The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 Horse Bandits Attack
Village elders are appointed by local people with high morals and high prestige to assist the county government in handling the affairs of the village.

Mayi is dilapidated, and even the county government office is deserted, but the post of village elder is still reserved.

However, when the village elders were summoned, Wei Tao discovered that although these people were villagers, they were not 'old' at all, and it was clear that they were the ones who led someone to bump into him not long ago and wanted to drive him out of Mayi. Take the lead.

Wei Tao already understood a little bit.

"Nowadays, there is a gust of horse banditry who dares to provoke us. This wind cannot rise, so I intend to wipe out this kind of banditry and return my city to peace."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, the expressions of several people were a bit strange. After a while, the leader named Zhao Yi asked.

"Dare to ask my lord, how can I help you?"

"Help? That's not necessary. You are called here today to restrain the people. Don't move around at will during this time."

Wei Tao waved his hand casually, speaking very 'bluntly'.

"I know that the horse bandit must have kept an eye in the city, so starting today, Mayi will be closed for five days, and no entry is allowed. If nothing happens, you can't act at will. In response to the horse bandit attack. But anyone who violates the law , Immediately punish the crime of collaborating with bandits!"

Closing the city, the complexions of those old folks changed upon hearing these two words.

Although Mayi is not a place with abundant water and soil, he still has to go out to work from time to time on weekdays, and the impact of the closure of the city is enormous.

"grown ups……"

Then Zhao Yi just opened his mouth to speak, and Wei Tao's face suddenly turned cold.

"Why, could it be that there are gangsters among the villagers? You dared to attack the official a while ago, and today you are so procrastinating, it has to be doubted!"

Hearing Wei Tao's cold words, Zhao Yi and the others panicked, and hurriedly said.

"No, no, we are saying that we must fully support the action of the adults, and we will wipe out the horse bandits in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Wei Tao's complexion became calmer.

"My lord, it is said that there are thousands of people in that 'gust of wind'. In the past, whenever there was a caravan passing by, they would have to pay a lot of tolls. Even the people of Mayi had to be bullied by it. I ran into your lord. Are you sure you can get rid of 'a gust of wind'? If not, I'm afraid Ma Yi..."

Seeing that Wei Tao's expression softened, Zhao Yi said tentatively, but seeing Wei Tao's face turned cold, the more he spoke, the softer he was.

"Hmph! It's just a mere banditry."

Wei Tao responded dissatisfied at first, then hesitated for a moment, and then glanced away again.

"But listen up, 'Gust of Wind' dares to attack me, Bingzhou, and destruction is imminent. I know that some of you must have some connection with the horse bandit 'Gust of Wind'. But as long as you can follow my order, the past things will be Don't blame the past, if not, kill the nine clans!"

"Yes! Don't dare! Absolutely dare not!"

Hearing Wei Tao's cold snort, several people seemed to be frightened, and they all fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Afterwards, Wei Tao confessed a few more words before letting the villagers leave.

Now that they were seated in the positions of village elders, these people naturally had considerable prestige in Mayi City, and soon the entire Mayi City was empty.

And soon the county government also sent a group of people to patrol back and forth, and at the same time another group of people galloped directly to the outside of the city.

These things are not considered secret, as long as you pay a little attention in Mayi City, you can detect them.

However, whenever there is a slight change in Mayi City, the people patrolling back and forth will not show mercy, and they will catch one and severely punish the other.

All of a sudden, all the people in Mayi, whether they were local Han people or Huns, dared not act at will.

There is a fairly dense forest tens of miles away from Mayi, but at this time the forest is in a mess. If someone can enter it, they will find that there are many fierce people lying on the ground. the bottom of the tree.

"Da da da……"

There was a sound of horseshoes, and all the people who were swaying here and there opened their eyes at once. Many people directly touched the weapons around them, and countless fierce eyes were all fixed on the source of the sound.

After a while, I saw two fierce people escorting a person. If you look carefully, who is it if it's not Zhao Yi?

"The one who is in charge is one of our own."

A stout man took a few steps forward, waved his hand to let Zhao Yi go, and then stared at Zhao Yi and asked viciously.

"What happened to the dog officer? Would you like to get out of Mayi?"

Although he was treated like this, Zhao Yi didn't mind at all. Instead, he bent his back slightly, looking flattering.

"Reporting to the third master, that dog official seems to have been prepared for a long time, vowed to fight against the master, and said... also said..."

"He said he could wipe us all out, didn't he?"

The third leader didn't wait for Zhao Yi to finish, and interrupted him directly, but his face was still gloomy.

"Why, didn't he doubt your identity?"

"No, that dog official is very cunning. He not only warned us on the face of it, but also sent people to monitor our actions. Wang Laoer was severely beaten just to test it out. If it wasn't for him, he would have With the same identity, I am afraid that he will be killed directly."

Zhao Yi knew the ferocity of these people in front of him, so he didn't dare to delay and answered quickly.

"If we hadn't prepared a tunnel to the outside of the city long ago, I'm afraid it would be impossible to report to the head at this time."

"Well, that's about the same."

The third master nodded, and finally believed it.

"Since the dog officer was sent here, he still has some skills. If you weren't smart enough, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to hide it from me. But you know how they plan to deal with me?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to have something to do with the new general at Yanmen Pass."

Zhao Yi is not a horse bandit, but he is a spy of the horse bandit who stayed in Mayi City. When he heard the inquiry from the third master, he immediately said it.

"A day ago, a group of people left Mayi. I think they have already arrived at Yanmen Pass by this time."

"Haha...It really is so. This dog officer is just a bait that was released. Do you really think we will be so easy to be fooled?"

After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the third master immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"You did a good job this time. It is said that the new governor, Ding Yuan, is also very hostile to us, thinking that with Lu Fengxian in hand, he can wipe us out one by one? How can it be so easy? This time Tell him to suffer a great loss!"

The name of Lu Bu's bravery is now known to everyone in Bingzhou. Even such audacious horse bandits dare not call Lu Bu's name directly when they mention it behind their backs.

"All brothers, get on the horse immediately! Let's let the dog officer know who is the owner of Mayi!"

"Oh!"

Those fierce horse bandits shouted excitedly one by one, and even some of them couldn't help but grabbed their weapons and waved them in the air, extremely excited.

Only Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but just said.

"Didn't you say to give the dog official three days? It's not halfway through yet!"

"Haha... the dog officer really thought we would wait until three days later? If it wasn't for the design of Gao Shun in Yanmen Pass, he would give Gao Shun a good look. Why do we need to make such mysteries in 'Gust of Wind'? Just kill him at the door !"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, the third master immediately laughed even more.

"It's just a dog official, and I will kill him all over the house. Zhao Yi, you have done a good job this time. After this time, we will entrust you with the affairs of our 'Big Law'."

"Thank you, Third Master."

Zhao Yi suddenly became excited.

This clearly meant that he wanted to hand over Nanshi to himself, even if he could only get a little benefit, it would be a huge profit.

Of course, for this reason, Zhao Yi also wanted to attack and kill the county government along with the horse bandits.

This is called a nomination certificate!

"Da da da da..."

With the sound of horseshoes galloping, I have to say that these horse bandits are indeed extremely daring, and they didn't even hide it at all along the way.

After all, here is a plain with excellent vision, so it is impossible that the other side's scouts were not found.

But at this time, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, so he went straight to Ma Yi.

Many horse bandits had been recharging their energy before, so they soon galloped to Mayi City.

"Kill in!"

Although the county government has been repaired, Mayi City is still dilapidated, and these horse bandits rushed into Mayi City without any obstruction at all.

With Zhao Yi leading the way, many horse bandits rushed directly to the county government.

The county government had just been repaired, and there were seven or eight houses in a row, and these houses were not very strong, so these days, there are sergeants on duty around the county government.

But at this time, the doors of several houses were closed, and it was so quiet that even ordinary people could feel a strange feeling.

Not to mention rushing all the way into Mayi, even the ordinary people knew about it, and they hid in their houses and shivered.

If there were really sergeants patrolling, then they should have discovered it a long time ago.

"Zhao Yi, what's going on? Don't say that the dog official is not prepared!"

That third head is not stupid, although he didn't see anything unusual for a while, but at this moment he has already discovered that something is wrong.

You must know that the style of the horse bandits is to come and go like the wind, and if there is any trouble, they will retreat immediately, so even the officers and soldiers often have nothing to do with these horse bandits.

Just like the Xiongnu, although they are also skilled in riding, they also have a headache when the horse bandits come and go like the wind, because the horse bandits often retreat whenever they make a mistake.

So the third leader didn't wait for Zhao Yi's answer at all, and said to all the horse bandits as soon as he reined in the horse.

"Withdraw! Withdraw from Mayi!"
