The auspicious time has come!

Hong Anbang lurked in Tongzhou City for several months, and the time for waiting was finally here.

Zhao Gang hurried back to the mansion, and he brought the news that Hong Anbang wanted the most.

"Mr. Hong, Congliang's personal soldiers left in a hurry, without even heavy equipment. They set out lightly and rushed to Anlu. Congliang ordered us to mobilize as much livestock as possible to transport supplies. We must prepare all the goods today. Those who violate the orders and those who delay will be killed!"

"Give it to him, give it to him all, Mr. Zhao, your Zhao family can give as much livestock as you can!" Hong Anbang said with a smile.

"Is Congliang going to run away?" Zhao Donglei asked.

"He can't run away!" Hong Anbang smiled and said, "His personal soldiers have gone to Anlu, transporting supplies and organizing large-scale retreats. This requires him to coordinate. He will not leave for the time being. I guess he will wait for Xiong Kuohai's troops to return and go with Xiong's troops. Before that, he will stay in Tongzhou City to calm the hearts of the army and the people."

"Master Hong is thinking," Zhao Donglei asked tentatively.

"Catch the good alive!" Hong Anbang said firmly: "I said that the auspicious time has come."

"Although Congliang's personal soldiers have left, there are new recruits recruited by Xiao Zhongze in Tongzhou City. Congliang will definitely use these people." Zhao Donglei took a breath, "There are nearly 20,000 people."

"The local dog, the chicken ear!" Hong Anbang sneered disdainfully, "Old Master Zhao can still count on these people to come in handy."

"That's what you said, but after all, many ants bite the elephant to death!" Zhao Donglei was worried.

"Old Master Zhao, I don't believe that you didn't arrange personnel among these strong men. Now it's time to come in handy. Rumors, intimidation, wishes, and promises. This is a good match for Mr. Zhao, so you don't have to pretend to be in front of me. What we Zhengbei Mansion promises you will definitely give you."

Zhao Donglei smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Zhongze is moving too!"

"Don't worry, if you have good luck, you must give priority to military supplies and other things first. Even if Xiao Zhongze wants to transfer the gold, silver and fine materials in his home, he must give permission to good luck. Good luck is a standard soldier." Hong Anbang laughed. "Congliang sent his personal soldiers away, which means he handed himself to us. If God doesn't take it, he will be punished by God!"

Zhao Donglei looked at Hong Anbang, "Master Hong, why do I feel that you had expected that this day, Ma You and the three thousand people were waiting for this moment."

Hong Anbang smiled mysteriously, "Everything is in control. Old Master Zhao, you will naturally not suffer any losses if you follow us." Turning to look at Zhao Gang, "Brother Zhao, you should go back quickly. At this time, you should work harder for Congliang. When the time comes, I will let someone notify you to leave."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and leave!" Zhao Gang nodded repeatedly.

Hong Anbang looked back and said to a follower beside him: "Go and notify Ma You and others to come here."

The city of Tongzhou was already full of chaos. Even though the government tried hard to conceal the news, the army rushed to set off, and countless livestock pulled carts and started transporting trucks of supplies outward. It was because everyone knew that something big happened. At this time, rumors began to spread in the city and the streets began to get messy.

Burning, killing, looting suddenly seemed to appear in Tongzhou City. From time to time, there would be fires coming out from somewhere. As Hong Anbang said, the strong men captured by Xiao Zhongze not only failed to play a role, but started to have bad things. In Tongzhou City, seven or eight of them were caused by them. After the good soldiers left, there was no longer any existence in the city that could suppress them. As for those yamen runners, facing these guys, what could they do except hide themselves.

Chengliang could not control these things anymore. The only thing he could do now was to transport away a large amount of military ordnance gathered in Tongzhou. With these things, when he arrived in Weizhou, he could organize another line of defense and delay the pace of the Northern Army.

At this time, what Congliang didn't know was that a huge danger had begun to approach him. In the midst of chaos, some dangerous figures were quietly gathering, and their goal was to Congliang, who was busy in the dark.

"The auspicious time has come. We will capture the good alive and control Tongzhou before Xiongkuohai returns to Tongzhou!" Hong Anbang looked at Ma You, Ye Ping and other naval marines, and told the truth.

"I like this job!" Ma You smiled slightly, "Congliang, General of the State, this is the biggest official I may have caught. Lao Hong, thank you this time. He ran to me and gave me such a great contribution. When this matter is over, I will ask Ye Ping to catch a few more snakes and let you eat enough at one time!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The vanguard of the Luzhou Town Army had already set off, and the large army was ready to go. In Anlu City, there were people and vehicles of the Luzhou Town Army. At this time, a carriage drove into the Anlu city gate.

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a pale face. It was not the actual person in charge of Luowang now, Ziyan.

"Lou Xiang really wants to leave," Zi Yan murmured, whispering the entourage beside the carriage, "Go and call the captain from which side."

"Yes, sir!" A follower responded next to the carriage, strode towards the street, and said to a lieutenant in uniform: "Come here, sir, we want to see you!"

The captain glanced at the man in ordinary clothes and hesitated, "Who are you?"

The man reached out to take out a waist sign from his arms. When he saw it, the captain was surprised. The waist sign indicated the identity of this person, and his level was actually a guerrilla general in Luowang. A general was just a follower of the person in the carriage. The identity of the person in the carriage is imaginable.

"The little man has seen the adult!" He ran to the side of the carriage, and the captain clasped his fists and said, "I don't know which adult is coming."

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing Zi Yan's pale face, "I am Zi Yan, you are General Lou's subordinate."

Zi Yan's Daming name has naturally been heard of. The leader of the net and the wife of Xiong Kuohai, the general of the State Supplementary State, was indeed a figure above the clouds. When it was heard that it was her, the lieutenant was half shorter.

"Yes, yes, the villain is under General Lou, and the villain is called Luo Wei!"

"Luo Wei, what are you going to do?" Zi Yan pointed to the army on the street.

"Sir, we are prepared to retreat under the orders of General Lou."

"Retreat, it's indeed a retreat!" Zi Yan gritted her teeth, "Luo Wei, take me to see your General Lou."

"Sir, the villain is ordered to lead the army to evacuate, and he dare not leave his post without hesitation!" Luo Wei looked in a difficult face, "General Lou will chop my head."

Ziyan glared at him, "I'll cover you if you have anything, I'll tell you to go, you go!"

"I understand, I understand!" Luo Wei's body shortened, "The villain took the adults there. My general is now in the Anlu County Government, and I guess he is going to set off."

"Go!" The car curtain was lowered and a silence came from inside.

Lou Xiang was indeed ready to leave, and Shezhuang's words completely touched him. In the first half of his life, he was just a state general, and countless people were pressing on him. But now, he had a chance to be proud and truly become a superior person. How can people who are not moved and who are more moved by him? They can attack and defend when they advance. If they fail, they will not have no way out.

With a heart full of longing, Lou Xiang stepped out of the county government gate with ambition, stepped out of the door with one foot, but his whole body froze. A carriage stopped in front of him. The curtain opened, and a pale but pretty face appeared in front of him.

"General Lou, in such a hurry, where are you going?" A woman bent down from the car and crawled out, stood on the shaft of the car, looking at him coldly from a high place.

Lou Xiang didn't know Zi Yan, but with this style, being able to walk to him without any obstacles, fully demonstrated the extraordinary identity of the woman in front of him. He frowned and thought hard about who this person should be.

"General, this is Lord Zi Yan from Luowang!" Luo Wei hurried over and whispered.

"Ziyan Ziyan" Lou Xiang's body shook, and the body of Shezhuang following him was also stiff. "Isn't Ziyan in Shangjing? How could he appear here?" He looked confused at him.

Two followers next to the carriage strode forward, and two waist signs appeared in front of Lou Xiang at the same time, and two guerrilla generals.

Zi Yan looked at him coldly, "General Lou, do you still need to test my waist card? Printing the letter?"

Lou Xiang took a deep breath, "Luzhou general Lou Xiang has seen Lord Ziyan. Lord Ziyan is a person who can understand all things, how can he appear in Anlu for a while?"

Zi Yan sneered and walked out of the carriage with the support of her followers, and walked straight towards the county yamen hall. Lou Xiang had no choice but to follow.

"If I don't come, General Lou Xiang is afraid he will leave Anlu."

Lou Xiang stiffened and looked at Shezhuang. Shezhuang gave him a look and signaled him to act according to the opportunity.

"Yes, yes, the Northern Army has entered Jiangling, and the army is coming towards Anlu, and Anlu has no danger to defend. The minister is worried about Weizhou, and the troops in Shangjing are empty. He is preparing to go to Beijing to serve the king for His Majesty and the Queen Mother!" Lou Xiang smiled all over his face.

Zi Yan turned around and looked at Lou Xiang, "For Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's Envoy"

"Yes, yes!" Lou Xiang said quickly.

"That's good, as long as you have this loyalty. Now His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager need you to station in Anlu and to help Tongzhou Congliang General and others evacuate. General Lou Xiang, you understand." Zi Yan didn't want to talk nonsense and said bluntly.

Lou Xiang's steps stopped suddenly.

Shezhuang took a step forward, "I dare to ask Lord Ziyan, if he brought His Majesty's will or the Queen Mother's will."

Ziyan looked at Shezhuang and asked lightly: "Who are you?"

"In Xiashezhuang."

"Which official position"

"I have white ears, thanks to General Lou's respect, and now I am the counselor of General Lou's military service!" said She Zhuang.

"I'm a white man, I'm talking to General Lou. When is it your turn to interrupt? Go down!" Zi Yan shouted.

"Yes, yes!" Shezhuang smiled and retreated behind Lou Xiang. Lou Xiang received this reminder that there was still something I don't understand, "Dare you ask Lord Zi Yan, is this really the will of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager?"
