Chapter 352
Changchun County, Daying.

Xue Zhili sat high in the middle, the chair was covered with a thick layer of bear skin.

Falcon-like eyes scanned the surroundings.

"Military officer, look, are the soldiers and horses of this general elite?"

He smiled and asked a scribe next to him.

In the barracks, the soldiers lined up in front, middle and back three queues, undergoing inspection.

The scribe's originally casual eyes became shrewd after counting the number of people.

There were originally [-] elite soldiers, but during this period of time he expanded the number and trained [-] armored soldiers.

In the barracks, rehearse the advance and retreat, and get familiar with the drums.

After a period of training, eating and drinking well, and spending a lot of supplies, these recruits gradually lost their original rusticity.

And because they have experienced several victories, their morale is now strong.

I have to say that there is indeed a shadow of a strong army.

"The general's soldiers are indeed elite soldiers."

On the surface, the scribe was still talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and he couldn't see the trick hidden in his heart at all.

"It seems that Xue Zhili is unwilling to live under Nestorianism..."

The scholar himself, surnamed Huang, first name Zhao, styled Dongliang.

He himself was a well-known scholar in the county, and he had no choice but to surrender Xue Zhili after the city was broken.

At that time, Xue Zhili ordered people to arrest scholars everywhere, intimidate and lure them, and those who refused to obey killed the whole family on the spot.

In front of the heads of several of his peers, he... bowed shamefully.

After becoming a thief, he kept his duty and only wanted to save the lives of the whole family.

However, most of the scholars in this county are pretenders, and they got him the title of military adviser without knowing it.

"I'm so miserable! There's a big deal on the table! This thief failed, wouldn't I suffer too?"

He secretly groaned in his heart, but on the face, Huang Zhao bowed and bowed down, complimenting him:

"If the general has such elite soldiers, he will surely be rich!"

"Hahaha, Master Huang still knows what I want, not like those ignorant boys!"

Xue Zhili narrowed his eyes, then laughed with satisfaction, and patted Huang Zhao on the shoulder.

"Pfft, ahem—"

Huang Zhao's shoulders sank, his chest felt tight, and he almost passed out.

Seeing him like this, Xue Zhili laughed again.

"Military teacher, why do you look like a girl? It's too weak. You need to practice more!"

Huang Zhao squeezed out a wry smile, and said aggrievedly:
"I'm...not a warrior!"

What a picture of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

It's a pity that Huang Zhao has never had loyalty in his heart, and he has been planning a retreat early on.

"Xue Zhili started his business with the support of Nestorianism, so he could pull out [-] elites and break through the county."

"But now that his wings have hardened, he is unwilling to be a puppet!"

"Look at the recruits. There are about 2000 recruits. They are all from local farmers. There are almost no Nestorians."

"It's so obvious that it's almost undisguised... This is an open confrontation with Nestorian!"

"It's not bad as I expected. There must be a big gap between the two."

Huang Zhao had many thoughts in his mind.

"So... where is my chance to escape?"

"Being a thief and possessing rebellion are both serious crimes to destroy the three clans. I, Huang Zhao, must not fall to this point!"

"It's not enough just to get away! I have to make great achievements, and I have to make great achievements in order to wash away this charge... even! Go one step further!"

During this period of time in the enemy camp, Huang Zhao did not learn anything else, but his acting skills were much improved.

Even if it was Xue Zhili face to face, he didn't realize how terrible the intentions of this obedient and well-behaved literati in front of him were.

The most hone of acting skills is the realm of life and death. Those who showed hostility to Xue Zhili early on have all had their heads cut off, along with their families.

Those who survived have long been used to wearing thick masks.

A soldier came over with the package in his arms and handed it to Xue Zhili.

Xue Zhili unfolded the cloth outside, looked at it for a while, and nodded from time to time.

Huang Zhao didn't look sideways, sat on his seat, stared at the drills of the soldiers on the school field, and didn't spy on things that he didn't dare to look at.

It is such a cautious attitude that made him live up to now without violating Xue Zhili's taboo.

You must know that Xue Zhili, who traveled across the ocean in his early years and was a real pirate, is really cruel and moody.

If he really offended him, he would have to be whipped.

Xue Zhili raised his head, looked at his well-behaved "Military Advisor", and nodded in satisfaction.

"Military division, within three days, we will call."

"So fast?"

"That's natural. There are only two thousand soldiers in a small county town. How can it be the opponent of my general's fifty thousand troops?"

Xue Zhili waved his hand, and the big black cloak fluttered in the air.

Huang Zhao's emotions were surging, guessing what the soldier sent just now.

"Could it be intelligence... I heard that Xue Zhili has attracted a lot of thieves, who are used to sneaking doors to pick locks, stealing military aircraft, and spying on all kinds of information."

"It's no accident, I guess I found out the reality of Beichen County. Is this a well-thought-out plan?"

"No, if this thief is big, I won't have a chance to escape! I will definitely try to break this matter, and I can't make him do what he wants."

Xue Zhili inspected the army, felt tired, got up and left.

Huang Zhao bowed to see him off, and a group of people sat up and bowed to see him off.

"Congratulations to send the general out..."

They shouted in unison.

A row of pretty maids, holding flower petals and clear water, cleared the way ahead.

Sprinkle with clean water to avoid dust, and spread the petals on the ground to avoid peculiar smell.

After Xue Zhili's incident, he soon became fascinated by such ostentation and indulged in pleasure.

Whenever you travel, you must bring support and put on a show.

When he came to the barracks like this, he did not forget to bring a maid with him, which made the people of insight secretly dumbfounded.

"This Xue thief is really hopeless. He is so extravagant and likes to show off before his great career is accomplished."

"If such a person is allowed to sit on the dragon chair, I don't know how to harm the world!"

"I'm afraid it's another king of Jie and Zhou..."

Such an attitude strengthened Huang Zhao's rebellion.

Beneath the calm surface, an undercurrent secretly surged.

The land of the three counties that was brought down by Xue Zhili was still young, and many big households were convinced and secretly prepared to fight back.

It's just that Xue Zhili's army is in full swing right now, so he dare not move.

"When Xue's army leaves, I can link up with each other, attack the rear battalion, and cut off their retreat..."

"However, there must be capable people to drag his main force elsewhere. Can Beichen County alone do it?"

Huang Zhao was thinking about it.

In the previous fall of the three counties, except for a few rebellious families, the rest of the big households were looted, the men were beheaded for public display, and the women were used as military prostitutes. The end was extremely miserable.
