Hearing that the paper came from the Privy Council, when Zhao Ji took it, he still had some expectations in his heart.

Tong Guan has been in Shandong for so long, and he has heard bad news from the front line. Zhao Ji knew that Tong Guan must have encountered some troubles in Shandong. Originally, Zhao Ji was very concerned about Tong Guan's defeat in the front line. , but when the news that Xuzhou was about to fall suddenly came, Zhao Ji suddenly felt that Tong Guan's fight was pretty good.

Xuzhou, a well-established state capital located in the heart of the Song Dynasty, was actually attacked by the Supervisory Committee, which was hundreds of miles away. The officials of the Song Dynasty were helpless. In contrast, Tong Guan led an army of [-] people directly into Shandong. He also captured several county towns in the hinterland of the country, which can be regarded as a great feat of martial arts.

The last time Tongguan came to the front line, it was said that they were planning to attack Dongping Mansion, and the letter this time must be a follow-up to what they said.

Now Zhao Ji doesn't have much hope for Tong Guan's ability to conquer Dongping Mansion. What he thinks is that no matter whether the battle is successful or not, the news will definitely bring great shock to those civil servants in the court who dare not go to war.

You said that the supervisory committee can't fight, but let you see that Tong Guan can also fight in front of Shandong.

It was Zhao Ji's usual method to use Tong Guan to beat officials who did not obey his orders. Now that he saw Tong Guan's notes, Zhao Ji felt much happier. With this in mind, he opened Tong Guan's notebook and looked at it twice. After that, Zhao Ji's originally smiling face gradually became dull.

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji trembled all over and took several deep breaths, "But, what is it like?"

The news that Tong Guan gave him ten days ago was that they had captured Shouzhang County and were planning to attack Dongping Mansion. Why did Tong Guan's news that they were retreating to Kaide Mansion just ten days later?

Even if Zhao Ji has never been out of Bianliang, he knows that Kaide is not on the east side of Shouzhang, but on the west side of Shouzhang.

Zhao Ji was very unwilling to believe what happened at Tongguan's front line, but after a long time, he still had to pick up the memorial on the shore and continue reading.

While looking at Zhao Ji, I felt the veins in my neck throbbing, the more I looked at it, the more out of breath I became.

Tong Guan's 2 troops were defeated directly in the battle on the front line of Dongping Mansion. Now Tong Guan only led more than [-] troops to retreat to Kaide "Xu Tu Recovery". Zhao Ji felt that his eyes were blurry. The [-] troops mobilized from the most benign place in the capital almost wiped out the defense of the capital, and now he defeated it in one battle... Is this protection army really so powerful?

Just when Zhao Ji felt that his chest was stuffy and almost passed out, he saw a small yellow door approaching the front of the hall. Zhao Ji felt that it might not be a good thing, but he still stretched out his hand tremblingly, and took it. As soon as the memorial was opened, Zhao Ji instantly felt more advanced

While the Protectorate Army fought in the Dongping Battle and the south attacked Xuzhou, the Supervisory Committee surrounding Shandong was also not idle.

Anyway, the face has been torn apart, and Dengzhou simply instigated uprisings by supervisory committees everywhere.

At this time, on top of the memorials Zhao Ji received were urgent documents from various places.

……

It is less than fifty miles away from Qingzhou, Shangrao County, which is the core area of ​​Binzhou near the Supervisory Committee. The county magistrate here is named Li Jifu. Since he took office two years ago, Li Jifu has been worried all day long.

As the county magistrate of Shangrao County, Li Jifu hated the Supervisory Council. In addition to the fact that the Supervisory Council disrespected the king and rebelled against the Heavenly Soldiers, the more important thing was that Li Jifu actually came from a wealthy family. His own family in Shanxi owned tens of thousands of fertile fields. Mother, the innate class concept made Li Jifu think that all the actions of the Supervisory Committee were perverse, so since he became the county magistrate of Shangrao, Li Jifu has tried his best to engage in various activities against the Supervisory Committee.Li Jifu also fully supported the assassination of Sun Xin before, and it was precisely because of his resolute anti-supervisory council attitude that Shangrao County, Binzhou Prefecture, which is only a short distance away from Qingzhou, became Da Song's under the supervision council's eyes. A bastion of domination.

Li Jifu's life has not been easy recently. Ever since the news came last month that Tong Guan led an army of [-] to attack Shandong, Li Jifu knew that the Great Song River Supervisory Committee was really going to break up.

On the one hand, he was very excited about the news that the heavenly soldiers had finally arrived, but on the other hand, Li Jifu was also worried about the county magistrate's defense.

The Supervisory Committee's activities in Shangrao County became more and more frequent. Li Jifu knew that these guards and the armed forces under the Supervisory Committee were not easy to deal with. If they really sent troops to attack Shangrao County, his city defense was quite worrying.

In order to prevent Shangrao from being breached by the Supervisory Committee, Li Jifu began to organize Xiangyong Baojia to replenish the county's troops a month ago, but this morning he received the news that Tong Guan's army had been driven away from Shandong, and Li Jifu was even more worried.

In this way, his Shangrao County must become a thorn in the side of the Supervisory Committee. I am afraid that the army of the Supervisory Committee will kill his Shangrao County in the near future.

After thinking about it, Li Jifu couldn't sit still in the yamen, so he hurriedly called Chen Dutou and Li Dutou to come.

"Have the Baojia rosters of each village been reported?"

Hearing this, Chen Tou and Li Tou both had embarrassed looks on their faces.

"Sir, the security thieves are raging everywhere now. People in all villages are afraid to speak out. When it comes to the security post, everyone is shidding away, fearing that it will not be completed until next month."

Li Jifu slammed the table and said, "Nonsense, how can such matters related to the safety of the county magistrate be taken lightly?"

He thought for a while and then nodded to Chen and Li and said, "Which Zhuangzi didn't come up with the guaranteed leave quota?"

Seeing that he had such a big temper, Li Chen didn't dare to hide it, so he mentioned the names of the four villages. After hearing this, Li Jifu thought about it, and pointed out, "Go to Shuidong Village first."

In order to protect his own safety, Li Jifu was also willing to pay, and specially ordered more than 100 local soldiers from the county to accompany him.

Although Li Jifu hated the Supervisory Committee deeply, he had a good face.He knew that many wealthy households in Shangrao County were secretly doing business with the Supervisory Committee, so he used this as a threat to blackmail them. These wealthy households had nothing to do, so they got him a lot of money. So he firmly grasped the local soldiers in Shangrao County. The combat effectiveness of the local soldiers in this county was no worse than that of the Song Dynasty's official army. This was his real confidence to run rampant in the countryside.

With such a large number of troops, Li Jifu felt that he could escape safely even if the protection army called him. It would not matter if he went to a village.

Zhang Luo spent the whole morning, Li Jifu sat in the sedan chair and got up in the afternoon.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, when he saw Shuidong Village, although Li Jifu didn't know much about martial arts, he knew that he brought an iron fork to defend himself.
