After returning, Wen Rensheng summoned everyone and announced: "Regulate the army and prepare for war. The troops will be divided into three groups, one to conquer the south, one to conquer the west, and one to conquer the north."
He has clearly seen his opponent's cards.
It is not necessary and cannot be delayed any longer.
As for the three-year agreement with the court not to interfere with each other and the war, can it be called cheating?
That's called strategy.
Besides, it was Guo Xiazi who deceived him, what does it have to do with him Wen Rensheng?
From the moment he came to this script, he never admitted that it was him.
"Isn't it a taboo for military strategists to divide their troops into three groups?" the fourth hall master questioned.
As a person grows old, he seeks safety. In his opinion, he should first conquer a territory rather than divide his forces as soon as they come up.
"Do military experts have our advantages?" Wen Rensheng asked with a smile.
"This...is indeed not true." The Fourth Hall Master shook his head.
"Well, there are 8,000 people per route. First, establish a three-division structure and bring in enough candidates. As for where to hit, we will hit until the candidates are completely arranged." Wen Rensheng continued.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at it this way, the Holy Master was very clear-headed and did not expand wantonly just because he defeated the strongest Donghan people.
The current candidates can cover an area of ten counties at best, covering five million people.
But how could they possibly guess what Wen Rensheng was thinking?
All three came out together.
On the first road heading east, we encountered the county seat sixty miles away. As soon as the army arrived, the county magistrate opened the city and surrendered.
"The guilty minister Wu Zi'ang welcomes the heavenly army."
"I am late to welcome you, but I hope you will be forgiven."
The general leading the army was a little curious and asked: "You are so wise and very good. But why are you so straightforward?"
The county magistrate quickly said with sincerity and fear: "The imperial court faced the Donghan people and suffered repeated defeats. The Heavenly Army easily defeated them in two battles. How can we resist?"
"Very good, very good." The general was overjoyed and immediately understood why the Holy Master suddenly ordered everyone to go out.
This is because the surrounding fruits are all ripe and will rot if they are not picked.
But even so, the general still strictly followed the procedures for entering the city.
Enter Xia.com to check if there is any ambush and explore the public sentiment.
After everything is done, enter the city, establish three divisions, count the population, and clean up the accumulated abuses...
The county magistrate was very cooperative.
It’s totally the way to welcome Master Wang.
The same goes for the other two routes.
It was not until the Western Route attacked the third county seat that they encountered firm resistance.
However, this resistance is too ridiculous.
A palace master, like Lei Zhenzi on the list of gods, flew directly to the top of the city, and the soldiers collapsed.
Only the county magistrate resisted with a sword.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, Great Yan has nurtured scholars for three hundred years, and Chen will die today!"
The sword was waving wildly, and the palace master stood three feet away, watching him play tricks.
Half a moment later, the county magistrate was panting, holding his sword and asked: "Why are you rebelling? The people rebelled because they couldn't survive. This county can understand, but you all have good food and housing, and no one dares to
I am oppressing you, how can I still fight back?"
The palace master thought to himself, if you ask me, who should I ask?
I don’t want to rebel at all, isn’t this all forced?
However, there are still standard answers.
"Ask them..." The palace master pointed to the idlers on the far side of the city wall who were watching the excitement.
Of course, more people are watching the fun online.
"We invited the Heavenly Army! They give us 80 cents a day, but we can't find any work here, and when we find work, we get deducted!" an idle man said boldly.
"I can't live anymore! All day long, I can only be a beggar, and I have to be oppressed by your officials. They never care about our life or death. They only know how to collect taxes!"
"How good is Wuguan County? Everything is taken care of. People who have no work are organized and go to the construction sites to protest. Money is given every day and never withheld!"
"You, you, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. If you don't work hard, how can you blame the imperial court? The imperial court is in troubled times now. There are rebellions everywhere, and the people have to suffer. Why don't you understand the imperial court?" Chen County
Ling said bitterly.
"If you are considerate of the court, who will be considerate of us? We don't know what will happen to the court tomorrow, and we won't be able to survive tomorrow!"
To be honest, compared to the north and northwest, the south and southwest, if you have a generation, you will not starve to death.
But that depends on the warm climate and sufficient rainfall, which can be supplemented by wild vegetable shoots in the wild.
Life is not easy.
County Magistrate Chen was still persuading: "If you continue to persevere, when the court calms down, it will naturally lighten the tax and rest with the people."
"Hahaha, are you fooling us with this? How can you lower the apportionment? Your yamen has more than 30 yamen servants, more than 200 white people, a secretary, a master...a lot of people, and they all need to eat and eat.
Regarding wages, where does this money come from? Doesn't it come from our hands?" the idle man asked again.
"You invited the rebels, why don't you invite these people?"
"We don't need so many people. We entrust the money and grain to the bank to collect it. We never collect more, and the number of people is small. There are only a few dozen people in the third division."
"You have been deceived. If you have less now, you will have more in the future!" County Magistrate Chen said harshly.
"At least you can live a good life now, who cares about the future!"
County Magistrate Chen had nothing to say.
Of course he knew that in recent years, the superiors had been chasing more and more, and they directly questioned the county magistrates. He heard that the magistrates of some poor counties were forced to hang themselves by their superiors because they could not raise taxes.
In poor counties, it is true that even the landlords have no surplus food.
If the county magistrate is like this, let alone the common people?
"Take it away!" the palace master waved.
"Well, County Magistrate Chen used to be fair. He would try his best to let big households pay. Sir, I hope he can be spared." Someone said boldly.
"You see, justice is in the heart of the people. If you have done good deeds, people will naturally remember you." The palace master pointed at the man and said to County Magistrate Chen.
County Magistrate Chen was ashamed, but his desire to seek death had faded away.
After all, if he really wanted to die, he would just hang himself from the beam or jump off the city wall instead of waiting for someone to kill him with his sword.
This is just a small episode.
The three armies captured eight counties within half a month and exhausted their manpower before stopping.
There were only a few casualties, only a few who were killed or wounded after entering the city.
Street fighting is inevitable.
There are always people loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Lao Guo, aren't you impatient? Why are we attacking in three directions now? I knew you were still willing to listen to my reasonable opinions." Zhao Han lay on the ground and said proudly.
"Why do I listen to you? I just move according to the times." Wen Rensheng sighed.
He can't imagine now, how Zhao Han will face this history of letting himself go after returning to his original life?
Well, yes, you must learn from yourself.
Don't admit it, don't recall it, don't mention it.
As expected, every teacher must have a disciple.
"Move according to the times, has the time come now?"
"The time has come."
"Why can't I see it?"
"You can tell if you spend your time chewing bones instead of observing the general trend of the world."
"Tch, I'm eating bones while watching the general trend of the world. How many years are there before complete chaos?"
"Then you should know that an evil force has entered the situation."
"You know, those civilian troops are often crazy and often defeat the captured government troops."
