Chapter 42 Subduing the Black Mountain Thief
Zhang Yan and others were greatly surprised, but they didn't say anything. They looked at Liu Xian with suspicious expressions.
The skinny and sinister man behind Zhang Yan suddenly rushed forward and cursed: "The dog officer wants to lie to us again!" He reached out and grabbed Liu Xian.
Dian Wei, who had been standing silently behind Liu Xian, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the man's wrist, shouted, and lifted him up into the air, standing upright like a king on a tower. Zhang Yan was so powerful that he was shocked.
The others were horrified and couldn't help but take a step back.
Liu Xian was afraid that Dian Wei would tear the man in half in excitement, so he shouted urgently: "If evil comes, don't hurt him!"
Zhang Yan and others rushed forward in desperation to save people.
When Dian Wei saw this, he threw the man in his hand towards Zhang Yan and the others. In the strong wind, Zhang Yan hurriedly dodged to the side, but the others could not avoid it and were hit by the man's body.
It fell to the ground like a gourd.
Everyone was so angry that they drew their weapons and wanted to attack Liu Xian and the two.
But when they saw the terrifying bald man with his sword standing in front of them, like a mountain, everyone couldn't help but feel frustrated, and for a moment they didn't even dare to step forward.
"Stop!" Zhang Yan shouted. Everyone gave up the idea of besieging Liu Xian and retreated.
Zhang Yan stepped forward, glanced at the terrifying Dian Wei, and thought to herself: No wonder Governor Liu Xian dared to come to pay homage to the mountain like this. Such a ferocious man can be compared to a thousand troops!
He looked towards Liu Xian, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please forgive me, but my brothers have never known etiquette so much that they bumped into your lord!"
Liu Xian smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "There is no need to apologize, Leader Zhang. It is natural for your brothers not to believe me when we first met. I won't be offended!"
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel heartbroken by Liu Xian's magnanimity. She cupped her fists and bowed, "Thank you, sir!"
Liu Xian glanced at the people behind Zhang Yan and said: "I sincerely hope to help you, you don't have to doubt anything. If I wanted to do you harm, I wouldn't come to talk to you in person!"
Everyone looked at each other, as if they believed it a bit, but the thin and sinister man snorted coldly: "Don't say it so nice! I think you can't deal with us, so you have to trick us! Trick us out of here,
Then they can attack us!"
Liu Xian laughed heartily, his laughter was full of pride, and everyone couldn't help but feel flustered by his laughter.
Liu Xian stopped laughing and said: "If I want to deal with you, I don't need to use such methods!" Then he raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Show up!"
Huge war drums suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain, and thousands of troops poured out of the woods on the mountainside as if they had emerged from the ground. With giant shields as walls, spears like forests, and bows and crossbows strung, they were full of murderous intent!
Zhang Yan and others were taken aback. At this moment, someone from behind shouted: "No! There is someone on the girl's cliff!"
Everyone was startled, and quickly turned to look at the cliff peak behind them that pierced the clouds and pierced the sky. They were shocked to see many people appearing in the shadows on the mountain.
Although it was too far away to see clearly, he could see that the opponent was fully armed, and they were obviously officers and soldiers under the command of the prefect in front of him.
Everyone was in a panic and didn't know what to do. Even the skinny and sinister man who had always had a tough attitude had a look of horror on his face and couldn't think of any resistance.
Because the Girl's Cliff is the highest peak in the entire Black Mountain, it is condescending and can completely suppress all the main roads on the Black Mountain. Since the government and army control the Girl's Cliff, it will be easy to seize the entire Black Mountain and eliminate them!
While everyone was horrified, they were also puzzled as to how the officers and soldiers climbed up to the Girl's Cliff? The walls surrounding the Girl's Cliff were so steep that it was difficult for even apes, let alone humans, to climb?!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel infinite fear towards the prefect in front of them. They felt that this prefect who was always smiling was really unfathomable!
Zhang Yan swallowed her saliva, turned around and asked Liu Xian, "Since you have taken control of Girl Ya, why, why do you still come to talk to us?"
Liu Xiandao: "I have already said that I really want to help you. You can be said to have been forced by the local government to rebel against the Yellow Turban Army. I don't think this is a big crime."
"Since you are under my rule now, you are my people. As the local governor, I have the responsibility to help you live and work in peace and contentment."
When everyone heard these sincere words, their hearts suddenly surged with infinite emotion. This was the first time they had heard words like this in such a long time.
Liu Xiandao: "I don't want to use military means to solve the problem. I hope you can make the right choice."
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Liu Xian and said, "Your Majesty has already said this. If Zhang is still stubborn, he is no longer worthy of being a human being! Guan is willing to accept your recruitment and let your disposal be at your disposal!"
All his men, except for the skinny and sinister man, all showed joy.
Liu Xian walked up to Zhang Yan, helped him up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You and your subordinates will never regret this choice!"
A few days later, Zhang Yan led thousands of tribesmen and tens of thousands of family members down from the Black Mountain. Liu Xian settled them in several pre-planned areas and established new villages and towns to live in.
At the same time, Zhang Yan was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and he continued to lead his subordinates, but he eliminated the weak and retained the elite, retaining a thousand people, and the rest were disarmed and returned to farming.
Liu Xian returned to Hanoi County and left all the trivial matters to his subordinates to handle.
Liu Xian returned to the government office. As soon as he entered the door, Li Rong greeted him, cupping his fists and saying, "Sir, you have worked hard all the way!"
Liu Xian smiled and said: "It's not hard at all!" The two of them walked towards the hall together while talking.
Li Rong said with admiration: "My lord single-handedly went to Montenegro to say that I had brought down the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Now it has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city! Everyone says that your lord is really an amazing hero!"
Liu Xian laughed loudly and joked: "Single-handed? Who said that?"
Li Rongdao: "That's what everyone in the city says!"
As the two walked into the hall, Liu Xian stopped and asked, "Did anything happen in the city while I was away?"
Li Rong shook his head and said: "Everything is calm, nothing happened." Then he remembered something and said quickly: "There is only one thing."
Liu Xian looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Li Rongdao: "Not long ago, the eldest son of the Qi family personally sent a generous gift. In addition to money, food, gold and silver, there are also two charming beauties!"
Liu Xian was greatly surprised and asked: "Beauty?"
