After Chang Gong left, Xiao Jing sat there, frowning and thinking for a while.
He was really undecided about whether to send troops or not, so he turned around and ordered his guards to summon his "dog-headed military advisor" Deng Ren! .
After Deng Ren arrived, Xiao Jing described the incident again, and then asked: "Commander Deng, will you send troops?"
Hearing this, Deng Ren smiled and shook his head: "Don't you already have the answer to this matter?!"
Without waiting for Xiao Jing to answer, he thought to himself:
"Since Shanwu City secretly sent people to ask for help, it means that the situation in Shanwu City has become dangerous to a certain extent. Logically speaking, with the defense of Shanwu City, it is difficult for the poorly equipped Yellow Turbans to capture it. There is a high probability that the inside of Shanwu City is something is wrong……"
"As for Chang Gong, I have long heard that he is a capable minister, but the reason why he is famous is because he is the confidant of Shanwu County Magistrate..."
"And in Shanwu County, it is common knowledge that Magistrate Liu and County Lieutenant Zhao are not getting along. Now that Chang Gong has come here in secret, I am afraid that County Lieutenant Zhao is responsible for the unrest in Shanwu City..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing suddenly remembered that when he wiped out a group of bandits before, he seemed to have captured a Zhao family token and a blueprint of the Yellow Turban barracks.
It seems that the Zhao family is really responsible for the accident in Shanwu City.
"I didn't expect that the Zhao family actually colluded with the Yellow Turbans?!" Xiao Jing touched her chin and thought to herself.
"Zhao and Liu are both dirty, so we can just take the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When the Yellow Turbans capture Shanwu and Magistrate Liu is killed in battle, we hold high the name of 'revenge' and call on the towns to take back Shanwu City... …”
Seeing that Xiao Jing had listened, Deng Ren continued, his tone a little excited.
According to his speculation, the change in Shanwucheng was a great opportunity for him or Xiao Jing, and it was the best time to take control of Shanwucheng.
After calming down his inner excitement, Deng Ren continued, "This time we can agree to Chang Gong's request for help, but it is up to us to decide when to send out troops..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing's face showed a hint of joy and said: "Great kindness!"
He understood what Deng Ren meant. It was nothing more than 'delaying' until the best time to send troops!
The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Then, Deng Ren seemed to have thought of something and reminded:
"But my lord, Shanwu City has high walls. If we want to make a plan, we need to make preparations early and send some spies first..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing smiled and waved his hand, "I already know about this and will arrange spies to enter Shanwu City soon!"
"good!!!"
…
To the east of Daliu Town, Tushi Village.
At this moment, Tushi Village is in danger. Outside the wooden fence, more than twenty yellow scarves holding swords and guns stared fiercely at the villagers in the village.
"Everyone inside listens, open the door quickly, I will spare your life!"
"Otherwise..." As he said that, the yellow scarf leader pointed the tip of his sword at Xiang Yong, whose body was separated on the ground not far away, and smiled coldly, "That will be the end!"
The head of Tushi Village is an old man named Qin, who is highly respected, so all the villagers trust him.
Mr. Qin looked at the ferocious yellow scarf outside the village, took a deep breath, and shouted coldly: "You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that Master Xiao will lead an army to wipe you out?"
"Master Xiao is the 'chief of the best village in the world'. He has countless elite soldiers and generals. He can wipe you out with a wave of his hand. Do you dare to touch us?!"
Mr. Qin said sternly, the fox pretended to be the tiger's power and pulled up the flute Jinghu's skin!
At first glance, the Yellow Turban leader was really caught up in Old Qin's words. There was a trace of fear on his face and he looked around nervously.
After finding nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
We can't blame the Yellow Turban leader for being timid. Xiao Jing's previous record of 300 wins and 3,000 wins was really too scary.
The Yellow Turbans who had escaped from the Battle of Da Liu Town were frightened to death, and they described the power of Xiao Jing's army to the Yellow Turbans with nonsense words.
As a result, many yellow scarfs became a little scared when they heard Xiao Jing!
Seeing that there was nothing going on around him, the yellow scarf leader reacted with a hint of shame and anger on his face. He was actually intimidated by an old man.
"Old man, how dare you play tricks on me!"
"court death!!!"
In anger, the Yellow Turban leader no longer cared about Mr. Xiao or Mr. Xiao, and directly ordered a strong attack!
"Village Chief, Village Chief, what should we do now?"
Seeing the wooden fence crumbling under the strong attack of the Yellow Turbans, the villagers of Tushi Village showed a trace of panic and despair in their eyes.
But at this moment, a loud voice suddenly shouted, "Yellow turban thieves! You are seeking death!!"
At a glance, Xu Tai, who was sent to escort tax revenue and relocate people, arrived in time with his army.
"It's Mr. Xiao's reinforcements!!"
"Master Xiao has sent someone to rescue us! Great, I knew Master Xiao would not leave us alone! Long live Master Xiao!!"
Tushi Village burst into cheers.
The Yellow Turban bandits were in a panic. When the Yellow Turban leader saw Xu Tai full of murderous intent, he ran away without even looking back!
"Want to escape?"
Xu Tai snorted coldly, took out the Huang Jialiang bow given by Xiao Jing from his back, drew the bow and set an arrow!
call out! ! !
The leader of the Yellow Turban was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground!
"That's it?! How dare you invade the lord's rule!" Xu Tai said coldly with disdain!
"Everyone, chase the Yellow Turbans and make sure not to let anyone go!"
Xu Tai turned his head and gave instructions to Da Liu Zhen Xiangyong behind him who was eager to try.
"yes!!"
After Da Liu Zhen Xiangyong said respectfully, he scattered to pursue the Yellow Turbans.
"Qin Yunqi, the head of Tushi Village, thank you general for saving your life!"
Qin Yunqi hurriedly ordered the villagers to open the village gate and welcome Xu Tai into the village.
When Xu Tai saw Qin Yunqi being so respectful, he didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and said:
"It's a small matter, don't worry about it! As a subordinate of Da Liu Town, you should be protected by the lord, no need to thank you!"
Qin Yunqi welcomed Xu Tai to the center of the village and town. After ordering someone to bring tea, he was still grateful after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Although we are ordinary people, we still know how to be grateful."
"Now that there is a severe drought, Mayor Xiao not only did not increase taxes, but also lowered the tax rate. If it weren't for Mayor Xiao's kindness, how could we survive!"
"What's more, Mayor Xiao also sent General Zhou to lead the army to patrol the territory of Daliu Town, which made those Yellow Turbans wary and did not dare to invade. This is why our small earth and stone village was able to survive..."
After saying that, Qin Yun picked up the tea and seemed to sigh:
"The Yellow Turbans are making such a big fuss. Two days ago, the mud-tile village under Xiaohezhuang was attacked by the Yellow Turbans. No villagers in the village survived. The men were okay, but they died. I pity the women. Alas, that miserable situation... "
After sighing, Qin Yunqi showed a hint of apology on his wrinkled face.
"I'm old, but it makes General Xu laugh. General Xu probably wants to pay taxes. I have already prepared the taxes for Tushi Village. You see..."
Xu Tai shook his head and saw Qin Yunqi showing confusion and explained:
"Not just for tax purposes, my lord is feeling the increasingly serious Yellow Turban situation and wants to relocate the villagers of Tushi and Qinghe Villages to Huangshan Village. Do you have any objections to this?"
When Qin Yunqi heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded his head like a chicken.
"Master Xiao, Shengming, I have no objection, of course I have no objection! Not only do I have no objection, but that old bastard from Qinghe Village definitely doesn't have any objection either."
"To be honest, sir, we have been living a very frightening life these days..."
He really meant what he said. During this time, the Yellow Turbans were raging, which frightened their village, for fear that the Yellow Turbans would invade.
What's more, even though he is just a village chief, he is well-informed. After all, who doesn't have relatives in or outside the village?
One of his nephews who worked in Huangshan Village sent him a message. During this period, Huangshan Village had cultivated a large number of grain fields. In the future, these grain fields might be distributed to "meritorious" people. Who wouldn't be jealous?
To be honest, during this period, many people from Tushi Village and Qinghe Village have fled to Huangshan Village. He is well aware of this, but he just turns a blind eye!
"Okay, now you inform the village chief of Qinghe Village to pack your belongings. After packing, I will escort you to Huangshan Village!!"
