After a while, all three of the Zhuge family were taken to the back hall of the county government office, and Huang Zhong sat in the upper head, majestic.
Huang Zhong glanced sharply at Zhuge Liang, "Tell me, what do you think? If you answer well, I will let you go for the time being and leave you to Liu Jingzhou for disposal. If you answer poorly, hum, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag today."
It is impossible to really kill Zhuge Liang to sacrifice the flag, but now it is so chaos, and it is still easy to "accidentally" make Zhuge Liang die under the chaos.
Zhuge Liang calmed down and said calmly, "If I expected it was right, the enemy that was invading should be the Xiliang soldiers."
"Oh?" Huang Zhong was surprised, "How can I see it?"
Zhuge Liang said confidently, "Cao Cao just won the emperor this year and took control of the court. Now his biggest trouble is Li Jue Guo Si from Guanzhong and Lu Bu from Xuzhou. He still has no time to take care of these two things, so he has no intention to provoke Liu Jingzhou, who has always been polite."
Huang Zhong pulled the corner of his mouth and said, this kid was really able to say it.
Have you always been scrupulous? That is obviously a fear of one's head and one's heart and no courage, okay?
Zhuge Liang continued, "Apart from Cao Cao, they are naturally the Xiliang soldiers left by Dong Zhuo. Our northern Jingzhou is flat, and for these Xiliang cavalry, it is like being unprepared for these Xiliang cavalry.
But if the enemy is really ambitious and will not go to harass Wancheng, he should attack Xinye. Xinye has a boat, so he can cross the Han River and go straight to Xiangyang. As long as he gets Xiangyang, the entire Jingzhou is in sight..."
As Zhuge Liang said, Huang Zhong's face became solemn.
His eyes gradually set on Zhuge Liang.
"If Xinye doesn't fight, he will go to Wancheng. Wancheng is very close to Xuchang, and every move will alarm the court. The person comes is also a Xiliang soldier with a sensitive identity. Even if Cao Cao is attacked immediately, I would not be surprised. The reason why they made such a choice was only one, that is..."
Zhuge Liang paused, and then said confidently, "—Wancheng has money!"
After hearing this, Huang Zhong nodded involuntarily.
Wancheng was the county seat of Nanyang before, and it was the most prosperous.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the eight counties of Jingzhou, Nanyang, Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Jiangxia, Wuling and Zhangling, Nanyang is the most prosperous.
And Wancheng is half as big as Nanyang.
In order to control Jingzhou, Liu Biao stationed a large army in Xiangyang, a key transportation area, as the capital of Jingzhou, which gradually weakened the influence of Wancheng.
Zhuge Liang continued in a clear voice, "How great a fighting spirit can a group of thieves who have no vision and only know how much money and food can they have? I dare to be sure that as long as they shoot their leader by surprise, the remaining thieves will be terrified. Maybe when the army in Liu Jingzhou arrives, they will not make up their minds."
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said seriously, "Hmph, this is just one side of you!"
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Zhong directly for the first time.
His eyes were clear, but he had strong penetration.
"Otherwise? The Xiliang soldiers are now only trying to copy and ignore their business. If they are allowed to enter the territory, they will definitely be corrupt and destroy and kill. But as long as you shoot their leaders, they will not be able to entrench near the county town for revenge. At that time, the county master will not know how many lives they can save. Isn't such great achievements and great righteousness worthy of the county master?"
"this?"
Huang Zhong was speechless.
What Zhuge Liang said makes sense. As long as the hatred is stabilized, the Xiliang soldiers will not cause disaster. When Liu Biao brings the army over, Huang Zhong not only makes a great contribution, but also makes a great move.
Huang Zhong was already moved, but after thinking about it carefully, it was still a bit troublesome to implement Zhuge Liang's idea.
Huang Zhong frowned and shouted coldly, "You are so light! I'll ask you, these Xiliang thieves came and killed them in a hurry. How do you know which one is the leader of the other party? If you kill a person who is not painful or itchy by mistake, it will not only not shock the thieves, but will instead arouse the other party's fierceness. What should you do?"
Zhuge Liang was also a little stunned when he heard this.
Everyone understands the truth, but there is no Internet in this era, and Zhang Ji does not have social accounts.
Now I can’t even get a picture I’ve ever picked out!
Even if Huang Zhong is good at archery skills and faces a vast crowd of people, he is still full of cavalry, so it is really difficult to find out which one is the leader.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Huang Zhong felt a little disappointed and immediately scolded him with disgust, "I knew you were a frivolous prodigal son for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be a man of war on paper like Zhao Kuo! You took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, disturb the people's hearts, people come..."
Damn it!
When Zhuge Liang heard that Huang Zhong had already started singing, his scalp suddenly became numb.
This has to be interrupted!
Just then, Zhuge Liang suddenly saw the helmet placed on the table by Huang Zhong, and immediately thought about it and shouted, "Wait a minute, I have a way."
"Huh?" Huang Zhong paused, a little disbelief, and said suspiciously, "Then tell me."
Zhuge Liang coughed dryly, "What, County Mayor Huang..."
The clerk next to him was sweating coldly and quickly reminded in a low voice, "Shangguan is the county magistrate."
At this time, the officials of a large county were called county magistrates, and the officials of a small county were called county magistrates. Rang County was rich, and Huang Zhong had a salary of one thousand stones a year, while ordinary county magistrates only had a salary of three or five hundred stones.
There is also a certain gap in status.
"Oh." Zhuge Liang changed his words, "Mr. Huang County, have you been training troops these days?"
Huang Zhong nodded, as if he thought Zhuge Liang had such an extra question, "Of course. I don't understand government affairs, so I naturally take it as my responsibility to protect the country and the people."
Huang Zhong was wondering in his heart, and Zhuge Liang said confidently, "If the county magistrate is willing to give up something, I have a way to help you find the thief!"
Huang Zhong had already followed Zhuge Liang's gaze and asked in confusion, "Do you think my golden helmet?"
The Huang family is a large clan in Jingzhou. The helmet that Huang Zhong himself carved is made of brass and is finely carved, which is very gorgeous. However, Huang Zhong trained his soldiers these days and didn't bother to organize them. Not only was the helmet gray, but even the tassels on it were a little dirty.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Not bad. The county magistrate trained his soldiers, but he still couldn't care about his appearance, let alone those thieves who were running around? If the county magistrate carefully decorated the golden helmet, then replaced it with a big red necklace, and then expressed his gratitude to the thieves' army, wouldn't it be easy to find their leader among the thieves?"
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This method is good!
If everyone else was in a bad mood on the battlefield, just a funny guy was holding a red tassel. With his archery skills, it would be difficult to aim correctly!
This little scumbag is still very insidious.
only……
Huang Zhong frowned and asked, "How come you are sure that the thief will not give it to others after getting the golden helmet?"
This is also a problem.
Chapter completed!
