Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14 Bleach Five

Take Mushan as the county lieutenant to replace Chen Feng?

Cai Tu immediately understood that this was to hold the military power and guard against his own future.

But Cai Tu still shook his head.

It wasn't that Cai Tu didn't want to agree, he also knew that if Mu Shan and the others couldn't hold the military power, they wouldn't be able to trust him at all, but Mu Shan definitely couldn't.

A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a sensation all over the world, and Nanyang County was one of the war zones. Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Nanyang Yellow Turban, was hailed by the court as a confidant, and his importance was not inferior to the three Zhang brothers.

As for Zhang Mancheng's five major generals, which one is not famous in the court.

In recent years, Nanyang County has not been peaceful, because the fighting was too ruthless, the lives of many people were destroyed by the war, and countless people were turned into bandits. Mushan is not the most powerful, but it is ranked No. [-] in the entire Nanyang County Yi's confidant's serious trouble is because he is the only remaining one of the five generals under Zhang Mancheng's command.

Back then when Zhang Mancheng attacked Wancheng, he was the first to climb to the top of the city and broke into the city with three hammers. He made many Han troops frightened by the news, and there were countless people who knew him among the soldiers of Nanyang County.

It's too easy to expose.

Once his identity is exposed, he will become a traitor, which he cannot accept.

"Your magistrate, you don't need to worry about this!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Most of us are Taiping Daoists. Although Taiping Dao is not the righteous way, there are many heretical skills. It is not difficult to change a person's face. My father is sure that he will never expose it. Besides, our fate is connected, if it is exposed, we will die first, won't we?"

Mujing asked Mushan about this matter, and Mushan agreed.

Before, he was going to recommend Cheng Luo or Zhao Pinglei to take the position of county lieutenant and control the military power, but Mushan said that Hong Lang on Mushroom Mountain has a skill, he is good at putting on face, changing people's appearance, he just needs to change weapons , it is not difficult to fool the past.

The Yellow Turban Army originated from the disciples of Taiping Dao. Although Taiping Dao is a flag pulled out by Zhang Jiao, it still has a deep foundation. It has gathered countless rangers, many of whom have unique skills.

So Mu Jing still decided to let Mu Shan become the county captain, because the military power is the most reassuring only if it is in his own hands.

"I have forgotten that in the Taiping Dao, there are many thieves, there are countless rangers, and there are people who are good at the art of Qi and Huang, the way of the Mohists, etc. If Mu Yuanzhong is not afraid of being exposed, there are people Possibly!" Cai Tu was taken aback when he heard this, and then sneered.

"Now as long as the county magistrate is willing to cooperate with us, we can all survive!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath, and said calmly, the human heart is the most difficult to figure out, even if he is confident that he can persuade Cai Tu, he is still worried that Cai Tu would rather kill himself than cooperate.

"Mu Longtu, you are talented and intelligent. You are by no means an ordinary young man. I have seen countless talents in Jingzhou, and no one can match your eloquence. You have convinced me that if ants are stealing their lives, I naturally don't want to die!"

Cai Tu narrowed his eyes slightly: "But I read the books of sages and sages. Confucian disciples are even more valuable as parents. What do you think I will cooperate with you thieves?"

"The county magistrate also said that you are a parent officer, guarding Wuyin, and responsible for the people of Wuyin. You don't want another war to cause the 10,000+ people of Wuyin to fall into chaos!"

Mu Jing smiled darkly.

"Do you threaten me?"

"No!" Mu Jing shook his head, and said with a serious face: "I'm just stating a fact. If anyone makes us unable to live, we will fight with all our lives, and we will not hesitate to kill him!"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods?" Cai Tu clenched his fists and his face was gloomy. He knew that Mu Jing's words implied that they were massacring the city. If they couldn't gain a foothold, they would slaughter Wu Yin and turn Wu Yin into blood and Corpse hell.

"We want to live, not die, as long as we can survive smoothly, so what about God's punishment!" Mu Jing sneered, his momentum soared, and there was a barefoot fierceness that was not afraid of wearing shoes, which made Cai Tu shudder.

"I have to think about it!"

Cai Tu was silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

"can!"

Mu Jing nodded, he knew that Cai Tu was struggling, and he should be given a space to think at this time.

"Also, I want to see the chief bookkeeper Li Yan!"

"Also!"

Mujing stood up, put on his shoes, opened the door, and walked out.

About two quarters of an hour.

Outside the bookstore, the young Li Yan knocked on the door, and then, without waiting for Cai Tu in the house to speak, he pushed the door and walked in. After entering, he bowed slightly and said, "Yan pays homage to the county magistrate!"

"Zhengfang, we are all prisoners now, there is no need to be polite!"

Cai Tu waved his hand and said, "Sit down!"

"Promise!" Li Yan sat down nervously. He is talented and learned, but he has been in office for less than a year, and he still feels a little uneasy when he encounters such a big event.

"Zhengfang, they gave me a chance to survive!" Cai Tu went straight to the point. The only person he can trust now is probably Li Yan, so he needs Li Yan's wisdom to make a decision for him.

It is a multiple-choice question, a difficult multiple-choice question.

"Opportunity?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

Cai Tu explained the matter in detail, without missing a single word: "What does Zhengfang mean?"

"Lord Xianzun, are you sure you are not talking about Mu Yuanzhong, but Mu Longtu!"

"I am very sure that although this son is about twelve or thirteen years old, he has an excellent heart. Not only is he not afraid of facing this official, but he even has a higher aura than this official. His words are even more aggressive, and should not be underestimated." !"

Cai Tu said in a low voice: "He used the horror of the people of the Yellow Turbans to win the sympathy of this official, and then he helped them with kindness and power. First, he lured them with life and death, and then forced them with life and death. Get up, if you don't become a pillar of the imperial court, you will become an enemy of the imperial court!"

Li Yan recalled in his mind, that handsome-looking young man actually gave Cai Tu such an evaluation, I am afraid he was mistaken.

He pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "My lord, this is actually not a bad thing!"

"How?" Cai Tu frowned.

"We all read the books of sages and sages. Only when we understand the truth and govern with benevolence can the people live and work in peace and contentment. The Yellow Turban thieves were mostly refugees in the past. The so-called refugees are still the people of the big men. Naturally, they will not be forgiven for their crimes!"

Li Yan said it very sincerely and calmly: "But it is undeniable that if it wasn't for the court... If they hadn't been forced to, they wouldn't have become rebels. Serving one's life is also a supreme merit. Of course, the imperial court has court rules, so we can't call for surrender. Mu Longtu's method can be tried. Chen Feng is dead, and there is no one in the county government who can be a general. If Mu Shan can correct his mistakes, it will be a good thing for Wuyin, at least with his ability, we can keep Wuyin safe and free from bandit chaos!"

He paused, then continued: "But I'm worried that they won't change their thieves in the future and won't be able to settle down, so I, Wuyin, will..."

He didn't say this, but Cai Tu understood it.

"What do you think of this beast in Mu Yuan?" Cai Tu asked.

"Although he is a bandit, his reputation is quite clear. If he hadn't carried the title of Zhang Mancheng's number one general on his back, not many people in Nanyang County would want to recruit him!" Li Yan said.

"Then let's take a gamble!"

Cai Tu clenched his fists tightly, bit his lips, and a fierce light burst out from his eyes: "If I die, it's not good to be my life, but I can't bring military disaster to Wuyin, we take the risk Give them a chance, maybe you can win their allegiance!"

"Master County, even if we are willing, I am afraid there will be some troubles!"

Li Yan said.

"You mean the Wuyin Zhu family?" Cai Tu's face was gloomy.

"Zhu County Prime Minister obviously has already got some news, but he didn't care about our safety and returned to the Zhu Mansion alone. The Zhu Mansion is the number one wealthy family in Wuyin. There are many private soldiers in the door, and a lot of weapons are stored. , even the octagonal bows and crossbows used by the elite soldiers of the imperial court, but the troops have not yet been dispatched, and the intention is already obvious!"

Li Yan said in a low voice: "He should wait for the county magistrate to be killed by Mushan, and then send troops to suppress the bandits. At that time, he will get rid of the thorn in the side of the county magistrate, and he will be able to make a great contribution to filling the county. With respect to the position of your lord, you will be safe!"

"Hmph!" Cai Tu snorted coldly, "He's really calculating!"

He and Zhu Zhan have had many conflicts over the years.

Zhu Zhan represents the local gentry, he is the local emperor of Wuyin, he controls too much land in Wuyin, and he is the county magistrate of Wuyin, in charge of the common people.

"My lord, even if we are willing to accept Mushan and let him stay in the county army, if he goes to Wancheng to file a complaint, I'm afraid we will be questioned!" Li Yan said: "If we don't solve him, we still have no way out!"

"Is there a way for Zhengfang?" Cai Tu asked with a hint of hope in his eyes, looking at Li Yan.

"There is one way, that is..." The corners of Li Yan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile inadvertently.

"Say!"
