After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 106 Arriving at Xiong County

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei and others led the army and set off.

The army will be on the road day and night and is expected to arrive at the front line in about two and a half days.

Now, all hope can only be pinned on Fu Yanping.

You must keep it.

Zhang Wei thought silently in his heart.

The camera turns to Fu Yanping, who is about to arrive in Xiong County——

"General, Xiong County is ahead."

Liu Ma pointed at the ever-expanding town ahead. It was surrounded by a city wall, and a dark yellow copper gate stood high in the middle of the city wall.

Only when you get closer can you notice the rust on the copper door, which shows its age.

"it is good."

Fu Yanping breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Qifeng's army should be outside the garrison city and has not yet attacked Xiong County.

This made him finally relax a little. He was previously worried that the county magistrate would not be able to defend the city.

"Advance at full speed, make adjustments in Xiong County, take turns guarding, and report the enemy's situation immediately."

he ordered.

After traveling day and night, they had not slept a wink all day. When they arrived at Xiong County, they had to rest for a while to replenish their energy so that they could better repel the powerful enemy.

Soon, the group arrived at Xiong County. Fu Yanping settled down the troops as quickly as possible, and then asked the people in the Xiong County military camp.

"Where is Magistrate Luo? Where is he?"

Unexpectedly, the other party replied with a sneer: "He ran away long ago."

"What?" Fu Yanping's eyes widened in disbelief.

I thought Magistrate Luo would be unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable.

When the disaster was imminent, he ran away immediately. Previously, he had even sent a letter to Luo County Magistrate to defend the city.

Fortunately, Qifeng's army was resting outside and did not attack, otherwise it would be over.

However, the other party didn't notice his suddenly darkened face, and kept chattering:

"That guy has done a lot of harm to the people. Every time something happens, he is the first one to run away. If you expect him to go to the battlefield with us, you might as well expect a pig."

Fu Yanping said coldly: "What about the county captain?"

"What do you want from me, Wang Laohei?" There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then Wang Laohei walked up to him and said seriously, "I am the county captain."

"You?" Fu Yanping looked at the dark, thin man in front of him. When he noticed his empty left arm, he was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Laohei felt a little speechless, "I think they can win with one hand."

I think back then, he was one of the best in the military's combat effectiveness. Even though it has been in ruins for so many years, he is still confident of restoring its former glory.

"This... the county captain doesn't need to force himself," Fu Yanping changed the subject, "How many existing troops are there in Xiong County?"

"As for the army, there are only these people you see."

Wang Laohei pointed at this huge army, but it was almost empty at this time. Fu Yanping had no choice but to turn his attention to the person he had just inquired about.

"Don't look at me, there are only ninety-seven people here."

After saying that, he turned his head.

It has to be said that since the news about Magistrate Luo's escape spread, almost everyone with some money in Xiong County has fled, and only a few of them are left, guarding this small town where only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left. .

"Less than a hundred?!" Fu Yanping almost ran away, "How can we fight with such a small number of people?"

Even if he adds his 20,000 troops, it is still only a fraction of the opponent's 200,000 troops. What's more, after traveling all night, the body and mind are exhausted, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, and it will be difficult to recover in the short term.

"I'm just talking about the army. Of course we have other forces." Wang Laohei then spoke slowly.

"How many?"

"Two hundred." Scarface came from the side and replied.

His eyes were like torches, burning like fire, and he stood behind Wang Laohei: "We meet again."

The last time he met Fu Yanping, he was still catching Fang Yueling with his brothers because of the bounty from Chu Mansion.

This world is really small. Even if you are far away from the capital, people you meet will meet again for various reasons.

"Why are you?" Fu Yanping raised his eyebrows slightly, and he also recognized Scarface.

Although they had only met once before, the scar on the other person's face had always impressed him, so he recognized the person without any difficulty.

"It's nothing to make a fuss about. Wherever there are my brothers, there is me." He smiled heartily and patted Wang Laohei on the shoulder. "Those people are my and Laohei's good brothers, and some of them are Familiar faces who moved from the slums.”

Wang Laohei added: "If the general wants to recruit troops, he may be able to recruit dozens of them in the city."

"Okay, then I'll trouble the county captain." Fu Yanping nodded.

When Wang Laohei heard this, he left in a hurry.

Xiong County only has a few hundred troops, which is far from enough in terms of quantity.

At this point, we can only hope for reinforcements from the rear.

As long as Zhang Wei's army arrives, their probability of winning will increase.

"Hey, how are you doing, mistress?" Scarface interrupted Fu Yanping's surging thoughts. Under the latter's doubtful gaze, he added, "That's the thief you bought."

When he said this, Fu Yanping realized that mistress was Fang Yueling's previous name. He replied calmly: "She is living a good life in the Fu Mansion. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just live well." The corners of Scarface's mouth raised slightly, revealing a happy smile.

The mistress is also his brother.

Previously, the Chu Mansion had offered a reward of one hundred taels of gold to capture the mistress. Let me ask, who in the entire capital, other than the children of those aristocratic families, could be completely unmoved?

He and his brothers pretended to take away the mistress, but he just wanted to catch the mistress and go to a place with few people to avoid the limelight, so he put on a show in front of the mistress's mother.

Mistress's mother, that woman is just a snob. Someone like this can sell her mistress for just ten taels of silver. The mistress is in a critical moment of being wanted. Can he feel at ease with her?

Na Chengxiang misunderstood his meaning, beat him on the spot until his head was buzzing, and cut off contact with him directly afterwards.

Because of this, he never found a chance to explain to his mistress what he did that day until he moved out of the slum.

Thinking about it now, I might have been a little impatient at that time. I was afraid that someone would try to capture Xiaosan, so I was anxious to take her away, but I forgot to explain.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she lives a good life, that's enough.

Thinking this, he smiled happily and walked outside the military camp.

"Wait," Fu Yanping caught up with him, "Thank you."

"Ah?" Scarface didn't seem to respond, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for being willing to stay and defend the city." Fu Yanping replied.

Scarface smiled when he heard this: "I'm not as great as you think. I'm just doing it for my brother."

Fu Yanping, thank you too.

Thank you for once saving Xiao San.
