"Click..."

A ferocious bolt of lightning flashed across the gloomy sky.

The dazzling light instantly illuminated Chen Sheng's uncertain face in the thatched shed.

Li Si, who was looking at him secretly, seemed to be caught by the compelling light in his eyes, and lowered his eyelids in fear.

"Home..."

Chen Sheng said calmly: "Have you cleaned it up?"

Li Si clasped his hands and said: "After cleaning up, we have killed those who deserved to be killed, copied those who deserved to be copied, and expelled those who deserved to be expelled. Only twelve wealthy families in the county are left."

"twelve……"

Chen Sheng raised his eyelids and stared at him closely: "Why are there five more companies?"

Li Si: "Returning to your lord, the Zhou family, the county captain, and the Liu family, the county chief, are the front soldiers of your army."

"The head of the silkworm Wu family is my brother-in-law."

"The Zhang family of Wufeng Hall is the in-laws of Wangjiazhuang."

"The Niu Ma Xing Tian family is a branch of the Tian family in Xuzhou, and is related by marriage to the Xiang family in Xiangcheng."

"None of these five families have anything to do with what happened yesterday, and they have all donated half of their property to provide food for the Lord's tail."

He replied respectfully.

"Xiang..."

Chen Sheng whispered about this powerful family that had been away for a long time.

No matter when he laid out the Qinglong Gang before.

It was after he became the governor of Chen County.

He has never even touched Xiang Cheng.

And Mr. Xiang is just like an old man sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He has never sent anyone to interfere with the changes in Chen County.

No one was sent to see him to seek cooperation or gain benefits.

This made Chen Sheng know that Xiang's plan... was huge!

But he doesn't care.

It's true that he doesn't want to offend Mr. Xiang.

Whether it was out of the family friendship between the Chen family and the Xiang family, or out of fear of that overlord who was so brave and unparalleled throughout history.

He didn't want to offend Mr. Xiang.

But it's just that I don't want to offend.

For Xiang.

His attitude is that it's good to cooperate, but if you can't cooperate, everyone will go his own way without stopping him. He really has no fear if the Chen family rises and wants to start a war with him!

"I'm very happy that Mr. Li can be honest with me."

Chen Sheng said calmly: "In this matter, I believe that both the Li family and the Wang family do not know anything about it, but since one of you took the initiative to hand the knife to me, I naturally have no reason not to take it!"

"As the saying goes, 'Things can only come in threes.' This is already the second time. I don't want a third time, and you don't want a third time. On this point, I think we can reach a consensus.

of."

"So, if there is any trouble in the county in the future, I would like to trouble Mr. Li to pay more attention to it for me. It is really rare for the Li family to be able to stand in Chen County for six hundred years. If it collapses due to the involvement of some ignorant fools, I think you will die.

, it’s hard to close your eyes!”

Li Si bowed his head to the end and said: "Please rest assured, sir, from now on, I, Mr. Li, will treat you as your master and will never have any second thoughts!"

He did not distinguish anything from Chen Sheng.

He knew very well that since he, the Li family, bore the title of "the clan with the highest rank in the county", he enjoyed the scenery and power that other aristocratic families could not enjoy.

Then the Li family should naturally shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that other aristocratic families do not have to bear.

From this point on.

In the past, when the Xiong family was pastoral and guarding Chen County, there was actually no difference between the time when Chen Sheng was governing Chen County now.

It's just that the world has changed.

The attitudes and methods of the two generations of county governors towards Li Shi were naturally different.

It is precisely because he understands this truth.

That's why he took the initiative to ask his Li family to make swords for Chen Sheng and massacre the wealthy families in Chen County.

Now, the Li family and the Wang family have been completely tied to the Chen family's chariot.

I want to jump out of the car again.

Don't say whether Chen Sheng will let them go.

Many aristocratic families in Chen County who had collapsed under the butcher's knife of these two families would swarm forward and tear them apart... Who among the families who could build a genealogy and inherit the family in such an era didn't have a few back-ups!

Of course, the hatred of these people is also the reason why the two families have completely devoted themselves to Chen Sheng's command and gained Chen Sheng's trust!

Chen Sheng nodded slightly: "Mr. Li is a smart man, I believe it... the state government asked me to rescue the Dangshan camp, what do you think?"

Li Si's spirits perked up slightly after hearing this.

he knows.

This inquiry was a sign of Chen Sheng's trust in him.

This was also a test that Chen Sheng put to him.

"This is not difficult to deal with!"

He opened his mouth without thinking, obviously he had already planned it: "The key point lies in your ambition!"

"If you just want to stick to Chen County and be the master of the harvest, then this matter can be easily handled. You can swallow the grain sent by the state government and send troops on the road. They will rest once a day and camp every three days. The state government will urge your subordinates to

The soldiers and horses will arrive at the Dangshan camp as soon as possible, and they will definitely allocate more food and fodder. In this way, you will not lose the name of your righteousness, but you can also reap the benefits. This time of the siege of Yanzhou, according to my opinion, we will definitely see it within ten days.

Find out!"

"If you have the ambition to conquer the clouds, then this matter is your opportunity to expand your territory. Previously, the Yellow Turban rebels in Jizhou attacked Chenliu. All the powerful families in Chenliu County died and surrendered. The prince Zheng pacified Chenliu.

After that, although the son of the former county governor was elected to take over the position of governor of Chenliu County, Chen Liu was actually returned to the prefectural governor. Your Excellency can take this opportunity to send a letter offering five thousand troops and horses in exchange for Chenliu's control.

According to my understanding of Bu Wei Gong, it may be difficult for your Excellency to obtain the control power of the entire Chenliu County. However, in order to relieve the siege of Dangshan Mountain, Bu Wei Gong will definitely give you half of the county. At that time, your Majesty will rule twenty cities.

It is close to Yuzhou and connected to Sizhou in the west. No matter how powerful the Yellow Turban rebels are, adults can advance and retreat freely!"

"This is a contingency plan. If your Excellency does not want to respond, then just ignore the bird message from the state capital. Anyway, it will take at least four or five days for the official dispatch letter from the state capital to arrive in Chen County. At that time, your Excellency will borrow the troops.

After delaying for five or six days, the siege of Dangshan has been decided. It doesn't matter whether we send out troops or not, and we will not lose the name of righteousness!"

Li Si did not have any trouble with Chen Sheng, and poured out all his plans like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Pah, pah, pah."

Chen Sheng smiled and applauded, nodded and said: "What a three-way strategy, Mr. Li's talent has really not disappointed me!"

Li Si bowed humbly and said: "My lord Liao Zan, I am showing my shame!"

Chen Sheng smiled and did not comment on his good decision.

He was very supportive.

But in fact, in his eyes, the three strategies mentioned by Li Si can only be said to be... mediocre!

No big mistake.

But there’s nothing particularly outstanding about it!

But he also knew that this was not the limit of Li Si's talents.

It's just that Li Si didn't know his ambitions and his behavior.

It is really not easy to come up with such three strategies: upper, middle and lower without making any mistakes!

At least Li Si can be said to be very accurate in his view of the overall situation and his grasp of human nature!

Already beyond 99% of people in this era...

Chen Sheng turned to ask: "How much grain was recovered during the sweep of Chen County last night?"

Li Si couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his thinking for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly replied: "The detailed number is still being calculated, but it is roughly around 23,000 dan or 4,000 shi!"

Chen Sheng pursed his lips and said "tsk" in surprise.

Twenty-four thousand shi of grain and fodder, is that much?

There must be a lot!

But you must know that Li You and Wang Qin checked no less than twenty wealthy families last night!
