In the early morning, the drizzle was drizzling, and the water accumulated in Pei County was getting more and more. Raindrops fell into the water, and there was a "patter" sound everywhere.

In the public hall, Cheng Silang, a county official who was on duty at night in the side hall, listened to the thunder sounding from time to time outside, and felt puzzled: Why did the thunder keep ringing for so long?

"Sheng Si, the water is boiling."

Cheng Siro came to his senses with a reminder from his companion. He hooked the kettle with an iron hook, then hooked the kettle and placed it aside on the small iron rack.

Then check the honeycomb coal stove and make sure that there is no need to add coal, so put another kettle filled with water on the stove.

Pour the boiled water into a teapot filled with tea leaves. This is called "making tea". Although the brewed tea tastes light, it has a unique flavor. Drink it slowly to quench your thirst and refresh your mind.

When I was on night, I couldn’t fall asleep no matter how sleepy he was, otherwise the inspected people would have to worry about it.

Cheng Si brewed a pot of tea and waited silently. Thunder came from his ears. He listened carefully for a while and felt that the thunder was sounding in the east, in the direction of Sishui.

The official army besieged the city, leaving only a vacant in the east, which is the "three sieges and one siege", which makes Wu thieves always want to break through, so they will not fight stubbornly.

However, the Wu bandit reinforcements have arrived, and the war is probably prolonged. If the official army cannot recover Pei County this time, it will probably take a long time before there will be another chance.

For Cheng Silang, the official army refers to the army of the northern court, and the "Wu bandits" is a despicable name for the southern people. After all, Jiangnan is also called "Wu Land".

He did not have any thoughts of loyalty to the northern (Yecheng) court, but Pei County has been under the jurisdiction of the northern court for several generations, and the people of Pei County have no feelings for the southern court.

Things that are used to being common suddenly change and no one is used to them.

For example, if a person is used to using chopsticks with his right hand, he suddenly uses his left hand to hold chopsticks, which of course he feels awkward.

However, as long as you have food, it doesn’t matter which hand you use to hold the chopsticks, as long as you have food to eat.

If you do things you are not used to for a long time, you will naturally get used to them, such as drinking tea.

Cheng Siro slowly drank a bowl of tea, listened to the thunder sounding outside again, thinking about how to make a fortune.

If the official army attacks Pei County, he must lead the way for the official army to capture the leader of the Wu thief, and at the same time intimidate the rich families. If he does not give any benefits, he will bring the official army to capture the "Wu thief's detailed works."

If the Wu thieves defended Pei County, then he would be a diligent county official who worked hard and would not complain at all.

Any wealthy family was disobedient and did not give benefits, so he brought Wu thieves to catch the "fine works".

Anyway, no matter which court official is from the government, Cheng Silang has a way to make a fortune.

However, considering that the county magistrate of Wu thieves had strict checks on land and household registration, Cheng Silang and his colleagues still hoped that the government troops would recover Pei County.

In this way, they can do their best to work hard and join the big families to annex the land, conceal their property, and divide more people into hidden households.

Or weaving a charge, and killing someone by borrowing a knife.

In the midst of chaos, it was a good opportunity to annex the land and plunder money. The Wu thieves destroyed Pei County before, but the fire broke out in the public hall, and many books and files were burned. Of course, this was not an accident.

Everyone was thinking about fishing for troubled waters, but the new officials refused to pretend to be confused. They hoped that the official army would recover Pei County, and then the government "accidentally caught fire."

In this way, the land, household registration, the situation of each household and the level of family property are just a confusing account.

Isn’t it great for big families to eat meat and those of the county officials to drink soup?

Cheng Shiro was thinking happily, but the thunder and drizzle outside made him a little anxious.

Seeing that Dongfang seemed to be showing off, Cheng Silang was tired and thought about holding on for a while, and he would be able to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep when he was about to finish his sleep.

The thunder no longer sounded. Just as he thought the thunderstorm was about to subside, a horn suddenly sounded, and the horn sounded became increasingly dense.

Cheng Shiro listened carefully and felt that the sound of the horn was coming from the east of Sishui.

The reinforcements of the Wu bandits had already come along the Si River, so now, I don’t know whether it was the official army launching an attack on the Wu bandits by the river or the Wu bandits who landed on the shore to start attacking the Guanjun camp.

......

In the early morning, it was raining in the sky, and thunder sounded from time to time, but the rumbling thunder was drowned by the shaking shouts.

The Qi army besieged Pei County had camps in the south, west and north of the city, and the south, north of the city, and the east was adjacent to Sishui.

The Liang army, who was heading north along the Sishui River, had already broken through the obstacles set up by the Qi army on the Sishui River and arrived at the east of Pei County.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers came down from the docking boat and launched an attack on the Qi army camp on the shore.

The tenacious resistance of the Qi army did not exist as imagined. The Liang army soldiers stepped forward in the mud and rushed into the camp from the gap of the broken wooden fence.

There was a mess in front of me.

The collapsed arrow tower, a large number of damaged tents, occasionally seen broken limbs and broken arms on the ground, and soldiers squatting on the ground, holding their heads and shouting as if they were crazy.

There were also many soldiers coming from Qi, which seemed to be fighting stubbornly, but these people looked panicked on their faces, as if they had experienced something terrible.

When the two sides fought, the morale of the Liang soldiers was high, and the Qi soldiers were about to collapse at the touch. The war between the South and North camps quickly showed a one-sided situation, and a large number of defeated Qi soldiers ran westward.

There was also a Qi army camp to the west, but the ground was muddy. Many Qi soldiers were running and falling and slipping, and they couldn't dodge the people behind and fell in front.

Among the Liang soldiers chasing, Xiahou An looked at the broken limbs and broken arms on the camp ground, and the camp that seemed to be blown by the strong wind, thinking.

He and his companions were soldiers of the Xuzhou Army, namely the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army. Last night, he took a boat to Sishui and approached Pei County, but the fleet berthed several miles downstream.

All night, thunderstorms continued in Peixian. Xiahou used the excuse of convenience on the night night, but he saw that there were constant flashes of fire in the night sky in the north.

Listening to the sound is thundering, but watching the movement is not like thundering.

But if it is not thunder, what can it be?

In the early morning, their team continued to move forward, and the chef lit a small stove on the boat and steamed the pancakes for food.

After the thunder stopped, the fleet happened to arrive at the east of Pei County, on the Sishui River. The soldiers of Xuzhou who had eaten food soon received an order, got off the ship and went ashore, and launched an attack.

As a result, the enemy camp they faced seemed to be rice fields washed by floods, with buildings falling from place to place, many camp tents were destroyed, and broken limbs could be seen on the ground.

So last night, what happened here?

Xiahou An couldn't figure it out and was pushed by his companions: "Xiahou, why are you stunned? Hurry up and chase him, the opportunity to make contributions has come!!"

He came to his senses and looked forward, but saw a large group of soldiers scattered in front of him, twisting and running west like a large group of ducks.

This is a great opportunity to capture prisoners and chop off people's heads. If you hesitate, the heads will be snatched away by other teams.

Xiahou An quickly chased forward with his companions. If he was lucky, he might be able to capture a few generals and make great contributions. That would be amazing.

For Xiahou An, joining the army is just looking forward to achieving military achievements?

The Xiahou clan, who lived in Shouyang, was greatly affected by the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the clan members could only seek their own future.

When Xiahou An and some tribe members heard that the famous "Li Sanlang" recruited soldiers in Xuzhou, they came to Hanshan, Xuzhou to join the army and became a member of the Xuzhou army.

Like many young people who joined the army, they wanted to be a pawn for Li Sanlang and exchange their military merits on the battlefield to change their destiny.

Therefore, today's great victory cannot be left behind by others.

Another horn sounded, but it came from the south. They followed the sound and saw that the north gate of Pei County had opened, and cavalrymen left the city and rushed towards the defeated soldiers.

The soldiers of Xuzhou Army were shocked when they saw this: The defenders of Pei County opened the door and came out to grab military merits, so everyone should not delay!

"Chasing, chasing!!"

The soldiers of Xuzhou army shouted hard, chasing the defeated Qi soldiers, and the cavalry that had successively arrived ashore also began to speed up and chase westward.

On the surface of the Sishui River, Wu Xiang, who had not closed his eyes for a night, finally breathed a sigh of relief as his troops on the shore chased and defeated Qi soldiers.

Although the weapons carried by each ship of the fleet are all "light cannons" that can be pulled by horses, they are still very powerful. They are still very powerful when shooting at the Qi army camps near the shore.

That night, the light guns of each ship didn't know how much "thunder" they fired. The consumption was quite large. If they could not win a great victory, it would be really unpaid.

Although he stuffed his ears with a cloth, he still felt his ears buzzing. Looking at his tired subordinates, Wu Xiang did not forget to explain:

"The things must be kept in place. If it is bright today, it cannot attract attention. If others ask what happened last night, you know how to answer."

The subordinates quickly agreed to the promise, and Wu Xiang nodded: "Closing it out, transport the things back to Pengcheng today. Remember, keep it confidential."

Nowadays, Pengcheng is surrounded by water, and even if you want to get close to it, it is a good place to keep it confidential.

Wu Xiang looked at the shore again, looking at the last camp of Qi army west of Pei County.

This camp is far away from the shore, so it was not affected by the "thunderstorm" last night. However, the Qi army camps were gone for the second one. How much time can I hold on to this one?

The rabbit's tail cannot grow.
