Chapter 225 Taking Wan County Lightly
"There is no one to report to the Commander-in-Chief"

"There is no one to report to the Commander-in-Chief"

A soldier on a horse galloped quickly through the streets and alleys of Wan County and the city.

"Explore again..."

"promise"

More than a hundred soldiers took orders suddenly.

Gan Ning stood outside the gate of Wan County, looking straight ahead: "Gan Cun Xiao"

"In" Gan Cunxiao took a step forward and shouted at the top of his voice.

Gan Ning ordered: "Lead our troops to rush into the city and take over the city wall and all defenses."

"No" Gan Cunxiao waved his hand, and roared away with 3 third-rank soldiers behind him.

stomping on...

The sound of heavy footsteps resounded in Wan County, and three hundred soldiers, led by Gan Cunxiao, poured into the city wall, occupying four city gates in a short time.

Gan Ning's hanging heart gradually relaxed.

It's not prudence just to be sure.

At this moment, a group of people rushed in front of them, and their eyes looked dark.

"General, you must decide for us."

"The bandit Chen Ce robbed Wan County, and all our food was looted"

"Seeing that winter is coming, what should I do?"

The voice came like a tide, and it rang in the ears of Gan Ning and others.

"Su Jing" saw countless people flocking to this place, Gan Ning frowned and raised his voice.

Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison: "Quiet!"

The hearts of the people trembled, and they quickly kept silent.

The look of fear and expectation intertwined in the eyes.

This army is their only hope. If they don't grab the food back, most of Wan County will be starved to death in winter.

"Your food has been looted by Chen Ce?" Gan Ning asked loudly when the people became quiet.

Against the backdrop of hundreds of soldiers in armor, Gan Ning's figure was elevated a bit, looking around with a majestic face.He was eager to know what happened in Wan County so that he could make countermeasures.

"The villain dare not lie, yesterday Chen Ce sent his bandits to evacuate our house and the county treasury," an old man tremblingly said loudly.

Gan Ning's brows tightened a bit: "Yesterday? That means the thief has been carrying it for a day?"

"Exactly," said the old man.

All the people looked over, with a look of anticipation on their faces.

stomping on...

The sound of dense footsteps rolled from behind, and the flag fluttered against the wind.

All the people were like frightened birds, showing vigilant expressions one by one.

Under the shining of the sun, the shining iron armor reflected the dazzling light. Hundreds of soldiers strode forward under the leadership of Jia Nian.

"Lord"

Gan Ning quickly turned around and bowed to Jia Nian who was riding on the horse.

"The bandits under Chen Ce's department have left, and our department has now taken over the city's walls and all the fortifications," Gan Ning said while bowing.

Jia Nian looked at the countless people and saw that most of them were old and weak, women and children, and his heart sank: "What are you doing here?"

"General Mingjian, our food was plundered by bandits, so we have no choice but to stay here," the old man said tremblingly.

Tens of thousands of people behind him held their breath and dared not speak out.

"The food was robbed by bandits?" Jia Nian repeated, with a slightly hesitant tone.

Lu Su, who was riding a war horse behind him, took the opportunity to remind: "The plan for now is to appease the people, and take a break to send troops to Chen Ce's troops."

"I am Jia Nian, the chief of Chaohu Lake, and now I accept the order of the prefect Lu Kang to requisition and become the county magistrate of Wan County," Jia Nian said loudly.

The people were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. Under the current situation, a county magistrate with troops came. It seems that the days of being infested by bandits are finally over.

"Meet the magistrate"

Tens of thousands of people saluted at the same time, shouting loudly.

"Since this county is the county magistrate of Wan County, it should protect the people of one side"

Jia Nian paused at this point, then raised his voice: "Your hands are short of food, the county will definitely not sit idly by."

"Lu Zijing," Jia Nian yelled, and directly ordered: "This county appoints you as the county magistrate to take charge of the internal affairs of Wan County and Chaohu Lake, and sit in the county."

Lu Su shouted: "No!"

"Sun Deqiu" Jia Nian shouted again.

Sun Deqiu, who was standing behind him, took a step forward: "Yes"

"Lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to garrison Wan County, and guard the place with a hundred giant shield soldiers under the command of Lu County Cheng," Jia Nian ordered loudly.

Sun De begged violently: "No"

"Immediately send a letter to Chaohu, and urgently dispatch the grain to the Wan County treasury to relieve the urgent need," Jia Nian said to Lu Su.

Lu Su nodded: "This subordinate will deal with this matter now."

"Soldiers are expensive, and Chen Ce's troops must be eliminated." Jia Nian paused for a while.

Looking forward: "Deng Dang, you lead a group of soldiers and go to Shiting to inquire."

"If you find the convoy transporting grain, take it back immediately, and then act according to plan," Jia Nian ordered.

Deng Dang bowed and saluted: "No"

Immediately afterwards, with a wave of his hand, he led three hundred soldiers with big knives roaring forward.

Seeing this, all the people stepped out of the way and retreated to the left and right.

"Gan Ning, you and Sun Deqiu hand over the defense, and then follow me to assist Shu County," Jia Nian continued to order.

Gan Ning said violently: "No!"

He looked forward, and then walked into the county seat.

Sun Deqiu led a hundred crossbowmen to follow closely behind.

Listening to this series of military orders, more than a thousand soldiers were dispatched at the same time.

A sense of peace of mind rose in the hearts of tens of thousands of people in Wan County, especially when the hundred giant shield soldiers were divided into four and stationed under the city gate, the feeling of peace of mind became a bit more at ease.

"Let's all go away, when the grain from Chaohu Lake arrives, the county will give porridge to us," Jia Nian said loudly.

Tens of thousands of people were overjoyed when they heard this: "Thank you county magistrate for your kindness"

"Go back!" Lu Su also shouted.

Tens of thousands of people looked at each other, then turned and left quickly.

They came here with the mentality of giving it a try, but they didn't expect the new county magistrate to be so forthright and solve the food problem directly.

As a poor person, what is there to be dissatisfied with.

Wancheng Jia's?Unexpectedly, this county magistrate is actually Jia's son.

"I will leave Zijing to you," Jia Nian said.

Lu Su bowed and saluted: "Don't worry, my lord, this county will not lose anything, even if Chen Ce detours and attacks with giant shield soldiers and three hundred crossbowmen, it is enough for them to return without success."

"Giant shield soldiers?"

Jia Nian's eyes fell on the twenty or so giant shield soldiers at the city gate.

These shield soldiers are special troops brought by Lu Su, and they are not counted in the Changhe town's general staff.

They are composed of young and strong fellows from Lu Su's hometown, and they are his private soldiers, and all the money is borne by Lu Zijing's mansion.

Private soldiers, this is something that people love and fear at the same time.

Jia Nian looked forward: "Let's go, let's go to the county government to have a look, and then rush to help Shu County to fight against Chen Ce."

"No," Lu Su replied, and strode forward following Jia Nian.
