Chapter 51 It must be my good brother who has returned victoriously!
Under the escort of Monk Huishi, Qian Cang came to the lobby of Juhe County Yamen.
Cui Heng was sitting here at this time.
However, before Qian Cang had the time to pay his respects to Cui Heng, he saw a familiar figure.
It was Fang Nanzheng, who was
also a trusted aide to Liu Litao, the governor of Lu County. "Fang Nanzheng, you actually betrayed the governor too?!" Qian Cang widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed, looking at this middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old with some disbelief.
This man was one of the earliest confidants to follow Liu Litao. He had been following Liu Litao when he was still the county magistrate.
He didn't expect that the person who surrendered before him was him!
Fang Nanzheng also saw Qian Cang and sneered, "Really? It seems that I didn't miscalculate your character. You will really betray the prefect. You are really an ungrateful person."
"Bah! Are you qualified to say that to me?" Qian Cang couldn't help but cursed, "If I am an ungrateful person, then who are you? Prefect Liu has been very kind to you!" "
I am a man who knows the current affairs. The county lord is a fairy. When I saw the county lord, I was instantly impressed and turned to the light." Fang Nanzheng actually had a righteous expression, "Unlike you, who is thinking of betraying without even seeing the county lord. This is a rebellious brain."
After speaking, he bowed to Cui Heng and said, "County lord, this person is ungrateful and born rebellious. Please..."
"Okay." Cui Heng interrupted the quarrel between the two.
Monk Huishi immediately stepped forward and swept his threatening gaze towards the two people, which immediately made them silent, shrinking their necks and not daring to speak anymore.
Compared with Cui Heng's calmness, the murderous aura on Monk Huishi made them more frightened.
"I don't want to hear about the grievances between you, and I don't care what that Governor Liu wants to do."
Cui Heng spoke slowly and said lightly, "How many people are there in Lu County City, how many counties are under its jurisdiction, and how many people are there? Tell me all about it."
The information transmission in this world is extremely unsmooth. Even as the magistrate of Juhe County, he can only understand the situation in his own county and cannot access the detailed data of other counties.
Qian Cang and Fang Nanzheng were shocked when they heard this.
This county magistrate really wanted to seize the position of governor, otherwise why would he care about the number of people in various places?
Only when attacking the city, do you need to care about this.
However, now they can no longer care about what will happen to Governor Liu.
So they rushed to explain the situation of the entire Lu County to Cui Heng.
Lu County has been established for two thousand years.
During this long period of time, the administrative divisions have changed several times. To this day, the area is still thousands of miles in radius, with a total of 21 counties under its jurisdiction. Ten years ago, a household survey was conducted, with a total of more than 1.3 million people.
There are more than 300,000 residents in Lu County alone.
This is just the local population.
Lu County City is the hub of Fengzhou's waterways. Countless merchants have passed through it. With these people, the number of people in Lu County City on a daily basis is estimated to be close to 500,000.
The population of each county is different.
Juhe County is considered medium among them, with a total of 110,000 people in the county, 80,000 in the county town, and the rest are scattered in the villages and towns.
"I only mobilized the emotions of 80,000 people in Juhe County City before, and collected a lot of people's emotions..."
Cui Heng fell into deep thought after hearing this, thinking to himself, "If I can mobilize the emotions of nearly 500,000 people in Lu County City, what will it be like?"
As for mobilizing the emotions of more than one million people in the entire Lu County, he had never thought about it.
After all, such a huge population is scattered in various counties and towns, and it is impossible to gather them together.
Thinking of this, Cui Heng looked at Qian Fang and smiled, "I will let you go back. You can report the war situation here to Liu Litao truthfully."
"County Lord, I am willing to follow you till death!" Fang Nanzheng knelt down with a thump, begging, "I was completely convinced when I saw you for the first time. Please take me in." When
Monk Huishi heard what Fang Nanzheng said, his face suddenly became as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Because he had said something similar before, but now it was said by such a guy, what would the county Lord think?
Qian Cang did not cry like Fang Nanzheng.
He was quick-witted. He immediately understood Cui Heng's meaning and bowed to him, saying, "Qian Cang will not fail the trust of the county lord."
Fang Nanzheng was stunned and looked at Qian Cang in astonishment.
His eyes seemed to be asking, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by not failing the trust of the county lord? What task did you just entrust me with?"
"Waste, this kind of stuff dares to compete with me?"
Qian Cang sneered in his heart. Seeing Fang Nanzheng's current look, he was very proud in his heart, "It's meaningless to not even know how to guess the intention of the superior and only kneel down to lick!"
"Okay, both of you can leave." Cui Heng waved his hand.
"Yes, county lord."
Qian Cang and Fang Nanzheng said goodbye and left in unison.
After the two left the county government, Fang Nanzheng approached Qian Cang and wanted to ask him something, but he was ignored by him and could only watch Qian Cang go away.
After Qian Cang pulled his horse, he galloped towards Lu County City.
His mentality now was completely different from when he came, and he was no longer confused.
After listening to Cui Heng's words, he thought about what Cui Heng had asked before, and he successfully guessed the "intention".
First of all, this Cui County Master must want to seize the position of prefect.
Otherwise, he would not have asked about the population situation of each county.
And with his magical means of calling the wind and rain, this should not be a difficult thing.
Now he released his two defectors and explained the situation of Juhe County to Governor Liu truthfully.
In fact, he gave Governor Liu a chance to choose.
Should he give up the position of Governor or wait for such a deity to attack?
This County Lord Cui was obviously inclined to the former.
I think it was because the deity had a compassionate heart and there was no need to use force if it was possible not to.
Moreover, in Qian Cang's view, this is also a test of the abilities of these two defectors.
Convincing Governor Liu to voluntarily hand over the position of Governor is the task Cui Heng gave them!
Whoever completes it well will be stronger!
As for whether he will be killed by Governor Liu directly after returning...
Qian Cang is not worried.
With his understanding of Liu Litao, as long as he describes the strength here as real and powerful, Liu Litao will definitely not dare to take action.
Thinking of this, Qian Cang couldn't help but admire in his heart, "This Cui County Master is worthy of being a great man like a god!"
Just these few simple sentences have such a profound meaning.
Not only did it directly point out the strategy to deal with Governor Liu, but it could also achieve the purpose of testing the abilities of the two defectors. Kill two birds
with one stone!
It's really amazing!
...
After Qian Fang and the other two left.
Monk Hui Shi asked with some doubt: "County Lord, what tasks did you assign them?"
Qian Cang's confident look just now made him wonder if he was distracted and missed something.
"How should I know." Cui Heng shook his head and laughed, looking outside and said, "Let them go back, just because these two people are useless here, it's better to return them to the governor Liu."
He did have a plan to seize the position of governor of Lu County, but not now.
It has to wait until the Yan Wang army is dealt with.
By then, as long as he arrives in Lu County City, the position of governor will naturally be his.
There is no need to assign any tasks.
…
The seat of the King of Yan was in Xiling County, 500 miles away from Juhe County.
Although Yan Sheng did not ride a horse, he was a master of the Transformation Realm after all, and his pace was extremely fast.
In less than a day, he returned to Xiling County.
It was midnight.
At this time, Wang Shun had not yet been beheaded in Juhe County.
The soldiers guarding the city gate recognized Yan Sheng and saluted him.
"Hello, Lieutenant General Yan."
Yan Sheng was not valued in the King of Yan's army, and had always been just a small Lieutenant General.
In the past, whenever he heard someone call him Lieutenant General, his mood would become extremely bad.
However, he didn't care about these things now, and hurriedly said: "Go and inform His Highness, I have urgent military information to report in person, it's urgent!"
At this time, Wang Tong, who proclaimed himself the King of Yan, was entertaining everyone in his temporary palace.
This temporary palace was rebuilt from the former county governor's office. The area is not large, but it is enough.
After all, only important confidants can participate in Wang Tong's late-night banquet.
There are only six people in total.
The Xiling County City has long been quiet, and the bodies of the people can be seen everywhere.
But it is a time of joy in the palace.
Wang Tong sat on the throne at the top, and the seats below were on both sides.
On one side sat three military officers, and on the other side sat a civil official and two monks.
The musicians played lascivious music behind the seats on both sides, and nine beautiful dancers swayed in the middle.
They were all beautiful girls of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing gauze that could barely cover their charming and slender figures, and their every move was stretching infinite beauty.
The mountains were undulating, and the peonies were blooming.
The dancers all had smiles on their faces, seemingly calm and elegant.
But there was a lingering sadness between their brows.
In fact, they were all daughters of local officials in Xiling County, and they were once the apple of their family's eye.
In the chaotic times, when the war came, they immediately became playthings.
Wang Tong's eyes swept over these dancers, and he was thinking about how to fight the nine girls tonight, and which ones to focus on and which ones to focus on.
At this time, a soldier ran in hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Lieutenant Yan has returned and said that there is an urgent military situation and he wants to report it to you in person."
"Yan Sheng? This dog came back by himself?" Wang Tong frowned.
He was interrupted and felt a little unhappy.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is indeed only Lieutenant Yan." The soldier replied.
"Hahaha! Great!" Wang Tong suddenly laughed, stood up, and laughed loudly, "It must be him! It must be my good brother Wang Tong who won a great victory and sent this dog to tell me the good news!
"Let him in quickly, I want to hear how my good brother captured Juhe County!"
Three thousand words~
