Chapter 123 How to play the horse bandit

The people in the city were released. The crime of rebellion was originally thought to be a death-death end, but now they are born from death. All the people in Fuyang City are grateful to Li Chen, and many people even secretly set up a temple for Li Chen.

The army will leave Fuyang tomorrow. Although the people are now stable, the military rations left by the rebels of Liu Bang in the city are distributed to the people. The food is enough for the people to support the disaster relief food to the Qin Dynasty, but Li Chen is still uneasy.

Fu Yang's city wall was smashed to pieces when Li Chen attacked the city, and the military rations left by Liu Bang's rebels also became a hot commodity. Now there are probably no bandits around him who don't want to come up and get a piece of the pie, but now they are just afraid that the Shenwu Army will not dare to act here. If Fu Yang's city wall is intact, the robbers and bandits come to the city gate and have no siege equipment, they can only sigh at the city. Now the city wall is broken, I am afraid that as long as the Shenwu Army goes away, the robbers and bandits all over the mountains and fields outside the city will rush forward.

Li Chen split the worries in his heart with Chen Ping. After listening quietly, Chen Ping was stunned for a cup of tea and said slowly: "Marty, although the county town has been robbed by the rebels now, although the county town has no financial resources to repair the city wall, the gentry and powerful people in this city have money. If they join forces to repair the city wall, the Fu Yang's city wall can be restored to its original state in less than a few days."

The gentry and local tyrants in this city were all fence-behind grass. Before Liu Bang's rebels, these people received news early. They pulled the money and grain from their families outside the city and hid them. When Liu Bang's rebels came, they asked for money and grain. They all cried and shouted about poverty. They even opened the money and grain treasury for Zhou Bo to see. Zhou Bo had never seen the world and was sent by these gentry and tyrants with some money and grain. Now that the Qin army was winning, these people pulled the money and grain hidden outside the city back. Now the bandits are all outside the city. Although the wall is broken, it is safer than outside the city. The money and grain are found by the bandits outside, but they are beaten up.

Li Chen naturally knew that these gentry, powerful and wealthy people were naturally chaotic, but now the Qin Dynasty is already in chaos, and it is absolutely impossible to force the collection of money and food. Now how to ask these people to voluntarily repair the city wall has become the key.

"Chen Ping, what do you think these gentry and powerful people are most afraid of now?" Li Chen suddenly raised his head and asked.

"What are you afraid of? But you are afraid of bandits. Otherwise, why would you try hard to transport the money and food back to the city?" Chen Ping replied without hesitation.

Looking at Li Chen's bright and energetic Kazilan's big eyes, Chen Ping immediately understood what he meant and ran to Zhao Que's ear and muttered quietly.

Li Chen mentioned it a little, Chen Ping was the perfect plan, and Zhao Que was the implementer of the plan. It is undoubtedly a blessing to have such subordinates.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the army had already gathered outside the city. The Qin army that won the first battle were all full of passion, and they were like little wolf lambs in spring. Faced with the unknown war, they were all "screaming" and screaming. Li Chen waved his hand, and Fan Kuai walked out of the city with a ox first.

When Li Chen took the army away, some people were happy and some were worried. The joy was naturally the gentry and powerful people in the city. When Li Chen was there, they were worried that Li Chen would ask them for money and food every day. Now that the army left, they naturally felt relieved. The worry was that the old county magistrate who had just taken office. After the army left, the army left a mess. With the city guards of hundreds of people just formed in the city, I don’t know if I could resist the robbers and bandits who beat Qiufeng.

As the army had just left the city for more than ten miles, Zhao Que took down more than a hundred soldiers who had changed into plainclothes, quietly found a forest, and came down. He just waited for the evening to do a big thing.

On that night, Fuyang County

In the dilapidated county government office, the old county magistrate sat in the main hall, and the new county magistrate and county magistrate sat on the left and right.

"Chen County Magistrate, the city guards can be patrolled." The old county magistrate frowned and worried.

"Oh, our Fu Yang has just experienced a great disaster, and there are very few young and strong guards who are willing to enter the city guards. Now there are only more than 500 guards in the city, so it's okay to keep guard if the bandits attack, I'm afraid they can't defend them." The county magistrate also said with a worried look. Fu Yang is now a troublesome situation where the horse is not fat and the soldiers are not strong.

The old county magistrate gritted his teeth, was stunned for a while and said cruelly: "Prince Chen, go to the city wall to keep an eye on it. If there are bandits attacking, they will tell them that the people in the city are barely living and robbing them. It is difficult for Zhang and Li families to have too much money and food."

This old county magistrate is also a wolf-killing. He knew that Fu Yang is a hot commodity that everyone wants to take a bite, and no one knows when bandits will come to attack. In order to protect the people in the city, he decisively sold the four major families in the city.

"Okay, that's it." As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a loss. County Magistrate Chen obeyed the old county magistrate's words.

That night, late at night, a team of more than a hundred masked horse bandits appeared under Fuyang City.

"Mr. Zhao, we can't play horse bandits either." A horse bandit muttered in front of the leader.

"Just just act in your true nature, remember to calm down." The leader said in a low voice. If this person's voice was good, it would be Zhao Que.

"Ha, listen to the defenders in the city. We are horse bandits. "A gust of wind" and quickly open the door and let us go in and rob." I saw a black horse in black standing under the city and shouting towards the city.

The city guards on the city were obviously a new recruit. This was the first time I saw the bandits. He was trembling and said tremblingly: "Brother robbers, the people are not living a good life. The four families of Zhang, Li and Qian have a lot of money and food. You go and grab them. There is also the broken walls that can be used anywhere. Can you leave us some face? Don't pass through the city gate?"

"You want face, do we have to worry about face in a gust of wind? We have to walk through the gate and open the door quickly. Don't let the four families you mentioned wait for a long time." The "Ma Bandit" who played the role of the city under the true nature shouted arrogantly.

"Okay, brother, I'll open the door for you now. Remember not to steal the people." The recruits plucked up their courage, for fear of angering the fierce bandits under the city.

"Okay, you have meat and eat vegetables." The "horse bandit" under the city said impatiently.

The new recruits on the city cooperated to open the city gate. The "horse bandits" under the city seemed to be passing by like a gust of wind, leaving only the rolling yellow earth and dust.

"My County Magistrate, this horse bandit is really a murderer." The new recruit said to the county Magistrate beside him.

"Damn it, why is the horse leader of this bandit leader exactly the same as the horse that Lord Zhao rode beside the Marquis?" the county magistrate muttered in a low voice.

"What kind of horses are? Don't the horses look the same?" the recruit said, scratching his head.

"Yes, what's the difference between a horse's appearance?" County Magistrate Zhang smiled mockingly. How could Lord Zhao be a bandit? It seems that he was too careless.

"Brother, we seem to have met our colleagues and are one step late." Outside the city, a group of bandits looked at the "horse bandits" who entered the city.
