Chapter 210: There is something urgent to do in the family

In addition to the 300 cavalry, which was marching from east to west, attracting the attention of the crowd, the rest were broken into pieces, scattered in the residences of various private salt dealers, and heading towards the base camp in batches. However, few people noticed that when Ma Gang returned, the scale of the 1,500 subordinates had become much larger, one thousand and three thousand, and many people were too lazy to count one by one.

The real brigade of Li Meng returning to Laizhou Prefecture was with Ma Gang and the others.

On the way back, although Li Meng's troops were still cautious, they became extremely relaxed from the officers and soldiers. No matter what, this battle could be said to be a complete victory. First, use Kong Sande's relationship in Yanzhou Prefecture to release various false news. Then, using the emergency and help documents of Sishui County and Ningyang County, Ma Gang led 1,500 soldiers into Sishui County, Yanzhou Prefecture.

Now, the powerful generals and officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty regard the garrison as their own territory. For example, Li Meng and Liu Zeqing, the opponents with deep hatred, the opponent's army enters their own territory. This is the most nervous thing. Moreover, the siege must have ten times the strength of defending the city. With the training of the elite 1,500 soldiers, most of the opponent's strength will definitely involve most of the opponent's strength. At least more than 5,000 troops should be fine.

If he couldn't fight, Liu Zeqing would definitely increase his strength. His troops around Caozhou would definitely be drawn a lot. With the network relationship built by private salt, it can be fully applied at this time. Those gentry were also suffering from the disasters caused by Liu Zeqing. If someone contacted him, many people agreed to cooperate according to the traditional fence-bearing habits of local tyrants.

After the soldiers stationed at the city gate were found out, they could go to the door to threaten them directly. In front of the white money and the life of Jia Xiao, everyone knew very well what they should do.

After the city gate was wide open and two thousand cavalry entered one after another, the gentry in the city even more clearly understood the direction of the wind. The gentry who had a very close relationship with Li Meng had buried artillery transported by commercial routes in their own manor a few days ago.

Cooperating with these gentry in Jiaozhou camp took great risks, but the rewards after the situation was successful were extremely generous. In the future, even if Li Meng was not controlled by Yanzhou Prefecture, the new officers would not be able to operate here for many years like Liu Zeqing. They must rely on them. With Li Meng's private salt management and support behind them, they will definitely become a powerful man in Yanzhou Prefecture, and will no longer be a timid little landlord.

As for Li Meng, he defeated Liu Zeqing, a great enemy who was watching around him, and his own safety in Shandong is naturally not to mention. Yanzhou Prefecture is the richest mansion in Shandong. Li Meng's private salt sales in Yanzhou Prefecture have always been unsatisfactory, so he naturally wants it.

Moreover, because of this attack on Liu Zeqing's inner city, Li Meng, Caozhou and the gentry and clans of the Confucius Mansion have established corresponding connections. In itself, this kind of fire is like a rebellion. Since they are involved, they have a handle to threaten each other. On the contrary, the two sides are closer together.

No matter whether Li Meng could guard Yanzhou Prefecture in the end, he could achieve hidden control through his relationships and exchanges with these gentry, as well as his own power, and his force and performance in attacking Caozhou, he also fully erected the majesty of General Li of Jiaozhou Camp.

Of course, Li Meng achieved his goal perfectly this time. After learning about the incident, the Shandong Governor's Office had already asked Li Meng to temporarily serve as a prefecture in Yanzhou Prefecture. A few months later, Li Meng was officially appointed...

Li Meng of Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture can almost completely control it, and Dengzhou Prefecture has also penetrated extremely well. This time, with Yanzhou Prefecture, Li Meng already has four of the six prefectures in Shandong. Now he is the largest military leader in Shandong.

It was fine when he withdrew from Yanzhou. After most of Li Meng's troops entered Qingzhou, the Jiaozhou camp was filled with a joyous atmosphere from top to bottom. Even the most ordinary soldiers at present knew that the status of the Jiaozhou camp system in Shandong was different and it was greatly increased.

Even in the twelfth lunar month, everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, and the local landlords and powerful people in Qingzhou who were close to Yanzhou Prefecture still showed great attentiveness. They all had a vague understanding of what happened in Yanzhou Prefecture, and they also knew that Li Meng from Jiaozhou Camp would not only be in Qingzhou Prefecture, but Laizhou Prefecture said it, but I am afraid it would be in the entire Shandong territory. Of course, they did not notice that Li Meng was also among the soldiers brought back to Qingzhou Prefecture by Ma Gang.

Although the brigade was moving slowly and the troops stationed everywhere were constantly separated, the contact with Jiaozhou was never broken, and the cavalry and fast horses traveled between the team and the camp.

In Wang Hai and Tang Er's eyes, Li Meng was not very happy about this victory, but he had a strange habit. He also asked Ma Gang to return to the place where Qingzhou Prefecture was stationed, and he also handled the same thing. He summoned the officers above the board of directors to discuss the gains and losses in the battle in Yanzhou this time. Everyone had to speak freely.

Every time the officers gathered together to talk about this, Li Meng was very energetic to listen to his subordinates' speeches and asked the secretary who followed the army to record them.

It is expected to take three days off in Qingzhou Prefecture, but in the afternoon of the next day, a quick horse for sending letters came to Jiaozhou, and the letter paper was delivered to Li Meng's house. Soon, the guards saw Li Meng coming out of the house in a hurry and shouted anxiously:

"Xiaohai, call up the cavalry quickly. There is something urgent at home."

Wang Hai and other personal soldiers rarely saw Li Meng look so anxious, and they were a little nervous. They thought about what kind of big things happened. The quality of Wang Hai and these personal guards was naturally higher than that of ordinary soldiers. They soon finished sorting out the horses and weapons, which took about half an hour.

Li Meng was also wearing his whole body and hurriedly got on the horse. However, Wang Hai and his personal guards were a little surprised when they left the station, because the direction Li Meng was not Laizhou Prefecture at all, but the opposite Jinan Prefecture was even more confused.

It was really difficult to walk from Mengyin to Jinan Prefecture. Moreover, the three hundred personal guards were fully armed and sat on the road in a mighty manner. Fortunately, there were many landlords and powerful people along the way, providing various conveniences. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Meng and the others arrived in Zhangqiu City.

Fortunately, when Li Meng and the others left Jiaozhou, they were equipped with all the guards and documents. They didn't have to worry about being inspected. They rushed to the road nervously and needed rest. They thought they would take a breath in Zhangqiu City, but who would have thought that the local guide who was traveling with them would go to the inn outside the city. After entering, they would come out soon after they said a few words from Li Meng. Li Meng did not enter Zhangqiu County, but led his personal guards to rush towards Zichuan.

The horses must have a rest time to run for a long distance. Wang Hai and several leaders were a little worried. If they want to run like this, the horses would probably not be able to hold on and die. At the same time, everyone was even more confused and didn't understand what Li Meng was going to do. However, the horse team's marching speed slowed down on the way from Zhangqiu to Zichuan. Li Meng seemed to be in a hurry and led his personal guards to advance on the official road at a very slow speed.

Halfway through the journey, Li Meng finally stopped and stopped moving forward. According to Wang Hai's own judgment, his leader might be coming here to meet someone, so when he entered the village, he not only arranged camping, but also arranged very strict defenses.

It was not until the evening that Li Meng called Wang Hai over. Wang Hai was surprised to find that Lord Li, who was determined to kill, was hesitant. He didn't know why he didn't dare to speak there because of something, so he could only wait there. Li Meng finally spoke and directly ordered:

"Xiaohai, our trip is to intercept a team of people, and you will personally convey it to everyone!"

Hearing this, Wang Hai quickly bowed and agreed. This was not a big deal. He also relaxed, and Li Meng said again:

"No murder, no injury, no rude voice. If anyone violates it, I will need military law to deal with it."

This request is also very strange, but Li Meng's words were military orders. Wang Hai still remembered them firmly and agreed respectfully. Speaking of this, Li Meng was a little hesitant. After a while, he continued to speak:

"Around noon tomorrow, go to the place three miles away from the village to intercept... Well... Xiaohai, go to this village to ask, find a carriage with a carriage, find two women who understand the matter, and say they are a one-day servant, and even if the money is spent, it must be done tomorrow morning, go quickly."

Wang Hai was completely confused at this time, but when he saw that there was no other order, he bowed and hurriedly ran out. It was not easy to find a carriage in this small village. As for hiring a woman, it was even more confused. But go and do it quickly. The carriage will probably be hired from Zhangqiu County.

The next morning, Li Meng and his guards were waiting on both sides of the official road. Li Meng kept looking in the east, not knowing what he was waiting for. The carriage, the coachman and the two women were standing behind. Although the hired money was taken into his hands, he didn't know what he wanted to do and was nervous.

During the twelfth lunar month, there are very few pedestrians, cars and horses on the official road. Some people passing by also saw a group of aggressive warriors on the roadside. They hurriedly accelerated their pace, for fear of causing trouble for themselves.

When the sun was almost at the middle of the sky, a convoy appeared in Li Meng's vision...
