As the old man knelt, the hundreds of people behind him also knelt on the ground, begging.
Each of them was sallow and emaciated, and their skin had an unhealthy color to it. It was as if they would faint if they said two more words.
The audience in the streaming room could not bear to see this. They could not help but send bullet screens to advise Jiang Pengji to stop putting on a show and quickly accept these people.
Yiyibiao: "Streamer, they look so pitiful." Didn't you say that the common people are like duckweed in troubled times? They're begging you so much, just accept them. Anyway, this is also one of your plans. It's not good to let them kneel.
Jiageng Yizhang: "Tsk, that's why I said the streamer's heart is really dirty. It's obvious that she covets Jiaoping District. She secretly instigated people to kill the Tsing Yi Army who stayed behind and begged her to accept Jiaoping District … Tsk tsk, she gets all the good things. Is there any justice?"
Wuwu to Wuqi: "This scene reminds me of a TV series I used to watch." The situation was similar. The refugees were begging the protagonist. At that time, he felt that it was a little funny. After all, the extras didn't act well. The refugees didn't look like refugees, nor did they look like they were begging. It was more like they were watching the protagonist's monkey show, which made people feel awkward. Looking at this scene, to be honest, I felt that I needed to calm down and calm down.
Qitian Shuangbi: "You guys are thinking too much. Is the streamer the kind of person who likes to put on airs?
The facts proved that Jiang Pengji was not. At least she would not make the people kneel on the ground and kowtow until their heads were broken.
"All of you, stand up and speak. If you have any grievances, feel free to speak up. If I, Liu Xi, can help everyone settle it, I will definitely not refuse." Jiang Pengji dismounted from the horse and helped the few people who were kneeling in front of her up. "It's deep in the night and the ground is moist. Get up and talk."
The leading old man had a high EQ. Naturally, he wouldn't kneel on the ground and say things like "If you don't listen to us, we won't get up". This wasn't begging for mercy, it was another form of blackmail. So when Jiang Pengji helped him up, he stood up.
This old man was quite prestigious in Jiaoping District. When the other commoners saw that he had gotten up, they helped each other up from the ground.
The old man bowed again and said, "Magistrate Liu, where are you preparing to go with your troops?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I heard that Cheng 'an, Jiaoping, and Maolin districts are plagued by bandits from the Tsing Yi army. The people have no way of making a living, so I came over to clear them out. The members of the Tsing Yi Army in Chengan District have all been killed. They originally wanted to reorganize in peace. Not long ago, they heard that the Tsing Yi Army in Jiaoping District had gathered their troops and horses and left in full strength. They did not know what their purpose was. That's why I brought some troops over to check out the situation. "
The old man was overjoyed. His eyes brimmed with tears as he said excitedly, "What a coincidence. Magistrate Liu didn't know that the bandits in black had indeed left Jiaoping District, leaving only about a thousand people to guard the county. I've heard that Magistrate Liu is noble and righteous. He led the villagers to get rid of the evil bandits in green. I'm about to rush to Chengan District to look for Magistrate Liu. If those evil bandits find out about this, I'm afraid they won't let the people of the city go. "
Jiang Pengji seemed to have finally understood.
"Is it because of this that the old man asked me?" Jiang Pengji asked.
The old man raised his hand to wipe the hot tears from the corners of his eyes. He said, "Exactly … I only hope that Magistrate Liu is benevolent and righteous. He can protect the innocent people of Jiaoping District so that they won't be harassed by the evil bandits in green. If the county magistrate agrees, this old man can die in peace. "
Jiang Pengji looked hesitant. The old man's heart was in his throat. Not long after, her eyes became very determined.
"Since the villagers love me so much, how can I let you down?" Jiang Pengji said.
When the old man heard the good news, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. His pale face was flushed.
Life is like a drama. It all depends on one's acting skills.
Watching his lord's perfect performance, even a shameless person like Qiguan Rang was secretly ashamed of her.
His lord was so shameless that he could rest assured.
In fact, it was not that the old man did not suspect Jiang Pengji's identity. However, she had a noble and noble demeanor. Her face was handsome and upright. The troops behind her were strong and powerful. The clothes that the troops wore were clean and tidy. Their vital parts were covered with leather armor. The weapons they carried were of superior quality.
The old man was not ignorant. Just by looking at the lineup, he believed 80% of it.
He tested Jiang Pengji's attitude toward Jiaoping District. He saw that she truly pitied the suffering of the people. She spoke eloquently about various methods of disaster relief and saving the people. He thought that the standard of the son of a top aristocratic family was only as good as hers. The old man could not pick out any mistakes. The more he talked, the more satisfied he was.
The old man was a rare intellectual and cultured person in Jiaoping District. He was a good teacher.
Some children from poor families came to him to study. He would also reduce or exempt their tuition fees at his discretion. He had a very good heart.
He acknowledged that Jiang Pengji was the legendary young district magistrate Liu who could create miracles and loved the people like his own children. The other people also believed her with relief.
Qiguan Rang led them into the city. Looking at the open city gate of Jiaoping District, he fanned himself with his feather fan.
His lord was too capable. He always felt that as a counselor, he was facing the dilemma of being laid off and unemployed.
They welcomed him all the way to the district headquarters of Jiaoping District.
The place had already been occupied by the people. The Tsing Yi Army could also capture and kill them.
Jiang Pengji sat calmly on the seat of honor.
General Pingtian of Jiaoping District did not expect that the owner of the nest had already changed hands after they left for just half a day.
Outside, the morning light was slightly intoxicating.
So far, out of the four districts of Fengyi County, three districts were already in her hands.
Maolin District would probably be hers soon.
Liyun, Xu Ke, and the others really did not disappoint Jiang Pengji's high expectations. They took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on Maolin District and broke through the city gate.
The defense of Maolin District was even weaker than that of Jiaoping District. There were only two or three guards on the city gate.
Liyun drew his bow and nocked an arrow under the city gate. He shot through the guards on the city wall.
With a good start, the morale was greatly boosted.
In comparison, Maolin District did not even manage to form a decent attack. The resistance was even weaker and insignificant.
The battle was like a hot knife through butter.
Using the ladder to climb up the city wall, Liyun took the lead and rushed to the front. Wherever his silver spear passed, the enemy's corpses were strewn on the spot.
Xu Ke was well versed in the ways to strike the local morale. Perhaps it could be said that he had become shameless after hanging out with Jiang Pengji for a long time. He ordered the troops to attack forcefully while shouting loudly, "The Tsing Yi Army's destiny is near. The entire army is defeated and fleeing."
During this period, reinforcements arrived one after another. However, faced with the tyrannical siege chariots, improved crossbows, and ballistae, the Tsing Yi Army charged in batches and died in batches. In addition, the words shouted by the troops caused the Tsing Yi Army's morale to hit rock bottom. They no longer had the will to fight.
The Tsing Yi Army was just a motley crew. They had lost their backbone and their morale was low. The number of Tsing Yi Army in Maolin District was pitifully small. The combat power that they could exert as a whole was even more pitiful. In just half a day, they had already occupied the entire Maolin District.
Compared to the crisis in Xiangyang District, the sneak attack and siege battle in Jiaoping District and Maolin District was like a small game.
