The strongest Marquis in history

"So, I'm willing to take a gamble."

Wang Qi's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "And I really believe in Jia Xing. This person is empathetic and has some talents, so he won't be too bad. It is a good thing for Linyi County that such a person is in charge of Linyi County."

Zhuge Feng nodded and said no more.

Wang Qi waited for a while, and then he brought Zhuge Feng to the place where all the bandits were detained.

One by one, there was a lot of discussion.

On the faces of many bandit soldiers, there was even more fear and uneasiness.After all, all of them have become Wang Qi's captives, and they don't know what will happen next?

Wang Qi's true energy was circulating, he took a breath, and said: "Quiet!"

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

A pair of eyes fell on Wang Qi, waiting for Wang Qi to speak.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "You are Xue Tang's people. It is reasonable to say that you are bandit soldiers. You should all be executed as an example. But I think that Linyi County is in chaos, and you are helpless. If you don't go down, you will have to fall into the grass and become a bandit."

When the thieves heard this, many people immediately started talking.

Most of these thieves are actually ordinary people.Because life was difficult, Xue Tang rebelled and was coerced into participating in the rebellion.

If you don't rebel, you can't survive.

Rebellion, somehow can survive.

It's a matter of no choice.

Wang Qi let the thieves discuss, and after a while, when the voice of the discussion subsided a little, he said again: "Now you have become my captives, I will release you."

"However, before releasing you, I will give you three options."

"First, let you return to Linyi County."

"Many people cannot leave their homeland and are unwilling to leave the place where they live. I will release you and let you go back. After you go back, it is best not to continue to be thieves, because it is very difficult for me to kill Linyi County soon, and I will let you go. You can live in peace."

"Of course, if you continue to be a thief, you will bear the consequences."

Wang Qi's eyes gradually became sharper, and he said: "When I take Linyi County, you will continue to be thieves. The next punishment will not release you like now, but will ask you for your crimes."

Whoa! !

One by one, the thieves began to discuss.

The expressions on many people's faces were filled with shock. They did not expect that Wang Qi's first arrangement was to let them leave.

don't kill them.

It's also unbelievable.

In the heart of the thief, it was hard to imagine why Wang Qi did this.

Wang Qi raised his hand and pressed down. The noisy voice gradually returned to calm. Wang Qi said again: "The second option is that I allow you to submit to me and serve in our army."

"But when you are in my army, you have to abide by my rules. Impossible, let you be loose."

"That's the second option."

"The third option is that if you are willing to go north to live in Ju County, I will give you a certain amount of dry food so that you can go to Ju County."

"Today's Ju County needs a lot of people."

"When you arrive in Juxian County, you don't have to worry about not being able to live. In Juxian County, there has been a work-for-relief program, and dams are being built everywhere, and canals are being dug. These are all profitable. So when you go, you can support your family."

Wang Qi said: "These are the three choices I give you. Those who want to leave now, stand on the left side of the formation. Those who want to stay and serve in the army with me, stay where they are. Those who want to go north to Ju County, just Stand to the right."

"let's start."

Wang Qi gave an order.

The thieves in the entire formation talked a lot.

Many people have doubts at this time.

Amidst the people's hesitation, after a while, Jia Xing stepped forward and stood directly on the left.

He is the military commander of the army.

As Jia Xing stood up, groups of bandits stood up, and a large number of people stood on the left side.

These are all things to leave.

The number of people staying in place is decreasing, and some of these bandits are standing on the right side, wanting to go to Ju County to ask for a living and a place to stay.

Wang Qi waited quietly.

For about a quarter of an hour or so, the crowd stopped moving.

Wang Qi asked again: "Now, is there anything else that needs to be changed? Once it is decided, it will not be changed."

All, no change.

Everyone stood up.

Wang Qi sized it up. From a rough look, there were about 2000 bandit soldiers who left with Jia Xing, and there were probably 800 people who were willing to stay to serve Wang Qi.

The number of people who went to Ju County was another 700.

This number is not bad.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, those who want to go south and return to Linyi County can go. Remember my words, I hope you will stop helping the tyrant to be a tyrant and become a bandit."

Jia Xing left in a hurry.

The rest followed suit.

Wang Qi asked Zhuge Feng to allocate food, and took some dry food for those who were going to Ju County.After these people left, Zhuge Feng collected the remaining seven or eight hundred bandit soldiers.

The reorganization is actually very simple, that is, all the people are evenly distributed to the bottom of the army.

It is not difficult to divide the seven 800 people.

Then in the daily walking exercises, these people will naturally be subtly affected.

The team led by Wang Qi did not leave for the time being. Instead, they temporarily rested in place, burned all the dead bodies at the same time, and reorganized the army a little bit.

After resting for an hour and a half, the team led by Wang Qi set off to continue on their way.

At this time, go to Kaiyang County.

Linyi County itself borders Kaiyang County.To the north of Linyi County is Ju County, and to the southeast of Linyi County is Kaiyang County.The army led by Wang Qi went straight to Kaiyang County.

But this time, Wang Qi didn't hide his whereabouts. Instead, he set off a banner and hurried on in an open and aboveboard manner.The reason for doing this is to let Kaiyang County know the situation.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the troops in Kaiyang County to return to aid.

Chapter 359

Kaiyang County is located in the south-central part of Langya Kingdom, not the southernmost area of ​​Langya Kingdom.

The southernmost point is Jiqiu County.

The person currently entrenched in Kaiyang County is a man named Bai Boshan.

Bai Boshan was born in a family of generals.In the past dynasties of the Bai family, there have been generals in the court, but although they are generals, there have been no prominent generals.

In Baiboshan's generation, it has even declined.Even so, Bai Boshan has taken advantage of the family background, recruited a lot of customers, secretly accumulated strength, and has a very strong strength.

After the turmoil in Langya Kingdom, Baiboshan directly raised the banner to rebel and captured Kaiyang County.Bai Boshan is a shrewd person, he never became the king directly, instead he replaced the original magistrate and became the new magistrate of Kaiyang County.

Even after Bai Boshan took Kaiyang County, he restrained the soldiers under his command and implemented the original strategy of light taxation and light corvee, which was good for the people under his rule, and did not cause any major turmoil in Kaiyang County.

Bai Boshan's plan is simple.

Stabilize the situation first, develop in a low-key manner, and wait and see the situation.

If the situation becomes more and more corrupt, then he can take advantage of the situation and continue to expand.Then, he became the king and hegemony, and monopolized one side.If the situation is unfavorable, he can make a change and directly join the imperial court.

This is Bai Boshan's plan.

In today's Kaiyang County, there is a military camp.

Bai Boshan attaches great importance to the army, and he knows very well that in this troubled world, the most fundamental thing is the army.

Without the army, there is nothing.

In particular, Bai Boshan himself was born in a family of generals, and he attached great importance to the army.Baibo Mountain, [-] miles away, is in the army, practicing with soldiers.

When the soldiers were training in Baibo Mountain, there were soldiers who came to Baibo Mountain in a hurry.

The soldier looked a little flustered.

The soldiers reported: "Master the county, something is wrong. Our sentry found Wang Qi's army. Wang Qi's army turned from Linyi County and came to our Kaiyang County. Not only that, Linyi County went to help the sea The army in Qu County has already been defeated."

brush!

Bai Boshan's complexion changed slightly.

The situation is not good.

Wang Qi's army suddenly appeared in Kaiyang County and rushed towards the county town.

In particular, the reinforcements from Linyi County were defeated.

For a while, Bai Boshan was in a mess.He ordered the generals to train the soldiers, and without changing their clothes, they rode out of the barracks and hurried back to the county government office.Then Bai Boshan ordered people to call Jiangshan, the county magistrate.

Jiang Shan is Bai Boshan's counselor.

After Baiboshan took Kaiyang County and took Kaiyang County into his hands, Jiang Shan became the county magistrate, responsible for many government affairs of Kaiyang County for Baiboshan.

Jiang Shan entered the hall, bowed to Bai Boshan and said: "The county lord."

Bai Boshan said in a deep voice: "Sir, just got the news that the army led by Wang Qi has wiped out the reinforcements from Linyi County who were rushing to help Haiqu County. Now, they are coming towards us. How should we deal with the current situation? "

After Jiang Shan heard it, his complexion changed slightly.

Wang Qi actually came.

Also defeated the troops of Linyi County.

Jiang Shan's complexion became serious, and he said: "Master Xian, Wang Qi came to kill us, the situation is very bad! Especially Wang Qi is now famous. After defeating the reinforcements in Linyi County, he will kill us in Kaiyang County Come, it will definitely make people's hearts flutter."

Bai Boshan said: "I know the situation is not good, now I am asking you, what should we do?"

Jiang Shan thought for a while, and said: "The current method, we can only choose to stick to it, and at the same time recall the front-line soldiers and horses, and return to the county. In this battle, we sent out 5000 elite soldiers, and the strength in our city is only about [-]. .With our strength alone, it is not easy to resist Wang Qi, and we must withdraw our troops."

Bai Boshan's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, you and I are both people who know how to use troops. Once the army is withdrawn, Wang Qi will turn around and directly attack this group of returned elite soldiers? What I am worried about is that this army will be attacked. Until the ambush. At that time, the entire army will be defeated."

Bai Boshan itself, after all, was born as a general.

Know how to use troops.

So right now, he has considered the worst-case scenario and is worried that the troops outside will be blocked.

Jiang Shan said slowly: "Honorable County, in fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. You only need to send a letter to Jin Yulong, the leader of the army outside, and ask him to lead the army back and pay attention to ambush."

"Wang Qi can't ambush the [-] reinforcements led by Jin Yulong. As for Kaiyang County, we will guard against death. Naturally, there will be no problem. So in my opinion, we have sufficient capabilities to win the final victory in this battle. "

Jiang Shan said: "Wang Qi won't be able to win for a long time, so it is impossible for him to stay forever."

After Bai Boshan listened, he thought about it carefully.

It seems that there is some truth.

Bai Boshan thought for a while, and said: "In fact, this suggestion is not safe enough. Everyone knows Wang Qi's strength. Although the strength of this time is only a few thousand. But what if we can't carry it?"

Jiang Shan cursed in his heart.

Can't stand it?

If you can't bear it, you will die.

Now it is necessary to resist.

Jiang Shan didn't dare to say what was on his mind, he smiled slightly and said, "Master County, to be on the safe side, there is another arrangement right now."

Bai Boshan asked, "What arrangement?"

Jiang Shandao: "Arrange people to notify the army in Jiqiu County, and ask them to join us in besieging Wang Qi. At the same time, ask Liang Chenxiang to also send troops, and we will besiege Wang Qi together."

Bai Boshan shook his head and said: "Mr. Jiang, I think your suggestion is even more inappropriate. Liang Chen is like a man, extremely treacherous. It is impossible to let him take action. He is mainly protecting his own Haiqu County, and it is impossible to help us of."

Jiang Shan suddenly fell silent.
