Wang Junlin nodded and said: "This group alone is not enough. Along the way, we always have to carry heavy supplies of food and grass, and build campsites. Every time we go to a place, we change a group of civilians. This can not only achieve the effect of publicity, but also It allows our soldiers to build up their physical strength, which will be somewhat beneficial for the war ahead."
Shen Guoer had completely understood what Wang Junlin meant, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange for people to gather refugees in advance to serve as laborers, and gather as many people as possible from different villages and towns."
After a pause, Shen Guoer continued: "In addition, I will immediately arrange for people to dress up as refugees and publicize it. I can slightly exaggerate the rumors, and the storytellers from Xiaoyu Theater can also make up some stories."
Wang Junlin nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I will do as you say, and also send an order to Jingtian. From now on, wherever there are refugees, Xiaoyu Theater in all counties will start to set up free porridge shops. Let him budget later. How much money is needed every day should be controlled within a certain range."
"Guo'er understands." After Shen Guo'er finished speaking, she thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary people don't know about the relationship between Xiaoyu Theater and the prince. Do you want it to be made public to the world?"
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "No, if I announce it to the world at this time, the emperor will think that I am trying to win over people's hearts, which is not good for us. Moreover, after Xiaoyu Theater has set up porridge shops in counties and counties all over the world for a few years, the people will suddenly know that Xiaoyu Theater is related to Xiaoyu Theater." My relationship might work wonders."
Shen Guoer said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise. In these troubled times, we only need to invest a small amount of money, food and manpower to win over the hearts of the refugees and attract them to seek refuge."
Wang Junlin said with emotion: "In fact, not only will a large number of refugees and people come to us, but after these things are widely spread, there will be other benefits. Some rebels, rivers and lakes heroes and bandits, as long as they have a somewhat kind heart, If the officers and soldiers are forced to surrender, we will become the best choice in their minds. As well as the businessmen, they will also feel that it is more reliable to do business in Fanyang County. Now and in the future, our troops will be stationed in other counties and counties, and they will not be affected by local threats. The people are resistant, so spending this money, food and manpower is actually a huge profit."
…
…
In this way, Wang Junlin and his army exchanged five groups of laborers along the way, and finally arrived at a small town a hundred miles away near Liyang City.
Under Wang Junlin's intentional actions, they were not marching very fast. The closer they got to Luoyang, the capital, the richer the surroundings became. Perhaps Yang Su did not want to get a dilapidated Kyoto, and there were many restrictions on his subordinates. The people in these places were My mental outlook is also much better than before.
There was no anti-thief garrison in this town, and the people did not know the style of Wang Junlin's officers and soldiers, so they were very wary. Many roadside shops saw them in advance, so they closed their doors early in a panic and hid with their clothes. For fear of being robbed by officers and soldiers.
Although it didn't last long, the effect of Wang Junlin's efforts to win over the people was still evident in the past few days. Some people who had learned about the famous Qin An King's military style through the refugees had the courage to open shops and do business.
Wang Junlin specially ordered the baggage officials to purchase supplies in the town, and paid a penny according to the price on the spot, which surprised the people who opened the shops and made a lot of money.
Not to mention the current war, even when the world was relatively peaceful a few years ago, when officers and soldiers passed by their town, there were often incidents of buying and taking things by force. In today's troubled times, soldiers and bandits are no different. This comparison immediately highlights
The difference between King Qin An’s army is revealed.
When the people who had closed their shops and hid themselves learned the news and ran back to open their doors to welcome customers, it was already too late, and they all immediately regretted it.
Several wealthy gentry and village chiefs in the town anxiously brought some meat, grain and other condolences. Wang Junlin personally received them, which made these people extremely excited. Wang Junlin not only accepted their condolences, but also
But he gave them money and things of equal value, which made them horrified and gave them feelings they had never experienced before.
Wang Junlin was very polite to them, and arranged for someone to take them to visit the camp. He personally felt the difference between the famous Qin An King's army and other armies, and lamented that this is the strongest army in the world.
, and was deeply impressed by the style of this army that was different from other armies.
After these people returned, they would naturally brag about being received by King Qin An in the circles of small nobles and small landowners. Naturally, they would also publicize the various ways in which King Qin An's army was different from other armies.
"Your Majesty, Xiongkuohai has occupied those two big villages, brought many bandits that have been defeated, and is currently taking advantage of the situation to annex other small forces. Now there are more than 3,000 people." Hao Shen and Li Changli were waiting to express condolences.
After leaving, Shen Guoer ran over to report to Wang Junlin.
"Yes, this Xiongkuohai is very good at becoming a bandit master." Wang Junlin was very satisfied with the results that Xiongkuohai achieved in just three days.
After what happened in the previous town, in the villages and towns where Wang Junlin and his army passed in the next few days, local gentry came to volunteer to work for the army and sent pigs, sheep, food and other supplies. Many of them were local prominent families, and in the local town
There are shops all over, hoping that the army can purchase their goods, but also hoping that this guest army will not loot.
In this way, Wang Junlin led the army and marched for another day or two. They were already very close to Liyang City, and the spies sent by Shen Guoer to Liyang City began to send back information one after another.
Sure enough, after Yang Su learned that Wang Junlin's army was heading to Liyang Granary, he asked his sons to lead an army of hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers and rogue bandits to continue attacking Luoyang, and he immediately mobilized the main force of 50,000 elite soldiers to come to Liyang City.
, and at the same time, he also dispatched the conquered Han Xiangguo and other seven groups of bandits to gather near Liyang City.
"Your Highness, we just received news that Yangwu County, thirty miles to our right, was captured by a group of bandits conquered by Yang Su." Not long after Shen Guoer reported the news near Liyang City, she hurried back,
Report to Wang Junlin.
"Yang Su wants to occupy the city on both sides and behind us as soon as possible and surround us." After Wang Junlin found the location of Yangwu County on the map, he immediately understood Yang Su's intention.
…
…
The sun is scorching hot, and a human tragedy is taking place in Yangwu County.
In the city of Yangwu County, fireworks were everywhere, countless bandits were surging in the streets and alleys, and people were dead and injured everywhere in the city, crying and crying everywhere.
In the county government office, the county magistrate was forced to kneel on the ground by two gangsters. His face was stained with blood, his official uniform was in tatters, and his black gauze hat was still on the side after being taken off. There were still several footprints made of mud on it.
