Chapter 92 The Tigers Enter the Wolves (10)
On November 8th of the ninth year of Tiansheng, the backyard of Luobai County Government.
From early morning, Huang Anming, Wei Magistrate, Huang Zongxiang sat around the table with a heavy expression. Except for Huang Zongxiang, everyone was sitting upright with a serious face.
The sun rises, the dew on the grass slowly disappears, and the coolness of the night is swept away.
Wei Zhizhou looked at the sun and asked Huang Zhixian on the side: "Have you figured it out? The finger-near-wing army from the county is going to settle in Luobai today?"
Huang Zhixian said: "There is nothing wrong. They have been packing since the day before yesterday, and the people guarding the newly built military camp also took it as clean."
Huang Anming looked at Wei Zhizhou and said in a deep voice: "We decided on the matter together. We all know what Huang Zhixian knows. What are you doing when you ask? It's upsetting people's hearts for nothing!"
"It's time to come, I always feel a little nervous."
Magistrate Wei sighed and frowned.
Huang Anming snorted coldly: "When things are settled, don't be careless! What big thing can you do like a mother-in-law like? You have been in vain for more than ten years of magistrate!"
Wei Zhizhou shook his head helplessly. Huang Anming was hesitant before the incident. He took the risk to persuade him to come here. Unexpectedly, after the matter was settled, Huang Anming's attitude was the most firm.
Maybe this is a person born to do big things. Compared with this person, I am really not that material.
The sun rose to mid-air and the heat began to rise, and Wei Zhizhou felt more and more anxious.
Although the number of people who know the details of the matter has been minimized, the number of states joining forces to gather hundreds of people can really ensure that the news will not be leaked? Sneak attack on the imperial garrison is a crime of extermination! Even if you practice the "Kuoding Law", you are still the chief official of a state, with a huge industry, and a glory and wealth. But as long as you do this, no matter whether it succeeds or not, as long as the news is revealed, there will be no way out.
Unlike other places, Jiangzhou is only twenty miles away from Taiping County. Even if you don’t have to be a magistrate, you can still be a Taiping official with the advantage of the territory.
Is it worth taking this risk? When things come, Magistrate Wei became more and more panicked.
There was a neighing sound from outside, someone shouting, getting closer and closer.
"Here we come! Let's go up and take a look!" Huang Anming slapped the table and stood up.
The others stood up one after another and followed the ladder to the lookout building on the village wall not far away.
On the newly built road from Taiping County to Luobai County, a team of soldiers were coming from afar, and pedestrians and vendors on the road were hiding. The flags were waving, and the big word "Zhongrui" on the flag was particularly conspicuous.
Seeing these two words, Huang Anming's face suddenly turned pale, and he turned around and shouted at Huang Zhixian: "Didn't you say that the Jingjiang Army stationed here in the city is the Jingjiang Army of Honzhou? Why are the newly-engraved Zhongrui Cavalry coming from outside?"
"I-How do I know? Whether it is the official announcement or the news I inquired about, it has always been said that it was the Jingjiang army, which was originally stationed in Taipingzhai. Who knew it would be replaced by Zhongrui army!"
Magistrate Huang was tempted and circled around the place with a bitter face.
"Is the news revealed? Although we didn't tell the person transferred to us what he was doing, as long as someone missed it, someone with a heart can guess it. Now Xu Ping sent troops to attack us, what should I do?"
Wei Zhizhou was already panicked, but suddenly saw this change and was so anxious that he wanted to cry.
"What are you talking nonsense? Will it be like this if you send troops to attack Luobai County?" Huang Zongxiang, who had been silent, was still calm and glared at Magistrate Wei. "These soldiers are obviously marching, not fighting. You have been a magistrate for so many years and have never led troops to fight! Magistrate Huang said that you can't do big things, which is really good!"
After saying that, Huang Zongxiang said to Huang Anming: "Although we were not here to attack us, the garrison has now been replaced by cavalry, and the things we planned cannot be done. There are only more than one hundred people, and even the dead soldiers, they will be hitting stones when facing these people! In fact, even the infantrymen originally planned can only kill a few people in the chaos and make trouble. They also have to work hard at Magistrate Luo to escape. Now these people have horses, where can they run?"
Huang Anming sighed: "It's impossible to do anything, so I'd better think about how to deal with it. I just didn't do it, and the news leaked, will Xu Tong let us go?"
After saying that, he paced back and forth.
The Zhongrui army outside had already arrived at the newly built military camp. They did not untied themselves, but just dismounted and cooked in the military camp. They marched before dawn, set out after dawn, cooked after rushing to the road after eating, and had to go until the afternoon camp before having supper. Two meals a day, and there was no difference between them and ordinary people when marching.
After pondering for a long time, Huang Anming stopped and looked at the rest of the people and said, "It's over, everyone, Huang Conggui can't stay!"
Luo Baihuang County Magistrate was frightened and trembled: "What do you mean? Did you think about it--it took Huang Yanei's life?"
Huang Zongxiang said coldly: "Master Huang is clear enough. When things have come to this point, are you still waiting for him to cause trouble for us if you don't kill Huang Conggui? In the past few years, without the care of us, he will die for a hundred lives! He will be worthy of my friendship with Huang Chengxiang for so many years!"
The murderous aura in Huang Zongxiang's words made Huang Magistrate feel chill all over and dared not speak anymore.
Huang Anming sighed: "It's not that we are cruel. We just want to take Huang Conggui's life for nothing. We really have to do this. We have no arrows to turn back. Do you think we can get everything good if we withdraw people? If something goes wrong in Yongzhou, Jiadong will not let him go. He will be in vain for food, drink and fun. If he doesn't return to Jiadong, he will fall into the hands of the government sooner or later. The "Kuoding Law" is implemented, and we will never protect him. As long as he reaches Xu Ping's hands, Huang Magistrate, do you think he can keep his mouth shut and not give us out?"
"Yes - but if he dies, won't we offend Jiaozhi?" Huang Magistrate still hesitated.
"I'm not afraid. You Luobai County is far away from Jiaozhi, why are you worried about!"
When he said that, Huang Anming saw that Huang Magistrate Huang was still in a state of uneasiness, and sighed deeply: "Oh, I also met his father very much. If I hadn't really had no choice, I would have made such a cruel decision. Huang Magistrate Huang, now the army in the rank of the ranks is strong, and our heads are all under the knife, so I dare not be careless at all!"
Hearing this, Huang Magistrate Huang had already understood that Huang Conggui must die this time. After escaping from Zhongzhou, Huang Conggui had been so happy for so long because the local officials thought he was useful. Now he has become a burden and there is no way out.
Huang Magistrate Huang had no friendship with Huang Conggui, and he didn't like it. The reason why he was hesitant was that he was frightened by Huang Anming and Huang Zongxiang. When he needed cooperation, he called him brother and turned around and killed someone. He was originally guarding a county, Huang Magistrate Huang felt that he was a hero in the country. Compared with these two, he felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.
Shangsizhou and Simingzhou are in the upper and lower reaches of Mingjiang, each with one end and one end, pressing Qianlongdong, which is sandwiched in the middle, to the death. If the two states had not formed a two-dragon-snatched pearl, Qianlongdong would have been annexed long ago. Such a chief official of the two states would be comparable to Luo Baihuang County Magistrate.
Wei Zhizhou also felt cold and mixed with these two gods and regretted it to death. He even ran to Simingzhou to persuade Huang Anming, but it was ridiculous to think about it.
"Huh, why are they leaving again? Aren't they stationed here?"
Huang Zongxiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke out, attracting everyone's attention.
Looking out, I saw that the Zhongrui army, who had finished their meal, had already boarded the horse and continued to move forward.
"Where are they going? There is no road ahead, it's all mountain roads?" Huang Zhixian said in confusion and looked at Wei Zhizhou.
Huang Zongxiang stomped his feet suddenly: "Zhimo, they are going to go to Longdong! We are still thinking about plotting against Xu Ping here, but the evil thief is going to attack our nest!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Huang Anming and asked in a deep voice: "What do you say?"
Huang Anming looked at the Zhongrui army moving forward outside the village. Not only were the horses equipped, but there were also many horses carrying supplies. After a rough calculation, it was about two or three horses. You should know that the Song Dynasty lacked horses, even if some cavalry in the imperial guards could not reach one person and one horse, they were just empty-handed. However, he did not expect that the Taiping Army was so generous that it would also have such a large capital against the Xiang army under his command.
Huang Anming felt dizzy when he held his forehead with his hands and spoke slowly: "After Qianlongdong was lost, the throne stalkers and clamped the key points. Our two states became meat on the chopping board, so we could only be obedient-"
Speaking of this, Huang Anming waved his hand suddenly: "No! I thought of the inheritance of Mingzhou for several generations to have today's foundation. How can we be ruined like this? God is pitiful, let us see it here, otherwise if these cavalry arrive, it will be too late. God will do this, then--"
Speaking of this, Huang Anming looked up at Huang Zongxiang and both of them nodded heavily.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Anming turned to Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian County and said, "You two saw that the army of the Tijuan Division has been dispatched, and it must have been directly attacking Qianlongdong. Xu Ping said that he would recruit the chief officials of each state on the 25th, and also notified the whole country, and posted the notices everywhere on the white walls. It was the same as the real one, but today he sent troops! The so-called soldiers never get tired of deceitful, he learned so cunning at such an old age!"
Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian asked in unison: "What should I do?"
"The soldiers come and the generals block the water and the soil come and flood the soil. Since we see it, his plan will be broken! We barbarians have been dealing with the government for many years, and we have seen this kind of thing before, so don't be afraid. But Huang Zhizhou and I cannot stay here anymore, we must go back and arrange it immediately."
Huang Anming said this, calmed down his tone and said, "After we leave, we will leave the matter here to both of you and be careful."
When he heard the two of them leaving, Huang Magistrate was both grateful and a little nervous. Now he really felt that he could not do such a big thing.
After thinking for a while, Huang Zhixian asked, "Then what should we do?"
Huang Anming said: "I will give you a suggestion, and you will consider it. Huang Conggui will not rush to kill. Since the Zhongrui army has already set out to Qianlongdong, the military camp here must be stationed in Jingjiang. When they come, if Qianlongdong is not occupied or Zhongrui army is still marching, the two can follow the previous plan. If Qianlongdong is already in the hands of the Tiju, then--"
Speaking of this, Huang Anming looked at the two of them and strengthened his tone: "You must leave Huang Conggui's life so that he will never speak. This is something that concerns our lives and our lives. You can't have any accidents!"
