After the immortal disappeared

No matter how powerful Fushan Lie is, he can't bring Bejia's thousands of troops with him.

The high-ranking people present knew that some things simply could not be settled purely by force.

Zhong Shengguang nodded: "If you have no objection, I will reject He Lingchuan's request."

The door of the Gange Hall was pushed open, and the red general strode in wearing dark red light armor.

She had just returned from the battlefield, and there was a fierceness in her actions.

Zhong Shengguang asked her: "How is the battle in Xihe River?"

"I stopped the two attempts of Baling. But in autumn and winter, when there is less rain and the water level drops, they will definitely try to cross the river." The red general, with his golden sword on his horse, sat down, crossed his fingers under his chin, "Inside the army of Baling, Many new monsters have appeared, and they all have some righteousness."

"Could it have been sent by Bejia?" Zhao Xianhe was surprised, "This is not good. Bejia has never sent troops to the Panlong Wasteland before."

Bejia made several attempts to plot against Panlong City, all of which were done secretly. He either controlled Baling and Xianyou to attack Panlong Wasteland, or used Jindu Ghost Mother and mutated monster insects to invade Chipa Plateau.

Is this the first time that demon soldiers are directly sent to fight in the Panlong Wasteland?

The meaning behind this move is not good.

Perhaps it indicates that Bejia has lost patience with Panlong City?

"We will ask you in detail after we have captured a few of them." The red general wore a mask, but everyone still felt her eyes glancing across his face, "What are you discussing?"

Zhong Shengguang then discussed the issue.

General Hong picked up the urgent report from the table and glanced at it: "Interesting. If the purpose is to divide the gangs and isolate Fu Shanlie, there is no need to please the water bandits like this. Just send people to negotiate and appease the gangs. I think He Lingchuan still has a successor. There’s no use for my hands.”

General Nan Ke was slightly surprised: "Do you support him?"

Zhong Shengguang was dumbfounded: "What a back-up plan, I didn't mention it in the emergency report."

"If you use it, then trust it." The Red General said nonchalantly, "I won't pay more than 30,000 taels of silver a year, let him play with it."

"More than 30,000." Zhao Xianhe pointed out, "The repair and maintenance of the Longchuan Trade Road cannot be done by the water bandits alone. Yuheng City must pay for it out of its own pocket. Besides, Yuheng City has been fighting water bandits for several months. Both sides We have been enemies for a long time. Now that Yuheng City suddenly wants to please the water bandits, how can the soldiers and the people be willing?"

"Public opinion can be channeled. Yuheng City has been doing well recently and its income has increased." General Hong said calmly, "I don't see what the problem is."

Zhong Shengguang frowned: "But..."

The young man's plan was full of nonsense.

"There is nothing wrong with dealing with General Bejia first. Drive the external forces out of Longchuan, and the bandits will not be a big problem." General Red threw the urgent report on the table, "Commander Zhong originally wanted to send Zhao Yin'an to command Yuheng City. I temporarily replaced him with He Lingchuan, wasn't it because I wanted to test his talent? Now that the opportunity has come, it's time to observe it."

Zhong Shengguang pondered.

Zhao Xianhe was dissatisfied: "He Lingchuan's request is so whimsical. Master Zhong is not really considering it, is he? It's child's play to experiment with such a big thing!"

General Nan Ke seconded the proposal: "In the past, when we suppressed bandits in the Panlong Desert, how could we not be decisive? Even if Bejia sent people to sneak into Longchuan to cause trouble, it was only a team of people. If He Lingchuan can't do it, I am willing to lead troops to Longchuan. Sichuan, catch them all in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles. Oh, why do you want to let Yuheng City play house with them?"

General Hong said calmly: "If Panlong City captures Jinying again in the future, there will be bandits there, will you go too?"

General Nanke said without hesitation: "Go."

"If there is a rebellion in Xiqian's old capital at the same time, can you go and put down the rebellion?"

"...I can divide the troops."

"What if at the same time the northern line of Panlong Desert encounters a dangerous situation?"

General Nan Ke was displeased: "General Red, there is no shortage of good generals in Panlong City."

"Panlong City wants to expand outwards. What it lacks the most is talents who can take charge of their own affairs." General Red asked him with his arms crossed. "Now, Panlong City sends troops to suppress every trouble in the old land of Xiqiao. In the future, our territory will expand more and more." Da, do you think Panlong Army and Gale Army are going to fight the fire everywhere?"

Zhong Shengguang hesitated for a long time and then said: "I just want to go to Yuheng City. I'll go and hear what He Lingchuan has to say."

Only when one listens is to believe, one can make a good decision.

The generals didn't say much. Like today's argument, once the Red General is present, there is almost no suspense about the outcome, alas.

…

Longchuan, where the Xiqiao puppet army is stationed.

This place was originally the home base of the Lu Family Gang. After the Xiqiao puppet army annexed it, Fu Shanlie fell in love with the complex terrain here.

This place is called Minghu Lake. Seven lakes, large and small, are connected to each other, and the waves sparkle like pearls on a string. The grass growing by the lake can reach a height of one foot, and people disappear when they walk in.

The islands in the lake are the base, and the surrounding aquatic monsters are the guards.

Fu Shanlie was taking a nap after lunch. His confidant quickly ran to the green bamboo couch and whispered: "General, please report."

Fu Shanlie raised his eyelids and said, "Say."

"There is news from the inside of Qianjin Village that Tao Lin and Xu Zeshou met privately with the commander of Yuheng City, and the other party made an agreement with them."

"Commander? He Lingchuan?" Fu Shanlie opened his eyes, "What agreement?"

The confidant then reported the contents.

Fushan Lie sat up as soon as he heard this: "Has the agreement been reached?"

"Tao and Xu said they wanted to go back and discuss it."

"Yourou is ignorant." Fushan Lie said, "If it were me, I would agree on the spot."

"Yuheng City is afraid that I will kill all the people in Longchuan, so it wants to win over these useless people!" He pressed his temples, "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. This person named He is really a character."

"According to the inside story from the north, Yuhengcheng doesn't like his orders and thinks that it is superfluous for him to please the water bandits and that he is squandering money excessively, which is not in line with the usual practices of Panlongcheng's army."

Fushan Lie was delighted when he heard this: "This is good news. Since he is the only one who advocates it, just kill him!"

With the death of the man named He, Yuheng City's bandit suppression strategy is likely to return to its old ways. His plan can continue again.

This confidant came from Bejia and was still a little puzzled: "General, even if Panlong City captures Xiqiao, it is still a small area. Why do you want to take the initiative to come and deal with a surrendered city?"

General Fushan shined in the Battle of Yuan Kingdom. He was a junior among the generals of Bejia. He couldn't make meritorious deeds anywhere, so why did he choose this place? The dignified General Bega hangs around in the water bandits' den all day long, doesn't he lower his worth? Even their subordinates had to fight the autumn wind on the dusty Takigawa Trade Road.

Fushan Lie glanced at him and knew all about the little Jiujiu in his belly: "Come with me to Longchuan, you won't be happy to let you eat too much ashes, will you?"

"No, no!" The confidant quickly denied, "Your life is yours for this humble job, what's the big deal if you eat a little bit of ashes!"

"There are so many places like Panlong Wasteland and Xiqiao in the world. Where is it worthy of Lingxu City to take another look?" Fu Shanlie asked him, "Why does Lingxu City test Panlong City two or three times?"

"I don't know the humble position."

"There are a lot of things wrong here." Fushan Lie stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "I heard that the gods enshrined in Panlong City are stirring up wind and rain in the sky, and Holy Lord Lingxu is very unhappy; the army in Panlong City, The Gale Army is also surprisingly powerful.”

The confidant immediately said: "No matter how powerful it is, it is not as powerful as us Bejia."

"Really, have you competed?"

"No, no. But..." Bejia's national power and military power dominate the world, and there are so many famous generals. How can this small Panlong City compare?

Fushan Lie snorted: "Compared to Bejia, Panlong Desert is indeed just a small place. But in terms of area and population, Panlong City's Yuan Power is unusually strong! This even attracted the attention of the gods. Again Let them grow stronger and be more difficult to eradicate in the future. Xiqiao and Longchuan are excellent entry points. Panlong City has just taken this place into its hands and its rule is not yet stable. If you can cut off their extending arms and legs, you may be able to make them more powerful. Panlong City continues to lose blood.”

He put his hands behind his head: "I came here to make a wonderful move."

The confidant seemed to understand: "The general is wise."

Fushan Lie yawned again: "You know what P is, please step back."

…

More than a month later, Longchuan Qianjin Village.

The leader of the village, Tao Lin, just got up from his nap and stretched while walking.

Since signing an agreement with He Lingchuan and being employed by Yuheng City, Qianjinzhai, the largest gangster in Longchuan, has suddenly become a member of the government, and has steadily collected road tax for dozens of days.

When the merchants saw these water bandits standing at the checkpoint holding licenses to collect fees, their eyes almost fell out of shock. If the Yuheng defenders were not nearby, they might have turned around and ran away.

The person surnamed He was right. It was really comfortable to collect money like this. There was no need to show off at all. People just handed over the money with both hands with a smile on their face and willingly.

Collecting money under the guise of an official is justifiable.

After Qianjinzhai signed an agreement with the Qiuhua Gang, they told Longchuan to tell other gangs to stay away from their tolled roads so as not to cause trouble.

After so many days, only the Xiqiao puppet army did not give face. They robbed Dao'er twice, and succeeded once. The other time they were stopped by the defenders of Qianjin Village and Yuheng City, and they were beaten until blood flowed all over the ground.

But in general, Shou Dao is much more cost-effective than robbing Dao, and even Shou Dao'er's casualty compensation is paid for by Yuheng City.

What did Commander He actually say?

Work injury report, that is, public reimbursement.

With Qianjinzhai and the Qiuhua Gang doing this, other small gangs had no chance of survival, so they simply imitated the big gangs and surrendered to Yuheng City.

However, Tao Lin always felt that the atmosphere in the village was a bit strange today. Many people gathered together and whispered, but when they saw him, they fell silent and their eyes flickered.

Even when he went to relieve himself, there were always a few eyes following him behind him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Tao Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at everyone casually: "Tell me! What's going on? Everyone is staring at me with stern looks! What's the matter? I haven't had any work recently. Is it holding you back?"

His prestige in the village is not low, everyone looks at each other in disbelief, no one wants to be the one who stands out.

Finally, someone pushed the lame man in front of the door and whispered: "Liu Laizi, what you saw, you come up!"

The lame man's leg was broken during a robbery three years ago. Since then, he has been unable to ride a horse. He can only stay in the village as a groom, foraging hay and cleaning horse manure all day long.

Tao Lin's eyes narrowed: "Come here! What did you see?"
