Under such circumstances, Qu Qingze and a hundred scouts would definitely be able to make a big fuss in Henan Prefecture.

Starting from the fifth day of the second month, panic scenes began to appear in Henan Prefecture.

After Jiangning Camp left Henan Prefecture, bandits actually came here, and the bandits were very powerful.

In the past, there were large groups of troops and small troops, but most of them were targeting villages and towns, and rarely directly targeting prefectures and counties. But this time, the bandits were different. They directly targeted the city. When they entered the city, no one knew it at all. Moreover, the target of the bandits was specifically aimed at the rich gentry.

Although some gentry and wealthy families left the prefectures and counties and lived in Luoyang or Kaifeng, it was still impossible to move out of the old house, and there were still some gold, silver and treasures in the house.

The bandits do not disturb others. They often enter the houses of rich gentry and families, and neatly control the guards and plunder money. The bandits do not have too much food. Occasionally plunder some salt and refined grains. The key is to gold, silver and treasures.

Just five days passed, and Yiyang, Xin'an, Yongning, Lu's family, Songxian and other places were in a row.

The bandits acted so quickly that the rich gentry and wealthy families in Henan Prefecture were afraid of talking about the tiger.

Strangely, some wealthy gentry families were afraid of being harassed by bandits. When they left the county town and rushed to Luoyang, they were also robbed by bandits. All the gold, silver and treasures they carried were stolen. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the people.

Tan Changluo, who was in charge of the affairs of the government office, was already in a state of great anxiety.

He could not have imagined why the bandits far away in Shanxi came to Henan Prefecture again.

The court had sent a large army to wipe out the bandits with all their might. The army led by Hong Chengchou entered Sichuan and chased and suppressed the bandits. The Jiangning Camp led by Su Tiancheng entered Shanxi and chased and suppressed the bandits. The troops of the garrisons in Shanxi and Sichuan were also fully armed. Seeing that the bandits were at the end of their journey, the bandits took advantage of the loopholes and entered Henan Prefecture.

The bandits did things in a straightforward manner, and they were unaware of them. Tan Changluo felt nervous.

He could not dispatch the soldiers of the Henan Prefecture Inspection Department. Most of these soldiers were loyal to the former prefect. The prefect was transferred from Henan Prefecture and went to the capital. These soldiers were uneasy and did not know their future prospects, especially after Jiangning Camp came to Henan Prefecture, the morale of the army was almost dispersed.

If the bandits come to Luoyang, he, the magistrate who is temporarily responsible for comprehensive work, may have an unavoidable relationship.

After doing nothing, Tan Changluo gritted his teeth and went directly to find King Fu Zhu Changxun.

There are more than 2,000 guards in the Fu Palace, and the combat effectiveness of these guards is very good. If King Fu can agree to protect the safety of Luoyang County, there is no need to be afraid of bandits.

Unfortunately, he thought it was a little simpler.

King Fu did not see him at all and sent a housekeeper to deal with the matter.

The meaning of King Fu, the guard of the royal palace is to protect the security of the royal palace and cannot interfere in local affairs. Otherwise, the emperor and the court would blame him and could not afford it. As for the bandits in the Henan Palace, weren’t there Jiangning Camp and Hongnongwei? There were so many troops, specifically responsible for local peace, and the government office could ask for orders to be dispatched.

Tan Changluo touched the gray nose.

He knew a little about the reason behind this. After Su Tiancheng became the prefect of Henan Prefecture, he had never visited King Fu. At this time, King Fu must have had an idea. He would definitely not do anything to help the government office for no reason, unless Tan Changluo made the decision and gave the money, King Fu's attitude might be relaxed.

Speaking of silver, Tan Changluo's bag is not qualified to use the silver in the treasury, but based on the qualifications, what can the little silver in the treasury do? The poorly small silver will be difficult to maintain the salary of officials, not to mention doing anything else.

The tide of note was delivered to the government office.

Tan Changluo was already in a panic. The memorials he sent all said that he had encountered bandits and suffered heavy losses. He asked the government office to find a way to solve the problem. He had almost no intention of reading these memorials.

But things still have to be done.

Tan Changluo had no choice but to write a memorial to the court. At the same time, he also sent a yamen runner to enter Shanxi and sent a letter to the prefect, so that the prefect could know the situation in Henan Prefecture.

On February 12, news that terrifyingly caused Tan Changluo came.

The inspection department of Lingbao County was looted by the bandits. The bandits tied up the inspector's army into rice dumplings, and all the weapons and silver were taken away.

The inspection department was attacked by bandits, which is no small matter.

If the bandits can easily break through the inspection department and think about taking down the county town, wouldn’t it be easy?

Fortunately, this is a small group of bandits. If the large group comes, wouldn’t it mean that Luoyang can’t be saved?

Tan Changluo made up his mind and wrote three memorials to the court in succession to explain the serious situation of Henan Prefecture. At the same time, he asked the government office to try every means to report the situation here to the prefect who was fighting abroad.

Su Tiancheng knew all this.

He led the soldiers of Jiangning Camp to be stationed in Pinglu County. Of course, Jiangning Camp was not idle either. The bandits in Pinglu, Ruicheng, Jiezhou, Anyi and Xia County were all wiped out by Jiangning Camp, and all the seized gold, silver, treasures, including grain, were distributed to the poor people.

If this is Su Tiancheng's hometown, it is also necessary to do something for the people of his hometown.

Of course, Su Huawen and others who were in Pingyang Prefecture City did not know that Su Tiancheng had already arrived at Pinglu County under Pingyang Prefecture with Jiangning Camp. After all, the imperial edict from the Ministry of War was only issued to Jiangning Camp, and did not require the prefectures and counties along the way to provide food and grass subsidies.

Jiangning Camp is stationed in Pinglu County, as stable as a rock.

The army led by Hong Chengchou also did not achieve any results. On the contrary, Gao Yingxiang and others in Shaanxi gained space for survival due to the withdrawal of the imperial army and began to grow rapidly. The number of people increased, and they felt a faint feeling of recovery. Gao Yingxiang and others led the bandits to attack two county towns in the first month and February, and went to replenish food and grass.

There was a lot of debate in the court.

The situation in Henan Prefecture, including in Shaanxi, was quickly reported to the court. Faced with such a situation, the Ministry of War’s opinions were not unified. Some people believed that it was necessary to insist on eliminating bandits, while others believed that the current situation was not good. If bandits continued to develop and grow, the victory of the Battle of Zhongdu would not be very meaningful.

Su Tiancheng has written the first seal fold, analyzed the current situation in detail, and put forward his own suggestions.
