Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

"One of our own?"

The Beggars' Gang had many interactions with the local garrisons in eastern Shu and complemented each other.

All matters that the garrison cannot handle are left to the Beggars' Gang to handle.

On the contrary, if the Beggars' Sect encounters any difficult problems, the garrison will come forward to solve them.

It was precisely because of their mutual support that the local nobles and officials were either shackled or marginalized.

This was also the strategy adopted by the Princess of Shu against the local gentry.

In addition, Chen Guanqing, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang who is in charge of the Shudong territory, has a close personal relationship with Li Cheng, the general of Jiangzhou.

It also makes people from both sides call each other "brothers".

"Correct!"

"Are you 'Xunfeng Liuye' (professional beggars who gather intelligence)?"

As he said this, both sides had already put away their guard and gathered together.

"Yes!"

"How do you address me as 'Wanxiong'? (Wanxiong is a respectful title for fellow gang members.)"

"Jinyiwei, Lu Ning!"

'Puff, puff.'

As the leading 'beggar' introduced himself, he drew out his broken blade and stabbed the scout captain to death.

The brothers who followed Lu Ning rushed towards the other scouts at lightning speed.

"You are so despicable."

"Disguised as someone from the Beggars' Sect, assassinating us?"

"You, you guys..."

'Sizzle.'

Before they could finish their words, they were killed on the spot.

Dozens of breaths later, except for a few scouts at the rear who 'alertly' turned their horses around and left, all the others were killed.

And looking at those fleeing scouts...

Lu Ning, who did not order a pursuit, said with a cold smile, "Let's go and proceed to the next step according to Master Xu's plan."

"Yes!"

Coincidentally!

On the four roads from Fengdu to Wanzhou, the four teams of scouts appointed by Zhang Meng were all beaten badly by the "Beggar Gang disciples".

One of these teams was the advance team assigned by Zhang Meng. Composed of several hundred men, they were first deceived by the "Beggars' Sect disciples" and then surrounded and suppressed by the Jinyiwei and three battalions of soldiers.

Only a few people escaped!

On the official road near Wanzhou...

Zhang Meng led the main force and advanced towards Wanzhou at full speed.

"Chiu!"

The shrill cry of an eagle resounded in everyone's ears at this moment.

Seeing the falcon circling in the air, Zhang Meng raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to rest, and took a piece of lean meat from the guard next to him.

After he blew a whistle, the circling falcon swooped down.

It landed precisely on Zhang Meng's arm and snatched away the lean meat. It also took the information pinned to its claws.

"Keep an eye on it!"

"Yes."

After handing the falcon over to his personal guards, Zhang Meng unfolded the intelligence.

After reading it quickly, he burst into ear-piercing laughter!

"Ha ha!"

"This is Shu County. If you offend the Shu Palace, you won't even have a place to stay."

Hearing this, the deputy general beside him asked softly, "Deputy General Zhang, what are you so happy about?"

"Let's see!"

"Chen Guanqing, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, has gathered over 5,000 Beggars' Sect disciples in Dazhou. Now, under the pretext of 'demanding an explanation,' they are advancing towards Wanzhou."

"Fearing trouble for themselves, He Zhishan and the officials accompanying him drove Imperial Envoy Xu and his entourage out of Wanzhou City under the pretext of ensuring the safety of the people of Wanzhou City."

"He was forced to retreat to Songshan Ridge, where the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army were stationed."

"Local spies report... the Ming imperial envoy from the capital is currently hiding in Songshan Ridge, ordering his men to reinforce the defenses day and night."

"A worm shakes a tree, and you don't overestimate your own capabilities!"

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, his deputy beside him said quickly, "The Beggars' Sect is also going to kill them?"

"That's... You should know that the father of Huang Ruyan, the new leader of the Beggars' Sect, was killed by this Xu."

"Hundreds of Beggar Gang disciples in Wanzhou have died again."

"With new and old grudges, they will naturally take ruthless action."

Hearing this, the deputy asked, "That bastard surnamed Xu, he's not going to run away, is he?"

"Escape? Where is he going?"

"This is Shu County, our territory. With so many eyes on him, he has nowhere to escape!"

"Also, it is said that the Shu Palace has already drafted the memorial to be submitted to the court."

"After entering Sichuan, the Ming imperial envoy acted arrogantly and domineeringly, drawing the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, leading to unrest in Wanzhou City."

"The rebels took this opportunity to sneak into the city and assassinate the imperial envoy. No one was spared."

When Zhang Meng finished speaking, the soldiers understood and said, "According to this standard, we still have to kill them?"

"Haha."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have never killed an imperial envoy."

"This time, I have to enjoy it."

"It has to be."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as everyone was talking at once and boasting, the sound of galloping horses came from far away!

"alert."

"Ok?"

"Sir, they are one of our own. The scouts from the middle route have reported."

"Report!"

"Sir, you must avenge us!"

'ah? ’

Zhang Meng and his party, who were still immersed in the dream of killing the imperial envoy, immediately put away their smiles when they heard this and saw the scouts who had returned, all of whom were injured.

"What happened?"

"Why are you the only ones back? Where are the others?"

Zhang Meng rushed forward and questioned immediately.

"Dead, all dead."

"The Jinyiwei and the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army are despicable."

"They were all dressed in the attire of Beggars' Sect disciples and were using jargon to get close to us."

"Wait until we let our guard down, then surround and kill us at close range."

"Thanks to our quick wits, we managed to fight our way back and report back to you."

'boom.'

Upon hearing this, the generals, led by Zhang Meng, instantly became furious!

"These bastards deserve to die."

'Report!'

"Deputy General Zhang, the advance team is reporting in."

"They were targeted by the Jinyiwei and the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army. They suffered heavy losses!"

"Plan?"

"They all disguised themselves as Beggars' Sect disciples."

"Report!"

Several reports were heard in succession, and the last ones were all bad news!

This made Zhang Meng and others furious!

"Pass on the deputy commander's order..."

"On the way to Songshanling, no matter who you meet, you will kill them without mercy."

"Especially those who call themselves 'Beggars' disciples'."

"Leave no one behind!"

"Also, the entire army is moving out."

"We must reach Songshanling before dark."

"Before dawn, this general will use Xu Shan's head to pay tribute to his fallen brothers."

"Yes!"

However, when Zhang Meng actually marched into Wanzhou, he truly felt what a "nightmare" was.

The soldiers from the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army along the way, divided into teams of dozens of people, harassed the garrison troops that had been sent to Wanzhou.

He fully implemented what Xu Shan said: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

During this period, a small group of cavalry chased out and lured them into the entrapped hole, and then carried out a unilateral massacre based on the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation.

When the main force caught up, various traps emerged one after another.
