When Wu Nian came to the county government, the door was closed.
"The mantis is trying to make a chariot without overestimating its own capabilities." Wu Nian was very angry today, with contempt and coldness in his eyes.
However, Wu Nian still held back. He hated Jiang Gan even more for being such a person. He said: "Attack in. Pull out the county magistrate and kill him. Forget about the women, wives and children."
"Yes." The accompanying Baihu responded immediately and led the people over the wall and rushed in. Soon after, screams broke out one after another in the county government office.
Then the door was opened, and an old man who was over fifty years old, with gray hair and very well-dressed, was dragged out in embarrassment by a strong soldier.
"General, General, spare your life." The old man glanced at Wu Nian and begged for mercy in a trembling voice.
With a "click", a soldier raised his knife and chopped off the old man's head. The head rolled down to Wu Nian's feet.
Wu Nianfei kicked the head away and cursed: "I spared you, who will spare me?"
Immediately, Wu Nian sent troops to capture and kill the county magistrate. After the soldiers cleared out the county government office, he walked into the county government office, took off his armor in the main room, treated his injuries, and sat down to wait.
At this time, Wu Nian couldn't hold on anymore, his eyelids were fighting and he was drowsy. But there are some things that haven't been dealt with yet.
He can't sleep.
"Da da da." A sound of footsteps woke Wu Nian up. His eyes lit up and he looked up at the door. Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng walked in from the outside holding the hilts of knives on their waists.
"General, the city gate has been controlled. However, Captain Qian Zhengguang saw that the situation was not good and ran away with a few close followers and family members."
Wang Gui's face showed a look of hatred, and he bowed and said. He and Zhang Sheng divided their forces to attack the other two city walls, but they also suffered considerable damage.
Seeing the huge casualties among the soldiers, he felt heartbroken.
"It's an advantage for him." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Don't worry about him. Have you killed all the centurions and ten-centurions in the army?" Wu Nian asked.
"He has been killed, and his head is hanging on the city wall." Wang Gui showed a sinister smile.
"Okay. Make a statement. You immediately send troops to warehouses, granaries, and arsenals to collect carts in the city. Load the gold, silver, grain, and military supplies onto the carts."
"Divide the troops to guard the four walls, take care of the wounded soldiers, and collect the corpses. This time we have time, so we have to bury the dead soldiers."
"The guard adopts a rotation system. Let the soldiers who have no mission go to sleep immediately."
Wu Nian nodded, turned to look at Zhang Sheng, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhang Sheng didn't say anything, he just responded with his fists clasped, turned around and left.
"Brother, go and bring the officials of this city here." Wu Nian turned to Wang Gui and said.
"Yes." Wang Gui responded with his fists clasped, turned and left.
Wu Nian's thousands of troops went about their own business in an orderly manner. He did not want to occupy the city. While collecting food and grass, he still followed the old routine and took away the Han people who were willing to leave with him.
Not forced.
But the soldiers of tens of thousands of Han households are not included in this list. The prisoners were tied up and taken away by force. This group of people has fighting power and should not be underestimated.
It should not be returned to the Mongolian people.
If these soldiers are local soldiers, they can also forcibly take their family members with them. Families are tied to people.
"You have to stay up late." After Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui left, their newly invigorated spirits slumped again.
Wu Nian, a powerful general, could not sit up straight. Not only was he drowsy, but his whole body felt weak, and he wanted to collapse on the Taishi chair.
And this Taishi chair is so comfortable.
Wu Nian smiled bitterly, his eyelids continuing to fight, fighting against sleep.
Waited for a long time. Amidst a burst of chaotic footsteps, Wu Nian woke up again, and his limp posture was straightened again.
He straightened his chest and back, held his head high and moved forward, his eyes gleaming.
Wang Gui came in with a group of well-dressed men. They were all trembling, their faces were pale, and they were a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry. As long as you do as I say, I won't kill you." Wu Nian said coldly.
Senhan's tone, coupled with his sitting posture, his aura, and his reputation as a powerful figure in Liaodong, immediately made the junior officials nod their heads.
"General, just give us your orders." A white-haired old official said tremblingly.
"You command the government officials. Beat gongs and drums in the city and shout along the streets. Let's say that Wu Nian, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, has entered the city. Recruit people with lofty ideals to fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty with me. I will repair in the city all night, and tomorrow I will send troops to attack Yacheng. Let those with lofty ideals be prepared.”
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
Wang Gui's expression changed slightly.
"Yes." The old official bowed in response very smoothly.
"Go down." Wu Nian waved his right hand, his expression softening slightly.
"Yes." The minor officials responded tremblingly, turned around and left.
"General. Are you spreading rumors? You said you were going to attack Yacheng. But is there another purpose?" After everyone had left, Wang Gui came to sit next to Wu Nian and asked in a low voice.
Although the men and horses were damaged, the food problem was solved. He also defeated the soldiers of two thousand commanders of thousands of Han households, and killed Jiang Gandang in formation.
It can even take away part of the population, gold and silver.
Their purpose was fully achieved. What we have to do now is to travel through the mountains and return to Beishan Fort safely under the watchful eyes of the nearby Meng Yuan soldiers and horses.
Now Wu Nian told these officials that his next move was to attack Yacheng.
Word will surely spread.
It must be a plan to attack the east and attack the west.
I claimed that I wanted to attack Ya City, but in fact I didn't attack Ya City at all.
After Wu Nian's plan to build the plank road openly and covertly to destroy Chencang. The army's departure from Yacheng was actually a rush march to attack Chong County.
Wang Gui felt that he had guessed Wu Nian's thoughts.
"No. This time I really want to go to Yacheng. As for whether to attack, it depends on whether Yacheng is prepared."
"After my plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, Wan Yanxian, Jin Ruiyun and others must be suspicious. If I tell the truth, they may not believe it."
"We may have relaxed our vigilance against Yacheng and strengthened our vigilance in other counties. The large group of troops also directly abandoned the direction of Yacheng and headed straight towards Chongxian County."
"Didn't they fail again?"
Wu Nian's eyes and face were full of smiles, and he was smiling everywhere.
Surprise means keeping the enemy from guessing.
I claimed to attack Yacheng, but in fact I really wanted to go to Yacheng.
True and false.
Let the four thousand households in Meng Yuan worry about it. Anyway, now I can run, fight, and attack cities. Walking around in the deep mountains and old forests, I am not afraid at all.
Just take advantage of every opportunity.
Wang Gui was stunned when he heard this. Is it true?
But when he thought about it carefully, he became convinced. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Wu Nian looked at Wang Gui. He was clean. He probably did not participate in the battle directly, but his haggard appearance and two big dark circles under his eyes were particularly eye-catching.
"Brother, you also go down to detoxify, take a shower, and go to bed. Chongxian is fine, don't worry." Wu Nian said in a softer voice.
"Okay." Wang Gui couldn't hold it anymore, smiled and nodded, and then went down to find a house in the county government office to rest.
Wu Nian couldn't bear it, so he didn't even need to take a shower. He directly found a room, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
There are still 40,000 households to deal with, so we have to keep our spirits up.
Sufficiently nourished.
