Chapter 149: Action (7) [Please ask for monthly votes]


    Two days ago.


    The governor of Sibao County held a banquet to entertain the two brothers Zhai Huan.


    The banquet was in full swing, and he gave a big gift solemnly that Zhai Le was so shocked that he could stand up and waved his hands repeatedly: "If you can''t do it, why should you give such a big gift? If you can get the trust of the Lord, you should do your best to **** the tax silver safely."


    Although Zhai Huan did not stand up, he bowed his hand, lowered his posture, rejected the county magistrate''s great gift, and Yan Ming would do his best to cooperate.


    The county magistrate received the promise from the two brothers, so he felt a little relieved.


    At the banquet, he also introduced another person to the two brothers - this man was the county magistrate and was also one of the commanders who led thousands of troops near Xiaocheng. He will lead a thousand elite troops in this mission and cooperate with the two brothers Zhai Huan to carry out the mission.


    This commander was born tall and big, with a slightly dark complexion.


    The national face, beard, thick eyebrows, majestic black eyes, and a slightly upright pupil, looking a little unkindly arrogant.


    I don’t know if it’s because of emotions or because he was born with a stubborn and fierce look, but his first impression was that he was not very friendly.


    Even if the county magistrate enthusiastically introduced the three of them to know each other, he was lukewarm and did not respond casually. He spoke even more with a word of gold, either "um" or "oh" or "long-term reverence". Patients with social cattle syndrome like Zhai Le couldn''t help but want to leave him where he ejaculated.


    The county magistrate became cold after a while.


    until-


    The county magistrate hinted that he was headed by Zhai Le, and his face became gloomy in the middle of the Chinese character, which made him look old, but it was not easy to have an attack on the spot.


    This is completely unreasonable!


    Zhai Le and the other two are not local people and cannot be trusted.


    One is barely weak and the other is still stinky. These two young children are not as old as him. Even though they are talented, they lack experience and are not familiar with other soldiers at all. Once they encounter the enemy, command and dispatch will be a big problem.


    How can you compare with yourself?


    Humph, did he actually help him?


    Now this county magistrate is simply crazy!


    The tax and banking affairs are really good, but for such a big battle, what are the real and fake teams that are not allowed to be fooled, and the garrison forces are divided. Once there is civil turmoil or other enemy situations, he is afraid he can''t even defend himself, and he becomes more and more dissatisfied.


    Of course, he knew it in his heart.


    Because he was once a confidant of the former county magistrate and often sang opposite tunes, the current county magistrate disliked him very much. In recent years, I have been asking for trouble for him if I have something to do, so I obviously deliberately tried to torture him.


    This time it was even more excessive and directly stomped on his face to the ground.


    Zhai Le''s scalp was numb after hearing the county magistrate''s words.


    Hurriedly got up and refused.


    It’s okay to help, but it’s okay to use the right to make decisions and command troops.


    This is not a good thing, it’s just a hatred!


    The county magistrate doesn’t think there is any problem.


    Those who are capable will live in it!


    This lieutenant has never made a mistake in office for several years, but he has never made a contribution. To put it bluntly, it is mediocre! He is slim in his work, and hesitant in his personality. He is okay in training, but he makes less decisive in his decisions. After thirty years, my cultivation will not improve.


    If it weren''t for the fact that no one was available...


    Humph, the county magistrate wouldn''t even think of him.


    In contrast, Zhai Le is a seventh-class doctor at a young age. Looking at her tender face, but her words and deeds showed that she was a decisive cousin Zhai Huan, who had tacit cooperation. If you are willing to take over the command and your actions are not restricted, it is obviously much better than this old guy who is squatting in the pit and not pulling shit.


    Since neither side wants it, it is difficult for him to force it.


    However, his thrust into the game still made the Duke feel dissatisfied with Zhai Le and the other two, and he unilaterally formed a bond.


    The county magistrate general looked in his eyes and snorted coldly.


    The banquet will be held on the second day.


    The county magistrate not only released more than a dozen fake news, but also created a team of four fakes and one real five tax and silver, starting from different times and locations respectively. Each route is different, but the team configuration is roughly the same.


    Zhai Le heard the news at first.


    Out of professional instinct, he frowned and calculated the strength of the troops.


    "Hiss-one branch is one thousand, five branches are five thousand. Although Xiaocheng is the prefecture of the Four Treasure County, the scale of the troops garrison is much larger than that of ordinary areas, it will never exceed 20,000. Conservatively estimated that it is only about 10,000. This is not..."


    The county magistrate probably also considered this issue, so he staggered the departure time of the five teams.


    As long as the tax bank can be successfully delivered to the waterway, it will be basically safe and the spent troops can return. It takes about ten days to go back and forth, and every other day, a thousand troops will come back. The military strength of Xiaocheng will be weaker than usual, but it will not be much weaker.


    The most important thing is—


    Only one team is real, and the other four teams are just pretending. They can return to the support immediately if there is any situation.


    The county magistrate''s small abacus was also crackling.


    Zhai Le subconsciously thought of the riots in Lingzhou nearby.


    This news...


    The county magistrate should know, right?


    He thought uncertainly, thinking in a daze. His cousin slapped his shoulder and his thoughts instantly returned to his position.


    “Brother…”


    Zhai Huan rode his horse and walked with him.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Zhai Le said uncertainly: "I''m thinking that Xiaocheng has weak military strength. If a thug appears at this time, wouldn''t it be dangerous?"


    Zhai Huan said: "It''s not impossible."


    In his opinion, it is enough to send two or three hundred people with one escort. After all, the brave warriors in the head can turn into war, and it is too late for ordinary robbers to take a detour. Those who have the ability to rob must also see if this hard bone can be chewed off.


    As a result, one branch sent a thousand troops, as if the county magistrates were sure to have strong force to rob the tax silver... It is intriguing.


    Because they were in a hurry, everyone had to go.


    These thousand soldiers and horses are well-trained, and they don’t complain when they hurry on the road. They set off before dawn. When the sun is at its peak, they find a cool place to rest. After using water and food to replenish their energy, the sun is slightly tilted and continues to go on the road until night falls.


    But the tax-bank vehicle is heavy and the footprint cannot be fast.


    On the first day, I left the East City and the wind was calm.


    On the second day, enter the canyon and the sea will not rise.


    On the third day, I went to the official road...


    The tense people finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    The canyon was most likely to be ambushed. They walked in fear, and they were quite terrified. But after a whole journey passed, the tax-thief robbers they were worried about did not appear. Even the stern lieutenant began to relax his eyebrows.


    Today is only two days left.


    Due to wars in recent years, the population has withered and the political situation is unstable. Even the official roads have not been maintained and renovated. Weeds are overgrown, and many large pieces of gravel block the road, which greatly hinders their speed. This made the captain very irritable, and what was even more annoying was that—


    The scout who was exploring the way forward sent back a bad news.


    Because of heavy rain here a few days ago, a ground slippage caused blocking the way, and it would take at least half a day to clean it up.


    The commander glared at the tiger''s eyes: "Half a day?"


    The scout said in embarrassment: "Yes, the mountain is unstable. If the road is forcibly opened and cleaned with force, it may cause a secondary ground slip."


    The most time-saving way is to take a detour.


    ?|ω?)


    ??Ground sliding: landslide.


    ??The county magistrate and the commander looked at each other as if they were stupid.


    ??PS: The boss''s first unit was blocked for many chapters, just said it was vulgar or astringent... It was a death-making. After revising it twice, it was called back. The heroine is so cold and astringent. Alas... I asked the editor what the problem is.


    ??


    ?
