Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70

Under the same starry sky, the night in the city seemed a bit cold.

The county government mansion.

The county magistrate Cai Tu and the magistrate Li Yan sat opposite each other. Both of them had just got off the celebration banquet, and they smelled of alcohol, but their faces were serious, not in a state of drunkenness, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

"My lord, you did this wrong!" Li Yan said in a deep voice.

No matter what, Cai Tu is Li Yan's benefactor, he still fills in the vacancy that Cai Tu did, but the first thing is to make Cai Tu change his attitude.

Cai Tu was oppressed by the local gentry before, and he finally turned around by relying on Mushan.

But Mushan's military power is getting bigger and bigger, and he feels uneasy again.

That's why he allowed the gentry to attack Jingping Village. In the final analysis, he wanted to show the power of Wuyin's top leader and intend to put some pressure on Mushan. But he didn't expect that Jingping Village could resist the attack of the gentry and counterattack the gentry. The most important thing is that everyone thinks that even if Mushan survived the battle of Tufushan, he should have great vitality, but what is unexpected is that Mushan actually captured more than [-] bandit soldiers on Tufushan, and his strength suddenly increased.

"I intended to suppress the arrogance of Mu Shan, but these gentry are hard to achieve. I didn't expect that the small Jingping Village could hide such power, so that hundreds of elite gentry returned without success!" Cai Tu smiled bitterly: "What's even more unexpected is that Mushan can say that the bandit soldiers who have dropped several times, made a mistake, the chess game is chaotic, and it's hard to get back!"

"Master Xian still doesn't understand the Yellow Turban Army!"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "In the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past, all the people were soldiers. My lord thought that Mushan took away the elite soldiers, and Jingping Village would have no defense capabilities. This is a big mistake!"

He paused, and said: "Also, my lord has forgotten, who forced us to ally with them?"

"Shepherd Dragon Picture!" Cai Tu's pupils changed color.

"What I am most worried about is not Mushan. Mushan is indeed a fierce tiger on the battlefield, unrivaled, but all these years he has been suffocating in Mushroom Mountain, accomplishing nothing and even surviving. The reason why he is today is because He has Mulongtu by his side to advise him!"

Li Yandao: "Your Excellency also personally understands that this son is evil, knowing that he is in Jingping Village, how could he not be at all vigilant? Your Excellency condoned the gentry to send troops to Jingping Village, but you know it is not just his plan. Now Your Excellency has turned against him. There are nearly [-] soldiers and horses in the hands of the mountain, and he is the respect within the radius, if they want to take revenge on the Lord, wouldn't it be easy!"

"Zhengfang, what should we do in this county?" Cai Tu was a little anxious.

"The most urgent thing is that my lord still has to get rid of the relationship with the gentry!" Li Yan said: "My lord wants to use the gentry to suppress Mu Shan. This method is different. To be honest, other people may still be useful, but Mu Shan is the leader of the Yellow Turban Qu. If they oppose, That would be Wuyin Chaos, and it will be difficult to protect your official position at that time!"

"But Mushan is powerful..."

"My lord, now we and Mushan are both prosperous, and we are both lost!"

Li Yan reminded: "My lord, don't forget that the Cai clan supports you only because you control the county seat, and the reason why you can regain control of the county seat from the gentry is because of the soldiers and horses in Mushan's hands. They don't care about it." Who is Mu Shan, they only care about the military power in Mu Shan's hands, if you let them know that you and Mu Shan have fallen out, do you think the Cai clan will change someone to be the magistrate of Wuyin County, and improve the relationship with Mu Shan!"

The Cai family is not a small local big family, it is an aristocratic family inherited from Jingzhou, a real aristocratic family, a Jingzhou aristocratic family that can compete with the Jiangdong family, Yingchuan family, Guanzhong family and other powerful families.

"you're right!"

Cai Tu came to his senses. He knew what the Cai clan wanted. At this juncture, as a Jingzhou family, the Cai clan could smell some chaos in the family. Money and power are external possessions, only military power is the most important thing. Yes, that's why when he asked for help back then, Cai agreed to encourage the governor of Jingzhou to come forward. Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little flustered, and said, "Zhengfang, how do you think this officer should restore the relationship with Mushan?"

"It's useless to say a thousand words now, only to look at actions!"

Li Yan pondered for a while, and said: "Although Mushan has thousands of soldiers and horses, it is bound to be difficult to support him. He needs the county lord. This is the best way. In addition, there must be a clear distinction between the lord and the gentry, and a balance must be achieved. Depending on the timing, Mushan is not something adults can balance now, if adults don't make a choice, they will only be disgusting!"

"All right!"

Cai Tu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that although Gu Peng and the others have suffered a great loss, they are somewhat unconvinced. Recently, some merchants have taken refuge in Mushan, and they are going to clean it up. If this is the case, I will help Mushan stabilize it. This Wuin market!"

"These gentry, they have enjoyed their dignity for too long, and sooner or later they will suffer a lot!"

Li Yan said coldly.

A yellow turban uprising will make Nanyang's aristocratic and powerful families die in sevens and eights, otherwise there will be no such humble children as Li Yan. Once the world is in chaos, then these aristocratic families will be like sweet pastries, which cannot be let go Glory will definitely be eaten up to nothing.

*******************************
The next day, in the morning.

On the outskirts of Wuyin City.

On a small plain in the west, this small plain goes up along the official road, with the Xiaoqing River in the north and a mountain in the south, within a radius of tens of miles from Wuyin, this should be the most suitable place to stay. Barracks.

There must have been temporary tents set up here, and two school yards were opened in front of and behind the tents.

On the school grounds, there are military flags erected one after another. These military flags stand with the characters "Wuyin" and "Zhang", representing the designation of Zhang Chuan, the captain of Wuyin County. Now Mushan still has to wear this layer of skin to gain a foothold. This is a helpless thing .

At this moment, thousands of soldiers and horses have already started training, but they seem a little lazy.

In the center of the camp, in a tent.

Mu Shan stands tall, with Zhou Cang and Lei Gong on the left and right, Cheng Luo, Zhao Ping, Zhang Gu, and several generals under Zhou Cang's command sit on the left and right.

"Master, the county lord has agreed for us to be stationed here!"

Cheng Luo said, "The petition we handed in was approved within one night, and we also sent three hundred shi of grain. This is the grain that took half of the county treasury to collect, enough for us to use for two or three months. !"

One stone is four jun, one jun is about thirty catties, one stone is a full 120 catties, three hundred stones is a full [-] catties of grain, if they save a little, it is enough for them to use for about two or three months.

"This is Cai Tu's son-in-law just wanting to make amends. If the boss didn't suppress me, I would have chopped him up. We fought for him, but he stabbed him in the back. That's a villain!" Lei Gong said carelessly. .

"To shut up!"

Mu Shan glared coldly: "Your Majesty, you are my parents' officer. How can you slander me? After the meeting, go to lead the ten military officers and talk nonsense in the future. I peeled your skin!"

"Humph!"

Lei Gong refused to accept it, but he never disobeyed Mu Shan, and only sulked from the sidelines.

"Zideng, the county government should appease you. Some things should be ignored!"

"promise!"

Cheng Luo nodded.

"Yuanfu!"

"Master Mu!" Zhou Cang stood up.

"I have to make something clear. All our soldiers and horses must be broken up for training!" Mu Shan stood up, with his head on the ground, his feet on the ground, his hands on his back, and his voice was calm: "We have no family background, no background, and the only The standard is to hold the military power, if the soldiers and horses under the command cannot be trained, we will be eaten by those people one day!"

"I understand the words of the Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhou Cang nodded: "I agree!"

He also knew that Wuyin, who looked peaceful, actually had a lot of undercurrents, and it was difficult to suppress without elite soldiers.

Everyone continued to discuss, and first discussed the matter of building barracks. Zhang Gu is good at this aspect, and he controls the wealth of Jingping Village.

Then we started to talk about the establishment of soldiers and horses. According to the establishment of the county government, this is a bit too bloated. On top of the establishment of the county government, Mushan added a set of establishments for the Yellow Turban Army. The army is divided into three divisions, the first of which is his own For the pro-barracks, the second part is based on Zhou Cang, and the elite cavalry is selected to form a cavalry battalion. The third part is a vanguard battalion with Lei Gong as the main general and infantry as the foundation.

In the afternoon, the generals began to disperse.

In the main tent, only Mu Shan and Cheng Luo remained.

"Master, I heard that you plan to respect the Holy Maiden of Peace as the young master?" Cheng Luo thought for a long time, and asked a question that everyone wanted to ask after hesitation.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Shan raised his head, looked at Cheng Luo, and asked calmly.

"Since then, I'm afraid that the morale of the army will be shaken!" Cheng Luo smiled wryly.

"With you and me here, can the military's morale be moved, or do you want the military's morale to be shaken?"

"I dare not!" Cheng Luo shook his head hastily.

Mu Shan's eyes were cold: "I know what you are thinking, but there are certain rules that cannot be broken. If the young master is here, then you must respect the young master. Otherwise, how will you and I go to meet Qu Shuai under the Nine Springs in the future!"

"However, we managed to gain a foothold in Wuyin. How many brothers and sons have sacrificed their lives to achieve today's situation in Wuyin. If the master says something, we will respect another master. Who would be willing!" Cheng Luo said through gritted teeth.

He surrendered to Mushan, not the Yellow Turban Army or Taiping Dao.

"Zideng, I call you a smart person in vain, why are you so confused?" Mu Shan shook his head, sighed, quite disappointed.

"Please make it clear!"

Cheng Luo frowned.

"Let me ask you, Your Highness is just a little girl, even if I hand over the military power, will she accept it?"

"This? Probably not!"

"Since she won't, why be afraid? In addition, her identity may not be a bad thing for us. If we keep her, we will be the orthodox Yellow Turbans. It's not a big deal if we want to reorganize the Nanyang Yellow Turbans in the future. It's difficult, Yingchuan Runan The Yellow Turbans will also regard us as orthodox!"

"But the head of the family is, after all, an overlord!" Cheng Luo said.

"The key is that the Supreme Emperor is just a little girl waiting to be married. Since she is waiting to be married, marrying someone is not a marriage. Can't you have some confidence in my brat?" Mu Shan said slyly.

This idea is that he had an idea from the moment he received the appearance of the Holy Maiden of Peace in Nanyang.

"Young master? What's the matter with the young master... Wait, what the big master means..."

Cheng Luo stared at Mu Shan with wide eyes, as if meeting him for the first time.

Who said honest people have no scheming.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

He will not be able to catch up with the scheming of the head of the family in ten lifetimes.

But the idea of ​​the head of the family is good, great, and kills two birds with one stone. It not only solves their embarrassing position after the arrival of the Holy Maiden of Peace, but also wins the orthodox position of the Yellow Turban.

"Humph!"

Mu Shan snorted coldly: "Chu Feiyan wants to inherit the Dao of Peace as a small adopted son. If my son wins a genuine son-in-law, I don't believe that the great virtuous teacher will not accept it!"

"The master is wise!" Cheng Luo raised his thumb in admiration.

"So in the future, you should be more respectful to His Highness!"

"Of course!"

Cheng Luo nodded.

"In the past, I may have been just trying to survive, but..."

Mu Shan's eyes flickered with a cold light, staring at the front, a momentum burst out of his body, his voice was low and loud, and said: "Now, Jing'er has a promising future, I want to fight for a future for Jing'er !"

He is just a simple father who used to hope that his son would be safe and well, but now he may be a little older and hope that his son will become a dragon.

*******************
In the city, the market.

Zhangjia silk and satin village.

"Patriarch, the Shu merchants who supplied us with goods have disappeared. I have searched for several inns in a row, but I can't find them. I have planned to renew the contract this year, and there is no further information!"

"The owner, the Luo family who has been providing us with silk has also announced that they will not do business with us!"

"Patriarch, someone declared in the market that we have offended the gentry, and anyone who dares to buy our cloth is against the gentry in the city. When the doors opened today, more than a dozen silk and satin factories did not sell a single piece of cloth!"

Zhang Heng sat in the silk and satin shop, listening to the reports from shopkeepers, his expression as calm as water.

"Pass my order, Zhang's silk and satin village will be closed for three days!"

"promise!"
