Seeing Lu Su's shy and charming appearance, her red lips were slightly open, full of temptation, Xu Ran almost lost control, lowered her head and kissed her red lips.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Lu Su protested dissatisfied, eyes widened, thinking shyly that Mr. Xu was too bold, there were so many people watching around him.
Dozens of soldiers, headed by Zhang Liu, looked around with interest.
The lips parted for a long time.
Xu Ran reluctantly let go of Lu Su, and the latter threw herself on his chest with a blush on her face. Even through her clothes, Xu Ran could feel Lu Su's hot pretty face.
After taking advantage, Xu Ran got down to business. Xu Ran asked Zhang Liu how many people there were in the city guards in Peng County. Zhang Liu told Xu Ran that there were about two thousand people in the city guards in Peng County.
A county town can be considered a relatively large county town if it can have several thousand city guards.
Peixian County is much further behind than Peng County, and it is estimated that there are only a few hundred city guards.
Xu Ran spent two days in Peng County. He first ordered Zhang Liu to eliminate other corrupt officials in Peng County, exile all the hundreds of soldiers who were loyal to the Qin Dynasty, and then recruited hundreds of people from the common people to join the army.
The number of people remained around two thousand.
"Sir, we have already occupied Peng County. Should we take this opportunity to occupy Xiao County, which is fifty miles away to the east?" Zhang Liu said in front of Xu Ran.
"No need, I have other things to do." Xu Ran shook his head.
Zhang Liu said with some disappointment: "Sir, Xiao County is not much different from our Peng County. The city guard army is about two thousand people. As long as Xiao County is captured, we can double our military strength."
"If you can defeat it, go ahead by yourself," Xu Ran said.
Zhang Liu immediately grimaced.
With his ability, there was no way to capture Xiao County, because the strength of the city guard general in Xiao County was about the same as his, and their military strength was also almost the same.
It's almost enough to give him twice as many troops.
"Although I have shown my hand now, and although I have shocked Zhang Liu, there is no guarantee that Zhang Liu will have different intentions after leaving. Anyway, it seems that Zhang Liu and thousands of soldiers in Zhang Liu can establish their own authority again."
Xu Ran considered it.
"Go down and order the entire army to get ready and set off with me early tomorrow morning to conquer Xiao County." Xu Ran changed the topic and looked at Zhang Liu and said.
"Yes, sir"
Zhang Liu said excitedly, and then left happily.
Xu Ran successfully lived in the county magistrate's mansion. The county magistrate's wives, concubines and family members were evicted from the mansion, but the servants were not evicted.
While eating, Lu Su looked at Xu Ran with admiration, thinking that his father had indeed seen the right person. Mr. Xu had easily conquered Peng County with only his own strength.
From being alone, there were two thousand troops in an instant, and hundreds of thousands of silver were also seized.
"Why, are there flowers on my face?" Seeing that Lu Su kept staring at him, his thoughts seemed to be drifting away, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and asked aloud.
"No, no" Lu Su turned around and stuck out his tongue.
When Xu Ran saw the latter's appearance, he knew that this girl was in love with spring. You must know that women in ancient times worshiped heroes very much, so he conquered Peng County.
It must have left an indelible impression in Lu Su's heart, so this girl should admire herself very much at this moment.
"Master Xu is going to attack Xiao County tomorrow, so be careful," Lu Su said softly from the side, tenderly serving Xu Ran some food.
"Don't worry, Su Su. With my ability, it won't be a matter of minutes to capture Xiao County." Xu Ran smiled lightly, with an undoubted domineering tone in his tone.
Stand up!
Zhang Liu gathered two thousand men and horses and was already waiting outside Peng County City. Looking at the dark crowd of soldiers, Xu Ran also felt a sense of pride in his heart.
He has thousands of subordinates.
"Let's go" Xu Ran ordered.
Zhang Liu had already prepared horses for Xu Ran. Xu Ran got on his horse, followed by dozens of people on horseback, while the rest were behind.
Peng County is only a few dozen miles away from Xiao County. We marched in the morning and arrived at noon. However, we did not attack immediately. Instead, we stationed the soldiers one mile away from Xiao County to rest.
"All officers and men listen to the order and rest for a while before attacking Xiao County." Zhang Liu issued the order.
Xu Ran smiled beside him, saying that the attack on Xiao County was his own business, while Zhang Liu and the two thousand soldiers were just here to make soy sauce.
The reason why they all came was just so that I could establish my authority in front of them.
"Sir, there is a group of thousands of troops outside, stationed outside our city, and they seem to be attacking us." At the same time, the city guards in Xiao County had discovered this group of troops and reported it to the generals who defended the city in Xiao County.
.
The general who defended the city in Xiao County was a middle-aged man with a beard and sharp eyes. After hearing this, he said: "Let's go and have a look."
Then he ordered his adjutant to worry about all the city guards in Xiao County.
After arriving at the city wall, we saw a dark mass of soldiers a few hundred meters away. The brows of the generals who defended the city were condensed into the word "Chuan".
"The leader is Zhang Liuba, the general who defended the city in Peng County," said the general who defended the city in Xiao County.
Xiaoxian and Pengxian are dozens of miles apart, but officials from both sides have little contact.
However, both sides know each other's names.
"Well, it is said that the magistrate of Peng County was killed two days ago, and all his close associates were killed. Zhang Liu took refuge with the man who killed the magistrate," the adjutant next to him explained.
"It seems that Zhang Liu has betrayed His Majesty." The general who defended the city in Xiao County felt very heavy.
"Sir, what should we do?" the adjutant next to him asked.
"What to do, of course, we must defend Xiao County. At the same time, we will send a letter to the governor of Sishui County, explaining the news that Peng County has rebelled, and lead an army to encircle and suppress it," said the general who defended the city.
"Sir, now the county governor is leading the army to encircle and suppress Chen Sheng. Wu Guang and other rebels have no troops to assist us," the adjutant next to him said cautiously.
"Forget it, let's just rely on ourselves. Our city guards in Xiao County are no worse than those in Peng County. They want to capture our Xiao County. It's just a dream," the general who defended the city in Xiao County said coldly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Liu led the army to a place less than fifty meters away from the Xiaoxian city wall and looked above.
"Zhang Liu, you are so brave. You dare to betray His Majesty. You deserve to die." When the general of the defense of Xiao County saw that the leader of the team was indeed the general of the defense of Peng County, he shouted sharply.
Zhang Liu said righteously: "Today, your Majesty is fatuous and cruel, and Qin's laws are harsh. The people are suffering from Qin, and the people are in dire straits. However, I, Zhang Liu, cannot stand what your Majesty has done. Now I follow the wise king Xu, overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and restore the people."
A peaceful country and a peaceful people."
Xu Ran, who was on the side, rolled his eyes. He didn't expect Zhang Liuyijie, a martial artist, to be able to say such elegant words. What kind of wise king is King Xu?
