Chapter seven hundred and sixty eight: looting

"County Master, it's not good, it's not good!" County Magistrate Han Guang almost rolled and rushed into the backyard of the county government, frightening Han Zhike, the county magistrate who was leisurely playing Ba Duanjin in the yard to train his body.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the sky has fallen?" Han Zhike, who stood up straight, shouted angrily.

Han Guang swallowed and said pale, "County Master, the sky is really falling. Someone came from Pangjiazhuang to ask for help, saying that the Dongting bandits had come here, so please send someone to support quickly."

After hearing Han Guang's words, Han Zhike felt it was incredible. Dongting bandits? Pang Wen, the owner of Pangjiazhuang, was the biggest bandit in Dongting, but immediately, he shivered and his face changed suddenly.

"Who is the bandit who came to report the message and said that he didn't say it? What flag is it?"

"It's Zheng Wenchang, who was playing the flying fish flag." Han Guang said.

As his legs became weak, Han Zhike almost sat on the ground. Pang Wenquan went out to deal with Zheng Wenchang and Pan Shan. Why did Zheng Wenchang come to the door now?

"How many water bandits have come ashore?" Qiangzi calmed down and continued to ask.

"The people who came to ask for help said there were thousands of people, and they were very vast."

His body shook again, and Han Zhike stood up straight: "Continue to send someone to inquire."

"County Master, what should we do? Will we go to Pangjiazhuang?" Han Guang asked.

"Have you got into your mind?" Han Zhike thought to slap the Harry-stricken county lieutenant in front of him. Since the defeat of the E soldiers and Qian Feng, Zhu Youzhen's army swept across the country. The order above the entire Hanshou County has basically collapsed. There are only hundreds of soldiers, so what can I use to compete with thousands of bandits. "Guancai City Gate, gather all the soldiers, summon all the young and strong, go up to the city, and tell them that if the water bandits are killed in, everyone will die."

"Yes, yes!" Han Guang ran away.

Seeing Han Guang's back moving away, Han Zhike could no longer hold on. He walked under the eaves and sat on the cold steps, his hands trembling.

It would be best if Pang Wen and Zheng Wenchang were in a wrong way. If so, Pang Wen got the news and immediately turned around. Hanshou County was still saved.

What if Pang Wen lost to Zheng Wenchang on Dongting Lake?

No, it cannot be like this. Pang Wen is the most powerful water bandit in Dongting Lake. How could he lose to Zheng Wenchang!

This must not be the case.

However, the bad news came one after another.

The spy saw the bandits holding the flying fish flag conquered Pangjiazhuang, slaughtered them all in the village, and then looted the entire village. What scared Han Zhike the most was Pang Wen's body hanging high above the mast of the largest ship of the bandits by the lake.

Then, the spies saw thousands of bandits rushing towards the county town.

Despair almost defeated Han Zhike.

Pang Wen actually lost like this? This is the fundamental reason why he can gain a foothold in front of Prince Zhu San. Without Pang Wen’s team, what are you going to be?

If this is not abyss of despair, then the following news almost made Han Zhike faint. Han Guang ran away, and opened the city gate with the only few hundred soldiers in the county town, ran away in a row.

Han Guang's run immediately triggered a group effect. The people in the county, with their families, rushed out of the city. Who is not afraid of Dongting Water Bandits?

In the past, Pang Wen was in Hanshou County, so naturally there were no water bandits here to disturb him. But now, the one who came is Feiyuqi.

After a while, Han Zhike suddenly jumped up and ran to the back house.

If you don’t run away at this time, when will you wait? Will you be hung on the boat like Pang Wen, showing off your power? As for the agreement with His Highness Zhu San, you must have life, right?

When Zheng Wenchang arrived in Hanshou County, he was facing a city without any resistance at all. Almost all the people who could run away ran away. What surprised him even more was that the grain warehouse and arsenal in the county town were actually left for him intact.

Zheng Wenchang made a fortune this time. After conquering Pangjiazhuang, he raised millions of gold and silver worth more than 100,000 stones of grain in the village. Although there was not so much money in Hanshou County, he needed more food. More importantly, he took away the arsenal of the entire Hanshou County. In such a world, there was no need to be too much.

In less than a month, Zheng Wenchang gathered Pan Shan's troops and the temporary reorganization of the original Pang Wen, with nearly 5,000 people. He swept through Anxiang County, Li County, Taoyuan County, Linli County and other areas along the West Dongting Lake, robbed countless money and food, and hundreds of boats were loaded and then returned to his base camp.

When they left, the land was covered in sore faces. All the things they could take away were taken away, and all the things they could not take away were burned. After they left, they all turned into raging fires and rolling smoke.

Zheng Wenchang didn't want to leave a slight amount of supplies to the upcoming Zhu Youzhen's army. Instead, he threw the bandit-infested people from several counties to Zhu Youzhen, giving Zhu Youzhen a headache.

As for the life and death of these people now, they are not within Zheng Wenchang's consideration at all.

At this time, Qian Biao, the governor of Yueyang, was gathering the troops he could assemble in Yueyang and recruiting all the young and strong men who could find to form an army. Unlike other local gentry, officials could surrender and escape, he had no place to run. No one would like to go there, and maybe others would even offer him to Zhu Youzhen in exchange for peace.

Besides, he, who had the hatred of destroying his family and destroying Zhu Youzhen, was full of hatred at this time. How to take revenge filled his whole mind.

All the wealthy and wealthy families around Yueyang were sent by him to invite them into Yueyang City. The family members were detained, and the servants were trained into the army. Those who knew the truth gave half of their wealth as military funds. Those who didn't know the truth were cut off, and all their wealth was confiscated. At this moment, Qian Biao completely lost face. He was either a comrade or an enemy. He would never tolerate someone stabbing him in the back. He wanted to tie everyone to his chariot, either to die or live together.

In one month, Qian Biao actually gathered nearly 10,000 troops in Yueyang. Although only 3,000 elite troops were his headquarters and the core that he could rely on, he did not think about fighting with Zhu Youzhen's troops and defending the city. Ten thousand troops could always support him with sufficient food and grass supply.

As for whether he could win this war? He didn't think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.

Even Ezhou City has been destroyed, so what can Yueyang do?

But what can he do? Wash his neck and wait for Zhu Youzhen to chop it?

If a dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall, and if a rabbit is anxious, he will bite people!

Be a monk and hit the bell for a day, and live for a day, and then you will be able to fuck him for a day.

"Father, Mr. Liu is here." Qian Bin, the eldest son wearing armor, strode in and bowed. Now the Qian family is full of males, and only he and his eldest son Qian Bin are left.

"Come in quickly." Qian Biao said.

The road is a long way to know the horsepower, and it is the hearts of people over time. When everyone was panicked at the beginning of this disaster, it was this boss Liu Shaoye who came to him, offered several strategies to him, and even gave him a lot of money to him, which led to the situation in Yueyang today. If he had started a little later, the surrounding gentry and landlords would probably sell him. Now these people are trapped in Yueyang City, and their subordinates are reorganized, and their families are controlled by themselves. They can only walk along the way with themselves with their noses.

"Mr. Liu, how about it?" Seeing Liu Shaoye walking in with joy, Qian Biao felt relieved. Looking at his face, Liu Shaoye must have no time to run away this time.

"Congratulations to Qian Zhizhou! Shaoye fulfilled his mission!" Liu Shaoye bowed deeply: "A family met Zheng Wenchang and had successfully convinced this person to form an alliance with Qian Zhizhou to fight against the false Liang."

A few days ago, the Dongting Water Bandits were in trouble. Zheng Wenchang, a big bandit in Dongting, defeated Pang Wen of Xidongting in Hengling Lake, killed his opponent and annexed Pang Wen's subordinates. Pan Shan of Dongting, Nandongting saw that the situation was not good, also surrendered to Zheng Wenchang. Eight hundred miles of Dongting immediately became Zheng Wenchang's territory. In a month, Zheng Wenchang swept across the West Dongting and the surrounding areas of Nandongting. In addition to his reputation, he also made a lot of money.

Liu Shaoye automatically invited Ying again and went to persuade Zheng Wenchang to form an alliance with him.

If Zheng Wenchang could form an alliance with him, it would be great good news for the defense of Yueyang. If there was such a navy, Zhu Youzhen's army would rest and rest and rest assured to attack Yueyang. The 800-mile Dongting was connected with all the waterways. The navy could go ashore from any place to harass and sneak attacks the enemy.

To be honest, Qian Biao had no hope for Liu Shaoye's trip this time. Because Zhu Youzhen would definitely try his best to win over this Dongting tyrant, and compared with Zhu Youzhen, his capital was too weak. In fact, whenever he thought of Zheng Wenchang's promise to Zhu Youzhen, he was afraid that Yue Yang would be really going to be finished. Whenever he thought of this, he could not help but sweat. In Qian Biao's opinion, Liu Shaoye went, just a dead horse was just a living horse.

"He agreed, why did he agree? What conditions did he want?" Qian Biao, who was completely blinded by joy, almost blurted out and asked, "Mr. Liu, would he be cheating?"

"The things here are a bit complicated!" Liu Shaoye looked at Qian Biao with a smile and said, "It will take a while to make it clear. But one thing is certain is that Zheng Wenchang will be your die-hard ally of Qian Zhizhou from now on."
