Mortal Immortal Gourd
Chapter 266 Failed to Provoke Trouble
Er Gouzi returned to Jinyang Valley as General Wang and stayed there for a while. He wandered around every day, looking for opportunities to cause trouble.
One day, he was strolling outside and saw an old farmer sitting on the side of the road crying loudly.
He walked up curiously and found out that the monster next door had many blue-eyed spirit cows.
A blue-eyed spirit cow ran across the border and ate all the crops in the old farmer's field.
That was unacceptable! As an official, he had the responsibility to protect the peace of one side. How could he let the spirit beasts of the monsters harm the crops?
He immediately returned to Jinyang Valley, brought hundreds of soldiers, and rushed into the monster's territory.
After the monsters occupied the territory of two counties, they moved some tribes here and settled here.
Not far from his Jinyang Valley, there was a monster tribe that was good at raising blue-eyed spirit cows.
Er Gouzi brought a group of men and broke into the territory of the monster tribe like wolves and tigers.
Originally this area was all farmland, but now it is all planted with grass by the monsters.
More than a dozen blue-eyed spirit cows that look as big as small houses are leisurely eating grass.
This kind of spirit cow can be used for ploughing, pulling carts, and carrying goods.
Finally, their meat can be eaten, which contains some spiritual energy. Ordinary people can strengthen their bodies by eating it, and cultivators can increase their cultivation by eating it.
"The monster dares to let the spirit cows destroy my crops, rob them for me!"
With Er Gouzi's roar, his soldiers rushed into the tribe like wolves and tigers.
None of these soldiers are good people. They rushed into the tribe and robbed everything they saw, and they would not leave a grain of food for the monsters.
There were bursts of wailing in the monster tribe.
"General, what should we do with these blue-eyed spirit cows?"
A soldier was not satisfied with the robbing, and wanted to take action when he saw those spirit cows.
However, this kind of spirit cow is too big, and ordinary spirit beast bags can't even fit one.
Moreover, the spirit cow has a violent temper, and people who are not familiar with it can't take it away.
The only way to deal with it is to kill it and carry the meat away.
"I have a spirit beast bag, you go to other places."
Er Gouzi fell in love with these spirit cows at first sight.
Many places in Sanyang County are now doing some large projects, which require a lot of manpower and animal power.
These spirit cows can be taken back to transport food, pull earth and stones, and cultivate land.
He put these demon cows into the gourd.
This small tribe has no masters, and the wealth is not particularly much. The soldiers feel that they have not robbed enough, and they are a little unsatisfied.
"I will give you a chance today, and rob enough at once."
"Meet here at sunset."
With his order, these soldiers all ran away happily, rushed into the tribes of the demons and looted.
Er Gouzi also walked around casually with his hands behind his back, and put anything he liked into the gourd.
Several nearby tribes mainly raised blue-eyed spirit cows, and they were all put into his gourd.
By the way, they also took away all the forage stored by these tribes for the winter.
Anyway, most of the monsters' strength was concentrated on the front line to attack Sanyang County. There were not many people in the rear, only two Jindan were left, and they were not nearby.
Now he was with the Qingzhou soldiers, and he could do whatever he wanted to the monsters.
Everyone had a great time robbing for a whole day, and at sunset, everyone returned with a full load.
"The monsters will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss. You guys should be careful and keep an eye on the surrounding area."
"Be prepared for battle in the next few days."
After returning to Jinyang Valley, Er Gouzi sent all the people who participated in the looting out again to keep an eye on the monsters.
Sure enough, three days later, a team of monsters quietly crossed the border between the two sides and wanted to retaliate.
Er Gouzi was well prepared and took his men to destroy all the monsters.
By the way, he used this as an excuse to rush into the monsters' territory with his soldiers and killed and looted again.
The monsters suffered a big loss one after another, which completely angered them all.
A Jindan demon who stayed behind, with a team, was about to continue attacking Luoxi County.
Er Gouzi also gathered all his troops to prepare for the battle.
The war between the demons and the Qingzhou army was about to be provoked again.
At this time, the governor of Luoxi County brought a small team to find Er Gouzi.
"General Wang, you are confused!"
Although this governor of Luoxi County only had the foundation-building cultivation, his surname was Xia, and he was a direct descendant of the Xia family. He had a status in the clan and was a key talent to be trained.
So he dared to point out General Wang's faults with his mere foundation-building cultivation.
"Why am I confused! The demon's spirit cattle destroyed the farmland. I am guarding one side, and I must seek justice for the farmers."
"Also, the demon did not repent and dared to organize a team to retaliate. I am stationed in one side, so I naturally have the responsibility to defend the land and the people."
Er Gouzi argued this time, and he was right anyway.
"Oh my! That's why I said you were confused!"
"Let the demon's spirit cow destroy some farmland and eat some crops. We just need to turn a blind eye to it."
"As for the demons who want to take revenge later, let them come. At most, they will slaughter the residents of a few towns here. What can happen!"
When the Xia County Magistrate said this, he sighed.
"The general has already issued an order to avoid fighting with the demons as much as possible, and to keep things peaceful in everything."
"You are too impulsive by doing this!"
"You must remember that the overall situation is the most important thing!"
"If we are not careful now, we may provoke another war between the Qingzhou army and the monsters."
"Be careful that the general will track you down and punish you for provoking a border conflict."
Er Gouzi didn't take Xia Junshou's words seriously at all.
His purpose was to provoke a war between the two sides. At worst, he could just turn around and run away.
But there was one thing he didn't expect. In order to avoid a war, Xia Mingyuan would be so flexible in the face of the monsters.
"Alas! Don't send troops to confront the monsters head-on for the time being. I'll find a way to deal with it."
After giving the order, Xia Junshou left.
And he took out the general's token and forbade the army of Jinyang Valley to fight. Those who violated the order would be beheaded.
In the next few days, the monster army rushed into Luoxi County and directly killed more than a dozen towns.
Almost all the people in a county were killed, and the bodies were carried back to feed the monsters. It took several days to move the food and supplies.
Afterwards, the county governor of the Xia family took the initiative to compensate the monster with some property, and the two sides reconciled.
The defenders of Jinyang Valley were strictly restricted from fighting, and could only watch all this happen.
A battle that had just been provoked was quelled just like that, at the cost of more than a dozen townspeople.
Er Gouzi found an opportunity to slip away in the past few days. It was meaningless to be such a cowardly general.
He didn't expect that Xia Mingyuan could be so good at being a coward in order to achieve his goal.
This time, he failed to provoke trouble, but indirectly killed more than a dozen townspeople, all because of him and Xia Mingyuan.
The Xia family can use these people as compensation for the monster, ignoring the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Although Er Gouzi is not a very kind person, he feels very uncomfortable. Perhaps he is too influenced by Sima Yi and always has some womanly kindness.
