Chapter 169

Gong Ge's pavilion is not under the rule of Zhongshui Township, but the distance between the two is only a few miles away. As soon as he received the news, he rushed over immediately.

"Fifth brother..." Seeing Gong Ge approaching in a hurry with a gloomy face, Gong Fei greeted him outside the door with a sad expression: "Second brother, third brother, and fourth brother are all dead. From now on, only You and I are two brothers."

Gong Ge endured his grief, followed Gong Fei into the door, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, have you notified the family?"

"Not yet." Gong Fei shook his head. "We two brothers discuss it first, and then notify the family before it's too late."

Gong Ge shook his head secretly, elder brother is good everywhere, but he lacks determination, and said: "Eldest brother, there is nothing to discuss, quickly send someone back to inform the family, and let them gather the clan's children, tribes, guests, and get together frivolous, ranger , come here to meet up. Also send people into the mountains and invite all the tribes of the mountain barbarians to send troops to help."

Seeing that Gong Fei was still hesitant, Gong Ge knew his worry, and sighed, "Brother, Liu Jing, son, is sinister and cruel, and Chu Fang is a thief, and has always had grudges against my family. We will definitely not give up. Our Gong family has no way out, if we can attack and kill Liu Jing Xiaoer, there may still be a glimmer of life, if we hesitate a little, our family will be wiped out!"

Gong Fei didn't know this truth, but it was hard for him to make a decision. Now that he heard Gong Ge's words, he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "It's just according to Fifth Brother."

After finishing speaking, he immediately dispatched people to report to the family and Jingman respectively.Afterwards, the two brothers talked in secret until night fell. Gong Ge did not spend the night in Zhongshui Township, but rushed back to Tingbu overnight.

As we all know, although the head of the pavilion has a humble position, he has great power in the village. On the one hand, he has the duty to catch thieves, and on the other hand, he also has the duty to collect taxes and conscripts. It is easy to gather money, attract guests, and be prominent in the village.

Gong Ge was quite prestigious in office, and early the next morning, he gathered guests and officials in front of the pavilion department, first seduced them with love, and then lured them with wealth, and got more than [-] people, and went to Zhongshui Township together.

Gong Fei was not idle here. After recruiting more than a hundred people, he personally visited many wealthy families in Zhongshui Township. Although they were rejected, there were still three families who agreed to send a team to help out of affection.

When the family's large army arrived, the three parties added up, and the number exceeded 300.

The hastily gathered disciples were dressed in different colors and had various weapons in their hands. When more than 1000 people gathered together, it was inevitable that there would be hatred among each other, quarreling, and even fisting each other, which could not be stopped.

Looking at the mob in front of him, Gong Fei couldn't stop beating in his heart. It would be like a fool's dream to rely on these people to conquer Ling County.

Gong Ge also felt a big headache, so he comforted his elder brother and said, "Brother, don't worry, as soon as the mountain barbarians arrive, we will have 400 people, and Ling County will only have [-] people at most. Ling county."

"What the fifth brother said is true." At this point, Gong Fei could only comfort himself in this way.

However, Jingman came much later than they expected, and did not arrive in Zhongshui Village until two days later.

There is no way, they don't have a unified leader, and there are many cottages, each with their own opinions, and they can't be the same. Just discussing the number of troops to send, they quarreled for a whole day.

Fortunately, they also knew that the matter was urgent, so they gathered 800 people as quickly as possible and went down the mountain to support Gong.

Gong Fei and Gong Ge knew that they must rely on them a lot this time, so when they met, they gave a big gift, and agreed that they would double the gift afterwards, and the Gong family would never treat them badly.

Jing Man's mind is relatively simple, they were treated favorably by Gong Ying and Gong Fu in the past, and when they heard that they were brutally killed, all the people were excited, and all the man wanted to avenge the two of them.In addition, Mrs. Gong is not stingy with rewards now, everyone is grateful and willing to be a pioneer in order to repay Mrs. Gong's kindness.

Before departure, brothers Gong Fei and Gong Ge held a simple swearing-in ceremony. In addition to splashing dirty water on Liu Jing, Gong Ge also chopped off a few rangers who made too much trouble, and used their heads to sacrifice the flag, in order to Purge military discipline.

This move still played a very good effect, at least no one dared to openly make trouble again.

The so-called South Ship North Horse, there are many rivers in Jingnan area, and boats can be said to be the most convenient means of travel.

The Gong brothers led the disciples, together with Jingman, or took a boat or a bamboo raft, and marched along the water.

Zhongshui Township is more than [-] miles away from Lingxian County. If you travel in a hurry, you can arrive before dark.

Gong Ge suggested to hurry. Doing so would definitely catch Liu Jingxiaoer by surprise, and he might be able to enter Ling County without much effort.What Liu Jing relied on was just the city wall. Without the protection of the city wall, they would attack it with ten times more troops, and their chances of winning would increase greatly.

Gong Fei was a little hesitant, isn't it too risky to do so?These people were a mob, and they rushed nearly a hundred miles a day. Even if they reached Ling County, they had already become a tired army. Once they were attacked by Ling County, they would probably be defeated and scattered.

Seeing his brother's hesitant look, Gong Ge sighed heavily in his heart, and persuaded him: "Brother, the leader of the army is the most taboo to be suspicious and less decisive. Our brothers are now in a desperate situation. This time we raise an army, if we win or die, we can only take risks." Only by fighting hard can we succeed.”

"Maybe it's really like what the fifth brother said, I'm not suitable for leading the army..." Gong Fei was persuaded by Gong Ge again, and made a compromise: "Well, fifth brother, you are decisive and have martial arts skills, so just follow your I mean to do it."

Gong Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up their march.

Xiangshui is the largest river in Jingnan area, and also the hub of waterway transportation between Central Plains and Jiaozhou.

The Xiangshui River in Ling County is just between Changsha and Lingling counties. It is quite busy with merchant ships on weekdays, but now there are no merchant ships on the water of the Xiang River. Obviously, Ling County has issued a water ban.

Occasionally, some fishing boats would catch a glimpse of Gong's disciples and Jing Man from a distance, and they would immediately run away.

The weather in Ling County today is rare and clear, and the red sun gradually sinks from the middle of the sky until it sinks into the west mountain.After a day's hasty journey, the Gong family and the Jingman allied forces finally arrived at the capital of Ling county.

They landed in the waters between Xiangshui and Linghu Lake. At this time, they were less than ten miles away from Lingxian County.But until now, Ling County has still not responded.

Gong Ge and Gong Fei couldn't help but glanced at each other, it seemed that they had made the right bet.

Without further ado, they led more than [-] Chinese and barbarian allied troops to advance at an accelerated pace. When they encountered civilians on the way, they ignored them and went straight to Ling County.

After bypassing a pictographic mountain, the city of Ling County can be clearly seen. To the surprise of the Gong brothers, the gate of the city of Ling County has not yet been closed.

"Kill!"
