Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 216 The Prefect of Wuling
"General Cheng, do you have any advice?"

After discussing for a long time, there was no result. Lu Zhi finally turned his attention to Cheng Huang and asked.

"Cough cough," Cheng Huang coughed lightly, touched his chin, and pretended to be thoughtful, "Master Lu, I still have an old opinion, and everything is about appeasement. I think that the generals Liu Shang, Li Song, Ma Cheng, Ma Yuan and others have conquered the Wuling Man before, but they were defeated. From this we can see how powerful the Wuling Man's mountain combat power is. In addition, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the Wuling Mountain. If we attack by force, it will be difficult. Do your best."

These words were all spoken by Xu Shu, and Cheng Huang was just passing them on.Xu Shu also taught Cheng Huang a way to defeat the Wuling barbarians, which is to lead them out of the mountainous area, gather and annihilate them.

Of course, this would not be in the interests of Xingyue City, so Cheng Huang didn't say anything.

After hearing Cheng Huang's words, Lu Zhi pondered for a while, before slowly opening his mouth: "General Cheng's words are reasonable, but it is obviously impossible to cut taxes and compensate goods. I don't know how to negotiate peace with Wuling Man?"

"Master Lu, a certain general thinks that you should discuss this matter with Master Cao, the prefect of Wuling, to see if the local government's policy can be tilted towards the barbarians, and then give them some assistance within your ability. Of course, before that, we must show the barbarians that we The majesty of the imperial army made the barbarians feel hopeless. In this way, the troubles of the Wuling barbarians will be solved." Cheng Huang said immediately.

"Well, the general is right. Let's divide our forces into two groups. We will advance to Yiyang and Chenyang, and pass through Linyuan to attack Youyang. In this way, we can force the Wuling barbarians into the mountains, and then lure them into the mountains. After all, great things will happen."

Soon, Lu Zhi sent his general Qin Chuang to lead an army of 20.As for himself, he personally led 15 soldiers and horses, and together with Cheng Huang's Dongting Army, he directly killed Yuanling, where the city of Wuling County is located.

After two days of raiding, the army arrived in Wuling County, and Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, went out of the city to meet him in person.

It was not the first time for Cheng Huang to visit Wuling, but it was the first time he came here as a general.

Entering Wuling, Cao Yin personally hosted a banquet for the generals. The richness of the food and wine made Cheng Huang, who had tasted all the delicacies of Dongting, couldn't help but be speechless.

Just look at the fat body of Cao Yin, you can know how he is an official!With such corrupt officials who plunder the people's fat and anointment, one can imagine the days of the barbarians in Wuling, and it would be strange not to rebel.

"I don't know what Master Cao thinks about this Wuling Barbarian Rebellion," Cheng Huang asked after a while of false pleasantries.

"This," Cao Yin stroked his oily cheek, a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The so-called poor mountains and evil waters come out of troublesome people. Most of our Wuling County is mountainous. In addition, it is brave and ruthless, and the people are tough. It is not surprising to rebel."

"Hehe," Cheng Huang smiled, "Listen to Mr. Cao's words, this barbarian chaos has already been expected, you should deal with it as soon as possible, figure out a solution, and send troops to prevent it if it doesn't work. Why do bandits All the way to attack the city and seize the territory, the officers and soldiers have no power to resist. Do you know that after the bandits passed, the people's property was robbed and the victims were everywhere."

"My lord, you don't have any sympathy for the people's feelings, but you spend your days and nights here. I don't know why."

Even if Cao Yin has lived in the officialdom for a long time and has a thick skin, Cheng Huang's words will make him blush.

"Cough cough," Lu Zhi coughed lightly, and said, "To be honest with Governor Cao, the news of Wuling's barbaric rebellion reached the capital, and the emperor was furious. He originally planned to dismiss you, my lord, for investigation, and even implicate the three clans. But All the ministers Nian Zai has been an official for many years and is loyal to the court, so they all interceded and suppressed this matter."

"When I was about to set off for the expedition, the emperor had already told me to cooperate with my actions, and the Wuling barbarian rebellion must be put down within three months. Otherwise, not only will you lose your head, Governor Cao, I'm afraid even my position will be lost. I wonder if Prefect Cao has a plan to defeat the enemy!"

The conversation between Cheng Huang and Lu Zhi scared Cao Yin into a cold sweat.The more greedy a person is, the more he cherishes his own life.

"Lord Lu, General Cheng, I will fully cooperate with your actions. Moreover, I, Wuling County, will be responsible for all the food and grass expenses of your army." Tang came out.

A group of gorgeous girls are all round and tall, and they are all in their twenties.

"I've met all the generals," all the girls saluted the generals in unison. There were all kinds of charms in their frowns and smiles, obviously they had undergone special training.

Looking at these beauties, Cheng Huang couldn't help shaking his head.What Cao Yin did was simply terrible.Needless to say, this guy must be a corrupt official.

Looking at these beauties, Cao Yin's eyes revealed a lustful light, and he said with a smile: "You guys, take good care of the generals. After you have done your service, my lord will reward you a lot."

"Yes!" The group of beauties answered together, twisting their slender waists, and walking towards the generals.

"Prefect Cao," Lu Zhi said with a gloomy face, he had completely seen Cao Yin in front of him. "You're going too far. I'm not the kind of person you imagined. Why don't you let this group of pink skeletons retreat quickly."

When Cao Yin saw that Lu Zhi's expression was wrong, he immediately understood, "Go back, get out!"

"Yes!" Yan Ji immediately walked back to the back hall.

"Hehe, I see that the aspirations of the generals are not here," Cao Yin laughed brightly, the fat on his face constantly shaking.After speaking, he clapped his hands again.

Then, a young man came out of the inner hall carrying a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.Cao Yin winked, and the servant brought the wooden tray in front of Lu Zhi.

"Master Lu, a small gift is not a respect, all the generals have worked hard all the way!" Cao Yin said with a wicked smile.

Lu Zhi uncovered the red cloth, and his face turned dark immediately.

I saw a plate of gold ingots piled up on the wooden plate.

Cheng Huang's eyelids twitched, a gold ingot can be exchanged for [-] gold coins!This plate of gold ingots is at least worth millions of gold coins!
This Cao Yin was worth millions of gold coins as soon as he made a move.With such a corrupt official alive, why worry about the big man not falling.

"Shaking clang clang..."

Lu Zhi suddenly got up, kicked the wooden plate, kicked over the copybook in front of him, pointed at Cao Yin and scolded.

"Officer dog, I, Lu Zhiwei, have fought for decades and conquered all over the world. I have made countless achievements in battle, and my family can't afford a hundred thousand gold coins. You and other officials sit back and enjoy the rewards, oppressing the people, causing resentment among the people, and chaos in the world. Look at it. , Outside Wuling County, there are hungry people everywhere, but you are here to indulge in money and money, and you want to bribe Lu."

"If you don't get rid of the dog officials, I'm afraid there will never be a peaceful day in the world. Today, I, Lu Zhi, put on the black sand hat on my head, and I want to get rid of harm for the people."

"choke……"

Lu Zhi had already drawn out the sharp sword at his waist, and walked towards Cao Yin step by step.
