Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Eight: Road and Fortification
Xingyi County is not equipped with defenses.
One thousand,500 soldiers poured into the narrow streets of Xingyi County, and led by the staff spy, rushed towards their own goals in the heavy rain.
Meng Gao had not sat firmly on the lobby of the county government in the middle section of the county town, and the whistle that represented success was already flying high in the wind and rain.
When Zheng Zhiyu, the county magistrate of Xingyi County, was pulled out of the backyard, wearing only a pair of shorts, and was piled with white fat on his body, squeezing out one fold after another. At this time, he seemed to be not complete yet.
After awakening, he looked a little confused and frightened. He sat on the cold lobby of the county government, trembling all over from time to time, and his body was shaking like a wave.
There was no one in the county yamen except for a few personal guards and his family. The yamen runners were all local and went back to their homes after the duty was off. At this time, these people were detained in the signing room of the county yamen.
Inside, wait for the departure.
Looking at the man in front of him who was like a mud, Meng Gao even lost interest in interrogating him.
The sound of armor colliding outside came from outside. Liang Zhenying held a rope in his hand and pulled a guy tied in like a dog.
"Get out!" Liang Zhenying stopped shouting, kicked the guy in the bend of his knee, kicking him to his knees.
"General Meng, this guy is Zhou Jie, the garrison guard of Xingyi County!" Liang Zhenying said.
Meng Gao was a little surprised. In this remote area of Xingyi County, he didn't expect that it would be rich in fat people. Zheng Zhiyu, the county magistrate of Xingyi County, is a big fat man, and this guard can be regarded as a second-rate fat man. Looking at the fat body, Meng Gao was secretly
Thinking that this guy would definitely not be able to see his toes by bent down.
More than a thousand town soldiers in Xingyi County were captured in their sleep. When the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion broke into the door, the sharp steel knife and sharp spear aimed at them, these guys who woke up from the dream were in vain.
He raised his hands and obediently asked the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion to string them one by one with a rope, leading them from the garrison barracks to outside the county government.
In a short while, the only relatively spacious open space in Xingyi County, about a thousand square meters, was filled with rows of captives tied up, and around them, the square was full of vigilance.
The fifth battalion soldiers.
The battle was so smooth that they were unexpected. The expression of excitement filled everyone's face.
The heavy rain finally weakened slowly at this time. When a ray of dawn appeared in the sky, the rain finally stopped completely. The heavy rain last night swept away the heat for many days, and gusts of breeze hit. The unique mountain
Meng Gao and others were very refreshed and walked out of the county government gate. Looking at the lush mountains in the distance, my heart was extremely happy. At this time, Meng Gao really felt the pleasure of whistling to the sky and expressing his feelings.
The sun jumped out of the tops of the mountains in the distance, and the sun was about to fall. The water droplets on the leaves reflected the sunlight and shone with colorful light. It was very beautiful. I smelled the fresh air. Looking at the beautiful scenery that nourished people, Meng Gao
He sighed and said, "No wonder this place is rich in fat people, it is really a good place!"
Liang Zhenying laughed loudly, "General Meng, no matter how good the landscape here is, he can only fatten these officials and gentry, ordinary people. Who are so fat."
Meng Gao also laughed, "Zhenying, I'm going to go back to the camp soon, I'll leave it to you here. General Quan means to make Xingyi County a permanent base for us,
You have also seen that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack here. If you have a little bit of rectification, it will be as strong as the state city. I will leave you a thousand soldiers, is it enough?"
"Enough!" Liang Zhenying said: "There are more than a thousand soldiers here, and after the reorganization, they can also be used by me!"
Meng Gao shook his head, "Don't pay attention to this for the time being. These town soldiers can't be called soldiers anymore. In a short period of time, you should not expect them to be trained to become more trained. Forcibly joining our army will reduce our
Fighting power affects our morale.”
"Then general, what should I do to let these thousands of people go to the town army? It's a pity that I have to spend my manpower when supervising it. It's impossible to kill it!" Liang Zhenying said worriedly.
Meng Gao smiled, "I'll deal with it for you!"
Back in the lobby of the county government, the county magistrate Zheng Zhiyuan and the garrison Zhou Jie who had kneeled for half a night in a corner of the lobby were exhausted. Although Zhou Jie was fat, he was a general, and at least he still had some old foundation. Although he was sweating profusely.
But finally, Zheng Zhiyuan still looks like a human being, so he can't do it. He collapsed on the ground, his face covered with tears and snot, and his face turned blue.
Meng Gao sat behind the big case and slapped the awkward tree. The two people below seemed to be stung by bees, straightened their bodies all at once, and looked at the fierce general with a eager eyes.
"Good luck to the king!" Zheng Zhijie stood up and immediately became overwhelmed. "The villain has a wealthy family and several beautiful concubines, and he is willing to give them all to the king, just ask the king to spare my life."
"Hahaha!" Meng Gao laughed gloomyly, "Your things are mine now, so you still have to offer them? Are you asking me to spare your life in vain?"
Zheng Zhijie was speechless, and then he remembered that his home had been circulated by such a person. The so-called beautiful concubine is now locked in the signing room. He really has nothing but this white body.
"You two are going to die?" Meng Gao slapped the table vigorously again.
"Let's live, live!" The two of them said hurriedly. From the mouth of the general, they both saw a glimmer of hope for a life.
"Very good, there is no way to go if you want to live!" Meng Gao smiled and said, "This Xingyi County is in a mess, and it makes people angry when you look at it. The city walls and stone forts outside are in chaos.
Starting today, you two will take your soldiers to build the city walls, stone forts, and roads in the city. When will you train your white flesh to me to tan and tan
Well, when will I let you live a life? How about it?"
The two fat men kneeling below were speechless. The robbers always wanted money, food and beauty. When did they see the robbers who wanted to build roads for the local area? They still had to practice their fat body.
It's easy, but it's difficult to go on.
Seeing that the two of them did not answer, Meng Gao slapped the table, "Come on, these two guys don't want toast and punish them, please drag them down and cut them down!" The soldiers on both sides of the lobby held back their laughter and said
He yelled loudly and rushed up and wanted to get someone.
"No, no, no, king, I do, we do!" The two of them were shocked and trained their flesh without any muscles. It was better to have no brains. It was better to have a harder time than to die. It was better to live than to die.
"It's great!" Meng Gao smiled and said, "Every time, I'll let someone come and see, how many pounds have you lost? Zhenying, these two guys are handed over to you."
"Yes!" Liang Zhenying laughed.
Meng Gao stood up and walked out. When he passed by the two people, he suddenly stopped, leaned over and looked at them, and whispered: "If the fat meat is gone, the road is repaired, and the stone castle in the city wall is also solid.
It’s not impossible for me to let you continue to be this county magistrate!”
Looking at Meng Gao's smiling face, Zheng Zhiyuan suddenly became happy, "I don't know which part of the general is?" At this time, he finally thought that these people wanted to build roads, walls and forts, and it was obvious that they wanted to stay here forever.
Leaving, he was obviously not an ordinary bandit.
"I am Meng Gao, the general under the command of the Saint of White Lotus. Xingyi will be our Saint from now on. In the future, the entire Xiangzhou will be ours. Do you remember it clearly?" Meng Gao laughed, with his hands on his back and left with his long arms.
.
After breakfast, Meng Gao led 500 soldiers back to the camp, while Liang Zhenying stayed in Xingyi to run a permanent base for the Fifth Battalion that crossed the river. After the Fifth Battalion, it was the Fifth Battalion.
Liang Zhenying planned to build the road after the two fortresses that echoed each other, and after the Xingyi County town was repaired, he began to build roads and connect the two fortresses. Anyway, it seemed that the two fat men could not fall off for a while.
Even if it falls, I can still cheat. Those muddy soldiers are led by these two guys, which saves a lot of trouble. You just need to monitor the progress of the project.
Fukang County, thick smoke rolled, covering the sky and the sun. The entire sky was covered by the black smoke rising outside the city. Even the dazzling sunlight had retreated at this time. On the wall of the county town, three thousand soldiers were waiting for the battle, and Suo Wenhai sat cross-legged.
At the highest point of the city tower, the drumsticks were raised high and hit them rhythmically, and the sound of the drums spread throughout the city.
Less than five miles away from Fukang County, Liu Huajian's cavalry stood up, looking at the thick smoke rising from the grain troughs outside the city, his face looked ugly.
"General, is it launching an attack now?" Zhang Xi asked.
Liu Huajian shook his head, "Wait for the infantry! This White Lotus bandit who stayed behind Fukang is a tough guy. Have you seen it? These grain troughs contain at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain. They burn it as soon as they say they are burned, even if it is me
, it is not necessarily a ruthless heart! Since this person is so cruel that he has burned all the food and grass, he must be ready to defend the city to the death. I don’t want the cavalry to chew such a tough bone, and wait for the infantry to come up and fight.
To attack the city, you still need infantry.”
Zhang Xi nodded, "Just just now, the whistleblower caught a lot of civilians. Some of these people are from Ganzhou, and some are natives in Xiangzhou. These people are carrying large and small grain bags on their backs. They told me that they were the ones who guarded the city.
An adult asked them to take whatever they could, and they would burn them if they couldn't handle it. By the way, they said that the adult was a cripple."
"Is he a disabled person?" Liu Huajian was surprised, "He is a talent! I didn't expect that the White Lotus bandits could gather so many talents. The previous Luo Yi, Jiang Bin, and the three-eyed tiger were all the best.
The hero, now there is another lame man. If these people are used by me, wouldn’t it be easy for you to say that we should be able to flatten the Meng people? Why, we fight first in our own nest!" Liu Huajian shook his head and sighed. "By the way."
, Have you contacted General Jiang Guangyu?"
"I've contacted it. General Jiang has defeated Huang Rui. Unfortunately, the first bandit Huang Rui took a group of people to escape. General Jiang said, since you have arrived at Fukang first, he will not come to join in the fun. He will take a detour directly
Attack the flanks of the White Lotus Saint."
