I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Who is it!?" The guard at the city gate sounded a little excited when he saw the large number of people coming from the direction of the capital.

A quarter of an hour ago, they heard the sound of horses galloping violently and sent someone to report it to the governor.

"General Zhongwu is here to arrest the Xiao family's traitors. Open the door immediately!"

Dong Wenfeng took out the token and waved it towards the city gate tower.

He had been walking for such a long time without saying a word, but suddenly he shouted a few words at the top of his voice, and his throat felt burning.

“.....Yes!” The guard at the city gate heard that reinforcements from the capital had arrived.

Soon, the heavy city gate creaked open from the inside.

A group of dirty city gate guards stood on both sides of the city gate, looking at the dusty Dong Wenfeng and his soldiers into the city with excitement.

After all the soldiers entered the city, the guards at the city gate were dumbfounded.

They looked at the soldiers who had already entered the city in confusion, and then stretched their necks to look at the official road.

This-----that's it?

The city gate guards looked at each other and couldn't help but start discussing.

“Are there any more soldiers following us?”

"It should be. Otherwise, how can such a small number of soldiers fight against 300,000 rebels?"

"Don't worry about it. General Zhongwu will definitely come with the cavalry first. The infantry can't run that fast. They will probably arrive tomorrow."

"I guess so. How could the Daliang Dynasty send so few people to suppress the rebellion with millions of soldiers?"

"......"

The guards at the city gate comforted themselves and then waited for another quarter of an hour, craning their necks at the gate.

There was not a single person in sight on the dark official road.

Dong Wenfeng, who had just entered the city for half a quarter of an hour, met the magistrate Tong who had hurried over.

"General Zhongwu, I've finally got you here!"

Magistrate Tong went to meet him with tears in his eyes.

God knows how happy he was when he heard the guard at the city gate say that reinforcements were coming.

If reinforcements don't arrive, the rebels will attack, and Shiquan City has no ability to fight at all.

Dong Wenfeng pulled the reins, lowered his eyes and glanced coldly at Prefect Tong.

"Master Tong, where are the rebels!?"

His desire to kill has now reached its peak.

It would be difficult to calm his anger without killing thousands of rebels.

"......" Prefect Tong was slightly stunned. Looking at Dong Wenfeng's arrogant look, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But when he thought about the generals' behavior, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.

"The rebels are resting in Peace City at this time."

Prefect Tong glanced at the densely packed cavalry behind Dong Wenfeng.

"I wonder how many soldiers General Zhongwu brought with him this time?"

He couldn't tell at this moment how many people Dong Wenfeng brought with him.

Only four horses could ride side by side on the street, and when he looked over, he could see that the line seemed to have no end in sight.

However, thinking that there were as many as 300,000 rebels, he still wanted to ask how many troops the emperor had sent.

Dong Wenfeng glanced at Prefect Tong irritably.

"With five thousand elite soldiers, it won't be a problem to defeat the rebels."

Why is a small civil servant asking so many questions? He can't help at all.

The rebels are in Pinghe City. He will rest for a night and then attack them directly tomorrow morning to catch the rebels off guard.

"Five...five thousand elite soldiers!?"

Prefect Tong looked at Dong Wenfeng in disbelief.

Five thousand elite soldiers are fighting against three hundred thousand rebels. Are they thinking that the official road the rebels take is too bumpy and are rushing to fill it up?

He thought that Emperor Wu of Liang was going to do something big and directly deploy an army of 300,000 to crush the rebels.

Who knew that Emperor Wu of Liang would give him a big shit and send five thousand elite soldiers to die.

Although the rebels are composed of refugees, their fighting power is certainly not as good as that of regular troops, let alone elite soldiers.

But even if the rebels are not as good as elite soldiers, they can't use 5,000 people to fight 300,000 people.

What's the difference between this and hitting a rock with an egg?

Dong Wenfeng looked at the stunned Tong Zhifu with a hint of ridicule on his face.

"This general can defeat the rebels by himself, so bringing these elite soldiers is unnecessary."

"Master Tong, please lead the way quickly. Let's take a break and defeat the rebels as soon as possible."

He was a civil servant after all, and he was stunned by a mere 5,000 elite soldiers.

One elite soldier is worth 10 soldiers defending the city, so it is understandable that Governor Tong was shocked.

It is impossible for all the rebels of the Xiao family to come here, and the Xiao family cannot just ignore the Xiliang border.

Therefore, he guessed that the Xiao family had sent at most 10,000 private soldiers to attack.

After all, there is a drought across the country now and the military strength is not as strong as before. The Xiao family is trying to take advantage of the situation.

Think beautiful!

It's not so easy for him to get through this stage.

The corners of Magistrate Tong's mouth twitched twice. He looked at Dong Wenfeng's arrogant look in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It’s strange, Dong Wenfeng wasn’t so arrogant before.

The Xiao family was brought down by Emperor Wu of Liang, which actually boosted Dong Wenfeng's arrogance.

Tong Zhifu looked at Dong Wenfeng's face full of disdain and impatience, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

".......good!"

Dong Wenfeng looked at Prefect Tong who turned around and walked away slowly, and rolled his eyes in anger.

He kicked the horse's belly, took two steps forward and grabbed Tong Zhifu.

"Guide the way!"

Dong Wenfeng's cold voice rang in the ears of the frightened Tong Zhifu.
