Chapter 381

They checked the secret path and collapsed. It was flooded, which means that all their clues were broken and they all returned to the origin.

Such a situation is not only high expectations, but even Hong Chengchou and his colleagues feel desperate. They completely fall into the other party's tricks and are calculated by the other party.

Such a situation has made many people angry and cry bitterly. They have no money. They have no money they have worked hard for half their life. They are ordinary people.

Gentry and dignitaries all know one thing. They can live such a rich life because they have money. If they don't have money, they are no different from ordinary people, and even worse than ordinary people. If they don't have enough money to maintain their situation, you think they can't live a life like fan Ruoshui.

Not only these rich people, but also Gao Wang, the magistrate, is like this. His current life also needs a lot of money to maintain and maintain relations in all aspects. Without these things, his official position may not be guaranteed. Thinking of this, Gao Wang also cried bitterly and knelt on the ground. He said to Hong Chengchou: "Sinister villain, you have no me today."

Gao Wang rushed directly to the other party, ready to die with the other party.

After tossing for so long, Hong Chengchou returned to the origin. He couldn't help but sigh, how should this ass of shit be cleaned? He smiled bitterly and ordered people to push Gao Wang away.

They raided Qingyun Mountain and broke Qingyun cave last night, but now, it's almost half a day. They're hungry and hungry, but no one wants to leave. No one is willing to leave. They all know that if they leave here, everything has become a bubble.

Of course, Hong Chengchou wanted to leave, and all his men wanted to leave, but the powerful gentry pressed them to death. The other party had weapons in their hands. As long as they dared to escape, the other party would try their best to block it. They shouted that they wanted Hong Chengchou to give an explanation.

What can I tell you this time? Can Hong Chengchou still repay this sum of money? He can't take so much silver for the first time, and he can't afford so much silver. Don't say that Hong Chengchou doesn't have so much silver. Among the rich in Jiangnan and Daming, no one has so much silver. Even if the Daming court comes forward to repay it, he can't repay it.

This is the reason why everyone is desperate and angry. After all, their money is gone. They are going to die.

So they are starving and confront here, hoping to have a chance to breathe and a way to solve the problem.

But anyone who has a little sense knows that there is no solution at all. They can't get the silver. Can they expect the other party to give you the silver? It's impossible.

Hong Chengchou certainly wants to go, but he knows that this is a matter that affects the whole body. If he insists on going, the other party will intercept him, because he also knows that he has become the only hope of the other party.

In fact, Hong Chengchou is also smiling bitterly. Even if I promise, what's the use? Can I still take tens of thousands of liang of silver to compensate? In terms of actual wealth, Hong Chengchou has less money than any rich man present. After all, he is an official, but he has great power. He doesn't have as much money as these people.

It's not a way to go on like this. There will be more dreams when the night is long. His countrymen are very impatient now. He can restrain these people with military orders and previous authority, but after such a thing, does he still have authority?

In the past, he was a governor who could promote them and make money, and they all listened to him one after another, but now he offended the whole Jiangnan rich group, and his future was obviously not optimistic. The soldiers immediately took the helm, and their orders were not as strict as before.

Moreover, the soldiers' patience is also decreasing, because they are hungry. When they are hungry, they want to kill with their knives.

These people also understand that if they stay here and can't get any benefits, they will be ready to evacuate one after another and stay away from this place of right and wrong. As for their commander Hong Chengchou, how to force others is Hong's business, not theirs.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to riot, Hong Chengchou also felt a headache. He quickly ordered his opponent to appease him. When he returned, everyone made a double sound.

His men smiled bitterly and said, "commander, do we still have silver to make double noise? Will our food sound after stabbing such a big basket?"

Hong Chengchou said to him, "it's not that I took their silver. Their silver is gone. What's the matter with me? I won't admit this account. They can do whatever they like. Can I get tens of thousands of liang of silver from me? Can I take my military pay to top it up?"

Hong Chengchou has made up his mind to go, but he doesn't know how to get out. In the face of each other's containment, he can't do anything. He can't fight these people. The most important thing is that his men don't dare to fight hard.

Even Gao Wang and other rich businessmen are very upset. Now they have fallen into some despair. They have no money. Catching Hong Chengchou is the only way to find their silver. But they also know that the hope is very slim, but people will seize it at the moment of life and death, even if the hope is slim, and they will never let go 。

When the two sides were holding each other, they only heard the gentle tremor of the earth and saw a large number of cavalry coming.

There are so many cavalry on the ground in Yangzhou. You don't have to check it. Only Liu Bu's Qi army has thousands of cavalry, known as thousands of soldiers, which is the strongest army in the nearby area. This is also the sign of the Liu family. His cavalry has been active here for a generation, but it gives great comfort to the local people.

You should know that the cavalry of this era is even the most powerful army. Thousands of cavalry are already at the level of border generals. It can be said that they are the power of the top generals in contemporary times. Although they are like more than a dozen generals under Hong Chengchou, who doesn't have thousands of cavalry? But these cavalry can only be regarded as horsemen at most. Like Liu Bu cavalry, they are real cavalry. Most of them are recruited from the border army or Mongolia. They are equipped with a full set of iron armor. Such equipment makes Hong Chengchou jealous.

Why do we say that other people's cavalry are horsemen, while Liu Bu's cavalry are real cavalry, because most of the cavalry recruited by Liu Bu are mercenaries. Most of them are strong nomadic soldiers who grew up on horseback, but they are not cavalry trained on horseback for several years in the Central Plains. They have an iron standard, That is, you can eat and sleep on horseback, or you can bow left and right on horseback.

Liu Bu led a large number of cavalry to Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou and others were terrified. He thought the other party would come back, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

He was very happy to see Liu Bu's cavalry coming back and the squires and dignitaries headed by Gao Wang. He applauded and cheered one after another.

Liu Bu's cavalry galloped along the official road of the canal. After reaching the foot of Qingyun Mountain, they surrounded it in several ways. This is the advantage of cavalry. Even if his number is small, they can encircle and surround tens of thousands of people.

Hong Chengchou's troops wanted to go. Seeing that the other party surrounded them so strongly, they were more frightened and wanted to go. Only a few of them were riding horses. If the other party pursued them with all his strength, how could they escape the pursuit of the other party's cavalry?

Liu Guozheng was also an excellent general. He saw that Liu Bu sent cavalry directly to surround them. He showed no weakness and immediately ordered his troops to form an array against the other cavalry.

But his so-called formation is also a very negative way of resistance. You know, the only way to resist cavalry with infantry is to form formation. You must also have a lot of equipment, such as long guns to resist horses and so on.

Like them, they only have some simple portable weapons, not even many bows and arrows, which is just a temporary formation. It is impossible to deal with the impact of Liu Bu, a cavalry with iron armor. Therefore, when they see Liu Bu sweeping like a raging wave, their soldiers also look iron blue, even though they are elite soldiers, But that doesn't mean they're not afraid to die.

It is very dangerous to use a simple array to resist the impact of the opponent's iron cavalry. It is a choice of last resort.

Seeing the backbone coming, Gao Wang and other squires, they shouted one after another, as if their parents had come.

Hong Chengchou immediately showed his banner and the flag of his five provincial governors. He believed that as long as such a flag was displayed, he would never dare to attack him unless the other party wanted to rebel. If he attacked the five provincial governors appointed by the court, he would break the law, which is no different from rebellion.

At this time, Liu Kang, Liu Bu's deputy, rode out of the crowd. He said loudly, "General Liu Bu of Fengyang general army is here. You should put down your weapons immediately, or you will be killed!"

Hong Yun, Hong Chengshou's deputy, should have said this, but he was robbed by the other party, which made him very angry and dissatisfied. A small general soldier was so arrogant and arrogant, but he was not afraid. He said loudly: "The emperor personally ordered Hong dashai, governor of the five provinces, to be here. You dare to attack the Shuai camp. Does it mean to rebel?"

Hong Chengchou's name was displayed. In many cases, it can scare the enemy, but Liu Jiajun was not afraid. They directly ordered their soldiers to encircle them in multiple ways.

What they just said, that is, the ultimatum, is to tell the other party what to do. They don't care whether the other party complies or not. Anyway, it's that sentence. Lay down their weapons or kill them. You know, the cavalry of Liu Department, after completing the containment, took out their guns and bows and arrows one after another, which is the precursor of the attack.
