After Ma Tao left, Liu Cong's mood slowly calmed down. He stretched and felt a little tired.
To be precise, after exploring Fangling City yesterday, Liu Cong had no rest at all except for meals.
Although the strategy to outwit Fangling had already been thought up on his way back, this was his first battle after all, and it was also the most important battle. Only when this battle was fought successfully could the subsequent plans be realized. , because he only has a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and his generals are only Deng Ai and Li Hu. His capital is too small, and he cannot afford to lose! Therefore, the general carefully considered every detail to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Now he can finally take a rest. He has a city, soldiers and horses, generals, and food and fodder. Although these are a little short, at least the team is complete. The next step is to seize the opportunity and develop vigorously.
"Please take a bath and change your clothes"
As soon as Liu Cong entered his room, two maids came up to him and helped Liu Cong up. The smell of body fragrance and powder entered his mouth and nose, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.
"You" Liu Cong subconsciously raised his hand and pushed the two of them aside. Some habits formed in his previous life made him somewhat resistant to this.
"My lord, please forgive me" The two maids were so frightened by Liu Cong's actions that they quickly knelt down, their bodies trembling a little.
"Youyou don't have to be like this, get up quickly" Liu Cong was a little confused. He just pushed lightly, how could he scare the two of them like this? It¡¯s simply a frightening bird!
"Thank you, sir" The two of them stood up in a panic, "My wife sent us to serve the young master. Please take a bath."
Liu Cong then discovered that there was a large bathtub in the inner room, which was half filled with water. There were some petals floating on the water, and the heat and fragrance blended together.
Liu Cong has not taken a bath since time travel. Now his body feels a little sore, sticky and very uncomfortable. He urgently needs a bath, but having two strange women waiting in front of him still makes him a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, when Liu Cong was a special forces soldier in his previous life, he could adapt to various situations very well. After the two helped Liu Cong take off his outer leather armor, Liu Cong immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the water tank.
When the two maids saw Liu Cong's shy look, they smiled and then gently washed Liu Cong.
The next day, Liu Cong took a nap until three o'clock in the morning. It was still the two maids who helped Liu Cong get dressed, wash up, and then eat. Just after finishing the meal, he heard the sound of people outside the county magistrate's house. .
"What happened outside?"
A soldier at the door quickly ran over to report.
"My lord, those who have committed heinous crimes will be executed today, and people from near and far will come to watch the execution!"
"Oh let's go out and have a look!"
"No!"
Liu Cong walked out of the county magistrate's office, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and a sea of ??people immediately appeared in front of him.
¡°Whether Liu Cong went to Fangling City to investigate the situation the day before yesterday or led his army into the city yesterday, he never saw so many people.
??And the mental outlook of the people today is obviously different. Instead of the dull expression before, there is more excitement, anger, and even excitement.
There was a square in front of the county magistrate's house, with an execution platform set up in the middle. On the platform were sitting the county prime minister Ma Tao and the county lieutenant Li Hu from Fanglingcheng. There were more than a hundred soldiers around them. They held a knife in one hand and a sword in the other. Shield, full of murderous intent, majestic.
In front of the execution platform, five wooden frames stood upright, with a prisoner tied to each, naked to the waist. Shen Rong was in the middle, and the other four were all Shen Rong's most trusted followers.
¡°Young officer, give me back my daughter!¡±
"Father, mother, these beasts will finally be punished, you can rest in peace"
"God finally opened his eyes"
There were various scoldings and cries intertwined in the crowd. Looking at the situation, if it weren't for the soldiers maintaining order, the indignant people would definitely rush over, eat their flesh and drink their blood!
"The governor is here!" a guard shouted.
"Master Taishou?"
"where?"
Soon, everyone's eyes turned to the door of the County Magistrate's Mansion. They were obviously a little surprised to see Liu Cong so young. In their minds, the one who could be the governor of Shangyong and the one who was not afraid of the Shen family must be a member of the imperial court. How can a veteran minister, a young man in his twenties, be qualified?
"Is he really the governor?"
??"Does he dare to attack the Shen family?"
Many people began to have doubts.
"See you, your lord!" On the execution platform, Ma Tao and Li Hu immediately knelt down and saluted Liu Cong.
"See you, sir!" All the soldiers knelt down and said in unison.
"He is really the governor!"
"Ah? He is the prefect!" A young man in the crowd exclaimed, "I know the prefect!"
"You have to brag, you can still get to know the prefect!"
"You should be your buddy. If you know Lord Prefect, then I will also know Lord Zhoumu!"
"ha¡¡"
"I really know the prefect. He drank in our tavern the day before yesterday, and I was waiting next to him!" The waiter seemed very excited. He was indeed the person who served Liu Cong the day before yesterday. "I discovered at that time that the prefect Your Excellency is a Wenqu star who has descended to earth, so he is different from ordinary people!"
"See your lord!" Some people began to believe it, not because of the waiter's words, but because both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant knelt down, and they had to believe it.
"Common people see you, sir!" Immediately, the crowd knelt down like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
Liu Cong strode to the execution platform, waved his hand to everyone, "Common people, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone stood up.
"I am Liu Cong, a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I am the Shangyong Prefect appointed by Your Majesty. I am ordered by Your Majesty to punish corrupt officials. Please rest assured that I will make the decision for everyone. Those who are just a prey to the common people, expropriate and extort money, take human life lightly, and raid and cut off the people's wealth. I will not let any of the corrupt officials go!"
"It turns out that he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. No wonder he is so young and promising!"
"I'm just saying, if the others are so young, they definitely can't be governors!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
At this time, everyone believed that although the Han Dynasty had declined, the signboard of the Han clan clan was still very effective.
After Liu Bei became King Jing of Zhongshan, he was able to gather a large number of people with lofty ideals even with nothing. Not to mention that Liu Cong's status was higher than Liu Bei's. How could the people not be sincerely convinced? This is why he revealed his identity in public.
Originally, Liu Cong planned to develop quietly in Fangling, accumulate strength, and then try to capture Shangyong and Xicheng.
But now he has changed his mind, because the people's support can be used.
With the support of the people, there is no need to fear delays in Shen Yi. As for Cao Cao, all his energy was still focused on Jiangdong Sun Quan at this time, and he would not think about the superior Liu Cong at all.
