"Let's discuss, let's discuss … If I support An Cui, I'd rather give all the grain in the granary to the refugees outside the city. At least the refugees could say a word of thanks. Even if they were fed to the beasts, the beasts would know how to guard their homes. What did he get for giving him Ann? That Ann Cui is a scoundrel! "
A scoundrel, a stubborn, crafty, and evil person.
From this, it could be seen that An Cui had infuriated this group of people. Otherwise, they would not have given him such a low evaluation.
Everyone was silent, but their expressions showed that they agreed with the old chief's evaluation. An Cui was truly a good-for-nothing.
For the next few days, the battle situation became more and more tense, and the aura of war once again enveloped this quiet water town that was showing signs of decline.
Everyone paid close attention to where Jiang Pengji's army was fighting. They heard that the other party was unstoppable and that the navy under her command had the help of Yang Tao and the others. They made full use of the terrain to appear and disappear unpredictably and advance at high speed. The few of them had mixed feelings. What was wrong with Yang Tao …
Did he still defeat the vassal?
Don't you have the low-key and dispirited look of a defeated vassal?
Was it normal for the frontlines to be so active?
Jiang Pengji did not care about him. Was she not afraid that he would use his personal charm to secretly take over the military power?
They realized that Yang Tao was really a magical man, and Jiang Pengji was even more of a magical woman.
Seeing that the two of them were working together without any ill feelings, someone said sarcastically.
"Tsk, Yang Zhengze wasn't forced to turn his power to Nansheng back then. He was obviously a spy sent by Liu Xi, wasn't he?"
They had every reason to believe that Yang Tao had come to Nansheng to scout for Jiang Pengji and act as the vanguard.
Just look at how the two of them were cooperating so well. Where was the previous tit-for-tat attitude?
Yang Tao and the others were familiar with the situation in Nansheng. This information was exactly what Jiang Pengji needed urgently. Just as everyone was hoping that Jiang Pengji's troops and horses would not be able to adapt to the difference in the weather between the north and the south, and that an epidemic would happen, they realized expressionlessly that the enemy was almost at their doorstep.
This group of people felt deeply aggrieved.
Most of the soldiers under Jiang Pengji's command were northerners. Even if they were trained, their swimming skills could not be compared to the soldiers of Nansheng.
Dongqing's climate was dry, while Nansheng's was hot and humid with lots of rain. With such a huge difference in climate, they should not have been acclimatized. In the end, it was another slap in the face.
Jiang Pengji's smooth sailing made them doubt the accuracy of the history books.
The talk about acclimatization and the frequent outbreaks of diseases were all fake?
Little did they know that the so-called acclimatization and diseases, other than physical differences, were more related to poor military hygiene and inadequate medical standards.
As a general in the interstellar era, how could Jiang Pengji not know this?
She had been in the army for so many years, and no matter how many soldiers she had, she had never slacked on the discipline and hygiene of the barracks.
Strict adherence to military discipline was the most important quality of elites, and camp hygiene was the foundation of the logistics of the three armies.
After nearly ten years of strict discipline, the soldiers in the tent had gotten used to it.
As long as the conditions allowed, they would pay attention.
If the conditions of war weren't good, and they couldn't even care about their lives, no one would be so picky about hygiene.
No matter how they complained, it was an indisputable fact that the enemy was about to arrive.
Similarly, there wasn't much time left for them to hesitate.
Initially, there were a few people who wanted to throw away their pride and extend an olive branch to Jiang Pengji. Once they heard that the vanguard was Yang Tao, they immediately retreated.
Hehe —
If they really surrendered, they would probably be killed by Yang Tao before they could even see the person in question. After the deed was done, Yang Tao would frame them, tarnish their reputation, and give all their family assets to Jiang Pengji. Jiang Pengji would turn a blind eye to Yang Tao's actions. If they died, they would have died in vain.
It was quite sad to think about it this way.
They couldn't surrender. That would be courting death. They also couldn't bet on An Cui. That would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog. There was no return …
After thinking about it, hmm …
It was better for them to move away with their families. They couldn't afford to offend them, but they could hide from them!
The world was so big. They didn't believe that Jiang Pengji could lead Yang Tao to conquer every inch of land!
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was harsh.
When they dragged their families to pack up their belongings and secretly moved, they were intercepted by unfamiliar troops.
The head of the family looked at Qian Su, who was leading them, with a pale face. It was as if his face had been painted white.
Qian Su smiled and cupped his hands. He greeted them in a graceful manner.
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. How have you been?"
Qian Su brought more than a thousand troops to intercept them. Most of them were cavalrymen. On the other hand, the moving troops had many carriages and horses, but most of them were old, weak, women, and children. There were only 500 guards. It was obviously unrealistic to protect the old, weak, women, and children while fending off the enemy's weapons …
"Haha … How have you been …"
Qian Su pulled the reins. The thousand troops he brought surrounded the other party.
He trembled. He finally vented his anger from being tricked. Even though he relied on Jiang Pengji's power to vent his anger, it wasn't important.
His old master, Yang Tao, didn't mind. He forgot himself on the battlefield and charged straight into the territory he used to govern. Qian Su didn't mind at all.
"Where are you going?" Qian Su asked in a gentle voice.
The head of the family watched as the guards around him were taken down before they could even fight for a few rounds. His face suddenly turned ashen.
He squeezed out two words from the root of his teeth.
"Scout! Kiss! "
Qian Su smiled. "It's a chaotic time. It's a long journey to visit your family. You've brought along your family and so much property. What will you do if you encounter bandits? If it's light, you'll lose money. If it's heavy, you'll lose both your family and your property. Considering our old friendship, why don't you let us escort you? "
The head of the family was so angry that he almost fell to the ground.
Bandits?
Haha, isn't Qian Su in front of me a standard bandit?
How dare he call a thief to stop a thief?
Qian Su suddenly stopped smiling. He raised his hand and waved his sleeves. He said coldly, "What are you all standing there for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers raised their swords. Screams and screams were heard one after another.
All the guards were executed.
The head of the family looked at the guards and servants in his residence being killed with a pale face. A chill ran from his back to the back of his head.
"What do you want to do?"
Qian Su said, "Naturally, I want to send you back to your residences. Most of the people in the wilderness are women and children. It's too dangerous without guards. "
"You're going too far!"
People without guards?
Weren't they all killed by Qian Su's order?
He was held down by two soldiers by the shoulders like a prisoner, which made him feel ashamed and humiliated.
The sword at Qian Su's waist was pressed against his neck. With just a little more force, his head would fall to the ground. He didn't dare to move.
"Going too far?" Qian Su's thin lips curled into a cold smile. He said mockingly, "The winner is king and the loser is the bandit. If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose! Whatever you did back then, I'll pay you back. You relied on An Cui's power. Why can't I rely on Liu Xi's power? A loss is a loss. Don't say such pompous words. If you have the energy to bark like a dog, why don't you think about how to deal with the aftermath of your family? "
"You dare?"
Qian Su laughed coldly in his ear.
"Why not?"
