Chapter 568 Rabbit wont eat the grass beside the nest
"Chief Chen, I, I, I'm here again!"
The Jiujiang County Sheriff had just returned to the Jiujiang County Sheriff's Mansion from Shouchun to deliver grain and grass to the rebel army's new home. He didn't even take a sip of tea, and then the nasty guest came again!
"Close the door, hurry up, close the door!" Chen Xian hurriedly asked the guard to close the door. He didn't want to see Jin Yao anymore.
"Why, Sheriff Chen doesn't welcome me as a neighbor!" Jin Yao smiled and pushed open the gate of the Sheriff's backyard. He sat down in front of the eucalyptus and picked up Chen Xiangang before he fell down.
Drink tea and a meal of cattle.
"How dare you!" Chen Xian helplessly asked someone to bring him another tea bottle.
"I don't know what the Dragon King wants here. I, Jiujiang County, have already emptied all the wealth of my family. What else do you want?" Chen Xian spread his hands. He opened all the warehouses in Jiujiang to Jin.
It's all gone, there's really nothing left, not even a drop.
"What do you mean by asking? It's a loan and it will be paid back!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"Do you believe it yourself, the Dragon King?" Chen Xian rolled his eyes, will you respond? Do you think I am a fool or an idiot?
"I don't believe it!" Jin Yao replied awkwardly.
"Tell me, what is the Dragon King going to do on this trip?" Chen Xian was speechless.
"Jiujiang no longer exists, but Dongting County does!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"???" Chen Xian was speechless. Good guy, you are planning to loot Dongting County as well.
"Chief Chen, you have to believe that if only Jiujiang is looted by us, it will be your dereliction of duty, but if Dongting is also looted, it will not be your incompetence! Dongting County Sheriff should know very well!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
.
Chen Xian looked at Jin Yao, are you a devil? Even if I die, even if I am accused of being implicated, I will never make peace with you or exploit my colleagues with you!
"Then what should we do?" Chen Xian could not escape the law of true fragrance after all.
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. If you explode yourself, it is better to invite everyone to explode together!
"Just tell the governor of Dongting that you, Jiujiang, have no supplies for us to rob. If Dongting doesn't support you to satisfy our appetite, then Jiujiang will be eaten by us, and then Dongting will be able to be the neighbor of this Dragon King.
Jin Yao said with a smile.
The corner of Chen Xian's mouth twitched, "I didn't lend you food or supplies before. Are you really planning to swallow me up in Jiujiang?"
"Alas, we are poor and have no choice! But I have a large army. Just say, if our Dragon Palace has a hundred thousand soldiers and generals, we will stop here in Pengze. Who from the Chu State can come to save you Jiujiang and Dongting?" Jin Yao pretended.
Zuo said with a sigh.
"..." Chen Xian just wants to flip the table and eat up the Shadow Tiger Army. You call this a shrimp soldier and a crab general!
But what you said makes sense. Once Peng Ze took over, the huge waters and swamps were natural dangers that the Imperial City army could not overcome. Their Jiujiang and Dongting directly lost contact with the Imperial City, and they were like meat on people's lips.
.
"As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests, and good horses don't eat the grass that turns back. Dragon Lord can't continue to exploit us in Jiujiang!" Chen Xian had already accepted his fate.
Even if he combined Jiujiang and Dongting, he could only muster an army of less than 10,000, but the other side had an army of 100,000!
"It's wrong for Sheriff Chen to say that. Although the saying goes that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, there is another sentence. Why run all over the mountain when there is grass? Besides, how do you know what the grass thinks? Maybe the grass will think,
If you don’t want to eat it, why don’t you give it to someone who looks familiar?” Jin Yao laughed.
"Devil!" Chen Xian really felt powerless. Is this something a human can do?
"I'll go talk to Wu Rui, the governor of Dongting County!" Chen Xian was convinced. Jiujiang and Dongting are now grasshoppers on a rope. Neither one is better. How can he bear the insurrectionary force alone?
Exploitation!
"I ￥... people say no!" Wu Rui, the governor of Dongting County, looked at Chen Xian who came and cursed directly. He even suspected that he would be targeted by the rebels. It was this guy who called him a brother all day long who reminded him.
Originally, he was still watching the excitement, but who knew that the fire suddenly reached his own door.
"Do you really think Jiujiang and Dongting can satisfy each other's appetite?" After Wu Rui finished scolding, he looked at Jiujiang County Governor Chen Xian and asked.
"So what if you can't be satisfied?" Chen Xian was already lying on his back. Jiujiang and Dongting were not valued by the Chu State to begin with, and all kinds of development and resources were not tilted towards them. After being sucked in by Jin Yao, they became even poorer.
"We are not taken seriously by Chu State in the first place, but if we are sucked in by this Dragon King, and we have to pay tribute to Shouchun, do we still have a way to survive?" Wu Rui looked at Chen Xian and continued to ask.
Chen Xian also fell silent. He didn't know, but what could he do?
"And even if we can be satisfied by relying on our family wealth and exploiting the lower class people, after all, we have provided supplies to the rebels. Will those people in Shouchun tolerate us?" Wu Rui continued to ask.
Chen Xian frowned. How could he not understand the affairs of the court? Jiujiang was occupied by the rebels, and then Dongting and Jiujiang provided supplies to each other. Then people would definitely make a fuss about this matter, and then suffer a hidden loss.
Shouchun had no choice but to find someone to take the blame.
And he and Wu Rui are ready-made scapegoats. Even if they are not wrong in anything, they will definitely be convicted and held accountable.
"So what do you want to do?" Chen Xian also roughly understood what Wu Rui was thinking, but he still had to say it alone to avoid accidents in the future and he would become the mastermind!
"Since the Dragon King of Jiujiang has blocked Peng Ze, we might as well revolt directly, declare independence, and no longer be under the jurisdiction of Chu State." Wu Rui said.
"Treason?" Chen Xian didn't expect Wu Rui to be so bold. He originally thought that Wu Rui just refused to pay tribute to Shouchun, and then they could use Jiujiang Dragon King to block the Pengze Fortress, and their tribute taxes could not be sent.
To Shouchun.
Who would have thought that Wu Rui would actually rebel! Just like the rebels, he directly declared independence!
"Brother Chen, can't you see the general trend of the world?" Wu Rui sighed.
"The Qin State is sitting in the north and has strong troops and horses. It is only a matter of time before the countries in Shandong are overthrown. Are we just going to sit back and wait for death?" Wu Rui asked.
Chen Xian also fell silent. Being the governor of a county would not be too bad, but knowing is one thing, and how to choose is another.
"I, Wu Rui, have no talent. I am not doing this for myself, but for the people of Dongting. Who can be spared under the attack of the Qin army? I have no loyalty and patriotism, and Shouchun has no kindness to me, Dongting. Let me
Hundreds of thousands of people in Dongting died for the country, and I, Wu Rui, can't do it, and I'm not qualified to choose for the people of Dongting."
"So, all I can do is protect Dongting!"
"In the future, when the Qin army goes south, the Jiujiang Dragon King will also become our bridgehead between Dongting and Jiujiang. I just need to wait for the battle between the Qin army and the Jiujiang Dragon King and watch the Jiujiang Dragon King's choice."
"I can't be a sinner through the ages, but if someone does it, I can choose to follow!"
Wu Rui said seriously, asking him to be the first to surrender to the city, he couldn't do it, but if there were people in front, it would be fine if he followed!
