Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 180: That imperial envoy will bloodbath the entire southwest county tonight
A stone tablet was also erected in the center of the city.

It says "Kill the traitor and give me a bright future!" The eight characters are vigorous and powerful, showing that the person who wrote these eight characters is definitely a scholar with outstanding literary talent.

"Who are these people?" Yang Yanzhang asked.

He really couldn't figure out who these people were, because they were all wearing armor and holding weapons, and they didn't look like ordinary farmers.

The deputy replied: "Replying to your lord, these people are bandits from Southwest County. They were originally bandits who followed Yang Li to do evil, but after Yang Li's defeat, they scattered and fled, and now they have become bandits."

"What about the officials?" Yang Yanzhang said angrily, "Yang Li's men were causing trouble, but the officials didn't stop them?"

The deputy shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After Yang Li fled to Shaanxi, this place was left to these bandits. The government has long given up on the southwest, so how can it control these bandits?"

"You bastard! This is totally unreasonable!" Yang Yanzhang said angrily, "These dog officials, when I take back the southwest, the first thing they do is to capture all these worms and chop off their heads!"

Although Yang Yanzhang wished that all the officials who dared to deceive him would be executed in Ling Chi, it was a pity that this was not something he could do with just one word.

But he remembered this grudge.

After he takes control of the Southwest County, even if he combines the northwest and southwest armies, he will take down the guys in the Southwest in one fell swoop.

Yang Yanzhang and the others did not waste time and immediately rushed to the Southwest Government Office.

When Yang Yanzhang thought about it, the city should be in chaos now.

But what surprised him was that when they arrived at the government office, the lights were still bright and there was no panic at all.

This result made Yang Yanzhang confused, what on earth is this Yang Li doing?

"Sir, look -" the deputy pointed at several knights running towards the government office in the distance.

Yang Yanzhang frowned and said, "Are you Yang Li's attendant?"

"Yes, he is Yang Li's personal attendant."

Hearing this, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly. Does Yang Li want to surrender?

"Stop them and don't let them enter the city, so as not to cause misunderstanding." Yang Yanzhang shouted hurriedly.

He is not afraid that Yang Li will surrender, but he is afraid that Yang Li will use this to threaten him.

As long as he stops these people, he will have enough time to enter the government office and completely wipe out Yang Li.

But soon he found that he was thinking too much.

Because these people didn't stop at all, they bypassed them and continued running towards the government office.

"Is it possible that Yang Li wants to beg me for mercy?" Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly.

"Sir, you see they seem to be looking for something." The deputy warned in a low voice.

Yang Yanzhang looked intently and saw the knights rummaging through the boxes, looking for something.

Yang Yanzhang's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Boom~"

Suddenly a loud noise sounded from the city.

A burning fireball shot quickly and finally hit the ground less than five feet away from Yang Yanzhang.

Yang Yanzhang dodged repeatedly and finally avoided the aftermath of the fireball's explosion.

"Damn Sheep Power!"

After escaping the fireball, Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth and cursed: "You dare to cheat your death. What a pity. Even if you escape to the end of the world, I will find you."

"Sir, are you saying that they deceived us into entering the city by setting up suspicions?" the deputy said in shock.

Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "Besides this, do you think there is any other explanation?"

"What should we do now? Shall we catch up?" "Catch up?" Yang Yanzhang laughed loudly, "I don't believe that fool would believe such nonsense as Yang Li. If his Yang Li is so powerful, at what time will it be up to us to recover it? Southwest County? No matter how powerful these bandits are, can they still compare to the officers and soldiers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him suddenly realized.

Yang Yanzhang is right.

If these bandits were as powerful as Yang Li said, Southwest County would have fallen long ago.

"But over there at Yangli..." the deputy said.

"I'll leave Yang Li's batch of granaries to you." Yang Yanzhang said solemnly.

He planned to lead his troops into the city and then take the opportunity to capture the government office.

But now something happened on Yang Li's side, which made him change his mind.

First capture the Southwest Government Office, and then compete with Yangli for a win.

Yang Li must have more food hidden away. Even if he wins the battle, his subordinates will not be short of food and salary.

……

While Yang Yanzhang led his men to attack the Southwest Prefecture, a large army was marching at high speed in Southwest County.

This army is very small, with only more than 600 people, but each one is equipped with a spear, bow and arrow, and a sword at his waist.

Especially the leader, the war horse under his crotch is even more ferocious, and ordinary horses cannot compare with it.

This man's name is Xu Guang, the chief steward of the Southwest Palace, and Yang Li's confidant.

"Report~" The scout hurried over and knelt in front of Xu Guang.

"Reporting to the Chief Superintendent, the royal envoy and the imperial soldiers have retreated to the southwest prefecture. Please tell me if you want to continue the pursuit?"

Xu Guang pondered for a while and said: "According to the plan, you will raid various key passes in Southwest County and make sure to push back the bandits in Southwest County."

"Follow the order!"

"Sir, how many people do we need to stay behind this time?" Another person stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"About 300 people." Xu Guang said calmly.

This number is too small. If the southwest bandits resist desperately, or if someone slips through the net, 300 people will not be enough.

"My subordinate understands."

Following Xu Guang's order, the six hundred cavalrymen turned their horses and returned along the way they came.

Not long after these cavalry left, news came back one after another, and many thieves were killed.

This scene was seen by Yang Yanzhang on the city wall, and he sighed in his heart: This idiot Yang Li is really useless. His thieves have already withdrawn to the county government, and he still wants to engage in a trapped beast fight?

Not only that, along the way, I kept encountering fleeing people, bandits, and even the refugees who were frantically breaking up and fleeing.

Yang Yanzhang is completely used to this situation. If the borers in the southwest are not eliminated, this situation will only get worse.

"Sir, the officials from Southwest County have gathered in the government office. Do we still want to continue the attack?" the deputy asked.

Just now, Yang Yanzhang said that all Yang Li's people had fled, but now he found that was not the case. There were still so many officials standing at the entrance of the government office. They obviously knew that he was coming and made a special trip to wait for him.

"Since Yang Li chose to betray, I will bloodbath the entire Southwest County tonight." Yang Yanzhang said with a gloomy face.

"Sir, shall we go in now?" the deputy asked again.

Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and said: "Come in! After entering the city, everyone will listen to me and don't let any fish slip through the net."

Since Yang Li chose to run away, he had nothing to fear.
