Wei Fufeng walked non-stop to the post office of Zhou Yamen.

Zhou Yahou's house is four deep and roughly divided into east and west parts. The east part is like the layout of the city, with a 100-meter-long hall similar to a street. On both sides of the hall are courtyard portals, and the innermost part is the ancestral hall where sacrifices can be made.

The western part is a 100-meter-long garden with stones, ponds, winding corridors, pavilions and pavilions. It can be imagined that the official who built the Western Garden and the state government office in the past was a refined scholar.

Wei Fufeng walked through the Yimen, stopped at the entrance of the hall, and looked inside. He saw two long lines of guards, all the way to the innermost two-story attic with cornices and ridges. He did not continue inside and left everything to his subordinates.

Wei Fufeng had a rational mentality. When the governor Yang Shoubo saw him, he might have been so angry that he would rather die than cooperate. He would not show off his power for the sake of his previous humiliation and humiliation. He would put all important things first.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Tianyu and two soldiers walked out of a house door on the left side of the hall, strode towards Wei Fufeng, and when they came to the military salute, they respectfully said: "Sir, Yang Shoubo is willing to cooperate."

"What else did he say?" Wei Fufeng asked calmly.

"He cherished his life, but he kept asking where we were from, but his subordinates ignored him." Zhang Tianyu replied.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let the guards reveal our origins." Wei Fufeng instructed, and Zhang Tianyu responded respectfully.

Wei Fufeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Zhang Tianyu, from now on you will be the military commander."

"No! Thank you for the promotion, sir." Zhang Tianyu paid respectful military salute and was promoted from general to military commander.

With Yang Shoubo willing to cooperate, Wei Fufeng obtained the military order issued by Yang Shoubo. He sent someone to take the military order to see the regiment training general guarding the state government.

The ordering soldiers told the regiment training officers that from now on, the guards inside the state government office would belong to the newly arrived troops, and the regiment training soldiers could only guard outside the state government office.

The regiment training troops were originally left by their predecessors. After reading the military orders, no one doubted it. They thought that the new governor could not be trusted, so they transferred the Shence Army to serve as internal guards, so they withdrew from the prefecture and stationed outside the prefecture to guard it.

After transferring the regiment training troops in the state government office, Wei Fufeng replaced the armored guards outside the door. The nine guards were not alert and were captured when they entered. Only then did they realize that the large number of soldiers who were put in were the enemy.

After taking control of the state government, Wei Fufeng implemented the next strategy, which was to attack Li's fort in Xicheng County as his grandfather had said, causing Li's attention to shift and causing Li to ignore the changes in the state government for a short time.

Ten strong men trained in a regiment, took the military order from the state government to go out of the city on official business, and the military order from Wei Fufeng, left the state government, and successfully left the city to where the Fufeng army was stationed.

After receiving the military order, the general of the Fufeng Army immediately set off along the Hanshui Mountains to Yinghu Town Fort.

Yinghu Lake is a freshwater lake formed by the Han River with vast waters. Li's Yinghu Town Fort is located in the Yinghu Lake area, which is a land of plenty.

In the afternoon, the Fufeng Army and 80 strong men arrived at the Yinghu Town Fort and immediately launched a feint attack. They just bent their bows and shot arrows, shouted threats, and did not actually charge to attack the city.

Yinghu Town Fort is like a small city, with a four-meter-high brick and stone wall and a city wall about one mile long. There are many brave soldiers on the wall. If you really attack the city, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

Although there was no real attack on the city, the locust-like crossbows caused dozens of casualties to the defenders.

The soldiers' armaments can only be equivalent to regiment training. If they can wear a large number of armors, it is a suspected overreach of rebellion. The Xicheng Li family does not have the ability to a large number of armaments.

The attacker's sharp offensive immediately frightened the person in charge to light a beacon and send a messenger to ask for help. Even if he did not need help, he should inform the county government of the situation.

The beacon fire has multiple relays. The beacon smoke rises from Yinghu Town Fort, and the relay beacon towers on the hilly heights are also lit subsequently.

The lookout post at Xicheng Gate in Xicheng County saw the beacon smoke rising, and the city gate officials rushed to send people to report to the prefectural government and the county government.

Wei Fufeng, who was waiting for the information, immediately issued military orders to various city gate officials after receiving the flying report.

Sixty percent of the regiments from each city gate were dispatched to train and assemble outside the west gate, and military orders were sent to the county government in the east city, ordering the county government to send 500 troops to help attack the bandits.

When the military orders came, they responded one after another. The county government was indeed paying attention to the external military strength of the state government, and made guesses based on the feedback information.

The idea of ​​​​the person in charge was also inclined to the fact that the governor did not trust the regiment training, so Yang Fugong sent 200 Yushan troops to serve as the internal guards of the state government.

The afternoon beacon fire suddenly stimulated the nerves of those in charge of the Duke's mansion, and they instinctively ordered their soldiers to gather to prepare for war.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered with weapons, and the governor's military order also arrived, ordering five hundred troops to be sent to the west gate of the city to be assigned to the Yushan army's military envoys, and to the Yinghu town fort to rush to the reinforcements to attack the bandits.

The person in charge of the Duke's Mansion did not realize that something was wrong, and his inner anxiety made him think that the governor's military order was a normal military response.

In fact, most of the Li family's food was hidden in Yinghu Town Fort. This was the foundation for the county government to maintain its power and could not be lost.

Five hundred soldiers hurried to the west gate and joined Zhang Tianyu, the so-called military envoy of the Yushan Army.

Zhang Tianyu only brought twenty Mingguang armor subordinates, plus the gathered 1,100 regiment training soldiers, and rushed to the reinforcements of Yinghu Town Fort.

On the way Zhang Tianyu led his army away from the county seat, the Fufeng Army at Yinghu Town Fort retreated, and instead ran back to Xicheng County in a slightly roundabout way. The two armies crossed each other one mile apart on the way.

When Zhang Tianyu arrived at Yinghu Town Fort, it was already approaching dusk. Although the bandit attack was gone, the reinforcements could not be allowed to return hungry.

The person in charge of the town fort, after confirming that almost all of the reinforcements came were members of his own family, allowed the reinforcements to enter the town fort to eat and spend the night.

The Fufeng Army arrived near Xicheng County at sunset. According to Wei Fufeng's military order, they hid in the forest closest to the East City Gate. They did not light a fire, ate dry food, drank mountain water, and ate pickles and bacon.

After Wei Fufeng in the city received the information, he started the next strategy. He ordered the regiment guarding the outskirts of the state government to train troops and mobilized four city gates to garrison.

Fourteen subordinates of the Southern Sichuan Army, plus sixteen strong men from Shangzhou, headed to the East City Gate. The leader of the Southern Sichuan Army was given the position of deputy military officer of the city gate team.

At the same time, military orders were also sent to the county government, ordering the county magistrate to dispatch 120 guards to guard the four city gates. The county government had a establishment of 200 guards, each under the command of the left and right county captains.

After the county magistrate received the order from the state government, he angrily cursed Li Yun. Li Yun, the left county lieutenant, took away fifty prison guards without permission, and Zhou Xiong, the right county lieutenant, took away twenty prison guards and returned to his hometown to attend the funeral for his father.

The state government ordered to dispatch one hundred and twenty guards to guard the city gate. This was a reasonable order. However, the two hundred soldiers lacked seventy guards. If another hundred and twenty guards were dispatched, the county government would be empty.

Reasonable state government military orders cannot be violated. After the county magistrate scolded him, he had no choice but to send out prison guards, send all the prison guards and government officials who had returned home, and let the government officials guard the prison instead of the prison guards.

There are more than 400 prisoners in the prison. If a riot breaks out, it will be a big mess.

After all this work, the sky turned dark, and the county magistrate, who had completed his assignment, was about to go back to the back house to eat and rest, when he suddenly saw Wei Fufeng and his father walking into the lobby. The county magistrate looked at them in surprise.

Wei Xuan, who was dressed in a green official uniform, stepped forward, saluted and said respectfully: "Sir, I have been told that everyone should return to the county government office to listen to the instructions, so I came to listen to the instructions."

The county magistrate was depressed after hearing this, and cursed secretly that it was the ignorant person who ran the errand. Since he had received the heavy gift not long ago, the magistrate couldn't bear to reprimand him, so he said casually: "Well, you can go and keep the records."

"Yes, I'll go as soon as I get off the job." Wei Xuan responded respectfully, and together with his son, he took four strong men and subordinates to the county magistrate's house. The county magistrate didn't pay attention, and left the lobby to go back to the back house to rest.

When they arrived at the public house, four warrior subordinates, under Wei Fufeng's hand, stood guard outside the door.

The father and son walked into the public room. Wei Xuan naturally walked to the chair behind the case and sat down. He glanced casually and said from his heart that he would like to work in the county government.

"Fufeng, it's so late, why did you ask dad to come to the county office?" Wei Xuan asked gently.

"Dad, the child acted according to his grandfather's instructions." Wei Fufeng replied with a smile. The regretful false alarm before noon made him have a deeper feeling for his father.

Wei Xuan nodded and asked no more questions. He was used to being silent under his father's majesty. He knew that his father was disappointed in him.

Among the seven brothers, he was the most talented and learned. He caught the eye of Uncle Wei Zhaodu and was favored by his uncle as the Registrar of Fufeng County, while the other brothers could not enter the official career.

After the Huangchao Disaster, the world fell into turmoil and war, and talent and learning became the most useless skill. The other brothers could all do their best for the family, but he was the only one who was not suitable for anything, and he was unable to achieve anything high or low.

...

Just when Wei Fufeng and his son entered the public house, a mutiny broke out in the gatehouse of the east city gate. The city gate official was talking to the new deputy, asking about his origins because he did not know the deputy.

The team deputy responded with a smile and made nonsense of saying that he was Judge Qian's nephew.

The city gate officer stood in awe, and was about to inquire further, when suddenly the deputy quickly drew his sword and struck, a cold light passed by, and the head fell to the ground with a click.

There were four close followers of the city gate official inside the gate tower. They drew their swords in surprise, and many spearmen suddenly poured in outside the gate.

The deputy of the team took action faster. After beheading the city gate officer, he threw his sword at an enemy soldier and nailed it into the enemy soldier's face.

The pikemen who rushed in, their big spears like hedgehogs, attacked the three enemy soldiers.

The three enemy soldiers were of average skill and retreated in panic, shouting. One of them was kicked in the waist by the teammate and flew away. He was then pierced into the chest with a spear and died. The other two enemy soldiers also died miserably in the random shooting.

under.

The team deputy retrieved the long knife, calmly wiped the blood on the corpse and returned it to the sheath, then walked out of the gatehouse to deal with the guard who heard the sound. His name was Lu Tao, who was originally one of the Tiger Guards, then ten generals, and now he is the Yajiang.

.

Lu Tao calmly walked around the city wall, followed by four subordinates. Although the regiment training soldiers standing behind the female wall looked strange to Lu Tao, they all knew that they were the regiment training military attachés sent by the state government.

The soldiers at the bottom were naturally afraid of officials. Even if they heard something, they would not dare to ask questions, not to mention that most of the original defenders had not returned from the rescue.

Seeing that no one dared to do anything, Lu Tao waved his hand and asked one of his subordinates to send the signal.
Chapter completed!
