"This is a rebellion. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the nine tribes are to be punished. Let alone the governor and the general soldier. Even if the king Qian Sui pleads for mercy, it will not work." Yang Yuqian said angrily.

Fatty Xu clapped his hands, attracted the attention of several people, and said: "Okay, it's useless to say all this now. From now on, we have to keep an eye on the shareholders of Dongshan Chamber of Commerce and not let them do anything against them."

If something bad happens to the flag, if something happens to the tiger-character flag, it will not be good for us."

Li Lidong and Wang Shuochen nodded. Yang Yuqian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded along with them.

Fatty Xu continued: "The Tiger-Character Banner also has business at sea. You guys will each select some of your children and see if you can let the Tiger-Character Banner send them to the sea. Even if we people are liquidated by the court in the future, we can still be considered as the ones who are here to stay."

The next root will not lead to extinction."

"Will Liu Heng agree?" Li Lidong asked hesitantly.

Fatty Xu said: "We have done so much for him, so he shouldn't object to such a small request."

"Can we all go to sea? The property in Lingqiu can be sold to Tiger Flag." Wang Shuochen said.

Fatty Xu glanced at him and asked, "If it were you, would you agree?"

"This..." Wang Shuochen hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.

If he were Liu Heng, he would definitely hope to have as many people around him as possible, so that he could have more confidence when facing the imperial army in the future.

Fatty Xu withdrew his gaze from Wang Shuochen, looked at the other people around him, and said: "Okay, everyone, let's go back and decide who will leave earlier. I'm worried that the court won't give the Tiger Flag too long, so you guys

Be quick and don't be too late, otherwise no one will be able to leave by then."

Li Lidong, Yang Yuqian and Wang Shuochen all bid farewell.

They didn't know that Zhang Huai had led the army to Guangling County.

Guangling borders Lingqiu. If you are in a hurry, you can reach Lingqiu County in more than half a day at most.

The soldiers and horses Zhang Huai brought this time were all personal servants of each family. Most of them were equipped with war horses, and they numbered nearly a thousand people.

However, the team came out in a hurry and did not carry much dry food. They collected food and grass from whichever county they went to along the way.

When we arrived in Guangling, we had to collect grain and grass from Guangling County, so we naturally had to stay in Guangling for one more day. After all, the amount of grain and grass needed by thousands of people was not small, and collecting it also took time.

As the army passed through the border, Guangling County closed the city gate early, and Zhang Huai led the army to stay outside the city for the night.

Bandits are passing like soldiers passing through, and no official wants an army to cross the border under his rule. The same is true for the magistrate of Guangling County. However, he cannot stop this kind of thing and can only cooperate. What he can do is to close the city gate and prevent it from happening.

The army entered the city.

Zhang Huai brought with him all his own soldiers and servants, and they also did some banditry along the way. However, because of the restraints of various military commanders and the fact that they were on the road all the way, except for some unlucky common people, all the common people suffered disasters.

Not much.

"Sir, we will be able to arrive at Lingqiu tomorrow. Should we go to Lingqiu County first, take the soldiers and horses from Lingqiu garrison camp, and go to destroy the Tiger Flag again and again." Li Kaiyang sat next to Zhang Huai and said.

Huang An was still one of Lingqiu's garrison guards at the beginning. He was quite familiar with the situation of the Lingqiu garrison camp and knew that the Lingqiu garrison camp could muster at least several hundred troops.

Zhang Huai shook his head and said: "Lingqiu garrison Wang Tong used to be a member of a thousand households in the garrison camp. He has been in Lingqiu longer than Li Huaixin. Who can guarantee that he has not betrayed the imperial court."

Li Kaiyang also came from an official family and had been exposed to it since he was a child. Hearing Zhang Huai's words, he understood that Lingqiu Guards had been abandoned by Zhang Huai. In the future, after the tiger-character flag was cleared, the official scapegoat would be Wang Tong, the Lingqiu Guardsman.

Zhang Huai picked up the wine cup and drank a cup of wine. He took a breath of cool breath and said: "Tell the generals below that no one is allowed to leave the camp tonight. If you want to have fun, there will be plenty of opportunities after tomorrow."

"Don't worry, sir, these generals have been handed over." Li Kaiyang responded.

Zhang Huai nodded.

The place where the officers and soldiers camped was a village outside the city. The people's houses were requisitioned, and all the people inside were driven out. Several generals lived together in the best house in the village.

In the middle of the night, Zhuangzi became quiet, and the original bonfires were all extinguished.

More than a dozen figures appeared outside Zhuangzi and entered Zhuangzi in the dark.

"Be careful and don't alert the officers and soldiers inside." The person walking in front whispered to the person behind.

The people who came to Zhuangzi at night did not look for generals like Zhang Huai, nor did they look for ordinary sergeants. Instead, they went all the way to the stables where the army's horses were parked.

Originally, some people in Zhuangzi had dogs, but so many officers and soldiers suddenly came to Zhuangzi, and the dogs barked noisily for a long time. Even if there were dogs barking at night, no one would care.

The soldiers and servants brought by each military general did not live together, and the horses they brought were not parked in one place, but were parked in several places.

There was someone guarding the horse pen, but it was already late at night, and those who stayed behind had already found a warm place to sleep.

After a dozen black shadows entered Zhuangzi, they divided into several groups and dispersed.

In one of the horse pens next to Zhuangzi, several dark figures touched it.

One person inside found the guard of the horse pen and directly wiped the guard's neck with a knife.

After doing all this, he walked around the horse pen again. After making sure that no one was there, he started to sprinkle things into the manger, and then mixed it with his hands several times. After doing all this, he retreated in the dark.

Got out.

In the past half an hour or so, a dozen black figures that entered Zhuangzi appeared outside Zhuangzi.

One of the black figures whispered: "Have you alerted the officers and soldiers?"

No one around him answered, they just shook their heads at him.

The black shadow continued: "Okay, let's go."

More than a dozen black shadows moved away from Zhuangzi in the night, and finally disappeared under the black screen in the distance.

At dawn the next day, not long after Zhang Huaigang woke up, and before he could wash up, he saw Li Kaiyang walking in quickly from outside.

When they got close, they heard Li Kaiyang say: "Sir, it's not good. Most of the horses we brought have died, and the people who stayed in the horse pen at night have also been killed."

Zhang Huai's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know." Li Kaiyang shook his head and then said, "I suspect it was the people from the Tiger Flag. Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing."

"Damn it." Zhang Huai kicked over the wooden frame in front of him and knocked the copper basin on it to the ground.

Without the war horses, the combat effectiveness of the official army was greatly reduced, and the original strength was less than 23/10.

"Sir, what should we do next? Do we still want to go to Lingqiu?" Li Kaiyang asked aloud.
