The name of the Yancheng guard is Tang Jin, who is a distant cousin of Cai Mao's wife.

He has no ability, and he doesn't have much ambition, he is obviously a military general but he is more timid than a civilian official, and the bandits in Yancheng are so serious, and I haven't seen this guard personally lead his troops out of the city to suppress them.

Not only that, but he also concealed it and didn't report it, and he couldn't clean it up until now, seeing that even Yancheng might fall, there was really no way, so he trembled and begged for help.

However, this Tang Jin is not without advantages, his only advantage is that he is loyal enough to Cai Mao.

This is also the reason why Cai Mao immediately decided to take this opportunity to dig a mortal trap for Liu Qi after learning about the situation in Yancheng.

And Tang Jin was indeed as Cai Mao expected, after receiving Han Shou's letter, he secretly made up his mind, no matter what the eldest prince said at that time, he would definitely not lend a soldier or a horse!

was forced to be in a hurry, so he lent out the officials in the county, so he couldn't let the eldest prince fight alone.

Thinking of the benefits promised by Cai Mao after the fact, Tang Jin couldn't stop looking forward to it.

But left and right, did not wait for the eldest prince who came alone to borrow troops, but waited outside Yancheng, the eldest prince led the army to defeat the bandits, beheaded thousands of levels, and captured the good news of the thief chieftain.

"Capture the Thief Chief? No way! ”

In the Yancheng Guard's Mansion, Tang Jin stared at the black-armored soldiers who came to report the news, and blurted out.

"Where did he come from?!"

Didn't the military advisor say that he only gave three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, and Liu Qi didn't even ask for it, and said that he wanted to recruit soldiers by himself?

In just three days, where did he come from to defeat the bandits?

That made the whole Yancheng frightened, and made him Tang Jin not even dare to go out of the city gate!

The messenger was a recruited Tabai Army, who had discovered a lot of information along the way, and knew that the butt of the guard in front of him was not clean, and he didn't have much respect, so he immediately rolled his eyes.

"General, the eldest prince is about to enter the city, and please prepare a meal for five hundred soldiers, and take Yancheng Wenwu to the city gate to greet you."

Tang Jin's eyes widened: "You little soldier, you dare to talk to the general like this!" ”

When he was blind, didn't he see the contempt on the other side's face?

"Don't think that if you are the eldest prince, I won't dare to touch you. Even if I treat you as a disrespectful official and push you out and behead you, for the sake of Cai Junshi's face, the eldest prince will not do anything to me! ”

"The general is angry." The white army simply didn't kneel, stood up and arched his hand, "After touching a cup of tea, the eldest prince is coming." Instead of being angry with me here, it is better to think about how to explain the battle in Yancheng after the eldest prince comes. ”

dropped a sentence, didn't look at Tang Jin's pale face, stepped on the white army and turned around and left.

The adjutant general was dumbfounded: "General, this is too ......"

This is too indifferent to people, I just don't know if this person is like this, or if the eldest prince instructed it.

If it's the latter......

Tang Jin was silent for a long time, and finally stomped his feet with hatred: "Gather the civil and military, and go to the city gate to pick up people with Ben!" ”

……

Liu Qi led Huo Qubing and 500 soldiers into the city, and the people of Yancheng had already received the news and welcomed them, and there were bursts of cheers like mountains and tsunamis.

Tang Jin was fully armored, and he was waiting at the door with the local civil and military officials.

Seeing the elite soldiers gradually showing their shadows in the distance, Tang Jin couldn't help but be surprised.

In the end, he is also a military general, and it can be seen at a glance that the team of 500 people is elite. Especially the dozens of cavalrymen in black helmets and black armor with red feathers on their heads carried by the strange young general.

Even the elite guards around the lord did not have such momentum!

Isn't it that the eldest prince is obsessed with articles, he doesn't know how to march and fight at all, and he has never obtained military power.

So where did all these soldiers come from?!

Seeing Liu Qi coming on horseback, Tang Jin didn't dare to slack off, and squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to salute: "The last general Tang Jin, congratulations on the triumphant return of the eldest prince!" ”

Liu Qi looked at him condescendingly: "You are Tang Jin?" ”

didn't scream, Tang Jin could only bend over, anger burning in his heart.

It's just an unfavored son, why use this attitude towards him!

Under the anger, the tone is not very good.

"Yes, the last general is Tang Jin."

Liu Qi didn't mean to pursue it, and waved his hand lightly: "Drag it down, cut it." ”

What the?!

Tang Jin was shocked: "What does the eldest prince mean, what crime did the last general commit?!" ”

"What's the crime?" Liu Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, "You fornicated with the bandit leader and smuggled military grain and grass." If they do not report their knowledge, they will sit back and watch the bandits sit big and delay the military plane. The forcible occupation of farmland has left the people homeless and can only be left behind. Arrogant and lascivious, the people under the rule are not happy. ”

Every time he said a word, Tang Jin's face turned pale.

"One by one, which one of these things can't condemn you to death? You still have the face to ask, what crime have you committed? ”

Tang Jin sweated like rain, trembling all over, and didn't dare to say a word.

He clearly did these things very secretly. Especially the smuggling of military funds, only the confidant generals knew about it, and even Cai Mao never told it.

Prince, where did you find out?!

Liu Qi looked at Tang Jin's performance and sneered in his heart.

Each elite scout is the best spy, and the three white troops under his command, two of them scout the enemy, and one of them, infiltrated the wild goose city early to collect information about Tang Jin.

Unexpectedly, this investigation really gave him a big surprise.

The evidence of fornication and smuggling of military funds is conclusive.

In the barracks, there is no more serious crime.

I was still thinking about how to pull out the nail that Cai Mao planted in Yancheng and find a way to drive people away, but now, I don't have this concern at all.

"Drag it down, cut it."

Liu Qi repeated, Huo Quzhi turned over and dismounted, drew his saber and walked towards Tang Jin.

"No, you can't kill me, I'm the cousin of the military division's wife, and Cai Junshi won't let you go!"

Tang Jin yelled in horror, but no one listened to his defense.

The cold light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

Liu Qi looked at the silent appearance of Yancheng's civil and military forces, and smiled with satisfaction.

From this incident, what will be done in the future, there should be no one who does not have long eyes to show his eyes.

"Enter the city, drink wine and eat meat, and have a good rest!"

"Roaring ——!"

……

Next.

Jingzhou Thorn History Mansion, Council Hall.

The good news of Yancheng has been rushed from 800 miles, and whether it is Cai Mao or the family in the hall, they are waiting for Liu Qi's head to land. is still neutral, but those who have been disappointed in the eldest prince are all stunned.

Liu Cong stared at Cai Mao with questioning eyes - what the hell is going on?!

Didn't you say that it was foolproof, and I had already agreed with the Yancheng guard, why would I not leave Liu Qi with a glimmer of life?

Why did you suddenly win so much?!

I want to say that the eldest brother lied about his exploits, but the heads that can be sent are now piled up in the camp on the outskirts of the city, and it is indeed a big victory!

Cai Mao lowered her head stiffly, her face changed, and she only felt pain in her cheeks.
