Chapter 204: Bandits prepare to fight the Jun Governor

~7 min read 1,370 words

Of course, Yu Heng also came prepared this time, determined to let Jiang Jinshi see his ability.

"Great Master Jiang! It is certainly a good thing that Yangguangzhai took Panjiang City, but you must be careful of the Guangwu Jun Governor!" Yu Heng said with a serious face.

Jiang Jinshi tapped his finger on the table, then responded indifferently: "Mm! I know, go play!"

Seeing Jiang Jinshi's appearance, Yu Heng could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that perhaps only after the other party suffered a loss would they value him.

After Yu Heng and Jiang Li left, Jiang Jinshi thought about Yu Heng's problem with a heavy face.

The things Yu Heng learned could be described as extremely extensive: astrology, divination, and even dream interpretation and feng shui.

These things also existed in his previous life, and Jiang Jinshi also believed that there was a reason for these things to be passed down. But the problem was that Jiang Jinshi didn't not believe in the other party's ability, but didn't believe in this person.

As for being careful of the Guangwu Jun Governor, Jiang Jinshi knew it clearly in his heart without Yu Heng's reminder.

In the past, what Yangguangzhai did could only be considered small troubles in the other party's heart, but this time it really touched the other party's foundation.

So a counterattack was inevitable, but he didn't know the scale for the time being.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshi temporarily threw Yu Heng's matter to the back of his mind. He didn't know what the purpose of the people behind the other party was for the time being, so it was better to get through this hurdle first.

So Jiang Jinshi spread out the map and carefully checked the current territory of Yangguangzhai.

Although several cities were connected, seemingly occupying a corner of Guangwu Jun, in reality, the terrain was very unfavorable to their side.

As the main transportation hub, Panjiang City had no natural barriers to protect it, making it easy to fall into a situation of being surrounded.

But the other cities were too small to withstand large-scale operations. It was difficult for even a few hundred people to stand on the city walls, and they couldn't display their skills at all; instead, it was favorable to the other party.

That's right! Jiang Jinshi didn't intend to arrange for people to guard all the cities; he advocated gathering together to clash with the other party.

Originally, there was a gap in strength between the two sides, and actively dispersing troops was no different from seeking death.

As for the commoners in the city, Jiang Jinshi didn't worry at all. The other party wasn't the Xiongnu, and they wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately after entering the city. So it didn't matter if they temporarily abandoned some cities. As long as they could win this war, those cities would still belong to Yangguangzhai, and no one could take them away!

As long as the Guangwu Jun Governor still wanted to save his dog life, he wouldn't touch the commoners; instead, he would have to show compassion to the commoners and send some benefits, lest his reputation not be as good as Yangguangzhai's!

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Jinshi finally decided to concentrate all his troops in Panjiang City.

There was no way; the remaining four cities were too small to withstand large-scale wars.

Even though he had been repairing the city walls after taking over, they were still not enough in front of the city walls of Panjiang City.

Although Panjiang City needed to guard four city gates, if the other party attacked from all four sides, they would also have to disperse their troops, so it was the most suitable battlefield for now.

"Someone come!"

Jiang Jinshi shouted toward the outside of the door.

"Great Master, is there anything?"

"Notify all medium squad leaders and above to assemble!"

"Yes!"

Soon, ten medium squad leaders and Luo Feng, the large squad leader, all came. Jiang Jinshi asked Wang Hou first.

"How is the matter with the post station?"

Wang Hou stood up and said: "It is currently in progress. Half of the area within Guangwu Jun has been covered, and other Juns are a bit further away and haven't started yet!"

"Is there anyone in Guangwu City?" This was the question Jiang Jinshi cared about most. Only by mastering the other party's movements would he not be so passive.

Wang Hou nodded and said: "Xiao Yu happens to be in Guangwu City!"

"Good! Can you send a letter to her?"

It had been almost a month since the establishment of the post station, and Jiang Jinshi had nothing to complain about with such progress.

"Yes!"

Wang Hou knew that Jiang Jinshi was referring to carrier pigeon messaging, and nodded heavily toward Jiang Jinshi.

"Good!" Jiang Jinshi said without hesitation: "Send a letter to Xiao Yu, telling her to focus on the movements of the Guangwu garrison. Once there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Luo Feng sensed something unusual from Jiang Jinshi's arrangement and asked tentatively: "Great Master, do you suspect that the Jun Governor will take action?"

"It's not suspicion!" Jiang Jinshi shook his head. "The other party will take action with a high probability. After all, we can take Panjiang City, which shows that our momentum has been formed."

"If he continues to tolerate it and lets us develop! In just one month, I fear the brothers of Yangguangzhai will have killed their way to Guangwu City."

Jiang Ze narrowed his eyes and said: "So the other party will definitely strike first!"

"Interesting! Big Brother, how do you say we should fight?" Nie Fengyun, this warlike element, was not afraid at all. Last time he attacked Panjiang City, he was with Xiexiezi the whole time, but there was no brilliant performance, and he had long been itching for it.

Jiang Jinshi's mouth curled up, and he said with deep meaning: "Don't fight!"

"Don't fight?"

Everyone looked at each other, obviously not understanding Jiang Jinshi's meaning. After all, if the other party came to the door, would they do nothing?

"Right! Defend but don't attack!"

Jiang Jinshi nodded. He didn't know how many troops the other party would bring for the time being, so he would definitely focus on defense.

"I understand! Big Brother, what should we do now?" Luo Feng already understood. They didn't have the advantage, so defending the city was the best choice.

"Pass the order down, withdraw all the brothers from all cities, and gather them all in Panjiang City!"

"Ah! We don't want the territory we worked so hard to take?" Zhang Honghong exclaimed with a look of heartache.

Tang Lin beside her was speechless, pulling her arm, signaling her not to speak.

Jiang Jinshi explained after seeing this scene.

"The Jun Governor doesn't dare to touch the commoners; his goal is only the people of Yangguangzhai, so it's fine to temporarily give up those cities. As long as we can win this war, the cities will still be ours."

"Oh, oh! Then Big Brother, you continue!" Zhang Honghong felt a bit embarrassed after hearing the explanation and sat down.

"Everyone's family and the people of the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce should be brought to Panjiang City. In those four cities, there can only be ordinary 'commoners', understand?"

Jiang Jinshi emphasized the two words "commoners" and looked at Wang Hou. Wang Hou immediately understood and nodded imperceptibly toward Jiang Jinshi.

"Arrange it like this for now! Go do your things!"

"Yes!"

Everyone walked out with a serious face. This matter was not small and might stir up quite a storm in several cities.

Because the commoners were used to living under Yangguangzhai, suddenly being notified that Yangguangzhai was going to withdraw would certainly make people panic.

Logistics personnel and people from the Chamber of Commerce were easier to arrange, but the salt factory in Qingcheng had to be moved again.

Those things couldn't be discovered by others; after all, it was Yangguangzhai's way of making money.

However, after Jiang Jinshi's order was issued, no one questioned it, and everyone was firmly executing the order. ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
