The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 75 Betrayal
Fang County Magistrate and Zhang County Captain watched Zhang Yong riding out of the city alone from the top of the city, and felt very comforted in their hearts.

"Lord Fang, the west gate is where the rebel army camp is located. I must make some preparations. As for how long you can guard it, it depends on how many young men you can send to me." County Captain Zhang acted like a man who listened to everything. The appearance of destiny.

"Master Zhang, you've worked hard. After I go back, I'll let those rich and powerful families send them over." Fang County Magistrate said.

County Captain Zhang nodded, and rode his horse to the west gate to get busy.

Besides, Zhang Yong, after running a few miles to Weisheng Prefecture, immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the barracks in a detour.

As soon as he arrived at the periphery, he was discovered by scouts sent by Bian Xiang, and several people rushed forward to capture him alive.

Zhang Yong didn't panic and shouted: "The villain is here to deliver the letter, please let me meet the general who leads the troops."

After a rough questioning, several detectives learned that there was something else hidden in it, so they immediately reported it to Bian Xiang.

Bian Xiang gave an order, and Zhang Yong was taken into the military tent.

He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took out two letters from his arms and handed them in.

Bian Xiang took the letters and looked at them. One was a request for help from the magistrate Fang of Qinyuan County to the prefect of Weisheng Prefecture, and the other was a secret letter written by Zhang County Captain of the city.

After reading the content, Bian Xiang laughed and handed the letter to Sun An and Qiao Daoqing.

"So your master is planning to join the rebel army secretly and open the city gate for us?" Bian Xiang asked.

"It's true, my master only wants to save the life of the family." Zhang Yong said.

Bian Xiang smiled slightly and said, "I can agree to this matter, but how can I believe what your master said is true?"

Zhang Yong took out a small brocade bag from his arms and handed it over, saying: "To show my sincerity, my master encloses his official seal. I believe the general understands the consequences of the imperial court ordering an official to lose the seal."

Bian Xiang nodded, fully convinced.

"Your master said that three bonfires were lit on the west city gate at midnight tonight as a signal, do you know that?" Bian Xiang asked.

"The villain hasn't read the contents of the letter, so he doesn't know." Zhang Yong said.

"Well, it seems that you are telling the truth." Bian Xiang said.

After all, the minion soldiers rushing to the side gave a wink, and soon two people came up and took Zhang Yong down to take care of him.

"Military division, Brother Sun, what do you think?" Bian Xiang said.

Qiao Daoqing pondered for a while, and said: "It's a big deal. Qinyuan County's defenders will not exceed 2000 people, and if they are scattered to a few city gates, there will not be many. Let's send a team of [-] people to test it out. It’s good, and it’s not a big loss.”

"The military adviser is right. In this case, I will personally lead the team to test it out." Sun An said.

"Hey, Brother Sun, there will be plenty of wars to fight in the future, so let the other brothers take credit for this." Qiao Daoqing said.

Sun An blushed, feeling that he was really impatient.

Bian Xiang nodded, and immediately sent Lei Zhen and Ni Lin from the minion soldiers, and ordered them to lead a team of thousands of people to prepare to capture the west gate.

At the same time, let Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, Zhong Liang, and Yun Zongwu lead two thousand-man teams as reinforcements, ready to support at any time.

Several people went down to prepare, and immediately fell asleep with their heads covered after a full meal.

It was not until Haishi that they got up to fill their stomachs, and then put on paper armor and quietly came to the west gate of Qinyuan County.

Bian Xiang, Qiao Daoqing, and Sun An looked at the top of the city with binoculars, and sure enough, five piles of flames ignited as soon as they arrived at the top of the city.

He nodded and gestured to the minions next to him.

Tilting slightly, five piles of flames also ignited not far outside the city.

Lei Zhen and Ni Lin immediately concentrated their minds with a thousand soldiers.

Soon, they heard the sound of a winch turning, followed by a 'squeak', and the city gate opened.

Lei Zhen squeezed in with a long knife in his hand, just as he bumped into a man who looked like an officer and dozens of soldiers were waiting.

"Dare to ask, but Zhang Xianwei?" Lei Zhen said.

"Exactly, General, I have kept my promise to open the city gate for the rebels." County Magistrate Zhang said.

"Well, my general has something to say. The county lieutenant can take people home and plant a white flag at home as a mark, so the rebels won't disturb them. As for other things, we can wait until the city is broken." Lei Zhen said.

The county magistrate Zhang promised, and he did not forget to salute before leaving.

At this time, Ni Lin had already led people to firmly guard the gate of the city, and sent a signal to the outside of the city.

Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, Zhong Liang, and Yun Zongwu followed immediately, and more than 2000 minion soldiers frantically rushed into Qinyuan County.

Not long after, 3000 people entered the city.

Start to occupy important places such as county government, government treasury, and military camp according to the map given by Zhang Xianwei.

More than 3000 people have entered the city, so naturally there is no need to act quietly.

When there are too many people, the noise caused by actions is bound to be loud, and there are still a few people who endowed them with stubborn resistance. When fighting, the sound of weapons clashing and the sound of people shouting and horse neighing cannot be heard.

Only then did the people in the county wake up, realizing that it was the rebels from outside the city who had invaded the city.

It's just that everyone understands the reason why thieves come like soldiers, but who can do anything, they can only hide in their homes tremblingly and pray to the gods and Buddhas.

The shouts of killing didn't last long, not even half an hour.In fact, except for the guardians of those wealthy and powerful families who still have the strength to fight.

Those defenders in Qinyuan County all learned from their immediate superior Zhang County Lieutenant, and honestly hid in the barracks, with weapons and armor piled up on the school field, and a white flag was raised high outside the camp, which could only be accepted by the rebels.

When Bian Xiang saw a signal from the city, he immediately led the Chinese army into the city.

When he arrived at the county government office, he found out that the one in Qinyuan County who was desperately resisting was the county magistrate Fang, and that county magistrate had committed suicide by throwing himself into a well before the county government office was breached.

Bian Xiang shook his head and sighed, feeling secretly in his heart, saying that the county magistrate is a good official, he is really greedy, if he is not good, he is really loyal to the court.

But these are trivial matters, and it was impossible to retain the officials of the court after the city was broken.

After tossing until dawn, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, Zhong Liang, Yun Zongwu, Lei Zhen, and Ni Lin came to deliver orders.

At this time, Qiao Daoqing began to count the harvest after breaking the city.

Several government treasuries in the county town were naturally taken over by the rebel army, and a lot of food and grass were also harvested, and many weapons and battles from the garrison were obtained.

Our own losses were almost negligible, only thirty or so brothers were injured, not even a single one was killed.

Qiao Daoqing immediately ordered doctors from the county to be recruited to treat the minion soldiers, and of course forced them to join the army to serve the rebels.

The county magistrate Fang was dead, and the officials of the county government, Dutou and others surrendered one after another, and were imprisoned among the big bosses.

On the contrary, the prisoners in the prison were released. After a rough check of the files, those who were really wronged were sent home.

Of course, those who have meritorious service can also turn meritorious deeds into rebels. Who makes this era lack of people who dare to fight hard.

However, those tyrants and big households who participated in the defense of the city were more difficult to deal with. After all, it was impossible for the rebel army to kill all those people, otherwise it would be counterproductive and arouse the determination of other cities to defend the city.

But Qiao Daoqing is a man of intellect after all, and there is something in his mind. He invited Captain Zhang and asked him to tell which family is rich and unkind, which one bullies and dominates the market, and which one is Anshan's family.

In line with the fanatical principles of converts, Zhang Xianwei sold all the rich and powerful households in Qinyuan County.

Later, Qiao Daoqing ordered Lu Hui to arrest people according to the list.

Those who oppressed the people were all arrested and prepared to beheaded for public display, and their property was also confiscated.

As for those who have some minor problems, they should be beaten to squeeze out some oil and water to atone for their sins.Those who were indeed from the Anshan House did not move at all, and sent someone to appease them.

After a series of actions, after Qinyuan County was captured by the rebels, not only was there no chaos, but it became more harmonious than before.

The common people were prepared to be looted by the rebels, but they thought that the rebel army would not commit any crimes, and even distributed food to the poor.

So many people feel emotional, and even hope that the rebels can rule Qinyuan County for a long time.

A few days later, the rested rebel army was ready for the next move.

Bian Xiang was about to order the army to move out of the camp, but was stopped by Qiao Daoqing.

"Brother Bian, don't worry, Pindao has a plan to protect the brothers and make great achievements. If this plan is successful, it may be easy to defeat those prefectural capitals." Qiao Daoqing said with a smile on his face.

"The military master has a clever plan, so hurry up and come up with it." Bian Xiang said.

Sun An immediately raised his ears, as if listening carefully.
