Ceng Cheng led his men and quickly caught up with Du Qi's group.
When he saw Du Qi, he reported, "Young Master, as soon as the news of you leaving with your men came out, someone arranged for an assassin to kill me. I captured the assassin and found out his identity after interrogating him. "
"The ones who hired the assassin were from the Duan and Xin families in the city."
"Those two families are big clans in Yongye County."
"Although they can't compare to the big clans that have surrendered, they're not weak either. That's because all the land has been confiscated by the government. They were also affected, so they tried to kill me first before rebelling and cutting off your escape route. "
Ceng Cheng said, "I've already dealt with those people. Yongye County has been completely stabilized and there's nothing to worry about. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "That's good."
Ceng Cheng looked expectant and said, "Young Master, you don't have to go personally to attack Pandu County. Why don't you stay in Yongye County and monitor the situation? After all, Yongye County is quite safe here. "
Du Qi said, "No need."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Ceng Cheng, I don't care about the process of your interrogation. I only want the result. I only want Yongye County to be stabilized. You'll be in charge of the food and resources for the attack on Pandu County. Pandu County is close at hand and Songyang County is not far away. I hope you can do your job well. "
Ceng Cheng was excited when he heard that.
Do my job well?
What did that mean?
In other words, if he did a good job, his future promotion was just around the corner.
This was a great opportunity.
Ceng Cheng hurriedly nodded and promised, "Don't worry, Young Master. I'll do my best to develop and govern Yongye County well. Apart from that, I'll also prepare all the food and money needed by the army. I won't delay it at all. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
Ceng Cheng said, "I won't send you off. I wish you success in your trip to Pandu County."
Du Qi nodded.
Ceng Cheng turned around and left.
Du Qi, who was leading the army, ordered Mordor to speed up slightly and return to their normal speed. Previously, in order to take care of the situation in Yongye County, he didn't rush and only took his time.
Now that everything in Yongye County had been restored, they could travel at full speed.
The army sped up.
They rushed all the way, and when it was close to noon, they stopped temporarily to rest.
The soldiers were all eating rations.
When marching to war, if one had to cook alone at noon, it would be fine if there were fewer people. If there were too many people, they would have to cook lunch, which would be a waste of time. Therefore, it was best to eat dry food.
It was only at night when the troops were stationed to rest and reorganize that they could start cooking.
When Du Qi was eating, Luo Binwang came.
Luo Binwang said while eating: "Young Master, I have a question."
Du Qi said, "Just say it."
Luo Binwang said, "Zeng Cheng is a very selfish person, and he only surrendered midway. Especially in the past, he was once our enemy. Although he surrendered to you because of your strength, Young Master. However, if you encounter any situation, Zeng Cheng might betray you. Why do you entrust such a person with such an important task? Why don't you even remove him from his position? "
Previously, Luo Binwang had trusted Zeng Cheng wholeheartedly and even made many promises to Zeng Cheng.
However, with Du Qi, Luo Binwang would always be loyal to Du Qi.
Du Qi's interests were the priority.
This was the bottom line that Luo Binwang set for himself.
Therefore, in front of Du Qi, Luo Binwang proposed his idea.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Right now, we don't have many people of our own in the land of the Great Qin. If we don't rely on the locals, where else can we rely on? Also, a person like Zeng Cheng is actually easier to use. "
"The reason is simple. He is a smart person."
"He knows how to seek fortune and avoid disaster."
"If we are strong, he will follow us wholeheartedly and serve us wholeheartedly without any disloyalty. It is actually easier to use such a person. "
Du Qi continued, "Moreover, the way to use people is not necessarily one that is wholeheartedly loyal. Even if he is disloyal, he can still be used as long as he can grasp it. "
After hearing this, Luo Binwang seemed to be deep in thought.
These principles were simple.
However, when it came to actual operation, it might not be easy or simple. At that moment, Luo Binwang had doubts in his heart, which was why he asked this question.
Du Qi looked at Luo Binwang's thoughtful expression and smiled lightly.
During this period of time, he had been intentionally nurturing Luo Binwang.
Of course, Luo Binwang was also smart.
Therefore, Du Qi patiently answered Luo Binwang's question.
Du Qi did not say anything else and continued on with the army. When Du Qi's army continued on their way to Pan Du Province, the news had already spread to Pan Du Province.
The person who now occupied Pan Du Province was called Bennett.
He used to be the Governor of Songyang County.
He was Nicholas Tu's advisor and was also the Governor. He was the second-in-command of Songyang County.
After the death of Nicholas Butcher, Banelo took control of Pandu County. On the surface, he gathered an army and formed his own team under the banner of taking revenge for Nicholas Tu. However, in reality, he had no intention of taking revenge.
Even Nicholas Tu was no match for Du Qi. If he was going to die, what was he going to do?
Was he going to die as well?
Bennett's idea was very simple. He wanted to take control of a small place like Pan Du Province. That was enough.
As for anything else, he did not think about it.
However, even so, Bennett arranged for people to keep an eye on the situation in Fushan County and Yongye County.
After Bennelu learned that Yongye County had submitted to Du Qi, Bennelu started to panic. The reason was simple. Since Du Qi had taken over Yongye County, he could not stay there forever.
Therefore, Benito had always been prepared.
He had to prepare for a battle.
Now, when Bennet received the news that Du Qi had led a group of people to Pan Du County, he couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately arranged for someone to invite the county captain over.
The current county governor was called Wang Jian.
He had the same surname as the Great Qin imperial family.
However, Wang Jian was only from Pan Du Province. He had read some books and practiced martial arts. In the past, when Nigutu was still alive, it was through Bennelu's recommendation that Wang Jian was appointed by Nigutu as the county magistrate.
Wang Jian and Bennett had a good relationship. Therefore, after Nicholas Tu died, Bennett gained Wang Jian's support and usurped power. He took over the position of county governor.
Not long after, Wang Jian hurried in.
Wang Jian's expression was serious.
That was because he had also heard that Du Qi had led a group of people to Pan Du Province.
After Wang Jian sat down, he said, "County Governor, Du Qi has led a group of people to attack us. How should we deal with this? "
Bennett said: "Old Wang, I asked you to come here for this matter. Our forces are not weak now. We still have about six thousand people. Do you think we should go and stop Du Qi, or stay in the county town and wait for Du Qi to come? We'll attack Du Qi and defend with all our strength. "
