Chapter 12 Three tasks
Although Liu Pan's words don't sound good, they are not unreasonable.
The power of the clan is huge and deeply rooted in Nanjun. If you want to kill the leaders of the fifty-five clan thieves, you must hit them with one blow.
Otherwise, if you don't do it well, it will be counterproductive and the other party will attack you.
Liu Qi consoled him: "This matter seems dangerous, but as long as you plan it properly, you won't go wrong. The key depends on how you act."
There were no waves on Huang Xu's sallow face, but his heart was ups and downs at the moment, just like the waves crashing on the shore.
Liu Qi had just informed Huang Xu of his identity.
Huang Xu was horrified, but also happy.
Being able to make friends with the governor was something he never dared to dream about.
This is tantamount to dragging his life directly to another level.
Not to mention that Liu Qi asked him to kill the clan at this moment, even if he asked him to kill the entire clan, he would never show mercy.
"Xu Xu is willing to obey the orders of the young master and ask the young master for your instructions." Huang Xu made his attitude clear seriously.
Liu Qi said with admiration: "Brother Huang is indeed a loyal person!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Pan again.
When Liu Pan saw Liu Qi looking at him, he muttered helplessly: "Look what I'm going to do? I've gone to such trouble with you, how can I regret it? If you have something to do, just give me your order, and I'll just give up my life."
Liu Qi was very moved when he heard this.
Although in this era of chaos, dangers and crises are everywhere, with Huang Xu and Liu Pan, two righteous men who are willing to go through fire and water with him, Liu Qi feels more confident at this moment.
"Don't worry, it won't be you or me who will lose our lives, it will only be those clan thieves who will die."
Liu Pan rolled his eyes: "Don't trick me as you promised!"
Liu Qi smiled and opened a roll of silk on the long desk, which roughly outlined the terrain near Yicheng Post House.
"According to the news sent by Kuai Yue, Yan Jun's enfeoffment to the five clans has caused the Bei, Zhang and Su clan chiefs to lose their guard. In addition, the Cai and Kuai clans are advising each other from the side. The heads of the three Xiangyang clans will definitely be there on the day of the banquet. But to accomplish this, there are still three important tasks that need to be done by the three of us separately."
"Which three?"
Liu Qi said sternly: "The first is to capture Yicheng County Magistrate Li Zheng! Yicheng is under his control, and all the residents in the county are ordered by him, so we have to capture and control Li Zheng before the banquet begins. Yi County, in order to remain in an invincible position."
Liu Pan suddenly said: "How to act?"
"Before the banquet, I will ask Kuai Yue to come to Yicheng in advance to meet with Li Zheng. Kuai Yue is an important person from the five major clans. If he meets with Li Zheng, he will not fail to show up. When the time comes, he will capture Li Zheng in one fell swoop. Go to the county office and seize his seal and ribbon..."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked at Huang Xu and said: "However, Li Zheng is the king of a county after all. There are at least five or six attendants around him on weekdays, and if the news is not leaked, he must not seize power too early. He needs to be at the banquet On that day, a strong man was needed to assist Kuai Yue."
When Huang Xu saw Liu Qi looking at him, he immediately understood Liu Qi's intention.
"This matter is all on Xu! Not to mention he brought five or six guards, even ten or twenty, it doesn't matter!"
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Liu Qi nodded appreciatively and added: "Kuai Yue said to his letter that as long as Li Zheng is restrained, with his reputation as the Kuai family and the power of his words, the rest of the family will not have to worry about it, and he will win the Yicheng County Department.
It’s not difficult.”
After that, Liu Qi looked at Liu Pan again and said: "The second important thing is to deal with the entourage brought by each clan. There are at least thousands of entourage from hundreds of families. Although these thousands of people are not at the table, they can
Once something happens to the post house, these thousand people will be the biggest variable, so we must find a way to contain them."
Liu Pan's expression was slightly excited.
He knew that this matter must be left to him.
Liu Qi said slowly: "Brother can lead the clan's three hundred soldiers to control the more than a thousand clan chiefs' entourage."
Liu Pan was a little confused when he heard this.
Why don't you give me more people?
He said with some embarrassment: "Is it difficult for three hundred people to control more than a thousand people?"
Liu Qi explained for him: "It may sound impossible at first, but these more than a thousand people are not an army, but more than a hundred families' attendants gathered temporarily. There is no unified order, the good and the bad all have their own ideas, and half of the clan leaders are at the banquet.
I am close to the Kuai and Cai families. On the day of the banquet, my brother only needs to have strong soldiers from my clan carry sharp swords to show his power."
"I will ask Cai and some important people from the Kuai and Kuai clans to go with you. Then you will either threaten or appease them, use both kindness and power to make those attendants dare not act rashly, and then... ignore them."
Liu Pan took a deep breath and said: "Okay! Let's give it a try and I will do my best."
After giving instructions to Liu Pan and Huang Xu, Liu Qi sighed and said with some embarrassment: "There is only one important thing left."
Huang Xu seemed to have guessed what Liu Qizhi was thinking: "Young Master is worried that the people at the banquet will be difficult to deal with?"
Liu Qi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Those fifty-five sect thieves are probably many who are proficient in martial arts. There are fewer people arranged during the banquet, so we can't kill them, but if there are more people arranged, I'm afraid they will be killed beforehand."
The flaw will be seen."
Liu Pan suddenly said: "So we can't deploy too many people and can only use a few warriors?"
Liu Qi said: "Yes, we do have a candidate now, but I'm afraid it's not enough."
Huang Xuruo realized something and said: "Young Master is referring to family strictness, right?"
"Exactly...but how can Huang Sima alone kill dozens of thieves?"
Huang Xu thought for a while and said: "When Jun Yan fought against the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng, he had eighteen followers under his command. They were all close confidants of Jia Yan in the army. They were close friends of life and death. They were all proficient in martial arts and mastered the sword.
He is good at riding and shooting, and now he serves in various counties in Nanjun. His military position is not high, but he is just a team leader... If these people are allowed to go back to their hometowns, they will not attract the attention of the clan thieves. If there are these ten
Eight strong men will help us, not to mention a hundred and eighty sect leader, even if there are twice as many, it won’t be a big worry."
Liu Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Qi naturally trusts the people under Huang Zhong.
He cupped his hands to Huang Xu and said, "For this matter, I will ask Brother Huang to go to Linju personally and ask Huang Sima for help. When the matter is completed, I will ask Mr. Yan to make use of those eighteen warriors."

…
After Huang Xu left Yicheng, Liu Qi stayed in Yicheng as usual and read Jingzhou's important official documents every day, pretending that nothing had happened, but he was tight on the outside and kept secretly communicating with Kuai Yue.
A few days later, Liu Pan quietly told Liu Qi that Huang Xu and Huang Zhong and his son had arrived in Yicheng and were waiting on the outskirts of the county.
Liu Qi found a reason to leave the city, and met Huang Zhong and his son after making sure that there was no secret sentry from Li Zheng.
Huang Zhong was accompanied by eighteen warriors who were as close as brothers to him.
But to be honest, the friendship between these people and Huang Zhong was beyond Liu Qi's imagination!
Huang Zhong could summon them all with just a piece of letter and without even stating the reasons.
And there are many of them.
But if you think about it carefully, the Han Dynasty was a patriarchal society to a certain extent, and many people among the people had the idea of admiring heroes. These human ethics, such as revenge against fellow villagers and loyalty to each other among comrades in the army, were not the same in the countryside.
It is indeed the mainstream thought.
Sometimes it can even override Han law.
Huang Zhong said to Liu Qi: "Huang has all eighteen old friends here and is willing to follow the arrangements of the governor."
Liu Qi looked back and forth at the nineteen strong men and said with emotion: "With nineteen warriors here, things can be done! Qi didn't want to say more, just one sentence. After this matter is decided, Liu Shijun and a certain
, I will not treat you lightly!"
After saying that, Liu Qi turned to look at Liu Pan.
Liu Pan had already ordered his men to bring a cart of goods in an ox cart beforehand and laid it out in front of everyone.
"These treasures are not a gift from me to thank you, but are used by the troops to settle their families. Once the arrangements are made, you can no longer worry about it and give it a go. Please don't refuse."
Those people looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they all saw agreement and peace of mind in each other's eyes.
This young gentleman, as Huang Hansheng said, is a scholar and gentleman who behaves with great grace.
When I was young, I saw nineteen people holding their hands together and shouting together:
Chapter completed!
