I saw the fourth day of the bet.

The city was still calm, Xu Xian did not transfer troops out of the city, and Heifeng Village outside the city did not rashly attack the county seat.

The two sides seemed to be in harmony, and even the people from Heifeng Village did not come out to rob the official road, but even so, Xu Xian's side was completely at a disadvantage, after all, there were only less than two days left before the agreed time.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Xu Xian asked about the training, and Du Yong asked the people from Dujiazhai to come over to accept Xu Xian's review.

In the school field in the east of the city, Xu Xian is like a high-ranking general, in front of him, there are just more than forty young men from Dujiazhai, which is already the strongest soldiers and horses under his hands.

In fact, there are more than 50 soldiers in the city, and the team is thicker than the young and strong people of Dujiazhai, but in terms of spirit, these people are far inferior to the people of Dujiazhai, and even these people have some contempt for Xu Xian.

Zhang Han, the warden of the military room, used to take these people to do a lot of bad things, and how many of these people were bought by bandits outside the city, Xu Xian couldn't care about them one by one.

Xu Xian said on the rostrum, with a self-made megaphone: "This official is about to attack the Black Wind Village, this is a cottage that does all kinds of evil in the locality, but God has the virtue of a good life, if someone surrenders, he must not kill the prisoners, let alone attack the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, after the victory, he must not casually rob the spoils, and after returning, the official will make a distribution as appropriate!" ”

One of the local soldiers in Yanshan County shouted: "We don't want to accompany the adults to their deaths!" ”

Du Yong walked over and shouted, "Whoever shouted, come out!" ”

Those soldiers let out a burst of laughter, none of them came out, the organization and discipline of these soldiers were also very poor, even if they practiced for a long time, these people were still confused, they didn't plan to die for Xu Xian at all.

Xu Xian didn't let Du Yong continue to look for the person who spoke, he thought to himself: "These people are not very disciplined, but they can also take them and go together to fill the façade." ”

"This official has always been fair, if in the process of pacifying Heifeng Village this time, whoever has an accident will give a hundred taels of silver to settle in!" Xu Xian said.

"Huh?" Hearing this figure of settling-in expenses, the people present couldn't help but exclaim, this number sounded simply terrible, one hundred taels at once, and it seemed worth exchanging their lives for it.

Xu Xian said again: "If you are injured, you will also be given ten taels of silver to fifty taels of silver as appropriate, so that you don't have to worry about anything, and this official will definitely not let you take risks." After this battle, the official will give each person five taels of silver, whether they win or not, or if they are damaged! ”

One hundred taels for the dead, ten taels to fifty taels for the wounded, and five taels of silver for each person, the soldiers present felt that it was a good deal.

Many people are thinking: "Damn, the new magistrate is generous, even if he comes back with a mixed fight, and becomes a deserter after the war, won't he be able to get back five taels of silver?" ”

Thinking of this, many people are secretly having fun, as if this battle is to follow to pick up money.

He Yu walked over and said, "My lord, the soldiers and horses have been put in order, I don't know when to set off?" ”

"Go back to the barracks and wait!" Xu Xian looked very calm, "If you want to set off, this official will inform you, and when the time comes, the Black Wind Village will be leveled in one fell swoop!" ”

……

……

The soldiers dispersed, and each went back to his house to find his mother.

No one knew the detailed time of Xu Xian's actions, and even these strategists around Xu Xian didn't know much about Xu Xian's arrangements.

That night, Xu Xian still went as usual and went home to rest, at this time, there was only one day and two nights left before the agreed time of Pingheifeng Village.

After Xu Xian came back, even Bai Suzhen was very curious and asked, "Official, you haven't paid much attention to the military these days, but you already have the confidence to win?" ”

"Even the lady thinks I might fail?" Xu Xian said with a smile, "Actually, if you want to fight Black Wind Village, you must be surprised, if the people of Black Wind Village find out my movements, then there is no possibility of winning this battle." ”

Bai Suzhen nodded, and didn't ask much, she said: "Officials, guessing with the concubine, every day Heifeng Village will strengthen its vigilance, and at that time, the people of Heifeng Village will release arrows in the city, and the officials are afraid that it will be difficult to break through the mountain gate of the camp." ”

Xu Xian said with a smile: "Lady, attacking the mountain gate, you don't necessarily need to break through the camp gate, sometimes, you can also make some changes according to the terrain!" Now let the husband sell it first, and then the lady will be clear. ”

"Hmm." Bai Suzhen nodded, she still had confidence in Xu Xian.

Even Bai Suzhen is ready to help Xu Xian, she will never let Xu Xian fail in the bet.

This involves Xu Xian's future official career.

But she was also worried in her heart: "If it was a normal time, I would be confident in this battle, but I saw the banshee with a high cultivation before, and I don't know where she came from, if she stood on the side of the Black Wind Village, I am afraid it would not be easy to deal with!" No, I have to take Xiaoqing to find out this banshee when I go back, even if it doesn't hurt her life, I can't let her ruin the good things of the officials. ”

……

……

Xu Xian's side is not in a hurry, but the Black Wind Village side is like a big enemy.

The big families in the city are keeping a close eye on the movements in the city.

Especially Zhu Xing, Bai Qiyuan and others.

Zhu Xing sent a lot of people out of the city to investigate the situation of Heifeng Village and the surrounding cottages, and through his return, he learned that these cottages were defending themselves and did not attack rashly.

“…… Master, now it seems that none of these cottages have shown any flaws, and I haven't heard of any cottages being bought by the new magistrate, where did this magistrate get his confidence, and he dared to say that he would go to Ping Heifeng Village in less than two days left? The subordinates of the Zhu family said to Zhu Xing with questions in their hearts.

At this time, next to Zhu Xing, it was Bai Qiyuan, Bai Qiyuan looked at Zhu Xing and said: "Brother Zhonglian, you said that this surname is Xu, do you know that this bet will definitely fail, so he gave up in advance?" ”

Zhu Xing asked rhetorically: "If others give up in advance, why do you have to go to see the soldiers at the end of the day today and make a mobilization?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Qiyuan was also puzzled, he couldn't answer Zhu Xing's question at all.

Zhu Xing asked his subordinate again: "Is the county magistrate's yamen also calm tonight?" ”

"Yes, master, the new magistrate has gone back to his yard, and the courtyard is being stared at, so there shouldn't be any big problems!" The Zhu family's subordinates said.

"Then there is no problem, first send someone to instruct Zhang Han, let him get in touch with the soldiers in the city, especially those subordinates he has bought over the years, and be sure to pass on the news of the march as soon as possible!" Zhu Xingdao.

Bai Qiyuan said: "Then Brother Zhonglian, there are no other problems, right?" ”

"It should be gone, Xu Hanwen should want to act again on the last day, we just have to wait for the last day!" Zhu Xing clenched his fists and said.
