Hu Rui, the governor of Xiangzhou, is now one with two heads. He is in chaos and turbulent under his rule. He presses the gourd and floats up. The emergency documents sent by the rule are piled up like mountains. But what can he do now? The county soldiers are only in this way. Just maintaining the order of the county town is too short and not enough to use. How can he withdraw his hands to quell the chaos? The county soldiers of each county below have long been in name only, and I am afraid that most of them have become the main force of the mobs. Even they are hungry.

There are large mulberry forests in Xiangzhou, countless weaving houses, and the warehouse is filled with mountain-like silk, but there is no food. In the past, silk was transported out and grain was transported into it. Silk was expensive and the grain was cheap. This time, it brought huge profits to Xiangzhou. But today he realized that silk really couldn't be eaten.

Now the Ming people blocked the blockade and could not transport silk, so even if they took money, they could not find a place to buy food.

There was a quelling army outside the county city, but this army did not think about quelling the riots in the entire county, but instead asked to enter the county city all day long, which made Hu Rui feel suspicious. He firmly refused to enter the city by Bian's troops.

The county town is still calm now. Even if there is something, the three thousand county soldiers are enough to calm down. What are they going to go to the city? But this Bian army was stationed outside the city and kept asking him for money and food, but he was worried about these chaos in life. Who would know what they would do? The food in the city was already insufficient, and they had to support the consumption of this army. One pound of grain would be reduced by one pound.

Extreme headache!

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and a man walked in and sat opposite Hu Rui. Hu Rui looked up and smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yang, can't you knock on the door and come in again? Every time, you will touch it in without saying a word in such a dark and lit atmosphere, which will easily scare me."

Yang Zhi laughed silently: "Mr. Hu is very brave. Can this little thing scare you?"

"Can you be scared!" Hu Rui looked at Yang Zhi, "It's not because you touched in like this, but because of your identity! You are the grandson of Shoufu Yang, the general of the Ming Dynasty, or the godfather of the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Any of these identities can scare the officials!"

Yang Zhi let out a roar, playing with the little sword with his fingers, looking at Hu Rui: "Mr. Hu, haven't made up his mind yet, have he made up his mind? If he drags on, there will be no peace in Xiangzhou. I'm afraid that something will happen to this seemingly peaceful county town."

"As long as Mr. Yang does not give orders, I think it will be very peaceful within the county town." Hu Rui smiled and said, "The county town is in chaos, which is not good for Mr. Yang, right? Hu did not think about what Mr. Yang said seriously, but Xiangzhou is too far from the Ming Dynasty. Look, I won't talk about the six counties in the east. There is a Bian army stationed outside the city."

Yang Zhi nodded, "Mr. Hu's words make sense!"

"I'll just say that Mr. Yang is the most reasonable." Hu Rui's face showed joy, "How could he be unreasonable when the origin of Yang's family is from the origin of his family? I told Mr. Yang very clearly that when the six eastern counties surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, then I, Hu Rui, did not say anything, immediately changed the banner at the top of the city."

"Okay." Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Today I will give the county magistrate a gift."

"Young Master Yang often touched me, but he never brought any gifts. He was frightened and brought a lot. Why did he suddenly become more polite this time?" Hu Rui looked at Yang Zhi with some suspicion.

Yang Zhi smiled strangely and clapped his hands. A ferocious head came into the door, and smiled and threw a wooden box to Yang Zhi. He grabbed the box and Yang Zhi slapped him on the big case in front of Hu Rui.

"It turns out that this time, not only Mr. Yang has come, but even your subordinates have come. It seems that I have to change the personal soldiers in my mansion again." Hu Rui smiled bitterly.

"It's the same if you change it any more. If you can't stop me, unless you use troops to fill your county magistrate's mansion one by one, then I have no choice." Yang Zhi said with a smile.

Hu Rui picked up the corner of his mouth and reached out to open the box. The next moment, he jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on, and screamed strangely.

The gift Yang Zhi brought was naturally not a good thing, but two bloody heads.

"Young Master Yang, what do you want to do?" Hu Rui was furious and reached out to pick up the hat that fell to the ground, patted the dust on it vigorously, and put it on his head again.

"Give gifts to the county magistrate. One of these heads is the head of the leader of the bandits in Wohu Mountain. This is the largest and strongest bandit in Xiangzhou. If I remember it well, it was two years ago. When they just started, the county magistrate suffered a loss in their hands." Yang Zhi said slowly.

Hu Rui walked through this bloody head. He was a civil servant and was really brave.

"You can vaguely see that it is the bandit leader." Hu Rui turned his head to look at Yang Zhi and said suspiciously: "We have no ability to wipe out thousands of bandits on Wohu Mountain, and Bian's army is unwilling to attack the mountain. How did Mr. Yang kill him alone? Assassinate?"

Yang Zhi shook his head, "It's not me who killed him, strictly speaking, it was Jiang Shangyan who killed him. I cooperated with Jiang Shangyan two days ago and suppressed them."

"General Jiang Shangyan came to Xiangzhou?" Hu Rui was happy at first, but then his face changed immediately. He looked at Yang Zhi and stammered: "You, you, Jiang Shangyan, you, you, you..."

Yang Zhi smiled and spread his hands: "Mr. Hu, do you understand now? Of course, there are not all 10,000 cavalrymen on the Yangtze River. However, he personally brought two thousand cavalry and had already entered Xiang County, and now he is at the mouth of Lianghe."

Hu Rui took a deep breath: "Jiang Shangyan has defected to you, then, Zeng Lin?"

"Is this more necessary?" Yang Zhi said lightly: "Mr. Hu, Bian Wushuang is now sending troops to attack Kunling County, and the battle is getting dark. Oh, I just received the news that a Bian Wushuang's command, named Bian Wenying, brought a group of people to assassinate the County Governor Zeng, but he was killed by the County Governor Zeng so that he was not left."

Hu Rui sat down with a strong breath, staring at Yang Zhi, his eyes rolling around, as if he was trying to guess Yang Zhi's words were a little true or false.

Yang Zhi raised his eyebrows, pointed to the wooden box, and said lightly: "The two people here are the bandit leaders of Wohu Mountain, and the other is the navy commander under Bian Wushuang. Both of them are surnamed Bian. Do the county magistrate understand? When I joined forces with Jiang Shangyan to kill them, this little Bian was sending a large amount of food and grass to Lao Bian. If we don't kill him, in less than two days, Lao Bian will use this batch of food to attract a large number of hungry people to your county town."

Hu Rui's face changed slightly.

"I guess, at that time, the county magistrate would definitely invite the Bian army outside the city to assist in defense because of insufficient troops in the city. Haha, the number of wolves in the house is this. As soon as the Bian army enters the city, the county town of Xiangzhou will have its surname Bian Luo!" Yang Zhixing smiled gloatingly.

"They are all surnamed Bian?" Hu Rui asked, pointing to the two heads in the box.

"Mr. Hu, do you think I will lie to you for such a big thing?" Yang Zhi restrained his smile and said seriously.

"What does Bian Wushuang want to do?"

"It goes without saying that of course, he would steal the six eastern counties, then control the four counties in Jiangnan, and then cut off one of them and call him kings and wait! At that time, he leaned against Qi State and was in a relationship with Qi State, so he was naturally not afraid that we would find a settlement." Yang Zhi said.

Hu Rui sighed, reached out to take off the hat from his head, and threw it heavily on the table.

"What else do you say about the country that is destroyed?"

"Minister, can you consider my proposal now?"

"What do you want me to do?" Hu Rui asked dejectedly.

"It's very simple. Now we must first kill Bian's troops outside the city." Yang Zhi said.

"To put it lightly, they are thousands of troops that can be used to fighting. Thousands of county soldiers in my city will be taken out of the city to fight them. In a blink of an eye, they will be swallowed up so that even a single hair will not be left."

"You forgot the Yan on the River?"

"Is Yan on the Jiang Shang really here?" Hu Rui asked.

Yang Zhi was a little annoyed: "Mr. Hu, do you think I am cheating on you?"

Hu Rui laughed dryly a few times. "Tell me your plan!"

"First of all, starting tomorrow, there will be many scouts and other people wandering around the county town, and then all kinds of rumors will fly all over the sky, such as a large number of hungry people rushing to the county town. At this time, the county magistrate was naturally a little panicked. When the county magistrate was afraid, of course he would invite Bian Wuxin outside the city to come to discuss defense matters. Of course, he would only invite Bian Wuxin into the city. His subordinates naturally had to wait outside."

"Teep and kill Bian Wuxin!"

"That's the reason!" Yang Zhi laughed and said, "When he took Bian Wuxin, the cavalry of Jiang Shangyan would also arrive in time. In the city, Yang Zhi also had some people, and he could also go out of the city to fight with Jiang Shangyan. Bian Wuxin's subordinates are indeed a good army. At that time, can the combat effectiveness of the Former Qin army be underestimated? But without the chief general, how many times can they jump?"

Hu Rui nodded. "What's the future?"

"It will be the same in the future. You will still be your Xiangzhou county magistrate. However, you can enter Xiangzhou. You can also get a mountain of silk here, and you can go out." Yang Zhi smiled and said, "When it comes time to the right time, you can follow the others to announce the change of flags and surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, even if I completely turn against Bian Wushuang, there will be Bian troops in Jiangnan. And if Bian Wushuang wins the six eastern counties and takes over Jinghu, I will be dead." Hu Rui looked at Yang Zhi and said.

"Do you think this is possible?" Yang Zhi smiled.

"The possibility is not great. But Mr. Yang, you have to tell me, how many people are there in this Xiangzhou County?"

Yang Zhi grinned and showed a white teeth: "Not many, not many, there are only a thousand fully armed soldiers."
