Chen County is a small county. There are only a few hundred households in the county seat. The county magistrate and the county magistrate, who have the duties of master book and county lieutenant, command more than a dozen yamen servants, plus some handy servants...
This is why the rebels in the past few years like to attack the county government. Only a few dozen people can occupy the county government and establish themselves as kings. They can establish their prestige without much difficulty and risk. The First War of the Rebellion.
Attacking the county government would naturally cut down a few corrupt officials. Therefore, for a small and remote county like Chen County, the county magistrate became a profession with a very high mortality rate.
The magistrate of Chen County hugged the man's leg and said loudly: "Hero, what do you want to do, I will definitely cooperate with you, please don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"You have no backbone, you don't look like a man!" The man gave him a disdainful look, shook him off, walked up to the woman, and said flatteringly: "Sister Bai, leave the matter here to us, you go have a rest… "
"If I knew it was so simple, I wouldn't have come here. Why don't I ask the lord for some advice..." Bai Su glanced at him, turned and left.
The man looked back at the other person again, and said, "General Chen, I will leave the rest of the matter to you."
Covering his face with a black cloth, Chen Qing walked up to the Magistrate of Chen County, tore off the black cloth from his face, and asked, "Magistrate Liu, do you still recognize me?"
The county magistrate of Chen county moved towards the bright place, and when he looked over, he said in shock, "General Chen, you..."
He threw himself on the ground, with snot and tears, and cried, "General Chen, I was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I hope you are here. You don't know how much my life has been going on since you left." Bitter, I dreamed that Her Royal Highness would call back..."
The man looked at the magistrate of Chen County, smacked his lips, and sighed: "It's a talent..."
…
When the first snow fell in the second year of Jingping, Li Yi threw a letter into the fire.
The letterhead was instantly engulfed in flames.
In the past few months, the nine counties in Cangzhou have actually been secretly controlled by them, and there are already seven counties.
The control mentioned here does not only refer to the control of the county government, but also the people who Xu Zheng secretly subdued and recruited. In name, Cangzhou is still under the control of the governor's mansion of Zhoucheng, but in fact, Cangzhou Zhoucheng has been controlled by people inside and outside. The siege, and even the interior of the state city, have been penetrated by forces.
There are also two counties, which are located within the state capital. In order not to startle the snake, they have not taken any action.
Compared with the violent rebellion, the violent revolution of using heaven's punishment and cannons to open the city gate, this method of boiling frogs in warm water is more suitable for them now.
After they have completely controlled Cangzhou, they can implement further plans.
Li Yi watched the last piece of paper burnt out in the fire, but frowned.
After being away from home for a few months, Yang Liuqing still sent letters frequently, but Ruyi didn't send a single letter back, and didn't come back to see it. It's really a girl who becomes wild when she grows up. It's too shameful...
Li Duan was wearing a padded jacket, ran in from outside, and asked, "Daddy, when will auntie come back?"
Li Duan really healed his butt and forgot the pain, so he wanted to be happy so soon...
Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "There are still two months, and my aunt will be back when the Chinese New Year comes."
Li Duan counted with his fingers, and found that there were still two months before the Chinese New Year. He patted his chest and murmured: "I just came back after the Chinese New Year. I'm relieved..."
After saying that, he stomped and ran out again...
Li Yi watched him run out with cheerful steps, and shook his head slightly.
Li Duan is still young, I only remember Ruyi spanking his ass, I don't know how good Ruyi is...
…
Nearly two months before the New Year's Eve, the first snow fell in Cangzhou.
In previous years, for people who did not have much food in their homes, this was the official opening of the gate of hell.
It is unknown how many poor people die of hunger and cold every year.
This year is slightly different. For unknown reasons, those frenzied bandits in Cangzhou disappeared without a trace. People with arms and legs can never starve to death, enough to survive.
In this year of famine and war, if you can save your life, you are already blessed by the gods.
No, it's Goddess Tianhou's blessing.
Tianhou Empress has a kind heart, and countless people in Cangzhou have received her kindness, and many poor people who survived because of her prayed for her day and night...
Many people have no doubts about what the Empress Dowager said about the man of destiny who can save them from the sea of suffering and the chaos of war. They just don't know when will the man who can save them appear
…
"Your Highness, apart from Yong'an County and Ding'an County which are located in Zhoucheng, the other seven counties in Cangzhou have been controlled by us. Each county can use more than 1,000 people. The envoy Xu contacted, and Miss Bai just said that several brothers in the alliance have entered the Cangzhou garrison..."
Chen Qing reported many things to Yang Liuqing one by one, clasped his fists together and said, "Please give instructions to Your Highness on how to proceed next!"
Yang Liuqing thought for a while and said, "After three days, occupy the city!"
Chen Qing knelt down on one knee, bowed and said, "Yes!"
In fact, as early as a month ago, they were only one step away from occupying the state city.
The 2,000 Cangzhou defenders are not elite soldiers. They are stationed outside the city. They can mobilize more than 2,000 troops. They are all elite soldiers who have survived countless battles. Non-Cangzhou defenders are comparable.
What's more, for the Cangzhou defenders who have been infiltrated, it is not difficult at all to break through from the inside and the outside at the same time.
Chen Qing left in a hurry. He needed to discuss the specific plan to seize the city with everyone, and then deduce almost all the changes and possibilities. Even if he had already made complete preparations, he could not take it lightly.
Yang Liuqing walked out of the door and walked into the yard.
Looking at the busy crowd shuttling around, her heart was extraordinarily peaceful, without the slightest sense of tension or urgency for a big battle.
This is almost the first time in the past few years, the reason is that they have already made a plan for Cangzhou.
This is their first battle, and it is also a very important one. They can only win but not lose. She can't let all the soldiers down, she can't let the master down, and she can't let the uncle down.
Thinking of her uncle, her expression froze for a moment, she blinked her eyes, and then rubbed in disbelief, her red lips parted slightly, and she said in disbelief: "Master..."
…
"Besides Cangzhou, there are three major forces that have been in confrontation with the government. After taking Cangzhou, the first thing to do is to subdue them first." In the room, Bai Su sat opposite Miss Liu Er, and said: "Those three forces, I have sent people to sneak in..."
Bai Su said some more things, saw her expression was a little dazed, she seemed to be absent-minded, and said: "Leader, I'm going down first."
Miss Liu Er nodded, Bai Su walked out the door, and met a person at the door, his eyes were wide open, he just opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, his mouth was covered by someone.
Her eyes widened, and then she was a little annoyed. Before she could get angry, Li Yi raised his index finger and made a silent gesture to her.
Bai Su took his hand away, gritted his teeth, but didn't make a sound.
Li Yi walked into the room with strides, without deliberately suppressing his footsteps. After all, at such a short distance, Miss Liu would find out if he moved lightly. With her back to the door, Li Yi walked behind her and wanted to cover her quietly. eyes, but she stretched out her hand and held her wrist.
Miss Liu Er glanced at him lightly, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"
Standing at the door, Bai Su sighed leisurely in his heart when he saw that the leader's expression was no longer in a daze, and that there was a trace of hidden deep joy, which was completely different from the two of them just now.
"Duan'er said he missed you." Li Yi walked outside the door, took Li Duan's hand and said, "I'll bring him to see you."
"Auntie..."
Li Duan really wanted to do what he wanted, and when he saw her again, he was so moved that there was a cry in his voice.
