486, Jin Qi, Mao Gan's thoughts
As the civil war in Danyang County gradually subsided, the Zhu Wei army in Danyang City began to march towards Wu County one by one.
And the two people who originally accepted Wang Yuyan's invitation and brought together Shanyue thieves from Jing County, She County, Yixian and other places to help in the battle, naturally thought about turning back to the old nest in the mountains.
This time, they raised troops to help, which can be regarded as giving face to the former Shanyue Sect Marshal Zulang, and even giving Wang Yuyan a face.
But this time, the news that Sun Ce's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by Zhu Wei's army in one day also made Mao Gan and Jin Qi feel a little jealous in their hearts, although they had already estimated the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's army, but after this battle, they felt that their estimates still underestimated the strength of Zhu Wei's army.
Therefore, as the war on the Danyang County side was understood, Mao Gan and Jin Qi inevitably came together, discussing how they should face the new Jiangdong situation next.
At the beginning of Zulang's banquet in Shanyue Dazhai in Jing County, Mao Gan and Jin Qi did not participate, but only sent his subordinates to participate in the banquet on their behalf, which shows that both of them are actually cautious types of rough and fine, and they will not easily let themselves be in danger.
This Mao Gan is now thirty-five years old, originally from the local Tu clan in She County, and it can be regarded as a strong family, and now he is mainly entrenched in Wuliao Mountain in She County as the nest of Dazhai, but from the outside, he looks more like a Confucian man, but not so much like a thief in the mountains.
And Jin Qi is only in his early thirties, he was originally a ranger in She County, and later made a mistake and led the crowd to entrench in Anle Mountain in She County, he looks like a fierce bandit, his hair is a little scattered and bound into a ponytail hanging on the back of his head, and he often holds a machete like a guillotine in his hand, and his martial arts are not bad.
These two people are the head snakes of She County, although they have their own mountain villages, they can be regarded as a small alliance in a group.
At the beginning, the two of them united with Fei Zhan to fight for power with Zu Lang, and with Fei Zhan being destroyed, after Zu Lang left Jing County, the two of them were regarded as kings without tigers and monkeys in the mountains, and now their power has naturally expanded a lot compared to before.
Of course, there will naturally be some small disputes in interests between these two people, but in general, they still maintain the state of alliance, and now the two of them feel a little threatened and panicked again in the face of the strong pressure shown by Zhu Wei's army.
This time, both of them received a letter from Wang Yuyan, saying that Zhu Wei's army was still going to Wu County to exterminate Zhou Yu and Yan Baihu, and they had no time to leave troops to guard Danyang City, hoping that they could lead troops to Danyang City to assist in garrisoning.
Of course, taking this opportunity, in order to thank them for their affection for sending troops to help, Wang Yuyan also prepared to feast the two of them and the other big and small Shanyue leaders they gathered this time in Danyang City.
In the letter, Wang Yuyan also said that she also had the intention of discussing with them about Shanyue in Shexian, Yixian, Jing County and other places at this banquet, and she could represent Zhu Wei to let them change from the identity of Shanyue thieves to the identity of being officially recognized, but the specific situation would naturally be decided after discussion.
Anyway, Wang Yuyan seems to be very sincere and polite.
But Mao Gan and Jin Qi are both suspicious people, but they are a little worried that Wang Yuyan asked them to go to Danyang City this time, whether there was another conspiracy, whether they wanted to take the opportunity to exterminate them.
After all, since ancient times, the government has never given a good face to bandits, and they have naturally heard of many old things about the government taking the opportunity to exterminate bandits in the name of recruiting security and the like.
Therefore, after receiving Wang Yuyan's letter, the two inevitably discussed together, whether to go back to their home or go to Danyang City to participate in Wang Yuyan's banquet, and then help garrison Danyang City.
Among them, Jin Qi is a little contradictory, if Wang Yuyan can really let them change from the current Shanyue thief status to the official recognition of legitimate identity, it must be the best, then they don't have to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the government, and they can also move from the mountains to the counties and towns outside the mountains to live a normal life.
After all, life in the mountains is hard, even if they are the identity of the handsome Shanyue, but in their village, there may not be a house to live in.
Besides, the combat effectiveness shown by Zhu Wei's army now also made him worry that if Zhu Wei's army really came to encircle and suppress them, they would be able to defend their lair.
Of course, now Wang Yuyan is still discussing, but how to place them is not necessarily, so Jin Qi is a little unwilling to lose his current identity as a handsome Shanyue, after all, being an ordinary person, he must not be at ease as a handsome Shanyue.
Especially Jin Qi's heart is also a little unstable, if Wang Yuyan is targeting them these mountain thieves this time, then he will automatically send it to the door, then he would rather go home now.
Anyway, Zu Lang and Wang Yuyan's face, he has already given it, since Sun Ce will not run into the mountains, then why should he continue to stay here, it is most reassuring to return to his cottage nest.
So Jin Qi had some habit of asking Mao Gan, a companion with a more flexible brain, to see what he meant.
Relatively speaking, Mao Gan is indeed more far-sighted than Jin Qi, in the original history Mao Gan had built a city in She County, you can know that he is actually not willing to be just an ordinary bandit leader.
"Gan, what do you think about this! Alas, I knew that Zhu Wei could have such a foundation as now, it was better to follow Zu Lang at the beginning, I heard that now Na Zu Lang is in charge of an army under Zhu Wei's account, stationed in the land of Jingnan, crusading against the barbarians in the mountains, and he is also a general, which is quite reused by Zhu Wei! ”
Jin Qi and Mao Gan were on the slope of the same mountain at the moment, cutting down a big tree as a case, and putting some wine and meat on the table while eating and chatting, at this time Jin Qi talked about Zu Lang, and his eyes showed a little envy.
"Alas, what else is there to say in the past, I didn't expect that such a son could have such a foundation now! Originally, I thought that I was lucky to occupy Yuzhang, and then I wanted to use the population of Jing County, She County, and Yi County to fill Yuzhang! Besides, do you want to take your people and leave their homeland to Yuzhang? ”
Mao Gan took a knife and cut slices of meat on the thigh of a roasted wild boar, and sent it to his mouth to chew, although he likes to dress up as a Confucian on weekdays, but in fact, he is also a handsome character like Shanyue after all, so naturally he cannot be a real Confucian person.
"So now, what are we going to do, this Jiangdong has changed hands, then Zhu Wei is afraid that he will not be able to let us wander in the mountains like Liu Xuan! That Zhu Wei even wants to control the barbarians in Jingnan Mountain, so these mountain people like us will naturally not let go! If you don't, I'm afraid you'll ......."
Jin Qi looked a little worried, although now they can roar the mountains and be the king of the mountains, but it is also because the Han clan relatives like Liu Miao can't look down on poor counties in the mountains like Jing County, She County, and Yi County, and have no intention of doing anything to them.
Therefore, although they occasionally went out to the mountains to plunder, they did not attract Liu Xuan's regular official army to encircle and suppress them, but now if Zhu Wei is replaced as the lord of Jiangdong, I am afraid that they will not ignore their existence.
Especially when Zu Lang took away so many people from the mountains, if he was Zhu Wei, he would naturally not let go of the people hidden in the mountains......
