206: Xiaocheng chaos (forty-six) [asking for monthly votes]
"That's how it is."
Wu Yuan agreed.
But there was a huge wave in my heart.
This thing sounds simple, but it is not easy to actually do it. There are indeed many poor people, but most of them are just pretending to be among the crowd, just taking money without doing anything, and there are even free prostitutes who sneak away after getting the benefits.
These are those who do not obey orders.
People who are willing to obey orders are also likely to be held back.
It is not easy to dispatch dozens or hundreds of people with no training foundation and ask them to follow the plan.
But if Shen Tang didn't tell Wu Yuan, it wouldn't be easy for Wu Yuan to get to the bottom of it.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he asks.
Because there is no command and dispatch at all.
There is no technical content at all.
What Shen Tang and others asked of these "common people" was to rush in and shout as loudly as possible.
She kicked the door open when she saw it, and started beating people when she saw it. The granary was not in a clan area where families lived in groups, and it was in a remote location. Most of the people she met were left as guards. If she was left alone and was injured or killed, she would not be held responsible.
These people may be ignorant, but they are definitely not fools who don't know how to hide when a knife is placed on their neck. They can get ten kilograms of grain by just running around and smashing it. Is there any easier job than this? Who can do it? Rushing to leave alone at the meeting to seek death?
Wu Yuan asked again: "How does a righteous man know the location of the granary?"
"Clues found in the former Sheriff's study."
After saying that, she looked at Gong Cheng.
She and Gong Cheng found that box of account books together.
In terms of credit, it is also the credit of two people.
Wu Yuan: "Seriously?"
Gong Cheng smiled and said: "Of course it is true. The former county governor Yan Cheng has a close relationship with Xiaocheng and other aristocratic families, and has done a lot of dirty things in private. Yan Cheng is not stupid, and he must do everything he does. Leave some evidence behind."
These handles are naturally intended to constrain the local forces in Xiaocheng, which can not only make cooperation closer and interests more tightly bound, but also serve as a deterrent to collaborators. Among them are the situations of various companies, and Yan Cheng has a clear understanding of their background.
It's a pity that he can't bear it.
In the end, Shen Tang got the advantage.
When she got the box, she planned out the order in which to rob each house, ensuring that she could visit them all in one night, and rob the granary at lightning speed.
This is still cutting off food. If we attack it at night, we can burn it faster.
The whole process went so smoothly that Gong Cheng was dumbfounded. He never expected that this gentle and petite brother-in-law with a boyish-female appearance had an unknown side. He acted so decisively, swiftly, neatly, and without any sloppiness.
At the same time, he felt it was a pity. If the current situation had not been chaotic, with his wife and brother's ability, he would have done something in the peaceful and prosperous times.
On the surface, Wu Yuan listened attentively and nodded in approval from time to time. Apart from himself, only Gu Chi knew what he was really thinking in his heart. But Gu Chi just lowered his head, drank tea quietly, did not talk or comment, and had a sense of presence. weak.
Wu Yuan asked again: "Then - what was the harvest like this time?"
He added another sentence.
"How long can it supply the defenders with soldiers?"
Gong Cheng didn't hear the sourness in Wu Yuan's words. He took out an account book from his sleeve and presented it to him, saying: "I was busy counting the grain and grass before putting it into the warehouse, and now I'm late. Because of time constraints, the numbers on the account book There is a discrepancy with the actual situation, but it shouldn’t be major.”
Wu Yuan flipped through it casually.
The figures above would even make him speechless.
If Sibao County had not been affected by war a few years ago, Wu Yuan would not be surprised that there was so much food in the granaries, but what time of year is it now? Their granaries are still full! Not even one! The local snake is indeed a local snake!
Wu Yuan sneered in his heart - if he could learn their special skills, he could scrape off three to five kilograms of oil and water from even the poorest soil!
He closed the account book, joy appeared on his brows, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Great! With these grains, the soldiers defending the city can hold off the rebels for a little longer."
A thin smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chi's lips.
Well, it's indeed good. It would be better if Wu Yuan's voice and words could be consistent. Gu Chi watched coldly, watching Wu Yuan try to recruit Shen Tang, and seeing Shen Tang pretending to be confused... But based on his attitude towards Shen Lang Shen Lang most likely didn’t understand.
"Is there any way Yunchi can use these righteous men to my advantage?"
After Shen Tang and others left, Wu Yuan held Gong Cheng's hand affectionately, as if he was thirsty for talents. He had previously thought of recruiting Qi Shan, but was poured cold water on him by the former county governor Yan Cheng.
I didn't expect to see each other again.
There is more than one talent.
Gong Cheng is already a useless person who has deposed the Dan Mansion. Apart from his identity, he can make some contributions, and his internal affairs talents can also help him relieve his worries, but they are nothing compared to Qi Shan and others. Qi Shan is okay, Wen Xin's grade is not high, but Chu Yao is different!
A living second-grade Chinese heart!
The level of Gong Shuwu's martial courage is unclear, but it is definitely not low.
There is also Shen Tang, who is the youngest and has the highest potential.
If these four people can be used by him, then——
When he returns to the Northern Desert, the royal power will be at his fingertips.
Gong Cheng did not answer, but looked at Gu Chi with a troubled expression.
Gu Chi: "Don't you see?"
Wu Yuan was confused: "What didn't you see?"
Gu Chi said: "It is obvious that Shen Tang is the leader among the three people in Qishan."
Are you so half-hearted that you still want to annex people?
Wu Yuan: "..."
He looked at Gong Cheng again.
Gong Cheng nodded bravely and said: "The position of Gongshu Yishi is unclear, but Mr. Chu and Mr. Qi are obviously. Even if they are not related in this way, it will be difficult to recruit them."
"Why?"
Wu Yuanfei had to get to the bottom of it.
During the years when he was a hostage in Xin State, he secretly made friends and won over many people, but these people all followed him because of the benefits he gave, and they were seeking visible benefits - such as gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth. However, it is conceivable that such people can be bribed and won over with only money.
Not to say absolutely, the overall standard is indeed not much higher.
He only wants to find real talents!
How painful it is to touch something but it doesn’t belong to you!
Gong Cheng could only say: "My wife's brother comes from the Shen family."
The surname of the Shen family is Shen, but it is not the "Shen" of the Xin King's royal family.
Although the people in one school follow the golden mean, they are neither too outstanding to attract the jealousy nor too mediocre to be ignored. They look ordinary and mediocre, but it does not mean that they have no spine or spirit. On the contrary, they are very angry.
Stubborn people are tough!
Otherwise, his father would not be able to persuade his father-in-law, Mr. Shen, to confront Zheng Qiao, who was at the height of his popularity and favored the inner court, and tried his best to prevent him from returning to the country. The Shen family did not want to see Zheng Qiao, nor did they want to see Bei Mo.
Just because Wu Yuan was born in the Northern Desert, it was impossible for his wife and brother, who was born in the Shen family, to agree to his solicitation. It was better to give up as soon as possible.
Wu Yuan did not react: "So what if I am born in the Shen family?"
Gong Cheng said: "There is a feud between our ancestors."
The Northern Desert had previously been an experience pack for the younger generation of the northwest countries to gain a reputation for military merit. Naturally, the Shen family was also outstanding. The experience pack was not just a wooden stake to be piled up by others, and its combat effectiveness was not low. On the battlefield, where swords and swords were shining, any accident could happen. .
Of course, this is not the biggest reason.
The biggest reason is that Shen has always advocated war.
When Xin's national power was at its strongest, his father-in-law, Mr. Shen, wrote to him more than once, hoping to destroy the Northern Desert in one go. Leaving this hidden danger behind would cause serious trouble sooner or later! If Mr. Shen, the father-in-law under Jiuquan, knew that his wife and brother had followed Wu Yuan, I'm afraid... Be furious!
"If you can't pray for kindness, Shen Tang can't do it, what about Chu Yao?"
Gu Chi asked back: "Langjun thinks this Chu Yao has the same name as the 'Chu Yao' who was one of the Three Great Masters of Chu State?"
He led his troops to conquer the Northern Desert.
Wu Yuan was sent to Xin State as a hostage and Chu Yao had a share of the credit.
Are you sure you have the strength to accept Chu Yao?
Wu Yuan's face turned pale.
Gu Chi added: "As for Gong Shuwu, Qishan and Chu Yao are keeping an eye on him, and they are keeping it for Shen Tang..."
The implication behind the words is that if you don’t want to be stabbed to death by these two black-hearted counselors, don’t covet the prey they are targeting, unless Wu Yuan now has absolute strength and is not afraid of this. Wu Yuan took a deep breath and was unwilling to do so. He swallowed this bad breath.
Another place——
Qishan and Chu Yao were also in a bad mood.
Shen Tang thought it was because they couldn't find Lin Feng.
He comforted and said: "No news is the best news."
Chu Yao, who was comforted, looked puzzled.
"What?"
"Aren't you worried about Lin Feng and the others?"
Chu Yao: "..."
The answer is yes or no.
The former is a lie, and the latter sounds too cool.
"Didn't Mr. Lang hear that?" Qishan held a stick in his hand, with feathers plucked from an unknown big white goose tied to one end of the stick, making Su Shang whirl around. Su Shang staggered with his front paws on his back paws. He fell down onto the soft cloth cushion.
"What?"
Qishan said: "That person wants to recruit you."
As he spoke, he picked up Su Shang, who was holding his feathers without letting go of his claws.
It took Shen Tang a moment to remember who "that person" was. He was startled and pointed at himself: "Wu Yuan wants to recruit me?"
Qi Shan asked back: "You don't know?"
Oops, could it be that the sequelae of the dual cultivation of civil and military skills have appeared? I really worry about Shen Xiaolangjun's brain, it is so obvious that he can't see it.
Shen Tang was speechless for a moment: "...I really don't know."
She didn't even notice this.
Shen Tang defended himself.
"I didn't think about it at all."
Although her family background is very thin now, even worse than that of the emperor's uncle after they became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, every one of them is a high-quality human strategist. When Gong Shuwu is taken down in the future, the number of people in the team will increase from three to three. (one cat) promoted to four people (one cat).
Let’s go back and meet up with Lili and the others——
Becoming the king of a mountain can be regarded as having a foundation. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. No matter how small the power is, it can be regarded as one of the princes - at least it is better than the so-called war of a hundred villages. Unless Shen Tang is wise, otherwise he will not give up the opportunity to start a business. Other bosses working part time???
And bring your own team to work for others?
Shen Tang said: "It is impossible for me to agree."
The expressions of Qishan and Qi Shan were subtle.
Of course they knew it was impossible, but they just felt a little unhappy.
With ample supplies of food and grass, the floating military morale stabilized.
Shen Tang also spent two days running around looking for the whereabouts of Lin Feng and the two of them. He almost turned over the entire Xiaocheng area, destroyed several illegal dens, and rescued innocent people, but still found nothing.
"If we can't find anyone again, we'll go out of the city to look for him."
Shen Tang sighed.
If outside the city——
Not to mention Lin Feng's two and a half-year-old children, it is extremely difficult for even a few adults in the Butcher's family to survive. On the way to escape, the crisis they face is not only the shortage of food, but also the refugees who are also human beings, bandits who have turned into bandits, and Rebels.
The chances of survival are extremely slim.
Had I known this——
Shen Tang couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "If I had known this, it would be safer to let Lin Feng and the two stay on the mountain and follow Li Li."
Chu Yao had no choice but to comfort Shen Tang. It was not her fault. Who could have expected that the rebels led by King She would attack at this time?
The blame can only be blamed on King Pig and Zheng Qiao.
If something happens to Lin Feng and Tu Rong...
Chu Yao's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
He must use the heads of King Pig and several others as a blood sacrifice!
boom--
There was a muffled sound.
Tu Rong, who was worried by Shen Tang and others, was kicked away.
Immediately afterwards, a sharpened wooden stick fell from his hand. Just as he was about to turn over and jump up, a similar wooden stick was pressed against his neck.
"Why are you still lying down? No strength? Get up!"
Tu Rong gritted his teeth, picked up the stick and got up from the ground.
"Who said we have no strength? Come again!"
At this time, his face was gray, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was even bigger than usual. Even Chu Yao might not recognize him when he came. He rushed forward with a wooden stick, but was beaten back in embarrassment after a while. Repeated back and forth dozens of times, old wounds
A new wound has been added to the wound before it heals.
Until the last time, he stood up and sat back down.
Only then did the person opposite give up.
The young man knelt down and looked at him: "You can't do it at such a young age?"
Tu Rong was in pain all over his body.
He said harshly: "Who said I can't do it anymore?"
Young man: "If you can, stand up and go back by yourself."
Tu Rong lying on the ground: "..."
He really can't do this anymore.
After two failed attempts, the young man became impatient. He grabbed his collar and put it on his shoulders, ignoring that the shoulder armor would aggravate Tu Rong's injuries, and strode back to the military tent.
Tu Rong resisted the uncomfortable urge to vomit in his stomach.
Fortunately, the school ground is not too far from the tent.
As soon as he was put down, he fell to the ground.
Looking at the young man sitting next to him, who poured out a handful of warm water and wiped the sweat from his body with a cloth, Tu Rong murmured in a low voice.
The young man didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows: "Speak loudly."
Tu Rong obeyed and said loudly: "Are you so free?"
I haven't seen him go out these days.
Is being a general so relaxing?
He thought that being a general meant that he was either training troops, commanding wars or handling military affairs. The young man would either beat him in the school grounds or play beads with him in the military tent every day. The key was that he was still very poor at playing beads, and he could always win three out of five games.
Bureau.
The young man sneered.
"I am free? It is good that I am free. If I am busy and disappear, the head of Yama Palace will have a headache."
Because there are too many lonely ghosts going to report!
Young people are happy and free.
Even when others come to find trouble, he can deal with it calmly.
But...
The less you think about something, the easier it is for something to happen.
At this time, someone came outside the tent.
The voice was urgent: "Major General, there is a war!"
The young man who was picking pearls paused.
Lin Feng, who was sitting quietly practicing aside, heard the sound and opened his eyes.
Could it be that Xiaocheng sent troops?
The young man categorically rejected this possibility.
Xiaocheng wished he could shrink back into a tortoise shell. He was even used to the corpses thrown in every day, so how could he risk his own life and send troops?
If not them, who would send troops at this juncture?
