When he left the Junbing barracks, Su Yiran was in high spirits. The cold sweat on his back flowed into his butt groove. After covering the heat in the chair, it was particularly uncomfortable. He wanted to reach out and scratch him, but he could only endure it because of his face.
After saying goodbye to those brainless county and school captains, Su Ren didn't stop for a moment. He wanted to report the good news to the prefect as soon as possible, and also asked people to prepare food. They are all sophisticated things, and no one will take action if they can't see the food.
.As the newly appointed military officer, Su Ren was very concerned about this. It was related to his credibility among the county soldiers, so he had to do a better job.
Captain Jian's Taoist School looked back at the people behind him, took a deep breath, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Our new soldier looks pretty good. As long as he can deliver food, we will withdraw our troops. The Meng family
It’s not unfair to fall into the hands of Su Bingcao!”
"Indeed! Meng Ji doesn't understand current affairs. If he had cooperated with Su Bingcao, I'm afraid we wouldn't be needed. This Shu County would have been his world for a long time!" Tu County County Lieutenant laughed, and many people nodded along with him.
"Hmph! A bunch of idiots!" Wenjiang Taoist Colonel snorted coldly: "If you want to retreat, you retreat. What we did this time is no different from treason. If you say that the prefect can let us go, you will be a fool if you believe it. Wait.
Come on! Send us away now and then clean up one by one. You will regret it later!"
The captain of Tuxian County shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey! Everyone has his own ambitions. If the captain of Wenjiang Road wants to stay, just stay. If you want to be buried with Meng Ji, we have nothing to do with him!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs!" Wenjiang Dao Colonel dropped these words, turned around and left with several military commanders and Sima under his command. There were also several county captains following him.
Captain Jian's Taoist School looked at the back of Captain Wenjiang Road and said with a smile: "I don't know what benefits Meng Ji gave him. This guy actually followed Meng Ji wholeheartedly. Since he is seeking death, let him go." Su Bingcao explained
We can deliver the things tomorrow, so let’s pack up tonight so that we can leave Chengdu, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible!”
The Tuxian county captain glanced at the Jianshi Taoist school captain and nodded secretly to express his understanding.
Su Ren was very happy along the way, humming an unclear tune in his mouth. The white horse came to the city gate with small steps. The crops around Chengdu were ripe, with golden millet and tall sorghum lush and green.
Because of the siege of the city by soldiers, there were no people working in the farmland. Flocks of birds jumped up and down, enjoying the incomparable delicious food.
Hawking's big black horse was used to being wild in the Qiang land. He stretched out his mouth to eat sorghum leaves, but Hawking whipped him on the head. The big black horse lowered his head reluctantly, and his steps were no longer as diligent as before.
"What are you afraid of with just a mouthful of sorghum leaves? Look at your Dahei's aggrieved look!" Huang Shisan began to joke.
"You can't get used to your bad habits! This guy is used to being wild in the Qiang land. He wants to eat everything he sees. I beat him several times, but he still has no memory!"
"You don't feel bad either?"
"How can I not feel distressed?" Hawking stroked the mane of the big black horse: "But we can't spoil him. From now on, we will follow the big brother to the battlefield. If the two armies are fighting and this beast suddenly loses his temper, my life will be in danger.
But that’s it!”
"Hahaha..." Su Ren turned around and said, "You are thinking long-term. Who said I would go to the battlefield? I don't like that kind of fighting and killing!"
"All my burly men, over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty-three, must guard the border. Don't tell me you don't know?" Hawking stared at Su Ren as if he were an alien: "If the eldest brother hadn't become a soldier now,
I have received the order from the court a long time ago! I am fourteen this year, and in two years I will be able to fly like a horse!"
Su Ren really didn't know that there was such a rule in the Han Dynasty. He never thought that one day he would go to the battlefield, or the kind of cold weapon battlefield where white knives go in and red knives come out. In later generations of TV and movies, as long as there is a big battle,
There will definitely be corpses floating thousands of miles away. After a battle, those who can survive are those who are lucky.
Su Ren shuddered: "No, I won't go to the battlefield even if I die!"
Huo Jin and Huang Shisan looked at each other and regarded Su Ren's fear of the battlefield as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all.
It was just after noon when we rushed back to the city. A large group of people in the west gate were waiting for the result of Su Ren. Whether it was ordinary people or the prefect Wen Dang, no one wanted to watch the county soldiers enter the city. Since ancient times, military disasters and all other disasters have
They are all disgusting. The people in Shu have only lived a few decades without war disasters. Going back to the previous sufferings is no different from killing them.
Seeing the smile on Su Ren's face, Changshi breathed out a sigh of relief: "Teacher, it should be done!"
Wen Dang stroked his beard and nodded frequently: "It'll be great! It will save the people of Chengdu from suffering, and I will feel at ease for the rest of my life!"
Su Ren raised his leg, jumped off the horse gracefully, flicked the rein of the horse, and Huang Shisan caught it firmly in his hand. He took a step forward and bowed in front of Wen Dang: "Teacher, the student is back. Fortunately, he has lived up to his mission.
The soldiers from Dao County outside have promised that as long as they are given a certain amount of food, they will retreat!"
"Very good!" Wen Dang quickly helped Su Ren up: "Zi Heng has made great achievements again this time, I am very happy! I wonder how much food they want?"
"Ten thousand shi per family!"
"Ah? So many?" Chang Shi made a rough calculation, and the miser's character made him scream in surprise.
"Haha!" Wen Dang said with a smile: "It's less than 200,000 shi of food, not much! As long as we can save Chengdu, I will pay even 200,000 shi!"
With the important matter in his mind resolved, the sadness that had shrouded Wen Dang's face for many days disappeared. A burst of warm cheers broke out at the city gate, and the people of Chengdu expressed their admiration for this newly appointed soldier.
Upon hearing the amount of grain and grass, Cui Jiuming immediately expressed that the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce was willing to donate 50,000 shi to share the government's worries. Wen Dang readily agreed, and Cui Jiuming also breathed a sigh of relief. Following Su Ren's efforts to drive up prices in Chengdu, it finally disappeared.
If the Wen Party does not accept it, the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce will be in danger of being destroyed, and he, the president, will not be able to show his head to the public.
Cuixiang Tower has prepared a celebration banquet. Wen Dang was not polite this time. At the invitation of Cui Jiuming, he entered the most famous high-end restaurant in Chengdu. This was the first time for Wen Dang to come to this place. It was far more magnificent than his prefect.
The mansion's uniform Eight Immortals table and Taishi chair made Wen Dang feel fresh. The old man in charge of the shop personally received this group of distinguished guests, with attentive and thoughtful service, delicacies with all colors, flavors, and refreshing shochu, everything made him happy.
Wen Dang thinks it’s very good.
After three rounds of drinking, Wen Dang put down his glass and said, "Zi Heng! Have all the county soldiers agreed to withdraw?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Teacher, please forgive me. The student did not tell the truth to the teacher at the beginning. In my plan, I did not want to convince all the county soldiers. Counting, there are still three or five families outside the city who want to follow Meng Ji to fight to the end.
!”
"This..." Chang Shi was shocked, and the fine celadon wine glass almost fell to the ground: "So, the danger in Chengdu has not been eliminated yet? What should we do? Even if there is another family, Chengdu's defense alone will
I can’t stop it!”
Su Ren smiled: "Don't drive, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."
"All these county soldiers were bribed by Meng Ji. Since they can come, it means that they have illusions about Meng Ji. It seems that the county soldiers outside the city come from different counties. In fact, they only take orders from Meng Ji. In other words, they
To deal with such people, no matter whether we borrow troops to encircle and suppress them or ask the court to send troops, it will be difficult to quickly solve the current crisis in Chengdu."
Glancing at everyone at the table, Su Ren continued: "Since they are of the same mind, they have to let them get into chaos first. It's normal for a few to be unwilling! They can become the target of our differentiation. As long as we let those wavering guys away
Only through the collective efforts of the county and soldiers can we completely eliminate the threat from Chengdu!"
"Okay!" Wen Dang slapped his palm on the table: "Zi Heng's plan is very clever. Instead of us trying to kill them all, it's better to let them kill each other!"
Su Ren smiled: "That's it, if most people are not willing to withdraw troops with 100,000 stones of food and grass, we may suffer a lot of bleeding, so we will make the bait bigger!"
Everyone laughed and gave Su Ren their thumbs up to express their admiration.
Chang Shi still frowned and thought for a long time: "If this battle continues, I'm afraid there won't be many soldiers left in the entire Shu County."
The happy people immediately returned to their sad faces. The transition was natural and there was no sense of disobedience at all. No one felt that there was anything wrong with this change.
Su Ren glanced at it: "What's going on? These people are rebels and rebellious! They are being cleaned up now for the long-term peace and stability of Shu County. Come, come, drink and drink!"
Wen Dang picked up his wine glass and congratulated Su Renyao: "Does Ziheng have any tricks up his sleeve?"
Su Ren smiled and drank the wine in the glass: "The teacher still knows me!"
"Since these people can be bribed by Meng Ji, they will also be bribed by others if they are not fully protected. As the newly appointed military commander, I am ready to rebuild the county troops. All the school and county lieutenants who participated in the siege of Chengdu this time can no longer be used, including their
My dear friends, these people must be eradicated completely. If you are interested in serving in the county army, I can give priority to you!"
Hawking's eyes lit up: "I'm going!" he shouted, but found that he was the only one to express his position, which was a bit embarrassing.
Huo Laosi has already stretched out his hand, preparing for a domestic violence.
But Wen Dang looked at Hawking with a smile: "This guy is good!" Huo Laosi stretched his hand in the air and found it difficult to drop it.
Changshi nodded: "Su Bingcao is indeed thinking long-term, and I can't do it as well!"
All things are easier said than done. Meng Ji asked Meng Wei to raise food again and send it outside the city. Before the food was ready, he got news that Su Ren had gone to the military camp outside the city. He quickly sent people to inquire about it.
When he heard the result, Meng Ji fainted on the spot.
The Meng family entered a deep panic. It first came from Meng Ji's study, and soon spread to the entire Meng family. The servants and servants began to flee. No matter how many people Meng Wei sent to guard all the exits, the escape could not be blocked.
happened.
Meng Ji, who was lying on the couch, waved his hand: "Don't worry about those domestic slaves. I want to leave the city. You have to carry me out of the city!" (To be continued)
