work together.
For myself, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
On the other hand, look at Huizhou.
Their troops were from Xiazhou and the Japanese side, and were not from Huizhou themselves.
Zhang Hongtao, the governor of Huizhou, did not participate in their affairs.
They didn’t say they wouldn’t send food and grass. Every time they sent some food and grass to Xiazhou’s soldiers and horses, they would send some, but it was just a little. You said they didn’t have it. They did send it. You said they did. The little food and grass they sent , not even enough rice for one meal.
As for the Japanese, there is absolutely nothing.
no way.
The Japanese could only find a way to transport grain from Wuyi County.
The cost to the Japanese was quite high.
Originally, the Japanese had a good plan. As long as the war started, they could plunder unscrupulously in Huizhou. And after entering Dongzhou, they could directly rob Dongzhou.
After all, this wartime is completely different from non-wartime.
But I never expected it.
Didn't make it!
It was a stalemate.
The men and horses on Xiazhou's side were ordered by Cao Kang to wait to attack at the same time as the men and horses on Liu Xiu's side on the west road.
The Japanese simply did not dare to attack on their own.
He urged Cao Kang over and over again, but Cao Kang remained unmoved, saying that the time had not come yet.
There is nothing we can do.
I could only wait patiently.
This situation is what Fang Fu is willing to see.
But the recent news coming from Huizhou is not optimistic.
Xiazhou's troops are on the move!
