The core of the rebelling counties was Hannan County, which was located two hundred miles away from the "Land of Abundance", the Yadu Plain. It would only take three days for the army to rush to Yadu from there.
Therefore, the urgent need to resolve the Nanman Incident was right in front of him!
They were not ordinary bandits. They had the ability to take down a city guarded by soldiers and surround the imperial court's elite dragon cavalry who had been infected by the plague.
Hannan County, Raoguang County, was only a hundred miles away from Yadu.
The sky had just brightened when a fast horse suddenly galloped past the west of the city.
When the sentries guarding the city wall hurriedly stood up to investigate, they saw a cold light rushing towards the city wall. The sentries instinctively lowered their heads to dodge.
An arrow flew past his scalp and nailed itself on the pillar of the city gate tower behind the sentry.
"Meng Huo is here! Meng Huo is here!"
The sentry was so scared that he peed his pants and immediately shouted.
In just a few moments, dozens of county soldiers had already swarmed forward.
The leader of the group was a burly man with an imposing appearance. He was more than eight feet tall and looked dignified. That burly man even carried a double-edged sword.
The burly man only took two steps before he arrived in front of the sentry and shouted sternly,"Hurry up and tell me! Where is Meng Huo?"
The sentry's face turned pale as he pointed at the pillars of the city gate tower.
The burly man looked over and saw a wolf fang arrow nailed to the pillar. There was a scroll on the arrow. He immediately went forward and pulled the arrow out.
"Useless thing! An arrow scared you like that?"
The burly man opened the scroll and was immediately dumbfounded. It was from the Southern Conquest General Chang Yuchun, asking them to open the city gate.
Chang Yuchun's arm strength was extraordinary. He could see that the city gate of Raoguang County was practically useless, but this was the southern gate of Yaodu.
The big man was the new county magistrate, Lin Bimao. He had only been here for ten days because the previous county magistrate had been beheaded by Wang Anshi for corruption.
The Southern Conquering General, Chang Yuchun. This official name was used to be favored, but Chang Yuchun was unheard of.
This Lin Bi Mao was previously a deputy general under Xiang Chong, so he knew quite a lot of things in the Imperial Court.
However, the emperor's appointment of the new South Conquering General was a big surprise to him. This level of official position was usually held by the founding fathers or their descendants, or it was inherited from the favored son.
"Open the city gates!" Lin Bimao shouted.
"Magistrate Lin, what if Meng Huo comes?”the sentry said, trembling.
"Useless thing, the army of the Imperial Court is coming. Open the gates and welcome them!”
Lin Bi Mao said furiously. As a general, being a civil official was a special appointment given by the current situation.
Chang Yuchun stood at the forefront of the Dragon Infantry Army with a bow and arrow on his back.
The city gates of Raoguang County slowly opened, but Chang Yuchun didn't enter the city. Instead, he waited for Lin Bimao to come out with the soldiers of the county.
"You are the county magistrate, Lin Bimao?" Chang Yuchun's voice was like a bell as he spoke to Lin Bimao.
"I…I am Lin Bimao, a new official appointed by Minister Wang. I was originally a general.”
Lin Bimao dismounted and bowed to Chang Yuchun after leaving the city.
"I order you to vacate all the prison cells in the county, all the idle houses and even the empty spaces. Soon, a large number of barbarians will be captured and moved in.”Chang Yuchun said.
"Great General, I will immediately take care of the matter of vacating the houses. As for the deployment of troops, I have a different idea. What if the army is dispatched and Meng Huo attacks? Behind Raoguang County was Yadu.”Lin Bimao felt embarrassed.
"With the army moving out, it's a problem whether Meng Huo can escape or not. How can there be an attack? This general has the authority to act first and report later.”Chang Yuchun said impatiently.
Lin Bi Mao was shocked after hearing this. He had been in the army for more than ten years and had never met such a straightforward general.
He was also a hot-blooded man. Without another word, he turned around and ordered all the soldiers to gather. He himself also took his spear and mounted his horse.
Meng Huo's vanguard was fifty miles away from Raoguang County. The soldiers of the uncivilized tribes were dressed in all kinds of clothes and weapons.
When Meng Huo's vanguard saw the Dragon Infantry Army that blotted out the sky, they did not retreat. Last time, they had killed quite a number of Dragon Infantry Army soldiers. This time, they were even bolder.
The leader of the vanguard army was a leader of Meng Huo's Blood Alliance tribe. His name was Huang Huafeng. Because he fought with no regard for his life and even ate the human flesh of captives, Meng Huo gave him the name Lunatic Huang.
Madman Huang was riding on a date red horse with a spiked club in his hand. He was actually bare-chested in the middle of winter. His face was full of beard, and his eyes were fierce.
