It was windy by the sea, and the smoke from the burning inside the city wall was blown away by the wind before it even rose. Naturally, people outside the city could not see it, but they waited under the city but never replied, and there was no one there on the top of the city.

No matter how the lower place shouted and cursed at the top of the room, there was no movement at all. These people finally realized something was wrong, but they were still unbelievable. The two guards even stared at each other, and they didn't even dare to say this clearly. They said in shock: They are all subordinates of Magistrate Qiu, can they still dare to vilify us!

They really guessed that the sound of horse hooves sounded again. The cavalry of Jiaozhou Camp chased after him. Listening to the rhythm of the horse hooves, you knew that Jiaozhou Camp did not rush to run, but kept controlling the horse speed rhythm. Calculate the time for Dengzhou people, the cavalry of Jiaozhou might have rested for a while.

The officers and soldiers riding horses under the city could only curse the defenders in Rushan County, and then continued to rush their horses and then walked forward dozens of miles ahead, which was the Qianhu Station in Haiyang, and some soldiers from Dengzhou were on guard.

However, the consequences of running a horse just now have already emerged. The horses are almost exhausted. If they are still running a horse under the city just now, the horses may be exhausted, but their speed can be maintained, and they may be able to reach Haiyang Station.

But now the horses have been staying at Rushan City for too long. They can't run if they have timely replenished water and forage. Several horses were whipped hard by the whip and immediately twitched and fell to the ground, and died there directly.

The Jiaozhou Horse Team, which narrowed the distance, began to accelerate slowly at this time, narrowing the distance little by little. The so-called elites from Qixia and Laiyang were finally desperate.

But Rushan City is right next to you, and you can be safe as long as you go in, but the door is closed but you can't get in at all, let alone that kind of despair. He shouted with a little courage:

"If you fight, you're going to die!"

The two guards did not have the energy, Gu Gu said in a crying voice:

"It's all the soldiers of the court. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. If we surrender and beg for mercy, we won't make things difficult forever."

They ran too fast and didn't see how the axe and spearmen in Jiaozhou camp were like wolves and tigers dealing with the soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. A group of people left the horse tremblingly, and knelt on the side of the road, shouting unevenly:

"We've dropped, we've dropped."

The horse team in Jiaozhou Camp also saw those people kneeling on the side of the road. Although they were accelerating slowly, someone asked the horse team in front and said:

"Head, it seems that the cowards in front of them have been reduced, how to deal with it."

The man riding a horse in front said coldly:

"I explained it clearly before coming, and what else can I do."

After this answer, the cavalrymen of the cavalry took away their weapons. The officers and soldiers kneeling there looked at the slower slowing down their horses, and they became more and more nervous. Although they were kneeling, they still couldn't stop looking around. Seeing that the other party put away their weapons, they felt relieved.

But it is not difficult to put away this weapon and take it out again.

When they arrived, the two guards had not said anything respectful, and the cavalry on the cavalry drew out their weapons again. They were so close that they couldn't run away. The faster reaction was only two or three personal soldiers, and they stood up with swords and axes, and then they were easily chopped by the condescending cavalry.

The gates of Rushan County were always closed, and the soldiers on the top of the city were chatting and resting with their backs against the city wall. They received a clear order to leave things outside the city alone, so even if someone heard the scream, they would pass by as a sound of wind, and it had nothing to do with them.

Mr. Zhao, who was burning fire at the city just now, was the most important family in Rushan City. There were mountains and seas on Rushan. Not to mention fertile land, there were not many fields that could be cultivated. However, 70% of these fields were in the hands of Mr. Zhao. I also heard that Mr. Zhao had a younger brother who set up a village on a nearby mountain with more than 200 outlaws under him. He was really a rich and powerful character.

If the magistrate of Rushan County wants to be safe in the country and collect the taxes, he will need Mr. Zhao to take care of him. As for Mr. Wang Qian, the hundreds of people under him, if he really wants to fight, he is not as strong as Mr. Zhao, and he is even weaker.

At this time, on the mansion of Zhao Yuanwai, the general Wang Qian and the county magistrate's commander stood there politely, while Zhao Yuanwai was sitting upright in the master's position. The county magistrate's commander bowed and smiled:

"Please rest assured that Mr. Zhao will write a presentation to the prefect tomorrow. The surrounding area of ​​Rushan County is very uneasy, and even bandits are swaying in the daytime. It is necessary for the court to send troops to wipe out."

Mr. Zhao snorted and said slowly:

"Sir, I'm sorry, some fresh specialties from the sea have been prepared by the servants. I'll send them to the husband's mansion later. The county magistrate also has one. Please give me a word."

Hearing this, the master was immediately happy. The shrimps and crabs were like rotten cabbage in Rushan, which was near the sea. However, the fresh specialties Zhao Yuanwai received at home were all silver and copper coins, which was the most affordable.

Mr. Wang Qian, who was watching the farewell master walk away happily, couldn't help swallowing. His attitude was even more respectful, and he nodded and said:

"Master Zhao, I have arranged all the things you always ordered today, so you are still satisfied!"

Mr. Zhao almost made a sound from his nose, and his attitude was even more arrogant and said coldly:

"Mr. Wang Qian, I saw your sincerity and would definitely convey it to you. The money will not be missing. I said that when you waited for the past, you would be the team leader of the salt ding. The rules there are also big, but you are not herding sheep. Have you figured it out?"

After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Mr. Wang Qian smiled and couldn't see his eyes anymore, and said repeatedly:

"It's all right. If you are a thousand-dollar company in Rushan, the people below have no salary, and I don't have one or more of them. You will be scolded, saying that I drink military blood and go to the leader of salt ditches. One or two hundred taels of silver every year can be accumulated, which is no better than hard work here."

"Just think it through, wait for the news. Whatever the county magistrate asks you to say, just know the right position."

After saying that, Mr. Zhao waved his hand, and Mr. Wang Qian retreated with great gratitude. Seeing that Mr. Zhao was the only one left in the room, a famous and capable man walked out of the back hall. The man was wearing thick cloth clothes of ordinary civilians and looked very simple. But when Mr. Zhao saw this man coming out, he immediately stood up from the chair with agility that was not similar to his large body and said politely:

"Uncle Huang, what the villain said just now is right. The tea and snacks are so good, and the maid is so kind."

Just now, Zhao Yuanwai, who was condescending to the people in the government, was full of arrogant people, and was incoherent at this time, and he was flattering there wholeheartedly. The "Uncle Huang" looked a little impatient on his face. He waved his hand and signaled him to shut up, and then said:

"In a few days, Jiaozhou will send people here. There are still some tricks to choose your small salt farm. You have to take care of this salt farm in the future. The general said, if you know the righteousness, you can be considered a person who has made contributions. This salt farm will have 20% of the profit!"

After saying this, Zhao Yuanwai looked ecstatic on his face, and his knees were weak and he almost knelt down. His small salt farm could not sell salt at all. Every day, he had to worry about the salt deer from Jiaozhou Camp coming to behead him. Now he was not close to him and he had to share his profits. This was equivalent to entering the private salt sales system of Jiaozhou Camp and waiting to make a fortune. Although it was 20% profit, the money might be more than the current land production!

"General Li's great kindness, Mr. Huang's great kindness..."

Mr. Zhao was thanking him incoherently, but was interrupted by the impatient Mr. Huang, who reached out to express his hand and continued to say coldly:

"Your brother, my elders are also placed. Take your men to Guting Town, Jiaozhou to check out the troops. If you are lucky, there will always be new infantry soldiers. If you don't go, when the army comes, he will be the first to destroy."

The leader of a few hundred people from the village went to Li Meng's army to be a general manager. It was not guaranteed whether he could do it. It seemed to be a very harsh condition, but Mr. Zhao couldn't stand at this time and knelt on the ground and said gratefully:

"We have two brothers, and the second brother just wants an opportunity to serve the court. This great kindness and virtue, the Zhao family really doesn't know how to repay it. Tomorrow I will send someone to send a letter to my incompetent brother, asking him to go and check the troops earlier and embark on the right path."

The man surnamed Huang smiled silently and nodded and said:

"Official Zhao knows the general idea. Is this good day still there?"

On February 12, the magistrate of Laiyang County sent someone to send an urgent report to the magistrate of Dengzhou, saying that the troops guarding Laiyang suddenly disappeared. Now that the bandits are rampant in Shandong, they are taking advantage of the danger of being taken advantage of. Please follow the example of Sishui County, Yanzhou Prefecture and transfer troops near Laizhou Prefecture to garrison the guards.

On February 15th, the magistrate of Rushan County urgently believed the governor of Dengzhou, saying that it was a large number of bandits passing through the city, and the people were frightened and asked to send more troops to guard the people to calm the hearts of the people.

Qixia County Magistrate on February 13th...

The territory of Dengzhou suddenly became a mess. Shandong general Qiu Lei arranged for a general to manage the Dengzhou Prefecture to take charge of a general. Seeing the fires everywhere in Dengzhou Prefecture, he was already a little panicked. Laiyang is the gateway. Compared with the other places, he had to mobilize five thousand soldiers and horses to quickly rush to Laiyang. At the same time, he urgently ordered the three thousand people stationed in Dasongwei, Haiyang Qianhu Station and Jinghaiwei to rush to Rushan County.
