Chapter 266: First battle victory and Gao Ren

"Kill, kill into the county office and capture Li the Skin-Peeler alive!"

Outside the Yuncheng County office, hundreds of soldiers wearing Liang Shan armor were fully armed,

surrounding the county office tightly, so that not even a fly could fly out.

"This perfectly fine county town, how did it suddenly fall?"

The County Magistrate Li, known as "Heaven is three feet high," listened to the uniform shouting outside the county office, his whole body trembling.

As a county magistrate who only knew how to sit in the county office and issue orders,

how could he know the methods of Zhang Jie, a dignified transmigrator?

Long before attacking the Zhu Family Village, Zhang Jie had started mixing sand into the soldiers of Yuncheng County.

By today, the city defense of Yuncheng County had long been in his hands.

In the past, it was just to reach an unspeakable tacit understanding with County Magistrate Li that he didn't launch it.

Today, once the order was given, the other soldiers who had suffered from the oppression of the County Lieutenant,

led by Liang Shan soldiers, killed the County Lieutenant who was crazily drinking the soldiers' blood, surrendered to Liang Shan, and opened the city gates.

The Liang Shan soldiers preparing to attack the city outside were able to attack the county town without bloodshed and surround the county office.

"What to do, what should I do next?"

"Fight to the death? I'm still young, I don't want to die yet!"

"Escape? Outside are all the people of the Liang Shan bandits; I can't escape!"

The panicked County Magistrate Li was like a headless fly for a moment.

Suddenly, a person who came leading dozens of county soldiers outside the hall made his eyes light up.

"Brother Hu, you finally came!"

County Magistrate Li seemed to have grabbed a straw for his life, flying over to grab the arm of the person who came:

"Brother Hu, quickly take this county to break out; this county wants to write to the imperial court,

report to the Emperor, that, that Liang Shan bandit, he, he has rebelled!"

The person who came was the Assistant County Magistrate Hu, known as one of the three giants of the county office along with the County Magistrate and County Lieutenant.

"Liang Shan bandit? I am also a Liang Shan bandit!"

Assistant County Magistrate Hu grinned and waved his hand:

"Left and right, take him down immediately and hand him over to His Highness the Benevolent King for disposal!"

County Magistrate Li, who was held up by two soldiers, accused him in disbelief:

"You, you actually dare to defect to the rebels; this is a crime punishable by the extermination of the nine clans!"

"Rebellion?

If you fail, it's rebellion; if you succeed, it's revolution!"

Assistant County Magistrate Hu smiled disdainfully.

Having been to Liang Shan, he knew that in this battle, Liang Shan would definitely win, and the Great Song would definitely lose!

As Liang Shan soldiers took control of important locations such as the county office, city walls, and treasury,

Yuncheng County was firmly grasped in Zhang Jie's hands.

The first war of Liang Shan sweeping the world, the first battle was a victory!

At the same time, in the Qingzhou military camp hundreds of miles away from Liang Shan, from the Regional Military Commissioner who commanded an army,

down to the Commandant who commanded a unit of men, all were looking forward to it outside the main camp.

Even though the sun was at its zenith, everyone in formal attire was sweating profusely, but no one dared to leave the team to cool off,

just because they were going to welcome the Angel from Bianliang today.

Anyone who dared to be disrespectful in front of the Angel shouldn't think about making achievements in their official career anymore.

Even if they made the Angel unhappy, the current position might not be kept.

Creak, creak.

As the sun slanted to the west, dozens of riders finally escorted a carriage that was unusually spacious,

shaped like a small house, carved with beams and painted rafters, and decorated unusually beautifully.

The Regional Military Commissioner didn't dare to be slow, kneeling down in front of the carriage first:

"Minister Li Wenjun pays respects to the Angel!"

Well, he was a bearded, rough-looking military general wearing armor,

but his name was "Wenjun" (Literary and Handsome), which was truly too contrasting.

But who let this be the Great Song where "only those who sing their names outside the East Flower Gate are good men"?

In our Great Song, alas, the masters of liberal arts are masters.

When a civil official meets a military official, automatically being three ranks higher is the rule!

Even a seventh-rank civil official dares to point at the nose of a Privy Councilor like Di Qing, who had military merits and was a first-rank official, and scold him.

One can imagine why the parents of this Regional Military Commissioner Li gave him the name "Wenjun."

"We pay respects to the Angel!"

The other generals under Regional Military Commissioner Li also bowed one after another,

not daring to have half a hesitation, for fear of offending the Angel because of it.

"That's enough, get up."

A voice that was very feminine and had little masculine vigor came from the carriage.

Everyone was not surprised by this: the Angel is the messenger of the Emperor.

And when it comes to the degree of trust by the Emperor, as an outside official who is a subject,

how can they compare to the eunuchs whose life, death, glory, and shame are all in the Emperor's single thought?

If it is said that under the ancestral instruction of the Taizu "the Emperor and the scholar-officials share the world,"

the scholar-officials and the Emperor are partners, then the eunuchs are the house slaves of the Emperor;

who is distant and who is close, who is near and who is far, is self-evident.

"Thank you, Angel."

Regional Military Commissioner Li only dared to stand up slowly after thanking the Angel.

Then he couldn't care about wiping the dust off his body, but continued cautiously:

"The end general has prepared a light banquet in the tent; I hope the Angel will grace us with your presence."

"Then let's go."

The Angel in the carriage didn't even show his face; the degree of arrogance and the contempt for the "thief-matched army" outside were evident.

"Thank you, Angel, for gracing us with your presence."

Regional Military Commissioner Li naturally didn't dare to have half a complaint, leading the way in front himself.

Just like this, the carriage drove swaggeringly and openly into the military camp,

which should have been heavily guarded and carefully inspected for passing vehicles.

"Angel, be careful."

Arriving in front of the main tent, Regional Military Commissioner Li came to the side of the carriage to serve diligently.

At this time, he didn't look like a Regional Military Commissioner who held the power of an army at all,

but clearly like the lowliest servant in a landlord's house, racking his brains to please the landlord.

"Regional Military Commissioner Li has a heart."

A sickly pale hand lifted the curtain, and then a person with a white face and no beard,

with a feminine temperament and dressed as a eunuch, walked out.

It was just puzzling that this guy who was clearly a eunuch actually had an Adam's apple!

It made people suspect whether the master working in the purification room in the palace,

which was specifically responsible for manufacturing eunuchs, was a small master who hadn't practiced enough, with poor craftsmanship, and didn't cut him clean.

"These are all things the end general should do; it's not hard, it's not hard."

Regional Military Commissioner Li didn't look sideways at the fact that the Angel had an Adam's apple, serving diligently by his side.

The person in front of him was Gao Ren, the attendant who had been deeply favored by the Emperor recently; he couldn't afford to offend him.

Besides, the father of this attendant Gao was the son of his superior's superior, Grand Marshal Gao Qiu.

Yes, this Angel was exactly the Young Gao Gao Yanei who had been castrated by Zhang Jie and Lin Chong...

"Angel, please come inside."

Regional Military Commissioner Li led the way diligently in front.

"Ouch!"

As soon as he entered the main tent, Young Gao Gao Yanei, oh, it should be Attendant Gao Ren, almost fell down because of the smell inside.

On such a hot day, with dozens of strong men in full armor

in such a relatively closed space as the main tent, the smell inside could be imagined.

"This is the mistake of the humble official; I hope the Angel will be magnanimous."

After Regional Military Commissioner Li apologized, he hurriedly had people light incense to add fragrance and remove the smell.

As the smoke from the incense curled up, Gao Ren, who was covering his mouth and nose with a silk scarf, looked a little better. ===== CHAPTER 267 =====
