The county guard frowned, but he still extended his hand to introduce Ying Xuan.
"This is the Censor sent by His Majesty to capture the Yue mastermind in this rebellion!"
When the county captain heard this, he felt unhappy and sneered.
"In the final analysis, we just wait for the soldiers to work hard to get the credit!"
"It's a pity that you came at the wrong time this time. You should have come later! Wait until both of us are almost dead before you show up!"
Ying Xuan frowned. It seemed that his status as censor made them very hostile!
He ignored the county captain and turned to look at the prime minister and the captain on the side.
"How is Shouchun doing now? Is there any way to feign an attack and find an opportunity to enter the city and behead him?"
The prime minister and the captain were not as bold as the county captain in mocking the censor, so they could only salute and say.
"It's almost impossible! Every one of the people in Shouchun City is like crazy, even more desperate than the soldiers!"
"We attacked the city several times, but they were beaten down without fear of death. We couldn't even get to the top of the city."
The captain followed.
"Even if we can go up, we still have to face heavily armed private troops. Those are the main forces of the rebellion!"
"With the current strength of the troops, it is impossible to rush into the city unless all the soldiers are killed or injured. But Shouchun City is so big, and it is almost impossible to behead people accurately without someone to lead the way!"
"Even if we rush in, we will end up being beaten to death! At this moment, we should stabilize the morale of the army and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court!"
Seeing them all trying to persuade him like this, Ying Xuan frowned.
Zhang Liang could not wait for any reinforcements.
At this time the Sheriff interrupted with a smile.
"Didn't the censor just say that the food and grass problem can be solved?"
"If the Censor can really solve the problem and help us stabilize the morale of the army! Then even if we fight to the death for the Censor to have a chance to invade the city, there is nothing wrong!"
Ying Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the governor with a stern expression!
"Do you know that everything you say in front of me is a military order, and if you violate military law, you will be punished!"
The governor's smile suddenly stiffened. These words were like a military order, but he still laughed sarcastically.
"Don't worry, Censor! What we say must be true!"
Ying Xuan didn't hesitate at all when he heard the words, left a word and turned around to leave.
"Send someone with the army who knows the way!"
After Ying Xuan left, in the Chinese army camp, the county captain complained.
"Why are you telling him this!"
The county guard waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I just found a reason to tell him not to cause trouble. Who knew he would take it seriously!"
The lieutenant sighed.
"You are harming him! Our thousands of generals led a team of thousands of people to pick up grain and grass, but they were frequently harassed on the way. By the time a hundred stones of grain arrived at the camp, there was not much left, and the soldiers were also injured a lot!"
"With just his two hundred men, I'm afraid they won't even be able to fill the gap between his teeth! A few hours of wheel fighting will make him go away with no return!"
The county guard felt a little guilty but still said.
"It doesn't matter. A big man like this is very precious about his life. He will definitely run fast when the time comes. After suffering once, he will not dare to intervene in the command again. Otherwise, if he becomes interested and asks you to attack the city tomorrow, will you attack?"
Although the county lieutenant knew this, he still believed that doing so was against his conscience, and if Ying Xuan was tricked to death, the two of them would be held responsible.
However, the county guard believed that this was a battlefield, even if Ying Xuan died because of it, he was still incompetent and could not blame him!
The Prime Minister and the Captain on the side sighed secretly, not having the slightest hope for Ying Xuan's trip. He would be lucky to come back alive!
Here Ying Xuan walked back to the Forbidden Army tent. Looking at the people who were already in high spirits, he was not worried at all about whether he could bring back food. The only worry was that time was too tight. How could he enter the city without reinforcements?
You can't really expect the county governor to lead these 30,000 people to fill the moat with their lives to buy themselves time!
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, so Ying Xuan shouted.
"Assemble! In an instant, the Imperial Guards who had just finished eating arrived in front of us uniformly."
Not a word of nonsense was said during the whole process, and the equipment, swords and crossbows, and armor and helmets were checked.
Then they got up and mounted their horses together, and the two hundred people were restrained to the extreme!
This scene happened to be seen by the county lieutenant who came out of the camp to get some air, and his face suddenly showed surprise.
Under the light of the fire, he also saw that the black armor on these people had two layers, inside and outside, as if there were lines on it!
Before he could see clearly, Ying Xuan got on his horse and led everyone out of the military camp.
Confused, he returned to the camp and asked the governor again.
"Who is the censor?"
Unexpectedly, the county guard didn't know either, so he casually said something perfunctory and continued to study which counties the imperial court would send to support. The closest ones now are Hengshan County and Lujiang County.
But even if they arrived, it would probably take them several days, and I simply couldn't wait!
…
Under the leadership of a corps leader, Ying Xuan and his party galloped towards Anfeng County in the southwest, which was the nearest county seat!
The corps leader was very reluctant at first, thinking that leading the way for Ying Xuan's two hundred people to raise food was a near-death mission.
But with Ying Xuan's promise worth one gold, he couldn't help but be moved.
"These rebel bandits scattered throughout Jiujiang County are very smart. There are not many of them, a group of only a hundred people. They are all locals who are very familiar with their surroundings. It seems that they were specially established to block the army's food and grass."
"Except for grain and grass, other civilian traders, and even scouts passing by to investigate, they didn't pay any attention to!"
"Last time our county guard got angry and sent thousands of generals to escort him, but seven or eight groups of these bandits destroyed most of the food and grass without fear of death! They couldn't bring back much at all!"
Wu Zhang reminded Ying Xuan seriously.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Although they don't have the fighting power of regular soldiers, they are unique in ambush and sneak attacks!"
"Don't worry about them on the way there. You need to be careful when you come back with food and grass!"
"When we arrived in Anfeng County, we collected food and grass, and then we waited until dawn and headed back."
"Send someone to notify the army on the way to support them. Not to mention bringing them all back, as long as they can protect a few and a half, the army can hold on for a few more days, which is enough to wait for reinforcements!"
Ying Xuan nodded, and Wu Zhang felt relieved when he saw that Ying Xuan had listened. As long as he listened to the advice, it would be safe!
He looked at the team of two hundred people running in a triangle. The people on both sides were constantly changing their formations, ready to guard against dangers appearing in all directions.
This scene shocked him a little. He had never seen such well-trained soldiers in the army.
Said something subconsciously.
"Don't be so tired when you go there, they won't pay attention to us!"
But at this moment, Zhang Han suddenly reminded Ying Xuan seriously to look to the left!
Commander Wu followed Ying Xuan and saw only a small forest.
On top of a small mound in the forest, there was a dove that kept flapping its wings.
Ying Xuan is very familiar with this pigeon!
The next second, he pulled the reins to slow down and turn, and all the soldiers followed him!
Only the corps commander was left behind with a puzzled expression on his face.
Then he saw everyone stop their horses and suddenly raise their crossbows high.
