Late at night, the capital of Daning Province.
"Tuk-tuk¡ª¡ª"
The gate of the Provincial Governor's Mansion rang.
"Who is it?"
The guard guarding the gate rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked impatiently.
"I'm Gao Jie, open the door quickly, I have something important to see Master Qin."
A burly officer in battle armor stood outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion. He looked at the silent street behind him and said in a low voice.
Hearing that it was Gao Jie, the guards guarding the gate of the Governor's Mansion did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened the gate.
Soon, the sleeping governor of Daning Province, Qin Yongzhi, was awakened, and hurried to the living room to meet Gao Jie.
Qin Yongzhi was originally the chief executive officer of the Ganquan Mansion in the Daning Province of the Far East Empire. After being captured, he was forced to become the governor of the province appointed by the Desert Empire.
Gao Jie, who used to be a thousand-member general of the Ganquan Prefecture Security Banner Regiment, was also promoted to the garrison general of Daning City, the capital of the province.
"Old Gao, what's the matter?"
Seeing Gao Jie, the garrison general of the provincial capital begging to see him late at night, Qin Yongzhi was also very puzzled.
"Lord Qin, something serious happened." Gao Jie said nervously.
"I just got the news that our army in the Far East has counterattacked and has recovered Nongshan Mansion, Mingluo Mansion and other places."
"Where did you hear that?"
After hearing the news, Qin Yongzhi, governor of the province, also looked happy and asked hurriedly.
"In the evening when we were delivering wine and meat to the barracks outside the city, we overheard their conversation. It turned out that the general guarding the Mingluo Mansion, Murong Fu, led more than 2,000 cavalry, and they did not retreat from the front line at all. They retreated from the Mingluo Mansion. Yes." Gao Jie said.
In the past two days, more than 2,000 cavalry from the Desert Empire arrived in Daning City and stationed in the barracks outside the city. Gao Jie and the others did not have the slightest doubt, thinking that the front line was withdrawn to make up for it.
But now I suddenly heard that these cavalry did not retreat from the front line, but escaped from Mingluo Mansion.
"Is this true?" Qin Yongzhi stared at Gao Jie and asked.
"This matter is absolutely true, I heard it with my own ears."
After Qin Yongzhi heard this, he also paced in the living room with a sullen face, his brain spinning rapidly.
The desert empire's retreating army from the direction of Mingluo Mansion blocked the news. If Gao Jie and the others hadn't overheard each other's conversation, they would probably have been kept in the dark.
Qin Yongzhi is very happy that the Far Eastern army has recovered Mingluo Mansion and Nongshan Mansion.
After all, he used to be an official of the Far East Empire, and finally had no choice but to join the desert empire and serve the desert empire.
However, after he became the governor of Daning Province, he did not persecute the former officials and captives of the Far East Empire.
Instead, he used his status as the governor of the province to vigorously rescue those captured.
When the desert empire annexed the Red Sand Province in the Far East, it already had a whole set of means for the occupied area, which was to divide and win.
Seeing that Qin Yongzhi cooperated with them so much, he had extra trust in Qin Yongzhi, the governor of the province.
The Desert Empire erected Qin Yongzhi as an example of a capitulation faction in order to stabilize the regional order and facilitate their rule.
Qin Yongzhi used to be an official of the Far East Empire, but now he has turned into a high-ranking official of the Desert Empire, so he is naturally reviled.
Qin Yongzhi would always be pointed at when he walked on the street, and mansion was splashed with manure several times in front of his mansion.
However, those people who don't know the truth don't know it. It is precisely because of the plea and protection of Qin Yongzhi, the "traitor", that the desert empire has prevented the desert empire from collecting military rations from the local people.
The desert empire was already barren. After occupying these areas of Daning Province, it also wanted to recruit some young and strong to supplement the army, and to collect some food and fodder to supplement the military.
In the end, it was refuted by Qin Yongzhi, the governor of the province. His reason was that the place had just been hit by a snowstorm, and the people were living in dire straits.
The desert empire naturally wanted to occupy it for a long time, so in the end they followed Qin Yongzhi's suggestion and would rather transport grain and fodder from the Red Sand Province than collect grain and fodder from the local area.
After Qin Yongzhi became the Governor of Daning Province, after obtaining the consent of the Desert Empire, he reorganized the captives, formed a local garrison, and quickly restored order.
It can be said that although Qin Yongzhi is now the governor of the desert empire, what he actually does is for the sake of the people. So far, the desert empire has not benefited from the Daning province.
"Our troops from the Far East occupied Mingluo Mansion and Nongshan Mansion. This is a detour. Now they have not come to attack the provincial capital. I guess they went to Ganquan Mansion to block the retreat of the Desert Empire."
After thinking about it carefully in the living room, Qin Yongzhi, the governor of the province, also had a rough judgment on the situation.
"Once the back road of the Desert Empire army is cut off, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line will be surrounded by our army." Qin Yongzhi analyzed.
"It won't be long before we can return to the empire!" Qin Yongzhi said with a happy face.
Seeing the happy Qin Yongzhi, Gao Jie, who served as the garrison general of Daning City, was sad, not happy at all.
"My lord, we are reviled traitors now. Once the Far Eastern army comes back, we will lose our heads. We should make plans early." Gao Jie said worriedly.
"What are your plans?" Qin Yongzhi asked.
"Why don't we take off our clothes now, take the gold and silver coins and run away, there are a lot of gold and silver coins in the treasury, enough for us to live the rest of our lives," Gao Jie said.
"no."
However, what Gao Jie did not expect was that Qin Yongzhi flatly rejected his suggestion.
"Once the army of the Desert Empire is defeated, the military discipline of the rebellious army will be corrupted, and it will definitely disturb the people along the way."
"Daning City is also the capital of the province. It is one of the main roads for the army of the Desert Empire to return to the Red Sand Province. It is inevitable."
"So not only can we not escape, but we must firmly defend Daning City to prevent the people in the city from being looted by rebels." Qin Yongzhi said firmly.
"But I have more than 3,000 people under my command. If the Desert Empire army from the barracks outside the city enters and loots the city, I will be hard to resist." Gao Jie said worriedly.
"Then we will act first!"
"In this way, you send people out of the city overnight to notify the villages and towns along the Ganshui River line in Daning City, and tell them that there are rebels who are about to cross the border, and let them escape quickly." Qin Yongzhi ordered.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the granary in the city to prevent them from jumping over the wall and setting fire to the grain."
"I will invite the generals of the desert empire in the barracks outside the city to a lunch tomorrow at noon. You gather a group of capable soldiers and take them down during the lunch"
Soon, Qin Yongzhi, the governor of the province, thought of a whole set of countermeasures and asked Gao Jie to cooperate.
"Don't worry, once the Far East army comes back, I will bear all the responsibilities, and I will definitely not implicate you."
"As long as you do what I say, you will surely make great achievements at that time, and the empire will not hold you accountable."
Seeing that the garrison general Gao Jie was worried, the governor of the province, Qin Yongzhi, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"My lord, then I will take my leave first."
After gritting his teeth, Gao Jie decided to do what Qin Yongzhi said, and quickly took his leave and left the Provincial Governor's Mansion.
