The decision was made, and the main force of the Liang army began to stand still, and the cavalry was divided into several batches and attacked non-stop.

Their sortie was not to engage the Qin army head-on, but to avoid the main force and attack certain places, with the intention of exhausting the Qin army.

In fact, this strategy has a certain effect.

But at this time, the cleverness of the strategists on both sides was completely displayed.

The next day, Jinling County Government.

Lin Chu came to report that some villages and towns on the border of Jinling were attacked by the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan didn't say anything immediately, but asked again: "What about the main force of the Liang Army?" ”

"There is no change in the main force." Lin Chu returned.

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slip in his hand: "Harassment tactics? ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and arched his hand: "King, the Liang army's intentions are obvious, with a small force of cavalry, constantly harassing, if our army goes to support, the other party will turn around and run, so that they will run left and right, and they will be embarrassed." ”

"What do you think?" Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically.

"It's better if you don't see it." Shangguan Wenruo said: "The main task of our army now is to concentrate military defense and prepare for the next decisive battle. ”

"Because the Liang army fights, the bad habits are difficult to change, after entering the village, they will rob the villagers, you know, they are the people of their Liang country, in the Jinling area, the king of Liang will also lose people's hearts!"

"This not only has an unexpected effect on the king's complete pacification of Jinling, but also loots a lot, and the people of Jinling must hate the Liang army to the core."

"Huh." After hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, and said with a smile: "Lord Shangguan, why can some bad news, when it comes to you, always turn into good news for this king?" ”

"Wechen is terrified." Shangguan Wenruo hurriedly said.

Before the Great War, it was more like a battle of strategists.

The result really made Shangguan Wenruo right.

A village on the border of Jinling.

Hundreds of cavalry galloped and rolled up a cloud of dust.

The sound of horses' hooves filled the village.

Seeing this, the villagers were shocked and hurriedly hid home.

"Phew—"

The cavalry captain at the head pulled the reins, and the cavalry behind him stopped.

His eyes were fierce, he looked around, and then waved his hand directly.

The cavalry understood, turned over and dismounted, and quickly rushed to the houses on both sides of the village, raising their feet and kicking the doors open.

In the eyes of the Liang army, the current Jinling has been occupied by the Qin army, so how can you be polite, that is, you will grab everything you see! Adultery with folk girls happens from time to time!

For a while, the crying and crying echoed throughout the village.

A moment later, the cavalry, almost all of them carrying parcels, returned to their horses.

At this time, an old man also chased him out of the house, stretched out his hand to reach the cavalry captain in front of him, and at the same time begged bitterly:

"The military master has robbed all the food by behaving like this, how can we survive as civilians......"

"Get out of here!" How could the cavalry captain talk nonsense with him, he directly whipped the horsewhip hard, and while knocking the old man to the ground, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and said, "Withdraw——"

This group of cavalry came fast, ran faster, and returned with a full load.

But it has suffered the local people, the decree of the Liang State is already harsh, and the people are hungry.

The old man, who had been whipped by the horsewhip, knelt on the ground, and cried out in mourning:

"The Liang army that killed these days didn't dare to fight the Qin army, but they came here and bullied our people......"

Next, because of the looting of the Liang army, the people in many villages began to flee in large numbers.

Their escape was not to the side of Liangguo, but to the county town en masse, before the Liang army robbed them, where did the people dare to go.

Over the past few days, there have been a lot of refugees in Jinling City.

And this is the county town, of course, there are literati and local families.

After learning the whole story, some literati couldn't help it, and elected the most famous local scholar as a representative to go to the county government and ask to see the king of Qin.

At this time, outside the county guard's mansion, there were many onlookers, and a young man, dressed as a scholar, stood at the front of the crowd, agitating there.

He seems to be very famous in the local area, and under his leadership, the people have raised their hands and chanted.

Seeing this, the guards at the door drew half of their swords one after another, looking on guard.

After a while, the sound of neat infantry running sounded, and a large number of Qin troops began to impose martial law, and a general came quickly, stood still in front of the army, looked around the people, and shouted:

"The county is a big place! No noise! ”

"Retreat quickly! Dare to gather crowds to make trouble again! Behead them all! ”

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but take two steps back.

The young man who took the lead was also a little panicked, but after swallowing his saliva, he still had the courage to say, "We...... We are just here to see the king of Qin and be the master of the people......"

"Presumptuous!" General Qin was furious, reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and the Qin soldiers immediately halberded their halberds.

However, at this time, Xiao Yuan, who heard the movement, walked out with Shangguan Wenruo and others.

Seeing him, General Qin hurriedly let go, clenched his fists and bent over, "King." ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite: "What happened?" ”

General Qin pointed to the crowd and said, "These people gathered at the gate of the county government and tried to make trouble. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yuan to say anything, the young man who took the lead hurriedly bowed down and bowed deeply:

"His Royal Highness King Qin, it's not us who is making trouble, but the people are wronged."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan looked at him.

The young man said: "In Xia Zhangqin, thanks to the recommendation of the villagers, on behalf of the Jinling scholars, I have come to ask to see His Highness." ”

"Are you representing a local scholar?"

"Yes."

At that time, the status of a scholar was relatively high.

Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Say it." ”

Zhang Qin said: "Today's Jinling is already under the rule of the Qin State, and His Royal Highness has already issued a notice to calm the people, but there is something unclear below, and he dares to ask His Highness to solve his doubts." ”

Xiao Yuan motioned for him to continue.

The latter said: "That being the case, now that the Liang army is harassing the people of Jinling, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, should His Highness take care of it?" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yuan was startled and pretended. He's not a good man, and he's not a hero.

Zhang Qin said: "Of course, Your Highness doesn't hear that the people of many villages, because the food has been robbed, have no choice but to flee to the county seat. ”

"If this is the case, it is really the fault of this king, rest assured, this king will send troops to suppress, exterminate the thieves, and restore peace to the people!"

Xiao Yuan's words are high-sounding.

This is a treacherous male lord.

Seeing that he agreed so simply, Zhang Qin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly gave a big salute:

"In this way, the people of Jinling thank Your Highness for your great kindness——"

"There is no need to be polite, this is what this king should do."
