The best ring

The huge procession from Qingyuan County City attracted great attention from the refugees outside the city. Everyone put down their work, stood still, and watched the procession leave.

"Are we going to war?"

"Of course, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big battle, with so many people."

"Look! That's Lord Wu! Lord Wu is leading the troops to war!"

"Lord Wu is kind-hearted, God bless Lord Wu."

"Pooh! How can Lord Wu be in trouble! Those rebels are just a group of ants in front of Lord Wu, Lord Wu will be fine."

"I hope Lord Wu can kill all those rebels and bring peace to our Qingyuan County!"

The refugees looked at the expeditionary team and talked in groups of three or five. Because Wu Fan often appeared in front of them, most of these refugees knew Wu Fan. When they saw Wu Fan personally leading the troops to war, they couldn't help but feel a little worried. At the same time, they also hoped that Wu Fan could win, so that their Qingyuan County would be more peaceful.

Outside the city, it was not just the refugees who watched Wu Fan and his companions go out. There were also several people with strange faces. They hid among the refugees and also watched Wu Fan and his companions leave.

"Send the news here to the commander immediately!" One of them looked at Wu Fan sitting on horseback and whispered to the person next to him.

The person next to him nodded, then hid in a corner, took out a pen and paper, and wrote some words crookedly. After writing, someone brought a carrier pigeon. The person who wrote rolled up the written note and put it on the pigeon's leg, and then released the pigeon.

The pigeon took off and flew away.

About ten minutes later, Ran Guang, who was hiding in a valley, caught the carrier pigeon and saw the note brought by the carrier pigeon.

"Wu Fan, you are here as expected!" Ran Guang looked at the content on the note and said to himself with murderous intent on his face.

The men with strange movements outside the city were Ran Guang's men. There were hundreds of thousands of refugees outside Qingyuan County, and it was too easy for a few rebel soldiers to sneak in. Wu Fan could not completely prevent this no matter how he took precautions.

"Wu Fan, you really think highly of me this time. You actually dispatched all the troops except Xu Dashan and his men, ha!" Ran Guang said to himself coldly.

Ran Guang was not a fool. When Wu Fan was investigating his situation, he was also investigating Wu Fan's situation. Therefore, he knew very well the number of troops that Wu Fan could mobilize in Qingyuan County. Of course, this was not a secret. You could find out with a little inquiry.

According to the information reported by the spies he arranged outside Qingyuan County, Wu Fan brought everyone except Xu Dashan and his surrendered troops this time, which shows how determined Wu Fan was to destroy Ran Guang this time.

Ran Guang was not surprised, because when he was investigating the situation in the city, Ran Guang also knew about the imperial edict and knew that the old emperor had given Wu Fan limited time. Now that Wu Fan had discovered his whereabouts, he naturally wanted to annihilate him in one fell swoop.

As for why he didn't bring Xu Dashan's people, Ran Guang could fully understand.

After all, Xu Dashan was Ran Guang's man before, and he had just surrendered to Wu Fan. In Ran Guang's view, if he was fighting with other people, Wu Fan might still bring Xu Dashan, but now he was going to kill him, Wu Fan must have some concerns in his heart, fearing that Xu Dashan would turn against him in the face of the enemy, so it was normal not to bring Xu Dashan.

"Wu Fan, you want to kill me, but I want your city! If you are lucky enough to come back alive and see that the flag on the top of Qingyuan County has changed, I don't know what you will think. I think it will be very interesting!"

"Come on, assemble the team, target: Qingyuan County!"

With Ran Guang's order, the rebel soldiers who were originally resting around him stood up and lined up one after another, their movements were quite agile, and they were obviously different from ordinary rebels.

These people are indeed not ordinary rebels, but the elites under Ran Guang. They are not only well-equipped, but also trained by Ran Guang. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to the regular army of the imperial court.

Looking at the team that quickly stood up in front of him, Ran Guang's eyes flashed with pride. It was this team that made him one of the three major rebel forces around Qingyuan County, and Ran Guang also believed that with them, he could get more.

Qingyuan County is the first one!

"Let's go!"

At Ran Guang's order, the team headed towards Qingyuan County.

The place where Ran Guang and others were at this time was in the middle of Qingyuan County and the station that Tang San had discovered. The station that Tang San and Xu Dashan had discovered was indeed leaked by Ran Guang on purpose, as Wu Fan had expected. In order to make Xu Dashan, Tang Shan and Wu Fan behind him believe that he did station the team there, Ran Guang also deliberately moved around in that station.

Ran Guang deliberately disclosed his whereabouts, of course, for a purpose, his purpose is Wu Fan and Qingyuan County!

Ran Guang knew very well that after Wu Fan knew his whereabouts, he would definitely come to fight him. Having learned from the last lesson, Ran Guang did not rashly withdraw the troops this time, but kept his rebels with low combat effectiveness in the garrison to continue to attract Wu Fan and others to come, and he himself took the elite team and stationed in other places.

If Wu Fan brought few people this time like last time, then Ran Guang would immediately lead his troops to kill Wu Fan, and the soldiers in the garrison should do what they want, and kill Wu Fan.

If Wu Fan brought more troops, then he would take Qingyuan County as the target and lead the elite to attack Qingyuan County instead of fighting Wu Fan head-on. Of course, he also had arrangements for the garrison, and even if he didn't go back, he wouldn't let Wu Fan have a good time.

Of course, if Wu Fan didn't come in person, Ran Guang would make changes according to the actual situation. Anyway, in Ran Guang's view, everything was under his control and the initiative was completely in his hands.

Who let the old emperor only give Wu Fan a month? Ran Guang took advantage of Wu Fan's anxious psychology and arranged this action.

Wu Fan and Ran Guang's two teams went in completely opposite directions. Of course, in order to avoid meeting Wu Fan's team halfway, Ran Guang also deliberately chose to take other roads. He wanted to kill Wu Fan, but he didn't want to fight hard. If his team suffered too much loss, then even if he killed Wu Fan and took down Qingyuan County, he couldn't defend it. He knew this very well.

The two teams marched at about the same speed, so when Ran Guang led his elite troops to the outskirts of Qingyuan County, Wu Fan and his team had already walked almost half the distance.

When they were halfway there, Wu Fan suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"Everyone, stop!"
