Chapter 464 Du Sijing

The armor that Qing'er sewed included a pair of boots in addition to the inner armor.

Compared with the mediocre inner armor, the combat boots are much more gorgeous, with cloudy tiger heads and gold rim inlays, which complement the Mingguang armor. Qing'er's beauty is still so high.

Ouyang Shuo took the boots and checked the attributes.

【Name】: Qingmang Boots (Purple Gold Level)

[Type]: Armor

【Weight】: 1.5 kg

【Defense】: 85

【Toughness】: 75

[Characteristic]: Increase movement speed by 10%

[Evaluation]: It is sewn from the rare material king beast scale armor, with excellent toughness, high quality, and super plasticity of true essence. Constantly refining with true energy can improve various attributes and even advance to a higher level.

Another rare masterpiece.

The characteristics of the green mans combat boots are the best attributes of the shoes, and they can be increased by 10% in one go. In this way, Ouyang Shuo's movement speed will be astonishingly fast under the blessing of Ghosting Piaofeng.

With this pair of combat boots, the equipment on Ouyang Shuo's body is simply gorgeous.

"Go, let's eat!"

Ouyang Shuo put away his inner armor and combat boots, he was in a good mood, and patted Qing'er on the head.

"Well, I'm really hungry!"

Qing'er took Ouyang Shuo's arm and briskly walked out of the workshop.

***********

August 18th, Wangcheng.

The fog in the morning has not dissipated, and the thin sunlight disappeared under the refraction of the fog.

The morning breeze blows, bringing a little bit of coolness.

Ouyang Shuo was dressed in golden light armor, green mans combat boots, a scarlet cloak of martial arts, and a scarlet night sword. Accompanied by Song Jia, Yingyou and others, he walked out of the Southern Border Protectorate with his head held high.

After a month, Ouyang Shuo put on the military uniform again, which indicated that Shanhai City's internal adjustments had come to an end, and the pace of external expansion would accelerate again. The entire southern part of China would once again set off a bloodbath.

Ouyang Shuo in military uniform is no longer the gentle lord of yesterday, but an iron-blooded general.

On the Wangcheng Square, the Imperial Guards had already assembled.

This expedition is to be sent to the enemy's rear, so it must be kept confidential. The entire royal city was completely sealed off yesterday, and outsiders could not see the situation in the royal city at all.

Ministers like Xiao He also waited in the square early to see off the prince.

"Congratulations to the king!"

"For the matter of the territory, please leave it to the gentlemen."

What needs to be said has already been explained yesterday, so there is no need to repeat it, so Ouyang Shuo simply nodded, then got on his horse, and took the lead towards the teleportation formation.

Two hundred Shenwuwei, follow quickly.

Walking along the way, every soldier of the imperial guards saluted in unison, with fanatical expressions.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that the imperial guards had seriously followed Ouyang Shuo on an expedition. Previously, although the imperial guard division was hailed as the king's division, and the princes were directly under the division, they were all under the command of the general Bai Qi.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Imperial Guard Division were all screaming.

"Brother, come back soon!"

Bing'er's clear and clear childish voice seemed unusually warm in the solemn army formation. Xiao He and other ministers also smiled slightly. The dignified atmosphere of the expedition was immediately diluted a lot.

On the horseback, Ouyang Shuo waved back at the little girl, smiled slightly, and then disappeared in the teleportation array.

"Set off!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi led the imperial guards, followed closely behind, and passed through the teleportation array one by one.

***********

Zhaoqing County, Wulong County.

Wulong County is a third-level county seat, located at the northernmost tip of Zhaoqing County, and the lord is named Mr. Latiao. In order not to expose his target, Mr. Latiao had no choice but to lead the 3,000 troops in the territory and go south with the allied forces.

The person stationed in Wulong County is Du Sijing, the most important minister under Mr. Latiao.

Du Sijing, courtesy name Jingfu. He first served Kublai Khan in the vassal mansion and learned from Xu Heng. From Pingyang Dao Tongzhi Leiqian Zhishu Shi Yushi, Li Hubu Shilang, Zhongshu Langzhong, and became the general manager of Shunde, Anxi, Bianliang and other roads.

In the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was appointed as the secretary of Zhongshu to know political affairs. After ten years of Dade, he entered Zhongshu Zuo Cheng. After Wuzong ascended the throne, he became an official. During his stay at home, he did a lot of research on medicine.

Although Du Sijing's reputation is not obvious, he is a rare capable minister. Du Sijing's dynasty was the Yuan Dynasty ruled by the Mongols. It was not easy for a Han official to serve as Zhongshu Zuocheng in the Yuan Dynasty.

Mr. Latiao can be considered extremely lucky to be assisted by this person. Unfortunately, at the wrong time, meeting such a domineering lord as Ouyang Shuo as a neighbor, he had no choice but to obediently surrender.

As the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes.

Mr. Latiao's determination was due to Du Sijing's push behind the scenes. In Du Sijing's view, no matter whether he wins or loses in this battle, the lord of Zhaoqing County will not end well.

Needless to say, defeat, the end is clear at a glance. Even if he was lucky enough to win, the lord of Zhaoqing County, whose vitality was severely injured, was not annexed by the [Southern Alliance], even if he was about to face Shanhai City's second attack.

In either case, the prospects are not optimistic, which is the helplessness of the weak.

Instead of this, it is better to bet in advance and fall to Shanhai City.

It's better to give charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

Du Sijing is naturally not the only one in Zhaoqing County who can see the situation clearly. However, the only one who can have such courage and determination is Mr. Latiao. Just for this point, Mr. Latiao is better than most people.

Facts have proved that Mr. Latiao's choice is correct.

Mr. Latiao's kindness was rewarded generously. The position of county magistrate, plus the title of viscount, is not as prominent as that of the lord of Wulong County, but it is stable and solid.

After the Battle of the Giant Deer ended, the War of Lords of the Wilderness has entered its peak period. On the vast land of China, wars broke out every day.

Every once in a while, a territory is removed from the wilderness, completely becoming history.

Winners are ambitious, losers are ignored.

Only the strong can survive.

Every lord is under heavy pressure, afraid that the enemy will come to the city when he wakes up. Therefore, it is a blessing to be able to retire safely like Young Master Latiao.

Ordinary lords surrendered, but Ouyang Shuo might not accept it. After all, accepting too many lord players is detrimental to the rule of the territory, and it is the most unstable factor.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo would rather make a greater sacrifice than wipe out the enemy on the frontal battlefield. The alliance this time was also forced by the [Southern Alliance] and had no choice but to make such a bad move.

Apart from strategic considerations, Du Sijing was also an important factor in Ouyang Shuo's consideration. This time he led his troops to Wulong County, in addition to attacking the rear of the allied forces, he also wanted to conduct a close inspection of Du Sijing.

Before coming here, Ouyang Shuo took the time to check Du Sijing's information in detail. This person's resume can be regarded as dazzling, not only has experience in local politics, but also has walked in the temple.

If there is no accident, after this battle, the position of a county guard cannot be lost.

Shanhai City's civil official group, middle-level officials and basic officials, supplemented by recruited Confucian scholars and students graduated from Southwest University, can still be maintained, but there are still some important officials who stand alone.

This is especially true for the county guard candidates.

The game map is expanded ten times, and a county governor is actually equivalent to a governor of a province in history.

The governor, in any dynasty, is a veritable feudal official. There are tens of thousands of officials. They have struggled for a lifetime and cannot climb to a high position.

Therefore, it is impossible for Confucian scholars who do not have much experience to take on this important task. It must be done by capable ministers with rich political experience.

Just like Bao Shuya, the magistrate of Leizhou, said he was the prime minister of a country, but in fact, the area of ​​Qi in history was roughly the size of a province in Shandong, and it was equivalent to the size of a county in the game.

To Bao Shuya, serving as the sheriff is basically the limit.

Compared with Bao Shuya, Du Sijing is not inferior, even worse. The only problem is loyalty, loyalty to Ouyang Shuo.

This is also the biggest sticking point for such talents.

To attack Zhaoqing County, Ouyang Shuo had to plan ahead of time for the county guard.

Ouyang Shuo's original choice for county guard was Song Wen. It's a pity that Song Wen's performance in Tianshuang County was really not satisfactory. If Ouyang Shuo forced Song Wen to take the position, he might not be able to convince the public.

Therefore, Song Wen had to practice a lot before he could ascend to a high position. The fall of Tianshuang County this time can be regarded as a lesson for Song Wen.

If he can learn a lesson, his future growth potential is still worth looking forward to.

Excluding Song Wen, there are better choices right now.

...

The appearance of the Imperial Guard Division in Wulong County immediately caused a commotion, and the people in the city looked at this army with trembling eyes.

Everyone knows that there are only a few thousand city guards in Wulong County now, if the enemy came, Wulong County would definitely not be spared.

Fortunately, the following scene made the onlookers breathe a sigh of relief.

"Du Sijing, pay my respects to the Protectorate."

Du Sijing led the Chinese and military officials in the city to come to see him.

To Du Sijing, Ouyang Shuo couldn't put on airs. No matter how you say it, the relationship between the two is just cooperation, not affiliation.

"Master Du, I have admired you for a long time!"

Ouyang Shuo got off his horse and clasped his fists to Du Sijing, miraculously gentle.

"Please!"

Seeing that the Southern Border Protectorate didn't look arrogant, Du Sijing felt relieved. If there were no accidents, the person in front of him would be his future master.

If it was said that Du Sijing didn't have a little thought, no one would believe it.

Lin Yi led his troops to take over the city defense of Wulong County. Ouyang Shuo brought two hundred personal guards and stationed in the lord's mansion.

Although Ouyang Shuo was confident that the opponent would not be able to play tricks, he still had to defend himself. Who knows if there are any secret operations of other lords in Wulong County.

After entering the Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo had no intention of meeting the dignitaries of Wulong County. After exchanging pleasantries, he returned to the residence arranged by Du Sijing on the grounds that he was unwell.

In less than ten minutes, the person in charge of the Black Snake Guard in Wulong County rushed to Ouyang Shuo's courtyard. The guard Shenwuwei knew the existence of the Black Snake Guard, and after checking his identity, he immediately let him go.

"Your Majesty!"

"Tell me, what's going on outside?"

At this moment, Ouyang Shuo no longer had a warm expression on his face, but a grim expression.
