Chapter 486
"What a shitty county magistrate!"
Outside the gate of Wen County, the county magistrate finally dared to speak loudly as he looked at Tang Hai's team going away.
He stamped his feet repeatedly and became a county magistrate without any troops.
All the former yamen runners followed Tang Hai away.
In the entire county, nine out of ten houses were empty, all swept away by Tang Hai.
Not only did Tang Haimu lose ordinary people, but he also organized a grievance meeting in the city.
It was used to expose the oppression of the people by the wealthy families in Wen County.
Then he wiped out the clans and landlords who were rich and unkind.
In the whole city, only two wealthy families with good reputations were left.
No one else could be spared.
The evidence was conclusive, and it was useless for those clans and landlords to defend themselves.
Tang Hai's butcher knife fell, and his body and head were separated on the spot.
Tang Hai's actions made the people of Wen County scramble to follow Tang Hai.
No people wanted to stay in this place.
"Alas!"
The magistrate of Wen County sighed and went back to his house alone to pack up his things.
It will be really difficult to find a place to stay in the future.
"Damn it!"
"Tang Hai actually doesn't want me..."
The magistrate who walked into the city alone was very depressed.
...
"What? The Mi family rebelled and occupied Xia Pi City?!"
During the march, Tao Qian, who received the news, almost fell off his horse.
Originally, many soldiers of Xuzhou were killed in the Luoyang meeting.
Liu Bei went to attack Tang Hai's camp outside the city, but he didn't get any oil or water, and many soldiers were killed and injured.
The team whose morale had not recovered heard that Xia Pi City had changed hands.
Even the whole Xuzhou was occupied by Mi Zhu.
This made Tao Qian angry.
"Merchants are really untrustworthy!"
Tao Qian looked up to the sky and cursed.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Tao Qian, who was already quite old, was already very tired after days of marching.
Suddenly, he got the bad news and was furious.
"Puff!"
After a few violent coughs, Tao Qian spat out a mouthful of thick blood.
He fell off his horse.
"My Lord Governor!"
Liu Bei, who was standing by, quickly got off his horse and ran to Tao Qian to help him up.
However, Tao Qian was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
It was obvious that he was dying.
Liu Bei's mind flashed.
Other Xuzhou soldiers quickly dismounted and rushed over.
They surrounded Tao Qian.
"Xuan De... This officer..."
Tao Qian, who was lying in Liu Bei's arms, spoke lower and lower.
Liu Bei put his ear close to his mouth, but he couldn't hear clearly.
But he nodded repeatedly.
His eyes gradually became moist, and Liu Bei's face was firm.
"Don't worry, Governor."
"With me, Liu Xuande, here, I will definitely fulfill the Governor's trust."
"I will definitely not let you down..."
Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Tao Qian's hands suddenly lost strength and fell to the ground, his two old pupils gradually dilated.
With tears in his eyes, Liu Bei raised his hands to cover Tao Qian's eyes.
He took a few deep breaths to pretend to calm down.
Liu Bei put Tao Qian on the ground, stood up, and said with a firm face.
"All the soldiers of Xuzhou!"
"Xuan De was entrusted by the Governor."
"We must take back Xuzhou from the traitor Mi Zhu!"
"Are you willing to follow me to fight for the deceased Governor?!"
The loud questioning voice echoed in the wilderness, shaking the hearts of the soldiers of Xuzhou.
The soldiers of Xuzhou looked at each other, and Liu Bei's personal soldiers in the crowd immediately took the lead and shouted loudly.
"We are willing!!"
"Follow Lord Xuande till death!"
"Expel Mi Zhu and recapture Xuzhou!!!"
The soldiers of Xuzhou were infected by the atmosphere and followed suit.
Raised their weapons high.
For a time, the crowd was excited.
Xuzhou was where their ancestors had lived for generations, but now it was occupied by the Mi family.
The old and young in their family didn't know what was going on.
Naturally, they had to fight back.
If they could follow Liu Bei to recapture Xuzhou, the status of these soldiers would be greatly improved.
The soldiers of Xuzhou were eager to return.
"Very good!" Liu Bei said heroically.
"I believe that the spirit of the governor in heaven will secretly help us recapture Xuzhou."
"Now, bury the governor with honor."
"Then set off immediately and return to Xuzhou!"
"Yes!!" The soldiers of Xuzhou responded loudly, and then selected a location under Liu Bei's instructions, dug a big pit, and buried Tao Qian's body.
Liu Bei took the lead and knelt in front of Tao Qian's tomb.
"Go up again, Governor."
"Although there is no incense, there is no time to carve a tombstone for you."
"It's really rushed."
"But I, Liu, definitely remember where your tomb is."
"When I take back Xuzhou, I will definitely bring people here again."
"Renovate your tomb."
"Liu Xuande kowtows!"
DongdongDong!
Liu Bei bowed his head three times in a great salute.
The dull sound of the kowtow was so clear that the Xuzhou generals around him could hear it.
They followed suit and kowtowed. When they stood up, they found that Liu Bei's forehead was bleeding because he kowtowed too hard.
The morale of the Xuzhou soldiers soared instantly.
"We will follow Lord Xuande and will definitely conquer Xuzhou!!"
The Xuzhou soldiers shouted in unison, deeply moved by Liu Bei's righteous act.
Liu Bei was unmoved and did not deal with the blood on his forehead at all.
He jumped on his horse, and his movements were extremely clean and neat.
Clang!
He drew out the sword from his waist and pointed eastward, "Set off immediately!"
"March quickly to Xia Pi City!"
"Yes!!" The Xuzhou soldiers responded with a hoarse voice, and the team changed its sparse appearance in the past and rushed to Xia Pi City at a rapid speed.
...
Xia Pi City.
In the hall of the official temple, Jia Xu received the latest news.
"Tao Qian was angry to death? Liu Bei took over the Xuzhou army?"
"Although there are minor changes, it is not a big deal."
Xu Chu said in a rough voice: "The old man Tao Qian really can't hold his breath."
"Isn't it just that we took his Xuzhou, but he couldn't catch his breath."
"His physical condition is too poor."
"Let me say that he eats too well and doesn't exercise enough."
"If he is like those old men and women in Tanghai, doing farm work every day and walking a few miles, he can definitely live a few more years."
"Don't talk!" Dian Wei scolded, "Listen to Commander Jia to arrange the follow-up matters."
Gao Shun stood aside, his face remained unchanged.
However, his clenched fists had already betrayed his belligerent heart.
Jia Xu's face straightened, "All the generals should act according to the plan."
"Although the opponent's main general has changed, it does not affect the previously formulated plan."
"Dian Wei and I will be responsible for defending the city."
"Xu Chu and Gao Shun will lead some of the people of Xuzhou out of the city and ambush at the designated location."
"Yes!" Dian Wei and Gao Shun replied, turning around and walking out of the official temple hall.
"You two must remember this." Jia Xu added, worried.
"The master of the family wants a long-term victory, not a victory in the short term."
"Protecting the foundation of Xuzhou is the most important thing for our battle."
"Don't be greedy for fighting and destroy the master's plan."
"Don't worry, Commander Jia!" Xu Chu patted his chest and promised, "This battle will definitely be arranged according to the previous arrangements, and it will be beautiful!"
"I, Tiger Chi, can also fight a battle without weapons!"
Gao Shun nodded on the side, his words were simple but not simple, "Don't worry, it will be done!"
