Chapter 406 Selfishness or Misfortune
This kind of dialogue does not only happen in Yingzhong.Miss Xu San is now a man of the world's attention. She led troops out of Nanyuan, and she has long been the target of all parties.It's just that each family is close or far away, and the news arrives at different times.

Seizing the city in three days, the casualties of one's own side can be ignored, and all the rebels were killed... This is much more cruel than killing Wu Zijing!If she is willing, will any city in Chudi have the surname Xu?And she also built a Beijing temple!She captured all the rebels and killed them all. Who is Zhujing Temple scaring?Of course they are the people!
Shivering.

But Xu Yin didn't know this, she was concentrating on cleaning up the mess.

This kind of slaughtered city, all the grassroots governance has been completely destroyed, and it will take some effort to rebuild it.Fortunately, when she came out, all the cao soldiers she brought with her were a complete team. Although things were complicated, they were handy.

When Xingtong gradually got on the right track, Wei Jun came to report that the original garrison had returned.

Xu Yin stopped what he was doing and asked him, "The letter has been delivered? When will it arrive?"

"afternoon."

Xu Yin nodded and said, "You go to meet him, what to do with him."

"Yes." Wei Jun understood and went out to make arrangements.

Xingtong, the commander of the army, is a bit intriguing to say.

The mountain people made trouble, and he was sent out to suppress the rebellion. This is a normal thing, but what happened later was not normal.

First, he didn't see that it wasn't the mountain people who made the trouble, but the rebels hiding in the middle.Second, when the rebellious soldiers played a game of east and west, he fell into the trick.Third, after the rebellious soldiers captured the city, he could have rushed back quickly, but he didn't.Fourth, when the Nanyuan army arrived, he didn't come to join him, but waited until the dust settled before showing up.

The first two points show that he is not capable enough to take on a big job.The latter two points are more problematic. If they are lighter, they hide selfish intentions; if they are heavier, they hide evil intentions.

……

"General, they have accepted the letter sent back."

In the mountain depression more than 20 miles away from the city, the soldiers reported this.

Xingtong's general was named Fan Ming, and he was quite comfortable in this position.Xingtong is a small place, mostly in mountainous areas, with a small population and low taxes.There is not much oil and water in such a place, but few people take care of it, so it is very comfortable.He has no ambitions in himself, and is very satisfied.

The mountain people made troubles in the past, and they sent people to stroll around, and it was almost settled.This time there was a lot of trouble, and it was heard that even the county town had been captured, so Fan Ming brought most of the troops out.

Something happened in this area.Xingtong is too remote and comfortable, and the garrison is not strong. Fan Ming also took away the relatively elite group, and the old, weak and remnant soldiers left behind are no match for the rebellious soldiers.

Fan Ming, who was halfway there, heard that Xingtong was gone, and with a "buzz" in his head, he realized that something was wrong.

His family fortune is in prosperity, the loss of the city means his family fortune is gone, where will he go now?

But he reacted quickly.Who said he has no family background?Aren't the thousands of elite soldiers on hand his family property?They used to belong to Xingtong, but now that Governor Qi is gone, it belongs to him!
In troubled times, soldiers are the most valuable.He has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, so he can't find a place to vote, who doesn't treat him with all kinds of courtesy?Or find a county seat and occupy it by yourself, and slowly develop and grow.The so-called hero comes out of troubled times, if he is lucky, maybe he can make a fortune!
The more Fan Ming thought about it, the hotter he became.No matter how incompetent a person is, he has ambitions. In the past, he never thought of this possibility, but now that the situation has reached this point, it is like the wind fueling a fire. No matter how small a flame is, it can burn into a sea of ​​flames.

He was smug and almost made up his mind.

Just go to the county town that was captured. Those sturdy mountain people were killed by the rebels. Once they withdrew, it was basically empty.Moreover, it is neither far nor close to Xingtong, who knows if those rebels will leave Xingtong after the disaster?In that case, he will go back to Xingtong, and he will be the master of Xingtong from now on!

The plan was well done, but before he left, the Nanyuan army arrived.

"Miss Xu San has come in person. The troops led by Du Ming and Wei Jun are about ten thousand, and more than half of the cavalry are elite soldiers." The subordinates were very excited, "General, shall we go to meet up? Take Xingtong back!"

"no!"

He refused too quickly, and his subordinates showed a little doubt: "General?"

Fan Ming racked his brains to come up with an excuse: "Who knows what the Nanyuan army is here for? What if they are here to grab territory? Then not only those rebels will be beaten, but us too!"

"But..." The subordinate was very embarrassed.Most of the sergeants were locals. When they heard that Xingtong had been slaughtered, the crowd was furious and wanted to fight back.

"Wait a little longer." Fan Ming reassured, "We're going to reunite, and the city won't be taken back overnight. Let's see what Mrs. Xu is doing before making a decision. After all, we can't afford to lose."

This made sense, and the subordinates finally obeyed.

In fact, what Fan Ming thought was that since Mrs. Xu wants to meddle in this business, let her run into trouble!It's true that Miss Xu San is very powerful, but fighting is different from assassination. A novice who has never led a soldier will be in every position. Does she think she is the second son of Yan?Even Yan Er, it's because of the famous generals in his family who grew up in the military camp since he was a child.

In Fan Ming's prediction, it would not be a problem for the Nanyuan army to take down Xingtong, but it is hard to say how much of the ten thousand troops brought by Miss Xu San will be left.It's best to lose both sides, and he will take the opportunity to appear again. Nanyuan is worried that he will be too late, so the best choice is to share the benefits with him.

At that time, as a local snake, will he still suffer?If he can find a way to take Miss Xu San off, then he is the real master of Xingtong.

Who knew that after only three days, the city was reported to be broken.Immediately afterwards, the subordinates came down to report that Ms. Xu San had built a Jingguan at the gate of the city.

Fan Ming's newly grown ambition was half extinguished in an instant.

Miss Xu San, is she really a born famous general?And it was so cruel, how many people had to be killed to build the Jingguan!
"General, shall we go back?" The subordinate was beaming, "Xingtong has been taken back, and everyone wants to go back to see how the family is doing."

Fan Ming nodded: "Go back."

He was still dubious in his heart, mainly because it was hard to say how much combat power the rebels had. Desperadoes who had nowhere to go could wipe out a city, but they might also collapse under the impact of regular troops.

Furthermore, the soldiers under his hand did not allow him to procrastinate any longer, and they might not follow him if he didn't return.

Then go back and have a look. If Mrs. Xu is really good, it's okay to vote for them. Anyway, if you change masters, you will be better than before.If there is any inside story in it, then he has to think of a way to get some benefits for himself.

　Xu San: Thank you for the invitation. In fact, I didn’t do anything. The main reason is that my subordinates are too capable.

　　……

　　I attended a meeting the day before yesterday, and then I lost my pace, and I slept in a mess these two days.
