Chapter 205: Protecting bandits to fight the Jun Governor

~7 min read 1,346 words

The next day, Tang Xiao Yu in Guangwu City was disguising herself.

Last night, she suddenly received Wang Hou's carrier pigeon message, asking her to closely monitor the movements of the Guangwu City garrison.

Tang Xiao Yu, who originally only planted spies in the city, had to go out in person to ensure that accurate news was sent back to Yangguangzhai.

At this time, Liu Xuecheng had just received the Prince of Zhenbei's reply. Originally still holding expectations, his hope was completely shattered the moment he opened the letter.

Throwing the letter aside casually, Liu Xuecheng shouted toward the outside of the door: "Call General Yan over, I have something to discuss!"

Due to the system of the Da Qian Dynasty, Liu Xuecheng couldn't directly command the garrison and could only negotiate with the general guarding Guangwu Jun.

The two were originally mutually restraining and complementary, but under Liu Xuecheng's management over the years, it could be said that he and General Yan wore the same pair of pants, so Liu Xuecheng was very confident about sending troops.

Although General Yan was also a general, he was far from the Prince of Zhenbei in terms of power and status, so when he heard Liu Xuecheng's idea of sending troops, he asked at the first moment.

"Did the Prince of Zhenbei agree?"

Liu Xuecheng shook his head, analyzed the pros and cons to the other party, and finally successfully persuaded the other party.

"How many troops should be sent?"

"10,000! The Jun cannot be without people, 10,000 is enough!" Liu Xuecheng held up a finger.

General Yan thought for a while and said: "Then you lead the troops to go! I will guard here."

"Good!"

Liu Xuecheng agreed without hesitation, just in time to lead troops to avenge his nephew.

And General Yan also had his own selfish motives. Although Liu Xuecheng's words moved him, there were too many unknowns in this matter, and he had to leave himself a way out.

If the Prince of Zhenbei really held him accountable later, he didn't lead the troops himself, so the charge of rebellion naturally couldn't be pinned on him.

Tang Xiao Yu found a restaurant in the city to drink tea, specifically choosing a seat by the window, and her makeup was specifically dressed as an ordinary appearance to ensure that others wouldn't pay too much attention.

Not long after, she saw the garrison on the street rushing toward the outside of the city.

"Assemble! Hurry!"

"The Jun Governor and the General are both here; there must be something big happening, let's move faster."

Tang Xiao Yu, who sensed something unusual, immediately went downstairs, shuttled back and forth in the alley, and finally arrived at her temporary residence.

She picked up a pen to write a letter, stuffed it into a small wooden tube, and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

"Go!"

Yangguangzhai's movements were very fast. The next day, such a comprehensive withdrawal really attracted the attention of the commoners, especially the closing of the grain shops, which made people panic, and many people came forward to ask directly.

"This Captain, what is the situation?"

"Yeah! Why does this posture look like you're leaving?"

"Can you tell us? Moving things all the time makes people panic!"

This Captain put down the things on his shoulders and said to the commoners with reluctance: "Everyone, it's not that we Yangguangzhai are leaving! It's that the Guangwu Jun Governor is coming to fight us."

"What? This is unreasonable!"

"What exactly does this dog official want to do?"

"I wipe the Jun Governor's mother, the commoners have suffered so much following him, and he still has the face to fight Yangguangzhai?"

"We don't agree!"

"Right! We don't agree!"

Obviously, hearing that the Jun Governor was coming to fight Yangguangzhai undoubtedly aroused public anger. The crowd grew larger and larger, surrounding the people of Yangguangzhai in the middle.

"Bandits, don't be afraid, we will protect you when these dog officials come!"

"Right! Everyone pick up weapons and fight the Jun Governor, this bastard!"

Seeing this, this small squad leader advised at the right time: "Everyone, don't be impulsive! Our Great Master already has a countermeasure! As long as we win the battle, we will definitely come back!"

"This... what should we do?"

"Yeah! We've only lived a good life for two days!"

Jiang Ze passed by and saw this, immediately walked up and shouted: "Fellow villagers! Everyone put your hearts in your stomachs. After we drive away the Jun Governor, everyone can still live a good life!"

A seventy-year-old grandfather in the crowd said tremblingly.

"This Captain is right! Then let us join Yangguangzhai too! We will help you fight the Jun Governor!"

Jiang Ze looked at the grandfather who couldn't even stand steadily, with a moved expression on his face, and said with red eyes: "Although the Jun Governor is a bastard, I think he wouldn't dare to touch the commoners. Everyone just wait here for us to come back, we will definitely win!"

"Yeah! Let's not add to the chaos, watch the adults of Yangguangzhai beat the Jun Governor until he farts and flows!"

"My son is a member of Yangguangzhai, tell him for me, if he dares to desert, I won't have this son!"

Jiang Ze spoke at the right time: "Alright everyone, let's continue moving things! We must prepare in advance to have a chance to beat the Jun Governor."

"Right, right, right! Everyone come and lend a hand, help the adults of Yangguangzhai."

By the time Jiang Ze turned and left, there were no more tears in his eyes; just now it was all intentional.

This trick was devised by Xiao Chunqiu, deliberately releasing the wind to make the commoners hostile to the Jun Governor, so that when the Jun Governor came, it would be more difficult to get any information from the commoners.

At such a critical juncture, this move could also absorb many people to join Yangguangzhai voluntarily, which could be considered as adding a trace of winning percentage to the war.

Anyway, doing this didn't take much effort, it was completed smoothly, and it would be nice if there were any unexpected joys.

Such things didn't just happen in one city. Except for Panjiang City, the other four cities were the same. The commoners cursed the Jun Governor and even used the trick of sticking little people, which made everyone stunned.

Among them, the ones who cursed the most fiercely were the commoners of Baiyan City. They couldn't compare to the other three cities. They had already been under Yangguangzhai for a period of time, and they had only lived a good life for a few days.

Every time they thought of this, the commoners of Baiyan City couldn't help but spit on the ground, but they could only hope that the bandits of Yangguangzhai could beat the Jun Governor!

Before everyone gathered in Panjiang City, Wang Hou here received Tang Xiao Yu's reply.

After Wang Hou finished reading the letter, his face changed immediately, and he hurriedly found Jiang Jinshi.

"Great Master, the Jun Governor really brought troops!"

Jiang Jinshi took the letter to check. He didn't expect the other party's movements to be so fast. Fortunately, everyone was already slowly gathering, so the time should be ample.

It's just a pity that Tang Xiao Yu's letter didn't write how many troops the other party had. Presumably, there was no chance to get close.

"Tell everyone to speed up, I don't know how many people the other party is bringing for the time being, so plan for the worst!"

"Yes!"

After all, it was a large-scale troop mobilization, so the travel speed shouldn't be very fast. Conservatively estimated, it would take two days, so Jiang Jinshi still had two days to plan.

"By the way, tell everyone to prepare some golden juice, it will be used when defending the city!"

"Good! Should the five cities combined be enough?"

"Feed it to them? Where would you need so much!" ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
