There was a sudden sound of fighting in this place, and Li Hao immediately thought of the Cheng family. After all, Cheng Shaoshang and the others did encounter the scouts sent by Fan Chang near Qing County in their original trajectory.
Although Li Hao has sent people to keep an eye on them, after all, the manpower at his disposal is limited, and it is impossible to really target all of Fan Chang's people. It is normal for some small groups of troops to leave quietly without being discovered.
But if it was really the Cheng family, it would be fine. At least they had the troops and maidservants provided by Li Hao, so they couldn't suffer any disadvantages in the face of small-scale scouts.
But if ordinary people encountered this kind of situation, it would be really troublesome if there were not enough guards around them, so Li Haodang even took the Tunqi and galloped over.
But when Li Hao and others really rushed nearby, they found that the scene in front of them was still a bit unexpected. There were too many people who were besieging them.
Normally speaking, even if a team of scouts adds more weight, it will not be close to four or five hundred people. Instead, they will still be wearing standard equipment.
The people who were besieged inside were indeed the Cheng family. After all, Li Hao could still recognize the troops he sent out at a glance.
This time, Li Hao really wanted to call back the people sent to monitor Fan Chang's troops and beat them up. How do you see this?
Immediately, Li Hao didn't care about anything else and immediately led the Tunqi to charge. After all, he only had a hundred Tunqi under his command. If he didn't defeat this group of enemies immediately, it would be really troublesome if the enemy formed a formation later. .
After all, Fan Chang also had elite soldiers, and Li Hao didn't want to lead people into the battle. In that case, even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory.
Fortunately, this group of rebels probably didn't expect that a soldier would appear from behind. Without any precaution, they were rushed back and forth from the side by Li Hao and his men.
This move directly destroyed their morale. At this time, only one person came out from the rebels, trying to restrain the others from forming a formation.
When Li Hao saw him, he took out his bow and arrow from his horse and shot it. After watching the man fall, Li Hao led his men to charge twice more, completely breaking up the wave of rebels and running away.
At this stage, Li Hao can rest assured. After all, at this point, even if Sun Wu was alive, he would not be able to gather the defeated troops in a short time.
Not to mention that many of these rebels were killed and injured during the charge, which is even less worth mentioning.
Arranging some people to continue the pursuit and ordering them to capture a few prisoners, Li Hao planned to ask how this group of people came here quietly.
And he went to the Cheng family to see how many casualties his troops had suffered. This was someone Li Hao had worked hard to bring out for several years. It would be really heartbreaking to lose a lot.

When Li Hao approached, all the members of the Yuan family present wanted to salute Li Hao. Even the people who were originally injured and fell to the ground struggled to get up.
Seeing them like this, Li Hao felt a lot relieved. After all, although he couldn't count the specific number of people, it seemed that there were still many who could move.
But then he said: "Okay, don't do these false rituals. If you are injured, bandage it quickly. Don't waste your time."
This time you have bravely killed the enemy and protected the Lord. You will be rewarded heavily when you return to the capital, and the pensions for those who died in battle will be doubled. "
Hearing this, everyone thanked them in unison, but Cheng Shaoshang suddenly appeared from the side and said: "My third aunt and I are not your Yuan family, can we be considered protectors?"
Looking at this elusive guy, and there are no military servants around him, he probably just ran over while avoiding everyone's attention when Li Hao attracted their attention.
Li Hao couldn't help but lecture him: "You are very brave. You dare to run around alone in this place where the fighting just ended. If any rebels are wounded but not dead and hide in this crowd, you know what will happen." How dangerous is it?
What about the maidservants who protect you personally? How do they protect people? "
At this time, the maidservant discovered that Cheng Shaoshang had run away and was already chasing after him. When she heard this, she quickly apologized to Li Hao: "It was my fault as a guard, please punish me."
Originally, Li Hao just wanted to show off to Cheng Shaoshang. After all, Li Hao also knew that Cheng Shaoshang was used to being alone, and he was so bold that he even made the tiger talisman privately. It was too difficult for her to stay on her own terms.
So through this incident, I let her know that her choice will affect others, so that she can be more cautious in her future work. It can be regarded as Li Hao doing something to help Yuan Shen.
But when I saw that among the martial maids who came over, there were a few strangers who looked at a loss and did not apologize with the others.
Li Hao's anger suddenly rose. He had only let them leave for a few days, but his majesty had dropped to this point.
He was about to rebuke angrily, but at this moment Cheng Shaoshang stood up and said, "I just ran down secretly while they were not paying attention. What does it have to do with them?"
Facing Cheng Shaoshang, Li Hao calmed down his anger slightly and said, "Their duty is to protect you, but in the end they can't even protect the person they want to protect. Such dereliction of duty should be punished."
After saying that, he asked the maidservants: "If I punish you for this, will you be convinced?"
The maidservants did not dare to object and persuaded in unison, except of course those few who had not apologized just now.
Now Li Hao couldn't sit still, so he asked those people: "It seems that a few of them are really dissatisfied. It seems that my dignity is still a little bit worse after all."
Upon seeing this scene, the maidservants immediately guessed that Li Hao had misunderstood and immediately wanted to explain.
But he didn't win over Cheng Shaoshang: "They are the maids given by my father, not your Yuan family's maids. Why should I obey you? Maybe you still want to interfere with my Cheng family's affairs.
And I haven’t talked about you yet. Third aunt and I are not from your Yuan family, so don’t say anything about protecting the Lord. "
Hearing this, Li Hao looked at the other maids first, and when they saw this, they quickly explained: "They were indeed arranged by General Cheng, just for convenience, and because the Yuan family's equipment was more complete, they were all put on This outfit.”
Seeing that the situation was true, Li Hao said nothing more, but said to his maidservant: "I can't control other people, but you should still be punished, but now I still need your efforts, so I will note it down for now, and wait until I return to the capital. Dispose of them together."
Then he said to Cheng Shaoshang: "As for you, don't come and argue with me. If you have anything to say, just tell my brother directly.
Moreover, they themselves were injured because they were trying to save the Cheng family. Is it possible that you still want to deny it? "
When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he quickly replied: "That's not what I meant. I, Cheng Shaoshang, also know how to repay kindness. Before this trip, my father gave me a few boxes of money. I can give them all as compensation later." them.
If that's not enough, after I report back to my father, my father will also
I will make it up personally to thank all the soldiers for their help.
It's just that I think you don't know the rewards and punishments, and you are a confused person... "
"Young Shang, don't talk nonsense." Sang Shunhua finally arrived at this time, directly interrupted Cheng Shaoshang, and then said to Li Hao: "Young Shang was just an unintentional mistake, please don't blame Mr. Yuan."
Li Hao had no intention of blaming Cheng Shaoshang. After all, she was not a bad person, and she was most likely his concubine. She still had to give her the face she deserved, so he answered, "It's nothing."
After hearing Li Hao's words, Sang Shunhua felt relieved. After all, in her heart, Cheng Shaoshang was almost certain to marry Yuan Shen, so it was natural that she would not be at odds with Li Hao.
Then Sang Shunhua asked what he was concerned about: "Excuse me, Lord Yuan, who is the attacker just now? How come there is such a large group of bandits in Shu.
In addition, will there be any problems in Qing County? Zirong is in Qing County now. "
Li Hao replied: "I have some guesses about the specific situation, but I'd better wait a moment until a few prisoners are captured and I will interrogate them in detail to confirm the situation.
As for Qing County, there shouldn't be any big problems. This incident probably started in Hua County. There shouldn't be many people outside, and they won't be able to capture Qing County. "
Since Li Hao had taken it into consideration and refused to say it clearly, and then thinking that Emperor Wen's Luan Jia was very close to here, a smart man like Sang Shunhua immediately understood that something big had probably happened in Shuzhong.
Although Sang Shunhua was also worried about the old county magistrate Cheng when she heard something was going on in Hua County, she could be more or less stable as long as Cheng Zhi was fine.
So he didn't ask any more questions, and even dragged Cheng Shaoshang away who wanted to ask questions, and the maidservants naturally followed him back to protect him.
After waiting on the carriage, Sang Shunhua explained to Cheng Shaoshang the reason why Li Hao just did what he did, so as to explain to her the way of running a family, which requires clear rewards and punishments.
Cheng Shaoshang could still listen to Sang Shunhua's words.
As for Li Hao, now that he was finally able to be quieter, he began to express condolences to the wounded soldiers and waited for the captured prisoners to return.
It didn't take long for the man to arrive, and Li Hao arranged for people to start the execution. After dragging him to a distance and going back and forth several times to add officials, Li Hao came back to question him more smoothly.
This time Li Hao finally knew where this group of people came from. It turned out that it was planned in advance by Fan Chang. This guy saw that Li Hao had been struggling in Shu for so long.
Now he suddenly rushed towards Emperor Wen's Luanjia direction. Fan Chang thought that Li Hao knew something and wanted to inform Emperor Wen, so he wanted to strike first.
The troops gathered this time were the ones Fan Chang had placed outside Xiaobo during the recent period, preparing to block news about Hua County along the way.
Originally, these people were scattered on the main roads, and they were gathered because they had to deal with Li Hao. Anyway, Li Hao had a clear route along the way, so it was easy for him to ambush.
As a result, at this moment, the Cheng family ran into an ambush. In fact, if they were ordinary people, they might have let go in order to guard Li Hao.
Fortunately, the Cheng family used the Yuan family's trilogy, and the equipment symbol was recognized immediately.
Now the rebels naturally thought that this was the reinforcements called by Li Hao, so they decided to strike first and defeat the troops here, so that they would not have much advantage in fighting again after the two sides reunited.
But after this fight, the strength of the Yuan family tribe was somewhat beyond the rebels' expectations, and they turned the raid into a positional battle, and then Li Hao dug out their escape route.
After clarifying these things, Li Hao could judge that Fan Chang was about to take action, and it was necessary to quickly move troops to Emperor Wen.
But before that, they had to find a way to arrange Cheng Shaoshang and the others. After all, they couldn't keep up with Li Hao's speed.
So Li Hao asked some more questions and confirmed that there were no organized rebels around, so he immediately went to see Sang Shunhua and told him what he had just asked.
He also said: "Your Majesty's current location is not far from here. I must rush to your Majesty's place as soon as possible to move troops. I'm afraid I won't be able to escort you all the way.
But it’s not far from Qingxian County.
There are no organized rebels along the way. There will be other people escorting you to Qingxian, so there won't be any problems. Don't worry.
After arriving in Qing County, you can stay there until the incident subsides before leaving. "
Although Li Haode's suggestion was pertinent, Sang Shunhua was still worried and asked: "What's the situation in Hua County? Zirong will go to Hua County after all. He has his responsibilities, and I can't stop him. Moreover, he and the current Magistrate Cheng Lao of Hua County are like father and son, and they will definitely not sit idly by."
Seeing that Sang Shunhua was so worried, Li Hao revealed some news, hoping to reassure them: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. I have deployed troops around Hua County earlier, and Ling Zicheng is commanding the troops there. It should be worry-free.
However, since Zirong is the magistrate of Hua County appointed by His Majesty, he is responsible for guarding the territory. If he really wants to rush to Hua County, he might as well borrow some soldiers and horses from Qing County to accompany him and find Ling Zicheng for peace.
I believe that as long as we don't go too deep, there won't be much danger. Moreover, most of Qingxian's soldiers and horses are infantry and they don't move very fast. If we can find a way, we can make some changes.
At that time, the troops I requested from His Majesty will be in place, and there will be no danger. "
Sang Shunhua naturally understood what Li Hao said, but he knew Cheng Zhide better. He would not deliberately shrink back after learning the news about Hua County.
