Two days later, the leader, Nie Chen and other leaders of Qingfeng Village gathered in Juyi Hall to listen to Qi Huan's report.
"I would like to report to the two masters. According to reports from secret agents in the county, the county guard Liu Hu transferred 5,000 people from Guiling Pass to cooperate with the county's 10,000 troops. A total of 15,000 troops were marched towards our Qingshui County. Bian is coming, and their target should be our Qingfeng Village.
It is expected to reach us within three days. "
"Fifteen thousand people, it's really a tough battle."
The headmaster smiled and said,
"But don't be afraid. We now have an army of 8,000 in Qingfeng Village. The mountain road is difficult to travel, and even his 15,000 people can't attack them. Our 8,000 people are enough to resist them."
"Hahaha, if the county guard dares to come, my old horse will take the lead and kill him without leaving a trace!"
Ma Niu Ai laughed loudly and dismissed the county guard's army.
The other leaders were also nonchalant. Nowadays, Qingfeng Village is well-stocked with soldiers and overcrowded. The entire village is about to be overcrowded. There are elite troops inside, so there is no need to worry about enemy attacks.
Qi Huan continued,
"Second Master, we have found out before that Liu Jia is now living in the Sheriff's Mansion. Before, the Sheriff's Mansion was heavily guarded and it was difficult to attack. Now that the Sheriff is leading troops to go on an expedition, the guards in the Sheriff's Mansion must be empty. Should we take advantage of this? Taking this opportunity, let the brothers of the Shadow Guard go in and assassinate Liu Jia?"
Hearing this, Nie Chen touched his chin and muttered,
"This is indeed a rare and good opportunity, but didn't you say that there is a prince in the county governor's mansion now? That prince should have brought a lot of guards, and he probably has a lot of guards covertly and covertly. After all, he is a prince.
Liu Jia also secretly trained a killer. Wherever she goes, she will be taken there. Even though there are not many guards in the county guard's mansion, there are still many eyes watching secretly.
It's better not to assassinate him. I'm not in a hurry for revenge. The safety of my brothers is the most important thing. "
"But, isn't this what we, the Shadow Guards, trained us to do? How can we back down just because of difficulties?"
Qi Huan frowned.
Nie Chen smiled and waved his hand and said,
"Don't think so. At all times, you must put your own safety first. You may not be afraid of death, but don't make unnecessary sacrifices.
Remember, the most important job of the Shadow Guard is intelligence, not assassination. You can only do intelligence if you are alive. It is not easy to infiltrate some people into the county government, so don't sacrifice yourself in vain. "
"I understand. Thank you to the Second Master for your concern. However, I still want to give it a try. First I will send someone to investigate the situation in the governor's house in detail. If it is really impossible to do, then I won't do it."
"Okay, you can figure it out."
Nie Chen stood up and walked to the sand table in the middle of Juyi Hall, which had a simulated terrain of Qingfeng Village and surrounding peaks.
He pointed to the peaks around Qingfeng Village on the sand table and said,
"Master, this road is the only way from the official road to our Qingfeng Village. I think we should not be passively beaten all the time. We are always beaten at the door, which will affect our business.
We can first lay an ambush on this hilltop, consume the enemy's effective strength by rolling logs and stones, and attract the enemy's main force to pursue them. Then the cavalry will go around the end of the opponent's army and attack the baggage camp and the grain and grass camp.
Burn their baggage and food and grass. Without the trebuchet and food and grass, they will not be able to attack our Qingfeng Village. By then, they will collapse without a fight. "
The headmaster nodded and said with a smile,
"What a great idea. You now look like a commander and know how to fight."
Nie Chen smiled and was about to speak when a shout suddenly came from outside.
"Report!"
A shadow guard quickly ran in, knelt down on one knee and reported,
"Reporting to the two masters, the barbarians suddenly sent troops to attack Qingshui County. The county is in danger!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and stood up one after another.
The headmaster frowned and said,
"What is the situation, please explain clearly."
"Master, the barbarians suddenly sent troops. The vast sea of people, tens of thousands of them, launched a fierce attack on Qingshui County."
"What's the banner? Which tribe is it from?"
"It's the begging department!"
The headmaster frowned and said,
"Why did the Qingyan tribe suddenly attack Qingshui County? Aren't they usually active in the northern part of King Pingxi's territory? Why did they come to our side?"
Wang Hao said nervously,
"Master, there are only two or three hundred defenders in the county. It is impossible to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops. At this time, the county may have fallen. Let's go there and rescue them as soon as possible."
Wang Hao used to be the guard of Qingshui County, so he naturally cared about the people there.
Now that he had gone to Qingfeng Village and caused the fall of Qingshui County, he felt extremely guilty.
The headmaster immediately nodded and said,
"Okay, send troops and take back the county seat!"
"Hey, hey, wait a minute."
Seeing that the generals were about to send troops, Nie Chen quickly called out to them.
"What?"
The head master turned his head and frowned.
"What are you doing? It's not what I do, it's what you want to do. Barbarians attacking the city are none of our business. Why do we send troops? We are bandits, not officers and soldiers!"
Nie Chen was very puzzled by what the leader was doing.
The boss said,
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are bandits, but we also have elite troops. Since we have power, we have the responsibility to protect the safety of the people.
The barbarians are brutal, and they always kill people after breaking the city. Don't you know how the people in the county are being killed now?
How can we sit back and watch? "
"No, retaking the city to protect the people is a matter for the government and the army. Now Liu Hu is coming to attack us with an army of 15,000 people. How can we spread our strength to fight the barbarians?
We have a bloody encounter with the barbarians, and then let Liu Hu take advantage? Take advantage of the situation and destroy us? "
Nie Chen was really angry. He felt that the boss was too pedantic.
The boss smiled and said,
"Brothers are jealous of each other and stay outside the wall to resist their insults.
The conflict between us and Liu Hu is undeniable, and it is also our own business. We fight for life and death, and that is our internal conflict.
But our city of Dafeng and our people of Dafeng do not allow barbarian outsiders to bully us. "
"Then what if Liu Hu comes to attack us while we are fighting the barbarians?"
"He won't. The generals of Gale all know the principle of jointly defending against foreign enemies. Even if our two families want to fight, they will first drive away the barbarians before fighting.
I believe Liu Hu knows this truth, and he would not do such a thing. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen said angrily,
"I don't agree. Anyway, we can't place our heads on other people's character. If Liu Hu wants to attack us, we will be attacked from both sides, and we will be in a doomed end!"
