Captain Qin would have been able to go on an expedition this time, but for his cousin, Commander Fang, who patted his chest and told him that he was just pretending to attack, and was not fighting the Soaring Thieves with real swords and spears.

He also pointed out the resourceful Guan Fuqing, a poor scholar trained by the Fang family, as his accompanying military advisor. How could he be willing to command the troops of Lixian County and send troops to take the initiative to attack the notorious Sky Thief?

Yesterday at 1:00 pm, Captain Qin put on his battle armor and sent out troops to form a formation at the north gate of Guangshan County. After harassing the Soaring Thieves, he retreated twenty miles, just to show his attitude and let King Lu know that they were willing to leave Xianjun.

To cooperate with his flanking attack on the Soaring Thief.

After harassing the Soaring Thieves and retreating here, Captain Qin became restless, always hoping that King Lu could lead his troops here earlier, so that he could continue to stage a false attack from a pincer.

But unexpectedly, after the Soaring Bandits in Guangshan County learned that two parties of nearly 30,000 troops were coming to attack his less than 20,000 troops, they not only did not shrink back and panic, but instead heard high morale and noise from the city.

The thunderous sound of ordering troops.

Captain Qin, who originally wanted to cooperate with King Lu in a false attack and intimidate the sky-high thieves, could not help but be frightened out of his courage after hearing about the uproar in Guangshan County, and sent scouts to the vicinity of Guangshan County to find out the news.

At this time, Captain Qin listened to Guan Fuqing's analysis, saying that the movement on Guangshan Mountain was not caused by King Lu's soldiers and horses. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. With cold sweat on his forehead, he waved away the scouts who reported the news.

and the soldiers guarding the tent.

When only Guan Fuqing was left in the military tent, Captain Qin no longer cared about his image and fell to the ground in fear, saying in panic: "The bandit soldiers of the Sky Thief were able to defeat many with less, and they defeated Lu."

The king's elite troops are strong! How can we compete with the more than 10,000 troops in Lixian County? What if he takes advantage of King Lu's troops to attack our army before they arrive?"

Guan Fuqing was already used to being surprised by Captain Qin's soft-footed appearance. He turned a blind eye and flicked his sleeves, but calmly shook his head and comforted him: "Captain Qin, don't panic. If the sky-high thief wants to attack us, what will happen?"

Will there be trouble from Guangshan Mountain in the south of Guangshan County? Are we going to Chang County to sneak attack King Lu like before? Chang County is still under the control of the Sky Thief! I'm afraid something is fishy!"

Judging from the current activities in Guangshan County, the possibility of civil unrest is relatively high.

Civil unrest is good!

If there is civil strife among the Soaring Sky Thieves' troops, and when King Lu's troops attack all the way from Ku County to Guangshan County, the Soaring Sky Thieves' troops may not go out of the city to fight with their Lixian County troops.

So good!

Otherwise, the soldiers in Lixian County are pretending to attack, but they are useless!

If it weren't for the fear that the Soaring Sky Thieves would really defeat King Lu, King Lu would directly lead his troops to withdraw, give up the plan of seeking food in Lixian County, and lead his troops to flee elsewhere to find food, allowing the Soaring Sky Thieves to really go to Lixian County.

He, even Fuqing, was ashamed to lead these soldiers out to fight. He really exposed his shortcomings and was embarrassed!

If the Soaring Thieves knew that the more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in Lixian County were nothing but show-offs, and that 5,000 of them were just empty pay, and the actual number of soldiers and horses was only 10,000, they would have probably already attacked by force.

"This Captain said not to send troops! Isn't this the same as seeking death? It's better for the Soaring Thief to chop off the heads of the nobles and hang them on the top of the city. When the Soaring Thieves attack with strong troops, it will be my time to die."

At this time, Captain Qin was so frightened that his bones and muscles were numb. He could not listen to what Fu Qing was saying. He was still immersed in the situation he imagined, trembling his lips, shouting, and mumbling to himself.

"Captain Qin! You are now a general on an expedition! The morale of an army lies in this. Don't act like this!" Guan Fuqing was thinking about the key point when he saw that Captain Qin not only refused to listen to his analysis, but also allowed himself to think wildly.

They were so frightened that they finally couldn't bear the cowardice of Captain Qin. They walked quickly to Captain Qin who was lying softly on the ground, waved their sleeves and robes, and shouted at him sternly.

This Qin Duwei used his power to overwhelm people and could only collect money, but he could not lead troops to fight!

Guan Fuqing came from a poor family and was able to study literature and became a well-known scholar in Lixian County. This was all because he was smart since he was a child. He was selected by the Fang family, a second-grade family, to be educated in their clan.

As a second-grade family, the Fang family has been able to stand for a hundred years and has the ability to stand in the world.

The Fang family has been entrenched in Lixian County for generations. It is a local wealthy family with a deep foundation. As long as a certain generation of their own children and nephews is not good enough, they will select some smart children from poor families to study in the Fang family, which is a kind of kindness.

It is also a way to cultivate confidants in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Chi, the legitimate son of the Fang family, could not do it. The Fang family used all the efforts of the whole family to support Fang Chi to take the position of governor of Lixian County. Only then did he take charge of Fuqing and sit in the county seat despite being from a poor family.

The high position of the Prime Minister.

Fang Chi took on the high position of county guard, while Guan Fuqing took on all the duties that come with such a glorious and high position.

All affairs in Lixian County are actually handled by Guan Fuqing personally.
