Hearing these four words, Cheng Mu was instantly shocked.
Have those dominant beings in ancient times appeared now?
"who is it?"
he asked hurriedly.
"Gongsun Zan!"
Zhuge Liang shook his fan and answered softly.
"Hiss! The white horse is loyal to Gongsun Zan!"
Gongsun Zan's name was like thunder to Cheng Mu's ears.
According to legend, Zhao Yun was originally a general under him, but later defected to Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang's third strategy is to use Gongsun Zan to destroy Black Dragon Village or even occupy the entire Qingyang City.
Now Gongsun Zan has 3,000 famous white horse followers.
Moreover, a group of White Horse Yi Cong recently appeared near the ruins of Juxuzhai and were discovered by the sentinels of Tianqi Village who were on sentry duty.
If Cheng Mu can help Gongsun Zan capture Qingyang City, Tianqi Village's income will definitely not be comparable to that of simple trade.
As expected, Zhuge Liang just kept quiet and became a blockbuster.
After only a few days here, Cheng Mu was given such a huge explosive plan.
"A good trick to drive away wolves and fish in troubled waters."
Cheng Mu nodded appreciatively.
As long as Anqing County is messed up, or even Qingzhou is messed up.
With Cheng Mu's strength, he can take advantage of the opportunity to plunder resources and develop rapidly.
But if this happens, the entire Kingdom of China will fall into civil strife.
This is not what Cheng Mu wanted.
What he wants is to build the entire Kingdom of China into the Empire of China.
Finally, replace it.
If we mess up the Kingdom of China now, then the Kingdom of China will probably be the first to be destroyed when the national war begins.
"No, no, at least not now."
Cheng Mu shook his head and refused.
Then he changed Zhuge Liang's strategy.
"We can drive away wolves and swallow tigers, but instead of swallowing Qingyang City, we will put pressure on the Lord of Qingyang City so that he has no energy to manage our Tianqi Village."
Historically, Gongsun Zan was also a man who oppressed the people. Who knows how he will govern Qingyang City in the future.
3000 white horses followed, Cheng Mu also wanted to swallow it greedily.
Even if the current strength does not allow it, the desire cannot be eliminated.
Sometimes people need greed and desire to urge themselves forward.
"My lord is wise!"
After hearing Cheng Mu's strategy, Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.
The next step is to discuss how to use Baima Yicong to put pressure on Qingyang City Lord.
The second day.
A caravan carrying the banner of the City Lord's Mansion was walking slowly on the road.
They had just returned from the south with a cart full of spices and gems.
Once the flag of the city lord's palace was raised, no bandit dared to spy on it.
But just as the caravan passed by a cheap road, a group of elite cavalry suddenly rushed out.
"Kill!"
This team of elite riders wore white robes and held long spears.
Even the horses under his command are white.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The caravan steward woke up instantly and shouted that the enemy was coming.
The originally lazy guards were also thrown into confusion by the sudden attack.
Before the defense could be organized, the entire caravan was swept to pieces.
"Kill them all!"
The leader of the caravan, Baima Yi, followed the leader's order, and everyone in the caravan followed the poisonous hand.
After a few clicks, there were corpses on the ground.
"Haha! Pack up the loot and let's go!"
"The general is going to capture the city recently. These gems can be exchanged for food and grass!"
The white horse followers laughed and walked further and further away.
Half an hour later.
After noticing that the enemy had left, a figure emerged from under the carriage.
He looked at the corpses on the ground in horror and ran away.
Qingyang City, City Lord's Mansion.
"What? Robbed?"
The city lord Yang Zhenfeng smashed the armrest of the stool with one palm and was furious.
"Yes, it is."
"I heard that they intercepted our caravan to buy food and grass and capture the city!"
The person kneeling on the ground and trembling with fear was the caravan manager who was lucky enough to survive.
"This is too much!"
Yang Zhenfeng stood up angrily and ordered to get down.
"Send an order for General Huo to come see me."
Baima Yi has appeared since a long time ago, but at the beginning he was always keeping his distance.
He actually dared to rob his caravan today. Those gems were all prepared for his beloved concubine, Beauty Wang.
Unforgivable.
Not long after, General Huo Lihuo, who was guarding Qingyang City, arrived.
However, when he heard that he was going to use troops against Gongsun Zan, he immediately stopped him and said:
"Lord, you must not do this!"
"Then Gongsun Zan has 3,000 white-horse followers under his command. We are no match for him!"
Since it is not wartime, Qingyang City only has 1,000 guards to maintain public order.
"Then let him bully me and there is no one in Qingyang City?"
Yang Zhenfeng was unwilling to give in.
"My lord, now Gongsun Zan will use a city as a place to stay."
"If we anger him and Qingyang City is breached..."
Huo Li didn't say anything else.
But Yang Zhenfeng knew the consequences of Qingyang City being breached.
"Send the order! Strengthen the vigilance and recruit 3,000 militiamen as backup!"
In the end Yang Zhenfeng endured it.
The cities in Anqing County are not monolithic. If Qingyang City falls, his head will not be saved.
For the sake of his own life, he decided to defend Qingyang City first.
Even if Gongsun Zan does not come to attack, he can still prevent being attacked by showing his determination to defend the city.
Tianqi Village.
Cheng Mu, Guan Hai and others were washing their horses by Kunming Lake.
Those white-horse followers just now are the ones they pretended to be.
Dye the war horse white with white paint and put it on a white robe.
Well, the copycat version of Baima Yicong is lifelike.
That shopkeeper was also deliberately left alive by Cheng Mu so that he could go back and report the news.
"Haha, that city lord must be in a panic now!"
Guan Hai laughed.
Robbery is really fun to do.
"Don't take it lightly."
Cheng Mu admonished.
"Gongsun Zan's reputation cannot suppress that city lord for too long, we must fight quickly!"
The next task is to take the initiative.
Destroy the Black Dragon Village and catch him by surprise.
If the City Lord's Mansion cannot find the murderer, then the crisis in Tianqi Village will be over.
From Liu Heifeng's words, Cheng Mu learned the location of Heilong Village.
More than 100 kilometers northwest of Tianqi Village, Heilong Village is on Sunset Peak.
Cheng Mu and the others only had to ambush the Black Dragon Village where the bandits must pass, and suddenly break out.
Finally, they counterattacked the Black Dragon Village and eradicated this force in one fell swoop.
The time for the raid is tonight.
Zhuge Liang had predicted that tonight the moon would be bright and the stars would be sparse, and the Big Dipper would be high in the sky.
Under night, it is the best time to send troops.
The 40 sets of armor purchased by Jubao Pavilion have arrived in the afternoon, and the blacksmith shop has also provided 40 high-quality broadswords.
These broadswords were made by Wang Tiechui using the claws of the demon wolf, and their sharpness can be regarded as the best among the best.
The 40-man cavalry has already been assembled.
The cold armor and the cold sword glowed with cold light under the bright moonlight.
The horse's hooves were also covered with cloth.
Zhuge Liang was in the middle of the team.
This time, Cheng Mu wanted to use only 40 cavalry to attack hundreds of bandits in Heilong Village.
