The spy replied: "Those country warriors went to the countryside to collect grain. When they returned to the city, they were killed by the rebels and chased all the way into the county seat before disappearing."

Li Maofang, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren looked at each other in confusion.

Fengcheng County is behind them and on the bank of the Gan River. If the rebels hijack the people in Fengcheng County, their escape route will be cut off.

Li Ruolian sneered: "What a good thing you did!"

Li Maofang was speechless, because it was indeed him who issued the order to collect grain.

But who the hell would have thought that the magistrate of Fengcheng County was so awesome that he actually asked Xiangyong to go to the countryside to collect grain, but hundreds of thieves took advantage of it and seized the county seat.

They were not going to collect grain at all, but the Fengcheng magistrate himself wanted to make money and sent troops to rob in the name of suppressing thieves!

Wang Siren sighed: "There are only three ways now. One is to cross the river immediately and fight decisively. The other is to withdraw troops immediately and return to Nanchang. The third is to recapture Fengcheng County and station the camp there."

"Withdrawing troops is impossible. If we don't suppress the bandits in front of us, we will all lose our hats." Li Ruolian shook his head and said.

Li Maofang asked: "Can't we send troops to retake the county seat and then leave people to garrison it?"

Wang Siren said: "There are hundreds of thieves and bandits who have been hiding behind us. These rebel thieves are used to confuse people's minds. If they are allowed to develop, there will probably be two to three thousand people next month. There are two to three thousand enemies hiding behind us.

Do you dare to fight such a battle?"

Li Maofang thought: "We can't evacuate from Linjiang Prefecture, not even to Fengcheng County. Linjiang Prefecture is an important tax town. Once it is lost, the court will be furious. Even if we lose our official positions, it will be light!"

"Then let's fight." Li Ruolian sighed.

Wang Siren sighed: "This Zhao thief is so cunning."

Wang Siren thought that Zhao Han might send troops to encircle the rear, but he never expected that after the rebels encircled the rear, they did not come to attack the officers and soldiers camp at night, but instead helped the farmers drive away the looting officers and soldiers!

There were only a few hundred rebels. The officers and soldiers wanted to clear them up, but they couldn't even figure them out.

Not to mention the peasants who tipped off the enemy, even the local gentry secretly provided food for the rebels because the officers and soldiers were robbing them too hard.
