The county government in Zuli County was not very defensive, but Qin Xiaobai led a hundred elite county cavalry to quickly break through it. After breaking through the county government in Zuli County, Qin Xiaobai immediately issued an order to personally lead thirty soldiers. The elite county cavalry blocked the incoming soldiers in front of the Zuli County Yamen. The remaining seventy elite county cavalry dispersed to attack inside the county government. Officials at all levels under control of Zuli County waited for him to block the enemy troops and then issued the next order. After receiving the order, the seventy elite county cavalrymen who received Qin Xiaobai's orders immediately spread out and drove their black-maned horses directly into the Zuli County Yamen. Qin Xiaobai led twenty of the thirty elite county cavalrymen. He personally led them to charge towards the Zuli County guards who were scattered but not yet gathered together. They were scattered in various places and gathered at the Zuli County Yamen. Qin Xiaobai personally led the twenty elite cavalry. Suddenly, like a black whirlwind, the strong wind Sweeping the fallen leaves, he defeated the soldiers who were divided into several groups and headed towards the giant dragon one by one. The remaining soldiers who gathered here were so frightened that they did not dare to take another half step closer. Some even stepped back in fear. Of course, They were not really escaping. Although they were frightened by Qin Xiaobai's strength, escaping was equivalent to a deserter who would be beheaded. They were still gathering in the distance and waiting for more soldiers to come. After gathering to a certain extent, they would gather together again. After attacking the county government office, Qin Xiaobai ignored the soldiers who fled to the distance. He had no time to pay attention to them now. When he saw the ten elite cavalrymen leaving the government office and building defensive buildings at the door, they had already used the simplicity of the wooden door, gravel and other items to attack them. Most of the yamen is sealed.
So Qin Xiaobai rode back and led 20 elite cavalry into the county government office. He briefly took a look at the gravel board sealed at the door of the government office. He felt that it was still barely strong. After sealing them all, he could resist for a while, but Qin Xiaobai could resist for a while. Bai said it was enough, so Qin Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction and asked twenty elite county cavalry to help seal the county government gate. After sealing, he and the ten county cavalry would defend here. Qin Xiaobai himself Then he drove his horse into the county government office. At this time, half a cup of tea had passed since Qin Xiaobai had just broken through the gate of the county government office. According to Qin Xiaobai's expectation, the county cavalry should have taken control of the county government office, because the county government office There are no strong enemies among them. They are just a group of government servants. It is okay to bully good people, but it is not enough to deal with professional troops. Under his elite county cavalry, they can simply be described as vulnerable, but when Qin Xiaobai Diao After entering the county government office, he found that things were not as he expected. The elite county cavalry had completely taken control of the county government office. There were even sounds of fighting inside. Qin Xiaobai's eyebrows furrowed. He secretly thought that something unexpected could happen, so He immediately rode up to the horse, only to see more than a dozen armed guards and soldiers equipped with heavy armor. While protecting several civil servants trying to break out, the dozen guards and soldiers were not weak, and even in single combat they were superior to the elite county cavalry. However, the county cavalry under Qin Xiaobai were better equipped than them, and they all drove horses. They were strong enough to be guarded by swords and horses, and their number was greater than that of the sword guards. It was not that easy for the guards to break through, but because this was not a grassland. , due to the narrowness of the county government courtyard and the inability to attack, the sword guards could not be defeated immediately.
Qin Xiaobai saw that there were more than ten soldiers guarding him, and there was no ambush as expected. He was relieved. Then he saw that the beacon tower in the county government office had been destroyed. It will attract the soldiers and horses of Quan Zuli County. He only has a hundred soldiers and horses in hand now. The grassland is fine. If the cavalry cannot use its full strength in the Hong Kong battle, it will be difficult to attack. Therefore, he does not want to waste time, so he directly Lifting the armor-breaking silver spear, he asked the county cavalry who were besieging the guards to separate a lane, and drove the Xiliang war horses to rush over. The man borrowed the horse to recognize the horse and borrowed the strength of the man. The indomitable spearmanship of breaking the army came into play, and it suddenly stabbed like a sharp knife. Entering the guard weapons, the guard weapons were originally like an iron tunnel, and the guard was airtight, but Qin Xiaobai's powerful impact quickly broke through, and then the iron cavalry following Qin Xiaobai immediately became like a flood. Pressed forward, the guard sword array, which was as motionless as a rock, suddenly melted like ice and snow meeting boiling water. Just as the old saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. More than a dozen guard swordsmen with high martial arts skills instantly transformed into Qin Xiao The experience points of Bai and all the cavalry present.
Once the guards and soldiers were gone, only the few civil servants they were guarding were left. Each of the civil servants was frightened by Qin Xiaobai and this group of tough bandits, and their faces turned pale. One of them even screamed strangely in fright.
: "Your Majesty, spare your life..." Qin Xiaobai couldn't laugh or cry. The first thing Qin Xiaobai did when he rushed into the county government office was to destroy the beacon tower in Zuli Zhongcheng. What about the second thing? Since he came to the Zuli County government office, of course he couldn't
Let this group of officials go. Of course, Qin Xiaobai is not prepared to kill them all. If he does that, it will only lead the court to send a large army to attack him in advance. Qin Xiaobai's current power is still unbearable, but this group of officials are in hand.
, the benefits of not being old are not enough, and you can't return empty-handed, so Qin Xiaobai decided to kidnap these officials. As an official in a county, even if he relies on buying officials, his politics must not be low. After all, he still knows how to buy
Officials, with a little training, will definitely have the talent for governance, and this is still a border county. If someone really buys an official, they won't buy it here. Presumably most officials are pretty good at politics. Now Wudu Peak is developing rapidly.
During this period, what was lacking was talents, especially internal affairs talents. If so many officials were left untouched, it would be a waste of natural resources, so Qin Xiaobai decided to tie up all these talents for five years.
Dufeng, of course there are always some fat-minded people among the officials. Of course Qin Xiaobai will not keep these people to harm Wudufeng, so let their families pay to redeem them, which is still a profit by the way.
A lot of extra money...
At this time, some cavalry came to Qin Xiaobai to report the situation. All areas of the Zuli County government had been controlled, and officials at all levels in the county government were also under control. These officials were among the highest-ranking officials, so they were guarded by swords.
To protect them from breaking out, Qin Xiaobai nodded and handed down an order for them to continue to strictly control the officials in the county government. At the same time, he sent twenty people to the county government gate to help the brothers guard the county government gate. Then he
Looking at these civil servants who were guarded by swords, they all looked pale. After scanning them one by one, Qin Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw Village Chief Qian among them. Qin Xiaobai's gang
Village Chief Qian bought an official position as the chief registrar of Zuli County. In return, Village Chief Qian drew a map of Zuli County for Qin Xiaobai, and also included the general distribution of troops in Zuli County. At this time, Qian
The village chief looked like he was watching his nose and heart, pretending that he was not Qin Xiaobai, but when Qin Xiaobai saw where Village Chief Qian was standing, he seemed to be at the outermost position among the civil servants. Qian Village
The chief is the chief registrar of Zuli County. In other words, the head of the civil service in Zuli County, even if there is a county magistrate on top, is not ranked beyond the third or fourth place, so the other three people will not be caught.
It was a big fish. So he asked: "Who are you? Is that the county magistrate?"
"Your Excellency... Cao Zhi, Magistrate of Zuli County," a fat man with a wide body and sweating profusely stood up next to Village Chief Qian. He saluted Qin Xiaobai. Qin Xiaobai looked up and saw
I saw that it was a person who was not a guard at the innermost position. He was just a little further inside than Village Chief Qian’s position and belonged to the outer circle. There were two other people inside. Both of them looked like scribes and seemed to have a good temperament.
Extraordinary, but his face was pale at this time, and he felt very inconsistent. Qin Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that a civil servant higher than the county magistrate really had great luck and caught a big fish today? Qin Xiaobai felt this
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a wave of heat in my heart. It was bigger than the county magistrate. He was nothing more than a person at the county level, a county official, a county meritorious official, a county administrator...
Qin Xiaobai's heart became hotter and hotter as he thought about it, and a plan couldn't help but be born in his mind. The two scribes who were surrounded by sword guards saw that Qin Xiaobai didn't speak and just stared at the two of them. He didn't know who Qin Xiaobai was.
He Yiyi suddenly became panicked and spoke quickly one after another to introduce his identity. The identities they mentioned were just two ordinary officials in Zuli County. Qin Xiaobai naturally didn't believe it. If they were ordinary officials, it would be possible.
The reason for being guarded by swords and soldiers was in the center, with the county magistrate and the county administrator on the periphery. However, Qin Xiaobai did not expose it. It was all because of the plan in his heart. He snorted coldly and did not answer.
He just waved his riding whip and asked the county cavalry to push them back to their rooms and keep them under separate custody. After the four of them were escorted back to the county government room, Qin Xiaobai drove the Xiliang war horse for a spin in the front yard of the county government office.
, seeing that fifty soldiers had sealed the gate of the county government office and were waiting for the enemy to attack the county government office, Qin Xiaobai nodded slightly. It seemed that even if those stragglers had gathered a certain number, there were fifty of them.
The elite soldiers defended the sealed county government gate, which could not be easily broken through. Qin Xiaobai then returned to the government office and came to the room where Village Chief Qian was detained. He dismounted and handed the Xiliang war horse to the guard.
In the hands of Village Chief Qian's soldiers, he asked the soldier to guard the door and not let anyone in unless the front yard door was breached to report. Then he entered the room where Village Chief Qian was detained and handed over to Village Chief Qian.
He said: "Village Chief Qian, how are you now?"
"It's safe." Village Chief Qian stood up angrily, his long beard curling up angrily, and said: "I originally thought that you wanted a map of Zuli County's military strength distribution after the Baima Qiang tribe retreated.
, I came to Zuli County to fight against the autumn wind. I didn’t expect you to be here now. Without telling you that you were here, you directly invaded Zuli County. Not only did you invade Zuli County, you actually broke into Zuli County.
Yamen, broke into the Yamen of Zuli County, and you even tied thorns... and tied up us officials. What do you want to do? Do you still want to kill officials? I can tell you if you kill officials and join the rebellion.
If the imperial court sends a large army to attack you, then you will be asking for your own death. With the rabble of Heifeng Mountain, there is no way you can withstand the imperial army."
"Don't worry, Village Chief Qian. I'm not here to see you now to drag you into trouble. And Village Chief Qian knows that you have helped me, so naturally I don't want to kill you. The imperial court has sent a large army to attack me. I
Just take it all together, since it has nothing to do with Village Chief Qian anyway, so why should Village Chief Qian worry?" Qin Xiaobai was neither annoyed nor angry when Village Chief Qian said this, and smiled calmly.
Village Chief Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he became vigilant and asked: "Then why are you coming to me now?" "Nothing, I just want to ask you to do something. I want to elect someone to join Zuli."
The county is an official, I wonder if Village Chief Qian can make it easier?"
Qin Xiaobai replied that he wanted to bring talented Chinese people to Zuli County as officials. This would not only appease the Chinese people and make them more convinced of him, but also help him complete a strategy.
The target is Zuli County. Qin Xiaobai has ambitions. To be precise, it is to protect himself, to survive and return to reality. Then he must have this strength. He has already made strategic arrangements. Then
They shared Xiliang with Han Sui and Ma Teng. The population, economy, ease of defense and difficulty of attacking the counties in Xiliang were all headed by Wuwei, and Wuwei happened to be the birthplace of Qin Xiaobai, the place where he established his power.
Deyue, as long as he occupies Wuwei County, his power will inevitably increase dramatically. Wuwei County has a total of thirteen counties. Among them, Wuwei County, Guzang County, and Zuli County are the most powerful in terms of economy, military, and population.
It is also the most difficult place to capture. Now that there is an opportunity to infiltrate the Chinese people into various officials in Zuli County, Qin Xiaobai will not let go of the foreshadowing. When the time comes to capture Zuli, he can reduce casualties to
It is possible for him to even capture Zuli County without a single blow.
"It's very difficult to become an official in Zuli County. Firstly, you need talented people. Secondly, there is a county magistrate above me now, and thirdly, I need some funds to communicate and manage. Well, that's it.
, at most, you can give some vacant idle positions to the people you recommend, and then grind their qualifications for two more years before you can see if there are more vacancies for them to be promoted. Of course, promotion also requires some financial communication and management.
." Village Chief Qian touched his goatee and said with a troubled look.
"Haha, Village Chief Qian, if you don't tell lies in front of real people, I will make you an offer you can't refuse." Qin Xiaobai said with a smile.
"What? An offer I can't refuse?" Village Chief Qian's eyes shone. He remembered the terms of his contract in Qin Xiaobai's hands. That was his lifeline in Qin Xiaobai's hands. If Qin Xiaobai returned this lifeline,
If you give it to him, then he will have nothing to worry about.
"What do you think of the post of County Magistrate Zuli?" Qin Xiaobai asked with a smile. "What?" Village Chief Qian was shocked. Although Qin Xiaobai didn't give him what he wanted, his words were shocking and thrown away.
A bigger temptation came up. Don't look at the difference between County Magistrate Zuli and the Chief Registrar, but it was a world of difference. This had to make Village Chief Qian not be tempted. It was indeed an offer he couldn't refuse.
"What about Magistrate Cao? What are you going to do?" After the surprise, Village Chief Qian quickly regained his composure. He vaguely guessed what Qin Xiaobai was going to do. Qin Xiaobai did not answer Village Chief Qian, but just smiled.
He just told Village Chief Qian that he would arrange a lot of people, and the official positions he wanted in Zuli County would also have to win important positions. Then he remained silent and waited for Village Chief Qian's answer.
"Okay, I promise you." Village Chief Qian couldn't resist such a huge temptation in the end and agreed to Qin Xiaobai, but then added: "You can kill Magistrate Cao, you can also kill those officials in Zuli County.
, but you must not move the two scribes who were guarded by the guard swords just now." Qin Xiaobai's meaning is very obvious, the position of magistrate of Zuli County is vacant, and Qin Xiaobai also wants Zuli County.
Even if Village Chief Qian really becomes the county magistrate of Zuli County, how can he easily achieve those important positions? But for Qin Xiaobai now, it is easy to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Soon all the positions were vacant, and at this time, some money was used to manage them. As Village Chief Qian was originally the chief bookkeeper, it was easy to become Zuli County Magistrate. When Village Chief Qian became Zuli County Magistrate
After that, it would not be too difficult to place some people with clean backgrounds and decent academic skills to occupy important positions in Zuli County, and we couldn't care less if Village Chief Qian had this idea again.
When Qin Xiaobai saw that Village Chief Qian thought he was going to kill all the officials, he smiled and did not refute. Kidnapping and killing could both make those official positions vacant, but Qin Xiaobai did not need to argue with Qian on these details.
The village chief explained, but Qin Xiaobai caught an important point from Village Chief Qian's mouth. It seemed that the two scribes were really important. Their official positions seemed to be quite high. Judging from Village Chief Qian's appearance,
He must have known, so Qin Xiaobai asked Village Chief Qian: "Who are those two scribes?"
"This..." Village Chief Qian hesitated for a moment, but thinking that he had agreed to Qin Xiaobai, he was getting deeper and deeper into the situation, and he could be regarded as a grasshopper on the same rope as Qin Xiaobai, so he finally said:
"Those two people are Wu Weiling and the governor of Liangzhou respectively."
"Xiliang Governor Geng Bi, Wuwei Ling Cheng Qiu?" Qin Xiaobai was surprised. There are two big bosses in Xiliang now. No wonder the county magistrate Cao Zhi and the county administrator Qian Village Chief were standing by. It turned out that they were like this
Two big guys. Just why did these two big guys come here?
"They saw that the Baima Qiang rebellion in Zuli County was almost calmed down, so they came to do military merit." Village Chief Qian explained.
Qin Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised. No matter what, these two bosses were now in his hands. It was just a matter of how to deal with him. There was no benefit in killing him. Although he was the current boss of Xiliang, he couldn't produce anything.
And if he is killed, it will inevitably lead to a crusade by the imperial army. This is inevitable. There are only thirteen governors in the world. If one of them is killed by bandits, it will be a big mistake. If he is let go.
It would be even more pointless. Just let the big boss get it for free? And if they let it go, these two people will definitely regard this matter as a shame when they go back. The first thing is to destroy Heifeng Mountain. In the words of Guangwuwei County
Heifeng Mountain can still barely resist. If it is the governor of Xiliang who can mobilize the entire Xiliang grain, grass, soldiers and horses, then there is basically no need to mess around.
He couldn't kill him, but he couldn't let him go. Seeing the two delicious bosses turned into two hot potatoes, Qin Xiaobai felt uncomfortable in his heart. Suddenly he glanced and saw Village Chief Qian standing aside, and his heart suddenly moved.
The plan came to mind, so he chuckled and said: "Village Chief Qian, with your talents as village chief, it is still too unfair for a mere county magistrate. I think you will be promoted further."
"What do you mean?" Village Chief Qian felt awe-struck when he saw Qin Xiaobai's smiling face. He didn't know what Qin Xiaobai meant.
"Village Chief Qian, if you can save Xiliang Governor Geng Bi and Wuwei Ling Cheng Qiu from the bandits, it will be a great achievement. If you add a little money to it, it will be compared with your original qualifications as county clerk.
And position, what level do you think you can achieve?" Qin Xiaobai looked at Village Chief Qian with a smile, as if Village Chief Qian's body was made of gold coins and sparkling.
"What do you mean..." Although Village Chief Qian's intelligence attribute is not high, it does not mean that he is pure. He instantly understood what Qin Xiaobai meant. He was surprised, then happy, and quickly replied: "At least he has
A person from Wuwei County is engaged, or he is a meritorious official from Wuwei County."
"That's good." Qin Xiaobai was also overjoyed after hearing this. As he said just now, there are three places in Wuwei County that have the most developed economy, military and population, and are also the most difficult to conquer. They are Wuwei County, Guzang County and
Zuli County, these three places, Zuli County, after such a large-scale kidnapping, and then placed Ruhua people to control important positions, as long as his soldiers are strong enough, they can easily capture these three places.
The most difficult one to conquer is Wuwei County. Its walls are tall and its guards are elite. It can even be called the most in Xiliang. Qin Xiaobai has no confidence in using the Black Wind Bandits to conquer such a tall and majestic Wuwei County.
, Of course, this is not to mention the elite of the Xiliang elite in Wuwei County, the Xiliang Prefecture soldiers. If this army is dispatched, it will really be shocking, let alone the siege, even if it is
It was a plain battle. The tens of thousands of Black Wind Bandits were not enough in front of the Xiliang Prefecture soldiers. Qin Xiaobai had been thinking of taking advantage of the situation. For example, the weapon he controlled could ignite the outbreak of the Qiang uprising.
Jiao's letter, if the Qiang uprising breaks out, Xiliang Prefecture soldiers will definitely be dispatched. At that time, it will be possible to wait for the opportunity to capture Wuwei County in one fell swoop. But now, now that there is an opportunity to corrode the enemy from within, Qin
How could Xiaobai miss it? What is the concept of a county officer? What is the concept of a county meritorious officer? They are the top figures in Wuwei County. If you want to control one of the walls of Wuwei County, it is absolutely a piece of cake. You may even be able to extend your tentacles to
If a few confidants could be placed among the Xiliang Prefecture soldiers, Qin Xiaobai would be able to prosper as long as he controlled part of the 10,000-strong elite cavalry. Just thinking about it makes him drool. As for Village Chief Qian, there is no such thing as
Don't worry that he won't give in when the time comes. The deeper he cooperates with Qin Xiaobai, the deeper Village Chief Qian will naturally fall in. When the time comes, he won't be able to get out even if he wants to.
Submit...
Of course, we are still just thinking about it. What we need to do now is how to get Village Chief Qian to rescue Xiliang Governor Geng Bi and Wuwei Ling Cheng Qiu without leaving any trace. Needless to say, Village Chief Qian is a suppressed person.
After decades of working as a small village chief, he gradually became the mayor of a small town, and suddenly he became the county registrar, and then he became the county magistrate. Now he is expected to surpass the county level official position.
Everyone has to be ambitious. Qin Xiaobai said a few words and village chief Qian couldn't resist the temptation and gave in. Then it became a bit troublesome. He saved Xiliang Governor Geng Bi and Wuwei Ling Cheng Qiu without leaving a trace. He needs to think long term.
After some time, the soldiers were gathering outside. Qin Xiaobai didn't have time to discuss it slowly, so he had a hurried discussion with Village Chief Qian. The situation was probably that there would be pursuers after choosing one.
, and Qin Xiaobai has no time to take into account their timing, and let Village Chief Qian rescue them. The plan is so simple, it doesn’t need to be too complicated, and the current form cannot be complicated. As long as it is used properly, the plan can be saved, even if it is simple.
Under this situation, the governor's face turned pale with fright, but he had no time to think about anything else.
After Qin Xiaobai finished his secret discussion with village chief Qian, he walked out of the room and asked the soldiers in the yamen to escort dozens of officials at all levels out. A Xiliang County cavalryman was responsible for each person, and they were tied to the horse. Then Qin Xiaobai
Xiaobai led them to the front yard and saw that the soldiers in the county town had indeed begun to attack the county government office, and the fifty county cavalry were repairing the government office blockade while resisting the soldiers who were climbing over the wall from outside. Now it seemed
It was quite easy and they were not at a disadvantage. Qin Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, telling them that they no longer needed to repair the blockage and could just stand aside. After half a cup of tea, the blockage in front of the Yamen became more and more serious.
It was weak, with several holes the size of fists appearing. At this time, Qin Xiaobai personally led the county cavalry to break through the blockade. The blockade was strong on the outside but relatively fragile on the inside. Now that it had been consumed by the attacks of the soldiers outside, it was natural that it could be broken through.
Suddenly, sawdust and gravel flew all over the sky. Qin Xiaobai led his cavalry to pour out like a torrent, easily breaking through the stunned soldiers and breaking through.
Seeing that the blockade in Zuli County was about to be broken, the hundreds of soldiers gathered here were really excited and excited. It was a great achievement to rescue the officials. But before their excitement was over, the surprising result was that the people inside
It unexpectedly rushed out and attacked them head-on. It instantly broke through their undefended defense line and allowed them to break out. They were stunned and couldn't react. They were stunned for a while. After reacting,
Seeing that the people had left, they immediately screamed in anger, beat their chests and feet, and some soldiers who were unwilling to give up ran into the county government office to see if all the gentlemen were okay, but all they saw was an empty county government office.
, all the officials in Zuli County were kidnapped, which made the big-headed soldiers' eyes wide open... (To be continued...)
