Perhaps seeing that the man in green, Feng Shi, didn't say anything, the man in white seemed to ponder for a moment, and looked at the frail Feng Shi with a hint of respect in his eyes: "What should we do with our family in Jinling City and the people we have cultivated over the years!"
"Shangxian County? Capital City, just because this is Shangxian County! Even if some people are eyeing it, there will be more opportunities!" Feng Shi said quietly, and suddenly his eyes flashed through the slits of his eyes, as if he remembered something.
Then his face became moved for the first time, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "A certain family understands that the young master is so dangerous because he is not afraid of the court and makes his existence known to others!"
"In the name of Wulong Village!" The man in white, Jiu San, almost lost his voice at the same time, and said it in unison. He and Feng Shi looked at each other for a moment, with a look of horror in their eyes: "Young Master wants to be apart from the fairy, The name of Independent Wulong Village,,,,,,"
Outside, there was the sound of the watchman desperately shouting for water, and the sound of gongs was even more disturbing at this night.
The horse quickly passed the order in the city, and the governor Shi Leid and the defense commander Shen Ba jointly issued a notice.
Because of a fire in Xicang Camp, the four gates of Liaocheng Mansion were ordered to be closed to prevent refugees and horse bandits from flooding into the city. Those who are not idle fire fighters in the West City area are not allowed to watch and block roads when they go home immediately. If anyone is found to disturb people's hearts, they will be killed without mercy until the matter at Xicang Camp is over.
Of course, when the people in the city heard the news, except for some strong laborers, one or two from each family came out under the leadership of the village chief, and the rest all returned one after another. Even those who were brave and wanted to watch the excitement had no idea after seeing soldiers taking to the streets.
Things seemed to be going on in an orderly manner here. What many people didn't know was that the military camp outside the city was also preparing to come to Liaocheng Mansion to put out the fire under the arrangements of the general after receiving the Tiger Talisman order from the defense envoy. The Xicheng Camp was not only involved in court supplies, but it was also where the supplies for the Northern Expedition were stored. The defense commander ordered everyone to come and put out the fire, but no one thought much about it. What's more, when there is no war, you may be promoted because you are fighting fires. Who doesn't want to show this kind of good thing?
Everyone didn't even wear armor, and they didn't even bring weapons. So they hurried to Ximen under the leadership of the general. Naturally, there were people at the west gate to respond, because the city gate had been closed. At this moment, I saw soldiers wearing only thin clothes below the city. The people on the city tower ordered everyone to gather and line up to enter the city.
Although everyone came to put out the fire, after all, there was a garrison camp, so the general meeting still had to be arranged routinely, and soldiers were left on duty in the barracks. There were less than a hundred people left in the barracks outside the city tonight, and everyone took it for granted. After all, the materials in the Xicang Camp were damaged, and all the people in Liaocheng Prefecture were in danger.
Looking at the soldiers marching into the city, Ji Hongchang had a smile on his face. He glanced at the young man named Ye Zhu next to him and said quietly: "How's it going over there at Blue Wolf?"
"Don't worry, Wolf King. Blue Wolf has made arrangements, and all the brothers have been arranged to join the army." Ye Zhen looked at the soldiers trotting into the city, and suddenly whispered: "Wolf King, really let it go." Them!" His voice was trembling.
Looking at the expectant eyes in front of him, Ji Hongchang deeply understood what he was shouldering, and said in a deep voice: "They are just like us. What's more, killing can't solve the problem now. In the future, we will only have to look at our people to take care of their hearts!"
"Thank you, Wolf King, for your teaching!" Ye Zhu raised his hands in a military salute.
Of course, they had just wiped out the prestige of the Tang State. If chaos breaks out in the Central Plains, the Tang State might rise again.
That's why Liu Jixing decided to give him the option to add a little trouble to Guo Rong when he was marching north. Ji Hongchang didn't know the real and specific reason, he just executed it. And Ji Hongchang now has the greatest confidence that his access to information and resources are much faster than that of the Zhou Dynasty court.
In this way, if you occupy Liaocheng Mansion. Even if Guo Rong found something wrong and sent people to encircle and suppress him. Now I have enough time to disperse and escape. This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is also a disguised way of preserving strength.
Of course, if there was no encirclement and suppression, Ji Hongchang could develop his power as much as he wanted. This is Ji Hongchang's greatest strength, and also his greatest pride since he found out the details of the Zhou Kingdom.
Originally, with Ji Hongchang's thoughts and character, since he occupied Liaocheng Mansion, there was no reason to quit easily. But Liu Jixing told him a reason, because the dispersion is not an escape but a strategy.
If Liaocheng Prefecture cannot hold on, it will disperse its power. As long as the Central Plains court feels like a bone spur in its throat, it will be the greatest success of Ji Hongchang's team. Because it hinders the development of the Central Plains, it means that Liu Jixing has a better chance of winning in the Central Plains' struggle for hegemony.
Taking the first successful step is to pave the way for the second step in the future.
The first step is naturally the basis of the plan. Since the first step has achieved results, it is natural to hope that the second step can be smoothly extended.
Reality is often crueler than ideals and plans. Although this first time went smoothly and there was not much risk, how can we consolidate this rare achievement?
This is what Ji Hongchang is most concerned about!
If Ji Hongchang was simply planning it himself, he would definitely not act like this. Because to seize Liaocheng Prefecture and then occupy it as a base is to put yourself in a situation of death and survive.
Liaocheng Prefecture is not another place, it is a state capital extending in all directions. Not only can you go to sea quickly, but you also have the convenience of the Grand Canal, and of course the smooth land route. Such a developed gateway and hub is both a good thing and a bad thing now.
Because if it were in peacetime, it would be a good thing here, but in this era of war, it is entirely possible that it would immediately become a cannon fodder.
Because Liaocheng Prefecture is surrounded by the Central Plains state capitals, as the state capital in the center of the Central Plains vassal town, if it wants to quell the chaos, it will be attacked from all directions. Therefore, the purpose of luring these soldiers into the city was to detain them all.
According to the wishes of Ji Hongchang's men, it was natural to kill them all. But Ji Hongchang thought about the future. If these people could be detained and then slowly trained, they would be a huge force that cannot be ignored.
Ji Hongchang dares to take risks, and he is not stupid!
These soldiers are all ordinary people, and it is not easy for anyone. One thing he understood was that Liu Jixing had told him a story. After listening to this story, he deeply understood that the people are the most powerful force of a political power!
Therefore, Ji Hongchang believes that only by relying on the people and the power of the people can a political power last long!
