Gu Shisan had naturally anticipated this outcome, given that the small sparks of revolution had spread to various villages.

In order to control the situation, Gu Shisan held a training course at the foot of Jieshi Mountain to specifically instruct the villages on how to act.

The situation in each village needs to be regulated to prevent it from collapsing or going too far.

In addition, members from other neighboring squads also came to participate and learn from the advanced experience of Squad Thirteen.

Gu Shisan was generous in offering advice to these comrades.

After learning from their experience, some neighboring squads began to promote Squad Thirteen's approach in other regions.

The entire area surrounding Changli County is ablaze with activity!

After dismantling Changli County and retreating to the foot of Jieshi Mountain, Gu Shisan shifted his focus to the official road area, preparing to begin his most important task.

Meanwhile, news from Changli County also reached the imperial army at the Yuguan front.

When Marquis Yongchang, Zhang Fuchen, learned of this news, he was completely stunned.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Fuchen stared wide-eyed at his advisors and questioned, "You said that Prince Xin's army secretly infiltrated Changli County and even occupied the county seat?"

"Yes, my lord!"

The advisor nodded and said, "The people around Changli County have all participated in the rebellion, and many villages have sided with Prince Xin's army."

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Fuchen didn't believe this explanation at all and asked sternly, "Is the Prince of Xin's army so stupid as to send people to Changli County, which is our rear!"

How many men can they send? And how many have they actually sent? Aren't they afraid we'll send a large army to encircle and annihilate them?

This is just courting death!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Prince Xin isn't that stupid!

Even if Zhang Fuchen was unwilling to believe this situation, what happened in Changli County was a real event.

What angered Zhang Fuchen the most was that only a few hundred of Prince Xin's troops had infiltrated the rear.

"Only a few hundred people?"

Zhang Fuchen laughed coldly in his anger, saying, "That brat Prince Xin completely disregards our imperial army. He dares to send just a few hundred men to sabotage our rear. Aren't they just handing us their lives?"

Zhang Fuchen scoffed and ordered, "Since they don't care about the lives of these people, then we should do as they wish!"

Tell Wu Junsheng to lead six thousand men, no, ten thousand!

Let him lead 10,000 men to Changli County to quell the rebellion. He must recapture Changli County for me and annihilate this army of Prince Xin!

Even if it's Prince Xin's army, no matter how powerful, I can still defeat them with 10,000 men against 600!

"Enough, enough, my lord!"

The staff member quickly responded.

Zhang Fuchen's staff naturally understood his arrangement perfectly.

After all, the area near Changli County is an official road that protects the transportation of logistical supplies, so it cannot be lost, and it cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Prince Xin's army.

If Changli County cannot be recaptured, the transportation of logistical supplies will be threatened.

If supplies for the frontline troops collapse at that point, the situation will likely become even more dangerous!

This is also why Zhang Fuchen dispatched a large army to recapture Changli County!

Under Zhang Fuchen's arrangement, Wu Junsheng led 10,000 men and set off immediately towards Changli County.

"General Wu, don't you think the Marquis is being a bit too cautious?"

A lieutenant rode up to Wu Junsheng and said, "It's just six hundred of Prince Xin's soldiers, right? They're in our own territory, unfamiliar with the area, and have no support!"

Should we lead 10,000 men to attack them?

The Marquis is becoming more and more cautious.

Indeed, none of the attacks on Yuguan City during this period have gone smoothly; anyone would be afraid.

"Say less!"

Wu Junsheng glared at the deputy general and scolded, "Does the Marquis need your opinion on what he's doing?"

Besides, are we simply trying to wipe out this group of Prince Xin's troops?

No!

We also need to quell the unruly people in the Changli County area. Under the instigation of Prince Xin's troops, these unruly people have begun to spread to Luanzhou, Qian'an, Lulong and other places.

If this situation is not brought under control soon, the situation will become extremely serious!

The Marquis is farsighted and naturally saw this, which is why he dispatched so many troops to attack!

If you don't know, don't interrupt, or you'll cause trouble!

"General Wu is right!"

The lieutenant quickly bowed his head and replied.

The team continued forward, and before entering Changli County, they encountered local militia members who had spontaneously organized themselves in several nearby villages.

"Hey, these rioters, they're developing pretty fast, huh?"

Wu Junsheng sneered and said, "Go! Arrest all those rioters!"

At Wu Junsheng's command, the imperial army immediately surrounded Liujiagou.

However, the villagers had already learned of the arrival of the imperial army.

When the imperial army surrounded them, the villagers of Liujiagou immediately moved into the mountains.

When the imperial army stormed into Liujiagou, they were faced with an empty village.

After searching, the village was deserted, and not even a single valuable item was found.

"Where are the rioters?"

Wu Junsheng was somewhat angry; he hadn't expected those rioters to run away so quickly.

"It's numb!"

Wu Junsheng cursed in a deep voice: "You can run away, but you can't hide!"

If the rioters have fled, then this village no longer needs to exist!
