Many members of the Tsing Yi Army were hacked or hammered to death in their sleep. Some were lucky enough not to be beaten to death. They were just tied up with ropes and stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from making any noise and waking up the other members of the Tsing Yi Army.
In the beginning, these people were still anxious and uneasy. They only had some courage when they acted with people they were familiar with.
However, after one or two times, they saw that the beasts who once bullied them were no longer angry. The little fear in their hearts dissipated.
Just as they saw, the members of the Tsing Yi Army were not made of copper and iron. They would still die if their heads were chopped off.
This "rebellion plot" lasted for a whole hour. The heavy night sky gradually faded, and there were a few more traces of green and white.
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and sat in the grass. Her back was straight, her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes were closed.
Others thought she was closing her eyes to take a nap, but in fact, she was sleeping.
Yes, she was sleeping.
Qiguan Rang looked at his lord in amazement. She had maintained this sleeping position for more than two hours!
"What are you surprised about?" Jiang Pengji suddenly opened her eyes and said calmly, "As a qualified general, you should develop this habit. No matter what environment you are in, you should be able to fall asleep quickly and conserve your energy … Don't make a fuss about nothing."
She woke up and slept as she pleased.
Jiang Pengji looked up at the sky and frowned slightly. "Is there still no movement in Jiaoping District?"
Qiguan Rang said, "I've already sent scouts to gather information. They should be back soon."
At that moment, Jiang Pengji glanced at the city wall in the distance. The guards who should have been standing on it had disappeared.
She said, "It should be about time … Let's put on an act until the end. Let's retreat for a distance before coming back."
Qiguan Rang was startled.
Jiang Pengji said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, when people leave the city and see a group of us rubbing our hands together, won't they know that there's something fishy going on? They offered the city, and we 'passively' took it over. Jiaoping District was not seized by us, understand? "
It was seized, and others rushed to deliver it. The two sounded different.
Qiguan Rang almost choked. Why didn't he know that his lord had such a shameless side to her?
Thinking of something, Qiguan Rang said, "If that's the case, there won't be a chance for the lord to display his skills."
Jiaoping District was conquered without bloodshed, and it was because the others had rushed to help. Naturally, Jiang Pengji did not have to charge and break through enemy lines.
She said, "Look at what you're saying. It's as if I'm a bloody warrior. People would die in war. Even if it was an overwhelming victory, it was hard to guarantee that there would be no casualties. It would be best if they could take over Jiaoping District peacefully. Why are you fighting? You're harming the harmony of the world. "
Jiang Pengji spoke righteously. Not only did Qiguan Rang think she was shameless, but the audience who stayed up late to watch the livestream also ridiculed her.
Yuantong Courier: "Hehe, the biggest joke of the year — the host is a pacifist."
Zhongtong Express Post: "I think there's nothing wrong with the host's words. The enemy's life is not life, but the life of one's family is different."
Shentong Express: "Sigh, the streamer must have forgotten how much she wanted to fight on the battlefield. I could feel the resentment emanating from her even through the screen." Now, he turned around and said that he was a pacifist. Didn't he feel ashamed?
In fact, Jiang Pengji was indeed a "pacifist," but her peace was to stop killing by killing.
She killed the enemy. She did not care how many enemies died, but she would avoid unnecessary losses on her side if possible.
Before Qiguan Rang could speak, Jiang Pengji said, "According to the time and distance, after we take over Jiaoping District, if we take shortcuts, we can rush back to Xiangyang District and attack the rear of the Tsing Yi Army … I'm worried that we can't defend Xiangyang District …"
After taking over Jiaoping District without bloodshed, the loss of troops on Jiang Pengji's side was almost zero.
The biggest advantage of taking over peacefully was that she did not need to spend time to appease the people. She could even temporarily recruit a group of people to help defend Jiaoping District. She could bring a thousand troops to aid Xiangyang District. This was the fastest way she could think of.
Qiguan Rang frowned and asked, "How can this be? 4,000 troops are indeed tight, but Huaiyu and Coach Luoyue are not easy to deal with. The defense in the city is perfect. It's almost impossible for a motley crew like the Tsing Yi Army to take over Xiangyang District … "
"You said it's almost impossible, not 'absolutely'." Jiang Pengji's face darkened as she said, "Wen Zheng, do you still remember when I left Hejian and followed my father to Shangjing? Why did I entrust the troops to you to take care of them? "
Qiguan Rang did not understand. He carefully recalled the memory of that time and suddenly thought of something. His expression changed slightly.
"My lord, you mean … Lady Taxue …" Qiguan Rang was stunned.
That year, Jiang Pengji sneaked into Wei Yuan's residence late at night and entrusted the trifling matters of the troops to Qiguan Rang. Between her words, she hinted that there was a dirty person around her.
At that time, Qiguan Rang did not know who she was until she left Xunmei behind and took Taxue away.
According to his understanding of Jiang Pengji, the more dangerous something was, the more she liked to keep an eye on it.
Later, when Xu Ke married Xunmei, Qiguan Rang was even more certain of his guess.
"My lord is really muddle-headed. Since you're sure that there's something wrong with Taxue, why don't you …" Qiguan Rang looked anxious.
Taxue's identity had yet to be revealed. If she did something in Xiangyang District, it would be hard to guard against it.
Jiang Pengji raised her eyes lazily and said, "Wen Zheng, don't worry. Although I'm a little risky, I'm not fooling around. There's something wrong with Taxue, and it's a big problem. Do you understand that she has more than one master behind her back? After so many years, I've found out about one of them, but I've never had a clue about the other. It's better to keep her by my side than to plot in the dark. "
"But if she takes advantage of this crisis and lets the Tsing Yi Army enter the city …"
"She won't do that." Jiang Pengji sneered and said with absolute certainty, "Before achieving a certain goal, she won't do anything to hurt me. Perhaps, more than anyone else, she hopes that I can gain a foothold in the north. "
Qiguan Rang was speechless. His intelligent brain felt inadequate.
Suddenly, he said irritably, "Isn't Lady Taxue the personal maid that the old master prepared for you? How could she be taken advantage of?"
Jiang Pengji said meaningfully, "Yes, my father prepared her, but she can't handle her long hands …"
If she told Qiguan Rang that there was something wrong with Xunmei, he would probably go crazy.
What kind of luck does my father have? There's something wrong with the two people he arranged. Tsk!
As they were talking, the tightly shut city gate of Jiaoping District opened. A group of more than a hundred people sneaked out of the city before dawn.
About half an hour later, the two groups of people met on the way.
The people were trembling with fear. Jiang Pengji looked solemn and reported her origins in a low voice.
"I'm the district magistrate of Xiangyang District, Liu Xi. Who are you and where are you from?"
Liu Xi?
The district magistrate of Xiangyang District?
The people were in an uproar and they discussed animatedly.
At that moment, a rather old leader slowly stepped out of the ranks and bowed with his hands folded in front. "We are the people of Jiaoping District."
"The people of Jiaoping District? Why are you here? "
