Yang Heshu was in charge of the governor's office in Maozhou, while Yin Li was waiting for work in the mountains.

At dawn, a large army came out of the mountain pass. Obviously, the King of Yizhou did not want to delay it any longer. Rebellion is also very fast-paced.

After receiving the military information from the scouts, Yin Li said: "Let them out of the mountain, don't take action yet, and Huang Ming will lead five thousand soldiers to set up an ambush at Baishan Pass..."

"General, the scouts have come to report that the King of Yizhou is not among them, and there are only 10,000 troops coming out this time."

Yin Li said: "If I dare not mobilize all the troops at once, I must first capture Maozhou and Mianzhou before coming out."

"Then aren't we trying to alert the enemy?"

Yin Li then smiled and said: "I'm shocked. Didn't we check that there is only one opening in the mountain col for soldiers and horses to enter and exit?"

The mountain col they chose is particularly good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Basically, as long as the opening is defended, outsiders cannot attack.

And that mountain pass is quite dangerous, with only one man able to pass it and no one ten thousand others can pass it.

This is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing.

They couldn't get in, and the people inside couldn't get out.

Yin Li raised his lips and said, "After being frightened, do they still dare to slide into the mountains?"

His eyes were deep, "It's not Dongxizhuang inside. There are fertile fields for them to cultivate. Their food and grass can't last long, so they will definitely come out. Send the order and tell Huang Ming to just go away in fear, only one, and let them retreat.

They are not allowed to break out."

The general responded and took the order and left.

But war is difficult to control. There are still many winners and losers, but it is difficult to control all the defeated troops.

Many rebels still fled out of the mountains and began to flee in groups.

At this time, the east gate of Maozhou City opened wide and began to accommodate the villagers who fled in doubt.

But more people didn't believe the message from the three soldiers last night, so most of them didn't come.

Yang Heshu didn't say anything, just sighed.

He only had a thousand soldiers and horses, and it would be difficult to defend Maozhou City. Naturally, it was impossible to disperse his troops to the countryside, so he could only hope that the villagers in each village could save themselves.

The defeated army dispersed very quickly. It was only in the evening that he received distress messages from various places. Rebel troops broke into the village to rob money and kill people.

Yang Heshu put aside these letters for help and hardened his heart: "Tell the people who came to report the news that there is no manpower available in the city at the moment, and ask them to go into the mountains to hide first, or form a group to fight the enemy."

The Maozhou police officer who obeyed the order almost burst into tears. His home was also outside the city, but he could only bow and retreat.

After he left, Yang Heshu asked Captain Song, "Has the garrison surrendered?"

"The garrison staff general Ding Qian fled with 800 people and is now missing."

"Where are the rest of the people?"

"The remaining people are those who are unwilling to leave with him. There are 680 people in total, led by a school captain. The general will not dare to let them enter the city. Let them camp outside the city for the time being."

Yang Heshu then said: "Go and ask the magistrate of Wenshan County to come and gather the officials from the governor's office. The officials are junior and local, and they are mainly local officials. Each person will be a guide for a team, and they will guide the people outside the city."

The garrison was divided into six teams, with one team consisting of 120 people. They were then incorporated into local government officials, led by a hundred households, and went to the countryside to exterminate the rebels."

"They had no weapons. Ding Qian handed over all their weapons before leaving."

"Take it from the arsenal in the governor's mansion. If there is not enough, you can allocate it to them."

Lieutenant Song opened his mouth to object, but Yang Heshu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued: "One more thing, since the King of Yizhou has really rebelled, he must send an emergency report to the capital and notify everyone in Jiannan Road at the same time.

The king of Yizhou has rebelled against the city, so let each city close its gates to resist the enemy."

Yang Heshu handed the document with the seal of the Maozhou governor to Song Xiaowei. It not only had the seal of the Maozhou governor, but also the seal of Yang Heshu. The meaning was enough for people to figure out.

Captain Song took it, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not object to the weapon anymore. He bowed and accepted the order and left.

Yang Heshu sat in the hall and looked at the busy officials running around outside. He sighed and asked the scribe who was shivering and taking notes to let people outside come in.

Yang Heshu was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd and various affairs.

After all, only a few people knew about rebellion. When the officials in Maozhou City woke up, the sky changed.

The Governor's Mansion has been broken into, and there are still many corpses piled at the door, including many people who were familiar with each other. Their dear and beloved Governor was imprisoned in the dungeon and could not even see him.

Then there was a thunderbolt from the blue. Their governor wanted to follow the king of Yizhou in rebellion, so he was treated as a rebel and suppressed.

The officials, large and small, were trembling with fear. They looked at Yang Heshu sitting in the hall and Song Xiaowei standing next to him. Even if they had all kinds of suspicion and anger in their hearts, they did not dare to ask questions at this time, for fear of being regarded as the king of Yizhou.

His accomplices were also killed.

However, there are many war problems within the jurisdiction, and there are all kinds of things, big and small. This time the war is different from the previous ones. It starts from within, so things are more and more chaotic.

Yang Heshu was also inexperienced, but he couldn't bear the lack of expression on his face, and looked very calm.

He started to deal with things in an orderly manner. The officials in Maozhou and the magistrate of Wenshan County who came over watched and gradually calmed down.

Yang Heshu worked in the lobby until midnight, and the busy officials who kept running back and forth were too tired to move.

He then stopped talking and said: "Just come here tonight. There are rebels outside, and there will only be more people fleeing into the city tomorrow. Come here early, make arrangements for the people affected by the disaster, and make arrangements for the medicine shops, hospitals and food supplies in the city."

Make the shop ready."

"yes."

Yang Heshu looked up at the sky outside and sighed: "Winter is here and the weather is getting colder. I hope the war will end soon."

Otherwise, the weather in Maozhou is so cold that it won’t kill anyone. If someone catches the cold, it will be fatal if there is a lack of medical treatment.

In this world, not everyone can afford medical treatment or medicine.

Everyone responded, especially the officials in Maozhou, a considerable number of whom were natives of Maozhou.

Yang Heshu went to sleep, but the king of Yizhou in the deep mountains could not sleep. Some soldiers escaped and he already knew that the eight thousand troops sent out were ambushed.

He sat in front of the case, looking at the map on the case in a daze.

His two sons sat aside in a daze, and there were several general-looking people sitting underneath. Everyone was silent. One of the staff couldn't help but persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't slept a wink all day and night, or what?"

Let’s rest for a while.”

King Yizhou tightened his cheeks and asked, "How do Ziwen think we should break out of the encirclement?"

The staff did not speak.

A general sitting at the bottom said directly: "Your Majesty, you give me ten thousand soldiers and horses, and tomorrow I will fight a bloody path for you."

The King of Yizhou was silent for a moment and then said: "The brave soldiers in Dongxizhuang are all gone, how can I be willing to let you take risks again? If we go around this mountain, can't we go straight to Mianzhou?"
