"Report!"

Followed by a rush of footsteps, a black tiger thief ran up to the second floor of the Black Tiger Righteous House, and said to Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the house talking and laughing with Liu Bi and Li Xu, and said, "The Great Leader of Qiqi, the Great Commander and the Left Commander, have led the brothers back to the county seat. ”

Hearing this, not to mention Zhao Yu, even Liu Bi and Li Xu were also happy.

As the county magistrate and county commander of the county government, Liu Bi and Li Xu certainly knew about Zhao Yu's plan to 'attack the rebel general Xu Bao at night', and were worried about whether this move would succeed.

Around midnight last night, the two of them, who had never intended to sleep, came to the Black Tiger Lodge where Zhao Yu was located, ready to discuss with Zhao Yu again on the issue of the rebels.

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Zhao Yu also talked with Liu Bi and Li Xu, talked about the black tiger thief, talked about the county army, and also talked about what kind of existence Kunyang will be in the future.

During this period, some of the ideas put forward by Zhao Yu, such as 'planning land', 'leasing shops', and 'attracting investment', all made Liu Bi and Liu Bi very interested.

Unconsciously, the three of them chatted for a night, and a few hours ago, the guard of the North City Gate, Le Gui, sent someone to report the news, saying that the wolves led by Chen Mo and Wang Qing had successfully broken the army of the rebel general Xu Bao, and even the enemy general Xu Bao died in the chaos, Liu Bi and Li Xu suddenly remembered that they had come to Zhao Yu to wait for the news of the night attack, instead of listening to Zhao Yu tell how to develop Kunyang in the future.

Of course, it wasn't bad to listen to the claims of the Black Tiger Thief Grand Leader, which made Li Xu more and more sure that the Grand Leader had no ill will towards Kunyang - although there were all kinds of indications that the Zhou Leader intended to include Kunyang County in his chassis.

"Great!"

After hearing the news that Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others had returned to the city, Li Xu, the county leader, said excitedly: "Leader Zhou, such a great victory, why don't you inform the people in the city, inspiring?" ”

Of course, Zhao Yu will not refuse this kind of proposal, after all, he has always been downplaying the image of the black tiger thief as a 'thief', at least let the locals in Kunyang accept it, otherwise if he can't win the hearts of the people, how can he be based in Kunyang?

So, he pretended to slap his hands abruptly and said, "Li Xiancheng's proposal is very good, Liu Gong, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Liu Bi understood what Zhao Yu meant, and said with a smile: "I also think this move is very good, so I'll arrange it." ”

As the county magistrate of Kunyang County, Liu Bi does not exclude the Black Tiger Thief from being in the limelight, after all, no matter how much the Black Tiger Thief is in the limelight, it is nominally under his 'wise leadership' - as long as the big leader of the Black Tiger Thief around him is still keen to be a 'man behind the scenes', he has no conflict of interest with the big leader.

Of course, taking a step back, if one day the Great Leader of the Black Tiger Thieves is no longer satisfied with being a 'man behind the scenes', as long as he is not banned from the position of county magistrate, he will not have any complaints.

After all, he also understands that he can't fight this one, whether it is talent or the current situation.

Since you can't fight, you have to be an 'underling' honestly, so as to keep his status and reputation.

Unlike Xun Yi and Li Xu, who purely appreciate Zhao Yu, this Liu County Commander is still very 'pragmatic'.

Therefore, Liu Bi immediately returned to the county government and ordered the county officials in the county government to convey the good news to the people of the city.

"The Black Tigers have won the battle!"

"The Black Tigers have won the battle!"

About a moment later, a group of county guards roamed the streets and alleys of the city, beating gongs and drums to announce the good news to the public.

Hearing the shouts, the people of the city walked out of their homes one after another, standing on both sides of the street and asking the county officials.

"The Black Tigers have won the battle? When? ”

"Did they defeat the rebels outside the city?"

Under the gossip of these local people, one of the county guards shouted loudly: "Be quiet, all the neighbors be quiet, this morning, around the clock, under the leadership of Chen Mo and Wang Qing, the Black Tigers secretly attacked the rebels in the east of the city, and after a fierce battle, with less than a thousand people, they defeated the rebels of five or six thousand people, and also killed the rebels' general Xu Bao." A moment ago, the two commanders, Chen and Wang, had led the Black Tigers back to the city, and at this moment they were handing over the armaments looted from the rebels at the armory...... Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you go and see those heroic soldiers? ”

The people of Kunyang who heard these words were taken aback.

Of course, they know how much the rebels outside the city have - looking at how many casualties there were in his Kunyang County yesterday and the last time when the rebels attacked him, it is enough to prove the interests of that group of rebels, but the Black Tigers can defeat 5,000 rebels with 1,000 people, isn't this still a tiger warrior?

I have to say that these people don't understand military affairs, but they don't know that the biggest credit for the success of last night's night attack should belong to Zhao Yu, if it weren't for Zhao Yu's opposite, using the 'tired soldier's strategy' to cover the 'sneak attack', not to mention a thousand black tiger thieves, even if it is doubled, don't think about the sneak attack when Xu Bao is prepared.

Of course, Zhao Yu himself doesn't care about this.

"Let's go, go see the Benjames!"

I don't know who led the way, and the people nearby echoed and rushed towards the armory.

At the same time, Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others were taking a group of black tiger thieves to hand over the armaments they had collected from the rebels at the armory.

On the side, there was not only an inventory of the officials of the county treasury, but also a steward and several officials sent by the Brotherhood to record the exploits of the Black Tiger Thieves - as mentioned earlier, the Black Tiger Thieves handed over the captured weapons and armor to the county treasury, and they could receive corresponding merits.

Just when the two groups of people were handing over the seized weapons and armor, suddenly a group of people rushed over from the far side of the street, surrounded by an airtight wind, Rao is group of black tiger thieves were also startled, and thought that this group of people was going to riot.

And just when these black tiger thieves didn't know why, the onlookers cheered at them.

"Well done, Black Tigers!"

"Well done!"

"I thought you were just a bunch of thieves, but I didn't expect ...... Good job! ”

……

In bursts of cheers, a group of black tiger thieves looked at each other with the weapons and armor in their hands that had not yet been handed over to the county treasurer.

Fortunately, Chen Mo reminded them in time: "Presumably, the people in the city learned that we had defeated a group of rebels outside the city, and specially came to congratulate us and others, don't stand stupidly, let's respond." ”

Response?

How to respond?

When everyone looked at each other, Bao Xin, who can be called an old qualification, hugged his fists in all directions, and said with a smile: "Thank you folks for your love, although we have gone astray for a while, we also regard Kunyang as our hometown, how can we allow the rebels to run rampant here?" Fellow villagers, please rest assured, under the leadership of my Zhou Hu Leader and Liu County's order, my Black Tigers will finally be able to repel the rebels and protect the peace of Kunyang! ”

As soon as the words ended, the nearby onlookers cheered excitedly.

Not to mention that the other brigade wolves were looking at Bao Xin in amazement, even Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Bao Xin a few more times - I didn't expect this guy to have this talent?

It's no wonder, after all, there are many reckless people among the black tiger thieves, and they are all good at killing and looting, but there are really few people who can speak like Bao Xin.

No, when Bao Xin won the cheers of the people present with his words, the brigade wolves like Xu Rao, Lexing, Hao Shun and other heroic brigade wolves stood in place one by one like wooden people, and the slightly better ones only barely showed their self-righteous smiles and beckoned around.

It took more than half an hour for the traveling wolves to complete the delivery of the seized goods with the officials of the county treasury, and then returned to the rest area of the east and west city walls with a wooden face under the onlookers and cheers of the people along the way.

"Am I dreaming?"

Looking at the people watching and cheering along the way, Lexing pinched the back of his hand with a strange expression.

He and his brother Legui followed Wang Qing in Yingshan in the early years, although because of Wang Qing's personality, they didn't kill much, but they had a lot of experience in looting villages, and they could be regarded as evil.

But now, the people of Kunyang actually cheered for him, which Lexing never expected.

"But...... It doesn't feel bad......

From the bottom of his heart, he spoke the hearts of almost all the black tiger thieves present.

It's funny to say that in front of these welcoming people, the black tiger thieves held their heads high one by one, as if they were not bandits, but real soldiers.

During this period, some black tiger thieves caught a glimpse of some curious girls standing in the crowd, and when they saw the young and beautiful women looking at themselves and others, their hearts were even more comfortable, and they were simply dancing with their eyebrows.

Even if most of them are actually married on the cottage side.

At this time, on the street in the distance, Zhao Yu took Liu Bi, Li Xu, and Ma Gai, and was smiling at the behavior of the group of black tiger thieves in the distance.

I have to say that Li Xu's proposal is indeed very good, which can not only make the people of Kunyang change their perception of the black tiger thief, but also enhance the black tiger thief's feelings for the people of Kunyang.

Yes, the two are actually mutual, otherwise, Hao Shun would not have complained about the sacrifice he made for Kunyang because of the black tiger thief.

"It seems that our 'Benshi' is very satisfied."

Zhao Yu said with a smile to Liu Bi, Li Xu, and Ma Gai.

After a burst of laughter, Li Xu nodded and said, "That's what they deserve." ”

It is undeniable that Li Xu also had some prejudice against the Black Tiger Thief before, but he also cannot deny that whether it is Zhou Hu next to him or the Black Tiger Thief under Zhou Hu, they have all paid great sacrifices to defend Kunyang, and the sacrifices of these people should also be remembered by the people of Kunyang.

Of course, in fact, Li Xu also has selfish intentions, after all, in his opinion, bringing the relationship between the military and the people of Kunyang and the black tiger thieves closer is also conducive to preventing the black tiger thieves from doing evil in Kunyang - as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.

He didn't want to be an enemy of the Black Tiger Thief, let alone Zhou Hu, the big leader of the Black Tiger Thief beside him.

At noon on the same day, Zhao Yu summoned Liu Bi, Li Xu, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai, Chen Cai, Ma Hong, Zhang Feng and others, and held a military meeting again in the county government.

“…… The sneak attack on Xu Baojun this time was a great success, but it was difficult to avoid that we would be firmly hated by the rebels again. …… That Guan Shuo has paid such a heavy price, he will not retreat easily, if my expectations are not bad, he will definitely seize the time, today and tomorrow, in the west, south, and east of my Kunyang, set up camps, with these three battalions as a base, launched a fierce attack on my Kunyang, I hope you will not be complacent about the previous small victory, and deal with it carefully...... When the rebels are completely repulsed, we have time to celebrate! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone present clasped their fists and responded in unison.
