Chapter 573: Capture Xunzhou City

He originally thought that these people could resist for a while, and then he would have the opportunity to go to Beijing for help, but he didn't want these people to betray him! ! !
"How dare they!"

The Jingzhou County Sheriff fell straight back, and he still can't figure out why these people dared to do this.

They were born as people of Jingzhou County, and they should die as ghosts of Jingzhou County.

He asked himself that he had managed fairly well in recent years, why did this happen...

He doesn't understand.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The counselors were all frightened and almost lost consciousness. They never expected that the Jingzhou County of Nuoda could be captured so easily.

"Tomorrow at the latest, Cang Xiuxuan's people will enter the city. Sir, you must hold on!"

No matter what, nothing can happen to them adults now, otherwise the people below them will be finished.

Jingzhou County Sheriff laughed at himself, "How can I hold on? Now I can only take one step at a time. I only hope that after getting the news, Shangjing will quickly send troops to rescue."

"But...but what if no one comes from Shangjing?"

They also knew clearly what was going on in the entire country. They had lost several cities in Beijing before. Although the news was blocked, they still had a way to know.

According to their current situation, the possibility of sending troops from Shangjing is very slim.

"Let's run. Now we are safe only when we return to Shangjing."

The Jingzhou County Sheriff smiled bitterly, "Run? How can you run? Where can you run? There is still a way to survive if you stay here. If you run, it will be a dead end. Don't underestimate King Qi too much. The things you and I think of him I’ve thought of it a long time ago.”

He regrets now why he didn't have a good relationship with King Qi like Yangzhou County, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this! ! !
His words were like a bucket of ice water poured on everyone.

If they thought this was a way out before, now this way is completely blocked, or it has become a dead end.

If you stay here, you will definitely be humiliated. If you leave...

can't do without!

"Sir, please think of a way. We can't stay here and be humiliated by Cang Xiuxuan and the others. After all, you are also an official of the imperial court."

"The imperial order?"

The governor of Jingzhou now only feels that these four words are extremely ironic, "Now we are too busy going to Beijing to take care of ourselves. We are too optimistic and have not seen the reality clearly. You are ready to surrender. Maybe you can still make a future." ."

That mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was considered to have passed through the gate of hell. These were all things he had just figured out.

"The King of Qi is currently in a general situation, but after all, he has no management talents other than soldiers. If he wants to securely guard Jingzhou County, it is useless to rely on soldiers alone. He needs people who can help him manage. , we are considered the best candidates.”

**
The situation in Xunzhou County is not much better than that in Jingzhou County.

When the news came that the people here would surrender directly, Cang Xiuxuan's army had not yet arrived in Xunzhou, but the people of Xunzhou had already received the news in advance.

Xunzhou County Sheriff is struggling to find a solution.

But no matter how he arranged it, it seemed to be in vain. The Earth Dragon's Transformation had almost destroyed Xunzhou County. Jingzhou County still had a city gate to defend, and even the city gate was already in pieces.

Not to mention the people in his Xunzhou state.

Having received such great favor from Cang Xiuxuan before, it is absolutely impossible to stand on the opposite side of Cang Xiuxuan now.

"Tomorrow, King Qi's army will arrive. You all should prepare and surrender."

"Surrender? Sir, is there no other way? Surrendering now is a dead end!"

"If you don't surrender, you will die quickly!"

Compared with these officials in Xunzhou, the people in Xunzhou are cheering now.

Ever since they knew that Cang Xiuxuan was coming with his army, they seemed to have seen the hope of life again, and they all wanted to come together to welcome him.

When Cang Xiuxuan appeared in front of everyone riding a tall horse and dressed in military uniform, the people knelt down one after another before he could give orders.

"Welcome King Qi."

The meaning of these four words is too clear. They are all willing to accept the rule of King Qi and are willing to surrender.

After all, this can only be regarded as civil strife. No matter who is in power, they are still people of this country. It is not like being invaded by foreigners and there is no sense of family and country.

For ordinary people like them, whoever can keep them alive is the best ruler.

Cang Xiuxuan's army entered the city without any hindrance, and the Xunzhou County Sheriff had already led a group of officials to kneel down.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, I will wait..."

Cang Xiuxuan was still on the horse, looking at the Xunzhou County Sheriff coldly. "Where are the food and medicinal materials?"

The Xunzhou County Sheriff did not dare to hide it at all, "Xiaoguan deserves to die. All the food and medicinal materials have been detained. Before you came, Xiaguan had sent people to release them, so everyone can eat at noon."

Cang Xiuxuan sneered, "These grains are given by the king to the people. Who gave you the right to withhold them?"

The governor of Xunzhou County was sweating like rain and kowtowed repeatedly, "This official was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. Please forgive me, His Highness the King of Qi."

All these words re-acknowledged the identity of King Qi, and put himself and King Qi in the same camp.

It has to be said that this is a person who understands current affairs, but Cang Xiuxuan does not accept this trick.

The people in Shangjing had already deprived him of his title. He didn't care about His Majesty the King of Qi. He had already prepared to replace him before, but he just didn't want the people to suffer.

But now, whether it was Jingzhou County or Xunzhou County, the reaction of the people made him completely understand.

The real suffering is to let the people continue to be under the rule of Da Rong. In the past few months of severe drought, the court has no countermeasures at all, and even increased taxes at this time.

Such an emperor should have stepped down long ago.

"Although I still call myself the king, I am no longer the King of Qi in Darong. You don't need to have a relationship with me here. As a county guard, your first priority is not the livelihood of the people. It is useless for such a person to want you."

Cang Xiuxuan glanced coldly, "Come here, take them all!"

When the people behind him saw this scene, they all cheered.

Cang Xiuxuan's shouts became louder and louder.

Xunzhou County Sheriff didn't dare to say a word, at least he hadn't been killed directly yet.

Even though they had conquered two cities so easily, Cang Xiuxuan and the others still did not dare to be careless at all and had to make many arrangements.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the most critical situation is Xunzhou. Those people that Cang Xiuxuan and Song Chen saved with great effort were almost killed by the Xunzhou County Sheriff. After Cang Xiuxuan arrived here, the first The thing is to distribute food.

Because the reconstruction work of the entire city has not yet been completed, although they are not sleeping directly outside as before, at most they have more houses built with temporary wooden boards, which does not look much better.

These people have nothing to make a fire for cooking. In the next period of time, they will have to rely on centralized distribution to get food.

So the previous porridge sheds were erected again.

When the people saw this scene, their eyes were red.

"Everyone, listen up. From today on, you no longer have to worry about being unable to see a doctor or have enough food to eat. So the most important thing you have to do now is to do your best to rebuild our city and give yourself a In your new home, our master will definitely give you the strongest support!"

Cangji led a team of people and preached over and over again in the city. Although everyone now welcomed them remembering their previous kindness, problems would still arise if the next matter was not handled properly.

This is the simplest principle, water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

Now that Cang Xiuxuan has taken over this city, he will not let things like this continue to happen.

"The previous porridge shed has been fully restored and two meals are provided every day. Please queue up to receive it according to the previous order."

They preached over and over again, and the people who heard these words cheered over and over again.

They all knew in their hearts that if they continued to be under the rule of the previous governor, they might not even be able to save their lives. These policies of Cang Xiuxuan made them very happy.

After settling down in life, everyone began to discuss the current situation.

"If you ask me, His Highness King Qi should have taken over these cities a long time ago. Think about it, as long as the places he has intervened in are now having a pretty good life, look at those other places, the people are probably having a hard time. It’s the kind of life we ​​lived before, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that the people are in dire straits.”

These words are true and not false at all, "I don't know what our city will be rebuilt into in the end..."

Although they had expectations for the reconstruction of the city, they also knew that it was not an easy task. King Qi had to feed so many people, and he also had to spend so much money for reconstruction. They were very worried.

"Although I still don't know what the reconstruction will look like, I have decided that as soon as they ask for people, I will definitely be the first one to rush forward."

"Me too, all we can do to help now is a handful."

"By the way, this city must be built with wood. We will go up to the mountain to cut it tomorrow."

"I'll go as well……"

As they chatted, everyone began to divide the work among themselves. Although they are now living on Cang Xiuxuan's food, in the past, in addition to a handful of people, there were many people who were skilled in crafts and made some of their own things. What you can do is not free of charge.

Of course, there are those who want to help, and there are also those who are holding back.

Isn't this... After eating only two meals, some people are already disgusted with eating the same thing all day long.

"We've been eating porridge and steamed buns all day long. If we eat like this, we'll die. Can't you get some good food? Didn't you say that we need to make up for it?"
