"General, a large number of rafts appeared on the river, with elite soldiers on it. Captain Han asked the young man to report it." The cavalry defending along the river immediately reported to Han Zaiwu when he saw the raft. At this moment, Han Zaiwu had already rushed to the riverside.

"Let's go, take a look!" Zheng Tu got on his horse, took his personal guards, and trotted all the way. This place was only three or four miles away from the riverside, and it was just a short while.

Before he reached the riverside, Zheng Tu controlled his horse with his legs and looked at it with a telescope in his hands.

I saw dozens of rafts on the river surface, flowing downstream. Now it is the season of less rain, and the water flows very slowly. The soldiers on the raft are supporting the river with long poles to the bottom of the river to make the speed faster.

"General Zheng, you finally came. Whose troops are there? There is no flag to be taken." Han Zaiwu looked confused. How should he deal with this situation without expectation?

"The Minjiang River goes upstream, first the territory of Gutian County, but it is far away from the county town, and it is more than ten miles away. Then it goes upstream, it is our territory of Jianzhou. Then it goes to Jianou. Such a large scale is not very similar to that of Gutian County." Zheng Tu had long been aware of the surrounding terrain. Gutian County is located in a mountainous mountain range, and it is a remote small county town. It is not necessary to station the army and do not have the strength to organize so many elite soldiers.

"That means, this must be a friend but not an enemy?" Han Zaiwu breathed a sigh of relief. If the enemy attacked on such a large scale, he would have a headache. After all, the river bank is so long, if there is any omission, it will be a big trouble.

"Boll our flag up and push it higher." Zheng Tu said with great confidence, but he was afraid that if it was really a friendly army, he would definitely come and greet him.

The banner of the loyal and brave army was planted high on the mountain, flying in the wind, and you can see it from a distance.

Chen Qiba on the raft was also nervous. The Yangtze River was already on guard and thought it was Zhangwu's army's troops, so why was it exposed so early and was still preparing to catch the other party off guard?

"I'll go, this is so fast?" Chen Qiba saw the big banner of Zhongyong Army from afar, took out his telescope and took a closer look. It was Zheng Tu and Han Zaiwu who rode on the high place, so he decided to go to the dock and say hello first.

Zheng Tu and Han Zaiwu also saw Chen Qiba in the telescope. Both of them looked excited. If Chen Qiba and the second regiment helped, they would definitely win the Minqing City.

"General Bahu, why are you here?" As soon as the raft was docked, Zheng Tu and Han Zaiwu got off the horse and walked up to greet him.

"Haha, how can this kind of war be missing from my Second Regiment? This is a strategy that the Marquis had already decided..." It turned out that Sun Yu had predicted that the Fuzhou garrison would cross the river to the south bank on a large scale, and the north bank would inevitably be empty. At that time, Chen Qiba led his troops straight to Minhou County and attacked the other party by surprise.

Once you occupy Minhou County, it is like a knife lying on the other party’s neck, and you must divide your troops and station in Fuzhou. In this way, you will not dare to use troops on the South Bank and create opportunities for other regiments.

"General Bahu, you don't know yet. The main force of the Zhangwu Army was beaten up by the Marquis on the riverside that day. Only some defeated soldiers and fled back to Fuzhou City in a hurry. Now this south bank must be pacified soon." People's plan is not as good as the heaven's plan. Sun Yu did not expect that the battle would be so smooth. The hidden line of Bahu would not have been there.

That's important.

"It's so fast, then I have to go quickly." Chen Qiba heard this, picked up the sledgehammer and prepared to board the raft. If he didn't come, the war would be over. He still hasn't released a single arrow. I don't know when this kind of war will happen next time.

"Oh, General Bahu, listen to me, you might as well stay. Let's take down this Minqing City first and stabilize the south bank." Zheng Tu was thinking about this Minqing City every day, but unfortunately he couldn't eat it alone, for fear of losing his teeth.

"Are you a pig? The south bank of the Minjiang River is as stable as Mount Tai. It's just like a broken county town. Sooner or later, I'm delaying my work here." Chen Qiba was not stupid. This time he not only brought all the Second Regiment, but also borrowed three thousand elite soldiers from his father. Of course, if he had to pay, he had to get some military merits, otherwise his father would be laughed to death.

Zheng Tu looked embarrassed when he was criticized. That's the truth. The key is that Chen Qiba was famous for being stupid before, but today he was despised, and he was so embarrassed.

"Waiting for my good news!" After Chen Qiba said that, he ordered the soldiers to immediately support the pole, leave the river bank, and continue downstream.

Zheng Tu had no choice but to wave his hand. He wanted to go with him, but if he was run out by the Zhangwu army in the city, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

On the wall of Minqing County, the guard Lin Bolan's heart was hanging in his throat. He had been staring at him for a long time, but the other party finally had no troops together. Such a huge movement on the river surface naturally could not hide the guards on the city.

"Mr. Yao, how are you preparing for the reward of the defenders? Two days have passed." Seeing the raft gradually leaving and continuing downstream, Lin Bolan breathed a sigh of relief and said to the county magistrate Yao Peiyu next to him.

By the way, Yao Peiyu has been running to the city for the past two days without any trouble. If reinforcements come on the other side, he doesn't want to surrender.

"General Lin is still raising money, wait a while." Yao Peiyu had no choice. Such a large amount of money was not easy to take out.

"Why don't Lord Yao urge me?" Lin Bolan felt that the Minqing County town could not last long, so he had to get the money back to Fuzhou City as soon as possible. Although the army on the river did not land here, it must be a good thing, and he would definitely be trying to seize other places.

"Don't worry, General Lin, I will go and urge you again." Yao Peiyu was unhappy, but he was unwilling to make a fuss with him. He immediately handed over the city wall. Although Lin Bailan was not a good fight, if he was really anxious, everyone in the city would do nothing.

In the county government, a group of officials were waiting for Yao Peiyu to go back and get his ideas. The money was going to be paid tomorrow. What should I do? It is time to come up with a charter, so I can't delay it anymore.

"Everyone, I saw about tens of thousands of elite troops coming from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River and heading east. I don't know where to go." Yao Peiyu looked heavy, and the strength of the loyal and brave army was much stronger than he thought.

Originally, the loyal and brave army had an absolute advantage, and with this group of elite troops, it is probably between the two sides whether Fuzhou City can be saved.

"Mr. Yao, what you said seriously?" County Magistrate Hou Bingxian looked nervous. If this were the case, I'm afraid that the Minqing City would inevitably fall.

"Of course, all the soldiers on the city wall have seen it with their own eyes, how can I

Will you lie to you and wait?" Yao Peiyu didn't care about the other party's suspicion, after all, everyone is now grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Everyone, we should make a decision. If this Lin surname is not good at defending the city, he must have these 30,000 taels, and he may have other plans." Hou Bingxian had originally tended to surrender, but now he has made up his mind. If he paid the 30,000 taels and could defend the city, he would be willing. But the current situation is impossible to defend, so he naturally does not want to pay the money in vain.

"It's so great, I'm afraid that the other party will run away with the money and leave us to clean up the mess." The chief clerk also spoke out for support. If he really wants to defend the city, he should work with them to overcome difficulties together, rather than being so aggressive.

"Now, it's not that we don't want to serve the court, but that his surname is Lin, and he has a strange intention. We can't sit still and wait for death for the sake of our family." Hou Bing bowed his hand first. This is because the governor of the Jiedushi didn't know what they knew, so no wonder they were.

"Just rely solely on your position!" The remaining officials expressed their attitude.

Yao Peiyu nodded. Even if this matter was settled, it was time to plan for how to surrender. After all, the matter of guarding the city gate was still in the hands of Lin Bolan.

"Old Tan, you go out of the city tonight and talk to the other party about surrender." Yao Peiyu glanced at Lao Tan who was hiding at the end of the crowd. The old boy thought that if he was hiding behind, he would be able to escape this matter.

"My dear sir, this matter is too big, I can't do it." Old Tan looked aggrieved. He had no official position and had no property in the city. Whether General Lin or Zhongyong Army entered the city, it had little to do with him, so why bother to take this risk?

"Old Tan, after this trip, what do you have to do with the widow He in the west of the city? "Hou Bingxian is a local big family. If this matter is done, he will benefit the most, so of course he has to do his best to promote it.

Lao Tan had been coveting the widow He for a long time. He ran to the small restaurant held by widow He in the west of the city for nothing, but he never took advantage of it. This man was a cheap man. The more he couldn't get it, the more itchy he felt. He went to have two drinks when he had time all day, and was seen by the servants of Hou Bingxian's family and reached his ears.

"Mr. Hou, can you have a way to do this?" Old Tan was startled. He thought he was hiding very tightly, but he didn't expect that he had been seeing it for a long time. He had been thinking about Widow He for a long time and had no choice. He was curious about what method Hou Da Nao used.

"Why is Widow He unwilling to pay attention to you? It's just that you feel that you are unreliable. If you go through this, you will be able to do it. If you go through this, the deed of the house in her restaurant is in my hands, and I will pass directly to your name. If you use this as a stepping stone, can you still not be able to do it? I'm afraid that you will be reluctant to give it to her after you get the deed of the house." Hou Bingxian sneered, and you can drink some wine every day and your mouth will capture the hearts of others?

Widow He opened a restaurant in the city, and no one had seen anyone. If she were so stupid, she would have been swallowed up in one bite.
