Chapter 206 Chapter 206: Rebellion in Xiaocheng (forty-six) [Please vote]
“That’s how it is.”
Wu Yuan responded.
But there was a huge wave in my heart.
This is easy to say, but not easy to actually do. There are indeed many poor people, but most of them are just showing off among the crowd, just taking money without doing anything, and there are even prostitutes who sneak away after getting benefits.
These are disobedient.
Those 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 Shen Tang didn’t say anything, and Wu Yuan couldn’t get to the bottom of it.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if he asked.
Because there is no command and dispatch at all.
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.
Kick in the door when you see it, and hit people when you see them. The granary is not in a clan area where families live in groups, and is in a remote location. The people I met were basically all staying guards. She will not be held responsible if someone is injured or killed due to being left alone.
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 necks. They can get ten kilograms of grain by just running and smashing it. There is nothing easier than this. job? Who would rush to be alone and seek death?
Wu Yuan asked again: "How does a righteous man know the location of the granary?"
"The clues found in the former governor's study."
After that, she looked at Gong Cheng.
She and Gong Cheng found the 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 had a close relationship with Xiaocheng and other aristocratic families, and they had done a lot of dirty things in private. Yancheng is not stupid either. To do anything, you must leave some evidence and handles. "
These handles are naturally intended to constrain the local forces in Xiaocheng. They can not only make cooperation closer and interests more tightly tied, but also serve as a deterrent to collaborators. There are various situations among them, and Yan Cheng has a clear understanding of their background.
Unfortunately, he was not blessed to enjoy it.
Shen Tang got the advantage in the end.
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 at night to burn food, we can do it faster.
The whole process was so smooth that Gong Cheng was stunned. I never expected that this seemingly gentle and petite brother-in-law with a male-female appearance had an unknown side. He acted so decisively and swiftly, neatly and without any sloppiness.
At the same time, I feel it is a pity. If the current situation were not chaotic, with the ability of my wife and brother, he would have done something in the peaceful and prosperous times.
Wu Yuan listened attentively on the surface and nodded approvingly 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 and drank tea quietly without talking or commenting, and his sense of presence was weak.
Wu Yuan asked again: "So - how was the harvest?"
He added another sentence.
"How long can we supply the defenders?"
Gong Cheng did not 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 earlier. It was too late to count the grain and fodder in the warehouse. Due to time constraints, the numbers in the account book are different from the actual ones, but they should not be large."
Wu Yuan flipped through them 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 granary, 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 laughed in his heart - if he could learn their special skills, he could scrape three to five kilograms of oil and water from even the poorest soil!
He closed the account book, joy appeared on his brows, he let out a long sigh of relief, and said: "Great! With these grains, the defenders can hold off the rebels for a little longer."
A thin smile curled up at 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, watching Shen Tang pretending to be confused... But based on his understanding of Shen Lang, Shen Lang probably didn't understand.
"Is there any way Yunchi can make these righteous men work for me?"
When Shen Tang and others left, Wu Yuan held Gong Cheng's hand affectionately, looking like he was begging for help. Thirsty attitude. He had previously thought about recruiting Qishan, but was poured cold water on him by the former governor Yan Cheng.
I never expected 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. It's okay to say that Qishan's Wenxin'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: "Didn't you see it?"
Wu Yuan didn't understand, so: "What didn't you see?"
Gu Chi said: "Qi Shan and the three of them are obviously Mainly Shen Tang”
Are you still trying to annex people?
Wu Yuan: "..."
He looked at Gong Cheng again.
Gong Cheng nodded bravely and said: "The position of the righteous men is unclear, but Mr. Chu and Mr. Qi are obviously. Even if they are not in this relationship, it will be difficult to recruit them."
< br>“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 level 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 is from the Shen family."
The Shen family's surname is Shen, but it is not the "Shen" of the Xin King's royal family.
Although they follow the golden mean, they are neither too prominent to make people jealous, nor too mediocre to be ignored. They look ordinary and mediocre, but it does not mean that they are not Spineless and spiritless. 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 go against 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. Shen doesn't want to see Zheng Qiao, nor does he want to see Bei Mo.
Just because Wu Yuan was from the Northern Desert, it was impossible for his brother-in-law, 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."
Bei Mo was previously the younger generation of the northwest countries. Shen's experience in building a reputation for military service was certainly exceptional. Experience packs are not just stakes for people to stand on, and their combat effectiveness is not low. The battlefield is full of swords and swords, and any accident can happen.
Of course, this is not the biggest reason.
The biggest reason is that Shen has always advocated the main battle.
When Xin's country was at its strongest, his father-in-law Shen Gong wrote to him more than once, hoping to destroy the Northern Desert in one go. If this hidden danger is left behind, something big will happen sooner or later! If Mr. Shen, the father-in-law under Jiuquan, knew that his wife and brother had followed Wu Yuan, he would probably be furious!
"If you can't pray for kindness, Shen Tang can't do it, what about Chu Yao?"
Gu Chi asked back: "Lang Jun thought that this Chu Yao was the same as the 'Chu Yao' of the Three Heroes of the Chu Kingdom. Just the same name? "
He led his troops to fight in 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 said again: "As for Gong Shuwu, Qishan and Chu Yao have targeted him, and they have kept it for Shen Tang..."
The meaning behind the words, 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 these. Wu Yuan took a deep breath and swallowed the turbid air unwillingly.
Elsewhere - Qi Shan and Chu Yao were not in a good mood either.
Shen Tang thought it was because they couldn't find Lin Feng.
He said with relief: "No news is the best news."
The comforted Chu Yao looked confused.
"What?"
"Aren't you worried about Lin Feng and the others?"
Chu Yao: "..."
The answer is neither yes nor no.
The former is a lie, and the latter sounds too cold.
"Mr. Lang, didn't you hear that?" Qi Shan held a stick in his hand, with feathers plucked from an unknown big white goose tied to one end, making the businessman circle around. Su Shang stepped on his front paws and his back paws, staggered and fell onto the soft cloth cushion.
"What?"
Qi Shan said: "That person wants to recruit you."
As he said that, he picked up Su Shang, who was holding the feathers but not 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 practicing both civil and military skills have appeared? I'm really worried about Shen Xiaolangjun's mind, it's 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 that at all."
Although her family background is very thin at the moment, even worse than the emperor's uncle after they were sworn in Taoyuan, but every one of them is a high-quality human literary heart counselor. When Gong Shuwu is captured in the future, the number of people in the team will be promoted from three people (one cat) to four people (one cat).
Go back and meet up with Li Li and the others——
Seizing the mountain as king can be regarded as having a foundation. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and no matter how small the power is, it is still considered one of the princes——at least it is better than the so-called Battle of Hundred Villages is better. Unless Shen Tang has become wise, why not put aside the opportunity to start a business and work for another boss? ? ?
You also bring your own team to work for others?
Shen Tang said: "It is impossible for me to agree."
The expressions of Qishan and Qishan were subtle.
Of course they knew it was impossible, but they just felt a little unhappy.
With ample supply of food and grass, the floating military morale stabilized.
Shen Tang also spent two days in a row searching 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 will go out of the city to look for him."
Shen Tang sighed.
If it were outside the city——
Not to mention Lin Feng’s two and a half-year-old children, even the butcher’s family and several adults would have a hard time surviving. On the way to escape, the crisis faced is not only food shortage, but also refugees from fellow humans, bandits and rebels who have turned into bandits.
The chances of survival are extremely slim.
If I had 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 stay on the mountain and follow Li Li."
Chu Yao had no choice but to let Lin Feng stay on the mountain and follow Li Li. In turn, she comforted Shen Tang that 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 She and Zheng Qiao.
If something happens to Lin Feng and Tu Rong...
Chu Yao's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
He must sacrifice the heads of King Sheng and others as a blood sacrifice!
Bang——
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, he was gray-haired, bruised and swollen, and his face was 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. I went back and forth dozens of times, adding new wounds to the old wounds before they healed.
Until the last time, he stood up and fell back down.
The person on the other side gave up.
The young man knelt down and looked at him: "You are too young to be able to do it?"
Tu Rong was in pain all over his body.
Talked back: "Who said I can't do it anymore?"
The young man: "If you can, stand up and go back by yourself."
Tu Rong, who was lying on the ground: "..."
He really can't do this.
After trying twice and failing, the young man became impatient. He grabbed his collar and put it on his shoulder. Ignoring that the shoulder armor would aggravate Tu Rong's injuries, he strode back to the military tent.
Tu Rong resisted the uncomfortable urge to vomit in his stomach.
Fortunately, the school grounds are not too far from the tents.
As soon as he was put down, he fell to the ground.
Looking at the young man sitting next to him, squirting a handful of warm water and wiping the sweat on his body with a cloth, Tu Rong whispered.
The young man did not even bother to raise his brows: "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 would mean either training troops, directing battles or handling military affairs. However, young people would either beat him in the school field or play beads with him in the military tent every day. The key is that he is still very poor at playing beads, and he can always win three out of five games.
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 ghosts and 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, heard the sound and opened his eyes.
Could it be that Xiaocheng sent troops?
The young man flatly rejected this possibility.
Xiaocheng wished he could shrink back into his 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?
