The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 425 Quenching the Rebellion
Along the way, Luo Hongfan discussed the next thing with Huang Xiaohu.

"Master President, this time we took away 1000 soldiers from Qinglong City, and there are only more than [-] guards left in Qinglong City, and most of them are surrendered troops. I don't know if there will be any problems. Woolen cloth?"

"Lord Luo, you are worrying too much. Although we took away a thousand soldiers, Gu Quan still has five hundred soldiers in his hands, and I believe that Gu Quan will definitely organize the surrendered soldiers and never let them have a chance. Make trouble. And this time I also want to see how capable Gu Quan is."

"That's the case, but Wang Hu only brought two hundred soldiers to Weiyang City. If General Chen really refuses to submit, Gu Quan doesn't have enough troops to attack Weiyang City?"

"So Gu Quan will definitely seek our help when the time comes, Mr. Luo, I think Wang Hu should be fine, and General Chen should be willing to return to Panlong County."

"Master President, how can you be so sure?"

"I just think that Chen Huanzhi is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and when I recruited him, he knew who I am. This time he will definitely not take the risk of setting up his own family."

"But the chairman has forgotten one thing. General Chen was originally a member of the rebellious people. Wouldn't it be very troublesome if he joined the rebellious people at this time?"

"The rioters mentioned by Mr. Luo, are they the Taiping Army?"

"It's the so-called Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If General Chen seeks refuge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in order to protect himself, how will the Chairman plan to deal with it?"

"Hey, what should I do if I really get that field? I can only lead the troops to attack Weiyang City myself."

After Luo Hongfan and Huang Xiaohu returned to Panlong County, Huang Xiaohu went home directly, while Luo Hongfan went to inspect the city defense work.

The next day, Huang Xiaohu held a meeting, Huang Zixuan, Luo Hongfan and Ji Wu all participated.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Although I brought back a thousand soldiers and horses, the current strength of Panlong County is less than 3000. If the officers and soldiers of the imperial court attack us, or the Taiping army attacks us, it is estimated that there are not enough people to deal with it. Do you have any?" Any good advice?"

Luo Hongfan said: "If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacks us, it is very likely that they will directly attack Panlong County, but when the imperial court officers and soldiers come, I am afraid that they will first capture Weiyang or Qinglong City, and then attack Panlong County. As for the lack of troops, I would suggest recruiting a new army and handing it over to Master Ji Wu for training, I wonder what the President thinks?"

Ji Wu said: "I have no problem training the new army, but these people's physical condition is too poor. I am worried that even if it is training, the combat effectiveness will not be very strong."

Huang Zixuan said: "There has been no movement from the Taiping Army. On the contrary, I am a little worried. As for the officers and soldiers of the court, Mr. Luo has also said that they will take Weiyang or the second city of Qinglong first. Moreover, it seems that the court still regards the Taiping Army as the first. The primary enemy, so we cannot take care of us in the short term.”

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's hard to say about the war. It should be that there is a problem within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I heard from my wife that there seems to be some scuffle in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time. We don't know what it is. The officers and soldiers of the court, I'm not worried, anyway, they're just wine bags and rice bags."

Luo Hongfan asked: "How does the president's wife know this?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Don't worry about this, anyway, she only knows a little bit, and she probably doesn't know the specific things. What I'm worried about is that General Chen won't come back. If he is afraid of being punished by the military, if he can't think about it, just go straight to the hospital." Otherwise, it would be quite a headache.”

Ji Wu said: "Why don't you let me go and kill him!"

Huang Xiaohu said: "You are the only one who can fight in Panlong County, Ji Wu, your mission is to ensure the safety of our loved ones, do you understand? My wife and children all need your protection. Ji Wu, train the new army I'll leave it to you."

Luo Hongfan said: "In this case, let me be responsible for recruiting new troops. I don't know what the chairman thinks about it?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Well, since Lord Luo is back, brother Zixuan will continue to be your chief inspector. Lord Luo will resume the post of county magistrate and be responsible for recruiting new troops by the way. Also, the recruitment of craftsmen with special skills, How is it going?"

Luo Hongfan said: "I have arranged for Luo Yun to continue recruiting in Qinglong City. If everything is normal in Weiyang City, then we can recruit technicians from the three cities, and the difficulty will be much less difficult."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Okay, then please trouble Master Luo."

A few days later, Huang Xiaohu received a letter from Feige from Qinglong City, and Gu Quan personally sent someone to gallop back to Panlong County to report the news.

Huang Xiaohu and Luo Hongfan personally received the messenger, but what they heard this time was not good news.

When the messenger saw Huang Xiaohu and Luo Hongfan, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said bitterly, "Master Wang was killed by that surnamed Chen, and the younger one was Lord Wang's bodyguard. He escaped by chance, so Mr. Gu Those with little lives came to report!"

Huang Xiaohu asked: "Do you know how that Chen killed Lord Wang?"

The messenger said: "On that day, Lord Wang rushed to Weiyang City with [-] soldiers, and left more than a dozen people to prepare horses outside the city. Lord Wang was worried that there would be fraud, so he ordered us not to dismount our horses, and we must rush to Weiyang City as soon as possible Go back to Qinglong City to report the news."

Luo Hongfan said, "Why are you alright?"

The messenger said: "The young one happened to be one of the dozen or so people who stayed outside the city, so when the surnamed Chen led the army to rush out, we hurriedly fled back to Qinglong City to report the news."

Huang Xiaohu said: "How do you know that Mr. Wang was killed?"

The messenger gritted his teeth and said, "I saw them holding up Lord Wang's head with long spears. Could it be fake?"

Huang Xiaohu and Luo Hongfan stopped talking, this was basically the situation that Huang Xiaohu didn't want to see at the beginning.

After a while, Huang Xiaohu said to the messenger: "Since this is the case, you should go and rest for a while. After discussing with Lord Luo, I will definitely send someone to attack Weiyang City to avenge Lord Wang."

After the messenger withdrew, Luo Hongfan said: "Master President, what are you going to do?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "What else can I do? At the beginning, I really shouldn't have issued any military orders. Now that I got this field, it can be regarded as pushing General Chen back."

Luo Hongfan said: "My letter has been written very clearly, indicating that the chairman will not pursue his fault, but the person surnamed Chen is still stubborn, which shows that he has long been dissatisfied. Chairman, I think this is a mistake. Good thing."

Huang Xiaohu asked back: "How can this kind of cannibalism be a good thing?"

Luo Hongfan said: "My lord, please listen to my analysis. It is not a bad thing for the surname Chen to expose his nature this time, and the power is not the greatest; for the surname Chen to kill Wang Hu, he must be hated by Gu Quan, Gu Quan is sure." If we focus on revenge, we can gain their trust; Chen will not be so stupid, he will definitely collude with the Taiping Army secretly, so we can know the attitude of the Taiping Army."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Lord Luo, I actually feel a little bad about killing Wang Hu, and if General Chen wasn't worried about being dealt with by the military, he probably wouldn't rebel. Now we have to send troops to attack Weiyang City, and there are not enough troops now. How are these good things?"

Luo Hongfan said: "You don't have to worry about the chairman. If we send 500 people and join Gu Quan to attack Weiyang City, it is estimated that the city will be captured soon. The chairman can let the wind out first, and say that this incident is completely wrong." It was General Chen's fault, the chairman will not hold other people accountable, let alone punish them."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I thought so too at first. Since Lord Luo also planned this way, let Lord Luo handle this matter. As for the attack on Weiyang City, I think it's better to start as soon as possible, otherwise that person surnamed Chen really colluded with Taiping Army, I'm afraid Panlong County will suffer."

Luo Hongfan said: "Yes, the attack on Weiyang City should be carried out immediately. We will notify Gu Quan tomorrow to prepare, and then send troops in two places. At the same time, we will also notify the defenders of Weiyang City. This attack is only to kill the leader of the traitor, and it will not be a disaster. and others."

After Huang Xiaohu and Luo Hongfan finished planning, they immediately went to Ji Wu and explained the situation.

Huang Xiaohu's plan this time is to personally lead the team to attack Weiyang City, and at the same time let Gu Quan assist in attacking the city from the other side.

Two days later, Huang Xiaohu set off from Panlong County with [-] soldiers and horses, preparing to attack Weiyang City.

Gu Quan had received the news a long time ago, so he personally led more than a thousand people to support Huang Xiaohu's army.

Three days later, Huang Xiaohu's army arrived at the foot of Weiyang City, and he personally talked with the guard.

Chen Huanzhi didn't have the face to show up, so he just sent his own soldiers to talk to Huang Xiaohu.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Open the city immediately, and I don't want to embarrass you! This time it's not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame Chen Huanzhi for killing General Wang Hu and committing a rebellion!"

The soldier said: "General Chen said, please leave the chairman as soon as possible, otherwise the arrow will be released."

Huang Xiaohu said furiously: "Since you are treating me like this, don't blame me for being heartless!"

After Huang Xiaohu returned to the army, he immediately ordered Gu Quan to attack the city.

Gu Quan received the order and began to attack the city. At the same time, Huang Xiaohu's army also directly attacked the city.

Chen Huanzhi's troops were originally insufficient, and many soldiers heard that this time they were just going to kill Chen Huanzhi, so most of them had no intention of fighting, and the ones who could finally fight were Chen Huanzhi's personal soldiers, less than [-] people.

After several battles, Chen Huanzhi's soldiers suffered a lot of damage, so the rest of the soldiers saw that the situation was not good, so they opened the city gate directly and let Huang Xiaohu's army enter the city.

Huang Xiaohu didn't care about that much anymore, and directly let the army enter Weiyang City, and then killed those who resisted.

Chen Huanzhi tried to escape with a dozen of his own soldiers, but was discovered by Huang Xiaohu, so this time Huang Xiaohu never gave them any chance and took action himself.

Huang Xiaohu directly captured Chen Huanzhi, and then the rest of his subordinates killed all his own soldiers, and the Weiyangcheng rebellion was put down.

When Chen Huanzhi saw Huang Xiaohu, he said in horror: "Master President, please forgive the villain, give me another chance, and I will swear allegiance to Master President to the death!"

Huang Xiaohu said: "The opportunity was given to you once, but there will never be a second time!"

Chen Huanzhi said with a smile: "The Taiping army will kill them soon, you just wait for death!"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I already knew that you would collude with the Taiping Army, but I never took them seriously. Originally, I didn't want to be an enemy of them, because most of the Taiping Army were poor people, but if If they dare to attack us, they will regret it in the end.”

Huang Xiaohu ordered Chen Huanzhi to be handed over to Gu Quan, and Gu Quan escorted Chen Huanzhi away.
