Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

After leaving the mountain gate of Yunqing Village, Xu Dali was blown by the strong wind, and his originally drowsy brain suddenly became much clearer, but he still looked excited.

He thought that the Marquis of Zhenxi was coming to Xiliang to wipe out these bandits. In the days after he heard the news, he couldn't sleep at night and was worried.

Now that he knew the true strength of the Marquis of Zhenxi, he no longer felt the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he couldn't wait to charge into the Marquis's mansion!

On the way back to his own village, Xu Dali, who was on horseback, had a cruel smile on his face. He licked his upper lip and said to the sturdy man beside him:

"Second brother, when we get to the village, organize most of the brothers to attack Gaoliu City!"

Huang Yi, the second in command of Duotian Village, looked at Xu Dali with a puzzled look on his face. He scratched his head and asked, "Boss, didn't you say that the Marquis of Zhenxi didn't bring any soldiers with him?"

"With the people we have now, we can kill him without leaving a single piece of armor! Would it be too much to call in half of the brothers? Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

Xu Dali's face froze, and he immediately scolded: "What do you know? Not to mention that we have more people and can easily destroy the Marquis's Mansion and reduce casualties."

"Just think about how much gold, silver and jewelry there is in such a huge mansion? How many fine wines and beauties are there? How can we move them back to the village if there are not many people?"

Huang Yi said "oh", but soon he said "huh" again, and asked Xu Dali: "That's not right, Boss. Didn't you just promise the other three village chiefs to share the stolen things?"

Xu Dali's face darkened again. He raised his hand and slapped Huang Yi's head several times. He cursed: "Why did I bring such an idiot like you with me!"

"You just play with women all the time. You've made yourself stupid, right?"

Huang Yi's face turned red. He quickly pulled the reins to pull the horse aside, fearing that Xu Dali would hit him a few more times.

"That was all me trying to trick the three of them! This is called a delaying tactic!" Xu Dali rolled his eyes at Huang Yi.

"If I had said at that time that I wanted to take all the treasures and women for myself, would those three guys let me go?"

"But it's different outside the village. What I robbed belongs to me. There's no reason to give it away!"

Xu Dali sneered a few times: "Once I have the gold, silver and jewelry in the Marquis's Mansion, am I afraid that I can't poach people from the other three villages?"

"By then, our Duotian Village will be the most powerful! Then we should think about how to annex the other three villages!"

Huang Yi's eyes sparkled after hearing what Xu Dali said. He quickly said, "By then, you will be the most powerful person in Xiliang! Even the Lord of Longxi City will have to be polite to you!"

Xu Dali looked very proud, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, follow me and learn well! Watch how I, your elder brother, destroy the Marquis' Mansion tonight!"

"When the time comes, I'll let you choose first, big brother!"

"Oh, I dare not. The most beautiful woman is definitely reserved for you, Boss!"

"Haha! I just like your sweet mouth!"

"drive!"

......

The sun gradually sets. The weather in Xiliang is changeable. It is a bit chilly in the evening even before autumn.

The people of Gaoliu City who had just returned from farming were on their way home. When they met acquaintances, they would discuss going home together, and of course, they would inevitably chat for a while.

"Hey, have you heard anything? Someone saw a large group of people coming into the city yesterday, and they seemed to be heading to the north of the city."

"Yesterday? Wasn't that the Marquis of Zhenxi? They were the only ones who entered the city yesterday!"

"No! That was before! The old man was talking about the night when he saw many soldiers entering the city and heading north!"

The other civilians were a little confused. One of them asked, "So many soldiers?"

"Yes! It was a huge crowd! They said there were several thousand people!"

"That's not right! I heard that this marquis from the capital didn't bring any soldiers with him, only some followers and guards. Where did these thousands of soldiers come from?"

"And there's something even more bizarre!" a citizen suddenly said.

His sudden surprise attracted the attention of other people, and several people came closer.

"What's so weird?"

"Yes! Hurry up and tell me! I'm so anxious!"

"In addition to the thousands of soldiers who showed up last night, there were suddenly several hundred more men behind us, pretending to be from other places!"

The other civilians were all surprised. Gaoliu City was close to the bandits and was often invaded by them.

Over time, this city, once the second largest city in Xiliang, gradually fell into decline and depression, and outsiders were no longer willing to come here.

They haven't seen outsiders for many years, and in the early years there were still some traveling merchants willing to come here to trade.

But ever since those merchants were robbed several times by bandits on the road, no merchant group was willing to come to Gaoliu City anymore.

If they wanted to buy something, they had to go out of town early in the morning to other towns, and then rush back before dark.

Don’t even mention how painful that day was.

So when they learned that in addition to the general, many outsiders also came to Gaoliu City last night, they were shocked, but at the same time they had a little hope.

The people of Gaoliu City have suffered from bandits for a long time. The lord of Longxi City has 50,000 elite soldiers, but he does not want to help them suppress the bandits. Therefore, they no longer trust the government officials.

So when the marquis who came from the capital entered the city yesterday, they were unwilling to go out to greet him.

They felt that this marquis was in cahoots with the Lord of Longxi City and neither of them was a good person, so they were not allowed to have anything to do with the bandits in Yingchuan.

"Could it be that this marquis is here to suppress bandits? I heard something about this when I went to the next town to buy some salt not long ago."

"They say this Marquis of Zhenxi is the son of our imperial general! He became a marquis at such a young age! He came to Xiliang to suppress bandits!"

"Is this true?" The other people were puzzled.

"Maybe? Otherwise, how do we explain those sudden appearances of military officers?"

"But a few thousand soldiers are not enough! There are more than 10,000 or 20,000 bandits in Yingchuan!"

"So this is how powerful this marquis is! Otherwise, how can you say he is the son of a great general?"

"Have you heard of General Ying? He is the brave general who quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms! He also came to Xiliang with the Marquis!"

"It looks like our Gaoliu City is saved?"

"I don't understand! Forget it! What does this have to do with ordinary people like us? Let's all go back as soon as possible."

The few people stopped communicating and went home.

At the same time, in the north of Gaoliu City, Ying Xuanze climbed up the newly built city wall and looked towards the mountains of Yingchuan.

Zhang Fei was standing behind him. Ying Xuanze smiled faintly and said, "Yide, you did a good job. The surrounding defensive fortifications were repaired so quickly."

"Thanks to the help of the people, and the fact that the damage to the city walls was not serious, it was naturally quick to repair them."

The people Zhang Fei was referring to were the one thousand adults that Ying Xuanze later exchanged.

"Report!" A soldier came hurriedly on horseback.

After he stopped his horse, he dismounted and clasped his fists towards Ying Xuanze and Zhang Fei on the city wall and said:

"Report to the lord and general! The spies in the mountains reported that they heard a lot of horse hoof sounds twenty miles away! I'm afraid it's the bandits from Yingchuan who are coming to attack!"

The corners of Ying Xuanze's mouth slightly raised. These bandits finally couldn't hold back any longer...
