Chapter 209: Commoners know they are wrong
Nie Fengyun rubbed his hands and said to Jiang Jinshi: "Otherwise, let me go out and meet them!"
"Yeah! I'm tired of watching their little actions every day. I want to fight them with real swords and guns!" Jiang Ze was also itching for it. He had had very few opportunities to take action so far, and he always felt his hands were itchy.
Jiang Jinshi smiled helplessly: "Don't be in a hurry. If we consume like this, the ones who can't stand it first must be them!"
In fact, he also understood everyone's thoughts. Now there were too many military generals in Yangguangzhai, and everyone's morale was very high. Basically, they were all the main battle faction, and not a single one was conservative.
As long as he said fight, these brothers would rush one faster than the other!
Even Luo Feng beside him was looking at Jiang Jinshi with burning eyes. He didn't speak, but silence was better than sound.
However, Jiang Jinshi considered many things. He wasn't willing to lose too many people to the other party. After all, the squad leaders had the soul of the military general and had no problem protecting themselves in the chaotic army, but the brothers at the bottom didn't!
If they collided head-on, he could win, but he would also have to pay a not-so-small price, which was far less cost-effective than defending the city!
"Big Brother! I actually think it won't work for us to be beaten passively like this!" Xiexiezi thought for a long time before saying this sentence.
"Do you have any ideas?" Jiang Jinshi was curious.
Xiexiezi gave a sly laugh: "If they can harass us, we can naturally harass them too. It's a two-way street!"
This idea was not bad, and the medium squad leaders all had shining eyes. This not only avoided head-on confrontation but also returned the color.
More importantly, they could go out and practice with the other party!
Seeing that everyone's expression was basically the same, Jiang Jinshi didn't hesitate anymore: "Good! Then it's settled!"
Since they were all main battle, he couldn't suppress them too hard, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they were suffocated!
Next was the order of their private consultation to fight. Luo Feng occupied the first place without hesitation. Who let him be the large squad leader?
But the subsequent order was hard to decide. Everyone wanted to fight in the front, and no one would let anyone else, arguing until their faces were red and ears were red.
On the battlefield, I can block knives for you, but it's not okay for you to fight before me.
It was impossible for the other party to consume here forever, and the outcome would be decided sooner or later. If they were ranked relatively behind, they might not have a chance to take action at all.
Unlike the high morale of Yangguangzhai, the morale of the garrison outside the city was relatively low, because Colonel Li didn't intend to consume too much time when he came, so the grain and grass carried were not many.
And now that they started to surround the city, although the time was short and the grain and grass were temporarily sufficient, he had to plan for the long term.
This also led to the soldiers not being able to eat enough and well, especially the shortage of meat. Every time they smelled the fragrance from Panjiang City, it made people itch.
In fact, this was intentional by the bandits. They boiled several big pots of meat soup on the city wall, just kept boiling it, and changed to a new pot to continue boiling when it dried up. When the wind was favorable, the fragrance could be scattered.
When the two sides were deadlocked like this, the logistics of Yangguangzhai were busy with their feet not touching the ground. Arrows needed to be recycled and made, damaged shields needed to be repaired, and armor was the same.
Liu Xuecheng on the other side arrived at Baiyan City and entered the city without any obstruction.
Because Yangguangzhai had withdrawn now, there was no one guarding the city gate, and even the streets were cold and clear.
"Someone come! Call all the commoners over, remember to have a good attitude!" Liu Xuecheng ordered, already prepared to start his performance.
The commoners didn't want to pay attention after receiving this news, but they were afraid that the Jun Governor would be angry and implicate everyone, so they had to go to the city gate slowly.
By the time everyone had arrived, Liu Xuecheng rode his horse forward two steps and said: "I heard that bandits harass the people, making it difficult to sleep at night, so I brought the army to suppress the bandits."
When the words reached this point, someone in the crowd spat, which sounded exceptionally loud in the quiet crowd.
Liu Xuecheng's face stiffened, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only pretend not to hear and continue: "Now those bandits of Yangguangzhai have been surrounded in Panjiang City, and it only takes some time for us to wipe out the thieves and return a bright and clear universe to the commoners!"
"Dog catching a mouse!"
Someone in the commoners suddenly popped out such a sentence. This time Liu Xuecheng really couldn't pretend not to hear. He didn't expect that even if he came in person, this group of lowly people still dared to be so presumptuous.
"Who is making noise?"
There was silence all around, no one answered, as if nothing had just happened!
After waiting for a while and no one responded, Liu Xuecheng's face was very ugly, constantly comforting himself in his heart.
After all, if this play wasn't performed well, it was about his life!
But the subsequent polite words couldn't be said no matter what, so he could only say directly: "In order to let the commoners live a happy life as soon as possible, I decided to use the Jun's funds to help everyone repair the damaged doors and roofs, and set up porridge stations outside the city."
Liu Xuecheng learned this point from the Guangwu Jun Governor. That guy did this in Ziyun City and gained a lot of good reputation. He followed suit, presumably it should be effective.
This time the commoners didn't dare to contradict, and could only discuss in a low voice.
"Heh! Whose door or roof is broken?"
"What does damaged mean? Does the Jun Governor want to smash our doors and roofs first and then repair them?"
"Dead stingy, it's our bad luck to follow such a dog official."
"Eh! Don't talk nonsense, Yangguangzhai will come back sooner or later!"
This time Liu Xuecheng wanted some response, but couldn't hear anything clearly, only feeling that the commoners were whispering about him, and always felt it wasn't anything good!
Seeing this situation, Liu Xuecheng could only dryly laugh twice and say: "That's about it, everyone go busy!"
Afterward, Liu Xuecheng took people to stroll in the city, intending to make a friendly appearance.
It would be best if there were elderly people falling down or some changes, and he would then come to the rescue, wouldn't the reputation be reversed?
Just thinking of this, a basin of cold water fell from the sky, and Liu Xuecheng on the horse's back instantly became a drowned rat.
"Who dares to touch the Jun Governor?" The soldiers formed a circle and looked around.
An old grandfather came down from the restaurant, hurriedly knelt down and apologized to Liu Xuecheng repeatedly: "My heaven! Official master, the commoner didn't mean it, the commoner didn't know the official master would walk from here!"
"Don't kill me! The commoner knows he is wrong!" The old grandfather begged for mercy while kowtowing, with tears hanging in his turbid eyes, looking extremely miserable!
The hand holding the reins of Liu Xuecheng's hand had blue veins bursting out. He really wanted to directly behead this old immortal in front of him, but the remaining reason told him that doing so would be over.
He didn't wait for the old grandfather who needed treatment, but only waited for a commoner who knelt and begged for mercy.
How could his reputation improve if this spread?
"No... no harm!"
Liu Xuecheng popped two words from his teeth, gritted his teeth and took the soldiers to turn and leave, without any intention of staying at all.
The commoners of Baiyan City were all stubborn people, and they were all in the same boat as those bandits. Let's deal with them later!
After Liu Xuecheng left, the old grandfather stood up, no longer having the miserable appearance just now.
The neighbors all walked up and gave thumbs up: "Old Li, you have great courage, not bad!"
"Yeah! Look at the appearance of that dog official, laugh to death!" ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
