Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 177 Kill the Great Sage Master First
Garrison camp.

In the command tent.

Qingzhou Tongzhi An Liangbi and garrison commander Lei Yu were standing in front of the map, holding oil lamps and making their final plan.

"Sir, all the troops in Qingzhou City have been assembled and are ready to set off at any time."

"Although this Shenlu Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't take it seriously."

"My scouts have already investigated and found that most of the Taiping Dao's personnel are assigned to the procurement, transportation, and distribution of grain. The only ones left on Shenlu Peak are the core members of the Taiping Dao and a bunch of scum from the Red Fire Sword Sect."

"Therefore, we don't need to pay attention to the ordinary followers of the Taiping Dao. We only need to lead our army directly to the Taiping Dao headquarters on Shenlu Peak. Once we capture the bandit leader, the bandit army will collapse on its own!"

Lei Yu was a burly man with a full beard. He was wearing armor and pointed at the map as he spoke to An Liangbi.

An Liangbi didn't understand military affairs, but he also felt that Lei Yu's statement was reliable.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first capture the king.

The spiritual leader of the Taiping Dao is only the Great Sage and Good Master. As long as the Great Sage and Good Master is captured, the Taiping Dao will naturally collapse.

An Liangbi shouldn't be here tonight.

He should be planning to lead all the yamen runners and detectives to search the entire city for the Taiping Dao.

Lei Yu should be fully responsible for the attack on the Taiping Dao headquarters.

But during the day, An Liangbi felt uneasy after witnessing the absurdity of Yang Weitu, the current head of the Yang family.

He was always worried that something might go wrong.

That's why he came to the military camp in person. As long as he could ensure that nothing happened to the army, then taking down Taiping Dao would be a sure thing.

at this time.

An Liangbi secretly glanced at the other person standing behind Guard Lei Yu.

The man was also wearing armor, and he exuded a solemn and murderous aura that was unique to the army.

He was standing a little far from the oil lamp, which made his face look a little gloomy.

This person is Feng Tian, ​​the moral leader of Qingzhou.

That is, the husband of Mrs. Feng, the beautiful woman from the Yang family during the day.

In the military camp, he is the most powerful one after Lei Yu.

He is also the person that An Liangbi is most worried about.

Until now, An Liangbi still doesn't know whether Feng Tian knows about his wife's affairs.

When he thought of this, An Liangbi couldn't help but secretly curse Yang Weitu again in his heart.

He also decided that after the Taiping Dao was wiped out, he would definitely support a smarter person from the Yang family.

An Liangbi calmed down and couldn't help asking:
"Sir, I heard that the Great Sage Master is very skilled in martial arts."

"Are you confident in this battle?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yu said disdainfully:

"Master Tongzhi is referring to the battle between the Great Sage Master and the elders of the Senluo Sect, right?"

"To be honest, the Great Sage Master's martial arts skills are quite good, at least at the fifth level. He also has a masked warrior under his command, who is at the sixth level and can fight a fifth-level warrior head-on. He is quite capable."

"In addition, the wife of the former leader of the Red Fire Sword Sect, Jiang Lengxue, is also a fifth-rank master."

"The rest are just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning."

An Liangbi nodded slightly when he heard this.

He had also heard the general intelligence. It seemed that Lei Yu was well prepared. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Only to hear Lei Yu continue:
"I may not be very talented, but I am at the peak of the fifth rank! In a few years I will be able to enter the fourth rank."

"The reason I'm still serving as a garrison commander in Qingzhou is simply because I'm lacking an opportunity."

"If I can achieve merit in suppressing the Taiping Dao this time and be recommended by the Emperor's father-in-law, then when I reach the fourth rank, that will be the day I'll be promoted to Lieutenant General!"

Having said that, Lei Yu pointed at Feng Tian behind him.

"Feng Caoshou is also a fifth-rank master! And quite talented."

"He just had no one to recommend him, just like me. Otherwise, he would have been serving as a garrison commander in another state by now."

"Sir Tongzhi, after this battle, we'll have to trouble you and Young Master Yang to put in a few good words for us in front of the Emperor."

When Lei Yu said this, a warm smile appeared on his face.

He was a military officer and a fifth-rank master, but for the sake of promotion he had to treat An Liangbi, a civil servant, with courtesy.

An Liangbi's heart trembled when he heard this.

He couldn't help but secretly glance at the morally upright Feng Tian again.

This person is a fifth-rank expert and a key figure in the fight against Taiping Dao.

How on earth did Yang Weitu dare to touch his wife?

An Liangbi calmed down and continued to ask:

"But if that's the case, wouldn't our army be at a disadvantage against top-tier warriors?"

"The Taiping Dao has a great and virtuous master, a mysterious master, and also has the help of Jiang Lengxue."

"And in our army, there are only two masters who are of the fifth rank. So..."

Lei Yu burst into laughter when he heard this.

An Liangbi was puzzled and didn't know why Lei Yu was laughing.

After a moment, Lei Yu began to explain:
"Don't worry about the war, my lord. Everything is under my control."

"Fighting in the Jianghu is very different from fighting on the battlefield."

"I have two thousand warriors under my command, and the number of sixth and seventh-grade warriors among them completely crushes the Taiping Dao!"

"On the battlefield, the confrontation between top warriors is crucial, but it is not as decisive as the fierce fighting in the martial arts world. There are many other factors that can affect the outcome."

"Military warriors are good at forming battle formations. Once a battle formation is formed, it is enough to put tremendous pressure on those martial arts warriors."

"Even if the Great Sage Master and Jiang Lengxue can successfully break through the formation with their fifth-grade realm, their internal energy will be almost depleted. By then, trying to deal with them will be like catching a turtle in a jar."

After hearing this, An Liangbi felt a little relieved.

He was about to ask again.

suddenly.

I saw a soldier running in hurriedly.

The soldier knelt on one knee and reported:
"Report to the garrison commander!"

"The South City Gate was opened without permission. The Taiping Dao and the victims outside are now rushing into the city frantically!"

When this news came out, everyone in the tent was shocked.

They were about to go and deal with Taiping Dao.

As a result, Taipingdao actually showed up early!
And it came so quickly!

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, and the Taiping Dao's attack really caught everyone off guard.

Lei Yu was angry when he heard this:
"Who opened the city gate without permission?"

"Without my order, who dares to open the city!"

An Liangbi seemed to have some understanding:

"In Qingzhou City, the prefect Gao Yuan also has this power and ability."

Although Gao Yuan was sidelined, he was still the prefect after all.

This position alone has a huge influence, and it is not difficult for him to place his own people to secretly open the city gate.

Hearing the prefect, Lei Yu could only shut up and stop complaining. The struggle between An Liangbi and the prefect Gao Yuan was a struggle between civil servants, and he didn't want to get involved.

This time he only wanted to deal with Taiping Dao and avenge the Yang family.

An Liangbi immediately said:
"Sir, since the Taiping Dao have entered the city, shouldn't we attack immediately?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yu raised his hand and said:

"We should first determine the location of the Great Sage Master, and then take action."

"Go and find out immediately where the Great Sage Master is!"

Soldiers received orders:

"As ordered!"

Then he quickly retreated.

Just at this time.

A burst of shouts suddenly exploded over the city.

"Kill the sheep demon!!!"

"Plague!"

"Kill the sheep demon!!!"

"Plague!"

……

The shouts were so loud that even the tables in the big tent were shaking.

Such shouting also made An Liangbi and Lei Yu's expressions change.

An Liangbi was surprised:
"How many Taiping Daoists have come to this city to make such a cry?"

"No! It should be that the Taiping Dao has brought a large number of disaster victims with them to cause chaos."

"Could it be that the Taiping Dao is planning a rebellion?"

For a moment, everyone in the big tent felt heavy in their hearts.

If the Taiping Dao really rebelled, the entire Qingzhou City would probably be greatly affected.

Instead, a light appeared in Lei Yu's eyes:
"It's just right that they're rebelling!"

"I'm just worried about not having the opportunity to make great achievements!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble tonight will be killed!"

He is different from those civil officials. The military officers' achievements are reflected on the battlefield.

If the Taiping Dao really rebelled, then suppressing the Taiping Dao would be the merit of suppressing the rebellion.

This contribution is much greater!

If those disaster victims dare to join in the riot, then they can be considered rebels and killed together!
The more you kill, the greater your military merit!

An Liangbi swallowed a mouthful of smear and hurriedly advised:

"Master, please be patient."

"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

An Liangbi doesn't want Lei Yu to go on a killing spree.

On normal days, relying on bloody massacres to suppress civil unrest would be an effective way.

But now the plague is rampant in Qingzhou, and the rebellion in neighboring Yangzhou has not been quelled.

The world is in turmoil. If we carry out a massacre rashly, it will not only fail to deter people, but will instead arouse greater public anger.

At this time.

Suddenly, I heard shouting outside getting closer and closer.

It seemed that they had already arrived outside the military camp.

An Liangbi and Lei Yu were shocked and were about to go out to check.

"Report!"

With a loud shout, another soldier suddenly ran in:
"Report to the garrison commander!"

"The Taiping Dao led the victims and split their forces into two groups."

"One of them was heading towards the military camp and has already reached the outside of the camp."

"Another group is heading towards the Yang family and has already surrounded the Yang family compound!"

After hearing this, everyone in the big tent couldn't help but frown.

How come this Taipingdao person is so successful?

An Liangbi couldn't help but ask:

"Hasn't the city already deployed numerous bailiffs and constables to guard the key roads?"

"Why did Taiping Dao go to the Yang family so easily?"

The soldier replied:
"The Taiping Daoists were so numerous and powerful, and they used the magic water to lure people away, causing all the yamen runners and constables to flee. No one was able to stop them!"

Hearing this, An Liangbi felt something was wrong.

He shouldn't have come to the barracks.

He should lead a group of yamen runners and constables to protect the Yang family first.

With him around, those yamen runners and constables would certainly not dare to escape without permission.

Even if the Yang family cannot be saved, at least it can delay the situation for a while and give the army enough time to react.

Now, the Yang family is surrounded and the situation is serious.

Nothing can happen to the Yang family.

Otherwise, nothing can be discussed.

At this time.

Another soldier ran in:
"Report to the garrison commander!"

"The Taiping Dao set up a fire outside the Yang family's house, pretending to burn it down!"

Upon hearing this, An Liangbi and Lei Yu felt their scalps tingling instantly.

If the Yang family is finished, then it would be really bad.

The Taiping Dao moved so quickly that before everyone could discuss their deployment, they had already attacked Huanglong.

Lei Yu immediately said angrily:

"All troops, follow me immediately and go to the Yang family to rescue them!"

The Yang family must be saved, and Lei Yu dare not delay.

"Report!"

Another soldier rushed in:
"Report to the garrison commander!"

"The Great Sage Master's carriage has arrived outside the camp!"

At this moment, Lei Yu couldn't help but look at An Liangbi.

Before they could go find the Great Sage Master, the Great Sage Master actually came to their door in person.

This monster dared to come to the military camp. Is he really tired of living?
Killing intent flashed in Lei Yu's eyes:
"You've arrived just in time! Then kill the Great Sage Master first!"

"Once he dies, the siege on the Yang family will be lifted!"
