"Crack...crack...crack..."

The heavy footsteps were sounding slowly and firmly. Yang Feng was walking on the streets of Taihu County, looking around the broken streets around him, and he was a little confused for a moment.

After the war, Taihu County was devastated. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Yang Feng, who was walking on the street, could occasionally hear faint crying from the surrounding houses, and white banners were hanging at the door.

Looking at this scene, Yan Di, who was following Yang Feng, couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the older generation said that they would rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person, and the ancients would not deceive me!"

Gou Xingma also sighed, "The harm caused by bandits is too great. Duke, the general always feels a little uneasy."

Yang Feng glanced at him and understood what Gou Xingma meant.

With the strength of the Jiangning Army, the harm of the bandits can actually be controlled within a range. A large part of the reason why the bandits can wander around Jiangnan so happily is because of the deliberately guided by the Jiangning Army. Otherwise, it would not be too difficult for Yang Feng to destroy this bandit with his current strength.

You should know that Jinling is not far from here. As long as Yang Feng transfers the remaining three battalions in Jinling, the 40,000 to 50,000 troops will be surrounded by 40,000 or 50,000 troops. Even if Li Zicheng has wings, he will not be able to fly away. The reason why they made such a big noise was to use his hands to clean up Jiangnan.

Originally, this plan had been approved by several generals including Gou Xingma, Jiangning Army, but after seeing the tragic situation in Taihu County, Gou Xingma's heart could not help but shake.

Seeing the unbearable look on Gou Xingma's face, Yang Feng sighed in his heart. Gou Xingma's heart was not strong enough, but he didn't say anything. People's personalities are born and it is difficult for outsiders to change, so he is even less likely to say anything.

The group continued to move forward for a while, Yang Feng stopped and suddenly said, "Come on, the generals of the Duke of his country, the army rested in Taihu County for a few days, posted a notice to stabilize the people and stabilize the hearts of the people, and then sent someone to report to the court, asking the court to send officials to Taihu County to restore vitality as soon as possible."

"Here!"

Gou Xingma and Yan Di looked at each other. As the saying goes, soldiers are the most important.

From a military perspective, since Taihu County has been taken down, what Yang Feng has to do at this moment is to immediately let Cao Yingmao lead the cavalry battalion to attack Anqing Prefecture to restrain Li Zicheng, who was outside Anqing Prefecture. He then led a large army to rush over, surrounded the bandits, and then annihilate the bandits with absolute strength.

But Yang Feng did not do this. Instead, he ordered the troops to station here and posted some notices to calm the people's hearts. Is this planning to steal the jobs of the local government?

However, the two of them also understood Yang Feng's intention. He was giving Li Zicheng time, but I didn't know if this person could understand the "good intention" of the Duke.

With Yang Feng's deliberate indulgence, the news that the Jiangning army recaptured Taihu County was heard in Li Zicheng's ears after only half a day.

"What... Yuan Datou and the others were wiped out? Is this news true?"

Outside Anqing Mansion, Li Zicheng, who was discussing military affairs with Li Yan, was full of shock on his face.

"It is true that the king of Chuang is witnessed by the little man and others. The sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty was already hung on the top of the city of Taihu County. The Jiangning Army's green armor and green skin could recognize it even if it turned into gray!" The spy standing in front of Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said.

Li Zicheng recognized this spy, who also followed him to escape from Mengjin City, and was naturally familiar with the Jiangning Army.

Li Yan, who was standing by, then asked: "Can the Jiangning Army be dispatched now? When will it arrive at Anqing Prefecture?"

In Li Yan's view, since the Jiangning Army took over Taihu County, the next goal must be Anqing Mansion, where their main force is. Unexpectedly, the spy shook his head and said, "It's a good idea for the military advisor to learn that the Jiangning Army did not set off after capturing Taihu County, but began to post notices to restore order and treat the dead and injured people."

"Treat the people who died and injured?" Li Yan asked in confusion: "Didn't the people die and injured a lot in that battle? It shouldn't be. Didn't you just say that the Jiangning Army captured Taihu County in just one hour? How many people can be killed and injured in such a short time?"

"this……"

The spy hesitated for a while before hesitating.

"That... General Yuan captured Taihu County a few days ago and issued an order not to seal the sword for three days, so...so..."

"What?"

Li Yan's face turned pale first, then turned into a tiny blue color, saying word by word: "Three...no sword sealing for three days?"

As a scholar, he knew very well what the saying of not sealing a knife for three days means. In history, any order to not seal a knife after an army occupied a city, once the order to seal a knife was issued, it would be like a catastrophe for the people of this city. It would be great if ten people could survive five.

He grabbed the spy's wrist and showed a look of almost killing in his eyes: "I ask you, how were the people in Taihu County killed or injured?"

The spy was frightened by Li Yan's sharp gaze and said tremblingly: "Little... the little guy doesn't know much, no... But it is said that five or six thousand people were killed or injured in Taihu County in those days, and some said that tens of thousands of people were injured. I don't know how many villains are."

Li Yan was stunned for a long time before suddenly yelling at the sky: "Yuan Datou, you deserve to die of guilt!"

After saying that, his eyes turned dark and he fell straight backwards. Li Zicheng, who was standing beside him, quickly reached out to support him.

"Come on... shout the doctor... hurry..."

Soon, a doctor rushed over with a medicine box, and he pricked and pinched Li Yan, and finally woke him up.

After a long time, Li Yan woke up slowly. When he saw Li Zicheng's first words were: "King of Chuang, you can't wait any longer. We must attack Anqing Mansion immediately in advance, otherwise it will be too late."

Li Zicheng is also a smart person. After a little thought, he immediately understood what Li Yan meant.

These days he has been making new claims everywhere, telling the people of Jiangnan how good the army under the King of Chuang was. The slogan of not paying food from the King of Chuang was even louder. But if the tragedy in Taihu County was spread, it would undoubtedly destroy the efforts they had made over the days. The people of Jiangnan would regard them as enemies. At that time, no matter what the city they wanted to attack, they would be resisted by all local people, and Anqing Prefecture was no exception.

When Li Zicheng thought of this, he secretly hated that Yuan Datou was really not enough to defeat him. If he stood in front of him at this moment, Li Zicheng would have chopped off this bastard without hesitation.
