In order to know for sure whether Shamoko was really in pursuit, I used almost all fifty horses in the entire team.

These horses and their owners are all distributed from Wuling City to Dongting Port in various suitable hiding places, these hiding points are separated from each other from west to east, in each hiding point I left five people and five horses, I ordered them to immediately mount their horses and retreat in the direction of Dongting Port as soon as they see the barbarian army, but before retreating, they must at least ensure that they are discovered by the barbarian army, it is absolutely impossible to be overtaken, but it is absolutely impossible to run too fast so that the enemy loses the target.

To be on the safe side, these fifty people were all selected from my 100-man personal guard, and the leader of the first ambush point was Zheng Liang, who had just been promoted by me to captain of the 100-man team. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and if the first point does not lead the enemy, then my next nine points are likely to be in vain.

Ma Tan has been sullen since he went out of town with me, and I can understand that. In fact, he should have made a lot of determination to leave Nanjun and come to me, after all, Liu Bei can't look down on him as a monarch, and he is the common lord of our people, and I am just a county guard, and I am still the kind of young person who is not worthy of the name. Now that he has arrived in Wuling, he has not shown any talents, and he has not made any contributions, so he followed me to "abandon the city and flee" and went back to Nanjun, and was asked by others with his character, where can he put his little face!

However, since he listened to my deployment and saw that there was a temptation in my deployment, he became much more energetic, and it seemed that he had some good plan, so I had the heart to hold him back, so I pretended not to see it, and only urged the rest of the people and me to rush to Dongting as soon as possible.

When I arrived outside the city of Hanshou County, no one in the city went out of the city to greet me, and the low city walls were full of warriors with guns and bows. I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw this scene, and thought to myself, which is this singing? A small county commander saw that the Lord Taishou dared not open the city to greet him, not far away the scout I had sent before saw that we had arrived, and the helpless and frightened fast horse rushed to me, he complained to me with a very angry look that the county commander of Hanshou County was still kind and pleasant when he saw him in the county office, who knew the reason why I came here, he immediately changed his face, and directly drove the scout out out of the city with people and horses, and closed the city gate as if he was facing a great enemy.

When I learned about the basic situation in the county, I knew that his name was Xie Xian, and there were many fishermen in the county who relied on Dongting Lake to fish, and these fishermen were self-organized, although they were under the jurisdiction of the government, they also had their own rules, and the taxes they paid accounted for more than two-thirds of the tax revenue of Hanshou County.

Of course, because I just read the information that Gong Zhi brought to me, and I didn't ask Gong Zhi about the specific situation of the magistrate from county to county, so I am not very familiar with this Xie Xian, but judging from the current behavior that he dares to do to Taishou, he should be a thorn, not a master to think with.

Whether the strategy I used to fight against the barbarians can be effectively implemented, the cooperation of Hanshou County can be said to account for a very important part, and now the unexpected situation I am facing really surprises me, no matter what, I have to go to Xie Xian's city to ask him what he wants to do, if he suddenly has a stroke in his head and wants to pull the county's people to rebel, I only have more than 500 people under my command, and Zheng Liang is not around, how can Jiang Xiaoyu, who looks like he is dead, be reliable? Then I don't have to think of any clever plans, I will be scolded desperately, at least I will stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, or really take people back to Nanjun from Dongting Port.

I walked to the foot of Hanshou City, and it was obvious that the thin little old man in the middle of the city should be Xie Xian. Time is urgent, Shamoke can't say when he will chase here, and I am not in the mood to talk nonsense with Xie Xian, I took out the big seal of the county city from my arms and shook it at him, and shouted directly to Xie Xian: "Xie Xian!" Do you know that I am the Taishou of Wuling County? Other county commanders stammered when they saw me, are you trying to rebel by doing this? ”

When I shouted this, the archers in the city were very polite and did not point their bows and arrows at me, which made me feel that I still had a little face. Unexpectedly, Xie Xian's expression was not panicked at all when he heard my words, and he asked me very unceremoniously from the city: "You said that you are the Taishou of Wuling County, then let me ask you, the Wuxi barbarians came to attack the county town, you are not good to sit in the city and wait for reinforcements, what are you doing here?" ”

I didn't expect him to ask this, and I couldn't help but be a little annoyed after being stunned, and I said to him, "What qualifications do you have as a county magistrate to talk to me like this?" I've watched the drama for so many years, but I've only heard that the county order is too shou to question the county order, where is the county order to question the too shou? ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Xian was not afraid of my anger at all, but he said to me in a very contemptuous tone: "If you are too conservative for the people, you are too conservative, and if you are too conservative and abandon the people, how can you talk about being conservative?" If you don't defend it, of course you will have reason to question you in the future! ”

These words did not make me more annoyed, but made me secretly surprised in my heart, I knew that in the current situation, I would definitely not be able to enter this Hanshou City, fortunately, my real killing move was not here, so I pretended to say to him in a tone that was even more disdainful than his: "It seems that you haven't heard of my Yuannan victory?" ”

But Xie Xian replied to me: "Killing 100 people is just a trick like driving dogs and rabbits, and when you hear 100,000 enemies, you will be so frightened that you will be so scared that you will be dung and urine, and you will flee in the wilderness!" ”

When he said this, the warriors around me who had experienced Yuannan with me became indignan, and of course they didn't know that I didn't really run away, so under this intense indignation, they also revealed deep sadness and helplessness.

I thought to myself: "How can I know your master's plan." Because of the urgency of time, he had no intention of arguing with him, so he just said: "How can a small county magistrate see the means of a county magistrate!" "After saying that, he ordered someone to leave the city with me and go straight to Dongting Port, with Xie Xian's matter, it was even more determined that I would fight a war, so that all the soldiers and civilians in the county would obey my plan.

There is not much gossip, when I arrived at Dongting Port, more than an hour passed, and it was already past noon, because Wuling was not particularly far from Nanjun, and my team was only more than 500 pure soldiers, and for the needs of the war, when I came out of the city, I didn't even bring a single servant except Qing'er, so everyone including me only brought simple and unpalatable dry food, but when I arrived at Dongting Port and saw the extremely prosperous scene of the port, I had the idea of eating a good meal.

Of course, I can't do so many people eating fish for me and Qing'er, although this time I came out to fight, but Qing'er still brought out the money to buy a few fish. After I took out the money from Qing'er, I gave it to Jiang Xiaoyu and asked him to take his ten people to buy some fish and rice and borrow some simple cooking utensils.

Jiang Xiaoyu showed a strange expression for a moment, but he didn't say much, he just took someone to buy fish, I didn't think much about it, I didn't expect this guy to be really the same as the Jiang Xiaoyu in the book, a character who was born to poke the basket.
