Taiping County is located among the mountains on the southern foot of Micang Mountain. In this small town, no one will go to this remote place except for the past business roads and merchants who go to the mountains to purchase medicinal materials. However, today the situation has changed by 180 degrees.

A large army advanced rapidly along the Houhe Valley towards Taiping. The wolves, tigers, leopards and other beasts encountered along the way, as well as the mountain people who entered the mountains to collect herbs and chop wood, all fled in the wind and hid far away.

This army set out from Ziyang County and wanted to raid Li Guojun's troops along the litchi road into 4 Sichuan. Li Guojun has been the main force in attacking Jinzhou, but after failing to succeed, he has no chance to make a contribution. Even Li Guojun's attack on Ziyang was proposed by Li Guojun himself to attack, and Pei Xiao2 did not object. This contribution fell on Li Guojun.

However, this contribution is too small. I remember that since Yunyang attacked Jinzhou, Li Guojun was also the main force, and he was equally matched with Pei Zhuer. But as a result, Pei Zhuer had no idea where he was lucky and recruited Chen Tianming, a capable subordinate, and rushed directly to the city of Nanzheng.

Pei Zhuer followed Pei Xiao 21 to travel west and took over the entire Hanzhong. This time, among all the famous armies of the entire army, except for Liu Changle's Dingguo Army, who was directly under the absolute main force of the Pei family army, barely suppressed Pei Zhuer's brave army, any other army divided the military fields as much as that of Pei Zhuer's brave army.

The soldiers' eyes were all bright. Whoever could bring him military merits and whoever could get the most fields when the military merits were divided, whoever was their general was qualified to command what they wanted. This person was obviously not Li Guojun.

Therefore, after the land was divided, Li Guojun clearly felt that the look of the soldiers looking at him was obviously different from the past. Li Guojun could even guess that if these soldiers were not careful, they would definitely curse themselves behind their backs.

Therefore, this time Li Guojun took the risk of crossing Micang Mountain and sneaked into Kuizhou Prefecture. On the one hand, he wanted to make a contribution, and on the other hand, he wanted to avenge his shame, and on the other hand, he was suppressed by Pei Zhuer.

Taiping County, since the reign of Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was established in the northeast of Xuanhan. In the tenth year of Zhengde, Dongxiang County was seized and Taiping County was established in Taipingli. Taiping County is the dividing line between the north and south climates of China and the watershed between the Jialing River and the Han River. It is located at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chongqing provinces. After saying so much, a simple sentence is summarized as follows: this is a remote area of ​​3 remote areas.

Therefore, those who can be assigned to this place as officials are either demoted and exiled here, or those who do not perform well in the imperial examinations. Today, Taiping County magistrate Chen Congjiao belongs to the latter. To be precise, Chen magistrate does not even belong to a Jinshi, and only has one title. If he had not passed the Jinshi exam several times, he would not have been exiled to Taiping, a remote place in a poor countryside.

Taiping County is called Taiping, but it is actually not Taiping. In addition to the wild beasts in the mountains and often gathering to cannibalize people, bandits, mountain people and others hiding in the mountains would go down the mountain from time to time, wander around outside Taiping County, scare the magistrate Chen in the county to death, and then retreat to the mountain. In addition, there are many people in the mountains and their habits are very different from those of the ordinary Han people. They often conflict with the Han people in the city. Some people with honest temperaments even dare to kill people in the street.

With all this, Chen Congjiao was always uneasy. If it weren't for the broken place, even if it were 3 feet of the ground, he wouldn't have been able to find some money that could be made up, Chen Congjiao would have been oiled and would have escaped.

Early that morning, when Chen Congjiao was discussing human relations with his wife in the backyard of the county government office, Zhao Jiang, the head of the fast-track team, ran in in a hurry, disturbing Chen's dream.

Magistrate Chen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He tied his pants while walking, stared at Zhao Jiang with a bad face, and said, "Zhao Bantu, if you are not patrolling the streets, what's the point of running to me?"

Zhao Jiang had already been out of breath and said repeatedly: "The master is not good, no, there is a large army coming from outside, and is heading towards our county."

"What, army? What you said is true?" Chen Congjiao was also startled and didn't bother to blame Zhao Jiang. He asked quickly: "Where is army? How could it appear in our territory? What do they want to do?"

Chen Congjiao asked three questions in a row, but Zhao Jiang couldn't answer one of them. Chen Congjiao cursed a piece of trash, and regardless of Zhao Jiang who was yelling behind his back, he hurriedly ran towards the city wall.

As soon as he ran to the city wall and saw the army that appeared outside the north city, Chen Congjiao took a deep breath. Although the traffic here was blocked, Zhao Jiang still knew that the northern Ziyang and Jinzhou were recently occupied by a bandit named the Pei family army. Now they can appear outside Taiping City, it is obviously this group of people.

Seeing the Pei family army outside the city walking out of the mountains bit by bit, stretching along the narrow and rugged mountain road for several miles, as if endless, Chen Congjiao couldn't help but be amazed, how many people should be there!

Now, an extremely serious problem is placed in front of Chen Congjiao, whether to surrender to the Pei family army, or become a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and devote himself to the Ming Dynasty. If he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he is afraid that his life will be met with Confucius and his old man;

If you surrender directly to the Pei family army and don’t resist at one point, will you seem too cowardly? In the future, you may not be able to raise your head in front of the new master. If you just want to resist, can you resist for one moment with the yamen runners in your hands?

Just when Chen Congjiao was hesitating, the Pei family army had already walked into the city of Taiping. The yamen guarding the city immediately opened the city gate without Chen Congjiao's order and surrendered directly to the Pei family army outside the city. The Pei family army's army still began to enter the city along the open city gate.

"A group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death are really short-sighted and ruined my plan." Chen Congjiao cursed inwardly, then jumped off the city wall quickly and ran towards the Pei family soldiers who were entering the city.

The movements were smooth and as if they were done in one go. Even Zhao Jiang, the head of the fast-paced team who patrolled the streets and arrested bandits in the past, was stunned and thought that he didn't expect that the magistrate would have such skills. Being a magistrate really burys talents.

When Chen Congjiao ran to the city gate, the Pei family army who entered the city was still quickly occupying every corner of the city. No one was worried about the magistrate Chen Congjiao standing at the city gate.

1 It was not until Li Guojun brought his aide Wang Xiangyun into the city gate that Wang Xiangyun noticed Chen Congjiao standing at the city gate and laughing apologized.

—

"I am not in charge of Taiping County Magistrate Chen Congjiao, and I have met the general." Chen Congjiao is very eye-catching. Although Li Guojun and Wang Xiangyun stand together, and Wang Xiangyun is a scholar with rich poetry and books, Chen Congjiao can see that Li Guojun is the leader of this army.

"Are you the magistrate?" Li Guojun glanced at Chen Congjiao and said nothing. He had a very bad impression of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Wang Xiangyun around him had not demonstrated his abilities when Li Guojun was in a downturn, he would probably not have attracted Li Guojun's attention. For Chen Congjiao, who claimed to be the magistrate in front of him, Li Guojun was worthy of his "voluntary surrender" without watching him on the spot.

However, Wang Xiangyun nodded to Chen Congjiaohan and said, "You can follow me for the time being."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order." Chen Congjiao nodded quickly and agreed. Li Guojun just glanced coldly and didn't say anything, so he was accustomed.

When he walked to the Taiping County Government, Chen Congjiao's family in the backyard was naturally controlled and moved out of the backyard of the county government. Li Guojun should have occupied the entire county government.

After occupying the county town, Li Guojun arranged for his men to open Taiping's warehouse, carry out all the food and grass, and take it to the military camp, and ask the military chefs to cook for everyone. Then he plundered the medicinal materials in the city, and the doctor treated the soldiers who had just traveled through mountains and rivers and suffered injuries and were tired.

After all the work was done, Li Guojun dragged his tired body back to the county government office. Wang Xiangyun had been waiting in the county government office for a long time.

"Congratulations to General, General He, I didn't expect that Taiping County was easily taken down by us. It's really God bless my Pei family army."

Li Guojun waved his hand and said, "It was just a lucky moment. The magistrate of Taiping County is afraid of death, otherwise we cannot easily take over Taiping County." Li Guojun's words were the truth, but it was precisely because of the fact that Chen Congjiao behind Wang Xiangyun was even more ashamed.

"Military advisor, what do you think we should do next?"
