It was already noon when Xu Ping walked out of the valley, and the bright sun was soaking that his skin was stinging. Tan Hu helped him get on the horse, and Xu Ping rode his horse straight ahead of the military formation.

"I have met the military envoy!" Han Daocheng, Zhang Rong and others who arrived first crossed their hands and sang loudly.

Xu Pingzhe immediately stepped forward and saw Huang Ping'an and others.

Huang Ping'an had met Xu Ping before, and hurriedly brought his people up to salute: "The officials in charge of the Xia Dynasty, Huang Ping'an, and his subordinates, will pay homage to the throne!"

Xu Ping nodded and said, "No need to be polite. Lead the way and go to your village to talk about things!"

Huang Ping'an agreed and turned around and went first.

Xu Ping said to the people around him: "Zhongrui Army and Anyuan Army stationed outside the village, and they will be stationed on the left and right. Gao Daquan came up to lead the second command of the village soldiers to station on the other side of the Mingjiang River. Zhang Rong led the first command of the village soldiers to follow me into the village. Everything will follow the previous instructions. Han Daocheng, you can divide two teams of troops to collect ferries along the Mingjiang River, and you must not delay it!"

Everyone agreed and went to their own army.

After Zhang Rong made an arrangement, Xu Ping whispered to him: "Follow me to enter the village. You arrange someone to stay in the granary in the village. Don't make any mistakes! After the military rations we brought, if the grain has not been transported over, it is a life-saving place. Be careful!"

After saying that, Xu Ping rode his horse and ran towards Qianlongzhai with Huang Ping'an.

When they entered Qianlongzhai, Xu Ping saw that there were no pedestrians on the street, and every family closed their doors and shook his head. These ordinary people only knew that they were afraid when they saw the army, but they didn't know that they were here to help them. They didn't know whether they would bid farewell or curse when they left one day.

After entering the Zhizhai Yamen, several servants had already burned the incense and knelt on the ground and dared not look up.

Xu Ping looked at the desk of the servant and the incense table and sneered slightly. Huang Ping'an came to worship his god, but when he entered the wrong temple gate, he liked delicious food and drinks, but he didn't like incense.

He got off the horse and went straight into the village hall. Xu Ping sat down, and Huang Ping'an brought people to worship.

Xu Ping said: "Huangzhidong, it is difficult to walk from Taiping County to here. I came here a few days ago to avoid missing the time. Later, you will tell the people in the village not to panic, and everything is as good as usual."

Huang Ping'an should be.

Xu Ping said again: "Also, the mountain road is difficult and it is inconvenient to carry food and grass. I will trouble you."

After hearing this, Huang Ping'an complained in his heart. How could he afford a large army of more than 2,000 people in his small village? After thinking for a while, he said hard: "Shangguan, our Qianlongdong is a small place with barren land and sparse people. There is really not much food and grass in the village. I am afraid that it will be impossible for the imperial army to handle it for a few days."

"Oh, what you said makes sense. Let's do this. I will write a few warrants later. You will send someone to Shangsizhou and Simingzhou respectively, so that their magistrates will bring food and grass when they come, and let Yongpingzhai inform the subordinate prefectures and counties as they do as they do. There is no need to go to Zhongzhou, I have already explained it when I came."

Huang Ping heard this and said, "I'll obey the order!"

After asking about the current situation in Qianlongdong, Xu Ping asked Huang Ping'an to go out for business and occupied Zhizhaiya as a temporary garrison.

However, Huang Anming left Luobai County and did not dare to stop and return to Simingzhou. He thought about secretly sending people to Qianlongdong to meet with Huang Zongxiang in Shangsizhou, and went to the mountain road to harass the Zhongrui army who went to Qianlongdong. Because he wanted to hide the Yongping Village troops stationed here, he was delayed for a while. As a result, before he even set out from Simingzhou, he received the news that Xu Ping led his troops to Qianlongdong, so he had to stop.

Two days later, someone from Qianlongdong sent Xu Ping's order, asking Simingzhou to send 100 people to Longdong to deliver food and grass. Huang Anming saw it, sneered, and tore it up casually. He also wanted food and grass, but on the 25th, he would pretend to be sick and not go there to see what would happen to Xu Ping.

Huang Zongxiang, Shangsizhou, received news earlier than Huang Anming, and brought his men halfway. As a result, subordinates who were close to Qianlongdong came to report the news, saying that a large number of troops in the court had arrived in Qianlongdong. Huang Zongxiang had no choice but to bring the people back in disappointment. He had already made up his mind to ignore Xu Ping, so why did he recruit local officials from all over the country on November 25, and he could still come and capture him if he refused to leave?

It only took a day to return to Shangsizhou, and the people sent from Qianlongdong arrived.

After reading Xu Ping's order, he said that Shangsizhou was in the upper reaches of Qianlongdong and could borrow water transportation, and the most food was distributed. Although Xu Ping said that these foods and grass were temporarily borrowed by Xidong Tuijue and would be repaid in the future, Huang Zongxiang was still furious and tore the order up and was still not relieved. In anger, he chopped off the head of the sender.

On the morning of November 16, Xu Ping was discussing the situation around Qianlongdong with Zhang Rong, Gao Daquan, Han Dacheng and others in the Zhizhai Hall. Huang Ping'an ran in panic and shouted loudly: "Shangguan, something big is wrong! Shangsizhou is going to rebel!"

Xu Ping looked at Huang Ping'an with a terrified look on his face and shouted, "If you have something to say, why is it bad for me!"

Huang Ping'an was stunned. Seeing Xu Ping's bad expression, he hurriedly said, "I'm not saying Shangguan is not good, but Huang Zongxiang from Shangsizhou is not good, and he is going to rebel!"

Huang Zongxiang has never been obeyed and has never come to see him for so many years. Xu Ping has long been dissatisfied with him. After listening to Huang Ping'an's words, he said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Explain it clearly! What did he do and you say he will rebel?"

Huang Ping'an finally calmed down, tidied up his official robe, bowed and bowed: "Go back to Shangguan, a few days ago, I followed Shangguan's instructions and sent someone to Shangsizhou to send you a warrant. Huang Zongxiang's jackal behavior, tore up Shangguan's warrant to pieces, and killed the person who sent the letter before he sent the head back! The poor man who sent the letter grew up with me since he was a child, and I saw him like a son!"

Hearing the news, Xu Ping stood up. It was so amazing. I had heard that Huang Zongxiang was domineering, but Xu Ping didn't expect that he was lawless to reach this point. He tore up the warrant and killed the messenger. He really wanted to rebel. Does this guy really think that he was just scary when he brought his troops here? He was confident that his Shangsizhou was a stunning battle?

"Who is sending the head back? Bring the person to me!"

Seeing Xu Ping's face as iron as iron, Huang Ping'an felt a little panicked and hurriedly said, "The people in Shang Sizhou just sent their heads across the border. They didn't get close to here and had already gone back. It was the young subordinate who came back to report."

Xu Ping took a deep breath: "Okay, I know the matter, there will be arrangements for you, you can go down."

Huang Ping'an was in doubt. Could it be that Shangguan would endure such a thing? What's the use of bringing so many soldiers? But he didn't dare to ask, so he had to leave the hall.

Watching Huang Ping'an go out, Xu Ping didn't say anything.

Shangsizhou was originally named Qianzhou. It was originally the Sui Dynasty general Liu Fang opened the way to Jiaozhi and opened the road there. During the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period, Li Hongjie, the Duke of Ping of Qing Dynasty, sent Qinzhou to guard Ning Shijing to reopen the former Liu Fang road, and set up Qianzhou there. After entering the Song Dynasty, Shangsizhou was established, and the area was abolished and merged with Qianzhou, which governed the area of ​​two or three hundred miles. The area was continuous, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the natives were rugged and fierce, which was the most difficult to control.

Before the roads to the south of Yongzhou were opened, the Central Plains dynasty entered the Zuojiang area mostly by Qinzhou sea routes. Shangsizhou was just about to rush, with many passes and a key place in Zuojiang. Now Liu Fang's old road has long been abandoned, but there are quite a lot of defense facilities left there, and the place also ignores the court with natural dangers.

When he came to his senses, he saw everyone looking at him, Xu Ping smiled bitterly: "The first one to jump out was going to Sizhou. He didn't even have the chance to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. He would be chewing the tough guys in one go."

After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Rong said: "Officials don't have to worry. They can never avoid what they should come. Among these Tuzhou, Shangsizhou is the most unruly. If they destroy it, the rest of the place will become honest."

"That's right." Xu Ping nodded and looked at Gao Daquan, "Gao Daquan, you will set off today with your men, travel lightly and quickly, and hit Shangsizhou. Here is seventy miles away from Shangsizhou. I will restrict you to arrive tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, break his village and take Huang Zongxiang's head back!"

Gao Daquan stood up and replied loudly.

Xu Ping said again: "If you capture there, remember to transport all the stored grains in their state to Qianlongdong. If you don't have enough manpower, just catch the local people in their state!"

"I understand!" Gao Daquan nodded and turned out of the Zhizhai Hall.

Before coming, I have made various plans. Xu Ping’s least hope for it to be in Sizhou first. It is precisely because of this that the plan is the most fully implemented. There is no way, God likes to play with people. The more you don’t want something to happen, the more you need to put it on your head. You have to bite the bullet and spend more effort on what you don’t want to happen in advance.

Shang Sizhou was on the other side of Mingjiang. Gao Daquan was arranged to the other side of the river after he arrived because he was the one who fought in the plan. By the same token, Simingzhou was in trouble and Zhongrui Army and Anyuan Army. There were also Yongping Village troops, which was the most relaxing to cooperate inside and outside. Who knew that although Huang Anming did not reply, he honestly released the person who sent the letter and could not hit him with the first punch, which made Xu Ping feel regretful.

Among the four villages of Zuojiang Road, Qianlongzhai was the latest, and the jurisdiction was the least. There were only three places, Zhongzhou, Shangsizhou and Qianlongdong. Xu Ping of Zhongzhou had long been in his hands, and Qianlongdong is now in control. However, the remaining Shangsizhou emperors are far away, and it is time to solve the problem.

As soon as Gao Daquan's troops moved, the peerless man from Shang Sizhou went back to report to Huang Zongxiang. However, Xu Ping was very cautious. Han Daocheng scattered more than 100 cavalrymen. As long as he saw a horse riding area of ​​ten miles around, no matter who was arrested, he would have to run away.

Local natives are good at walking mountain roads, but they can't run back seventy miles away. When the eyeliner returns to Shangsizhou, it was already the next morning.

Huang Zongxiang got up early in the morning and was eating a cooked fat chicken in the village hall. A servant ran in and shouted loudly: "Master, the army from Qianlongdong is here!"

Huang Zongxiang pushed the chicken, stood up and shouted, "How many people have come? When did they set off? When did they arrive?"

The dick gasped and said, "I heard that it was a commander, and I don't know how many people were. I left yesterday morning and I could only arrive at us the day after tomorrow. But I heard the lectures of a few people who came back to report the news. The troops who came walked very quickly, and maybe they would arrive tomorrow afternoon!"

"Zhi Niang, they are here! Go down to pass on my military orders, and all the soldiers and horses in the village are ready. There are also the villages outside, so that their male dynasty will come to the village before tomorrow night. We will compete with the soldiers and horses of the Tijuan Department!"

Seeing Huang Zongxiang's eyes glowing, the servant said, "The master, the court has all the soldiers and soldiers, we--"

Huang Zongxiang slapped the table and said, "What are you afraid of? Their people come to us, and they have no food to eat and drink. As long as we keep the village for a few days, they will be hungry and hungry to go back! At that time, we will go out to chase them again, so that they will never come back!"

(I have a cold and have a severe headache, so I can't write it all at once. That's all today. I'll do my best to compensate you on the weekend. Please forgive me.)
