Zhang Shigui sneered in his heart as he watched Wang Jian leave.
County government official?
What kind of bullsh * t position was that?
One had to know that Zhang Shigui was living a good life in the city. He was carefree and had a good life. But when he went to the county government as an official, he was controlled by others.
It seemed like he was an official, but in fact, he was just a small official.
He was not willing at all.
Zhang Shigui was thinking about Du Qi in his heart.
Zheng Sanduo was dead.
Right now, he needed a new backer, someone who would submit to him.
What should he do?
Submit to Du Qi?
Although there was Zhang Zhongjing's matter, if one were to look into it carefully, there wasn't much hatred between the two of them. Zhang Zhongjing wanted to kill Du Qi, but he was killed by Du Qi. He deserved it.
He could not be the only one who could kill and not allow others to kill him.
When Zheng Sanduo was alive, Zhang Shigui was willing to avenge Zhang Zhongjing. But now, Zheng Sanduo was gone and Mount Fuyang was gone.
Zhang Shigui still had to look forward.
He also needed to live.
That was reality.
It was the reality of the small fry.
The small fry who lived at the bottom did not need any big revenge. It was enough for them to live a good life.
Zhang Shigui had an idea in his heart. After he made a decision, he no longer hesitated.
He had decided to submit to Du Qi.
Of course, it also depended on whether Du Qi was willing to accept him.
Zhang Shigui thought about the follow-up arrangements in his heart. In a short time, Zhang Shigui had thought it through. He no longer hesitated. He immediately picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and handed it to his confidant.
Zhang Shigui's confidant was called Pang Fu.
Zhang Shigui said, "Pang Fu, now that Zheng Sanduo is dead, Mount Fuyang is also finished. Now, we need to find a new backer. This Pan Du County's Bennett Lu is not reliable. "
"So, now we submit to Du Qi."
"To work for Du Qi."
"Take my letter and go out of the city directly to see Du Qi and express my willingness to submit to him."
Zhang Shigui said, "As long as Du Qi agrees, you can bring his army to Pan Du County. Take him through the underground tunnel and directly enter the city to destroy Du Qi."
Pang Fu nodded and said, "This little one understands."
After a pause, he said, "Boss, what if Du Qi doesn't accept our submission?"
Zhang Shigui said, "If he doesn't accept it is a person's will not lead the way.. You are an ordinary person. I believe that Du Qi will not harm you.
Pang Fu said, "Got it."
Zhang Shigui said, "Time is of the essence. Go. Don't go out of the mansion directly. Take the underground tunnel out of the city. After all, it is very likely that Bennett's men are watching outside this residence. "
"Boss!"
Pang Fu nodded.
Pang Fu took the letter and returned to the backyard. Then, he left the house through the underground tunnel and finally came out of the city.
After leaving the city, Pang Fu rushed all the way.
Fortunately, at this time, Du Qi's army was already close to Pan Du County. Therefore, Pang Fu ran into Du Qi's army after rushing for two hours.
Pang Fu directly stepped forward and said, "I'm Pang Fu. I want to see Du Qi's men. I have something important to report."
The soldier immediately went to report after receiving the order.
Du Qi was curious.
They were already close to Pan Du County and were less than fifteen miles away, yet someone still came to report.
Du Qi asked the soldier to bring Pang Fu over. He looked at Pang Fu and said, "What do you want to report?"
Pang Fu said, "Reporting to Lord Du, my boss, Zhang Shigui, was a spy arranged by Mount Fuyang in Pan Du County. Now that Mount Fuyang is gone, my boss is willing to submit to Lord Du. Please take him in. "
Du Qi's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Zhang Shigui wants to follow me. What can he help me with?"
Pang Fu said, "As long as Lord Du accepts my boss, he will give you a plan to break the city."
Pang Fu handed over the letter while speaking.
Du Qi took it and read it carefully. In fact, the content of the letter didn't mention anything about the underground tunnel. It only said that Zhang Shigui was willing to submit to Du Qi and that he thought Du Qi was the real lord of Songyang County.
Du Qi put away the letter and said, "Pang Fu, as long as Zhang Shigui can help me break Pan Du County, I promise to accept him. However, if Zhang Shigui can't do it, he will forever be a bandit of Mount Fuyang. "
Pang Fu said, "I can break it, I can break it. When I left the city, the four gates of Pan Du County were already closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The reason why I can come out is because my boss has been operating in Pan Du County for many years and dug an underground tunnel that leads directly to the city. As long as Lord Du arranges soldiers to follow me, they can enter the city. "
Du Qi raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.
He didn't expect there to be such a tunnel. This was a good thing.
If they could enter the city, breaking the city would be as easy as blowing off dust.
Du Qi asked, "Really?"
Pang Fu said, "Of course."
Du Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Pang Fu, if I can enter the city easily and win this battle, I will record Zhang Shigui's merit."
Pang Fu said, "Thank you, Lord Du."
Du Qi ordered, "Lead the way."
"Yes!"
Pang Fu led Du Qi's army and continued to rush forward.
At this time, Du Qi let Liu Che lead the army in front to attract attention and let Banel know that Du Qi had arrived with the army.
In this way, Banel wouldn't suspect anything.
The army led by Du Qi quickly approached Pan Du County. When Du Qi's army reached Pan Du County and was less than six miles away, the army led by Mordor arrived first.
Mordor came to Du Qi's side and reported the situation of Mount Fuyang.
Du Qi's smile was even brighter.
Mordor's return meant that Du Qi's strength was very strong. Especially with Mordor here, when Mordor entered the city, Mordor would lead the army. At that time, they could cooperate from the inside and outside and easily break the city.
The army continued to rush forward. After another two miles, they were already very close to the county.
At this time, Du Qi began to divide the army.
Liu Che led the army and went straight to the west side of Pan Du County. He was going to camp outside the city to attract Banel's attention. On the other side, Du Qi was going to lead the army into the city through the underground passage.
The underground passage leading to the city was located in the east of the city, in a forest outside the east side of the city.
Pang Fu arrived with his men and ordered, "Lord Du, you take your men and follow me."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Mordor, you lead three hundred soldiers and enter first. After entering, come back and inform me of the situation. You have to be careful when entering the city. "
Mordor said, "This subordinate understands."
He took three hundred elite soldiers and followed Pang Fu into the city.
This incident took about fifteen and a half minutes.
After Moledo brought his men out of the tunnel, he saw Zhang Shigui. Seeing that there was no problem, he quickly took control of the tunnel's surroundings and sent someone to inform Du Qi.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Shigui praised in his heart.
As expected of Du Qi.
He was cunning enough.
He was also cautious enough.
He had clearly said that he would surrender, but Du Qi still did not enter the city for the time being. Instead, he arranged for people to come in through the tunnel to stabilize the situation. After about half an hour, Du Qi led the army over.
Du Qi was the leader, and there were more than two hundred people behind him.
In total, there were 1,500 people.
When Zhang Shigui saw Du Qi coming, he quickly saluted and said, "Zhang Shigui pays respect to Lord Du."
Du Qi said, "Zhang Shigui, although you were once a bandit of Mount Fuyang, you have done a great deed. But now that you've performed a meritorious service, I'll remember this. If you take down Banel, you will naturally be rewarded. "
Zhang Shigui said, "Thank you, Lord."
At this moment, Zhang Shigui was really relieved and really settled down.
Zhang Shigui said, "Lord Du, I heard the sound of war drums outside the city. My men went to inquire about the situation. It was your men who beat the war drums outside the West City, pretending to attack. So now, Banel and Wang Jian went to the West City and are not in the County Yamen. "
Du Qi said, "You lead the way. We will go to the West City and directly break the city."
"Yes!"
Zhang Shigui immediately complied.
Immediately, he led Du Qi's army out of the mansion and headed straight to the west side of the city.
