After Wang Wu's death, Scarface and the others had learned from the past, and now they walk behind with lingering fears, fearing that there will be traps, and told their subordinates to be careful and slow down, and pay attention to their surroundings and their feet.

Scarface was also afraid, because this time he was spending his time here on his own initiative, and the task given to them by the head of the family was to take down County Ancheng.

But now he has lost a brother because of his own mistakes. If another brother dies because of this, then he is really guilty.

When A Lang saw the situation on their side, he was secretly pleased, hmph, are you still shy?Now it's up to you, play here slowly, there will be a bigger surprise for you in a few days, hehe!
Zhou Haoyu had been waiting for news from A Lang in Ancheng County, and he hadn't heard from him and Jiangnan for a few days, so he couldn't help getting worried, walking around in the county government office in Ancheng County, he couldn't sit still.

On the other side, Bai Qi was ordered to lead troops to Fuzhou for support. The battle there was urgent, but it was a long way from the capital to Fuzhou, and with so many soldiers and horses, the march was relatively slow.

No, today Baiqi's general soldier You Shilu received an urgent order from the governor, ordering him to send a battalion of troops and a general to Fuzhou for support, which made him very helpless.

As the generals of Longyou, the You family and the Hou family have always assisted each other, especially Hou Shilu's. Since he was appointed as the Fujian general, he has been secretly mentioned several times.

Originally, suppressing thieves was not a big deal for You Shilu, but the defeat of Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen made him deeply shocked, and according to the defeated soldiers who fled back from the rout, there were giant cannons and firecrackers in the Heifeng Village of the rogues entrenched in Fujian.

This reminded him of a legend. It is said that Zhang You, the current general of the water transport, used giant cannons to destroy Yongping City when he broke down the city walls.

But at this moment, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. It was rumored that the chief soldier of Water Transport was from Liao Town and made his fortune in Dongjiang, but he was transferred to Liudu Jingying.

Not to mention the general generals, even general families like You Shilu may not be able to operate successfully.

It is convincing to say that Zhang You was able to get the help of the giant cannon in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, since the new emperor came to the throne, Fujian and Guangdong have been ordered to supervise the construction of no less than three hundred Hongyi generals. Where can the thief get the cannon?
Coupled with Hou Shilu's hints several times, You Shilu didn't dare to think deeply, because in the whole so-called "Zunyong Great Victory", apart from Zhang You who fought, it is said that only Hou Shilu knew best how Liudu Jingying wiped out Jiannu.

In the last battle of Pingyang, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, did not fail to think about mobilizing You Shilu, but he tried to get Yinzi to shirk him away.

Since then, he has discovered that Hou Shilu has become more and more weird. When Gan Zaizhen was the commander-in-chief, it was common for him to secretly traffic the salt goods from Huamachi to the Tartars.

But Hou Shilu sent someone to greet him, and promised him a lot of benefits to help him get some goods from Ningwuguan. They have always been on good terms.

But he didn't know until he actually saw the caravan, what the hell is "some" goods, it's simply a large batch!

What surprised him even more was that there were a large amount of salt and tea in the goods. Smuggling outside the Great Wall was not surprising. The town generals on the nine sides were all doing it, but what frightened him was that Hou Shilu actually took such a large amount of tea. The salt tea was transported outside the customs.

Salt and iron tea was strictly prohibited from being sold outside the border walls in the Great Qin Dynasty, but the imperial court is the imperial court, so why would the generals not do such a good deal?But that was only small-scale smuggling, and it was the first time I saw such a large amount of goods, You Shilu.

Tea is okay, as long as there is silver, Shaanxi and Huguang also produce a large amount of tea, and it is also the favorite brick tea of ​​the Tartars, but salt is different, and there are not many places in the north of Great Qin that produce salt.

The two most famous salt ponds are Jiezhou in Fujian Province and Huama Pond in Ningxia Town. It can even be said without exaggeration that the entire Ningxia Town was set up to protect Huama Pond.

If it is necessary to transport salt from Jianghuai or Sichuan to sell outside the Great Wall, the cost of transportation can push the price of salt to the sky. And Huamachi's idea.

But now that the Jiezhou Salt Pond has been completely taken over by the thief Heifengzhai, the question arises, where can Hou Shilu get so much salt?
You Shilu calculated a lot of geniuses and figured out some tricks. Hou Shilu and the thief Heifengzhai are connected!
After reaching this conclusion, he felt relieved, and it is not uncommon for him to have connections with bandits. When he was the commander-in-chief of Ganzhen, he also followed the then governor of the three sides, Yang He, to suppress the bandits.

When the rogue soldiers and horses are chased to a desperate situation, they will basically send people to send a large amount of looted property to the officers and soldiers to seek a way out. He You Shilu has received it twice.

This is also one of the important reasons why the generals of Daqin looked down on the bandits. It’s not that they can’t wipe out the bandits. When the army got serious, it was wiped out with a backhand.

But Hou Shilu's reminder still made him vigilant. This rogue army called Heifengzhai not only knows how to do things, but also is very good at fighting. They killed two governors of Fujian and one governor of Xuanda. Who would love such rogues? No matter who goes, he You Shilu doesn't want to go anyway.

The governor's military order cannot be disrespected, but he is the one who has the final say on the elite soldiers, so You Shilu exposed a group of old and weak people in the camp, and arrested a group of refugees, so that the capital commander who had always looked down upon He went straight to Fuzhou with more than 2000 people.

On May [-]th of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the two battalions of Tianxiong Army ordered to be stationed in Qingyuan and Yuci were transferred back to Fuzhou, and Chen Hao prepared to defend the city to the death.

On May [-]th, the rogue soldiers and horses arrived at the city of Fuzhou. After all, Chen Hao had learned the lesson of the Battle of Pingyang. The two city gates in the south of Fuzhou had been blocked with bricks by his order.

Except for one city gate in the north, the rest of the gates also have a large number of obstacles set up with bricks, stones and horses.

At this time, a group of people were watching the battle from the tower on the south city wall, in order to detect the deployment of the bandit soldiers and horses, and predict their attack direction.

"Jiandou, I don't think the bandits will attack the city today." Yang Lin also claimed to be familiar with the art of war, and now he is serving as a military counselor with Chen Hao.

"This army is really weird!" Looking at the rogue soldiers and horses outside the city who were flying various flags, but had no intention of marching, Chen Hao also felt strange. These rogues were just digging trenches everywhere. Is it impossible to besiege Fuzhou?
Although Fujian has also suffered severe drought in the past few years, and there have been thieves since last year, but before the closure of the city, he forced donations, and only from a group of small and medium-sized gentry, he got enough food and fodder for about half a year for the soldiers and horses in the city. He didn't believe it. Can the thieves surround Fuzhou for so long?
