The backyard of the county government, the library of the side hall.

In this elegant study room, a stove next to it burns, the charcoal in the stove is red, the light smoke curls, and the hot gas evaporates out, dispelling the chill in the wing room, making the people in the wing room feel quite warm.

Cai Tu heard Mu Jing say this, he was not polite, he raised the wine cup and took a sip of warm wine, the hot liquid entered his throat, stretched his limbs, dispelled a lot of fear between life and death in his heart, and made him feel a lot more energetic.

Then he slowly raised his head, and glanced at the young man sitting opposite him with a strange look.

This tall and good-looking but very delicate young man is just wearing a simple cloth shirt, and there are a few patches between the cloth clothes, but he is very neat, he should be quite careful about his appearance, and there is a temperament inside and out that makes him unable to regard him as a teenager.

"Mu Shao is in charge, now this official is a prisoner of your ranks, life and death are manipulated in your hands, with Mu Yuanzhong's hatred for this official, the life of the official with a knife, it is a normal thing, but Mu Shao's family treats this official so well, you have something to ask for?"

He decided to test Mu Jing's intentions first.

He is not a fool, Jingzhou Cai's family is a family based on hundreds of years, there are many branch concierges, and countless children have been cultivated, including many talented people, he can stand out from a concubine, and achieve the position of a parent official, and have his own survival wisdom.

Before, he was only frightened by the sudden danger and the threat of death, and he was somewhat unable to come back to his senses, but now he has begun to gradually calm down.

He thought about it, if Mu Shan wanted to kill him, there was no need to be so troublesome.

Since they didn't want to kill him, then Mushan and the others must have wanted something from him.

Naturally, he wanted to survive.

But he also has his own bottom line, which is impossible to cross, so when he faced the young Mujing, he also began to be extremely cautious.

"The prefectural commander is really shrewd!"

Mu Jing's eyes looked at the wine in his wine cup, most of the wine in this era is grain wine, the degree is not high, it is not strong to drink, and there is a strange taste, he doesn't like it very much, but in order to warm his body, he still took a sip, and then said: "In fact, my father and the county commander have no personal enmity, when the Yellow Turban Uprising, swept the world, the battle of Wuyin, we each have their masters, the battlefield clashed, life and death, we lost no wonder the county commander, and today we ambushed the county commander with a strategy, In fact, it is also a last resort, this autumn, the soldiers and horses of the county guard are exhausted, and the thieves are everywhere, and we have not been able to intercept half of the grain in the autumn and winter season, and the food is short, and the cold winter wax moon, frozen to death, starvation, countless, in order to survive, can only take the risk of this strategy, if there is any offense, please forgive me! ”

His purpose is to negotiate with Cai Tu, the so-called negotiation is to talk between the two sides, and then make a judgment on whether the two sides shake hands and cooperate sincerely, or break up with each other and do not interact with each other.

The skills of negotiation, Mu Jing, a genius businessman, is still very good at it.

When it's time to be aggressive, you have to be strong.

But when it's time to show weakness, you must not be strong.

At the beginning of his current game, he must get Cai Tu's sympathy, so that he can continue to talk, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about it easily, the price of the collapse Cai Tu will die, and they will continue to go into exile, which is a price they can't afford.

"Do you know that there are more than 1,000 old and weak women and children on our mountain, what do they eat every day?"

"At first, it was wild fruits and wild vegetables, but then even the wild vegetables and wild fruits on the mountain were picked, and we could only eat the bark!"

"Later, even the bark was eaten!"

"We began to starve to death, every day people will freeze to death, starve to death, we have no quilt, shivering in the cold, old people, small children, their bodies can't bear the cold at all, under the pressure of hunger and cold, many people died!"

“……”

Mu Jing is in a period of voice change, and his voice is crisp with a hint of hoarseness, constantly echoing in the elegant library.

Cai Tu's eyes were slightly red.

He had to admit that his heart was throbbing, and he was not a cold-blooded animal, such a scene, naturally a little sad, this sad emotion was inadvertently revealed, as the commander of Wuyin County, he was a soldier, Mushan was a thief, and his position did not allow him to waver, so he quickly became ruthless.

"Gentlemen are not thieves, sages are not thieves, they are thieves, they should be anti-thieves, not tolerated by the court, not for the people of the Han Dynasty, it is the will of heaven to have such an end!" Cai Tu had a straight face and said coldly: "The Yellow Turban is a thief, the trouble of the court, even if you are lucky enough to survive the punishment of heaven's will, we will also send troops to exterminate and protect the peace of the party. ”

"I have a question for the prefectural magistrate, can I?" Mu Jing squinted.

"Please!"

"Where did the Yellow Turban thief come from?"

"Zhang Jiao is rebellious, and when you follow it, there will be a thief of the Yellow Turban, and the Yellow Turban will cross the border, like locusts, not a single inch of grass will grow, and the people will be used as soldiers, which is a great crime!"

"Wrong!"

Mu Jing said coldly: "Back then, the Yellow Turban Army was a million miles away, how could it be just because of a Zhang Jiao, although Zhang Jiao is fickle, but this is not the reason why my father believes in him, but he responded to the general trend, and the general trend is today's imperial court, just like the tyrannical Qin!" ”

"Bastard!"

Cai Tu was furious: "Today's imperial court, how can you be too presumptuous in the name of tyrannical Qin, and you should exterminate the nine clans!" ”

The Han Dynasty overthrew the tyrannical Qin before it gained a foothold in the world.

This is the great righteousness.

If the Han family is regarded as a tyrannical Qin, it is the righteousness of the Yellow Turban Army, which is something that the imperial court will never allow, and it is also something that he, a Confucian son, will not run.

"The nine clans of the Mu clan are now left with my father and me!" Mu Jing calmed: "The head of the Xi'e Mujia Village, it should be killed, let you officials be killed, the officials force the people to rebel, why doesn't my father oppose the court!" ”

When Cai Tu heard this, his fierce momentum suffocated slightly.

He had heard of this thing once, the rebellion in Xi'e City, it was because of the Xi'e County Order to recruit young and strong people to cultivate the official road, once killed a hundred respects, slaughtered many villages, and finally led to the official forced rebellion, the county was flooded by the chaotic people, and all the officials of the county government were slaughtered, and later the county guard sent troops to quell the rebellion.

There seems to be a pastoral village among them.

It turns out that Mu Shan, the number one fierce general of the Nanyang Yellow Turban, was actually rebelled by the imperial court, sad!

Mu Jing continued: "Today's imperial court, the government decree is chaotic, the emperor is unreasonable, the credit is treacherous, the people are not happy, my father was just an ordinary hunter back then, the sun rises and the day is resting, we also want to live a peaceful life, we don't want to fight on the battlefield, but since we can't survive, it's hard to sit and wait to die, we wait for the opposite, we have a way to live, we can gather troops, it's not our talent, it's just that the court is incompetent......

"Shepherd Dragon Map!"

Cai Tu suddenly let out a low snort, interrupted Mu Jing's voice, and said coldly: "You said so much, what do you mean?" ”

He didn't dare to listen anymore.

As a scholar, only by understanding the truth can you govern well, but there are some truths that you can't understand, and you don't dare to understand, because once you understand it, you will embark on another path.

"Lord County Commander, since you asked like this, the kid will tell you!"

Mu Jing's face was straight, his eyes were cold, and his voice was categorical: "I want to survive, I want all the people in our Mushroom Mountain to live a peaceful life!" ”

"You want to surrender?" Cai Tu's eyes burst with a gleam.

"If we surrender, I don't know if the county commander will dare to accept it?" Mu Jing sneered: "Or, the Taishou Zhang Advisory Council can tolerate us, I'm afraid that if we surrender today, tomorrow will be the shackles and the scourge of the sword soldiers?" ”

"If you already know that, why bother!"

Cai Tu sighed, the court can't tolerate the Yellow Turban thief, this is the bottom line.

"So I thought of another way!"

Mu Jing arched his hand and said: "For our survival, and for the county magistrate to continue to be this county magistrate safely, I hope that the county magistrate can join forces with us to make a big show and be a world watch!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Cai Tu squinted his eyes, looked at Mu Jing's face, and said in his heart.

He understands that if Mushan and they can't survive, he's afraid he won't be able to survive either.

He also wanted a way to do both.

"This battle has begun, I can't hide it, it's better for me to write a book for the adult, like this: the people come to report, there are bandits on the mushroom mountain yellow scarf, the county order is a side of the peace, send troops to suppress the bandits, soldiers and horses 1,002, exterminate 300 young and strong, drive away more than 1,000 anti-thieves, and return victorious, but the county lieutenant Chen Feng was killed by the anti-thief Mushan, but the big anti-thief Mushan was also killed by the Wuyin righteous soldiers, since then, Nanyang has been exterminated, all are happy, the adults played, and the Wuyin righteous warrior was recruited as the county lieutenant, leading the Wuyin county soldiers, and protecting the peace of the party!"

Mu Jing said slowly: "From now on, I guarantee that there will be no more Yellow Turban thieves on Mushroom Mountain in Nanyang County, cholera counties!" ”

As long as the Yellow Turban Army is turned into Wuyin County soldiers, they will be able to settle down in Wuyin.

This is the only way for them to survive.

"Since the bandits are suppressed, there will be gains, why are there three hundred corpses?"

Cai Tu understood, Mu Jing was going to steal the day, he had to admire Mu Jing, he could come up with such a way, this is also the best way, Mu Shan died, he made meritorious service, but there are some things, he needs to ask clearly, he squinted slightly: "Is it good to kill the good and take the merit?" ”

"No need!" Mu Jing smiled and said, "There are three hundred corpses outside the city!" ”

"County soldiers?" Cai Tu's eyes were red.

"In addition, the county commander has other methods, maybe the county commander wants us to send troops to kill three hundred bandits?" Mu Jing bit the word bandit and pointed out.

"No, you don't!"

Cai Tu asked coldly: "Dancing Yin Yishi, who is the so-called?" ”

"The surname is Zhang, the name is Chuan, and the character is in the yuan!"

Mu Jing and Mu Shan discussed, if you want the people of Mushroom Mountain to settle down, then you have to change your face, Mu Shan, a famous bandit thousands of miles away, must disappear for a while, at least before Emperor Han Ling dies, can not appear, because as long as Emperor Han Ling is still there, the imperial court will not be able to tolerate Yellow Turban thieves like Mu Shan, and it will not be possible to surrender.

"Mu Yuanzhong!"

When Cai Tu heard this, he said coldly: "He is a Nanyang celebrity, when he attacked Wancheng, he broke through the city with three hammers, his demeanor was outstanding, and countless people watched it, if he met Lord Taishou, he would inevitably be recognized, and we would all be in trouble at that time, how could we!" ”
