Chen Ziqian came and went in a hurry, but the turmoil in Ningzhou was only the beginning.

The assassination of the Qingyang Righteous Army is just a *** that ignites turmoil, and then the Seven Great Clans, which are already fighting openly and secretly, will definitely start to split and fight for the sake of interests.

The day before was still a friend, you can drink and talk at the same table, and after today, you may be your mortal enemy when you meet again.

Wang Zibo is also resolute, after the assassination intention was achieved, while everyone's attention was on Jingyi County's side, he had returned to the Guangling royal family, and planned with the current head of the Wang family, that is, his uncle Wang Shihua.

The ready-made land of a state is in front of him, and the Wang family obviously has no reason not to take it, and with Chu Taiyuan to help, Wang Shihua decisively adopted Wang Zibo's suggestion, and provided the connections and heritage of the entire family to fully support Wang Zibo.

Wang Shihua still had to stay in Jingyi to contain the other scholars, and he handed over the burden of taking Dingfeng, Shangrao and Longnan counties to Wang Zibo.

With the support of the family, Wang Zibo's overall layout was implemented, and the first step was to go to Dingfeng in person, officially bring the Qingyang Rebel Army under his command, and at the same time use his family connections to recover Dingfeng in one fell swoop.

On the other side, Chu Taiyuan was also entrusted with an important task, and personally went to Shangrao Longnan to use his own methods to win the two counties for Wang Zibo.

Speaking of Chu Taiyuan's method is also very simple, that is, to buy the two counties and counties, and after Dingfeng County is stabilized, the joint prince Bo Thunder will attack, and get rid of the two counties Taishou can support his family to take the throne and easily take the land of the two counties.

This thing is easy to say, and it doesn't seem so easy to do, but in fact, Chu Taiyuan has already figured out the internal situation of the two counties.

The two counties of Shangrao and Longnan are empty, and this is the pit dug by Ningzhou Thorn Shi himself.

In order to let the rebels pass, the Ningzhou Assassin Shi transferred the main forces of the two counties to the army.

Later, he was busy waving his troops to the north and did not replenish the source of troops to these two counties, which led to the two counties being hollowed out and becoming a decoration that existed in name only.

The current two counties of Shangrao and Longnan can be said to be the eldest girl who has been stripped naked, and the biggest power in the county is not the long history of Taishou or the power of soldiers and horses, but the county in charge of civil affairs!

But everyone knows very well that this is only temporary, when the Ningzhou Thorn Shi returns, the two counties will replenish the source of troops, Taishou is still a well-deserved leader in the county, and Changshi is a pawn under Taishou, and the county will be reduced to a scribe who lacks the right to speak.

So the question is, there is a long history on the side, and the county suddenly became the number one in the county, what will be the current situation of those county officials in the two counties? What does the future hold?

Chu Taiyuan is very shrewd, he knows that the situation of the two counties is very embarrassing now, this is an excellent breakthrough, as long as he makes some fuss about this, it is completely a matter for him to take down the county.

And once the civil affairs in the county are in hand, the Taishou who has been overturned will be able to attack themselves without having to deal with it, and will even take the initiative to surrender the city.

At the gate of the Guangling Wang's house, Wang Zibo and Chu Taiyuan each rode horses, looked at each other and said, "Five days later, I will be waiting for you in Dingfeng!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, the confidence in their bones was overflowing, they each pulled the reins and rode away, one went to the east gate, the other went to the west gate, and the planned three counties seemed to have been fully captured, and then it was only necessary to spend some time to implement the arrangement.

At the same time, compared to the ease of Wang Zibo and Chu Taiyuan, Luo Taibai, who is also a disciple of the Five Sects, is anxious on Anyi's side.

A large number of stragglers suddenly flowed into Yong'an from Huaihua, and when they entered the territory, they burned and looted everywhere.

Those stragglers are all routers on the rebel side, they are not like bandits and bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, they change places with a single shot, and they often turn into ordinary people and lurk, and there is nowhere to kill them.

In just a few days, several villages in Yong'an have been slaughtered, killing thousands of innocent people.

Jing Ce Nian's hand can be said to be extremely vicious, driving the stragglers in Huaihua into Yong'an, which not only resolved the Huaihua crisis, but also solved their current predicament.

It's just that the people in Yong'an have suffered, and within a few days, I don't know how many people have been destroyed, and similar tragedies continue to happen.

Luo Taibai is the chief historian of Yong'an and the county prince, and Chen Ziqian is not in him, so he has the responsibility to shoulder these burdens.

In order to ensure the stability of the territory, he also had to turn his attention to those stragglers, and sent additional troops and horses to set up checkpoints on various major roads.

But in this way, the dispersion of troops gave Jing Ce Nian breathing space, and even Huaihua did not have the threat of stragglers, and he could still draw troops and horses to come to Jing Ce Nian in Yong'an.

I have to say that excluding the negative impact of morality, Jing Ce Nian, the old fox, is indeed worthy of being a famous man in the world, and he has found such a tricky breakthrough in the overall situation, which is absolutely unguardable from a military point of view.

Chen Ziqian wanted to use economic sanctions to hit the people's livelihood and economy in the three counties of Jing Ce Nian, and even cut the hearts of the people.

This situation was reversed again, Jing Ce Nian had Huaihua soldiers and horses to support, Luo Taibai garrisoned Anyi even if there were 20,000 soldiers and horses, it was not so easy to cut off this supply line, and a rash move might even be exploited by Jing Ce Nian.

Luo Taibai is now as big as a fight, he has lost the first-mover advantage against Jing Ce Nian, if Jing Ce Nian is willing, he can also flank Anyi with Huaihua soldiers and horses.

Now taking advantage of the stalemate between the enemy and us, what he can still do is to suppress those stragglers in the territory as much as possible.

But those stragglers who live in a fixed place are elusive, and they must invest a lot of troops to deal with them.

In the military camp in Anyi City, Luo Taibai sat in the big tent with a haggard face, and at the moment he was looking at the information sent back from all over the country.

The number of rogues who fled from Huaihua to Yong'an was huge, conservatively estimated to be at least 5,000 or more, and there were also different camps, and now they have spread to almost all counties in the territory.

Seeing this information, Luo Taibai angrily threw the bamboo slip on the desk, and the hand that clenched his fist also hammered hard.

"This old man is really crazy!" Luo Taibai's face looked extremely gloomy, he was not worried about those stragglers in the territory, nor was he worried about what tricks Jing Ce Nian would play again, what really worried him was that Chen Ziqian was angered.

With Chen Ziqian's temper, once he learned about this, he would definitely not hesitate to order Jing Ce Nian to be killed.

But if he really did that, Yong'an's situation would inevitably be more passive, and he really didn't want to see Yong'an's good situation fall into danger because of Jing Ce Nian alone.

Fan Zhong stood there in the tent, and when he saw this scene, he pouted and said: "Luo Changshi, those stragglers are like locusts crossing the border, just let the counties strengthen patrols and guards, I'm afraid it's not enough, why are you reluctant to order more troops and annihilate those stragglers as soon as possible?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to, but the current overall situation is a stalemate with Mr. Jing, and I rashly divide the troops and increase the number of counties, the current deadlock will undoubtedly be broken, and Mr. Jing will take advantage of the situation at that time, and the situation will definitely be worse." Luo Taibai sighed, quite in a dilemma.

He is sure to hold Anyi now, but once the troops are divided, Jing Ce Nian will definitely be able to beat him all over the ground with a combination of punches.

It's no joke.

Fan Zhong was puzzled: "Is it just watching people everywhere being killed one after another?" ”

Luo Taibai shook his head weakly, he didn't dare to make a rash decision in this matter, picked up the leather written in advance and handed it to Fan Zhong and said: "This is the coping strategy I have formulated, you immediately send someone to send it to the lord eight hundred miles urgently, and ask the lord to decide." ”
