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

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the place fell silent.

Everyone had a strange look on their face, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Damn, if Wu De’s original method could be implemented, it would be quite immoral.

But compared to this person, everyone's eyes looking at Wu De suddenly became normal.

Everyone was sure that if this batch of food and grass reached Ning Fei's army and was cooked into rice, no one would complain after eating it, and there was a possibility that a plague would break out and the entire army would be wiped out.

Mu Songfeng stared at Jiang Yuan with his eyes wide open, and it took him a long time to recover his composure. "Where did you learn this from?"

"No one taught me." Jiang Yuan said in confusion. They didn't teach this stuff in school.

"No one taught you?" Mu Songfeng stood up in surprise and looked Jiang Yuan up and down. "Without anyone teaching you, how could you come up with such an idea?"

"There's really no one to teach me." Jiang Yuan said helplessly.

Just at this moment, Wu De, who was originally standing behind Mu Songfeng, ran down happily.

"I believe in him!"

“Some things are innate!”

Then Wu De looked at Jiang Yuan excitedly: "What's your name?"

"Jiang Yuan."

"Oh, big brother! From now on you are my real big brother. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Jiang Yuan looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Wu De rubbed his face and said gratefully, "You don't know, ever since I came here and gave them some advice, they all call me a black-hearted fat guy!"

"And Mei Liangxin, who was directly called a child without an asshole."

"That's really tragic." Jiang Yuan sighed and spoke to comfort her.

"No, no, no!" Wu De quickly shook his head and looked at Jiang Yuan with shining eyes.

"Brother, from the moment you walked in, I felt a powerful aura. Compared to you, I am nothing!"

"And don't you notice that the way they look at you is not right?"

Jiang Yuan looked around and said, "Yeah, a little bit."

"That's right!" Wu Dexin said ecstatically, "Originally they all said I wasn't a human being, but as soon as you came up with that idea, I knew I was still a human being from now on!"

"I used to feel sad when I heard them say I was a bad person, but now I feel much better."

"I find myself compared to you, I'm like a fucking saint!"

Jiang Yuan's old face darkened and he quickly turned his head to look at the people around him.

"Ahem! Lord Jiang is the Viscount conferred by me personally. Anyone who dares to speak nonsense will not be forgiven by me!" Duanmu Yuanchen spoke quickly.

"And Wu De and Mei Liangxin, they are both counselors appointed by me personally. Their plans are all for the greater good, and no one is allowed to discuss them privately!"

Jiang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Mu Songfeng came to Jiang Yuan and spoke again.

"Master Jiang, I have another question. During this period, all of our captured soldiers were hanged high up by Ning Fei's orders and tortured to death."

"Morale among the troops is somewhat low. Do you have any good ideas?"

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Wu De spoke first, "I suggested emulating Ning Fei's methods before, using as cruel a method as possible, but the response seemed average."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shook his head: "This is definitely not possible. Ning Fei was the one who started this matter. No matter what we do, we are just imitating him, and the effect will be much worse."

"Then according to your plan, how should we respond?" Mu Songfeng looked at Jiang Yuan with interest.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly. Was Mu Songfeng testing him intentionally?

If someone else asked, maybe that person really didn't know, but who is Mu Songfeng? A guy who can be called the King of Hell should not be so ignorant as to not even know this.

"Well, Your Majesty, I believe that those soldiers who died in battle should be given a proper burial!"

"Also, spread the word that as long as the soldiers who previously participated in the rebellion are willing to lay down their weapons, they will no longer be held accountable. The same applies to the eight states occupied by Ning Fei."

"Tell those officials that they are forced by the situation and that voting for Ning Fei is understandable, but the situation has stabilized now. We control ten states, and they are the richest of the ten states. Our chances of winning are still greater than Ning Fei's. If anyone surrenders now, they will be reinstated and no one will be held accountable afterwards."

"Besides that, Your Majesty needs to send envoys to the border troops stationed there and tell them to stop fighting. We are all one family, all refugees of the Great Dian. Continuing to fight will do us no good. As long as they are willing to surrender, we will not pursue them."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed.

But Mu Songfeng kept nodding his head: "That's right, since ancient times, attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart, and psychological warfare is superior to physical warfare."

"Master Jiang, it seems you have a deep understanding of the art of war."

Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly: "Marshal Mu, you must be joking. In fact, I don't know how to use troops, nor do I know how to command a battle."

Mu Songfeng smiled and said, "These are all minor issues. As the saying goes, military tactics are easy to understand, but military principles are difficult to grasp."

"Master Jiang has already grasped the essentials of military theory. He only needs to study the art of war carefully. He will surely become a talented general in the future."

"No, no, no! I'm not interested in this." Jiang Yuan spoke quickly. This damn old Deng has bad intentions.

I have now been granted the title of Viscount and even have a fiefdom. To put it bluntly, it is completely equivalent to a vassal state.

Even though Duanmu Yuanchen didn't feel anything now, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Although it is hard to say whether Daduan can hold on until that time, Jiang Yuan does not want to take any risks that should not be taken.

"Ha ha!"

"Well, with Lord Jiang's talent, he will surely be able to assist the king."

After Mu Songfeng finished speaking, he turned around, bent his waist, and slowly walked back to his seat.

"Since Lord Jiang has said so, this matter will be handed over to Xue Zhen. You go and handle it. Remember, you must strictly follow the strategy Lord Jiang has stated."

After a while, everyone in the big tent slowly dispersed, and Jiang Yuan also bowed and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, wait for me, let's go together." Chen Liu caught up.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile: "Old Jiang, we are all family, can we talk for a moment?"

Jiang Yuan nodded reluctantly. Although he could tell that this guy had bad intentions, he was an old acquaintance after all.

A moment later, the two of them arrived directly at the camp where they were stationed in Taiping County.

"Old Jiang, I want to ask you something." Chen Liu said with a serious face.

"Do you know about the incident a few years ago when someone infiltrated the Yang family in the imperial capital?"

"I do know this, but it's been several years. Besides, beheading Yang Cheng for what he did is enough. What's the point of you bringing it up now?" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled faintly: "But Old Jiang, some time ago, I suddenly discovered some key clues."

"Oh, what clue?" Jiang Yuan remained calm.

Anyway, so much time has passed. I don’t care what you discovered. Even if you tell me everything, I won’t admit it. That’s it!

"Old Jiang, it's already this time, and you still don't admit it?" Chen Liu narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Yuan smiled casually: "I didn't do it, so I definitely won't admit it."

"What if I have a way to prove that you did it?" Chen Liu suddenly asked.
