Chapter Fifty-ninth Fighting the Stars and Moving the Women's Hearts
"Don't underestimate Miss Liu because she doesn't think she has the power to restrain a chicken. It is said that women's hearts are the most poisonous. Think about it, if Miss Liu hadn't presented a poisonous plan to burn down the stronghold last night, we would be sitting here talking and laughing."
Xu Huai dragged a chair and sat down, and said carelessly,
"Besides, I arranged for the family to be a child before and borrowed 500 yuan from Miss Liu. Now if I don't give Miss Liu a top position, she might suspect that we want to rely on her."
Liu Qiong'er's beautiful eyes almost turned white on Xu Huai's face.
The attack on Xie Mashan was Xu Huai's bad idea. She just got in the middle of it. How could she become the most vicious woman?
"What Xu Huai said seems to make sense..." Xu Wujiang hesitated and looked at his father-in-law Su Laochang, Xu Wuliang, Xu Wukun and others with some confusion, hoping that they would come up with this idea.
"Xu Huai definitely doesn't want to sit in the third position. It's okay for Miss Liu to sit here, but I don't know what Miss Liu means?" Su Laochang looked at Liu Qiong'er hesitantly and asked.
In his heart, he still felt that Liu Qiong'er was not suitable to sit in the third position, but he couldn't say it clearly in front of Liu Qiong'er, so he decided to kick the ball to Liu Qiong'er and ask her to refuse.
"I can't do either literature or martial arts. If you think it's useful for me to come up with ideas, then it doesn't matter if I can take this position, too."
Liu Qiong'er felt like she had a clear conscience. She had gathered thirty or fifty people. She really didn't care about being the third person. But Mr. Su's coy look made her feel unhappy, so she refused to give him this.
At the bottom of the steps, he said,
"But if I must sit in this position, then I have to make something clear. Xu Wuliang and Xu Huai both sold themselves to me, and the deeds of selling themselves and hiring people are still there. They should continue to listen to me in the future.
To act according to your orders, I am not allowed to sit in any extra high positions. Otherwise, I will be purely a decoration in this village. Even if I sit in the first position, I will be nothing more than officers and soldiers coming to suppress me, and being pushed out by you to carry out the crime of beheading.
"
Liu Qiong'er also knew very well that she had come to this point, and unless Xu Huai took her away in the future, she would never be able to get rid of the crime of colluding with the gangsters in her life.
So what is there that she doesn't dare to take in the third position?
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but they didn't expect that Liu Qiong'er would not let Xu Wuliang sit in the second position, and wanted Xu Wuliang and Xu Huai to stay under her command and obey her orders.
However, Liu Qiong'er's words are sharp and make some sense.
It's a position of honor to hold this position, but in the future when officers and soldiers come to suppress it, those who take the position will be the ones who kill thieves and chieftains. Who wants to take this position even though three or five people can't command them?
Even though everyone felt that Liu Qiong'er's words were a bit excessive, they were still embarrassed to throw away the trouble and kill the donkey so quickly.
Xu Wujiang, Xu Guanshan, and Su Laochang looked at Xu Wuliang. After all, what Liu Qiong'er said affected him the most.
Xu Wuliang scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "What Miss Liu said is reasonable. I got away by taking 200 yuan from Miss Liu to pay off the debt; then the second position must be replaced by someone else."
"I think the second spot, Dad Su, don't push it to others anymore!" Xu Wukun said, "Dad Su, you will take the children of others to cultivate and build villages on the east slope of Shituo Ridge.
Everything is arranged in a very orderly manner, and everyone sees it. And in the future, we want to establish a foothold in Tongbai Mountain, especially since no one will abandon the family. The pragmatism of the village is much more complicated than robbing homes and houses, and resisting the invasion of officers and soldiers.
.Wu Jiang, Wu Liang and the others may not be patient enough to deal with these matters. It is up to you and Diniang, Father Su..."
Xu Wukun said this, and everyone thought it made sense. It is not complicated to lead thirty or fifty thieves to rob houses, but it is not simple to settle hundreds of small houses. If we recruit troops in the future, the internal affairs of the village will be more complicated.
"Brother Wu Kun is right, please don't refuse, my father-in-law." Xu Wujiang stood up and asked Su Laochang to sit down in the second chair.
The names were determined, with Xu Wujiang and Su Laochang taking the top chairs in the middle, Liu Qiong'er and Xu Guanshan sitting on the left and right respectively, and Xu Huai, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and others sitting in the second row on the left and right.
Next, they discussed how to establish a foothold. Xu Wujiang and the others planned to take over hundreds of small families as long as they confirmed that Pan Chenghu did not dare to counterattack on Xiema Mountain. Xiema Mountain could be defended according to the danger, and there was a lot of wasteland in the mountain below that could be reclaimed.
If they don't disturb the local area, the big clans of the left and right will tolerate them. However, Xu Wujiang and the others know very well what kind of officers and soldiers the state and county are. As long as they can recruit more than a hundred elite troops, the state and county may not dare to come and suppress them.
"Shituoling and Jinshagou still need to be operated,"
Liu Qiong'er sat in the third position and felt that what Xu Wujiang and the others discussed was inappropriate, so she took the initiative to make suggestions and asked Xu Wujiang and others to see her value and stop despising her, saying,
"Pan Chenghu did not dare to lead the thieves to counterattack. In addition to guessing that the food and grass here would be burned, the more important thing is that there is only one passage out of Xiema Mountain. Once he counterattacks back, the exit will be blocked by Xu's village soldiers from the outside. The thieves
The army will inevitably collapse without a fight due to lack of food. We must not only manage Shituoling and Jinshagou well, but also open a remote road between Jinshagou and Xiema Mountain. Even if the officers and soldiers attack in the future, we must not think of attacking them at one end.
We block it."
"How can Xu Wufu tolerate us continuing to operate Shituoling at this time?" Xu Guanshan asked.
Xu Guanshan was not weak in martial arts, so he could train a son with outstanding skills like Xu Xin'an, but his experience and strategy were far inferior to Liu Qiong'er. He was also afraid of Xu Wufu in his heart, and he was very excited to listen to Liu Qiong'er's advice.
Confused.
"Have you ever thought that Xu Wufu is actually afraid of us now?" Liu Qiong'er asked.
"How do you say this?" Su Laochang asked.
"The officers and soldiers came to suppress us. We couldn't resist, and all we lost was a life. But think about what Xu Wufu would lose if he was found guilty of colluding with the bandits." Liu Qiong'er said, "I think this
We can directly send people to find Xu Wufu for a showdown and ask him whether he led the tribe's troops and killed us directly to clear the suspicion, or whether he helped us hide our identities so that others would never be able to collude with the bandits.
Are the charges being placed on the heads of the Xu family?"
Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang, Xu Wujiang, Xu Guanshan and Su Laochang all looked at Liu Qiong'er in shock. They were trying to kidnap the entire Xu clan.
Xu Huai was sitting in the back row and whispered to Xu Xin'an: "Let me just say that women's hearts are the most poisonous - don't mess with her if you have nothing to do in the future!"
Liu Qiong'er stabbed Xu Huai's villain in her heart, but seeing everyone hesitant, she continued: "At this moment, Xu Wufu and Pan Chenghu are in a stalemate, but this is our best opportunity to blackmail him. If Pan Chenghu is delayed until Pan Chenghu retreats to another place or
If we are destroyed, Xu Wufu will have no worries. With his cruelty, he might actually lead his clan soldiers to kill us to show his innocence!"
Xu Guanshan, the most indecisive person, could understand what Liu Qiong'er meant at this time.
At any other time, if they wanted to kidnap the entire Xu family, they would undoubtedly be seeking their own death. Xu Wufu would definitely be able to convince other tribesmen to kill their relatives in a just and righteous way, and round them up and hand them over to the prefecture and county, thus clearing the Xu family's suspicion.
The current situation is very delicate. First of all, Pan Chenghu believed that what he saw was Xu Wufu's plan to plot Xiema Mountain, and Pan Chenghu led 300 thieves to the east of Lutai Village. Xu Wufu could not explain it, and had to lead his clan troops to confront him.
, to prevent Pan Chenghu from venting his anger by slaughtering the village.
Xu Wufu also had no time to round them up to clear the suspicion.
After a period of delay, especially if Xu Wufu allowed them to continue to build a new village on the east slope of Shituoling, how could the various clans who were eyeing the Xu family and those officials in prefectures and counties who secretly disliked Xu Wufu, how could they continue to build a new village on the east slope of Shituoling?
Give him a chance to clear his suspicions?
The fields, pastures and various businesses in Huaiyuan and Biyang controlled by the Shangfang Xu family are not a few who are eager and greedy.
Of course, kidnapping the entire Xu family requires a lot of ruthlessness.
It is very simple to blackmail Xu Wufu, asking him to continue to tolerate the construction of a new village in Shituoling and build it according to certain defense standards; if Xu Wufu disagrees, then they will directly set up the Xu family's flag on Xiemashan.
, openly recruiting the children of Xu Fangxu to join the gang.
Didn't Zheng Hui secretly collude with Xu Wufu through Hutou Village to expose Xu Wujiang?
Then just sit down and take it easy.
Can someone who is barefoot be afraid of someone who wears shoes?
Human nature is always selfish. If no one thinks of this strategy, then so be it. But after Liu Qiong'er pointed it out, Xu Wujiang, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang, Xu Guanshan, and Su Laochang increasingly felt that this strategy was feasible.
What's more, everyone is still full of resentment towards Xu Wufu. At this time, they are just repaying him with his own way.
Why can Xu Wufu do it in the first year of junior high school, but they can't do it in the fifteenth grade?
By late evening, it was confirmed that Pan Chenghu was entrenched in Shangliu Village. In the afternoon, he sent thieves and cavalry to harass Lutai Dong Village. They had two confrontations with Xu clan soldiers on the north bank of Qingliu River. Both sides suffered several casualties. Xu Wujiang also made the decision to follow the plan.
Liu Qiong'er's plan works.
In addition to Su Laochang going to meet Xu Wufu, everyone has also assigned their tasks.
Su Laochang and Xu Guanshan will continue to be responsible for building a new village on the east slope of Shituoling; Xu Wujiang leads the soldiers to garrison at Chonghuangguan to recruit troops, while Xu Wujiang is divided into two teams, one team is led by Xu Sihu, and is mainly stationed.
Chonghuangguan also selected six capable men, led by Xu Xin'an, who were responsible for inquiring about information and reconnaissance of the enemy.
Liu Qiong'er, Xu Huai, Xu Wukun, and Xu Wuliang returned to Shituoling. Xu Huai, a strong general, was needed here to deter Xu Wufu from making any other small moves after agreeing to the blackmail.
There is also the need to organize Xu Xiaohuan, Su Mi and other more than a dozen young girls for more rigorous training.
Obviously, these young men cannot be taken directly to Xiema Mountain, so they need Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others to stay in Xinzhai and give them careful instruction in martial arts.
The passages from Shituoling to Jinshagou and from Xiema Mountain to Jinshagou need to be built at the same time. In addition to the hundreds of small families in Shituoling and the hiring of manpower from Lutai Village, they captured Chonghuang Temple last night and also captured ten people.
The disabled and weak thieves can be driven to do hard labor first.
