Du Qi had a bright smile on his face as he said, "Very good. Since you're willing to submit, that's fine. In fact, I hope that you'll be more stubborn. It's better if you don't submit. Because in this situation, I can justifiably kill you. After I kill you, I'll bring your corpse to Yongye County. Who would dare to refuse? "
Zeng Cheng's face twitched.
How terrifying!
Du Qi, this person, was truly terrifying beyond compare.
He really wanted to kill him.
Zeng Cheng did not want to die just like that. After all, he had a big family and was living a carefree life. He was not willing to give up such a good life.
Zeng Cheng hurriedly said, "Young Master Du, don't worry. I'll submit. I'll submit. I'll submit to Young Master Du and listen to all your arrangements. I promise that Yongye County will surrender. "
"Good!"
Du Qi nodded and said, "I believe you."
"Men!"
Du Qi immediately ordered.
Immediately, soldiers entered. Du Qi ordered, "Take Zeng Cheng away and hand him over to Mordor. Tell him to report back after we take down Yongye County. "
"Yes!"
The soldiers escorted Zeng Cheng away.
After receiving Du Qi's order, Mordor's army rested for half a day before they set off for Yongye County again.
This time, the journey to Yongye County was very smooth.
When they entered Yongye County, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
Mordor called Luo Binwang, Yan Three, and Liu Che over. He said, "Young Master has instructed us to take down Yongye County before we can report back. Now, tell me about our next plan. "
Luo Binwang said, "General Mordor, it should be very simple and easy to take down Yongye County. The reason is simple. We have Zeng Cheng in our hands. We just need to spread the news that Zeng Cheng has submitted to Fushan County and order the people in Yongye County to submit. This way, Yongye County will naturally submit. We don't need to do anything about this. "
Mordor nodded. He looked at Liu Che and Yan Three and asked, "What do you think?"
Liu Che said, "I agree with Mr. Luo's analysis. In fact, I've thought about it afterwards. Previously, when we captured Zeng Cheng, we should have marched straight into Yongye County and seized it. Why did they have to retreat? What an unnecessary move. "
Mordor said, "This is my responsibility. I don't blame you. After all, I'm the general. "
Since it was his responsibility, Moledo would not shirk away from it.
He could not deny his crops.
Yan Three quickly added, "General Mordor, I also agree to release the news and order the people in Yongye County to surrender. After all, Ceng Cheng had already been taken down. Now, destroying Yongye County will be a piece of cake. "
Mordor nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone has reached a consensus, then let's go. Next, we'll follow this decision and arrange for people to spread the news, then we'll go straight in. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
All of them agreed with this suggestion.
After Mordor made the arrangements, the soldiers who went to spread the news left first. Mordor's army followed closely behind and headed towards Yongye County.
Before Mordor's army arrived at Yongye County, the people in Yongye County had already received news of Zeng Cheng's defeat.
After all, even though Zeng Cheng was defeated, some soldiers still managed to escape.
When the soldiers who escaped returned to Yongye County, they reported the news to their superiors.
The person in charge of Yongye County was the deputy county magistrate, Fan Pingping. He had been the deputy county magistrate for twenty years and was in his forties. He had been the deputy county magistrate of Yongye County since a long time ago. Unfortunately, he had been the deputy county magistrate for a long time and had never been promoted.
When Fan Pingping heard the news, he was stunned.
Zeng Cheng was defeated!
Zeng Cheng led five thousand soldiers to face the enemy.
Fushan County only had three thousand soldiers.
Even though Zeng Cheng was not good at fighting, he could still hold out for a while. However, the moment the army met the enemy, it collapsed. This situation was very disappointing.
At the same time, Fan Pingping's heart was filled with worry.
He was worried that he would not be able to defeat the enemy.
He was worried that he would not be able to withstand the attack.
Fortunately, Fan Pingping soon received news that the soldiers in Fushan County had defeated County Magistrate Zeng Cheng's army. They chose to retreat instead of heading straight for Yongye County.
To Fan Pingping, this was music to his ears.
When Zeng Cheng was not around, he was the boss.
Now that Zeng Cheng was gone, although he was the deputy county magistrate, he was as good as the county magistrate.
Therefore, Fan Pingping was tempted to take over the position of county magistrate. After all, Zeng Cheng was tied up in Fushan County, and the soldiers in Fushan County had retreated. This situation was his opportunity.
He would be the county magistrate.
He would be in charge of Yongye County.
He would have a taste of what it was like to be a local tyrant.
However, when Fan Pingping was actively planning in private, a yamen runner suddenly rushed into Fan Pingping's study.
The yamen runner had a panicked look on his face.
When Fan Pingping saw this, he immediately scolded him, "What are you doing in such a panic? The soldiers in Fushan County have retreated. What are you afraid of?"
The yamen runner said, "Deputy county magistrate, the soldiers from Fushan County are coming to the county."
"What?"
The moment Fan Pingping heard this, he jumped to his feet.
His face was filled with a serious expression, and even more so, a grave expression.
Fan Pingping said, "According to the news we received, the soldiers not from Fushan County have retreated. Why are they coming to Yongye County now? "
The yamen runner said, "I don't know either. I only know that the soldiers from Fushan County are coming to the county. Other than that, there's also news that County Magistrate Zeng has surrendered to Fushan County and ordered us to surrender. "
Whoosh!
Fan Pingping's expression changed drastically.
How despicable!
He did not expect Zeng Cheng to surrender before he even became the county magistrate. Furthermore, the troops of Fu Shan County had already begun their assault. This was an extremely unfavorable situation for Fan Pingping.
The current Yongye County did not have many soldiers. There were only about a thousand of them. It was impossible for them to defend against Fushan County's army with just a thousand soldiers. Even though the city walls of Yongye County were sturdy, the problem was that the city walls would not last long against the cannons.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to defend the county.
Fan Pingping thought about it for a long time. He did not have any other choice.
He could only choose to surrender.
"Sigh …"
Fan Pingping sighed and ordered, "Pass down my orders. Gather all the soldiers in the county. Then, inform all the officials in Yongye County that we will surrender immediately when the soldiers from Fushan County arrive. "
"Yes, sir!"
The yamen runner heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
The main forces of Yongye County had already been defeated and surrendered. Even County Magistrate Zeng Cheng was a prisoner.
No one in Yongye County thought that they could defend the county.
They would definitely lose.
Therefore, Fan Pingping decided to give up resisting. The yamen runner was relieved. At least they would not lose their lives while defending the county. After the order was passed down, the entire Yongye County no longer had any intention of resisting. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of Fushan County's army.
