Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 89

A few days ago, Soochow, Linhu County, Lujiang County.

The magistrate of Zhao County sat in the back house of the county mansion, half lying on the couch, and the little hand of the newly purchased tender maid gently thumped his leg, making people itch.

The weather is getting colder, take a sip of hot wine, warm up your body, and feel comfortable all over.

County Magistrate Zhao is in a good mood. Hearing that General Sun and King Wei are on good terms, both sides withdrew their heavy troops from the front line, and the one-acre-three-point land near him will not be fighting for a while.

Wow no war.

Once there is a war, there will be too little oil and water that can be left behind.

After all, the enemy is now, if you dare to play tricks on raising money and food, you will really be impatient.

He doesn't have a strong background on top.

Moreover, the place where the war was fought was too close to him, and he was worried all day long.

Now there is no fighting on the central and eastern fronts of Yangzhou, and the money, grain and recruiting for preparing to send troops to Jingzhou are also over.

Once the war in Jingzhou is over, the higher authorities will reduce taxes for the local people.

If Jingzhou wins big, the reduction may be even more.

Isn't there room for your own oil and water?

It is impossible to reduce taxes for the people according to the order. If you want to reduce as much as you want, who will eat in this county?
A symbolic reduction is enough to keep those people who are eating in the mud from making too much noise.

The difference between this will naturally go into the pocket of his county magistrate zhao.

Of course, when the taxes of the big gentry households in the county come up, they have to be repaid in full.

Whether I, the county magistrate, can do well, and whether the county's performance in the county is good or not, all depends on these people.

County magistrate Zhao caught the maid's tender little hand and stroked it, thinking about whether she would have enough money to buy a dancer in a few days, if she could buy one, how much face would it be?
Suddenly a servant stumbled in and ran in: "Mr. Zai! It's not good! Mr. Zhao is not good!"

"Bastard!" Magistrate Zhao angrily let go of the maid's little hand.

As a man, he was forced to shrink back just as he was about to startle, and no one would be in a better mood.

Especially when he is old, the time when he can successfully stand up is really limited.

"What kind of decency is it to shout! What's wrong, this county is very good!"

But the servant fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a sobbing voice, "Zai Gong, Cao Jun is here, let's run!"

"Ah?!" Magistrate Zhao was dumbfounded.

who?Cao Jun?

Impossible, didn't King Wei and General Sun fix it?How did you get here? !
The most important thing is, why did Cao Jun come over so suddenly and silently?Why was there no news at all before?

"Grandpa Zai, run quickly, it will be too late!"

"Cao, how many people are here?" County magistrate Zhao was also afraid.

"I heard that there are thousands of pioneers, and there are still a large army behind!"

"Let's go! Order the rest of the people to pack up their belongings and rice, and hurry up!"

There are two ways in front of Zhao County Magistrate, either run or surrender Cao.

He chooses to run.

Today's Shangguan treats him well. For a master like him from a poor family, it is uncertain whether he can keep his current life and official position after being demoted to Cao.

What?Resistance to defend the city?

The rammed earth wall in Linhu County is only two meters long, and there is no garrison in the county.

However, the news from the magistrate Zhao was obviously slow, and the shouts and howls outside the mansion became more and more clear.

"Zaigong! Cao Jun is coming, let's go!"

County magistrate Zhao was poking his butt out, taking out a hidden wooden box from behind the couch, which contained the savings that he had managed to save over the years!
Boom!

The door of the house was kicked open, and a big man with a bald head and short beard led several people to rush in with knives and guns in hand.

The magistrate Zhao turned around in horror, and they were all wearing Cao Jun's uniforms.

Looking at the terrified maid hiding in the corner with his bald head, he laughed and said, "You old thief, you will enjoy it. A certain one has no family yet, how about asking her to share a bed with a certain one from now on?"

County magistrate Zhao squeezed out a smile: "The general likes it, there is nothing wrong with it. Haha, there is nothing wrong with it."

The bald head turned cold when he heard the words: "So, thank you very much."

puff!
County Magistrate Zhao felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the cold blade pierced through his chest.

The bald head drew the knife, and the spurted blood spattered his head and face, but he didn't care, and kicked County Magistrate Zhao to the ground.

Then he hacked to death the servant who reported the news.

The maid squatted in the corner, biting her hand tightly, and she was so swaying that she didn't dare to take a breath, let alone yell.

The bald man swiped his knife at the place where Zhao County Magistrate reached out his hand just now, and pulled out a wooden box. When he opened it, there were several gold cakes in it.

"Damn it, you dog official!" The magistrate Zhao spat at the bald headed death on the ground, took out a piece of gold cake and put it in his arms, covered the wooden box again and held it in his arms.

He turned his head and grinned at the maid, showing his big yellow teeth: "Ma'am, get up and follow XX, this is going to be set on fire in a while."

……

In front of the gate of the county mansion, Chai Rong sat on a poor horse holding a gun, trying to look as natural as possible.

It's just that I haven't been riding for a long time, and I still feel a little awkward.

This horse's skinny ribs and forks can be seen, and no amount of fodder will grow strong. It is really a bad horse.

As for this, it was hard to get it when robbing the big family.

"Big Shu..." The bald head ran out of the county mansion, and Chai Rong glared at him and immediately changed his words, "General Cao, the county magistrate here has been killed by his subordinates, and his subordinates have ordered people to go there Open the barn to get food."

"Well, yes, ready to set fire."

"Yes!" Then the bald man grinned, and handed over the wooden box, "General Cao, this old boy still hid the wooden box."

Chai Rong opened it and saw several gold cakes inside.

He casually threw a piece over to the bald head: "Afterwards, I exchanged it for money and grain, and shared it with my brothers."

"Yes! Thank you, General Cao." The bald man immediately smiled.

Chai Rong, aliased as General Cao, led more than a thousand "Cao Jun" to break through Linhu County, killed the county magistrate, and opened warehouses to collect food.

He also slaughtered two big families in the county who wanted to resist, and collected all their rice and grain.

The county residents who thought Cao's army was going to kill Linhu again found that after the looting, General Cao set fire to the county government and led his army to leave. It seemed that he had no intention of occupying Linhu for a long time.

There was a brave one who rushed into the burning county mansion after Cao Jun left, trying to see if he could snatch anything.

Others rushed into the homes of the big families who had been slaughtered. Even if there were some dishes and cooking utensils left, that would be a good thing.

For the first battle in Jingzhou, Sun Quan recruited soldiers from various places. When raising food and grass, officials from various places took the opportunity to squeeze it, and the people suffered unspeakably.

At that time, Cao Luotong tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to recruit soldiers, which would make the people centrifugal, and people's upheavals would easily occur over time. Sun Quan could not argue with him.

Now that Linhu County is in chaos, it really immediately triggered a wave of looting the county government and big households in the county.

……

Ruxuwu in the northeast of Linhu County.

Now Jiang Qin led the main force to go west to Xiakou, preparing to send troops from Xiakou to further block Guan Yu's Jingzhou army's escape.

Zhou Tai guarded Ruxuwu on Jiang Qin's behalf, but received an unimaginable battle report.

"You said that Cao Jun has already killed Linhu? Absurd, how is this possible!"

"General, this matter is absolutely complete. Zhao Ji, the magistrate of Linhu County, has been killed, and the granary has been robbed. Except for the Zhao family, the Zhang and Meng families who wanted to resist were all slaughtered!"

Zhou Tai stood up abruptly, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't help wondering: "Now that the siege of Fancheng has been lifted, could it be that the king of Wei turned his back on his promise and planned to take the opportunity to send troops south to Jiangdong?"

"Report—!"

While he was in doubt, someone suddenly sent a battle report: "Report to the general, Cao Jun's vanguard has been killed to Xiang'an County!"

"So fast?!" Zhou Tai was startled, "Have you ever seen clearly that it is really Cao Jun who came?"

"The army is all wearing the uniform of Cao Jun, and the flag of the leader of the army is written with Cao characters. It is absolutely true!"

Zhou Tai hurriedly looked at the map, Linhu, Xiang'an, Cao Jun took the road and went straight to Ruxuwu!
"Where is the main force of Cao Jun now?"

"I haven't found out where the main force of Cao's army is."

"Trash! Investigate again and report again!" Zhou Tai smashed the wine cup in his hand angrily, "Send Xiaozhou to chase Jiang Dudu's army quickly, and ask him to come back to help! At the same time, send someone to quickly know the information about the army here and General Sun! "

"Yes!"

Zhou Tai turned his gaze back to the map, feeling extremely worried.

If Cao Cao sends his army south at this time, most of our Jiangdong main force will rush to Jingzhou. If Ruxuwu is breached and the Yangtze River is lost, Jiangdong is in danger!

"No matter what, Ruxuwu can't be lost!"

Zhou Tai didn't stop for a moment, and immediately went to organize the army to prepare for the battle. The defenders of Ruxuwu were all ready to fight.

At this time, Chai Rong and other "Cao Jun" who were looting in Xiang'an County lost their traces on the way to Ruxuwu in the northeast...

When the team headed to the northeast with great fanfare, they suddenly rushed and made a circle.

After taking off all Cao Jun's uniforms in the barren mountains and throwing away the banners, they had already died down and walked in stealth, taking a detour to return to the village.

The big bearded man's eyes were almost slit with joy at this time, he personally led the horse for Chai Rong, and said with a smile: "Marshal, General Gongming is a master of planning, and he has calculated that the government will send troops to Jingzhou at this time, and the defenses in various places are empty. I made a fortune by waiting! Hahaha..."

Chai Rong on the horse was also very happy, and seemed to be used to riding a horse a lot: "Who is General Gongming, the plan he personally gave is naturally foolproof.

"Now that two county towns have been robbed in a row, the debt has to be settled on the head of Cao thief. I just need to go back to the mountain to avoid the limelight. These days, the brothers can just eat, drink and have fun on the mountain!"

"Hahaha! It's so wonderful, this harvest is enough to not leave the mountain for a few months."

The main source of joy in Chai Rong's heart was not the harvest from the looting.

What made him even more excited was that he had successfully completed the task assigned by General Song Gongming. He felt that General Gongming should still be testing them, and this time it should be regarded as passing the test.

When I see General Gongming again, I will definitely ask him to take over the cottage!If it really doesn't work, then it's okay to take the whole village and follow General Gongming.

If the village is gone, another one can be built. Only by firmly hugging General Gongming's thigh can we have a bright future!
After a long absence, the image of comrade "Song Gongming" in Chai Rong's heart not only did not fade, but was even more beautified and even deified...

After this incident, he was even more convinced of this.

……

Compared with the good mood of Chai Rong and others, Sun Quan after the army entered the public security was in a terrible mood.

He wants to kill.

Satisfied, he led the main force to Jingzhou, but was told that the army could only be stationed in the public security.

Because Jiangling has not been taken down yet.

It doesn't matter, Jiangling City is fortified, and it is understandable that it was not taken down for a while.

But the question is, why the hell is Lu Meng gone?

Lu Meng's 1-strong army, even if there was an accident in the strategy and failed to take Jiangling for a while, how could it be said that it was gone?

Comrade Sun Quan, who was furious, didn't know at this time that the bad news was far more than this one...
