Therefore, it was used to prohibit most of them from leading from Dangli, Luxiang and other places to Beihai Country, passing through Beihai territory, and then directly entering the south of Donglai.
With lightning speed, they would exterminate the bandits in the south. They would advance eastward and finally destroy the eastern side, completely eliminating the bandits.
That was how the previous incident happened.
Yu Jin and Cang Ba traveled south by night and soon entered Beihai Kingdom and passed through it quickly.
When they reached Jieting in the south of Donglai, the army split into two. Yu Jin led his troops eastward to support Buqi City, while Zang Ba supported Qian Zou City.
The two armies of soldiers had descended from the sky, catching the bandits of the two places off guard. At the same time, they had also caught the aristocratic families, county magistrates, and county captains of the two cities off guard.
Neither side had expected the soldiers allocated by the prefect to arrive so quickly.
As a result, the Mountain Bandits were eliminated, and Yu Jin and Zang Ba took over the military power of the two cities.
After taking control of the two cities, the army quickly headed north and wiped out the bandits along the way. Soon, they reached Changguang City and pacified the entire south.
Once the south was pacified, the army continued to advance eastward with Guo Jia and the others towards Chang Yang.
News of the southern region's situation was not undisclosed. The aristocratic families of the southern region quickly sent the news to the northern prefecture.
When Shi Qian and the others heard this, they were dumbfounded.
He did not expect Xu Tian to sneak into the south through Beihai Kingdom and instantly wipe out the bandits in the south.
"What do we do now? Was he going to watch Xu Tian wipe out all the bandits in Donglai and then get a good reputation for his stability, good management, and meritorious service in quelling the chaos?”Shi Qian asked the Patriarchs present.
The various clan heads were silent, but their expressions were clearly not good.
If Xu Tian really succeeded, then it would not be a good thing for a prefect who was not close to them.
" Everyone, there's no time. If we don't make a decision now, there will be chaos. Once the east is pacified, Xu Tian's army will return to the prefecture. At that time, we won't have a chance to make a move. Don't hesitate. It's time for us to show our decisiveness. Otherwise, we'll never get the snowflake paper manufacturing technology."”Shi Qian started to fan the flames.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. When they thought of the profits brought by the snowflake paper, their hearts burned with greed.
"Alright!" He gritted his teeth and nodded. Let's do it then, but don't go too far in the prefecture. After all, this is our foundation. We don't want to lose more than we gain.”
Shi Qian wanted to invite the bandits into the city and make a big deal out of it. It was nothing more than killing and setting fire. As long as they did not kill, burn, and rob their own homes, who cared about the death of some nobodies!
After the discussion, Shi Qian immediately sent people out of the city to contact the bandits who had been lying in ambush at Yangqiu Mountain.
At that time, as long as the aristocratic children guarding the city opened the gate, the prefecture would be broken. At that time, even if Xu Tian had wiped out the bandits in the east and south, he would lose the prefecture and lose thousands of people. His achievements would instantly be in vain.
Most importantly, his snowflake paper technique was gone.
The prefect's manor!
Not many people knew that Xu Tianyiran had quietly returned to the city.
"Bo Kang, just as you guessed, Shi Qian and the various families of Huang County secretly discussed a plan. They were prepared to let the Green-faced Tiger into the city. Then, they would attack the paper mill and divide the Xu family's paper craftsmen and skills. In the end, they would set a fire in the city and burn down the poor gathering place in the western part of the city.”Wang Fu told him everything he had heard.
Hearing this, Xu Tian and the others 'faces turned ashen. They clenched their fists and made cracking sounds.
"What a ruthless person. In their eyes, there is only profit. As long as there is enough profit, anything can be done.”Xu Tian was a little angry, and his killing intent flowed out of his body unnaturally. However, he immediately smiled at Wang Fu and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, Zi Fu. However, I will still have to trouble you to continue to monitor Shi Qian and those aristocratic families.”
"Don't worry, Bokang. We can't do anything else, but we're still confident in watching over these people blinded by greed."”
If he was not afraid of affecting Xu Tian's plan, Wang Fu felt that he would have killed Shi Qian and the others.
He also felt disgusted and abhorred by these beasts who treated human lives like grass.
Midsummer night came late. The moon and stars were in the sky, so the line of sight was still good. However, Huang County still entered silence early as usual.
Ordinary people slept on the mattresses.
The unusual families were waiting for a certain moment to arrive. They had locked the doors, and behind the front yard were armed guards, all of whom had vigilant expressions.
Suddenly, the southern city gate creaked. The heavy gate was pushed open by half, and then a torch lit up under the city hole, waving it three times.
Soon, a group of two thousand men arrived at the south gate.
"Boss! There was no one at the city gate, and the guards were gone!”
"Haha! Once they entered the city, they would be able to rob freely again tonight.”The leader of this group was nicknamed the Green-faced Tiger. There was a green scar on his face, and his smile was particularly ferocious.
Smiling, Green-faced Tiger did not forget to remind him,"Remember, don't touch the big families in the city with red cloth hanging on them. Also, take down the prefect's mansion first. There's a lot of money and grain in the mansion, don't leave anything behind. Oh right, finally, rob that old paper mill.”
"It's Boss! Just you wait, this time we will definitely get our share!”His subordinates all expressed that they understood.
The Green-faced Tiger waved his hand, and the large group entered the city.
"Hehe! Those guys had all been swept away by the new prefect. After robbing the money and food today, they could recruit several times more people. In the future, Donglai Laozi would be the most powerful.”Touching it, the Green-faced Tiger leisurely urged his horse into the city, looking forward to the future.
However, not long after they walked, someone in front reported,"Boss, it's bad. We can't take down the prefect's mansion, and many of our brothers have died!”
"If you can't take it down, then attack forcefully. You can ignore the other places for now, but you have to kill your way in here.”
The Green-faced Tiger was furious when he heard that the Governor's Mansion could not be taken down.
What kind of place was the prefect's manor? It was the place where the entire county's money and grain were stored.
Taking down this place was basically equivalent to snatching something.
How much money could a peasant have? Even if they robbed the entire city, they wouldn't be able to get anything.
"Yes, Boss!"
His subordinates gathered their forces to attack the prefect's manor. Green-faced Tiger also led his men over. As expected, the gates of the prefect's manor were tightly shut. The Han soldiers on the walls of the manor fired their bows and crossbows. A group of people who rushed up were instantly killed.
The Green-faced Tiger frowned and roared,""Let's go to the back door. I don't believe that the back door has such a strong defense.”
According to Shi Qian's information, there were not many people from Xu Tian's side in the city, and there were even fewer people guarding the prefect's manor.
Very soon, the back door reported,"Boss, we can't get in through the back door either. We can't get close to the door at all!"”
The Green-faced Tiger glanced at the Mayor's Mansion, which was guarding the mansion, and said,"Damn it! Someone find something to climb over the wall. At the same time, light a fire for me. Use fire to attack and burn the gate and tower first.”
"Yes, Boss!"
"My lord! The bandits started to climb over the wall and were ready to set fire to the door.”
Xu Tian's face was cold. Under the illumination of the torch, he looked especially dignified. He said," In that case, let's open the gate and show the bandits what it means to be unstoppable and invincible. We will show them what it means to be invincible in an army!”
"Yes, my lord!"
Just as the Green-faced Tiger was about to set the fire, the door of the prefect's manor suddenly opened.
Green-faced Tiger and the others were instantly overjoyed. They thought that the fire attack had worked and the people inside were ready to come out and surrender.
"Kill your way in. The guards inside can't hold on any longer.”Licking his lips, Green-faced Tiger raised his saber and shouted,""Whoever kills their way in first will be rewarded with a hundred gold and two women!”
"Kill!" When they heard that there was money and women, the vicious criminals shouted and charged forward with their weapons.
However, the guards of the Han army that charged out from the prefect's mansion were even more ferocious. The one leading them was Dian Wei, who wielded his halberds. He waved his halberds left and right and hacked at the bandits that came forward.
Then, he charged into the enemy's team and slashed left and right.
Screams of pain rang out in an instant.
