Sure enough, the messenger jumped down to the ground and said solemnly:
"Report to the Commander--"
He Lingchuan raised his fingers at him and nodded to the teachers and students with his chin.
How can we report military information in front of civilians? This guy is new?
The messenger understood and whispered in his ear: "Three hours ago, the Xiqian puppet army just attacked the Baicheng post station. From the post soldiers, the grooms, to the caravans resting inside, no matter men, women, old or young,
Killed them all. The total number of dead is one hundred and seventeen!"
Sun Fuling, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and noticed that He Lingchuan's jaw was tense.
Xiqiao puppet army bloodbathed the inn? This has not happened for a long time——
Ever since the exchange of strength between Yuheng City and the Xiqian puppet army.
Regardless of whether they are bandits or mountain bandits, they rarely kill all their prey. That is fishing in the swamp. After all, their usual purpose is to make money. If they are so vicious, there will be no newcomers on the trade road.
He Lingchuan asked in a deep voice: "Are there no witnesses?"
"A caravan was just about to enter the inn. When it heard the shouts of killing, it turned around and ran away. As a result, more than half of them were killed, leaving only about ten people." The messenger said, "Master Chao analyzed that these survivors may have been deliberately left by the other party.
of."
Not only did Fushan Lie massacre indiscriminately, he also wanted to let He Lingchuan know immediately:
Yes, I did it.
Is this guy crazy?
Moreover, Baicheng Station is the one closest to Longchuan Lake. It was abandoned for many years. It was not until He Lingchuan regained most of Longchuan that it was renovated and reopened.
This was also the place where he negotiated to recruit the Anqiuhua Gang and other two major water bandit gangs. It can be said that it was the turning point in the subsequent series of events in Takikawa and the beginning of Yuheng City gaining the initiative.
The fact that Fushan Liexuan caused trouble and killed people here was just Chi Guoguo's provocation, and it was no different from throwing a letter of war in He Lingchuan's face.
He Lingchuan stood up and said to Sun Fuling and the masters: "I will go back to the camp first, and you can eat slowly."
Master Liu couldn't hear the conversation between him and the ordering soldier, so he tried to persuade him to stay: "You haven't even eaten a bite of food."
It's an honor to have dinner with the commander-in-chief.
He Lingchuan smiled, took the fish soup from Sun Fuling's hand, drank it all by himself, then wiped his mouth and stuffed the bowl back to her: "It tastes great!"
In full view of everyone, Sun Fuling's face turned red again, and she pinched his arm hard before saying, "Be careful, there will be monsters if something goes wrong."
"I don't have to." He Lingchuan patted the back of her hand, then strode out of the pebble beach, jumped on the horse brought by the ordering soldiers, and didn't look back.
…
In the next two days, four more bloody attacks occurred on the Takigawa Trade Road.
Of course, the Yuheng City Army stepped up patrols.
In order to ensure the success rate, Fushan Lie personally led an elite team of more than 20 people to play hide and seek with the Yuheng City Army on the Longchuan Trade Road.
He changed his strategy, killing if he could, and running if he couldn't. He focused on one who came and went like the wind, appeared and disappeared, and would never let Yuheng City's army catch his tail.
This team killed two people but was hit by the Yuheng Army. Fu Shanlie turned around and ran away without fighting or fighting.
The Yuheng army easily captured four or five prisoners, but he did not turn around to rescue them, and just ran away without a shadow.
This way of playing is very strange.
The Longchuan Commercial Road is so long and the road conditions are so complicated. If he really wants to fight guerrillas, He Lingchuan really doesn't have much to do with these few people.
Our side is in the light, and Fushan Lie is in the dark. The latter only needs to find ways to destroy it.
Destruction is always easier than construction and easier than maintenance.
Fu Shanlie's crazy attack caused an uproar in Yuheng City and Baisha Port.
Is the Takikawa Trade Road not peaceful again?
Can I still take this road in the future?
What happened to the local snake Yuheng City? Can it still be responsible for the safety of business travelers?
Soon, all public opinion turned into pressure and was transmitted to He Lingchuan.
As the commander-in-chief, he is responsible for the safety of the Takichuan Trade Road.
The original strategy of boiling frogs in warm water no longer worked. People from Yuheng City were also killed in these five attacks. The soldiers and civilians in Yuheng City were furious and asked the general to quell the Xiqian puppet army and avenge the innocent dead!
Civilians petitioned, and soldiers petitioned to fight.
Now that Yuheng City has surrounded Longchuan and the situation is very good, why not just remove this rotten scar?
They didn't know He Lingchuan's concerns, and they didn't know that Fu Shanlie, Yuheng City's opponent, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Even if they know, they don't care.
Even the adjutant Chao Qian couldn't help but mention the attack plan in front of him.
The whole city was in a state of agitation.
When the family members of the deceased also came to the gate of the City Health Department to cry and petition, begging Yuheng City to seek justice for them, He Lingchuan knew that this final operation to suppress the bandits could not be delayed any longer.
This is what the people want, and it will be difficult for him to disobey it.
He was still being coerced. He Lingchuan looked up to the sky and sighed. Could this be what Fushan Lie wanted?
Sun Fuling happened to walk into the courtyard and couldn't help but smile when she heard his sigh:
"Are you exhausted these days?"
In the past, He Lingchuan always thought she was missing, but now he is much busier than her. He often stays at the City Health Department, and it is not uncommon for him to stay away from home for half a month in a row.
He Lingchuan finally saw how much work there was to do in a rapidly expanding city and how much trouble was waiting for him.
In reality, he is busy admiring the Shan Islands, entering the world of Panlong at night, and managing Yuheng City.
Working hard day and night is the real 007.
Every day the migrant workers in 996 shed tears of sympathy when they see him.
When he first moved to Yuheng City, Sun Fuling made a stand in his yard and planted clematis.
I don’t know if it’s because the climate here is particularly good. Just over a year later, clematis has climbed all over the wall. The green branches and leaves completely cover the background of the gray wall. The blue-purple flowers are fluttering in the wind, attracting bees.
butterfly.
The Master was dressed in light orange today, with fair skin and beautiful face. As soon as he stood in the courtyard, he injected gentle warmth into the slightly cold flower wall.
The warm sunshine shone on her body, and she was so quiet that she didn't look like a real person.
When He Lingchuan saw her, his heart immediately calmed down and seven out of ten worries were gone.
"Yes. Today, a woman rushed into the City Health Department. Without saying a word, she kowtowed on the stone steps until the steps were stained with blood. The guards thought she was going to kill herself by hitting the rocks." He Lingchuan scratched his head.
Scratching the back of his head, "Her husband died at Baicheng Station a few days ago, and she came to beg me to clear out the Xiqian puppet army."
Sun Fuling nodded: "So, when will we attack?"
"It's almost time." He Lingchuan said seriously, "We can't afford to delay this matter."
He is the chief of a city, and it is his duty to guard peace and redress the grievances of the weak.
Sun Fuling held a bouquet of gardenias in her hand, went into the house, filled the vase with water, then put the flowers in the vase and placed them by the window. In this way, when the breeze came, the whole room was filled with fragrance.
