The county magistrate is a county military officer who is in charge of the military power of the county town. However, this place is a small county, and all the soldiers in the county only have one team of soldiers.

According to the Tang Dynasty military system, one team had three gangs, each gang of 50 people, so one team of 150 soldiers.

There were only 150 soldiers in the county, but Guo Ziyi brought two hundred people, all of them were cavalry and black armored iron cavalry.

The 150 soldiers were frightened and urinated.

He didn't even have the courage to pick up a weapon.

So Guo Ziyi and others rushed in and easily took out the county magistrate.

This county magistrate is just a typical character of a warrior. He only interrogates one or two sentences and explains everything clearly.

"You ask the bandits, right? That's right, it was secretly raised by our county government."

"Although the world is already in chaos, the government is still the greatest force. Without the government as the backstage, the bandits would not have developed at all."

"You want to ask about the specific inside story?"

"Okay, I'm going to die tonight. Do something good before I die and tell you about the ways to raise bandits in the government."

"The number of bandits exceeds one thousand, and the power can roam the houses and houses, slaughter the villages, roar and go, and even dare to fight with the officers and soldiers. When encountering them, they draw their swords and fight."

"But this is just a superficial fight, and in secret, we have reached a tacit understanding. After all, bandits are supported by the government, so how could they really work hard with the officers and soldiers? Sometimes the number of bandits is not enough to do something big, and the officers and soldiers will be ordered to dress up as bandits."

"But, this kind of big-scale bandits is all about one force, such as the marching chief of the Tang Dynasty's ten roads, or the powerful governors of several states at the same time. In addition, the same is true for the aristocratic families at the level of the clan."

"For example, the five surnames and seven hopes used to be secretly raising bandits. And the number of people is more than 1,000, and even 20,000 to 30,000 people dare to secretly raise them. They are of the same level, with the qualifications and confidence to raise so many bandits."

"It's actually no different from a soldier. Zhuolu is a hero in troubled times, and everyone is waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the opportunity comes, heroes will inevitably rise."

"Aren't our royal family in the Tang Dynasty also a noble family at first? When the world was in chaos, we took advantage of the situation and eventually became the master of the world?"

"The so-called royal family, the nonsense royal family used to secretly raise bandits, but they only succeeded in the end."

I have to say that this county lieutenant has a very good personality. Since he decided to confess, it is like pouring beans on bamboo tubes. No matter what the dark inside story is, this guy reveals it all.

"The situation I just mentioned is only qualified to do it. The next level is the state-level forces..."

"The state power has about 500 to 1,000 brigades, and the area that has ravaged no more than 300 miles, and it is basically only nestled on its own territory."

"Furtherwards, there are thieves at the county level. The number of thieves is about 300,000, and the fewer thieves may be one or two hundred. Because they are not strong enough, the raging area is only in the county. And they have to hide in the mountains on weekdays, and they will be called out when they rob. After robbing money and grain, the officials divide up 70% and reward the remaining 30% to the thieves, which is considered as the collection of goods they provide for their work and efforts..."

"In the last situation, there are only a few dozen or a dozen bandits. These are small bandits, and they are usually people who cannot survive. They dare not make a big fuss, just do a little blocking of the road, and do not hurt lives. They are already very happy to grab some money and food."

"But the government suppresses bandits to suppress such small thieves, because these small thieves are not raised by the government at all. Since they are not raised by their own bandits, they must suppress them and exchange them for their achievements, right?"

"I have said so much, and you probably are already full of anger. Come on, give me a knife. For my sake, it is best to leave a whole body for me."

"I see that you are a strong man. Although you don't know which immortal you are, the two hundred black armored iron cavalry are not a joke. Even if you are not under the command of a marching chief, you are at least private soldiers of a wealthy clan."

"I will not complain if I die if I am strong and I am weak, so I should do this. When I bully the people, I will also rely on my power to be domineering. So this is retribution, and I think very clearly."

I really understand it very clearly.

And he has a very bare personality.

But Guo Ziyi did not wave the knife immediately, but slowly bent down to look at him, and suddenly asked, "You just said that the county-level bandits can only be raised by three or four hundred, why can you raise more than a thousand people?"

The county magistrate was stunned and said in surprise: "What? One thousand people? What are you kidding? How can we have this ability for a small official like us?"

Guo Ziyi was also stunned and said in a deep voice: "But tonight in Niujia Village outside the city, I will definitely kill more than a thousand bandits. They call themselves Shishan Village, with a radius of one hundred miles..."

The county magistrate's face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

The guy screamed suddenly, his tone was filled with deep sorrow and anger, and he said, "Damn, Shishanzhai, that's not the bandit we raise at all. He is under the command of the Jiedushi Fanyang, and is just a branch hidden in our county."

Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed sternly.

Fanyang Jiedushi?

An Lushan?

Now it is the third year of Tianbao. Has this person quietly started to make arrangements?

This place is two thousand miles away from Fanyang, but only one thousand miles away from Chang'an. He hidden a force here as a bandit, probably not as simple as grabbing some food.

Could it be that he is going to rebel now?

...

The county magistrate's head was cut off, and his eyes were filled with aggrievance before he died.

It turned out that the bandits they raised were not discovered, but were implicated by Shishanzhai. If there were any regret medicine in the world, this county magistrate would definitely want to take a lot of food.

He really regretted it before he died, regretting that he shouldn't have been so straightforward. If he had known that the person who committed the crime was Shishanzhai, he would not have admitted that he had raised a bandit even if he had beaten to death.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret, and his ending was only one knife.

At this time, the night was already deep, and Guo Ziyi's face became deeper. He slowly retracted the horizontal knife back to the scabbard, then looked at Li Guangbi and others, and said, "There are a few county officials next. Who is itchy? Hurry up and don't waste too much time. From now on, our caravan should speed up the journey. Return to Langya early and do something early..."

Li Guangbi heard his urgent tone and couldn't help but come up to him and said, "Boss, are you worried about An Lushan?"

Guo Ziyi nodded slightly and lowered her voice: "As the governor of the border town, there is a soldier hidden a thousand miles from Chang'an. If you were him, what was your intention to do this?"

Li Guangbi also lowered his voice and said, "If I were him, I would definitely be ill-behaved. Otherwise, a military governor would not be in need of sending troops to rob money and grain. The military governor allowed to collect taxes independently, and he could collect taxes on his territory. The military governor of the nine major vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, and no vassal state would be short of this little money and grain."

Guo Ziyi slowly breathed and said in a deep voice: "From tomorrow, the caravan will accelerate its journey. We must return to Langya quickly and then recruit our soldiers."

The signs of rebellion in the feudal states have emerged, and he must become stronger as soon as possible.

He wanted to become the tenth governor of the Tang Dynasty before An Lushan rebelled.
