Cheng Qi is a little greedy, but not stupid, on the contrary, very shrewd. He knew that if he wanted to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief, he had to appease the soldiers of Sanshui Township well, otherwise once the matter spread and let the Xiangyang side know that he had taken the lead in the army, things would be in trouble.

Therefore, he immediately ordered two carts of grain and wine to be prepared, and pulled more than ten sheep, and personally took them out of the city to find the soldiers of Sanshui Township.

The battlefield outside the city was a mess, full of swords and spears dropped by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but there were not many people.

Most of the Yellow Turban thieves have fled far away, and the Sanshui Township soldiers have also pursued them, leaving most of the wounded and immobile thieves on the battlefield outside the city, and then the Yellow Turban Thieves who chose to surrender, there are several teams of village soldiers who are escorting prisoners, and hundreds of young and strong women are cleaning up the battlefield.

Sanshui Village even sent women, they are really loyal to national affairs, Cheng Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After inquiry, Cheng Qi learned that it was not Deng Yi who led the team to Changyu, but his son Zhang Miao, but now Zhang Miao went to the rebel camp.

So Cheng Qi rushed to the rebel camp five miles away, and when he arrived at the camp, it was already close to dusk.

"Haha, sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, Professor Zhang is a young hero, and he cooperates with this county to defeat the bandits, and he is worthy of being my Huyang hero!" Seeing Zhang Miao, Cheng Qi laughed and said.

Zhang Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes, what is it to cooperate with you to defeat the bandits, you don't dare to open the city and send troops to attack until now, are you embarrassed to say this?

"The county respects the city as safe as a turtle, and the deep and immovable as a mountain is the essence of the art of war. I admire it very much in the bottom. Zhang Miaopi smiled and said with a smile.

Listening to Zhang Miao's words, Cheng Qi couldn't help but blush, what does it mean to be as stable as a turtle and as immobile as a mountain, it is clearly sarcastic that he only dares to hide in the city and not come out.

was unhappy, but Cheng Qi was helpless with the young man in front of him. Strength determines everything, and in the face of the attack of thousands of thieves, he only dared to hide in the city and defend against the city wall, but the people shook the thief army head-on and directly defeated it. Moreover, the young man in front of him is not an ordinary person, he has been praised by Jingzhou Mu Liu Envoy!

At this time, Cheng Qi understood that with Zhang Miao here, it might not be easy for him to take the credit of the other party.

"That, Professor Zhang said and laughed, haha, hahaha" Cheng Qi was thick-skinned enough and hurriedly laughed.

"Cheng Xianzun still calls me Zhang Miao, after all, I haven't gone to the state school yet, and the official position of the state science professor is in name only." Zhang Miao said lightly, reminding the other party that you are a county order, and Lao Tzu is not in vain, but a professor of state studies.

"Then I'll call you virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, I don't know what about Lingzun Zhang You? But the thief went after him? Cheng Qi asked with a smile, compared with the young but cunning young man in front of him, Cheng Qi was more willing to deal with the old and serious Zhang Yu.

"My father stayed in the village and didn't come, this time he was in command of the army." Zhang Miao said, "It's a coincidence that the county lord came, I was planning to write a report on the success of the newspaper and let Pegasus pass it to Xiangyang." ”

"Ahh Cheng Qi's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he hurriedly said, "That, virtuous nephew, the matter of reporting to Xiangyang should be done by this county." ”

Zhang Miao smiled: "It's okay, but I don't know how the county master plans to write this report?" ”

Cheng Qi understood, knew that the other party was already clear about his intentions, and now, it was no longer interesting to pretend to be confused, so he could only spread it out.

"Don't worry, nephew, I won't hide the merits of your Sanshui Township soldiers at all, I plan to report Xiangyang like this in this battle," Cheng Qian whispered in Zhang Miao's ear.

Zhang Miao shook his head and said straightforwardly: "County Zun, it's not impossible to say this, but what's the benefit of my Sanshui Village?" ”

Cheng Qi said: "The report documents are sent to Xiangyang, and you will definitely be rewarded by the state pastor." ”

Zhang Miao sneered: "Rewards and rewards are different, according to the meaning of the county, most of the credit is yours, how much can we have left?" County Zun, let's get it straight, how many additional benefits are you willing to give? ”

Cheng Qian knew that he couldn't fool him, so he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, I will give 2,000 stone of rice, plus 100,000 yuan, as a reward for the army, virtuous nephew, are you satisfied?" ”

This time to defend the city, Cheng Qi mobilized all the rich households in the city overnight and called on everyone to work together. For the sake of their own lives, the rich families were very enthusiastic and donated a lot of money. Because the war lasted less than two days, there was a lot of money left, Cheng Qi was originally going to swallow the money privately, but now for this credit, he can only take it out, which makes Cheng Qi very distressed.

Two thousand stones of rice, and one hundred thousand dollars, Zhang Miao suddenly smiled. Now Sanshui Village is developing rapidly, and what is needed most is money!

"I also have one condition, all the captures on this battlefield will belong to me, and these prisoners will also belong to me." Zhang Miao said.

Cheng Qi's face suddenly showed a look of pain, in this battle, at least one or two thousand prisoners can be captured, Cheng Qi originally beat all these captives into slaves, or sold them to large families, or let them open up wasteland for themselves. Zhang Miao took them all away as soon as she opened her mouth, which made Cheng Qi feel distressed.

However, considering that the battle was fought by others, and the prisoners were also captured, Cheng Qi had nothing to say, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Xie Xianzun, oh yes, I have one more condition." Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"Still on the ground?" Cheng Qi's eyes protruded.

"With so many more captives in the village, it is not easy to resettle and feed them, so we can only continue to open up the wasteland. Therefore, please ask the county for approval, my Sanshui Village will open up another 20,000 acres, but the newly opened fields are barren, and my Sanshui Village has a lot of losses in sending troops, so please ask the county to be respectful and approved, and the fields in my Sanshui Village will be exempt from taxes for three years. Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"Three years, impossible!" Cheng Qi said categorically.

Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "County Zun, you have made a great contribution this time, and it is inevitable that you will be transferred out of Huyang." ”

Hey, yes, I'm sure I can be promoted, who does Huyang Ling love when the time comes, it's my business? Cheng Qi suddenly realized, "Okay, just according to the meaning of the virtuous nephew." ”

"By the way, I have one condition." Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"And?" Cheng Qi's face turned gloomy, "Virtuous nephew, don't get an inch." ”

Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "A very small condition, county respect, my Sanshui Township soldiers can have now, and the hard training of the military division Xu Shu is inseparable, and this battle army division took the lead, led the strange soldiers to attack the thief army camp, and burned the thief army camp to make the thief army defeated, so please also add the name of the military division Xu Shu to the victory report." Well, the name of the military advisor is placed in front of me. ”

"That's right." Cheng Qi nodded slightly, this time the credit is great, adding an extra name is nothing.

Afraid that Zhang Miao would continue to put forward conditions, Cheng Qi hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the city on the grounds that it was dark. Zhang Miao looked up at the sky, the last touch of sunset was still hanging in the western sky, and the pursuing villagers should be back soon.
