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

Chapter 77

Liao Liwen died tragically in the trap of the county government.

The seven thousand officers and troops he brought could not escape the fate of failure.

Being taken to the military camp in the county seat, 7000 people crammed into a small military camp was a bit crowded, but it would not be too many when marching and fighting.

The soldiers who had been hungry for most of the day immediately asked the defenders in Qinyuan County to provide them with food.

At this time, Captain Zhang had already rushed over from there.

The general of the reinforcements said that Fang County Magistrate was entertaining Liao Liwen, and he was in charge of entertaining the rest.

Not long after, the defenders in the county brought baskets of steamed buns for the soldiers to eat, and also prepared some soup.And those officers, big and small, were invited by him to a restaurant in the city for a drink.

After drinking two or three jars of wine, those people felt dizzy, and fell unconscious on the wine table after a while.

When they woke up again, they realized that their group had been bundled into a group, surrounded by a group of minions.

Look at the leader, who is pouring cold water on them with a basin in his hand.

"Are you awake? Hahaha, the officers and soldiers of Weisheng Prefecture are so capable that they can't even tell that there is Mongolian sweat in the wine." Lei Zhen laughed wildly.

Several people struggled a few times and found that they were tied tightly.Someone who had a bad temper opened his mouth and cursed, but was kicked in circles by the minion soldiers, and his mouth softened immediately.

"Can any of you tell me how many soldiers and horses there are in the state capital now, and who is in charge of defending the city. I will definitely give you a chance to survive." Lei Zhen asked coldly.

Several people glanced at each other, fearing that someone would be ahead of them, they opened their mouths like pouring beans into a bamboo tube to tell the whole story that they knew.

After careful comparison, Lei Zhen found that what they said was almost the same as the actual situation in the state capital, so he recorded the news and sent it to Qiao Daoqing.

Let's talk about the soldiers in the barracks, the middle and senior officers all went out to drink with Captain Zhang County. After they were full, no one took care of them, so they found a warm place in the barracks to rest.

As soon as we arrived at Haishi at night, we heard a scream outside the barracks.Some small officers got up to check, but they were frightened out of their wits.

They saw that the barracks had been surrounded by a large army. Many people couldn't see clearly, but they could see the surrounding torches like a forest.

"You have been surrounded, why don't you surrender quickly?" Sun An'an's deputy, sitting on the horse, shouted loudly.

"Hmph, you won't cry until you see the coffin." After saying that, he threw a human head into the barracks.

Those low-level officials saw that it was Liao Liwen, their general.

"I'll wait for my wish to come down." Those people said in unison.

With a wave of Sun An's hand, the gate of the general's barracks had already been opened by his subordinate soldiers, and a swarm of bees rushed in.

Afterwards, the weapons and armors of the officers and soldiers were confiscated one by one. At dawn the next day, someone escorted the [-] officers and soldiers to Mianshan Mountain for reform.

At this time, Bian Xiang, Sun An, and Qiao Daoqing were chatting and laughing in the county government office.

"Brother Bian, Pindao thinks he can use his tricks, so...to earn money from Fucheng." Qiao Daoqing's mouth curled into a smile.

"The military division is really a god." Bian Xiang couldn't stop laughing after hearing this.

"How about I lead the team this time?" Sun An said.

Qiao Daoqing glanced at it and said, "Brother Sun is about to be asked to take charge of this matter."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, thinking that this time they could storm Fucheng without much effort.

Three days later, on the road from Qinyuan County to Weisheng Prefecture, a group of soldiers rushed in panic, led by Liao Liwen's former lieutenant Guo Qingyun.

An hour later, this group of defeated soldiers rushed to the capital of the state capital to call the door.

In fact, ever since Liao Liwen left, Governor Dong was afraid that the bandits would use the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so he closed the gates of the city tightly these days, not allowing them to leave or enter.

He didn't expect that this move would just block the news outside the city, and instead clear the way for Qiao Daoqing's strategy.

Seeing a rout of 800 to [-] soldiers, the defenders on the top of the city immediately panicked.

"Hurry up and open the city gate. The bandits in Qinyuan County are very powerful. General Liao was defeated and disappeared. I will let us enter the city after we escape desperately." Guo Qingyun shouted loudly.

The defenders on the top of the city naturally recognized Guo Qingyun, but they had to ask the prefect for instructions on opening the city gate.

They could only send news of the defeat to the prefect's mansion while asking about the situation on the front line.

Guo Qingyun was cursing and swearing, and what he said about the war was specious, and no one could hear what was going on.

Seeing that the rout soldiers were getting more and more excited, and when they would attack the city without opening the city gate, Governor Dong arrived late.

He looked down and saw that the leading officers were all familiar faces, so he asked the Xiang army guarding the city to open the city gate to let them in.

After Liao Liwen took away 7000 soldiers from the state defense army, there would be no more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting, and there was not a single qualified general.

So Dong Taishou felt that although Guo Qingyun and others were defeated, it was okay to let them in to defend the city, otherwise let him, a civil servant, stand on the top of the city and command the battle.Moreover, these people are disheartened, and some of them have blood on their bodies, which should not be fake.

With a "squeak", the city gate opened.

Guo Qingyun rushed into the city with those defeated troops.

Taishou Dong came down from the tower with his entourage, ready to inquire about the battle situation in detail, why the [-] imperial army was defeated by the [-] bandits.

"General Guo, why did you lose, and where is General Liao?" Dong Taishou asked.

"My lord, we..."

Before Guo Qingyun could finish speaking, he drew out his waist knife and rushed directly to Governor Dong.Not only that, the broken soldiers who followed him into the city raised their swords and guns and attacked the soldiers defending the city.

After all, Dong Taishou had a few expert guards around him, and Guo Qingyun couldn't win against his opponent for a while.

At this time, several mid-level officers around him were not acting, and each took their weapons and went straight to the Lord.

On the other hand, Sun An, Zhu Jing, and Nie Xin, who were disguised as soldiers, looked at them coldly, but if something went wrong, they would swarm up and kill them.

As time went by, it was the desperate Guo Qingyun and others who finally gained the upper hand. After beheading the guards, the prefect Dong was captured alive.

The change in the city gate naturally alarmed other people in Zhoucheng. Some smart people had already guessed that the bandit army broke the city, so they planned to pack up their belongings and escape through other city gates, and some foolish ones even went to watch the excitement.

At this time, the army led by Bian Xiang finally arrived and took over the city gate that the rebel army pretended to be defeated.

The army rushed into the city like a tide, and there was a sudden chaos in the city.Seeing that the situation was over, the troops defending the city dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another.

As the rebel army continued to pour in, the treasury and granaries in the city were guarded.The big and small officials of the yamen became prisoners of their ranks.

Bian Xiang won the capital city of Weisheng Prefecture at a very small cost.

Such an achievement can be traced back to the source of Zhang Xianwei's secret collusion with the enemy.

But the reason why Zhang Ze was willing to cooperate with the acting was not because the rebel army was so powerful. How could five thousand armored men in an army of 2 people be called bandits.

He knew that the city couldn't be defended, and he didn't want to sacrifice his life for Song, so he decided to save himself first.As for the court's pursuit of responsibility in the future... let's talk about living first.

The state capital was captured, so of course such a big news cannot be concealed.

On that day, some defenders did open the city gate and flee elsewhere, so the news naturally spread.

Moreover, Bian Xiang, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing and others were busy dealing with various post-war affairs, and they didn't have the time and energy to attack the city and seize the territory for a while.

It has been nearly half a month since they finished handling the affairs of the state capital, and the rest of the counties in Weisheng Prefecture have already received the news.

Some powerful and wealthy households immediately fled with their families when they saw this, and some people with good intentions secretly plotted to respond to the rebels.

After detecting these news, Bian Xiang once again adopted Qiao Daoqing's suggestion and divided his troops to attack those county towns.

In fact, it is better to say it is to take over than to attack. After all, news in the Song Dynasty is spread in a single way, and it is often changed beyond recognition by people in the process of spreading.

Some county towns heard that [-] rebel troops broke through the state capital, burned, killed and looted, and others heard that Dong Taishou Xiancheng surrendered and so on.

All kinds of gossips spread in all directions, but on the contrary, they boosted the prestige of the rebel army.Often, as soon as the army arrived, someone would open the city and surrender.

In less than two months, Bian Xiang's team had taken all of Weisheng Prefecture. It can be said that the wind went smoothly and did not consume too much strength.

Du Yu's side did not go so smoothly. After all, the Song Dynasty had been established for more than 150 years, and there was absolutely no shortage of loyal people.
