Chapter 582 Super Action

Gu Nanxi stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered the execution of the military counselor. Then he led his troops to Taihe County.

Li Changtian stayed in Xin'an County to assist Lord Lu in stabilizing the situation in Xin'an County, while paying attention to the developments in Xingye County.

Mei Tang followed Gu Nanxi to Taihe County.

As the night deepened, the breeze blew gently, and the leaves made a rustling sound.

After seeing off Duke Yun's envoy, the magistrate of Taihe County lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Are there thorns on your bed? Or are you still thinking about your new concubine?" The county magistrate's wife, who was lying on the bed, kicked the county magistrate hard on his butt.

The magistrate of Taihe County was nearly kicked off the bed. He hugged the quilt and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder your husband?"

The county magistrate's wife was not afraid at all. She frowned and put her hands on her hips. "I was just about to ask you, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? You are just afraid of offending Duke Yun, you coward! "

The magistrate of Taihe County was struck by the truth. His face turned red and he muttered, "Aren't you afraid? This is the Duke of Yun. The murderous Tartars didn't last more than a few rounds under her hands!"

The county magistrate's wife thought of the rumors she had heard before, that Duke Yun liked to chop off the heads of his enemies and make them into imperial crowns, and she couldn't help but shudder.

The county magistrate's wife touched her neck. Why did she feel so cold?

"How about we go to Duke Yun?"

The Magistrate of Taihe County had a bitter face: "Alas, it's all Cheng Yan's fault. If he hadn't taken the lead in surrendering to Duke Yun, how could I be in such a difficult situation?!"

The county magistrate's wife asked, "What are you planning to do?"

The Taihe County Magistrate himself didn't know what to do: "Let's wait and see. Aren't there Xingye County and Xin'an County ahead? Let's wait and see."

The couple sighed together, covered themselves with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

But how can I sleep with such a big thing on my mind?

The two sighed frequently.

"It's bad, sir! It's bad! A group of soldiers are coming from outside the city!"

The magistrate of Taihe County sat up suddenly and asked impatiently: "Whose soldiers are they? From which direction are they coming? How many people are there? Where are the county lieutenants? Hurry up and wake them up!"

The Taihe County Magistrate simply put on his clothes, slipped on his shoes and ran out.

At this time, the entire Taihe County was awakened by the shrill sound of gongs and drums, and many families lit candles.

"They came from the north gate. They looked so crowded that I couldn't even count how many people there were!"

The magistrate of Taihe County got on his carriage and ran up to the city wall.

The county seat of Taihe County is not big, and its city walls are not made of bluestone bricks like those of Yunzhou, which are several meters high.

The brick walls in Taihe County are all built with earth and stone and are less than two meters high.

Standing on top and looking down, you can clearly see the expressions of those people.

The magistrate of Taihe County had cold sweat on his forehead and had an uneasy feeling in his heart. The next second, the soldiers under the city wall raised flags.

Under the cold moonlight, the bright flags are so dazzling.

The magistrate of Taihe County felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground, groaning in his heart!

Okay!

Duke Yun directly put forward his own name without even pretending. This left him no room to fool around!

Mei Tang was ordered to shout: "Duke Yun has ordered that the city gates be opened before dawn!"

This is not a discussion at all, but a notification!

The magistrate of Taihe County felt his legs tremble. The soldiers under the city wall were like gods of death, exuding an iron-blooded temperament.

The magistrate of Taihe County had no doubt at all that as soon as daybreak, the city gate of his Taihe County would be torn to pieces by them like paper!

The county town was in chaos, with all kinds of stories being told.

"This is really too much! As long as we hold out until dawn, the governor will definitely send troops to support us!"

The person who spoke was spat at by the others: "Bullshit! The governor will never send troops. Even if he does, how can they be a match for Duke Yun?"

"Even if they come, our county would have been breached long ago. In my opinion, a man of insight is a wise man. You should quickly join the Duke of Yun!"

"No! The crimes committed by Duke Yun in Shuozhou are too numerous to list. If we let her in, will we still have a chance to survive?"

Someone was smart and directly exposed this person's little thoughts: "There is definitely a way out for ordinary people like us. The ones who have no way out are you gentry who are rich and unkind and exploit the people in your hometown."

This was the absolute truth. Many gentry went to see the county lieutenant overnight, hoping that he would lead the soldiers defending the city to hold out for a while and not let Duke Yun attack.

The county lieutenant seemed to have heard something out of the blue: "Who is going to fight against Duke Yun? Me? If I had that ability, wouldn't I have been a general long ago?!"

The gentry said with a bitter heart: "Five thousand taels!"

The county lieutenant reached out his hand and pointed at the door: "Go and have a look. When they heard that Duke Yun was coming, all the yamen runners and soldiers ran away. No one came to report. Who do you want me to command?"

Come on, is this an ordinary person?

This is Duke Yun!

Who was the last person who asked Duke Yun to lead troops to the gates of a city?

It is the impregnable Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun!

Even the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun did not hold out for long, as they were all taken over by the Duke of Yun!

The life and death of a small Taihe County all depends on the thought of Duke Yun.

Gu Nanxi, who was still waiting under the city wall, was preparing to dismount, take a short rest, and then attack the city after dawn.

Unexpectedly, less than an hour after Mei Tang finished speaking, the gate of Taihe County was opened from the inside out.

The magistrate of Taihe County led a group of officials and walked out first.

They didn't dare to look up at Nan Xi, they just knelt down and said respectfully: "Welcome Duke Yun!"

Looking inside through the city gate, Taihe County was brightly lit.

On both sides of the main road, people from Taihe County were kneeling in a row.

The teahouses and taverns on the street hung up all the colorful flags and red silks, which they got from somewhere.

Gu Nanxi and Mei Tang looked at each other. They really didn’t expect that the magistrate of Taihe County would be so successful!

Mei Tang walked forward, took the official seal from the magistrate of Taihe County, then turned around and stood beside Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi rode the horse, and the Yunzhou cavalry behind him followed in unison.

The uniform movements made everyone in Taihe County tremble with fear.

Are these the Yunzhou cavalrymen galloping across the grassland? !

Is this the Duke of Yun who made the Tartars tremble in fear?

The military flags flutter in the wind, and the war drums urge the troops to move forward bravely!

At this moment, the villains hiding in the darkness no longer dared to resist.

After Gu Nanxi entered Taihe County, he ordered Mei Tang to take over all affairs in Taihe County, and left behind a thousand Yunzhou cavalry to help Mei Tang maintain public order in Taihe County.

When the rooster crowed at dawn and the first ray of sunlight shone on Taihe County again, Taihe County officially changed its policies, and the bright red Yunzhou flag was hoisted on the city wall!

Gu Nanxi stood on the city wall and looked south. There were the only two remaining county towns in Hezhong County, Suining County and Hezhong Prefecture!

It’s New Year’s Eve. Are your kids all at home preparing for the New Year?

My scalp starts to tingle when I think about having to greet so many people tomorrow.
