Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 428 Those damn private salt dealers again... (one more)
In Xiuzhou City, that Zhizhou He and several Xiuzhou officials stood in the hall tremblingly at the moment.

He looked helplessly at Zhu Gui who took the main seat as a matter of course.

Zhu Gui, who was enshrined by Zhu Xi as the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, led 1000 troops, and cooperated with the internal support of the Zhu family in Xiuzhou, and led the army into Xiuzhou City with ease.

This Xiuzhou He Zhizhou, who had been in the same ranks with the Zhu family's father and son, was also a bachelor. He immediately expressed his willingness to end the chaos, to serve the King of Wu, and to become a loyal minister under the King of Wu.

But the problem is that Luo Ming, the commander of the state's soldiers and horses who has just taken office not long ago, led the sword and poker players to fight back.

There was a fierce battle between the two sides in Xiuzhou City, but what Luo Ming didn't expect was that his subordinates joined forces with the Zhu family and rebelled.

In the end, Luo Ming was killed, and the state soldiers who had fought fiercely for a long time were leaderless, and many of them were unwilling to join the bandits, so they broke up and left. Only then did Zhu Gui seize control of Xiuzhou City.

But even if Luo Ming's head had been hung outside the government office, Zhu Gui still felt angry.

After all, the 1000 troops I brought with me were the well-trained Zhu family's guard team. In the end, they lost more than a hundred in one battle, and the state soldiers in this state went through such a battle.

Except for some people who had secretly communicated with the Zhu family, the rest scattered away.

This made Zhu Gui, who was full of confidence and wanted to directly take over the Xiuzhou state soldiers, very painful.

He had no choice but to ask that He Zhizhou to quickly write down the Anmin Announcement, and let the generals who made the report recruit those young men from the city to join the army.

Just when he, the general, was arranging the affairs of Xiuzhou in an orderly manner, a fast horse galloped to the gate of the government office, and the scouts on the horse rushed in.

Soon, Zhu Gui found out that an unidentified group of people was found ten miles south of Jiaxing City, the seat of Xiuzhou, and was approaching Jiaxing City.

He wanted to step forward to inquire, but was scared off by the arrows shot by the opponent.

Facing Zhu Gui, he asked how many troops the other party had.

This very unprofessional scout rolled his eyes for a long time before he hesitated.

"Because the opponent has bows and arrows, the general dare not get too close, so he can only wait and see from a distance. I am afraid that there will be three to five hundred people."

Hearing this scale, He Zhizhou suddenly showed a look of surprise, and curled his lips indifferently.

"If it's on this scale, it's likely to be those damn private salt dealers again..."

#####
"Private salt dealers..." Zhu Gui also realized that there are quite a few salt farms in the coastal area south of Xiuzhou.

The county going south from Jiaxing was named after Haiyan, and it was directly called Haiyan County, and there are five or six large salt fields in the coastal area of ​​Haiyan County.

But wherever there are salt fields, professional smugglers such as private salt dealers are indispensable.

Moreover, all private salt dealers belong to the type of gang crimes, and few of them fight alone.

A large-scale private salt gang is going to make a lot of money.On the Xiuzhou side, groups of private salt dealers often appear in groups, which is normal.

But now, for Zhu Gui, who is short of major generals, this is really dozing off and someone gives him a pillow.

Salt smugglers are a group of violent smuggling gangs who are willing to kill themselves with knives for money.

And they don't deal with the government, if I can recruit them, isn't it...

And as long as I can recruit a group of them and let them spread the news, I believe that thousands of private salt dealers will join my team.

A group of private salt dealers randomly threw a few official positions on their foreheads, and then scattered some money over.Don't worry about these guys not taking orders from me.

Having figured it out, Zhu Gui quickly came to the scout and asked again.

"Are you sure it's 500 people?"

Facing the murderous General Zhu Gui, who was still bloodstained on his armor and armor.

A few days ago, Tan Qi, who was the head of the Zhu family's groom, pursed his lips nervously, and nodded vigorously.

"The end general feels that it should be about the same..."

"Okay, okay, haha, come here, prepare horses for this commander, the whole army... no, leave half of them to garrison in the city, will General He be willing to go with this commander to persuade those private salt dealers to surrender?"

General He, the one who backstabbed coach Luo Ming before, stood up quickly after hearing Zhu Gui's words and saluted.

"The final general is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the master."

"Hahaha, okay... Let's go out of the city with this commander."

And just as the city was buzzing, Zhu Gui was about to lead his army out of the city.

Fang La outside the city was also very distressed, originally he was thinking of sneaking into Xiuzhou City.

See if there is a chance to sneak attack and take that Xiuzhou City, but unexpectedly, the team will encounter the scout cavalry sent by that Xiuzhou City.

It's a pity that the archery skills of my brothers are too poor. Of the three scouts, only two were killed, and there was one left, watching the other party hit the horse and flee.

Fang La looked at Fang Qifo, who was ordered by him to be in command of the former army, with a dark face. This tall and strong cousin, but at the moment his face was full of obsequious smiles.

"Forget it, it's still daytime after all, and I didn't expect that the other party would send scouts to search for the enemy."

#####
"Boss, what shall we do next?"

Fang Qifo scratched his head and smiled honestly.

"What else can I do?" Standing on the low hill, Fang La looked at Xiuzhou City, which was still seven or eight miles away.

Going forward, it is a gentle rice paddy field, with little shelter.

Even if you want to get close, I'm afraid you have to wait until night.

Just when Fang La was about to give an order, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly let out a small sigh.

It seems that a team of hundreds of people is heading this way, and they are holding the flag high.

This is after the scouts in Xiuzhou City discovered their team, they sent soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress it?
But this number seems to be too little... Fang La scratched his head for a long time, rolled his eyes for a long time, and immediately gave instructions to the generals around him.

"Seven Buddhas, you lead 300 people to camp by the small river on the left, pretending to bury the pot and make food."

"what?"

"Oh shit, I just let you lure the enemy there, understand?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, big brother, there will definitely be nothing wrong with it, and I will do it right away, little brother."

Seeing this prestige cousin puff up his eyes again, Fang Qifo hurriedly scrambled towards the distance.

Gathered a group of subordinates, came to the small river and began to raise piles of bonfires.

Even in order to be more realistic, Fang Qifo asked some people to go down to the river to wash rice, get water, and let people build a stove and pot.

And Fang La, who had changed from a standing posture to squatting on a low hill, became more confused the more he looked.

Is the opponent's general out of his mind, or is the scout who discovered Fang Qifo's team already stuck in the middle of the road?
