Looking at Mi Ling's retreating back, Wu Sheng licked his lips, with ferocity flashing in his eyes.
From the conversation between the two just now, he had roughly understood.
The information provided by the merchant last time was obviously not false, but deliberately conveyed wrong information.
With ulterior motives!
Deserve to kill!
"Azheng, this bastard won't cause any trouble again, will he?"
Looking at Wang Zheng, Wu Sheng couldn't help but say: "It's better to kill him with one knife to save money, so as not to cause trouble for us behind the scenes again."
"We can't kill this man for the time being."
Wang Zheng shook his head and rejected Wu Sheng's proposal without thinking:
"Although we are not as in urgent need of food rations and equipment as before, we are still not equipped with enough military, horse, clothing, and armor."
"I need this man and his caravan to be responsible for the inflow and outflow of resources for our Heavenly Army."
"Aren't there other trading houses in Guangrao County?" Wu Sheng asked in confusion. "Why do we have to look for him?"
"How do you know that changing to another one will be better?" Wang Zheng frowned and looked at Wu Sheng, and said in a deep voice: "Which of these merchants and landlords is not greedy?"
"They're all the same!"
"What's more, Mi Ling...or the Mi family, this line must be established first, and we can't completely break up for the time being."
Seeing Wu Sheng's puzzled face, Wang Zheng didn't bother to explain, so he just said:
"That's it for now. You go and prepare. If the people we send to Linzi haven't received the news within five days."
As he spoke, Wang Zheng looked into the distance with burning eyes:
"Just follow the original plan and march directly to Linzi!"
Wu Sheng nodded, turned around and strode out. When he was approaching the door, he saw Xu Fang walking in.
Before the other party spoke, Wang Zheng asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Xu Fang has a calm temperament, and ordinary things would not make him look so strange.
"General, the sentry outside the city captured a group of people..."
Glancing at Yu Jin, who was standing silently next to Wang Zheng, Xu Fang hesitated and hesitated, and did not say the next words for a long time.
It seems to be no small matter.
Yu Jin also reacted and was about to leave to avoid suspicion, but saw Wang Zheng already waving his hand directly:
“It’s okay to speak up.”
"No." Xu Fang gestured with his hand, and then started chatting: ""These people call themselves, they come to see the general in the name of Zhang Rao."
Wang Zheng was startled when he heard this, while Yu Jin's expression changed.
"Which Zhang Rao?"
Wu Sheng stopped and touched his head and asked in astonishment.
Before Xu Fang could answer, Wang Zheng understood the other party's intention, sneered and said calmly:
"Who else can be Zhang Rao?"
"You want to come pick peaches with me..."
He walked in front of the window, stood proudly with his hands behind his hands, and stared at the sun setting in the west at the afterglow of dusk:
"Of course it's our former handsome guy."
There was both contempt and disdain in his words, as well as cold and murderous intent.
.....
Linzi.
At this time, people in the entire city were spreading various rumors.
The protagonist is naturally Wang Zheng and his heavenly army.
You must know that unlike Zhao County, Guangrao County is very close to here.
In addition, a few days ago, Guo Ji and a group of people were galloping in the busy city, which also caused quite a stir.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, and then thinking of Guo Ji's official position, after thinking about it for a while, most of the wealthy noble families in the city had already reacted.
There's trouble again!
After further careful investigation, there are various clues, and basically there is more specific information.
A group of yellow turban bandits appeared in the county, and they have successively attacked the two county towns of Zhao County and Guangrao County.
The wealthy noble families knew about it, and their servants from the wealthy families walked around the streets, and soon everyone in the common people also knew about it.
And with the help of some well-intentioned people, the news spread even bigger in the end.
At this time, Wang Zheng's strength had passively increased tenfold, and he became a national thief with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
After the whole city was shocked, everyone was paying attention to the subsequent development of the situation.
Will these yellow turban thieves attack our Linzi next step?
What will the Sheriff do?
Is it proactive or passive defense?
...
The focus of the city at this time.
County Sheriff's Office.
Unlike that day at home, today Xu Xuan is dressed up, wearing a crown, a silver medal and a green ribbon. His appearance is dignified, and he has three long strands of beard under his upper jaw, fully displaying the style and power of the Lord of Qi County.
After two days, Guo Ji's injury improved a lot and he finally woke up from coma. Xu Xuan quickly held a gathering of civil and military officials to discuss.
After the Guangrao hero finished telling everything he knew.
"Everyone." Xu Xuan looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "In addition to what Guo Gongcao said, I have also sent people to inquire in various places in the past two days and obtained some information."
"The leader of the thieves, Wang Zheng, is only a weakling this year. He was a commander of the Qingzhou Army before. It is suspected that when Zhou Mu attacked Xuzhou, he took the opportunity to use the reduction of military pay as an excuse to incite the entire military camp to rebel under the pretense of Zhang Jiao's reincarnation and fame."
"Based on this calculation, when the bandits attacked Zhao County, the maximum number of troops was two thousand. After Zhao County, the number of young and capable men was only four or five thousand at most."
"Fu Jun."
Hearing this, Wang Yi, the Qijun wine minister, expressed his doubts:
"Based on this inference, how did this group of Yellow Turban thieves capture Guangrao County in half a day?"
"According to what Guo Gongcao said, it is still a frontal attack, and there are no siege equipment..." Wang Yi shook his head:
"This doesn't make sense."
Everyone understands Wang Yi's common sense.
The yellow scarf thieves are incompetent.
This is common sense and common sense.
"Brother Wang is a civil servant, so he may not know much about martial arts."
At this time, the county lieutenant Dong Lin took the initiative to intervene and explained: "According to what Guo Gongcao said just now, the traitor Wang Zheng is extremely powerful and leads the army. He seems to be quite brave..."
Having said this, Dong Lin paused, looked at Guo Ji, and saw that he nodded repeatedly before continuing:
"In a battlefield battle, if the general is brave enough to take the lead in the charge, it will indeed boost the morale of the entire team and increase their combat effectiveness... Haha, it can't be viewed with common sense."
"In addition, it was unexpected. After all, Guangrao is just a county town. It has no moat or towers. The geographical advantage is not great, but it makes sense."
Dong Linben was the military commander with the highest official position in Qi County. When it came to military affairs, he was the most professional person on the field.
In addition, this analysis was reasonable and reasonable, and both Xu Xuan and other officials present nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then Lieutenant Dong, what do you think?" Seeing that he took the initiative to speak, Xu Xuan quickly asked, "How should we respond?"
"Master." Dong Lin cupped his hands and said firmly:
"Naturally, we will attack with all our strength, and take advantage of the fact that the thieves are not strong enough to quickly quell the chaos."
"this...."
Hearing this, Xu Xuan showed hesitation and fell into thinking.
You must know that before Zhou Mu attacked Xuzhou, he had mobilized some troops from Qi County. Now there are only four to five thousand people in Linzi City.
Since the thieves were able to defeat Guangrao, there were other factors, and their own combat power must be much stronger than the average yellow turban thieves.
If you send too few troops, you may not be able to quell the chaos; if you send too many troops, if something goes wrong...
