Wancheng.

Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Shi knelt at the head of the hall, his face was gloomy as water, and kneeling on his left and right were Juncheng Liu Jin and Changshi Tan Song, their faces were not very good-looking, and their bodies exuded this cold aura.

"Lord Fuzun, the news of the discipline, now the army of Mushan has been prepared to go out of the mountain and return to Wuyin, once it returns to Wuyin, captures Wuyin, and defends the city, it will be difficult to deal with, whether we forcibly encircle and suppress, or let the tiger return to the mountain, please decide Lord Fuzun!"

Kneeling in front of him to report was Huang Meng, the county governor, Huang Meng said to Zhang Shi.

In the battle of Tufu Mountain, they had a very good idea, let Mushan and the anti-thief army of Tufu Mountain fight to the death, and then they sent troops to clean up the mess, which could not only eliminate the bandits in Tufu Mountain, but also suppress Mushan.

But I didn't expect the final result to be unexpected.

This battle did not start at all, Mushan actually dared to be alone like a mountain, with a three-inch tongue, he actually persuaded a group of thieves in Tufu Mountain, and collected their soldiers and horses, and now there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and his power has risen sharply.

At this moment, they can scare Nanyang Taishou Mansion a lot.

After all, with so many soldiers and horses, Mushan already has enough ability to rebel, once Mushan rebels, Nanyang will inevitably be in chaos, and the echo of all parties will put Wancheng in danger.

"This is the fault of this government, and it is this government that underestimated the ability of Mu Shan!"

Zhang Zhi said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Mushan to have such courage, persuade the thief leader alone, and surrender thousands of soldiers and horses, now Mushan has more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness is so strong, even if Ji Sima leads the troops to attack it, it is difficult to work, and even with the courage of Mushan, it may be killed by it, and the attack on us outweighs the loss!" ”

He is now beginning to regret giving Mu Shan a talisman, in fact, he shouldn't have let Mu Shan leave Wancheng in the first place.

But he won't admit that he regrets something.

He could only grit his teeth and face the current situation.

Mushan recruited thousands of thieves from Tufu Mountain, with more than 3,000 soldiers, even if it is not as strong as the strength of Taishoufu, it is also the only force under this county in the entire Nanyang territory.

Not to mention that Nanyang County can't clean up a pasture.

Mushan is just a Yellow Turban thief in the end, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the entire Nanyang County, and countless people in Nanyang suffered, so the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army plummeted, if Mushan rebelled, it would inevitably attract the whole county to beat him, and he would definitely die.

Besides, Nanyang County is very large, both in terms of population and harvest, it ranks first in the imperial court, which is larger than Runan County, and in terms of military strength, Nanyang Taishou Mansion has nearly 10,000 county soldiers, and it is not difficult to deal with Mushan.

But there is one point, today's Nanyang County, which seems to be a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, is actually a plate of loose sand.

As long as he sends troops, people from all sides will inevitably take the opportunity to leave, and Nanyang will be chaotic.

As soon as Nanyang is in chaos, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the entire Nanyang Taishou.

So he began to be afraid of Makiyama.

"Are we going to let the tiger go back to the mountains?" Tan Song raised his head, his eyes were lifelike, and he looked at Zhang Shi: "Lord Fuzun, if we put the fang of Mushan back in Wuyin, wouldn't we sit and watch him cut off the county seat of Wuyin?" ”

With Mushan's troops, they are estimated to be unable to fight Mushan to the end.

"Tan Changshi, do you have a good plan to deal with it?" Zhang Shi asked coldly.

"It's better to let Huang Duwei lead his troops south, meet Ji Sima, kill him by surprise, and annihilate him in Tufu Mountain in one go!" Tan Song's words were cold, and his killing intent was soaring.

"Tan Changshi, do you know what the consequences will be once Wancheng is empty?"

Liu Jin said coldly.

"Now Nanyang, Ankang and Taiping, as long as you fight quickly, you should be fine!" Tan Song was embarrassed to say this, but he was a little grateful for letting him release the first fierce general of the Nanyang Yellow Turban who had killed the Nanyang family upside down and returning to the mountain.

"Humph!"

Liu Jin sneered and handed out a piece of cloth: "Look, this is the palace report just issued by the imperial court!" ”

"Di Bao?"

Tan Song took it and looked at it, his pupils changed slightly: "Hedong Baibo and Yellow Turbans are in turmoil, attacking more than ten cities in a row......"

This is the end of February, and now it is almost the end of March, and the imperial court has begun to react, but it is too late, Baibo Yellow Turban has accumulated strength over the years, so that Baibo Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Guo Tai quickly used more than 100,000 troops, from Xihe to Hedong, the war situation has been eroded.

"How so?" Tan Song frowned: "Wasn't the Yellow Turban Army suppressed by the imperial court?" ”

"There are so many yellow turbans in the world!"

Liu Jin sighed.

He is a scholar from a poor family, fortunate to worship in Yingchuan Academy, with his talent and learning to impress many Confucians, get acquainted with the Yingchuan family, in order to raise filial piety and honesty, living at the bottom for many years, he is not very repulsive to the Yellow Turban, and even some understand the suffering of the Yellow Turban, not everyone yearns for the ambition of rebellion, but the times are forced to embark on such a road.

"Lord Fuzun, so unexpectedly, we have to guard against Mushan's fang!" Tan Song said: "If he raises troops to rebel, won't we lose the opportunity, it's better to strike first......

"Tan Changshi, Mushan hasn't rebelled yet, are you going to force him to rebel?" Zhang Shi said coldly.

He is Nanyang Taishou, the highest official in Nanyang, and the first person in charge, if Mushan is reversed, it means that he is not well governed, and if the court is held accountable, he will bear the brunt, so he is the person who is most afraid of Mushan's rebellion.

"But ......" Tan Song frowned, his face gloomy.

"Tan Changshi, I know that you hate Mushan, and I also know that you hate the Yellow Turban thieves to the core, but we need to consider the millions of people in Nanyang, together with the war, the war in Nanyang will spread, and the people will not be able to live in peace!"

Zhang Shi interrupted Tan Song's words, and directly clapped the decision, and said: "Huang Duwei, you send an order to Ji Sima and let him lead the troops to return, you must ensure that many soldiers and horses under your command return to Wancheng, and the soldiers and horses of each county will return immediately, appease the people of the counties, and beware of the Yellow Turban anti-thieves Rebellion, and, Liu Juncheng, you immediately play the imperial court, Zhang Chuan, as the lieutenant of Wuyin County, is alone in the thief's nest, saying that the thief army will be surrendered, without spending a single soldier, to quell the trouble of the land and the mountains, and to suppress the thieves, I specially ask the court for merit!" ”

Mushan is reversed, he is definitely responsible, Mushan is not opposed, he will enjoy peace, so he can only hope that Mushan has no intention of rebelling, not only does he not dare to persecute Mushan, but he also needs to be appeased, and he doesn't even know that Mushan has won a big advantage in this battle, and he can only be forced to play and ask for a seal!

"No!"

Huang Meng and Liu Jin nodded to receive the order, and Tan Song couldn't hold it alone, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize it.

"Mushan, it's just Wuyin County, I can afford it, but I can't afford to lose in Nanyang County, you'd better not force me!" Zhang Shi muttered to himself.

At the beginning, it took great effort to persuade the general He Jin, and he was even forced to borrow thousands of gold from the Liangzhou barbarian under the general's command to bribe a few strategists around the general, so that he could sit in this position, and he must not lose this position.

**************************

In the fifth year of Zhongping, April, early to the first half of the year.

The outskirts of Wuyin City, outside the Ten Mile Pavilion.

The county magistrate Cai Tu, the county Cheng Meng Wu, and the thief Cao Zhaoping, together with more than a dozen officials of the county government, have been waiting for a long time, and there are many big family heads in Wuyin City waiting around these officials.

There are also many people from the Shi clan here, and they have to wait, because they can't afford to provoke Mushan now.

Stomp !!!!

In the distance, in the midst of the sound of horses' hooves, hundreds of cavalry charged, and in the midst of the charge, rolling dust and sand, like a fierce beast opening its bloody mouth, rushed to the face, and everyone couldn't help but retreat again and again, and they couldn't stand steadily.

The hundreds of cavalry, less than fifteen meters away from them, suddenly stopped, moving in unison, obviously skilful horsemanship.

"Subordinate Zhang Chuan, the thief was victorious, led the troops back, and asked the county lord to review!"

Mu Shan wore a human skin mask, and his burly body jumped off the horse's back and bowed to Cai Tu.

"Good!"

Cai Tu's previous depression had been dispelled, and at this moment, there was a look of excitement on his face.

He is still very satisfied with Mushan's attitude.

Because he felt that Mushan had always regarded him as the county commander of Wuyin, rather than intending to divide Wuyin.

"This official has set up a celebration banquet for Lieutenant Zhang, let's go to the city!" Cai Tu took the hand of this Mushan, strode forward, and took the lead into the city.

"The cavalry will follow me into the city, and other soldiers will be stationed outside the city, and they shall not disturb the people, and if they violate the military law, they will be killed!"

Mu Shan knew what was happening in the county, but he was not disgusted with Cai Tu's remedy at this moment, after all, he still needed to base himself in the county, and there were some things that he couldn't do.

"No!"

The generals commanded.

"Into town!"

Lei Gong led the cavalry to follow closely and marched through the city gate.

Behind the cavalry, thousands of foot soldiers camped on the spot under the leadership of a big man.

"Cai County's order is a remedy!" Cheng Luo held the reins of the horse with one hand, and his eyes were a little cold as ice.

"It's no wonder that Lord Xianzun, he was just slandered by the villain!"

Li Yan as the main book, could have not been on the expedition, but Mu Shan because of the previous cooperation with him quite appreciated, so he wanted Cai Tu to conquer him and go, this battle he also went with the army, his attainment in the art of war in the actual battle, has become more and more skilled, give advice, and Mu Shan's first strategist Cheng Luo cooperated, only to successfully surrender thousands of thieves, but he did not expect that far in the rear Cai Tu in order to suppress Mu Shan, actually played a stinky move.

"Master Li, between you and us, it is a robe relationship, we should trust you, but this Cai County Decree has acted like this, and has already broken the covenant, and some relationships have broken down, after all, they are broken!"

Cheng Luo shook his head, rode forward, and did not return to the city, but went directly to Jingping Village in the northwest direction.

"Hey!"

Li Yan sighed, a little helpless.

Cheng Luo is right, it is very difficult to establish a cooperative relationship between them, but the breakdown of this relationship is only in an instant, and he doesn't know if Mushan has a mustard in his heart, but because of Cai Tu's decision, it almost wiped out the old and young in Jingping Village, which made him never trust Cai Tu in the future.

The most important thing is that Mushan now has nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention more than 1,000 elite county soldiers, more than 2,000 surrendered thief soldiers, and thieves Cao soldiers and horses, let's talk about Jingping Village, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are still hidden.

Even the Taishou Mansion gave in.

If the Taishou Mansion did not give in, they would still have a bloody battle to fight in Tufu Mountain, in fact, they were ready to turn the other cheek of the Taishou Mansion, but they didn't expect Zhang Shi to give in again.

Now that the Taishou Mansion has given in, the city of Wuyin, it is no longer Cai Tu or those scholars in the city who speak, but Mushan.
