No one expected that Xue Pan, the stupid overlord, would suddenly go berserk, or that he would not give face to the local powerful people in Xishan...
Angrily, he rushed to the city where his younger brother was beaten, and suddenly found that the local garrison wanted to let the large caravan leave.
Suddenly angry...
Without saying a word, he directly detained the general of the garrison and at the same time personally led the team directly into the camp of the large caravan!
What people never expected was that this large caravan actually hid dozens of prairie barbarian knights, causing certain casualties to Xue Pan's guards.
But that’s it…
Xue Pan's bodyguards might have been like that five years ago, almost the same as the bodyguards of servants raised by powerful families.
But the guards of the Xue family have been following Jia Cong for the past five years.
No matter where Jia Cong is, they all follow him together with the boss Xue Pan.
As time went by, I naturally received guidance from Jia Cong...
Whether it was the guidance of Master Huajin or Master Danjin, it was extremely helpful in improving the strength of Xue Pan's guards.
Naturally, they cannot compare with ruthless people like Wangcai who have passed down the systematic martial arts inheritance, but the best among them all have Ming Jin strength, and the martial arts of ordinary guards are also quite powerful.
In this conflict, they suddenly encountered dozens of prairie barbarian cavalry. They were caught off guard at first, and several guards of average strength were killed on the spot.
But when the rest of the Xue family guards reacted, they easily dispatched this group of prairie barbarian cavalry without spending much energy at all.
If it were a large-scale cavalry charge, they would definitely be no match!
But in small-scale conflicts, the Xue family's guards and one can defeat three or five barbarian cavalry, that's it!
Originally, Xue Pan had no intention of targeting this large caravan, but now...
If you dare to harbor barbarian cavalry and kill or injure the Xue family's guards, you can't bear it anymore and directly capture this Jinyang Lin family's caravan.
Then, Xue Pan was surprised to find that among the goods carried by the caravan, there were actually a lot of grain and ordnance...
No matter how dim his mind was, Xue Pan knew something was wrong and immediately detained all the members of the caravan and killed anyone who dared to resist!
Killing a dozen dissatisfied clerks and shopkeepers in one breath. In front of Xue Linlin's blade, the bullshit Jinyang Lin family has no deterrent power at all.
There were still some talents among the guards under Xue Pan, or there was no shortage of means in the world, so they immediately began to interrogate the caravan's senior management.
At the same time, Xue Pan did not forget to send someone back to report the news as soon as possible.
Now, when one hundred thousand prairie barbarian cavalry are attacking, the Jinyang Lin family's large caravan actually dares to carry a large amount of food and ordnance supplies, pretending to be out of customs and trading with the barbarians. This is to support the enemy!
…
Capitalize on the enemy!
In the flower hall in the backyard of the governor's yamen, Lin Ruhai's face was sinking like water, his eyes were shining with a stern tone: "At this critical moment, what do the Jinyang Lin family want to do?"
"What else can you do?"
Jia Cong sneered: "Are you taking this opportunity to make a fortune from war?"
The news from Xue Pan came very quickly, and he informed Lin Ruhai immediately.
The strange thing is that Lin Ruhai did not burst into thunderous rage, but just sighed helplessly, and then summoned a group of staff to discuss the matter.
As for the Chief Envoy, the Inspector General, or both the Commander-in-Chief, I can't trust them all at the moment.
A group of staff members circulated the information urgently sent by Xue Pan, and all of them looked solemn and speechless.
Although I knew that the powerful local factions here in Xishan were rampant, I really didn’t expect them to be so rampant!
The Frontier Army Prefecture is still fighting with a hundred thousand aggressive prairie barbarian cavalry. The so-called Jinyang tyrants here dare to do business with the prairie barbarians in an open and honest manner, and even dare to provide precious food and more important ordnance supplies!
If we really want to take it seriously, the Jinyang Lin family is called collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it is definitely a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family.
Can……
Judging from the carefree and upright demeanor of the Lin family caravan, it is obvious that such things are commonplace in Xishan.
This is very frustrating. If the Lin family is specifically targeted, wouldn't it cause a strong backlash from the entire Xishan local tycoon?
At this time, there were 100,000 prairie barbarian cavalry outside the frontier fortress, watching with eager eyes!
If there is chaos within Xishan, wouldn't it be in vain that we benefit from those barbarians?
"What do you think?"
Lin Ruhai didn't look very good, but he didn't blame Jia Cong for speaking strangely. This kid had such a bad temper, and he spoke very unpleasantly to situations he couldn't stand.
"Dong Weng, now is not the time to pursue the case!"
"But we can't let it go easily. The Lin family of Jinyang must give it a beating and warn them not to continue doing business with the barbarians outside the Great Wall!"
"And send people to secretly investigate to see how many such caravans there are. To what extent are they connected with the barbarians?"
"The key is not to affect the logistics of the military state. Now is really not a good time to fall out. After the 100,000 prairie barbarian cavalry are repulsed, it will not be too late to deal with it slowly!"
All the staff spoke one after another, and what they said were relatively reliable suggestions...
However, it is obvious that these staff are accustomed to the way of doing things in the interior of Daqing, so most of them suggest postponing the elimination of local powerful factions.
Unfortunately, this is the frontier...
The governor's office plans to settle accounts after the fall, will the Jinyang Lin family obey?
Don't dream, I'm afraid there will be a sudden and fierce counterattack, and there may even be extremely tragic and bloody conflicts.
However, Jia Cong did not speak out rashly, so he had to give these staff some face.
After these aides left, he shook his head and said: "Zhang Yue, I guess it's hard to be good, so it's better to prepare for the worst!"
Lin Ruhai was a little surprised and didn't believe it: "Have we already reached this point?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
Jia Cong said calmly: "The Lin family of Jinyang dares to blatantly transport grain, grass and ordnance to the grassland, what else can't they do?"
"Then, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Lin Ruhai's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed and asked: "You can't be the first to strike first, right? The teacher is unknown!"
"Then wait for the other party to make the first move!"
Jia Cong said calmly: "I would like to see how courageous these Xishan tycoons are?"
"Are you sure you can clean it up?"
Lin Ruhai was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Don't be too careless and get yourself involved, otherwise you will lose more than you gain!"
"no problem!"
Jia Cong grinned lightly and didn't pay attention to the so-called Xishan tycoon at all.
At this time, the sensing range of his mental power was extremely large, and the entire governor's office, including one or two nearby streets, was within the detection range of his mental power.
As it happens, the Lin family's residence in Jinyang is not far from the governor's office, only separated by a street, and it happens to be within the sensing range of his mental power.
I couldn't hear the voices and content of the words clearly, but I could understand their actions.
Having such precautions is enough...
…
"It's too much to bully others, it's simply too much to bully others!"
In the study room in the main courtyard of the Lin family's residence in Jinyang, the head of the Lin family was furious. He had received information about what happened in the frontier city.
I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and looked ferocious...
"Master, what should we do next?"
"Deploy enough manpower immediately to kill all those who dare to offend the Lin family!"
"But those people are using the banner of the governor's office..."
"So what, he's just a governor of Xishan, there's no need to worry!"
"Sir, why don't you contact that gang of barbarian cavalry who have sneaked into Xishan?"
"They have no fixed address, can you contact them?"
"Why don't you give it a try? It's better for us not to do it ourselves. We can just use the borrowed knife to kill people. There is no need to confront the governor head-on!"
"Then do as you wish. Those guys who dare to offend the Lin family must be driven out and killed!"
"Don't worry, sir, I will never let these guys return to Jinyang alive!"
The man dressed as a butler went out, and then quickly sent out capable men out of the city, but he did not know that there was already an dark power master quietly accompanying him behind him.
It's so bold...
That night, Jia Cong received an accurate report that there was a group of barbarian cavalry hiding near Jinyang, numbering about two to three hundred, hidden in a private valley owned by a powerful man somewhere.
Tsk, he didn’t even know what to say. The local tycoons in Xishan who were obviously closely related to the barbarians were not just one family or two families...
There was nothing to be polite about. Jia Cong asked Wangcai, who had just returned, to sit in the governor's office. He personally took some of the governor's soldiers and a group of Jinyang garrison soldiers to quietly leave the city and ambush somewhere between two mountains.
In the mountains and forests.
Xue Pan got the news immediately, his eyes were red with anger and murderous thoughts were running through his heart, so he naturally agreed to cooperate with the boss's actions.
Then, when Xue Pan swaggered into the long and narrow valley with his "captives", nearly three hundred barbarian cavalry roared in and came fiercely from the other side of the valley.
Boom!
There was a loud thunder in the sky, and dark clouds rolled in. Within a moment, it was completely dark.
Then strong winds mixed with torrential rain poured down, instantly turning the three hundred barbarian cavalry who rushed out into a drowned man, making it almost difficult to see.
Everyone, including Jia Cong, was stunned and overwhelmed by the sudden changes in the celestial phenomena.
Click!
At this moment, a bolt of silver lightning roared down, instantly knocking down a big tree and falling straight to the ground, blocking the retreat of the three hundred barbarian cavalry.
What happened next left the three hundred completely bewildered barbarian cavalry at a loss...
The long and narrow valley soon became muddy, and as the water level increased rapidly, the three hundred barbarian cavalry were completely in disarray.
But before half a cup of tea, the downpour suddenly stopped, and the fiery red sun appeared in the sky again. However, at this time, the three hundred barbarian cavalry had completely lost their combat effectiveness.
Xue Pan was overjoyed when he saw it. He hurriedly called to his subordinates and roared: "Follow me and go up to capture the prisoners..."
Naturally, Jia Cong was not polite. He stood up suddenly and waved his hand. The officers and soldiers following him rushed down the hillside like a tide. Soon, the group of desperate barbarian cavalry were captured...
