Chapter 22 Tian Dan's recovery (Part 2)
Tian Dan's laughter woke them up. They both looked at Tian Dan in confusion. After a while, Tian Dan woke up from his joy. He looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I have a way to get rid of it."
Get rid of the county magistrate Xu Yuan and control Di County. As long as Di County is in our hands, I can appeal to the people of Qi to regain the country of Qi and resist the violent Qin Dynasty."
Seeing Tian Dan say this, the two of them looked at Tian Dan excitedly and asked, "Brother, please tell me, what can I do?"
Tian Dan thought for a while, sorted out his words, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow we will tie up a young boy, falsely accuse him of being a spy from Zhou City, and take him to the county government office. The county magistrate Xu Yuan will not be suspicious. At that time, we will take the opportunity to kill him."
Xu Yuan can eliminate future troubles forever."
After hearing this, both of them were surprised and said: "I can kill the county magistrate, but what can I do?"
Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, Tian Dan continued to laugh and said: "I have my own clever plan to control the situation in the city. You two worthy brothers, just work with me to kill the county magistrate immediately. I will arrange the rest tomorrow."
When the two of them saw that Tian Dan was being mysterious, they couldn't ask further questions, so they just nodded and made promises and left.
...
In the early morning, the streets and alleys were filled with soldiers of the Qin army. They posted notices and recruited young men from every village and household to join the army in preparation for fighting against the bandits.
For a time, Di County fell into chaos, and the people were extremely dissatisfied. In recent years, the Qin State had imposed corvees, and every household had been deeply affected. Now, it is necessary to recruit troops to fight the enemy again, and there are more than 30,000 bandits.
This frightened many people. Xiaodi County could not stop the bandits from advancing eastward.
However, conscription was just a strategy, not a genuine attempt to fight against the bandits. Instead, Tian Dan stepped up recruitment efforts in order to increase dissatisfaction and arouse public outrage.
At this time, on the top of the city, Tian Dan, accompanied by three captains, inspected the city defenses. The city was extremely well defended and hundreds of Qin troops were patrolling. Tian Dan pretended to praise the three captains and praised them for their good leadership.
The three captains all smiled modestly and said, "Thank you, General, for the compliment."
Tian Dan changed the subject, pointed to the area near the city gate, and ordered: "The war is about to begin. No one is allowed to enter the city to prevent spies from entering the city."
One of the school captains was slightly embarrassed: "But, it is the magistrate's wish to open the city gate."
Tian Dan looked slightly displeased and shouted: "How outrageous! The county magistrate gave an order yesterday that I am solely responsible for the defense of Di County. If you dare to disobey my military order, you will be executed without mercy!"
The captain was so frightened that he knelt down on one knee and said, "General, I don't dare!"
Tian Dan ignored the captain and strode forward. At this time, the captain looked a little embarrassed. He knew that Tian Dan must be angry, so he had to shout to the city: "Send the order, close the door, no one is allowed."
Enter the city!"
The city was boiling, and some people who came from nearby villages to enter the city were locked out. They begged, cried, and yelled, but the Di County city gate was tightly closed, completely ignoring their life and death. Many people thought they were unlucky, so they had to
Set foot on the horse road and head towards other nearby counties.
At this time, the sun was rising, and several fast horses were galloping on the streets. There were very few pedestrians in the streets at this time. The people were already full of fear of the coming war. Many people began to stock up on food, hide in their homes, and pray to the gods.
Di County should not fall.
Several fast horses quickly arrived in front of a government office. They were led by a middle-aged officer. He was Tian Dan. Behind him were several of Tian Dan's cronies. They had been following Tian Dan for some years. At this time, several people walked quickly.
Tian Dan walked up the steps in front of the mansion and reached the door. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door knocker.
An old man opened the door. He leaned over and took a look. He recognized the person as Tian Dan. The old man stepped aside and said with a smile, "It turns out to be General Tian."
Tian Dan cupped his hands and smiled: "Is Mr. Gao Ling at home?"
"Yes, yes." The old man nodded with a smile, stepped aside, and Tian Dan walked in quickly.
After walking through a long corridor, Tian Dan came to the living room. There was no one in the living room. Tian Dan walked to the soft mat and sat down. On the table beside him, there was a cup of steaming tea. It seemed that Tian Xiangang
Left not long ago.
The old man had already gone to inform Tian Xian, and Tian Dan had to wait patiently. At this time, a maid came in and served a cup of tea. Tian Dan smiled and nodded, and the maid left. Soon, a strong voice sounded outside the door:
"What kind of wind brought you here?"
When Tian Dan saw Tian Xian walking in slowly, he couldn't help but stand up and said with a smile, "Tian Dan is here and has met Lord Gaoling."
Tian Xian waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's all in the past. Don't call me Lord Gaoling again in the future."
Tian Dan had more respect for Tian Xian, the former Gaoling Lord of Qi. At this time, the two of them took their seats. Tian Dan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Now the world is raging with war, and all kinds of armies have risen one after another, and they are all working hard to regain their old ways and regain their old ways.
How can we, the Qi State, fall behind in rejuvenating our motherland? Therefore, I came here specifically today, hoping to get your help."
After hearing this, Tian Xian's eyes lit up. He did not expect that the inconspicuous Di County Guard in front of him would be so courageous. After a long silence, Tian Xian was surprised and said: "I don't know, what can we help you with?"
When Tian Dan saw Tian Xian speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the jailer Tian Jia. I hope you can persuade Tian Jia to join us in the uprising."
Tian Xian was silent. He did not reply to Tian Dan immediately. Tian Dan knew that Tian Xian needed to consider it and was weighing the pros and cons. At this time, Tian Dan said again: "If we can overthrow the magistrate of Di County and hold high the banner of Qi, we will surely succeed.
With responses from all directions, Linzi and Jiaodong can be determined!"
This time, Tian Xian did not remain silent. He raised his head and looked at Tian Dan, hesitating slightly, but in the end, he still said: "Convince Tian Jie that I can give it a try, but you have to tell me that we
What can I do for you?"
"As long as Tianjia is willing to release the prisoners, join the army, and guard the city gate with Lord Gaoling to prevent mutiny, I will have the opportunity to kill the county magistrate and control Di County. At that time, we started an uprising in Di County and spread the word
, a big thing can be decided!" After saying that, Tian Dan looked at Tian Xian and saw that he was slightly hesitant, so he continued: "I have controlled the city gate army, but I am afraid that some of the loyal generals of Xu Yuan will not be willing to surrender.
I committed a crime, so I asked Lord Gaoling for your help."
This time, Tian Xian did not hesitate. He stood up resolutely and said decisively: "Okay, I will go visit Tian Jia right now."
...
In the county government office, several maids were dressing Xu Yuan. Today, he was going to inspect the city defenses to see how Tian Dan's defenses were going. Moreover, he also needed to boost the morale of the soldiers. After all, Zhoushi's soldiers and horses were far away from Di.
County, only a few hundred miles away.
A soldier from the government hurriedly walked in, saluted Xu Yuan, and said loudly: "Sir, General Tian has captured a scout and is waiting for you in the front office."
When Xu Yuan heard that Tian Dan had caught the spy, he couldn't help but laugh. With the enemy's scouts, he could torture him and ask about Zhou Shi's details and army intelligence. Thinking of this, Xu Yuan ordered: "Tell Tian Dan, I will immediately
Just there.”
After the soldiers left, the maids also dressed Xu Yuan and put on his official hat. Xu Yuan quickly walked out of the house.
In the front office, a young man in ragged clothes was kneeling on the ground, his mouth had been blocked by a rag. At this time, he was "whimpering" and wanted to speak, but Tian Dan and others did not give him a chance to speak.
Rapid footsteps sounded at the door, and Xu Yuan strode in. At this time, Tian Dan, Tian Heng and Tian Rong knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I have met the county magistrate."
Xu Yuan waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up. At this time, his eyes fell on the scout. Seeing that he was quite embarrassed, he couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Has he ever confessed?"
"This boy is very stubborn. He was beaten five times and refused to say anything." Tian Dan laughed and said, but Xu Yuan became interested. He walked over, pulled the rag from the young man's mouth, and scolded: "Say,
Where are Zhou Shi's troops now?"
The young man cried a little and said anxiously: "Sir, I am not a scout, please let me go!"
Xu Yuan was slightly surprised. He turned back to look at Tian Dan and said displeasedly: "What's going on?"
Tian Dan stepped forward, slapped the boy, and cursed: "You're a bitch, you still refuse to admit it?"
Just as the young man was about to speak, Tian Dan drew out his long sword and said angrily: "If you don't say anything anymore, I will kill you!"
The young man was so frightened that his pants were wet. He was about to speak when Xu Yuan laughed and said: "General Tian, don't be so impatient. Let's keep him for a few days and then torture him."
Tian Dan sang the promise, raised the scabbard with his left hand, and was about to sheath the sword. Xu Yuan also turned around and walked towards the publican, but at this moment, a loud roar sounded: "Dog thief, take your life!"
Xu Yuan was startled, and turned around to look. Where the white light flashed, Tian Dan's sword had already slashed at him, and Xu Yuan's head rolled to the ground.
Tian Dan picked up Xu Yuan's head, held it high and said with a smile: "Xu Yuan is dead. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Tian Heng and Tian Rong drew their swords in their hands. Several of Tian Dan's cronies had already rushed out to kill outside the county government office. When some government soldiers saw Tian Dan killing the county magistrate, they surrounded them one after another. Everyone inside the county government office
A fierce fight broke out.
After about half a stick of incense, Tian Dan and others rushed out of the county government office. Tian Dan handed Xu Yuan's head to a close aide and ordered: "Hang the city cao to show to the public!"
...
In the afternoon, a small-scale battle took place on the upper floor of Di County. Some generals who supported Xu Yuan wanted to kill Tian Dan, but they were suppressed by Tian Dan's generals and the prisoners recruited by Tianjia. They were killed and their heads were rolling.
On the wall.
In the center of the city cao, next to the leader of Xu Yuan, Tian Dan was dressed in leather armor, with a green cloak on his back, and a long sword in his hand. Below, the people of Di County were surrounded, numbering no less than 20,000.
"The tyranny of the Qin State exists in name only. Rebel armies from all walks of life have risen one after another. The six kingdoms have revived and the world is in turmoil. We, Tian Dan, are willing to sacrifice our blood to establish an alliance to restore the Qi Dynasty and promote the power of our army!"
Suddenly, the people cheered long live. At this time, Tian Dan said again: "From today on, we will restore the uniform system, uphold the green color, and emphasize etiquette!"
"Long live!"
The next day, four recruitment points were set up in Tiandan in Di County. Many young men came here to join the Qi army.
The city gates were also opened on this day, and people who came to seek refuge poured in. Tian Dan also took the opportunity to open a warehouse to store grain, and distributed part of the grain to the victims, and distributed houses to them so that they could live safely in Di County.
