Wang Tiezhu, who lived on the neighboring hill, heard from his men that Wang Fugui had mobilized almost his entire army to pursue Han Shizhong's troops.
Wang Tiezhu almost laughed his head off. How could this be? Had that idiot Wang Fugui gone mad? To gain some fame, he didn't hesitate to hire extras to put on a show.
"Let's go, let's take the brothers to see what's going on. Remember, everyone, expose that bastard on the spot!"
So, Wang Tiezhu and his men happily ran off.
He wasn't chasing after Han Shizhong. He felt that even if he had a hundred lives, he couldn't afford to provoke Han Shizhong, because when he went on a killing spree in Jingdong Road and the south, he killed almost all the Imperial Guards.
He's practically a god of death, just like Bai Qi!
Wang Tiezhu went there to make fun of Wang Fugui.
Aside from robbing and looting, the bandits' lives were actually incredibly boring.
But when Wang Tiezhu arrived and took a look...
I saw the military flag of Han Shizhong's army.
Holy crap!
You're actually pursuing Han Shizhong!
So Wang Tiezhu hurriedly led his men forward to greet Wang Fugui, but Wang Fugui ignored him.
I'm currently accomplishing something important in my life, so get out of my way!
Seeing how enthusiastically Wang Fugui was chasing after the enemy, Wang Tiezhu also started chasing after him.
And so, a beautiful scene appeared in the territory of Zhongshan Prefecture.
Han Shizhong's army was routed and chased by two groups of bandits.
During the chase, Wang Fugui suddenly thought, "I've chased Han Shizhong all over the world. If word gets out, won't I become famous?"
So Wang Fugui immediately sent people to spread the news: the brave and powerful Fengxialing Commander Wang Fugui defeated Han Shizhong's army at Fengxialing and pursued them for three hundred li!
As soon as the news got out, Wang Fugui regretted it.
Wouldn't this just allow someone to steal his credit?
Just like that shameless Wang Tiezhu next door!
Sure enough, when they caught up with Han Shizhong in Xingzhou, the bandits there fled in panic upon hearing that the famous Han Shizhong had been chased by a mountain bandit.
This is a great opportunity!
Killing Han Shizhong will bring him great fame!
This news spread like wildfire on Hebei West Road.
Like Wang Fugui and Wang Tiezhu, everyone thought that killing Han Shizhong would bring them great fame and a huge increase in their value.
Then, an even more bizarre scene unfolded.
Bandits, outlaws, and thieves of all sizes became more active than ever before, all of them as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Today, Hebei has three of the most powerful bandit groups. These three groups have now been incorporated into the rebel army, each with more than 30,000 members, making them three forces that cannot be ignored in Hebei.
The news quickly reached their ears.
Those idiots! How could Han Shizhong, who wiped out the Imperial Guards of Jingdong Road with a mere wave of his hand, possibly be chased by those scumbags!
There must be a trap. We can't act rashly. We must follow the orders given to us by our leader, stay where we are, and form a pincer movement with the three armies to deal with Han Shizhong.
We must not act rashly!
Absolutely not...
However, sending one or two people to check the situation is still an option...
All three armies thought the same thing, so all three small teams went to check the situation.
Upon closer inspection, his face turned pale.
Damn, Han Shizhong was really being chased and beaten?
Great news!
This is fantastic news!
When Zhang Jixian heard the news, he angrily rebuked the spy and had him beaten with twenty lashes, saying it was clearly a lie!
But then I thought, what if it's true?
What if Xie Chengkun and Liu Laoshan both believe it and send people to chase after them? Wouldn't such a good opportunity be snatched away by someone else?
Zhang Jixian immediately dispatched his trusted men with three thousand men to pursue them.
He also told his confidants that if this was true, they must come back and inform him, because he was going to bring everyone over and snatch Han Shizhong away!
Cui Wuji of Zhongshan City has sent his trusted men to the territories of Zhang Jixian, Xie Chengkun, and Liu Laoshan respectively, and gave them a good scolding.
That was clearly Han Shizhong's trick of feigning retreat to advance; only those idiots with brains full of pig manure would believe it.
All three stated that they absolutely did not believe Han Shizhong would actually flee in defeat, and that they would absolutely not send anyone else.
No sooner had the messenger who had met with Cui Wuji returned than the three of them immediately and unanimously sent out more men.
Hahaha! Han Shizhong belongs to me, don't you dare try to take him!
So everyone started a competition to see who could capture Han Shizhong first.
Especially the three most powerful units, they used to be mountain bandits, but many of them were former imperial guards, so they are much more professional than other mountain bandits and outlaws.
They kept sending people out and kept adding more.
Finally, Zhang Jixian decided to throw caution to the wind and led everyone out in full force.
He vowed to teach those poor little bandits a lesson!
Upon hearing that Zhang Jixian had personally taken action and sent out all his men, Xie Chengkun was unwilling to be left out and immediately gathered everyone to start the chase.
The same applies to Liu Banshan.
They ran into each other on the road, and then started calling each other shameless.
I was the one who discovered Han Shizhong first, you shameless idiots!
As a result, on every major road and alley in Hebei, you could see people rushing south like they were on steroids.
Wang Fugui suddenly realized that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him. He only had a few thousand men, while the mountain bandits present, although they were all trash, each led several thousand men.
The weather had finally cleared up, and the sky was a clear blue. The bandits gathered in the territory of Daming Prefecture.
