Wang Xiaobo, Zhang Yu, Li Shun and others agreed with Chu Lihan's suggestion, so they supported him to attack Pengshan County first. The more important point is that Chu Lihan has internal contacts in Pengshan County.
Dou Shengxing and Li Taotao from the Kowloon Society are living in seclusion in Yujia Village in Pengshan County. Huo Ji, the third boss, happens to be a guest in Yujia Village in Pengshan County where Dou Shengxing and Li Taotao are located. If the three of them were in the city and coordinated with the Xing Shu army outside the city, it would be easy to capture Pengshan.
Pengshan County, Yujia Village;
Dou Shengxing and Li Taotao, who had just had dinner, walked quickly to Huo Ji's room with letters in their hands and knocked on the door; Huo Ji, who had just had dinner, returned to the room, originally planning to go to bed early. But before he could take off his shoes, he was stopped by a rapid knock on the door. He put on his shoes and went to open the door.
"Third brother, look, this is a letter from eldest brother..." Seeing Huo Ji open the door, Dou Shengxing said hurriedly without waiting for Huo Ji to speak.
Huo Ji took the letter doubtfully. After reading it, Huo Ji was so excited that his hand holding the letter trembled slightly. Chu Lihan wrote that he and several others had defected to the Xingshu Army occupying Qingcheng County, and the next step was to attack Pengshan County. He wrote a letter asking Huo Ji and Dou Shengxing to help the Xingshu army to capture Pengshan County in cooperation with foreign forces.
"Hahahaha... I didn't expect that we would have such an opportunity to achieve a career in half our lives. My eldest brother and other brothers and sisters have defected to the Xingshu Army. I also plan to follow my eldest brother and them to create another glory for our Kowloon Association. Fifth brother, Sixth sister, can you and your wife come out with us? I hope that the nine of us brothers and sisters can still work together and fight side by side." Huo Ji knew that Dou Shengxing and Li Taotao had already planned to retire. But he still couldn't help but persuade the two to come back to the world.
Dou Shengxing did not speak when he heard this, but frowned and looked at his wife Li Taotao. When the Kowloon Society collapsed more than ten years ago, the nine leaders of the Kowloon Society were hunted by the black and white factions. The couple were tired of the grievances in the world, so they did not follow Chu Lihan and the others to Qingcheng Mountain to escape. Instead, they disguised themselves to hide their identities. , hiding in Yujia Village, Pengshan County.
Years of living in seclusion have already worn away their fighting spirit, and they enjoy this comfortable pastoral life very much. Although Li Taotao is nearly forty years old, she is still beautiful, charming, and considerate. The couple is very loving.
Although the two have never had any children, they have been in a relationship of "happy at first sight, but still thrilling after a long time" for more than ten years. Dou Shengxing once promised his wife Li Taotao that he would never get involved in political affairs again.
Now the persuasion of his third brother Huo Ji made him hesitate. Although Dou Shengxing was also greedy for this comfortable rural life, he used to be ambitious and ambitious. When he learned that he still had the opportunity to build a career, he was still a little excited, but he Worrying about his wife's thoughts made him hesitate.
Li Taotao saw her husband's struggle. She couldn't bear him to make difficult choices for her, so she took her husband's arm and said softly to him: "If you want to go, I will go with you. Don't worry about me." The feeling, as long as I can be with my husband, is the same no matter where I am."
Dou Shengxing's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he held his wife's hands tightly. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He just murmured: "Taotao..."
Huo Ji on the side saw that the two of them were so deeply in love as husband and wife, and he nodded sincerely, and said with a smile: "In this way, the nine of us brothers and sisters will fight side by side again, hahahaha..."
After the three people sighed, they returned to reality. Huo Ji was the first to speak: "We still need to make a good plan about how to cooperate with Big Brother and the others inside and outside."
Dou Shengxing thought for a while, frowned and said: "With just the three of us, how useful can we be in the city? Why don't we ask my eldest brother and the others to send more people over, and when the army attacks the city, we can capture the city gate by surprise. , and then march into the city with a large army..."
Huo Ji took a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Although this strategy is sound, once Qingcheng County has been captured, and Pengshan County is so close, there must be precautions, and the interrogation of people entering the city must be very strict." . Secondly, even if we can escape the interrogation and enter the city, it will be difficult for us to get close to the city wall during the war, and the possibility of capturing the city gate will be even lower."
"Then does Third Brother have a good plan? Third Brother is very resourceful and I think he must have a good plan." Dou Shengxing said.
Huo Ji smiled and said: "The key to the success or failure of this matter lies in Qi Yuanzhen, the magistrate of Pengshan County. As a local official, he not only does not care for the people, but is also greedy and tyrannical and plunders people's wealth; Qi Yuanzhen is also good at bullying his superiors. Hiding the truth, at the beginning of this year, the imperial court sent inspection envoys to inspect the place. After Qi Yuanzhen learned the news, he hid all his property in the homes of local gentry and moved to a dilapidated private house as his own residence. Even though he didn't know the truth, he was deeply moved. The inspection documents written to him were filled with praises, and the court also gave him a plaque to reward his reputation for integrity. After the inspection envoy left, he returned all the hidden property to him. Transferred back. So the people in Pengshan called Qi Yuanzhen "Fox County Magistrate" to mock him as cunning as a fox."
"As long as we work hard, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Pengshan County. It just requires Liu Mei to work hard," Huo Jicheng said with a confident smile.
Li Taotao was stunned when he heard this and said blankly: "I wonder what Third Brother wants me to do?"
Huo Ji said: "At this time, the four gates of the county town should be carrying out strict inspections. The sixth sister is a woman, so it is easier to travel and will not attract attention. You go out of the city to find your elder brother and ask him to prepare some things and people for us. We We can easily capture Pengshan County." After saying that, Huo Ji told Li Taotao everything that needed to be explained in detail, and Li Taotao took note of it and left the city.
A few days later, Huo Ji and Dou Shengxing, dressed in casual clothes, strode into the Pengshan County Government Office, and in a majestic tone ordered the county office leader to call the county magistrate Qi Yuanzhen to come. The county magistrate Qi Yuanzhen was furious when he heard this, but when he came to the front hall and saw the two of them arrogant and arrogant, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He didn't know their identities and didn't dare to offend them rashly, so he said: "I don't know who you are. ?”
Huo Ji glanced at Huo Ji from the corner of his eye and said coldly: "Are you Qi Yuanzhen, the magistrate of Pengshan County?"
"Yes, this is my official. Who are you? Why do you come to the county government office to see me?"
Huo Ji didn't speak, and looked away coldly, ignoring Qi Yuanzhen. Dou Shengxing on the side said: "Bold, this is Lu Bin, the inspection envoy of Sichuan No. 12 Road, Mr. Lu, Guanfang who was in Chengdu Prefecture last year At the banquet in the hotel, Mr. Lu recited poems with state and county officials from various places, don’t you remember?”
