Chapter 93: Fang Chi, Governor of Lixian County
Lixian County Prefecture.
"What, Guangshan County was also attacked by General Soaring to the Sky yesterday?" Fang Chi, the governor of Lixian County, jumped up from his seat in shock at the sudden news.
"Yes!" Fu Qing, the governor of the county, nodded with a sad face after reporting the news.
"What's going on in Guangshan County now? Where's the county magistrate?" County Sheriff Fang Chi asked anxiously the county magistrate Guan Fuqing.
"Now all the people in Guangshan County have fled to the capital city to avoid disaster. The magistrate of Guangshan County has been hanged by the rebel general General! No wealthy squire in the city has been spared!" Fu Qing, the governor of the county, continued to report what he had received this morning.
news.
When the officials from Qianlixian County under the hall heard this military report, their faces turned pale with fright.
Captain Qin was even more horrified. There were more than 20,000 soldiers in the city of Lixian County, but 5,000 of them were being paid by him and his subordinates. The actual number of soldiers was only 15,000.
More than a thousand people.
Now this group of rebels is not afraid of the power of the county and has gathered more than 20,000 people. They really want to lead an army to attack the county. What should they do?
Qin Duwei knew very well what kind of people he had under his command. How could he resist more than 20,000 rebels?
My life is at risk! Captain Qin’s back was suddenly wet with cold sweat.
Fu Qing, the governor of the county, quickly calmed Fang Chi, the county guard who was already in chaos, and said quickly: "Master, don't panic. I heard that the magistrate of Hexian County has asked King Lu for help. King Lu has led more than 30,000 troops.
Ma went south and has now helped the magistrate of Haxian County to retake Haxian County. He is now leading his troops to station outside the city of Haxian County. You can also write to King Lu for help like Lin Zheyun, the magistrate of Haxian County. King Lu is also a member of the Wen family.
The people in the middle will not sit idly by and watch the rebels harm the city of Daji!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Write to King Lu immediately. Now it's too late to ask Zhuozhou Prefect for help. I hope King Lu can lend a helping hand to save us!" The county guard nodded hurriedly.
The governor of the county, Fang Chi, was also one of the people whom Captain Qin paid his filial piety to. The two of them had always protected each other. He knew very well whether the guards of Lixian County could resist this rebel bandit. At this time, he listened to the governor of the county.
Qing said this and immediately agreed, as if he had been reborn.
Wu Fangling, the magistrate of Changxian County, was also in the hall at this time. When he heard the county manager Fuqing suggested that the county guard Fang Chi write a letter of request for help to King Lu, he immediately stopped him and said: "No!"
Everyone in the hall looked at Wu Fangling, the magistrate of Changxian County who suddenly spoke up.
When the county guard Fang Chi saw that it was Wu Fang leader who spoke, his expression immediately changed and he yelled: "This is Lixian County, and I am the county guard of Lixian County! There is no place for you to speak here!"
It turned out that Wu Fangling, the magistrate of Changxian County who had played an empty city trick and deceived General Chongtian, had resettled a group of people from Qianchang County who had fled to the capital of Lixian County four days ago, and then shamelessly took the people from Changxian County with him.
A group of officials temporarily lived in the county government office.
He is even more like a scoundrel, leading a group of officials from poor families who he personally promoted, eating and drinking in the county government like dog-skin plaster, taking root and sprouting.
If someone makes fun of him, Wu Fangling will just pretend to be invisible. As a person who reported the situation of the rebel bandits to Lixian County, the county guard Fang Chi cannot drive him out of the county even though he dislikes him deeply these days.
Outside the house, there was nothing they could do about him, so they could only treat him as nothing.
Wu Fangling ignored the scolding of the county guard and continued to remind him urgently: "The rebels started to rebel only more than a month ago and formed a force quickly. How did King Lu who was far away in Kuzhou send 30,000 soldiers from Kuzhou so quickly?
The one who came to rescue? Lixian County was under the rule of Zhuozhou, and the governor of Zhuozhou did not respond to send troops for reinforcements. King Lu's "arrival of troops" was too fast! Unlike the one who led troops to rescue after receiving the letter asking for help.
The timing of the rhetoric is wrong! There must be something fishy! Besides, everyone knows that King Lu is ambitious, so we must be on guard!"
Wu Fangling's sincere reminder made County Sheriff Fang Chi feel that he was looking for trouble. He thought to himself that a shameless person who only knows how to take advantage of small things can have big plans, so he still turned a deaf ear and regarded this person as nothing.
When Wu Fangling saw this, he immediately became anxious. Before he could give a warning, he saw Fu Qing, the governor of the county, shaking his head slightly at him, signaling him not to say anything further.
