Chapter 586 586: Evil Neighbor (Part 2) [Please vote]
“Have you found any rumors?”
A temporary camp in Sibao County.
The man who spoke looked to be in his mid-thirties. Because he had taken good care of himself, even though he had been pampered in the past few years and his figure had become slightly looser, his foundation was still there. Wearing a finely trimmed mustache, he was sitting in the tent sipping wine, showing a leisurely attitude.
He sits high on the throne and has a shrewd eye.
There is a lamp in the tent, and the light is dim.
Judging from the breathing of several people, they are not ordinary people.
The next warrior general laughed loudly and said with ridicule: "Reporting to my lord, there is no news in Longwu County. We really doubt it. Two years ago, Shi Wu lost half his life. Is this really Shen Youli? "
The man put down his wine glass: "Of course. Is there really no movement?"
General: "It's true! My lord is wise, and he really has enough kindness but not enough killing. Come to think of it, he doesn't dare to give up harvesting food and take action against us, so he can only suffer the consequences."
It's not that the military commander is arrogant and underestimates the enemy and doesn't treat Shen Tang as a meal, but that Shen Tang's sense of external presence is really too low. He became famous for a short period of time. The first battle in Xiaocheng and the first battle in Shiwu were short-lived. After finishing the work, he immersed himself in running his own three-acre land. He was even forcibly transferred to Longwu County by Zheng Qiao without making a fuss. The outside world talked about it. After a while, it was replaced by other fresh gossip.
The latest splash was the defeat of Shiwu.
But——
To what extent was Shiwu defeated?
They don’t know much.
Yonguguan, a channel for business and trade exchanges, is firmly controlled by Shen Tang, and the communication between Shiwu outside the pass and many forces within the pass is almost zero. Naturally, I couldn't feel how many horrifying tricks Shen Tang had used on Shi Wu.
Longwu County is once again a barren land that has been ruined by Shiwu. It also rejected the Dragon Slaying Bureau, which was led by Huang Lie and fought fiercely. It "hidden itself" for two years, and other forces in the pass were at war with each other. It's too late, how can I have the time to pay attention to Shen Tang's little transparency?
The only sense of existence that Shen Tang had in the past two years was that Wu Xiangu Renzhanghe occasionally mentioned it, but Shen Tang was never seen in person. No matter how good his reputation was, it changed his taste. The transformation from "a benevolent gentleman" to a "cowardly coward" only took two years.
Qiu Cheng, that is, a man, has never met Shen Tang with his own eyes, and all his impressions of this neighbor come from other people's mouths.
At first, I thought that this person must be extraordinary when he became famous at a young age, but after two years of cold observation, I found that this neighbor seemed to be too gentle and harmless, as if he lived in a different world from them. People are being beaten to death outside, but the neighbors are still obsessed with farming.
In the first year, the harvest in Sibao County was acceptable, and Qiu Cheng did not want to take this opportunity to provoke Shen Tang. At that time, Shen Tang had just finished working Shi Wu. He was very angry and had sufficient morale. He was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. If he was provoked, he might fight to the death with himself.
But this year is different.
The harvest in Sibao County this year is dismal, the government's land tax is difficult, the people under the rule have fled, the soldiers and generals have begun to run out of pay, and the Allied Army of the Dragon Slaying Bureau has also fallen into a stalemate. The two sides have entered a stage of competition for manpower and food. . Zheng Qiao holds the national seal in his hand, and the national seal can change the weather to a certain extent. From the perspective of endurance, it is stronger than the Dragon Slaying Bureau alliance army who purely depends on the weather.
Qiucheng also began to worry about food.
Then he was reminded that his neighbor was a fat sheep.
Qiu Cheng hesitated at first: [I'm afraid it's inappropriate...]
Wu Xian and others are quite wary of Shen Tang. He himself has never dealt with Shen Tang. He doesn't know the other party's details. If he attacks rashly, he may suffer a loss. Qiu Cheng could hypocritically refuse once, but he couldn't refuse the second and third time, and finally he was persuaded.
Be sure to do some research before taking action.
The person who gave him advice was very familiar with Longwu County, and even knew the location of the granaries in Nanyu County and Beishang County.
Qiu Cheng hesitated for several days and finally made up his mind.
If the food crisis is not solved, the diet will have to change.
So, I took Nanyu County to test my skills.
The whole process was surprisingly smooth and smooth.
There was almost no decent resistance or counterattack. They just burned a few places, killed some ordinary people, and then drew away the Nanyu County garrison. Qiu Cheng's troops moved away the granary, but he was still in a daze - was this really a plot by the enemy to invite you into the urn?
Normally speaking, there should be an ambush?
They waited and waited, and they all returned to their own territory before they could wait for the pursuers, let alone an ambush. Looking at the new food that was still smelling fresh, some soldiers gave themselves a slap in the face to confirm that they were not dreaming - this was actually real!
Qiu Cheng rubbed the rim of the wine cup with his fingers.
He smiled and said, "Not necessarily." He was not as optimistic as the general.
“A dog that bites does not bark.”
"Who knows if Shen Tang is a dog that doesn't bark?"
This success may be due to the fact that Shen Tang has no defense at all. An easy success cannot prove anything. We still need to see how the other party arranges the back-up plan. OK. However, the information brought back by the spies once again exceeded their guesses. Shen Tang took no other action except to increase his vigilance and carry out the autumn harvest step by step.
Are you really going to lose yourself by swallowing this dumb thing?
Qiucheng is suspicious.
At this time, a female voice sounded in the tent, sarcastically saying: "A dog that bites doesn't bark, but what if this dog is mute?"
The general and Qiu Cheng both looked over.
This woman is not very old, only about nine years old. She is dressed in light black clothes with plain makeup. She is as calm as water. There is no pearls on her temples. She just sits quietly from beginning to end, only listening. It wasn't until everyone started talking about "Shen Tang" that they had any reaction.
A hint of joy and hatred flashed through his eyes from time to time.
Qiu Cheng said: "Don't underestimate the enemy."
The tone of his words was very gentle.
Qiu Cheng would not show off to a meritorious official easily, and at the same time he also understood that the woman was involved in private affairs and was prejudiced and disliked against Shen Tang. Who told Shen Tang to take away all the men in the woman's household registration? There was a blood feud between the two sides.
The woman lowered her eyebrows.
My eyes fell on the monogram on my waist.
My fingers fiddle with the ears from time to time.
Qiu Cheng put down the wine cup.
"Send people to pay attention to Beishang County's actions..."
The granary in Nanyu County can only meet his immediate needs. If he wants to spend this year safely, there is still a big gap.
Since the neighbor is so fat and so easy to attack, a fool would only visit once. Nanyu County was just a small test to test Shen Tang's reaction and bottom line.
The dinner has not yet been served.
According to the information provided by the woman, Beishang County has a flatter terrain and more cultivated fields than Nanyu County. Shen Tang has put a lot of effort into this area and naturally produces more grain. It was roughly estimated that the grain stored in the grain depot could solve the salary problem of his soldiers for more than half a year, and Qiu Cheng had to be moved.
However, this time the action must be more thorough.
“Wei!”
Seeing that it was getting late, the general shared the good news and wisely withdrew, leaving Qiu Cheng with the woman. Before the two of them spoke, a few whispers came from outside the tent.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed smartly came in, carrying a food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the master has not handed over the meal so late, I know he is greedy for drinking again. How could my sister not persuade him? ”
━━(￣ー￣*|||━━
No matter how difficult it is next year, you still have to bite the bullet and arrange a second room. The quality of the owners in the community really affects the living experience. There has been so little rain in Zhejiang this year that the water has been off for more than a month. There is a water reservoir in the community, but it is not large. With the increase in occupancy this year, water supply will be limited for a limited time on blackout days.
This is the main premise.
In the evening, an owner downstairs in the same building suddenly and passionately cursed the owner in the group for stopping the water supply in advance. He used to close the water gate at 10:30, but today it stopped at 9:30, and his children were around 9:00. After class, I haven't taken a shower for more than a week, baba bala, greetings in various dialects. Just a reminder from Shiitake, it should have stopped when the reservoir ran out of water (that’s what Shiitake said).
After all, people and property are not the Dragon King, right? How can the water gate be shut down in advance? Can I make a fortune by keeping this water? You know there will be a water outage but you don't store water in advance. You don't need to flush the toilet when you go to the toilet at home? Why didn’t I know how to take a shower during those few days when there was water, and why I didn’t take a shower for more than a week...
There is no need to scold me so harshly in the group.
As a result, the owner barked at me and called my dad to complain (community resettlement house, in the same village), telling me not to be shameless. He told me many times in the group that he would give me face, and I would not do it again. Bibi doesn’t give face or anything like that...I...do I know him? ? ? If you have the guts to just climb up to the 7th floor and behead me, why are you calling my dad? My dad also asked me to apologize to others so as not to be targeted...
Fuck, we are both owners, who is lower than the other?
Then the property manager came out, and at first he was gentle and soft-spoken. But when he refused, the property manager invited him to come to the reservoir the day after tomorrow.
