Wanling County

Wanling County is located in the south of Guxi, which is the second county seat from Guxi to Jingliao County, and it is also the only way to go to Jingliao County; Because Wanling County is relatively close to the county seat and there are no bandits and bandits, whether it is officials or ordinary people, it is much richer than other counties.

The county order of Wanling County is called Wu Cheng, and he is a county order that has passed the imperial court and has been elected by the imperial court, and has been diligent and diligent for many years, and has been in power for many years, and has been honest and honest for the officials, and the reputation of the official voice is also good, and it is also deeply loved by the people, and it is majestic in the eyes of outsiders, but his family knows his own affairs, and he said that it is the county order, in fact, it is not worthy of the name.

There are three major families in Wanling County, among which the Li family is the most powerful, while the Zhao and Qian families are headed by the Li family; The imperial court explicitly ordered that a county could only have 1,000 officers and soldiers to defend the army, which restricted Wu Cheng's development; The Li family has more than 1,000 private soldiers, as well as Zhao and Qian, and the three major families have more than 2,000 private soldiers, so Wanling County is nominally Wu Cheng's county order, but in fact, many things are no longer up to him.

It's like entering this time when the prince passed the order, the soldiers in each county pretended to be bandits to eliminate Wang Xu's grain team, Wu Cheng himself definitely didn't want to go, this first, Wu Cheng is an honest official, he has always been the prince's person, and he never listened to the orders of the prince, since Wang Xu was sent by the prince to Jingliao County to suppress bandits, how could he pretend to be a bandit to intercept. Second, there are a total of 1,000 defenders in the county, and their power is already inferior to the three major families, if there are more casualties; At that time, he was afraid that even the county seat would belong to someone else, and after thinking about it, Wu Cheng decided to convene the patriarchs of the three major families to discuss together.

"Wu Cheng, what is the matter with summoning us and the others? The clan is busy with things, but I don't have time to listen to you say those big truths" The head of the Li family is named Li Yue, and he is the fourth generation head of the Li family, and everything in the clan is decided by him.

"Let's take a look at this bamboo slip first" Wu Cheng handed the order sent by the prince to Li Yue, and said: "The order of the prince is very clear, those who get Wang Xu's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be crowned a general; Wu knows that he is not the material to be a general, so Wu wants to give you this great credit, I don't know what you think? ”

"Is that true? But what Shizi said was to let the county commanders lead troops to block the attack, and I waited to go rashly, is it a little inappropriate? Li Yue asked after reading the bamboo slips. There is nothing wrong with it, what the prince wants is the head of Wang Xu, as for who made the work, I think the prince will not delve into it", Wu Cheng asked the three major families to go to block Wang Xu, this move seems to be ordinary, but in fact the intentions are sinister, Wang Xu was ordered to take the grain, and there are two thousand soldiers under his command, no matter whether the three major families can capture and kill Wang Xu, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the so-called wounded enemy is one thousand self-damage and eight hundred is this Daoli. At that time, the strength of the three major families will be greatly weakened, and he will be able to completely control Wanling County.

But the head of the three major families is not a fool, he can achieve the position of the head of the family, which one is not an old fox, the head of the Zhao family looked at Wu Cheng, and said gloomily: "Lord Wu, you are really well-intentioned."

"Hmph, don't you just want to use Wang Xu's hand to weaken the strength of our three major families, how can such a plan be hidden from us, it's ridiculous." The head of the Qian family snorted coldly. "You". The strategy was seen through, and Wu Cheng was speechless.

Li Yue handed the bamboo slip to Wu Cheng and said confidently: "Our three major families have taken over this transaction, and we should also decide this general; But don't be naïve to think that one Wang Xu can weaken us, and from then on you can completely control Wanling County, let me tell you, even if our three major families have no soldiers and horses, it is not something that you can restrain with a small county order."

"Big brother".

"Brother Li".

Regarding Li Yue's decision, the two masters were very puzzled, knowing that it was a trap, they still wanted to jump: "Brother Li, that Wang Xu is not easy to mess with, he has two thousand soldiers under him, I heard that they are all Guxi guards, it is not easy to deal with, why are you bothering?" ”

"Two brothers don't need to be nervous, Wang Xu, a new general, has only two thousand people, more than two hundred miles from Guxi Wangcheng to here, belongs to the labor division far away, and our three major families also have two thousand private soldiers, we can ambush in advance and wait for him to come and die; Not only occupies the right time and place, but also waits for work with ease, how can there be a reason for invincibility? ”

After Li Yue said this, the two masters also felt that they had the chance to win, not only could they be crowned generals, but also rewarded with a thousand taels of gold; Don't be in vain, the two decisively agreed: "It's all up to the eldest brother"

"Okay, Lord Wu, then I'll leave later, you just sit and wait for our good news, haha" After the three family heads finished speaking, they laughed and walked out of the county office.

Thirty miles west of Wanling, here is Wang Xu's military camp, after two days of marching, more than 50 miles advanced, the army camped, ready to bury the pot to make rice.

"General, there is a person outside the camp, who claims to be the general's deceased, and asks to see the general" A small soldier walked into the big tent and reported for duty.

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, he is from the 21st century, he is not from here at all, he has not been here for a month, where did he come from: "Drive him away, this general has no old people."

"But the man said that if the general did not see him, he would wait outside the camp until the general summoned him."

Sun Yu persuaded: "General, it's better to see each other, maybe it's really the general's old man, and it doesn't have to be." Is "fart" another traverser? Even if I am a time-traveler, how does he know that I am from the 21st century? couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, Wang Xu had no choice but to say, "Okay, call him in."

After a while, the soldier led an old man into the big tent of the Chinese army, the old man was dressed in black, and he still had a cloak on his head, so even if he walked into the big tent, Wang Xu couldn't see his face clearly.

The old man took it down and said, "Wanling County ordered Wu Cheng to meet the general."

"Wanling County Order? What are you doing here? ”

Wu Cheng looked at the soldiers next to him and Sun Yu next to Wang Xu, and said in a deep voice: "There is something important in this county to report to the general, can the general retreat."

"You go down first" After waving his hand to send the soldiers away, Wang Xu pointed to Sun Yu next to him and said: "You don't have to retreat from this, he is my most trusted brother, you can say anything directly." Listening to Wang Xu say that he was his most trusted brother, Sun Yu was moved but also moved, and swore in his heart that he would repay the general's kindness one day.

In fact, it's not that I don't want to retire Sun Yuping, but I don't dare, thinking about how much I have harmed the world, with the character of the world, can I swallow this breath? An old man came for no reason, first said that he was his old man, and then said that he was the county magistrate of Wanling County, who knows if he was an assassin sent by the prince, and he didn't know martial arts, if the old man burst out and killed people, wouldn't he die? It's different with Sun Yu by his side, with Sun Yu's martial arts, if you want to solve an old man, it's not a matter of catching him.
