Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Putting on a tiger skin cloak, Liu Qi watched the soldiers sweeping the battlefield cheerfully, imagining that he would be in charge of Xinye tonight, and felt a sense of joy in his heart as he gave advice and reprimanded Fang Qiu.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and Liu Qi suddenly remembered what the thieves had said, that the Xinye county government had been controlled by the bandit Du Chang, who beheaded his horse. It is impossible to enter the city, and it is not realistic to attack the city with two hundred soldiers. This is a very tricky thing.

Liu Qi instructs Huan'er to take Huang Wudie back to the luxurious carriage for a rest, and the bandaged ape will happily follow behind Huan'er, and orders Wen Dai to protect the maids and ladies in the mansion.

The four guards, Chen Chun, Chen Xia, Chen Qiu, and Chen Dong, were on guard five steps away from Liu Qi. The four guards would ensure that Liu Qi would not be attacked. Take charge of the danger in the east, Chen Xia in charge of the south, Chen Qiu in charge of the west, and Chen Dong in charge of the north, so as to be protected on all sides, keep the armor on your body, keep your sword in your hand, and keep attacking at any time to subdue attacks from all directions Enemy or Assassin.

With Chen Chun and other four guards as professional security guards, Liu Qi basically didn't have to worry about his own safety. After Huang Wudie and Huan'er got into the carriage, Liu Qi called Chen Wen to the side, expressed his worries, and discussed with Chen Wen Should I go into town tonight?

This is a difficult problem. Nine times out of ten Xinye City is occupied by bandits. If they force their way into the city, there may be casualties.If he doesn't enter the city, the new county magistrate Liu Qi is blocked by bandits outside the city and dare not enter the city to spread the word. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Chen Wenlue thought for a while, and said: "Young master, I think the morale of the soldiers is high, and they can reach Xinye in more than half an hour after a quick march. I have a plan. I wonder if it is possible?"

"Brother Wen, it's okay to talk."

"Pick off the corpses of the robbers, use the eight fast horses of the carriage, pick up eight strong warriors, carry the "Du" flag, pretend to be Du Chang's thieves and enter the city, quickly control the city gate, and the soldiers will be bloodless .”

Liu Qi said happily: "Brother Wen's words are exactly what I want. Order General Wu to lead the team and choose eight warriors to act as thieves to pretend to open the city gate and enter Xinye tonight."

"Yes, son." Chen Wen was complacent because his suggestion was adopted, and his wisdom flashed frequently. "At this moment, you can go to the village and ask the villagers about the situation in the city to confirm whether the rioters are controlling the city, and how many officers and soldiers there are in the city?"

"Okay, I'll go to the city with Brother Wen." Liu Qi wanted to ask, what should I do if the guards at the city gate see through and pretend to enter the city?Seeing Chen Wen's excited look, he didn't want to dampen Chen Wen's interest. Without asking, he entered the village with Chen Wen happily, thinking in his heart that if he cheated the city, how could he enter Xinye County tonight?

Walking to Chen Wu's side, Chen Wen confessed that Chen Wu pretended to be a thieves and entered the city. Xingbu and Liu Qi walked towards the entrance of the village. Follow closely.

The village is lifeless, and the mud-built thatched-roof houses of the villagers are tightly closed. Except for a few pheasants jumping and barking occasionally, there seems to be no one. When the thieves entered the village, they saw many people running around and shouting It is very abnormal that the officers and soldiers killed the thief, but no one came out to meet him.

Liu Qi came to the village with Chen Wen in bewilderment, knocked on several doors from house to house, and found that the door was locked inwards. Naturally, there were people in the house, and they did not answer or open the door, which made Liu Qi very depressed.

Chen Wu told the soldiers to take off the thieves' clothes, and hurriedly followed Liu Qi into the village. Seeing that every household refused to open the door to Young Master Liu Qi, he suddenly became angry and couldn't help saying: "Young Master, kick."

When Liu Qi saw Chen Wu coming, why didn't he kick the villagers' houses away, but he just endured the attack because he thought it would be unseemly for the county magistrate to kick people's houses.

Liu Qi murmured in his heart that these villagers were too ignorant of good and bad. If Liu Qi hadn't distracted the thief when the thief entered the village, and led the guards to kill him, the villagers might have survived under the ravages of the thief. Not a few.

"General Wu, you can't." Chen Wen stroked his long beard habitually, and explained: "Young master is the county magistrate for the first time, and his image is related to his future. Love the people and be obedient, abuse the people and rebel, the villagers dare not open the door, There must be seesaws, there is no need to worry about it."

In Chen Wen's words, when it comes to Liu Qi's face is hot, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, he didn't kick the door open, otherwise the famous name of the rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I will be ruined by anger. Make a big deal?" It makes sense.

"What brother Wen said is very true, the people's will is determined by the world. The people's heart is like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it; serving an official will benefit one party, and the way to be an official is to obey the government." Liu Qi He made a lot of remarks, and then analyzed the situation, "The villagers dare not open the door. It seems strange, but after thinking about it, it is also reasonable."

Chen Wen nodded, picked up Liu Qi's words, and said: "Young master's words are the words of sages. I think there are two strange things about the villagers. One is that they are afraid of being disturbed by mountain bandits; the other is that they don't know that young master is a teacher of justice. Confused."

Liu Qi looked back at the village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain where the villagers couldn't tell the good from the bad again, and sighed: "Let's go, I just want to ask the villagers about the situation in the city, but I didn't expect the villagers to be like ghosts, afraid of thieves and bandits. It's gone to the bottom of my heart. We officers and soldiers don't need to disturb the people, and they are not allowed to disturb the people in the future. After I take over Xinye, Brother Wen must give these villagers a good life and publicize that I am the master of the people for the people, not a domineering of."

"Yes, my son is benevolent and righteous, and he is also a blessing to all the people." Chen Wen replied, for the benevolence and righteousness of the righteous brother Liu Qi, the timidity of the villagers is nothing to worry about.

Liu Qi walked out of the village with Chen Wen and Chen Wu with some regrets. Seeing that the soldiers had stripped away the thieves' outfits of Du Chang and others, he ordered Chen Wu to call all the soldiers to dig a big hole on the ridge next to them, The corpse of the thieves was buried on the spot.

With a large number of people and strong strength, it didn't take much time for two hundred soldiers to dig a big pit. After throwing all the thieves' corpses into the pit, Liu Qi ordered Chen Wen to do a simple mourning, pushed the soil in, and piled up a new grave Bao, he led all the generals and soldiers to go to the new field.

After burying the corpses of fifty or sixty thieves, it was already dark, and the soldiers lit pine nut torches for illumination.

The night wind was chilly, and half of the crescent moon hung alone on the tip of the plum tree in the sky. Occasionally, a few scattered dim stars accompanied the moon. Judging by the stars and moon, Liu Qi felt that this time should be the Yuan Dynasty in 191 AD. It’s month, it should be the Lunar New Year coming soon, but judging from the villages and people I saw along the way into Xinye City, I can’t see the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year. In the year of death, there is not enough food, and famine is everywhere , soldiers and bandits, diseases, which ordinary people still think about celebrating the New Year?

Chen Wu led eight strong men who had already changed into thieves' outfits and set up the dilapidated "Du" flag, waiting for Liu Qi's order to pretend to be thieves and cheat into the city at night. Hobbling forward with a lantern in hand, a young strong man supported the old man along the way. The old man's old voice came from the wind: "The official stays, the official stays."

Liu Qi saw an old man and a young man staggering towards them in the night, so he stepped forward. Chen Chun and the other four guards would still keep a five-step security distance and move with Liu Qi's footsteps in the night to prevent accidents. Which of the villagers on the outskirts of the city is not an assassin?

When the old and the young came to Liu Qi's team, Fang saw that Chen Wu and other thieves were dressed up, and there was a broken "Du" flag fluttering in the wind. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran away in fright.

"Grandpa, please stay. Grandpa, please stay." Seeing this, Liu Qi rushed forward, and understood that the old man was terrified when he saw Chen Wu and the other eight knights' thieves and thought that the thieves were not dead.

Hearing that Liu Qi's voice was not violent, the old man stopped and waited in fear for Liu Qi, Chen Wen and several generals to greet him.

Liu Qi approached and saw that the old man looked terrified, while the young man supporting the old man had bright eyes, no fear, and a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Liu Qi stepped forward to salute, and reported to his family: "Grandpa was shocked. I am Liu Qi, the new commander of the new field. I was ordered by the governor of Jingzhou to suppress the bandits Anmin. On the way, I met a group of thieves who wanted to enter the village to do evil, so I just wiped them out. "

Seeing that the old man was still looking at Chen Wu and other soldiers dressed up as thieves in fear, Liu Qi said again: "These are my soldiers. They want to pretend to be thieves and open the city gate. It is a last resort to attack the city at night for fear of injuring the soldiers and disturbing the people. That. Don’t be alarmed, grandpa.”

As soon as the old man heard this, his face became more comfortable, and he was about to bow down tremblingly, "This old man has no eyes and no pearls. He didn't know that the county magistrate came here. He deserves death."

Liu Qi hurriedly supported him: "Grandpa, you don't need to be polite. Just now, the soldiers and I entered the village and knocked on the door. We didn't do anything else. We just wanted to find out what's going on in the city. I didn't expect the villagers to be too afraid of the bandits, so no one opened the door. Alas."

"I have offended you so much, I hope the magistrate will forgive you." The old man straightened up a little, "It is true that as magistrate Liu said, the villagers are too afraid of bandits and have been robbed by bandits several times. They are afraid of soldiers and bandits. .”

Chen Wen answered from the side: "Grandpa, you don't have to be afraid from now on. County magistrate Liu is the eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou. Regardless of the danger, the young master stepped forward and led the thieves away."

"Ah, Eldest Young Master, high official, blue sky." The old man panicked, Jingzhou Biejia's reputation is really not small, when he heard that the eldest son of Jingzhou Inspector had come to suppress bandits in person, the eyes of the young man who supported the old man couldn't help but brighten.

But I saw the old man bursting into tears, "I saw the scene of the eldest son stepping forward, and this old man saw the eldest son burying the corpse of the thieves. He didn't hold any hatred and treated the dead kindly. Then he knows that the eldest son is compassionate and a good county for the people." Ling is also a blessing for the people of Xinye."

Liu Qi stood quietly by the side, unable to bear to interrupt the old man expressing his feelings. After praising Liu Qi, the old man intermittently explained the recent situation in the city. It turned out that a group of defeated bandits came from the north not long ago and suddenly charged Entered the small county of Xinye, which was not well-prepared, violently killed the county magistrate, took control of the county seat by force, and forcibly conscripted civilian husbands to guard the city. There are also thieves and bandits. In the village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain where the old man lives, many young and strong men have taken refuge in Xiangyang, and the fields are barren.

After listening to the old man's narration, the situation in Xinye County was similar to what Liu Qi estimated, but he was worried about what the old man said that all the young and strong men in the village had taken refuge in Xiangyang.Where is the source of troops?

Different from Liu Qi's idea, Chen Wen was interested in the young people supporting the elderly, and asked, "This strong man, all the young and strong have taken refuge in Xiangyang, why do you stay in the village?"

The young man was calm and calm, and replied: "There are old people in the family, it is not suitable to travel far. How can Xiangyang be safe for a long time when soldiers and bandits are in disorder? I hate the muddy world, and it is rare to meet people who are clean."

The young man's answer moved Liu Qi's heart. He looked straight into the young man's sharp eyes and asked, "What a loyal and filial man, how dare you ask a strong man his name?"

Seeing the excited expression on the county magistrate Liu Qi's face, the young man's heart was also moved, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord Deng Zhi."
