The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 57 Convergence
"The county town belongs to them?" Cui Weihua couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard this: "Is this thief confused? When did the county town belong to the thieves?"

Wu Jialiang frowned: "There are more than two hundred thieves?"

The scout nodded. "Yes, a lot of people. The villagers from the villages along the way have all fled here."

Wu Jialiang's head suddenly felt heavy with worry, and he couldn't help but glance at Master Ye and Bruce Lee. Just as these two masters had said they were leaving, the thieves showed up again. He really didn't want them to leave. But he was full of chivalry, unlike ordinary officials who had no shame, and he was too embarrassed to take back what he had said.

At this time, Yue Wenxuan was thinking: Where have I heard the name Brother Zheng Qi?
Think about it for 0.32 seconds.

He suddenly remembered that when he first got the sand table, his vision followed Madam Gong Er's escape into Laoshan, where she reunited with dozens of her subordinates. At that time, one of her subordinates said, "Brother Zheng Qi should still be alive. When the city was captured, I saw him leading dozens of his brothers and fleeing to the northeast..."

After Madam Gong Er had settled down in Dongmiaozi Village, she sent people to look for her old subordinates, but they were nowhere to be found. Another person who had escaped the encirclement was Brother Zhang Jiu, but he was also missing.

Now we know that Brother Zheng Qi fled to the island, and now he has gathered more than 200 people from somewhere and has come back to fight. When he said "the county town belongs to them", he was of course referring to the Jimo rebel army. Last year, Jimo County Town was indeed controlled by the Jimo rebel army for several months.

Thinking of this, Yue Wenxuan had an idea in his mind.

This group of "thieves" must be intercepted by Madam Gong Er on the way, so that they cannot harm the countryside. But before Madam Gong Er recruits these two people, I also have to help the people in the county town avoid harm.

Thinking of this, he controlled Master Ye's body and said to Wu Jialiang, "Mr. Jialiang, since there are more vicious thieves here, the two of us will not return to the master's house for the time being. Let us continue to stay and help you."

Wu Jialiang was delighted: "Thank you very much."

Yue Wenxuan ordered the two plastic men to continue following Wu Jialiang and obey his orders, but his consciousness suddenly cut out of the sand table, and his vision naturally returned to the top of Madam Gong Er.

At this time, Gong Er Niangzi was secretly learning Qi Jiguang's training methods on the training ground...

The organization of the rebel army has been expanding rapidly recently. In the battle of Chengyang Coal Mine, all of Black-footed Tiger's subordinates were surrendered by the rebel army. Then, several bandits and tyrants operating in the surrounding areas were defeated by the rebel army and surrendered.

The rebel army's mandarin duck formation has expanded to 20.

But only the first eight were trained best. The progress of the 12 newly formed Mandarin Duck Formations was uneven. Some were still in the stage of reciting military regulations, and were tied up and beaten with military sticks every day, while others had already entered the formation drill stage, where soldiers holding brooms and door panels were moving around and practicing very hard.

Qi Jiguang would determine the content of their practice based on the different progress of each Mandarin Duck Formation.

Not only did Gong Erniang work hard to learn and train soldiers, she also asked Qi Jiguang for advice on various military strategies.

She really asked the right person. Qi Jiguang wrote "Jixiao Xinshu", which has 18 chapters, including "Binding the Troops", "Drill Orders", "Array Orders", "Instructions to the Soldiers", "Laws and Prohibitions", "Comparison", "Field Camps", "Drills", "Going to War", "Long Weapons", "Shields and Whips", "Short Weapons", "Shooting Techniques", "Boxing Classics", "Various Weapons", "Flags", "Standing Guard", and "Sailors".

Qi Jiguang can be said to have achieved the pinnacle of military strategy from ancient times to the present.

Madam Gong Er had learned a lot from him after asking him for advice. She was listening attentively when she suddenly saw the True Lord descend from the sky and land beside her: "Zheng Qi has appeared."

Madam Gong Er was immediately overjoyed: "Seventh Uncle is indeed still alive."

Yue Wenxuan: "He's on his way from the eastern island to the county town. Go and stop him! Don't let him harm the people of the county town like a bandit."

Upon receiving the order, Madam Gong Er hurried out of the parade grounds, calling Qian Zhuoqun along with her. The two of them mounted the fine horses of the Jin cavalry, brought a dozen scouts with them, and galloped towards the county town. As soon as they left Dongmiaozi Village, the scouts dispersed in a northeasterly direction.

Yue Wenxuan returned to his main body outside the sandbox and followed them from a bird's-eye view. He saw the plastic mountains and rivers swiftly sliding across the sandbox...

Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun ran for a short distance before a scout returned: "We've found them! Brother Zheng Qi is leading over 20 of his men and resting in Dawang Village, miles from the county seat."

Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun changed their direction and rushed towards Dawang Village.

Yue Wenxuan followed them from the sky and suddenly discovered something interesting...

From the corner of the sand table's field of vision, seven more people ran out, also riding horses and galloping towards the northeast. They were the county lieutenant Wu Jialiang and his four old subordinates, as well as Master Ye and Bruce Lee. Judging from the direction they were heading, it was obvious that they were also going to Dawang Village.

The two teams were so far apart that they couldn't see each other. Only Yue Wenxuan, who had activated the "full map cheat", could see everything clearly.

Wu Jialiang came here to "sound out the situation".

It would be too difficult to wipe out more than 200 vicious bandits. He wanted to use his martial arts skills to see if he could have a chat with the bandit leader. Maybe "with his eloquence, he could make the other party call him brother and bow down to him." This possibility was not impossible.

It didn't take long for Wu Jialiang to arrive outside Dawang Village.

Out of caution, he did not approach directly, but first climbed up Huagai Mountain next to the village. Taking cover from the trees on the hillside, he secretly looked at the situation in Dawang Village to see how "ferocious" this group of bandits was.

If they're cannibalistic, then give up on trying to persuade them. If they seem reasonable, then consider how to negotiate.

He stood in the "peeking position" and saw a woman and a businessman, accompanied by a group of cavalry, coming to the gate of Dawang Village.

Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun are here!

There were more than a dozen of them, all on horseback, making quite a sight. The people of Dawang Village were immediately alarmed, many of them leaping to their feet and shouting loudly. A large number of bandits ran towards the village entrance, many of them grabbing weapons.

Just as he was about to fight, he heard Madam Gong Er yelling at the top of her lungs, "Seventh Uncle! Seventh Uncle! Is that you?"

Qian Zhuoqun also shouted: "Seventh Brother! Where are you? Look who's here."

As soon as the two shouted like this, people in Dawang Village immediately shouted in ecstasy: "Second Lady, Second Brother!"

A man carrying a big knife and a man carrying a long gun rushed to the village gate at the same time.

The man carrying the big knife was named Zheng Hao, and he was the seventh in command of the Jimo rebel army.

The man carrying a spear is called Zhang Jiaozi, and he is the ninth in command of the Jimo rebel army.

The two of them arrived at the village entrance, their faces full of joy: "Second Lady, Second Brother, you are still alive!"

Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun were also delighted and said, "Seventh Uncle, it really is you! Oh, Uncle Nine is here too."
