I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

As the map was slowly unfolded, Long Guangxian stiffly crossed out the Luoyun City in front of him.

Another city has fallen. Is there anywhere else to go in the entire Yunzhou?

Long Guangxian's heart was filled with sadness. A month ago, he was the glorious general of Caiyun City, but now, he was nothing more than a stray dog...

Just as Long Guangxian was looking at the map in front of him with extreme disappointment, a soldier's hand reached out.

"General, have a drink of water."

Long Guangxian nodded blankly and reached out to take the water bag.

Snapped!

The sound of the water bag falling on the map was heard, and Long Guangxian came back to his senses and hurriedly picked up the water bag.

Fortunately, the mouth of the water bag was not opened, otherwise this last map would have been lost.

And at this moment, a small town suddenly appeared in Long Guangxian's sight.

"This...this is..."

Just as Long Guangxian was looking at the map in disbelief, Wang Kuo was already walking towards him quickly.

"General, I can see clearly that Luoyun City has fallen, and the rebel flag has been raised on the city wall!"

"I'm afraid we really have nowhere else to go. In my opinion, we should see if we can rob a ship and take it directly to the imperial capital."

While Wang Kuo was chattering on and on, Long Guangxian didn't make any move. Wang Kuo looked in the direction Long Guangxian was looking in confusion.

A small border town, at the edge of the map, is so tiny.

But now this city is so dazzling in Long Guangxian's eyes.

If there is a city in Yunzhou that has not been conquered, it might be here.

Located on the border and surrounded by mountains, Long Guangxian really couldn't think of any reason why the rebels would attack this city called Taiping County.

First, there are no resources, and second, the roads are blocked. Unless the rebels are stupid, they will definitely not care about this small town.

"Taiping County? Why do I feel like I've heard of it somewhere..." Wang Kuo murmured.

Long Guangxian frowned immediately: "Yes, I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now that you mention it, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

"General, what do you think? Should we go there?" Wang Kuo asked.

Long Guangxian grinned and said, "Of course we have to go. Do we have any other choice now? Once we get there, at least we can fill our stomachs and wait for the reinforcements sent by the court."

"Brothers, let's go. It's only 800 miles. In six days, we should be there!"

As Long Guangxian spoke, he jumped on his horse. More than a thousand defeated soldiers hurriedly followed him. A cloud of dust was raised and the sound of horse hooves soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.

At the same time, in Luoyun City, Ding Yin opened a secret letter with great joy.

"Your Highness must have conquered Caiyun City, which is why he sent us the secret letter."

Chen Xudong, a talented young man with mechanical skills, stretched his head and said, "Hurry up and see what's written on it. If my master brought it here, will the war machine appear on the battlefield?"

Ding Yin snapped his fingers at him in annoyance and said, "Look at how impatient you are. I'll tell you after I finish reading it."

As Ding Yin spoke, he quickly opened the secret letter and took out the letter paper. There were not many words on the paper, the main content was that Caiyun City had been captured.

"Hahaha! Your Highness has truly taken over Caiyun City. Your master was the first to gain a firm foothold on the city wall using his war beast. He deserves the credit!"

"Really! I knew that my master was the most powerful. Next time we attack a city, I will definitely use the war beast to climb the enemy's city wall!" Chen Xudong said excitedly.

Ding Yin smiled faintly and continued reading.

After reading the entire secret letter, Ding Yin smiled helplessly: "Your Highness really pursues perfection."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xudong came over curiously.

Ding Yin put the secret letter away and said softly, "We are going to march again. This time the target is not far away. If we march at full speed, we will arrive within ten days."

"What? They're going to attack the city again. This time, you have to let me go up no matter what!" Chen Xudong said quickly.

"What are you doing!" Ding Yin patted Chen Xudong's head in annoyance.

"Do you know what our target is this time? It's a relatively poor border town a few hundred miles to the north of us."

"The Great Duan didn't even station any soldiers there, and I think the city walls are just made of ash. They don't need your war beasts."

As he spoke, a figure suddenly appeared in Ding Yin's mind. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Hmph! You bastard, you actually dared to threaten me in the imperial capital last time. I'll skin you alive this time!"

"Hmm? What do you mean? Tell me." Chen Xudong turned into a curious baby again.

Ding Yin's expression suddenly became serious, what the hell!

I'm not an idiot, how can I expose my own shortcomings?

But Jiang Yuan was really abominable last time. He actually threatened us with the address of the coffin shop and other information. If we didn't help him, he would just spread the address all over the streets.

Under forced circumstances, Ding Yin still took action.

Of course, they didn't put in much effort. They only sent out ten assassins to intercept and kill the troops of the Ning and Yang families.

But this is a loss after all. Now that I can use this as an excuse to go to Taiping County, I must take revenge.

"Come here, inform them that we will set off immediately tomorrow morning."

"Leave 5,000 soldiers in the city to defend it, and the rest will follow me. I'll prepare a month's supply of military rations."

Ding Yin finished speaking and sat down, muttering to himself, "This remote Taiping County, even the rations for the troops have to be prepared by myself, it's simply useless, even if we capture it, it's useless."

"Forget it, since it's His Highness's order, let's go."

"It's boring. What's the point of fighting in a small city? We just sent two or three thousand people to scare them and they just opened the city and surrendered. I haven't even used the war beast yet." Chen Xudong shook his head in disappointment.

Seeing this, Ding Yin could only smile and say comfortingly, "How about this? You take the things with you, and if they don't surrender, you'll be responsible for smashing the city gate. How about that?"

"Really?"

"Of course, but you can't harm the people in the city."

"Great! It's a deal!"

The next morning, Ding Yin, wearing armor, waved his hand and led more than 3,000 people towards Taiping County.

At this time, the handsome boy Jiang Yuan, who was far away in Taiping County, was sitting in the county government office with his legs crossed.

"Where did that old man Tian Wen go? Didn't we agree to come to Taiping County if we had nowhere else to go?"

"Luoyun City has been under attack for over ten days, why is there still no one around?"

"If you, Tian Wen, don't come, how will the rebels come?"

"How can I capture living labor if the rebels don't come?"

“Without a labor force, how can I develop Taiping County?”

After complaining for a while, Jiang Yuan shook his head and lay down on the chair, covering his face with the information in his hand.

"Oh! I'm so worried!"
