Chapter 1035 Public Opinion Is as Strong as a Mountain
Sure enough, the messenger jumped down to the ground and said solemnly:
"Report to the Commander--"
He Lingchuan raised his fingers at him and nodded to the teachers and students with his chin.
How can we report military information in front of civilians? This guy is new?
The messenger understood and whispered in his ear: "Three hours ago, the Xiqian puppet army just attacked the Baicheng post station. From the postmen and grooms to the caravans resting inside, no matter men, women, old or young, All killed. The total number of dead is one hundred and seventeen!"
Sun Fuling, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and noticed that He Lingchuan's jaw was tense.
Xiqiao puppet army bloodbathed the inn? This has not happened for a long time——
Ever since the exchange of strength between Yuheng City and the Xiqian puppet army.
Regardless of whether they are bandits or bandits, they rarely kill all their prey. That's fishing in the marsh. After all, their usual purpose is to make money. If they are so vicious, there will be no newcomers on the trade road.
He Lingchuan asked in a deep voice: "Are there no witnesses?"
"A caravan was just about to enter the inn. When it heard the shouts of killing, it turned around and ran away. As a result, more than half of them were killed, leaving only about ten people." The messenger said, "Master Chao analyzed that these survivors may have been deliberately left by the other party. of."
Not only did Fushan Lie massacre indiscriminately, he also wanted to let He Lingchuan know immediately:
Yes, I did it.
Is this guy crazy?
Moreover, Baicheng Station is the closest station to Longchuan Lake. It was abandoned for many years. It was not until He Lingchuan regained most of Longchuan that it was renovated and reopened.
This was also the place where he negotiated to recruit the two major water bandit gangs, including the Anqiu Flower Gang. It can be said that there was the turning point in the subsequent series of events in Takigawa and the beginning of Yuheng City gaining the initiative.
Fushan Liexuan's rioting and killing here was Chi Guoguo's provocation, which was no different from throwing a gauntlet in He Lingchuan's face.
He Lingchuan stood up and said to Sun Fuling and the masters: "I will go back to the camp first, and you can eat slowly."
Master Liu couldn't hear the conversation between him and the messenger, so he tried to persuade him to stay: "You haven't even eaten a bite of food."
It's an honor to have dinner with the Commander-in-Chief.
He Lingchuan smiled, took the fish soup from Sun Fuling's hand, drank it all by himself, then wiped his mouth and stuffed the bowl back to her: "It tastes great!"
In full view of everyone, Sun Fuling's face turned red again, and she pinched his arm hard before saying, "Be careful, there will be a monster if something goes wrong."
"I don't have to." He Lingchuan patted the back of her hand, then strode out of the pebble beach, jumped on the horse brought by the messenger, and didn't look back.
…
Over the next two days, four more bloody attacks occurred on the Takigawa trade route.
Of course, the Yuheng City Army stepped up patrols.
In order to ensure the success rate, Fushan Lie personally led an elite team of more than 20 people to play hide and seek with the Yuheng City Army on the Longchuan Trade Road.
He changed his strategy, killing if he could, and running if he couldn't. He focused on a man who came and went like the wind, elusive, and would never let Yuheng City's army catch his tail.
This team killed two people but was hit by the Yuheng army. Fushan Lie did not fight or fight, turned around and ran away.
The Yuheng army easily captured four or five prisoners, but he did not turn around to rescue them and just ran away without a trace.
This style of play is very strange.
The Longchuan Commercial Road is so long and the road conditions are so complicated. If he really wants to fight guerrillas, He Lingchuan really has nothing to do with these few people.
Our side is in the light and Fushan Lie is in the dark. The latter only needs to find ways to destroy it.
Destruction is always easier than construction and maintenance.
Fu Shanlie's crazy attack caused an uproar in Yuheng City and Baisha Port.
Is the Takikawa Trade Road not peaceful again?
Can we still take this road in the future?
What happened to the local snake Yuheng City? Can it still be responsible for the safety of business travelers?
Soon, all the public opinion turned into pressure and was transmitted to He Lingchuan.
He is the commander-in-chief, and he is responsible for the safety of the Longchuan Trade Road.
The original strategy of boiling frogs in warm water no longer worked. People from Yuheng City were also killed in these five attacks. The soldiers and civilians in Yuheng City were furious and asked the general to quell the Xiqian puppet army and avenge the innocent dead!
Civilians petitioned for war, and soldiers petitioned for war.
Now that Yuheng City has surrounded Longchuan and the situation is excellent, why not just remove this rotten scar?
They didn't know He Lingchuan's concerns, and they didn't know that Fu Shanlie, Yuheng City's opponent, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Even if they knew, they didn't care.
Even the adjutant Chao Qian couldn't help but mention the attack plan in front of him.
The whole city was in a state of agitation.
When the family members of the deceased also came to the gate of the City Health Department to cry and petition, begging Yuheng City to provide them with justice, He Lingchuan knew that this final operation to suppress the bandits could not be delayed any longer.
This is what the people want, and it will be difficult for him to disobey it.
Still being coerced. He Lingchuan looked up to the sky and sighed. Could this be what Fushan Lie wanted?
Sun Fuling happened to walk into the courtyard and couldn't help but smile when she heard his sigh:
"Are you exhausted these days?"
In the past, He Lingchuan always thought she was missing, but now he is much busier than her. He often stays at the City Health Department, and it is normal for him not to go home for half a month in a row.
He Lingchuan finally saw how many things there were to do in a rapidly expanding city and how many troubles were waiting for him.
In reality, he is busy admiring the Shan Islands, entering the world of Panlong at night, and managing Yuheng City.
Working hard day and night is the real 007.
Every day the 996 workers shed tears of sympathy when they see him.
When he first moved to Yuheng City, Sun Fuling built a frame in his yard and planted clematis.
I don’t know if the climate here is particularly good. After just over a year, the clematis has climbed all over the wall. The green branches and leaves completely cover the base of the gray wall, and the blue-purple flowers flutter in the wind, attracting bees and butterflies.
The master is wearing a light orange dress today, with fair skin and beautiful appearance. When she stands in the yard, she injects gentle warmth into this slightly cold flower wall.
The warm sunshine shines on her, and she is so quiet that she doesn’t seem like a real person.
When He Lingchuan saw her, his heart calmed down immediately, and seven out of ten troubles were gone.
"Yes. Today a woman rushed into the city guard office, and without saying a word, she kowtowed on the stone steps, knocking so hard that the stone steps were stained with blood. The guards thought she was going to commit suicide by hitting the stone." He Lingchuan scratched the back of his head, "Her husband died at Baicheng Post Station a few days ago, and she came to ask me to clear out the Xiqie puppet army."
Sun Fuling nodded: "So, when will we attack?"
"Soon." He Lingchuan said seriously, "This matter cannot be delayed."
He is the head of a city, and it is his duty to maintain peace and redress the grievances of the weak.
Sun Fuling held a bunch of gardenias in her hand, went into the house to change the water in the vase, and then put the flowers in the vase and placed it by the window. In this way, when the breeze comes, the whole room is filled with fragrance.
