Thinking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't sit still.

Originally, the plan was to stay in Barren Mountain Village for a while, and then return to Daliu Town after the high-end tavern was completed and Barren Mountain Village was upgraded to a 'township'.

Now, it seems, things have changed.

"Guo Lao, the barren mountain village will be handed over to you first, the situation in Shanwu City has changed, I need to lead the army back to Daliu Town." Xiao Jing said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, the barren mountain village will be handed over to the old decay, and it will live up to the trust of the lord!" Guo Yun looked solemn and assured loudly.

Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction, leaving more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in the barren mountain village and the pre-Qin secret realm.

Then, thinking of the huge number of yellow turbans outside Shanwu City, Xiao Jing felt a pressure in his heart, and decided to recruit the 'Wind Cavalry'.

After capturing the first layer of the Pre-Qin Secret Realm, he harvested nearly 800 taels of gold, which was a huge property.

If it is all used to recruit wind cavalry, it can even recruit nearly 300 units, but if it is really recruited like this, then Xiao Jing will be a little reckless.

You must know that raising soldiers is a huge expense, Xiao Jing previously occupied the first layer of the pre-Qin secret realm, and was able to mobilize the secret realm guards with the identity of the 'master of the secret realm', but at the same time, he also had to pay the salaries of these secret realm guards, more than 1,200 units of terracotta warriors, and more than 2,200 units of hard labor, which was a huge expense, with a monthly salary of nearly 150 taels of gold. This is not in addition to the salaries of other classes such as pikemen, village warriors, and wind cavalry.

If you can't pay your salary on time, you won't have a problem for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, the whole army will be finished.

Therefore, how many soldiers are raised in a large territory,......

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Jing didn't dare to storm easily, he really couldn't afford to rely on the output of one hundred and ten taels of gold per month in Barren Mountain Village and Daliu Town!

In this era when the majesty of the Han Dynasty is still there, and the annexation of various places is strictly ordered, the way of fighting the violent soldiers to feed the war is a dead end, and the violent death is faster.

Through the primary shop, Xiao Jing contacted the 'Tamu tribe'.

After several transactions, the Tamu tribe also has a preliminary understanding of the barren mountain village, and in the eyes of the Tamu tribe, the barren mountain village is a small village and there is no need to worry.

It is precisely because of this that the merchants of Barren Mountain Village are not unimpeded in the Tamu tribe, at least most of the areas can be visited, providing Xiao Jing with a lot of information......

After learning about Xiao Jing's request to buy a batch of dead horses, the Tamu tribe readily agreed to the deal.

During this time, the Tamu tribe was fighting another tribe in the desert, and many horses died.

Seeing that Xiao Jing wanted to buy it, the Tamu tribe simply sold it all to him.

120 dead horses, costing 10 gold.

After that, Xiao Jing rushed to the Wind Cavalry, and after consuming all the dead horses, he spent 240 gold to recruit 120 units of the Wind Cavalry.

After that, Xiao Jing hurriedly returned to Daliu Town with 120 units of wind cavalry and more than 3,000 soldiers.

……

"What's going on now?"

As soon as he returned to the mayor's mansion of Daliu Town, before he could sit down, Xiao Jing called Niu Yang and asked eagerly.

When Niu Yang heard this, his face first showed a trace of solemnity, and said:

"The Yellow Turbans have built a large number of siege equipment, and now they are launching a large-scale attack on Shanwu City, and the situation in Shanwu City is very dangerous......"

"And just this morning, Zhao Ming, the county commander of Shanwucheng, issued a decree to the whole county of Shanwucheng, requesting: All towns in the county should send troops to support Shanwucheng?!"

"On behalf of the county order?" Xiao Jing grasped the key point and asked.

Niu Yang nodded without changing his face, bent down and whispered in Xiao Jing's ear:

"News from the spies in the city that Liu Xian Ling is now sick in bed, and I am afraid that his life will not be long in the future!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jing was overjoyed, but it was not obvious on his face, but he turned his head as if he thought of something, but instead sighed:

"The county commander has worked hard, but now he is ......"

Niu Yang also let out a long sigh when he heard this, and sighed: "Lord, Liu Xian Ling has always been in good health, how could he suddenly be sick in bed, there must be something strange in this!" ”

"The subordinates guessed, I'm afraid that Zhao Ming assassinated ...... for the position of 'county order'"

As he spoke, Niu Yang pretended to shake his head.

This......

Xiao Jing looked at Niu Yang, whose face did not change, with some surprise.

I didn't expect Niu Yang, who looks honest on weekdays, to be so black-bellied......

However, this big hat was buckled on the Zhao family...... I like it!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing's expression was Lingran, and he followed Niu Yang's words: "I didn't expect this county lieutenant Zhao to be so unwise and assassinate the county commander!" ”

Anyway, whether it is true or not, here in Xiao Jing, it was Zhao Ming who assassinated Liu County.

After that, it is good to become famous, and even reasonably take control of Shanwucheng from the Zhao family!

"This ......" Niu Yang just wanted to echo Xiao Jing and say a few words, when he heard a commotion outside.

"Lord Chang, the mayor is deliberating, can't go in, can't go in!!"

Outside the mayor's mansion in Daliu Town, a guard looked anxious, wanting to block the entry of Chang Palace.

"What's the matter?!"

The noise outside the mansion caused Xiao Jing's unhappiness, and when he and Niu Yang left the mansion, they saw Chang Gong trying to break into the mansion, but was stopped by the guards.

"Lord Chang? What are you? ”

Seeing this, Xiao Jing had a shocked expression on his face, but in his heart he was faintly aware of Chang Gong's purpose.

"You're not going to retreat?!" Xiao Jing reprimanded the guards and welcomed Changgong into the mansion.

"Alas...... Let Lord Xiao laugh! ”

Chang Gong tidied up his scattered clothes, a wry smile appeared on his face, and his heart was full of bitterness and anxiety.

Before, there was news from Shanwu City that the county commander was critically ill, which made him shocked, and he immediately lost his inch!

You must know that although his current power is heavy, it is because it is based on the background of the Liuxian Order, and if he is replaced by the 'Zhao family', then he will be finished.

This is also one of the reasons why he was so anxious when he heard that the county commander was critically ill.

Thinking of the county magistrate in the city, Chang Gong forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and spoke.

"Don't hide it from Lord Xiao, Lord County Commander, he ...... Alas, the purpose of my visit must be clear to Lord Xiao......"

Xiao Jing and Niu Yang glanced at each other.

Instead, Xiao Jing's face showed a hint of righteousness, and he said with righteousness:

"In this matter, I was about to tell Lord Chang that this Zhao family was simply lawless, and for the position of the county commander, he actually assassinated the county commander!"

"I can't see it anymore, I'm preparing to raise troops to support Shanwu City, and save the county commander by the way!"

In the end of what Xiao Jing said, it seemed that even he believed his nonsense, his face was full of righteousness, his face was full of indignation, and he seemed to be really upset about the county order.

"This !!"

Chang Gong took a deep look at Xiao Jing's performance.

But now, he doesn't dare to expose Xiao Jing's clumsy performance, and even has to cooperate with him.

In the end, he pulled out an ugly smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiao, the situation in Shanwu City is very dangerous, and I hope that Lord Xiao will raise troops as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing that Chang Gong was so knowledgeable, Xiao Jing and Niu Yang glanced at each other and smiled.

As the confidant of the Liu County Order, Chang Gong's words are extremely heavy, and with Chang Gong's certification, it doesn't matter whether the Zhao family has done anything to the county order.

In other words, from now on, Xiao Jing has 'great righteousness' in his hands.

Taking the city of goodness is just around the corner!
