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

Jiang Yuan stared at Li Hu in amazement and asked suspiciously, "Li Hu, are you going to go out and fight him?"

"Li Hu has made it big! Come on up quickly, I'll cheer for you from up there!" Zhao Kai spoke directly.

Li Hu looked at Qingmu below with a faint look of disdain.

"Who said I was going to go down and fight him?"

Jiang Yuan felt a toothache. You don’t dare to go down, why are you being so stubborn?

Aoki below was also obviously confused: "You won't fight me? Then why are you asking?"

Li Hu looked Qing Mu in the eye and said seriously, "Yes, I can't beat you, but I just won't accept it!"

"Is that a problem? Can't I?"

Aoki's face twitched violently, he couldn't respond to this.

"Then let's find someone who dares to come down and fight! It's up to you whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight."

Jiang Yuan leisurely grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Wang Gang's hand and said, "Don't you horse thieves rely on your high mobility to rob people along the way?"

I have the advantage of time and location in the city. Only a fool would go out and fight you.

Seeing that Qingmu had no idea what to do, the second leader Gerry immediately stood up. He waved his hands back and forth, and the many horse thieves behind him immediately took action, vaguely forming a circle.

"On behalf of the barbarian tribes on the grassland, I challenge Taiping County of the Great Duan Dynasty. Now our formation has been formed. Do you dare to come down and break it?" Gary looked at the people upstairs proudly.

Based on his experience of dealing with the cities of the Great Duan Dynasty many times.

No city can withstand such a provocation. After all, the Great Duan Dynasty occupied the Central Plains and had always looked down on them. If they were provoked like this, every one of them would come out and try to break the formation.

The faces of Zhao Kai, Wang Jue and Kong Xuan immediately darkened. After provoking him in front of the battle, it would be unreasonable not to go out and start a fight.

Jiang Yuan's heart tightened, fearing that the three guys would just rush out like that.

"Wait, you're challenging us?"

"That's right! Please ask the Great Duan Dynasty's Taiping County to break the formation!" Gary shouted again.

Jiang Yuan stood up calmly: "What did you say last time?"

"Please break the formation?" Gary was confused. What on earth was this guy trying to do?

"Not this one, but the one before it."

"The Qingshui tribe is setting up an array here to challenge Taiping County of the Great Duan Dynasty." Gary said impatiently.

Jiang Yuan patted his chest confidently: "Oh, so that's how it is."

"Then please come in." A hint of coldness flashed in Gary's eyes. As long as this dog official dared to open the city gate, the horse thieves who had been prepared long ago would immediately occupy the city gate.

"Please? Please what?" Jiang Yuan looked at Gary in confusion.

"Just get this straight. Just because you challenge us, do we have to accept your challenge?"

"I don't accept this challenge. Okay, go stay there."

Gary opened his mouth wide and looked at Jiang Yuan with a puzzled look.

Don't accept the challenge? How can you still play like this? Where is the dominance of your Central Plains Dynasty?

Jiang Yuan sat back in his chair leisurely: "What an idiot, you actually set up a defensive formation and let others break it. I said I would sit here and wait for you to attack the city, why don't you come?"

Gary opened his mouth, then shook his head and walked in front of Aoki.

"Brother, this guy is too shameless. There's no way to provoke him out."

Qing Mu glared fiercely at Jiang Yuan on the city gate tower, then waved his hand: "Let's go!"

"Brother, are you just leaving like this?" Gary asked unwillingly. In the battle of Tai'an County, they lost nearly a hundred people. Don't they really want to take revenge?

"He won't come out, and we are not good at attacking the city. What can we do? Are we going to freeze here? We'd better take advantage of the fact that the other counties are not prepared and grab more things." Qingmu said calmly.

Gerry angrily cracked his whip a few times and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as he left, a mocking voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hey! I'm scared! I'm running away! What a coward!"

"What? What the hell are you talking about?" Gary turned his head instantly and stared at Jiang Yuan upstairs angrily.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and pointed at Gary, saying, "Alright, I know you don't have the courage to stay here any longer. Get out of here now. If you don't dare to fight, then don't fight. I understand."

"What a pity. I used to hear that the men on the grassland were very brave, but now it seems that this is just the case. Alas..." After saying that, Jiang Yuan shook his head and sighed, looking extremely disappointed.

This time, not only Gerry, but even Aoki, who had a calm expression before, had red eyes.

"You bastard official! If you don't come out, what does it have to do with us?" Aoki shouted loudly.

Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no."

"Think about it, what is the status of both of us? You came to fight us, and now we don't go out to fight, so you just leave."

"Why don't you just attack the city? Then we'll have to fight even if we don't want to?"

"In the final analysis, you still think that you can't defeat us by attacking the city. If you are a coward, then you are a coward. Why don't you dare to admit it?"

Qing Mu looked at Jiang Yuan with a gloomy expression. What a twisted logic! What a twisted logic!

But unfortunately, many of the subordinates behind him were really provoked by these few words.

"Captain, give the order. We must defend our dignity even if it means death!"

"Let them know that none of the grassland warriors are cowards!"

As the voices requesting to fight rang out, Aoki's face became more and more gloomy. Should he fight or not?

If we act on impulse and let these people start fighting, the result can be imagined.

But if we don’t fight, what will we do with the frustrations in the hearts of these people?

If there is a mutiny...

Aoki shuddered and didn't dare to think any further.

Jiang Yuan on the city wall showed a wicked smile, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I pursue; when the enemy camps, I harass; when the enemy tires, I attack."

As long as these horse thieves are left at the city gate, within three or four days, they will be exhausted.

By then, the horses under the crotch of these horse thieves will all be theirs.

The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the happier he became. Cavalry, this was cavalry, the most mobile of the three major arms, and relatively speaking, the strongest in combat power.

There are more than two hundred horses here, all of which are domesticated war horses and cannot be bought even with money.

With this in mind, Jiang Yuan immediately signaled Ma Zhi to step forward. This guy not only had mean ideas, but also had mean words, which was perfect for provoking these horse thieves.

"Please leave it to me, sir. I promise to make sure they stay here and suffer from hunger and cold!" Ma Zhi puffed out his chest proudly, and then shouted at the bottom of the city wall.

"Aoki! Damn you! Gerry, you're staring at your dad..."

Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead. This guy's firepower was too fierce.

Leaving Ma Zhi on the city wall, Jiang Yuan slowly hurried back to the county government office. No matter what, if he wanted the horse thieves' war horses, he would have to fight with them next, so he had to be fully prepared.

As soon as Jiang Yuan stepped into the lobby, a cold long knife was immediately placed on his neck.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
