Chapter 114 The people here have different souls
Although he is just a clone at the moment, if they really start fighting, Yangshen Zhenjun will be able to win in a short time.
After taking stock of the resources in his hands, Ding Hai thought about the current situation in the world, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He wanted to use war to test how deep the water in this world was, but he could easily drown the three Wuyi Gods.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has come to its end. At this time of scramble for supremacy, even if the four academies of Confucianism, the three sects of Taoism, and the six schools of Buddhism do not take part in it themselves, they will certainly intervene.
Only by participating in the fight for the dragon and the cauldron can he get in touch with the Tao and the law of this world at the fastest speed.
Only then will he have the opportunity to absorb the knowledge accumulated by this world for thousands of years.
Although he had already made up his mind to do something big, Ding Hai was not stupid enough to make his position clear from the beginning.
Ding Hai, who was born in the new century, knows very well the tactics of Ming Taizu Zhu Baba, who built high cities, stored up grain, and slowly became king.
With the confidence that he can start over even if he turns the table, Ding Kai can naturally act as boldly as he wants.
“Quanfu, I have my own way of dealing with the middle-level third-grade warriors recruited by the six thieves. When you go down to convey the order, tell those people below to put their hearts at ease. I, Wang Nanrong, will not let them die in vain.
Most of the six thieves who went to meet Fu Qingzhu this time were the pillars of their six families.
At this moment, these six thieves must be leaderless. Even if one or two of them have someone who can turn the tide, it will be of no use.
When you pass down the order, have all the family soldiers in your mansion, as well as the two soldiers of the Xiuli Camp stationed outside the city, wear armor starting today.
Between today and tomorrow, I will make those six thieves disappear from this world completely."
Quanfu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ding Hai say that he had already prepared a response for the three-grade warriors among the six thieves. However, before he could relax, Ding Hai's next words made him nervous again.
However, after two years of preparation, Quanfu was actually ready for a battle with the six bandits. Although he was nervous, he was not afraid.
He is the master's adopted son, and he shares the master's fate. If the master and Young Master Sun are gone, the fate of him, as a adopted son, will certainly not be any better.
"Yes, sir, I will go down and convey your order."
Ding Hai was very satisfied with Quanfu's tactfulness. This start was much better than he had expected.
"Quanfu, the success or failure of the family generals and personal soldiers depends on us. With the reward I just gave them, they will definitely not have any doubts about my order.
Although we have always had a firm control over the two groups of soldiers from Xiuli Camp, there is still a layer of separation between us.
If any of them have any doubts about the encirclement and suppression of those six thieves, you can tell them directly.
To wipe out the six bandits this time, the two groups of soldiers from the Xiuli Camp only need to stand outside the tall walls of the six bandits, use their powerful bows and crossbows to surround them and prevent them from breaking out. I will take care of the rest.
After the matter is accomplished, I, Wang Nanrong, will receive not a penny less of their reward.
However, before I tell you what I have planned for them, I want you to write down the names and positions of those who have spoken out against it.
Since they are not on the same page with me, I will send them off after the mission is accomplished!"
After hearing the reassurance from Ding Hai, Quanfu's anxious heart was finally settled, right?
In his opinion, since his master had said so much, he must be holding a hidden card that he was unaware of.
The master is confident that he can divide up the six bandits and completely wipe them out. It seems that the master has at least one innate warrior as his trump card!
It is even possible that they are those great monks of the fifth realm who are elusive.
After receiving Ding Hai's instructions, Quanfu immediately left the county magistrate's office and took action.
The next morning, looking at Quanfu who looked like he had lived up to his master's trust, Ding Hai knew that the guns in his hands had been integrated that afternoon.
Just wait for his order and then follow him to kill all the six thieves.
“Master, the performance of the two groups of soldiers in Xiliu Camp was exactly as you expected, and someone has raised some opinions.
But after hearing that they didn't need to take action personally, those who had raised the issue remained silent.
I have written down their list, would you like to take a look at it, sir?"
After shaking his hand to indicate that he didn't need to look at the list, Ding Hai gave the next instruction: "Quanfu, send someone to climb over the city wall and leave the city tonight.
Take my letter and tell the two groups of soldiers in Xiliu Camp that tonight, they can only sleep for a while after all the soldiers in the two groups have put on their armor and swords.
At four o'clock tomorrow morning, two groups of soldiers will start cooking. By five o'clock, I want the defense of the entire county town to be taken over by them.
Before daybreak, if any of the six families escape punishment, they will be killed without mercy. "
I heard that Ding Hai had given orders tonight to start preparations and was expected to launch the attack during the day tomorrow.
Although Quanfu felt a little surprised, he didn't think there was anything strange about it. He still understood the principle that speed is of the essence in war.
After receiving Ding Hai's instructions, Quanfu immediately turned around and left to prepare.
As night fell, the soldiers of the Liangqu Xiuli Camp stationed outside the county seat of Yanmen County all put on leather armor under the order of their superiors.
The treatment of the family soldiers who were honored in the county magistrate's mansion was better than that of the soldiers in the Xiuli Camp outside the city. Most of them were equipped with iron armor.
The leader of the family generals, Yang Ye, even wore a set of chain mail with a layer of leather armor inside.
At the first watch, the whole city was under curfew. At the second watch, all the soldiers were fast asleep. At the third watch, there was not a single light in the county town.
At four o'clock in the morning, all the family generals and soldiers of the Xiuli Camp outside the city got up and started cooking.
At five o'clock in the morning, some changes took place quietly in the county town of Yanmen County, which had been quiet all night.
The city gate, which was supposed to be opened only after daybreak, was opened after Ding Hai personally showed up, and the three shifts of yamen runners who maintained the curfew in the county city were replaced by soldiers from the Xiuli Camp.
A total of six large courtyards with high gates, including three in the east, two in the south, and one in the north of the county city, were quietly surrounded by the soldiers of Xiuliying.
With the help of powerful bows and crossbows, the six thieves who joined forces to undermine Wang Sheng have all been surrounded by Ding Hai.
Looking at the slightly glowing sky, Ding Hai, who was standing in the north of the city, stood in front of a house with his hands behind his back.
In front of the Qian Family Courtyard, Quanfu was anxious because he had been waiting for his master's reinforcements but to no avail. What was going on? Where were the reinforcements that his master had ordered?
Could it be that those reinforcements were afraid of the strength and power of the six thieves and betrayed their own master?
No, the son of a rich family should not sit in a dangerous hall, so he had to persuade the master to leave: "Master, among the six families of Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng, the Qian family has the most profound foundation.
The Qian family, who have been trading horses outside the Great Wall for many years, have the strongest guards. There are at least ten well-known post-natal warriors in the Qian family, not to mention the strength hidden in the dark. Why don't we change a family to take the lead?"
Ding Hai didn't know about Quanfu's little thoughts and had no interest in guessing them.
He had never considered these six thieves as his opponents and now just wanted to defeat them and take the opportunity to test the strength level of this world.
"You have to pick the hardest bones to chew. The Qian family has been colluding with the Xiongnu outside the Great Wall. Killing their family is the least unfair among the six thieves.
Yang Ye, lead your men to break open the gate. The personal soldiers in the mansion, listen to my orders. After the gate of Qian's house is opened, you must not put down your swords on this trip.
After killing all the members of the Qian family, you can get 30% of the money and goods in this mansion, and the soldiers of the Xiuli Camp surrounding the Qian family can get 20%.
If anyone from the Qian family escapes, your profit will be reduced by 10%.
If the number of people from the Qian family who escaped reached two, the soldiers of the besieged Xiuli Camp would not have a penny to pay for this trip.
If the number of escapees reaches three, the personal soldiers will be treated the same as the soldiers of Xiliu Camp."
After hearing that Ding Hai had issued an order that he would not stop practicing in the Qian family, everyone present was shocked by Ding Hai's tyranny and cruelty!
Not stopping the fight means that no one in the entire Qian family will be left alive!
You know, in the Qian family’s mansion in the county town, in addition to the men and guards, there are also a large number of elderly, weak, women and children!
According to the punishment of the Great Zhou, even if the Qian family colluded with the Huns and betrayed their country, the children under one year old in the family could be saved after being caught!
However, after the moment of surprise wore off, everyone present became excited again.
The Qian family, that is a family with the word "Qian" in their name. They have made a lot of money over the years by trading horses and selling contraband materials to the Xiongnu tribe.
Rumor has it that the Qian family is worth billions, and 50% of their wealth is not a small amount.
For these soldiers who have to depend on their lives for survival, money is what they need most.
After all, Yanmen is located at the border, and none of the soldiers who eat food and get the ring know whether they can see the sun the next day.
In this kind of atmosphere, there is no soldier who would not want to be paid more for his service.
Even Yang Ye, the family general who currently serves as the captain of Ding Hai's personal guards, couldn't help but breathe faster after Ding Hai promised him a reward.
As the only post-natal realm warrior around the county magistrate, Yang Ye's daily treatment is naturally not bad.
In the entire county magistrate's mansion, apart from the county magistrate and Young Master Sun, he had the highest treatment. Even the housekeeper Fu Bo received a little less monthly salary than him.
However, Yang Ye, who had eight hungry children at home, always felt that the money he had was not enough.
After receiving Ding Hai's order, Yang Ye immediately stepped forward to the gate of Qian's mansion. As an acquired martial artist, his arms each had a strength of a thousand pounds.
Although the Qian family's gate was tall and big enough, the ordinary bolt behind the door could not stop Yang Ye's pair of iron arms.
With a loud bang, the gate that had stood in the Qian Mansion for nearly a hundred years was forcibly demolished by Yang Ye.
The sound of the Qian family's door falling down woke up everyone in the Qian family.
Before the Qian family members who were practicing in the front yard could send someone out to investigate.
After sensing that there were no acquired warriors among the Qian family members who were on night watch in the front yard, and that they were just a bunch of losers, Yang Ye led his men to charge into the Qian family's front yard.
As the personal soldiers guarding the county magistrate all day long, they naturally know the Qian family's deeds best - they are people who surrender to the enemy and sell out their country.
Anyone in the Great Zhou can kill such beasts.
Therefore, when facing the guards in the front yard of the Qian family, Yang Ye aimed every move at their weak points.
The number of guards in the Qian family's front yard was not large but definitely not small. After hearing the sound of the gate being knocked open, a total of eleven people rushed out.
These eleven men had no power to fight back against the personal soldiers led by Yang Ye. They didn't even have time to scream before they were hacked to death by Ding Hai's fifty personal soldiers.
For the personal soldiers who were greedy for money, these people were just appetizers.
Looking at the personal soldiers scattered around in the front yard, hacking and killing people, Ding Hai shook his head slightly. The quality of these personal soldiers still needs to be improved.
Although the individual qualities of these personal soldiers far exceeded those of ordinary soldiers in the Xiliu Camp, in terms of teamwork, the soldiers in the Xiliu Camp were far superior to these personal soldiers.
Just as the family generals and bodyguards were trying their best to kill those who had escaped the net in the front yard of the Qian family, a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from the main hall of the Qian family amid a series of shouts.
Looking at the dozens of figures rushing towards him, Yang Ye's expression suddenly turned ugly.
A martial artist at the acquired realm.
As a fellow martial artist at the post-natal realm, how could Yang Ye not recognize someone's strength?
Damn it, the Qian family is just a powerful family in the remote area of Yanmen County. How could they afford to support more than ten post-natal realm warriors?
Looking at the aura exuded by these post-natal realm warriors, several of them are obviously stronger than himself.
What about the arrangements made by the county governor? If he didn't show up, the people who entered the Qian family would be in danger. Even if he wore two layers of armor, he might not be able to escape unscathed!
Looking at the personal soldiers launching an attack in the front yard, the dozen or so figures all showed hatred on their faces.
Ever since the Qian family had colluded with the complaining Huns, they had never suffered such humiliation.
A mere county magistrate with a temporary official status actually had the guts to take the initiative to attack the Qian family. Did he really think that the knives in their hands were dull and could not cut people?
With hatred in their hearts, dozens of post-natal realm warriors belonging to the Qian family immediately rushed towards the personal soldiers in the front yard.
Ding Kai, who needed his personal soldiers as tools to deal with small pieces for him, did not sit idly by and watch his personal soldiers die or get injured.
With a wave of his hand, Ding Kai grabbed the scholar's sword hanging on his waist.
Step forward.
moment.
The entire front yard was filled with the same number of 'Ding Crabs' as those post-natal realm warriors.
This was not some kind of clone technique; it was simply because Ding Hai moved so fast that his afterimage had not yet dissipated in the air before his figure reappeared.
Looking at the dozens of figures in the sky that looked identical to the county magistrate, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
To the surprise of everyone present, dozens of blood swords spurted out from the throats of those post-natal realm warriors.
It was not until the dozens of blood arrows dyed the entire front yard red that the dozens of Ding Hai's afterimages in the sky above the front yard disappeared.
Seeing Ding Hai floating down to the ground, everyone present couldn't help but feel afraid.
I have never heard that my county magistrate has this skill!
But no matter how surprised you are, you still have to continue doing the dirty work.
With an attitude of showing loyalty, Yang Ye took the lead and charged into the Qian family's main hall.
Wherever he went, a large number of people from the Qian family who tried to stop him would fall.
This brave attitude made Ding Hai look at this personal soldier with a higher opinion of him.
If this personal guard leader can be as brave when facing the Xiongnu wolf cavalry in a month, it would be worth training him.
Although the Qian family became wealthy due to their collusion with the Huns, supporting a dozen post-natal realm warriors was already reaching their limit.
In the subsequent encirclement and suppression, no new post-natal realm warriors appeared. When the sky slightly brightened, there was no one alive in the entire Qian family.
Because it was getting close to morning, after the Qian family was surrounded and attacked, Ding Hai, who was known throughout the county, started to take action against the six thieves.
The Zhou, Chang, Li, Bai and Meng families were surrounded by soldiers from the Xiuli Camp and had no idea that the Qian family had been surrounded and suppressed.
However, looking at the soldiers of Xiliu Camp standing outside their own courtyard, the temporary leaders among these five families could not help but know that danger was approaching.
The most decisive of the five families was the Li family, after they realized that the soldiers of the Xiuli Camp had surrounded the Li family.
The temporary leader of the Li family immediately organized manpower and launched an attack on the encirclement formed by the soldiers of the Xiuli Camp.
Unfortunately, although the successive heads of the Li family were rare officials with high ranks and titles in the county, they were the undisputed powerful men in the entire Yanmen County.
But in terms of guard force, the Li family is far behind the Qian family who are on the brink of death all day long.
The breakout team consisting of three or two post-natal realm warriors was of no use when encountering the battle-hardened soldiers of the Xiliu Camp.
When the first ray of morning sun rose, Ding Hai left Quanfu at Qian's house to clean up the mess and led his troops to the Li family compound in the east of the city. Apart from leaving behind three or five corpses, the Li family did not cause any damage to the Xiliucao that surrounded them.
The soldiers of the Xiuli Camp who surrounded the Li family had long heard about Ding Hai's performance in the Qian family. Although they served Ding Hai, they also had their own thoughts.
At this moment, looking at the bodyguards behind Ding Hai who were dressed in plain clothes, their bodies looked as if they were stained with blood.
All the soldiers who had doubts about Ding Hai's attack shut their mouths.
I didn't expect that the county magistrate actually had a group of death-defying warriors under his command?
If I and others had stubbornly objected to Butler Fu yesterday, I'm afraid we would have been torn to pieces last night!
When they arrived in front of the Li family compound, Yang Ye, whose body was covered in blood and red from killing, took the initiative to come to the gate of the Li family without Ding Hai's words.
There was no call for surrender, no exhortation.
After blasting open the Li family's gate with the strength of his arms, he took the lead and rushed in.
There must be someone with ulterior motives among the soldiers of Xiliu Camp who besieged the Qian family.
A team leader looked at Ding Hai standing in front of the Li family gate holding a scholar's sword, gritted his teeth and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, Lord Wang has been very kind to us since he took office.
Now, those villains want to become enemies with Lord Wang and hand over our Yanmen County to those Xiongnu people. Can we agree to this?"
When the captain heard his superior, who he had been with day and night, say that a thief was about to hand over Yanmen County to someone else, the soldiers under his command immediately became excited and said, "No, no."
"Kill all the thieves, kill all the thieves..."
Being in Bingzhou and being soldiers of the border guards Xiuliying, they all had a deep hatred for the Xiongnu. If they handed over Yanmen Pass to the Xiongnu, they would be damned!
Soldiers generally don't care too much. As long as they have enough food and drink and get paid on time, they are content.
In their simple minds, working for a salary is a matter of course.
County Magistrate Ding Hai has paid their salaries on time every month for the past two years, so they should work hard for him.
If it weren't for the objection from Qu Chang above, they would have been fighting along with Lord Wang's personal soldiers.
Intimidated by their superiors' authority and Lord Wang's orders, they could only adopt a defensive posture.
But once their enemies became connected with the Huns, things could no longer remain so unclear.
After receiving the response from his soldiers, the thoughtful captain glanced at Ding Hai who was still standing quietly in front of the gate of the Li family compound, and then took the lead and rushed into the Li family with a sword drawn.
With the help of a team of fifty soldiers, Yang Ye's pressure was immediately reduced. The three post-natal realm warriors who were originally besieging him were soon isolated after being divided by the battle formation of the old soldiers in Xiuliying.
Faced with three lonely warriors in the post-natal realm, Yang Ye quickly achieved rich results with the assistance of the soldiers around him.
One was beheaded, one had his waist broken, and another was stabbed through the heart by a spear.
Without the obstruction of the acquired realm warrior, the remaining guards of the Li family could not even stop Yang Ye, who was already bloodthirsty, for a moment.
Yang Ye, who had not received Ding Hai's order to stop using the knife, was already feeling a little nauseous from the smell of blood.
But he still gritted his teeth and led his personal soldiers to wipe out the entire Li family.
Covered in blood and exhausted, Yang Ye came to Ding Hai with his sword, which had been bent, and ordered: "Reporting to the Lord, the Li family of Yanmen County has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Now they have all been executed. I hope the Lord will give the next instructions."
Looking at Yang Ye, who had already become somewhat lenient with killing, and the personal soldiers behind him, Ding Hai said words of encouragement with approval: "When the Li family enjoyed prosperity and wealth, everyone in the Li family was enjoying it along with them.
Don’t they know what their family members are planning? They know!
Didn't they know that the Xiongnu wolf soldiers would move south in a month? They knew.
If I die, the four counties of Yanmen County will inevitably be in chaos in a short period of time. Don’t they know this? The answer is still two words: I know.
They are cruel and want to use the blood and tears of the people in the four counties of Yanmen to add bricks and tiles to the hairpins on their heads.
Then don't blame me for being unfair. Kill their entire family today to prevent the Xiongnu from coming south and eliminate the internal troubles in a month."
Ding Hai did not say any polite words to gloss over the situation. There was no need to do so. Everyone has their own standards in their hearts when things have come to this point.
Between the two choices of serving Ding Hai to resist the Xiongnu wolf soldiers and ignoring the six families of Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng to kill Ding Hai and completely destroy the hope of Yanmen County to resist the Xiongnu.
Yang Ye's family generals and personal soldiers chose to be loyal to Ding Hai, and the soldiers in the Xiuli Camp, who had a blood feud with the Huns for generations, also made the same choice.
"All the soldiers, listen to my command. Leave a team to guard the Li family compound and wait for the county magistrate's officials to take over. The rest of you will follow me to continue to eliminate the internal thieves and Zhou traitors."
"I will obey your orders."
"Yes…"
"promise……"
Hearing the cheers of all the soldiers in front of him, Ding Hai knew that, driven by interests and justice, the nearly three hundred soldiers in front of him had already begun to accept him in their hearts.
As long as he can lead them from one victory to another, these three hundred soldiers will be his die-hard fans and the indestructible sharp sword in his hands.
With more and more soldiers from Xiuli Camp joining in voluntarily, the Zhou, Chang and Meng families were wiped out before they could make any waves.
Nearing noon, the entire Yanmen County was flooded with blood, and the bloody smell in the air made ordinary people feel nauseous.
In front of the last of the six families, the Bai family, looking at the tightly closed door of the Bai family, the personal guards who were already blood-thirsty and most of the soldiers of the Xiliu Camp were eager to try.
The killing this morning has completely aroused the blood in their bodies.
Just as Yang Ye, with his tired body and excited mentality, was ready to make another effort to completely sweep the six rebel families entrenched in Yanmen County into the ruins of history.
The door of the Bai family, which had been closed since last night, was suddenly opened.
Looking at Bai Yanrong, the young master of the Bai family, who was dressed in the same plain clothes, Yang Ye, who had just raised the knife in his hand and was ready to fight again, was stunned for a moment: What's going on?
The doors of these wealthy families could not be blocked even by a full-strength punch from me, but they were still a barrier after all. It was incredible that they gave up so early!
In amazement, Yang Ye turned his gaze to Ding Hai who was standing not far behind him. As for the disposal of the Bai family, only Ding Hai could make the decision here.
Just as Yang Ye turned his gaze to Ding Hai, Bai Yanrong, who had just stepped out of the Bai family's gate, also looked at Ding Hai: "Does the county magistrate really want to kill us all?"
Ding Hai remained indifferent to the questioning. Since he had made up his mind to kill the six local tyrants in Yanmen County to test the reaction of the world, he would never give up halfway.
Looking at Ding Hai's indifferent face, Bai Yanrong was not afraid. Instead, he took the offensive instead of defensive and questioned Ding Hai.
"Sir Wang, you instigated the war against us without the consent of the state government. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the state government afterwards?
Even if you are a role model of scholars in the world, you cannot escape death for committing such a heinous crime. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!
The carriage of Master Fu Qingzhu, the Right Imperial Envoy, is in Linjun. I have already passed the news through secret channels since your troops surrounded my Bai family.
By now, I’m afraid Lord Fu’s carriage will soon arrive at the gate of the county city.
If you are willing to surrender, I will ask the Imperial Master Pudu Cihang to forgive you for the heinous crimes you have committed."
When Ding Hai heard Bai Yanrong using Fu Qingzhu as a bargaining chip to threaten him, the look in his eyes when he looked at him suddenly changed to that of a fool.
This person couldn't even see the most basic situation clearly and yet he came out and made up a lot of nonsense to threaten me.
Are you a fool?
Although the Great Zhou was already terminally ill, it still had the most basic political identity.
Whether officials or civilians or demons and monsters, they basically abide by a tacit understanding.
That is, the person who destroys the Great Zhou must not be a foreign race like the Huns, because this is seriously not in the interests of the Zhou people and those demons and monsters.
Alien ethnic groups like the Huns have their own beliefs and their own ideas about governing the world.
If they destroyed the Great Zhou and gained power in the Central Plains, it would be a huge blow to the current Zhou people and those rampant demons and monsters.
The Huns had their own system, just like the Yuan Dynasty in the present world, and would never play with the Zhou people and those rampant monsters and demons.
Therefore, when it comes to resisting the southward advance of the Xiongnu wolf soldiers, his interests as the prefect of Yanmen County are consistent with those of Fu Qingzhu.
The reason why Fu Qingzhu stopped in Shangdang County behind Yanmen County was that after Yanmen became undefendable, he wanted to use Shangdang as a base to resist the Xiongnu wolf soldiers and earn some credit for himself.
The six families, hoping that the Xiongnu would wreak havoc in Bingzhou and even the heartland of the Central Plains, went to ask to see Fu Qingzhu.
If he was more shrewd, he might have offered them a cup of hot tea and tried every possible way to monitor them.
If he had a worse temper, it would be a question whether the heads of the six families who went to seek an audience with him would be able to live to see the sunrise today.
After finding out Bai Yanrong's background outside the Bai family compound, Ding Hai no longer had the patience to continue wasting time with him.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Ye, who received his order, immediately led his troops into the Bai family in front of Bai Yanrong and started killing. The sound of fighting came from behind the Bai family's courtyard wall.
Ding Hai didn't ask about the Bai family's future fate because Quanfu had just reported something to him and Fu Qingzhu arrived.
Fu Qingzhu really came to Yanmen County just as Bai Yanrong had said.
However, after his carriage arrived in Yanmen County, it stayed outside the city gate and had no intention of entering the city.
Ding Hai was a little surprised at Fu Qingzhu's arrival. According to his inference, Fu Qingzhu should not get involved in these messy things in Yanmen County.
Could something unexpected have happened along the way?
Ding Hai was also somewhat interested in Fu Qingzhu, who came to Yanmen County without even saying hello.
When he slaughtered the six families just now, he secretly used his Sky-Observing Eye to its full potential and noticed something interesting.
Now there is a new variable, which makes it even more interesting: "Quanfu, the city is handed over to you. When I return, I don't want the city to be in a mess.
The money seized from the six families was divided up in the ratio of 5:3:2.
Make a list of the generals who are standing by and watching, and find a way to purge them all within the next month, along with the generals who were not on the same page with us last night."
"Yes, sir. How should we deal with those forces in the city that are attached to the six thieves?"
"Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be arrested should be arrested, those who should be taken over should be taken over, and those who should be sold should be sold.
I want you to wipe out the remaining forces of the six bandits in Yanmen County as quickly as possible. You can use the personal soldiers and generals in the mansion at your disposal.
You can command the three shifts of yamen runners and the many clerks in the county government with my badge, and just report to me once every evening."
Quanfu was not surprised by Ding Hai's relinquishment of power.
In his mind, the master is a noble scholar who only needs to formulate general strategies, and specific matters should be handled by a butler like him.
After explaining to Quan Quanfu how to deal with the remaining forces of the six thieves, Ding Hai turned around, mounted a horse and drove towards the city gate of Yanmen County.
Although Yanmen County was the county seat, the city was not very large. After riding the horse for a while, Ding Hai arrived at the city gate.
Riding out of the city gate and looking at the several carriages parked in the middle of the official road outside the city gate, Ding Hai had some guesses about Fu Qingzhu's purpose.
This Right Censor-in-Chief was probably here to test my character. If I were as indecisive as my predecessor and only wanted to escape from Yanmen and return to the prosperous Jiangnan area to become a scholar "persecuted by treacherous officials", I would be in trouble.
I was afraid that Fu Qingzhu would use his status as the Right Censor-in-Chief to take me down first, then take advantage of the situation to eliminate the six bandits, and finally gather the strength of Shangdang and Yanmen counties to resist the Huns' wolf soldiers.
If he could hold on, he would immediately become famous and become a rare person in the Great Zhou who knew military affairs, and his career would go smoothly.
Even if he couldn't hold on, it wasn't a big deal for him as his job was the Right Censor-in-Chief. As long as he could save his life, he could leave an impression of being brave and responsible in the eyes of his superiors.
After seeing through Fu Qingzhu's temptation, Ding Hai was not angry.
If he guessed correctly, the heads of the six families, Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai and Meng, had probably been captured by Fu Qingzhu and were now prisoners.
Looking at Ding Hai riding out of Yanmen on horseback, Fu Qingzhu, who was sitting in the carriage, looked puzzled.
Although Ding Hai was not covered in blood at the moment, the extremely strong smell of blood on his body could not be faked.
Just when Fu Qingzhu was puzzled, Ding Hai spoke.
"Brother Qingzhu, since you have already arrived in Yanmen County, why don't you show up to see me?"
Fu Qingzhu, whose courtesy name is Qingzhu, is named after bamboo, which represents its toughness and purity.
At the invitation of Ding Hai, his nominal junior fellow apprentice, Fu Qingzhu lifted the door curtain, walked out of the carriage, bowed and saluted Ding Hai.
Standing on his horse, Ding Hai casually returned the greeting and asked directly about the purpose of Fu Qingzhu's visit: "I wonder what business Senior Brother Qingzhu has in visiting Yanmen County?
I have received intelligence that the Xiongnu wolf soldiers on the grassland will move south to attack the pass in a month.
This place is about to become a battlefield. For the sake of your safety, Senior Brother Qingzhu, this is not a place where you can stay for long."
Fu Qingzhu, who was used to the shrouded and mysterious style of officialdom, was caught off guard by Ding Hai's frankness.
This straightforward way of communication made him, who had been working in the six departments for a long time, very uncomfortable.
After realizing that Ding Hai had easily given him a head start, Fu Qingzhu put away his contempt for Ding Hai and said, "Junior brother, you are joking.
Brother, as an official of the Great Zhou, how can I escape from here and live in disgrace when there is danger at the border?
I have also heard the news about the Huns heading south. This time they are escorting some traitors to the country for you to deal with.
These people still have some influence in Yanmen County under the rule of my senior brother. If we don’t wipe out their influence in Yanmen County as soon as possible.
When the Xiongnu wolf soldiers march south, if they are allowed to join forces from within and without, the land of Bingzhou will be devastated."
Fu Qingzhu's words proved that Ding Hai's inference was not wrong. This clever Right Censor-in-Chief was indeed here to test him.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is smiling at me and calling me junior brother all the time.
But if he was still as indecisive as his predecessor, and failed to deal with the six villains ruthlessly and promptly.
I am afraid that tomorrow he will use his authority as an inspector to question me, and I will be imprisoned the day after tomorrow.
"Brother Qingzhu, rest assured. I have captured all the local traitors as sacrifices.
I wanted to write to you and ask you to help me hunt down those remnants.
I didn't expect that we two brothers would think the same way."
After hearing that nearly a thousand people from the six families were ordered to be executed by Ding Hai, Fu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. This was different from what the heads of the six families said.
Didn’t I say that my Junior Brother Wang has been sidelined by you?
Following Ding Hai into Yanmen County, Fu Qingzhu believed 80% of what Ding Hai said after smelling the blood in the air.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. Many people must have lost their lives in Yanmen County this morning.
The fact that Wang Nanrong could ride his horse across the street openly showed that he was the winner this morning. It seemed that his initial idea of defeating him was not feasible.
Now we can only seek win-win results through cooperation!
After deciding on the idea of win-win cooperation, Fu Qingzhu, who followed Ding Hai to the Yanmen County government office, readily handed over the heads of the six families of Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng who had been tied up by him, as well as the forces guarding them.
Looking at the dozens of tightly tied meat dumplings in the lobby of the county government office, Ding Hai's eyes flickered.
This Fu Qingzhu is no simple person. The Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng families are located at the border, and the martial arts strength of the heads of these six families are quite strong.
In the end, Fu Qingzhu tied him up like a New Year pig and brought him in front of him.
Ha ha!
In Ding Hai's spiritual investigation, he was able to clearly detect the strength of Fu Qingzhu's followers.
Three innate realm warriors, eight acquired realm warriors, wow, they are worthy of being imperial envoys.
Comparing the luxurious military configuration around Fu Qingzhu, Ding Hai observed a three-second silence for Wang Sheng.
If Wang Sheng also had such a luxurious power configuration, Yanmen County would probably become an iron plate in his hands.
Facing the heads of the six families, Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng, Ding Hai reached out and drew a dead lot from the bucket on the table in front of him and threw it out.
Since he had already formed a blood feud with the Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai, and Meng families, Ding Hai had no intention of letting any of them go.
The bailiffs guarding the county government office took immediate action when they saw the death sign fall to the ground.
The county magistrate's madness this morning scared a lot of people, including them of course.
Seeing that Ding Hai had directly signed the death penalty without even a trial, Fu Qingzhu's fear of Ding Hai immediately reached its peak.
This is a person who has no regard for the lives of others.
After realizing this, Fu Qingzhu quickly changed his original plan: "Junior brother, we are all scholars.
If we keep talking about vague and evasive things all day long, we can each talk about it for three days and three nights.
So, brother, I want to talk to you straight to the point.
I have a rough idea of why you are here today, and I think you should have some impression of who I am.
The six families of Zhou, Qian, Chang, Li, Bai and Meng are not a concern. They cannot cause any trouble in Yanmen.
What could really threaten Yanmen County was the Xiongnu Wolf Cavalry that would march south in a month.
Yanmen Pass is the second checkpoint to defend against the Xiongnu Wolf Cavalry. If Yanmen Pass is lost after Yinshan Mountain has been lost, the land of Bingzhou will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Xiongnu Wolf Soldiers.
Although Shangdang County was able to temporarily hold off the Xiongnu's wolf soldiers due to its geographical advantage, it would inevitably be lost if it were to defend for too long. Under the attack of the Xiongnu's 30,000 wolf soldiers, no one could guarantee when Shangdang would fall.
As an imperial commissioner patrolling the border, I cannot leave my post without a transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel, which means that my fate is tied to the four counties and one city of Yanmen County..."
Ding Hai did not hear a word of Fu Qingzhu's chattering. At this moment, he was using his Sky-Observing Magic Pupil to scan the sky above Yanmen County.
Looking at those souls that looked no different from ordinary people when hidden in the flesh, but immediately fell apart into pieces and turned into different soul fragments after losing the flesh, he studied them carefully.
