Liu Cheng left after saying a few words of respect to the advisor's gratitude.
Liu Cheng was still in a hurry to solve an even more troublesome problem, which was Cheng Yuanzhi.
Cheng Yuanzhi was not comparable to Deng Mao, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops under Cheng Yuanzhi. Deng Mao's five thousand troops could not compare to them.
With Liu Cheng and Guan Zhang, it would not be a problem for them to take down Deng Mao with a thousand Mongolian cavaliers. However, it would be a little difficult for a thousand to take on tens of thousands.
Liu Cheng called over the Mongolian cavaliers 'chiliarch. What surprised him was that the chiliarch was actually a Han.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Liu Cheng nodded silently when he saw how respectful the chiliarch was.
"Aren't these Mongolian cavaliers? Why are you a Han?"
" Reporting to my lord, the Mongolian cavaliers are just a special group of cavaliers to us. As long as we train them properly and have sufficient equipment, they don't have to be Outsiders.”
"Since that's the case, let's change our name to the Valiant Archers.”
"Yes, sir!"
The chiliarch didn't even think about Liu Cheng's words and only obeyed.
"Yes, I have a mission for you now. I need to know Cheng Yuanzhi's approximate location. Only then can we know ourselves and the enemy without losing a hundred battles. Therefore, bring some people with you to investigate the location of Cheng Yuanzhi's army. If they were discovered, they must not fight. The vast majority of the Yellow Turban Army are not equipped with horses. As long as you are not surrounded, you don't have to worry about your safety at all. Let's complete this mission as soon as possible. This might affect our success or failure in the next stop. As for the remaining soldiers, I will go find Grand Master and ask him to settle them down.”
"Yes, sir!"
The chiliarch accepted the order and quickly left with a hundred ferocious archers.
Liu Cheng rested for a while before bringing Guan Zhang and the remaining soldiers to the county office.
He had led the army and generals to kill Deng Mao and defend Zhuo County. Liu Cheng believed that his advisor would definitely not decline the matter of settling the army.
However, Liu Cheng had miscalculated one thing.
The county magistrate, who had fled with his family, had returned…
"It was you who led these military horses and defeated the Yellow Turban thief?”
The fat county magistrate sized up Liu Cheng, but it was obvious from his tone that he did not take Liu Cheng seriously.
Liu Cheng could naturally tell that he was not even polite. He snorted coldly and said,"You're the county magistrate who fled in fear after hearing the name of the Yellow Turban rebel army?”
"How dare you!"
Liu Cheng's words angered the county magistrate. He glared at Liu Cheng fiercely.
"Do you know what kind of crime it is for a commoner like you to hide a horse?”
"Ha, I led the army to battle and sent troops to save the city, preventing the people from being massacred. What crime is there?”
Liu Cheng did not give in. He had already thought it through. In this chaotic world, he had to be tough.
Moreover, this place was far away from the emperor. If the county magistrate was too aggressive, he could just kill him.
Obviously, the county magistrate did not know what Liu Cheng was thinking.
He was afraid of Deng Mao's five thousand Yellow Turban soldiers, but he wanted to rely on his official prestige to suppress Liu Cheng, who had defeated the Yellow Turban army.
If it was someone else, it was still possible.
However, this was Liu Cheng!
"A mere commoner dares to contradict me. Men, this person contradicted me. I'll give him fifty strokes first. In addition, this person secretly hid military horses and intended to rebel. After the fifty strokes, he would be dragged out and beheaded! One thousand cavalry archers were incorporated into the county government! Do it!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Guan Zhang drew out his weapon at almost the same time, protecting Liu Cheng.
Of course, even though the county magistrate had ordered them to do so, the remaining soldiers did not dare to make a move. The remaining ten or so soldiers had all witnessed with their own eyes how mighty Liu Cheng and the others were.
"My lord! You mustn't!"
Just then, Grand Master Gao Zhi rushed over.
"Magistrate, it is all thanks to this general that our Zhuo County has been able to survive and defeat the Yellow Turban bandits. If they really wanted to punish him, the people would probably not obey and it would be difficult to convince them! I hope you will reconsider!"
"Alright! Gao Zhi, you dare to stop me? Do you believe that I will kill you too? This is the county government office. Do you dare to disobey?"
The county magistrate did not seem to realize it at all and continued to play with his official authority.
"Ding ~! Divine level selection mission."
"Option 1: Kill the county magistrate. Reward: 10,000 arrows.”
"Option 2: Spare the county magistrate and reward him with ten thousand taels of silver.”
Liu Cheng curled his lips. Although he did not know if the value of these ten thousand taels of silver could exceed ten thousand arrows, it was not important.
Liu Cheng slowly stood up and walked to the county magistrate.
"You... Must you kill me?"
"Hmph, a mere commoner. I'll kill you if I say so. Men, give..."
Before the county magistrate could finish his sentence, he felt a chill on his neck.
It was unknown when the advisor Gao Zhi had pulled out a dagger and pressed it against the county magistrate's neck.
"If you want to hurt the general, then I'll kill you first!”
The advisor's actions were unexpected to everyone, including Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng quite liked Grand Master's personality. He was also a talent, but he was a little blindly loyal. If it was anyone else, they would have rebelled against the county magistrate.
However, with the Grand Master's personality, Liu Cheng was a little touched that he was willing to hold the county magistrate hostage for him today.
"Phew."
"Grand Master, you've been in such a small county government for so long, yet you still have to submit to such a dog official. It's really hard on you." From today onwards, follow me."
As soon as Liu Cheng finished speaking, a golden light flashed.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp."
The fat county magistrate's head fell to the ground, and blood splashed everywhere.
