Du Qi nodded and said, "Since you already know, you should know. Jiuquan County is actually a bit empty right now. We don't have enough soldiers. Once there's chaos, can you stabilize the situation? "
Ye Daosheng's face changed abruptly after hearing that.
He only thought of Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi leading the troops to fight Shen Biao, but he forgot that the county was empty and weak. Once there was a sudden attack, the county's forces would be weak and hard to resist.
Ye Daosheng panicked at first, but when he saw Du Qi was here, and Du Qi was so calm, Ye Daosheng also calmed down. He said, "Your Highness, I panicked for a moment. Please tell me what to do."
Du Qi said, "I don't know how many of Jiang Zhengdao's remaining forces are, but I guess there are some hidden forces that you don't know about. So there are two possibilities if these people want to attack. "
"First, attack the county government."
"Second, attack Ping Xi Wang Mansion."
"Of course, it's also possible to attack one of them and then lead the other side to support them, and then ambush them halfway. But no matter what, I think even if there's chaos in Jiuquan County, there won't be too many soldiers. "
"Three to five hundred is already the limit."
Du Qi said with assurance, "So what you need to do is to arrange the county government well. Once there's an attack, defend it with all your strength. As for my safety, you don't need to worry about it. Even if there's chaos, you don't need to come to my aid. If there's chaos here, I can solve it. As for your county yamen, can you defend it? "
Ye Daosheng was silent for a while after hearing that. Then he suddenly said, "Your Highness, if there's chaos in the county, I can defend it with only three to five hundred people. When I return to the county government, I'll secretly mobilize reliable forces and quietly ambush around the county government to deal with the possible chaos. I promise I'll finish the task. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "It's good that you have this confidence."
Ye Daosheng said, "Your Highness, but what if there's an attack outside the county? What if there are bandits?"
Du Qi explained, "First, the situation of the bandits in Jiuquan County is under our control. These bandits didn't make any movements, so it was unlikely that they would attack. Even if they come to attack, the defense of Jiuquan County will be enough to delay them. "
"Secondly, Xiao Yuan Qi and Xue Rengui can lead the army to fight. Once the enemy attacks, they can come back at any time. The distance between Jiuquan and Jinshan is not very far, so you don't need to worry. "
Du Qi said, "So your task is very simple. You are in charge of defense."
Ye Daosheng was relieved after hearing this.
He nodded and said, "Your Highness, please be at ease. This lowly one promises to complete the mission. I originally thought that Your Highness only wanted to encircle Jin Shan, but I didn't expect Your Highness to kill two birds with one stone. On one hand, you want to encircle the Jin Mountain Bandits, on the other hand, you want to attract Jiang Zhengdao's remaining forces. "
Du Qi said, "I'm glad you understand."
Ye Daosheng said, "Your Highness, I will go back and make the arrangements."
"Go!"
Du Qi waved his hand.
Ye Daosheng stood up and bowed, then hurriedly left.
After Ye Daosheng left, Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and said, "Mr. Liu, you arrange the defense of the Prince's Mansion. When Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuan Qi finish the battle of Jinshan, we will have a battle here. "
"Yes!"
Ye Daosheng went to make the arrangements right away.
…
In the West City of Jiuquan County.
The area in the West City was not barren, but it was not a prominent place either.
In the hall of a secluded house.
There were more than ten people there.
Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. His name was Ba-Tu, a local of Jiuquan County. He used to be a shopkeeper under Jiang Zhengdao. When Ye Daosheng killed Jiang Zhengdao's subordinates, Ba-Tu was out on business, so he was not in Jiuquan County. That was why he escaped the disaster.
There were more than ten people below Ba-Tu, some in their early thirties, some in their early forties, and the oldest in his early fifties. These people gathered together.
Among these people, some were businessmen, some were village elders, and some were spies arranged by Jiang Zhengdao.
They were all people who escaped the disaster.
During this time, Ba-Tu and the others were hiding in the county, quietly accumulating strength, and did not take any action. It was because Du Qi's army was very strong, with more than a thousand people, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Ba-Tu looked around and said, "Everyone, I just got the news that Du Qi's army has left the county and gone to Jinshan. Du Qi's army is out, so Jiuquan County is weak. This is our chance to take revenge and dominate Jiuquan County again. "
"When County Magistrate Jiang was here, we could get whatever we wanted. We didn't have to worry about food and clothes, and we could eat and drink well. In the whole Jiuquan County, no one dared to provoke us. "
"But now, we are hated by everyone."
"Our situation is not good."
Ba-Tu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "All this was caused by Du Qi, the Pacifying West King, and also by Ye Daosheng, the traitor. So, whether it's Du Qi or Ye Daosheng, they must be eliminated. "
"We must take revenge."
"We must avenge County Magistrate Jiang."
"At the same time, we must take back everything that belongs to us, and kill Du Qi in Jiuquan County."
Ba-Tu gritted his teeth and said loudly, "In order to restore our former glory, in order to live in Jiuquan County again, we will fight with everything we have."
His words were very bewitching.
He was encouraging people.
Those who used to be Jiang Zhengdao's subordinates were all excited. Because after they took down Du Qi and killed the traitor, Ye Daosheng, they could dominate Jiuquan County again.
This was their chance.
Everyone began to shout. Their voices were filled with the desire to take revenge. Their shouts echoed in the room.
Seeing this, Ba-Tu smiled.
This was the army's morale.
As long as they were willing to work with him, it was very possible for him to overthrow Du Qi and Ye Daosheng.
Ba-Tu didn't stop them from shouting, and let them shout. After quite a long time, when no one was shouting or opening their mouths, the hall became quiet again. Then Bahtu said with a stern countenance, "Gentlemen, our main target for this revenge is Du Qi."
"Because Du Qi is Ye Daosheng's umbrella. As long as Du Qi is killed, everything will be in order. So, the current arrangement is that I will lead the team. We will lead 300 elites to attack Du Qi's Pacifying West King Mansion. "
"In addition, we have 200 elites, who will lie in ambush on the way from the county government to Pacifying West King Mansion. Once the news of Du Qi being ambushed gets out, Ye Daosheng will have to rely on these 200 elites to stop and annihilate the enemy, and then counterattack the county government. "
Ba-Tu said, "This is the general plan. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Everyone shook their heads.
Ba-Tu said, "Since there are no objections, let's move. Zhou Chong will be the leader of the ambush. And I will lead the team on this journey. "
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison again.
"Let's go!"
After Ba-Tu arranged everything, he immediately gave the order.
The 300 people led by Ba-Tu were all elites, and each of them was in their early twenties. There were no weak people in their forties or fifties, nor were there children in their teens.
This time, he didn't hide his movement. He went to war in a grandiose manner, heading straight for Pacifying West King Mansion in the southern part of the city.
