Chapter 362 The inevitable victory
Yang Qianshan and other self-defense army commanders walked around the school captain's mansion. There was no one in the huge courtyard, and some blood stains could still be seen faintly on the ground.
This happened as soon as the general arrived, maybe it had something to do with him.
Thinking about it, Yang Qianshan and others went to Jian Bai's residence. The door was not closed, and a few people saw the captain and others who were tied up by Wu Huada at a glance.
At this time, the captain was dying due to excessive bleeding. Seeing Yang Qianshan and others coming, he raised his head and wanted to say something, as if asking for mercy, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
Thinking of what happened at the school captain's house last night, and seeing that the school captain was now in Jianbai's courtyard, Yang Qianshan tried hard to connect the two things.
Could it be that the general went to the captain's mansion last night and caused that scene?
How is this possible? How could that loud noise and that light be made by humans?
But why is the captain in the general's yard?
Before he could think too much, Liu Hezhi came out to greet him.
"Counsel Liu, I have gathered a thousand elites from the county, and there are another thousand people who will be transferred from elsewhere. But they will all come within two days."
Yang Qianshan bowed. He treated the people around the general with full respect.
"It's best this way. The general took care of the captain and others last night, so we can go on the expedition without worries. Come on, I'll take you to get the armor."
The captain's thousand armors and weapons were locked in the warehouse. Liu Hezhi chose someone to lead the way.
Perhaps it was because the people around the captain had been cleared away, so this trip went very smoothly.
It was not until noon that Jianbai woke up and dragged the school captain and others to the door of the Yamen.
After a whole morning of torture and extortion of confessions, these people are no longer human beings. They have said everything they should and should not be punished.
This yamen has been abandoned for many years and is already in disrepair.
Many people noticed what was going on here and came to watch.
"Is the one who is tied up the school captain?"
"That's him. I know the man next to him. He's the captain's personal guard. He used to be drunk and murderous on the street."
"This group of beasts is here today."
"Where did these people come from, and why did they dare to attack the captain? Also, what happened at the county magistrate's house last night?"
"I heard from my brother that this man is a general sent by the imperial court to help us fight the barbarians."
"Is this true? Over the years, the imperial court has never cared about our lives."
"Why are you lying to me? My brother is a member of the Self-Defense Forces. Last night, Yang Qianshan came to our door and said that a general has arrived and will lead us to fight against the barbarians and prepare us for war."
"I also heard that he will take us on an expedition in two days."
Everyone was talking to each other, and Jian Bai's affairs spread rapidly among the crowd.
At the same time, more and more people gathered here, almost blocking the entire street.
Seeing that it was almost brewing, Jian Bai said with a voice mixed with internal strength:
"Dear fellow villagers, I am the Chariot and Cavalry General Jian Bai. From now on, all the troops in Yantian County will be under my command. The school captain raped the common people, oppressed the people, and assisted in killing. The evidence of the crime is solid, and he should be executed!"
After the words fell, the sword also fell. The captain's head fell to the ground, but there was a bit of relief in his eyes.
After a night and a morning of torture, death didn't seem so scary to him.
When everyone saw this, they all became quiet.
"Teng Jiang once killed innocent people indiscriminately and robbed people of their money..."
The sentences were announced one after another, and everyone's head fell to the ground.
Blood was spilled on the streets, but no one in Wanrong County was afraid. On the contrary, they couldn't help but applaud.
"The imperial court has been unable to mobilize troops over the past few years, which has made you suffer. I, Jianbai, swear here that as long as I don't die, I will never let those barbarians step across the northern border again."
Jian Bai's eyes swept across the ragged people, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
As long as he can repel the barbarians, the people of Yantian County will all be his.
And Jian Bai's words also ignited hope in the eyes of the people.
For so many years, although they have been resisting, there is no hope.
The barbarians are powerful and the court does not help them. They may become food at any time.
Although they didn't know whether Jian Bai could lead them to victory, it was still more possible.
"Thank you, General!"
An old man took the lead to break the silence, knelt down tremblingly, and kowtowed.
"Thank you, General."
Seeing this, the others knelt down one after another.
Jian Bai, who had always disliked cumbersome etiquette, did not stop him this time.
He looked at the people who bowed before him, and felt something he had never felt before - mission.
After receiving this knock, he will either defeat the barbarians or fight to the death.
"Everyone, in two days, I will lead the troops to attack and defeat the barbarians."
Jian Bai also bowed.
In the afternoon, Jian Bai returned to his thatched house, pulled out the sword, and stroked it with his hand, feeling a little excited and a little uneasy in his heart.
This was the first time he led troops by himself, and he faced an unknown enemy. Whether this battle will be won or lost is hard to say.
But no matter how great the odds were, he had to give it a try.
"General Jianbai."
Liu Hezhi walked in with a bit of excitement on his face.
"Counsel Liu, you're here at the right time. I really want to discuss with you how to defeat the enemy."
Jian Bai hurriedly welcomed him into the house. With the help of counselor Liu, the odds of winning this battle would be much better.
"General, please wait and see, this battle will be won."
Liu Hezhi looked excited.
At noon today, Jian Bai only used a few words to ignite the fighting spirit of the people of Yantian County and solve the problem he was most worried about.
When Jian Bai heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face and he asked:
"Counsel Liu, please elaborate."
Liu Hezhi sat down, took a sip of water, and said:
"General, what you said today will conquer the hearts of the people and the army. Then there will be no worries. The whole army will only be at your disposal. This will be a victory."
"The barbarians have not suffered a defeat for many years. They let down their guard now and will never think that we will attack by surprise. And once we succeed, the opponent will definitely be in chaos. This is a two-win victory."
"The barbarians are uneducated and simple-minded. The general has many strategies and has Lei Zhenzi at his disposal. This is the third victory."
"Fourth, as long as the enemy is defeated in the first battle, the people of Yantian will rekindle their hope. Coupled with their hatred for the barbarians, everyone will be willing to die in battle, and the barbarians will lose. This is the fourth victory."
"Therefore, in my opinion, the general must win and the barbarians must lose."
Liu Hezhi finished speaking in one breath, and his expression gradually became excited.
With the current situation, Jianbai has no chance of losing.
"General, let's discuss the strategy in detail."
Jian Bai said.
The two chatted until late at night before they separated.
Jian Bai lit another candle, took a deep breath, took a bamboo slip, and wrote a letter.
"Brother Lin, I have arrived at Wanrong County, Yantian County, and will use Lei Zhenzi to eliminate all those who are unfavorable to me. In two days, I will lead the troops to attack and defeat the barbarians..."
