"Thank you for your help, Mr. Qin…"
The county magistrate of Tang County was an old man. He staggered over to Qin Chuan and bowed deeply.
Qin Chuan's rescue was too timely. If he had arrived a little later, Tang County would have changed hands. He could only come over to collect his corpse.
Although he had one foot in the coffin, he still had his family and children.
Hence, he was extremely grateful for Qin Chuan's timely rescue.
Originally, he was just trying his luck. He did not expect Qin Chuan to actually send out his troops.
Moreover, he brought a terrifying army with him. It was like a divine weapon descending from the heavens.
This army was all tall and strong, with black steel armor, black majestic horses, and divine weapons.
The momentum of the charge was like a hot knife through butter.
Perhaps only the Zhen family of Wuji County had the financial resources to create such a terrifying army.
" Lord Xu is too polite. The army is in chaos, and the world is in danger. As officials of the imperial court, we should sacrifice our lives to serve the imperial court. As colleagues, we should sacrifice our lives to help…"
Qin Chuan cupped his hands and spoke politely.
Wuji County was adjacent to Tang County. Although Qin Chuan had just become the county magistrate, he had met this guy twice.
After all, the Zhen family was a giant in Jizhou, and Elder Xu was just a county magistrate.
"Lord Qin, Lord Zhongyi, it's the Great Han Dynasty's fortune to have you in the imperial court…"
Old Man Xu quickly complimented.
"I wouldn't dare…"
Qin Chuan was very humble.
"Mr. Qin, I'll order some people to prepare some food. Let's go into the city and reward the soldiers…"
Old Man Xu made an inviting gesture.
When the chaos started, Qin Chuan possessed terrifying combat strength. He naturally wanted to get closer to Qin Chuan.
"Please!"
Qin Chuan nodded and called Dian Wei and the others over.
Guan Yu let the soldiers clean up the battlefield before following them.
Not long after, food and wine were served.
"Lord Xu, how do you plan to deal with the surrendered soldiers outside the city?？”
Qin Chuan raised his wine cup and asked indifferently.
"Since the rebel army surrendered to Lord Qin, we'll let you handle them. I'll cooperate with you…"
Old Man Xu muttered to himself.
This old fellow was quite smart.
Qin Chuan thought to himself. He pretended to think for a long time before saying,"Although the rebel army is a rebel army, most of them are refugees. To be honest, although the refugees 'outbreak was due to natural disasters, it was also our responsibility! If they were killed, who would be able to farm in the coming year?”
"Mr. Qin, you're right…"
Old Man Xu nodded in agreement and did not refute.
"Moreover, the yellow bandits are violent and ferocious. We have the advantage in numbers. Although we have suppressed this group, we can't guarantee that there won't be a next wave of yellow bandits.”
"So, why don't you accept them, Lord Xu?" Qin Chuan continued.”
" Lord Qin, although these yellow bandits are refugees, they have the advantage in numbers. I'm afraid that even opening the granary won't be enough to feed them. Moreover, without the county governor's order, I don't dare to open the granary…"
Old Man Xu smiled bitterly.
" How about I make the decision for you?!"
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"Mr. Qin…what do you mean?"
Old Man Xu asked carefully.
"What I mean is, I'm in charge of Tang County!”
Qin Chuan's tone was still extremely calm."How can we kill all the thousands of surrendered soldiers? Releasing him will definitely cause great trouble! You can't afford to raise him. Why don't I raise it?"
“……”
Old Man Xu didn't know what to say.
In his opinion, the best way was naturally to kill these people.
However, if Qin Chuan didn't make a move, he wouldn't have the strength to do so.
"It's settled then!"
Qin Chuan patted Old Man Xu's shoulder as he spoke in an unquestionable tone. His body instinctively exuded an indescribable majesty.
"It's all up to you, sir…"
Old Man Xu swallowed his saliva. When he called him 'Lord,' he couldn't even utter the word 'Qin' as if he was just a subordinate.
"Open the granary and treat it as if I bought it! I'll send someone to send the silver over later!”
"I think those surrendered generals are quite capable." Qin Chuan continued. "Now, he has abandoned the dark side and is willing to serve the imperial court. I see that you don't have any general talent, so I plan to let him serve as the garrison general of Tang County to deal with the possible next batch of Yellow Turban soldiers.”
"Don't worry. After entering the city, they will be the Revolutionary Army. They won't beat, smash, rob, or burn anything. The Imperial Court naturally won't blame them.”
Using both hard and soft methods, as long as Chen Han held the military power, the entire Tang County would be firmly controlled by Qin Chuan.
It was impossible for Chen Han to betray him.
After Huang Jin was suppressed, Qin Chuan would then be free to slowly digest and manage the territories he controlled, making them impregnable.
The first territory was obtained.
Everything went smoothly.
Qin Chuan's goal was very big. He wanted to become the uncrowned king of the entire Jizhou before Huang Jin was suppressed.
"I will listen to your arrangements…"
Old Man Xu became even more polite.
The experienced him could see a terrifying ambition in Qin Chuan's words.
Let the new rebel general be the general of Tang County and let all the rebel soldiers into the city.
This was truly audacious.
Moreover, his scheme was not small.
He also knew that he would definitely be a figurehead in the future.
In a chaotic era, only the commander had the right to speak.
