However, this news did not surprise Wen Chou, Jiang Xuan and others. Because since the camp of the Wen Chou coalition was removed, Gao Yi County was almost inseparable from falling. But I didn't expect that Gao Yi County had not defended it for so quickly! Of course, after learning that Gao Yi County Mayor and the county magistrate fled first, they were relieved.

Before the war, Jiang Xuan returned to Shahe Township to command everything, and prepared for everything that would be done if Wen Chou’s defeat, including re-recruiting the elite and contacting other counties and townships to seek reinforcements. Now it seems that this decision is very correct. At least it ensures that the head of Guizhou in the village did not look much panic when he saw Wen Chou leading the defeated army back.

Besides, he actively organized thousands of strong people to strengthen the defense force in Shahe Township and Taolin Gate. Although it is not necessarily stronger than Gaoyi County, with the idea of ​​unity among villagers, Guishou, it is much better than the bad performance of Gaoyi County. As for whether he can withstand the attack of Guo Daxian's army, no one can guarantee it!

At present, there are 50,000 or 60,000 villagers gathered around Shahe Township, including 4,000 or 5,000 residents of Shahe Township, 15,600 Liu Min who settled in the four or five months before the New Year, the bandits of Li Damu who were captured by more than 3,000 prisoners, 16,700 prisoners of the bandits who just moved to take refuge last month, plus 15,600 camps who had just moved to take refuge, the villagers of Jihe Township! There are nearly 2,000 remnants led by Wen Chou.

If you calculate this roughly, it is a considerable number. However, only 30,000 people were left after half of the women, and half of the young and old were left after half of the 30,000 people. But this is just an algorithm from ordinary times, and these people in Shahe Township have fought with the bandits repeatedly, resulting in more serious casualties, far less than the base of women. Therefore, the current Shahe Township will draw at most 10,000 people.

And four thousand people were used by the bandits and prisoners. This is an uncertain factor. In case of defeat, these "original bandits" who had just longed for the lives of the people, are likely to repeat the same mistakes and quickly embark on the road of robbery. This is not what Wen Chouxiang wants to see.

Even if you really want to recruit these prisoners, you can only help them as auxiliary and must not be the main force. In addition, Shahe Township and Taolinsai really cannot provide any military power. It is necessary to defeat Guo Daxian's army before it completely digests the results of Gaoyi County.

Because if Guo Daxian's army absorbed 20,000 to 30,000 people from Gaoyi County as enemies, then even if he really gained a firm foothold in the southeast of Changshan Kingdom, then the surrounding Pingji County, Shahe Township, and Luancheng County are under their threat, which Wen Chou could not bear.

However, if the power of Shahe Township led by Wen Chou alone cannot resist Guo Daxian's expansion, it is necessary to quickly seek several reinforcements! Since the matter is clear, Wen Chou, Jiang Xuan, Yan Liang, Tie Qian and other generals went to nearby counties and townships to seek reinforcements.

Wen Chou went to the most important Pingji County, while Jiang Xuan and Yan Liang took Wen Chou's documents to Luancheng County where Du Yi was stationed. Tie Qian and other military soldiers from various townships brought a lot of money to return to their hometowns for assistance. Time was tight, so they had to divide their troops, otherwise they would inevitably go to various counties and townships in person with Wen Chou's style of doing things.

As soon as the gate opened, dozens of riders flew out and ran wildly in different directions.

Pingji County is not very far from Taolinsai, less than a hundred miles away, and it takes only half a day to travel with a strong horse. Even the farthest Luancheng is only one day to travel without any effort, and other places are even faster.

Wen Chou only brought two followers this time. After all, it was the time when the Taolin Pass was short of troops and could not draw out any extra people. The group of three people did not stop on the road, and they rushed forward. They saw the shadow of the tree that was retreating. In just half a day, they arrived at the bottom of Pingji County.

At this time, Pingji County had long disappeared from the busy situation of the past and the endless flow of personnel. There was only a pre-war panic aura. Even the guards at the city gate were more than twice as many, and even the more soldiers patrolling on the city walls were more than usual. It can be seen that the city was cautious.

The three cavalry of Wen Chou flew over and immediately attracted the attention of the guards. They all tightly held the spear in their hands. They looked like Wen Chou's armor in full, and immediately hung the silver spear on his handsome face. Beads of sweat rolled down from time to time. This was the weather in February and March. If it was not for vigorous exercise, how could he sweat profusely! It can be seen that his anxious form. The two behind Wen Chou were also fully equipped with armor and soldiers, which was obviously a Taolinsai's standard outfit.

This is not the first time Wen Chou has come to the county town. He has led people to handle various official duties many times before. All the county soldiers knew him. Seeing that it was Wen Chou, his originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed. A team of county soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to ask about Wen Chou's intentions. He was quite dedicated.

"Mr. Wen, come hurriedly, what's wrong?"

"I want to meet the county magistrate and county magistrate. If you have any major issues, please report them to me." Wen Chou Zhuma said.

"Jun Wen, come with me. The county lord has an order. If Wen, you don't need to report it." Because it was a tense period, the city gate was tight. Generally speaking, Wen Chou could jump into the city and go to Guanshi because he was an emergency military service. However, out of respect for Pingji County, there was a dialogue between these and two sentences.

Since the team leader said this, Wen Chou was willing to do so, so he rode his horse and led people past the city gate. The team leader had already found the horses and led the way. A team of people rode their horses through the market, causing Guizhou leaders, who were not many in the market, to speculate and rush home.

Soon after, the group of four had arrived at the Guan Temple. The team leader just spoke to the guards, and turned to Wen Chou and said, "Mr. Wen, come with me. County Lord, County Captain, etc. are listening to the affairs of the affairs hall." The guards trotted and reported to the county magistrate.

"Okay!" Wen Chou and the other two handed over the horses to the guards and walked towards the Tingshi Hall with great strides.

"Report, Taolin School Captain Wen Junye has arrived outside the temple!" Wen Chou and others had not yet arrived outside the hall, but the guards had already entered the listening hall and reported to the officials.

"What? Wenjun has come outside the temple?" The county magistrate stood up in surprise and said in surprise.

"He is rushing to the Listening Hall."

This time, the officials in the hall were a little noisy. It was obvious that the information about Wen Chou's arrival had a certain impact on them.

The county magistrate Zhang Chi just frowned slightly, then stood up and coughed lightly and said, "Since Mr. Wen is here, please come with me and welcome me!" As he spoke, he walked out of the hall. However, everyone in the hall stood up one after another, wanting to follow the county magistrate out of the hall.

"Mr. Zhang, why should you be so polite? You are uninvited. I really have something to do. Please forgive me." Before Zhang Chi left the hall, he heard Wen Chou's cheerful words. However, Wen Chou had already arrived outside the hall and saw Zhang Chi leading people out of the hall. He didn't know the meaning, so he said.

When the officials heard the sound, they looked at each other and saw a burly and majestic man outside the hall, carrying armor and walking towards them with tiger steps. What a mighty general. This was the sigh in their hearts.

"Mr. Wen is here, it is the honor of the county. How can you talk about presumptuous words?" Zhang Chi, the county magistrate, bowed and said with a smile.

"It is not convenient to be a great gift for you, so please don't blame Mr. Zhang." Wen Chou also bowed his hand and said. He then smiled at Liu County Magistrate. As a county military chief, he naturally deserves the respect of Wen Chou, not to mention that he is asking them now! Wen Chou naturally wants to do the etiquette and not to make them dislike him.

Everyone returned to the lobby and sat down one by one.

County Lord Zhang Chi said, "Have you gone to resist the bandits if you don't leave your army, right?"

"It's defeated," Wen said with a scandal, and then said, "It's true that I'm not hiding it. I'm here this time because I want to seek help from Mr. Zhang!"

"Break?" Zhang Chi said in surprise. Although seeing Wen Chou coming here again and being so hasty, it must be a good thing. The defeated army was already there, but after he was really sure of Wen Chou's mouth, he was still surprised.

"I was defeated. However, I also injured the thieves' strength of one-third. It was just that the lord of Gaoyi County was afraid that the thieves would escape, and Gaoyi County was already owned by the thieves." Before everyone in the hall could come out of bad news, Wen Chou threw out a worse news.

When everyone heard this, they were not only in an uproar. The hall was in chaos and whispering, which showed that the impact of this news on them was so great. Even the county magistrate Liu Jun was also shocked. For him, he knew very well about the harm of the bandits to capture Gaoyi County. Thinking that he was not a mediocre person, he had led his army to fight with the bandits several times, so he knew the bandits' means of forcing the people of Qi.

"When did it happen?!" County magistrate Liu Jun stood up and asked in surprise.

"The news just came this morning, I think it was the fall of yesterday." Wen Chou replied.

"In this way, it's not the worst." County magistrate Liu Jun pondered for a while before speaking.

"Jun Liu, have you ever thought of something?" County Lord Zhang Chi asked when he saw this.

"Oh, since Wenjun has come in a hurry, he must have thought about the pros and cons. Please help Wenjun solve the doubts for you." County magistrate Liu Jun smiled at Wen Chou's words and said.

"In the late last month, I led my army to Gaoyi County to attack the bandits. Fortunately, the Meng County sent a thousand troops to help. First, I defeated the bandits, and then nearly 30,000 bandits arrived. My coalition forces were small, so I had to avoid their edge for a while and stationed camps and Gaoyi County to form a corner..."
