Chapter 585 Chapter 585: Evil Neighbor (Part 2) [Request for monthly votes]
Shen Tang prides himself on being peaceful and recuperating for more than two years. He is as kind and gentle as a layman who eats fast and chants Buddha's name.
Unexpectedly, before she took the initiative to provoke others, Qiu Cheng, a neighbor, came to rob her granary. How could Shen Tang, who had not suffered a few big losses since his debut, endure this? However, this battle is not something that can be won simply by fighting.
Shen Tang was so angry.
Ask: "Why?"
Chu Yao explained the reason with a look of embarrassment.
It’s not just for the sake of it—
It’s mainly because of the autumn harvest.
This time is too embarrassing.
Nanyu County had to harvest early due to weather conditions, while several other counties were just about to start harvesting. The autumn harvest is a major event every year, requiring a large amount of manpower, and the government offices are busy... If Shen Tang ignores sending troops at this time, she may kick open the door of Qiu Cheng's lair, and other neighbors will get wind of it and send troops to her place for another attack. Purchase for zero yuan.
"...If I wait for this season to send troops, I will inevitably face the dilemma of not caring about the future. Who knows that this situation is not what Qiu Wenyan wants to see? If it is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, the people of Longwu County will lose all their hard work for a year. , Longwu County will become even more passive - Yao implores the Lord to calm down for a moment. "Of all the people present, Chu Yao is the most suitable person to stand up and say this.
Dare to flatter the angry lord.
Hearing this, Shen Tang took a deep breath subconsciously, closed his eyes to calm down for a while, then opened his eyes and asked him: "How long will it take?"
Chu Yao said: "As little as ten days, as much as half a month . ”
Let’s wait until the autumn harvest is over.
By then our troops will have enough food and food, so we won’t panic.
No matter how angry the lord is, he can only endure it temporarily for ten days and a half. He will wait until all the new grains this year are harvested and stored in the warehouse before sending troops to attack Qiu Cheng. Everyone in the government office must be careful to stick to the wall for the past two days. Whoever is unlucky enough to hit the Lord's gun will be waiting for the violent storm.
Shen Tang said: "It's too long."
Ten days and a half?
The food that the common people have worked hard to cultivate for a year has long been eaten by the group of cubs under Qiu Wenyan's tent. Not to mention eating so much, even if they took two licks, Shen Tang would have a heart attack just thinking about it. So, she thought of a "good way" to compromise.
"Since Qiu Wenyan is in the first year of junior high school, don't blame us for being in the fifteenth year. We are not the only ones who are hindered by the autumn harvest, but also those in Sibao County. He just ran away after robbing, and we ran away after burning. Anyway, we have to ask for it first. Return a sum of interest, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep!”
Start at their military camp!
Liao Jia is not optimistic about this.
"Lord, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
Shen Tang's mouth is faster than her brain. It really made her calm down to burn food, even if it was the enemy's food, she felt a little distressed. . But Lio Jia's words aroused her anger, and she asked: "Why not? Qiu Wenyan should have no defense."
Because Qiu Cheng was sure that Shen Tang would not fight back immediately.
He has plenty of time to complete the autumn harvest.
Liao Jiadao: "It's not because of that."
Tooth for tooth, eye for eye, the main premise of this method of retaliation is that the same attack can also cause damage to the enemy.
In order to make the fields grow food, my heroine took great pains. She asked brave warriors to dig canals and dig wells when necessary. She also had the national seal in her hand, and secretly used the excess to maintain the most basic "good weather" for the country's fortunes. It costs a lot of national fortune to open this national seal spirit once. This year's bumper harvest was achieved at a cost that outsiders could never imagine.
Qiucheng is not like the lord.
The Sibao County under his rule had a meager harvest last year, but this year the drought was a bit serious. Although he used certain means to rescue the drought, he was from a noble family after all and could not please the common people. , using brave warriors as hard labor.
Although Sibao County does not have a harvest this year, it does have only three melons and two dates, which is incomparable to the big landowner Shen Tang.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t target our fat sheep neighbors.
You can’t grow food in your own land, and neither can your neighbors.
What is the use of the Lord burning his fields?
She can only vent her anger and cause trouble for herself.
At this stage, it is not appropriate to reveal the existence of the national seal, so as not to provoke covetous attacks from all parties. Except for the border at Yonggu Pass guarded by Chu Jie, there is a national border barrier, and the "national border" adjacent to other counties and counties None, which is one of the reasons why Nanyu County was attacked. Liu Jia suddenly changed the topic.
Brows furrowed: "Compared with Qiu Wenyan's thunderous sneak attack, Jia is more curious about another thing - how did he know the location of the granary in Nanyu County? How did he do it like this? It’s so precise, the whole process is so smooth, and the goal is too clear..."
All they have to do is make it clear that there is a traitor within.
Of course, this does not mean that Shen Tang and his group of confidants are evil.
"Furthermore, the advance harvest of grain in Nanyu County was also made temporarily. Qiu Wenyan is too familiar with us. He either bribed someone or arranged a spy to inform him in advance." There is a high probability. The problem is at the grassroots level of management of the granary.
Liao Jia suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Yan.
“Which granary number was attacked?”
Ning Yan said: "No. 1."
"The biggest?"
"No."
Gu Chi thought thoughtfully: "Can you point out the location?"
Ning Yan searched for the map on the wall of the conference hall.
"It's roughly this location."
Everyone looked at the location pointed out by Ning Yan and suddenly thought of something, and so did Ning Yan. She drew a line with her finger and said: "Qiu Wenyan's soldiers and horses must have taken this abandoned mountain road and entered Nanyu County without anyone noticing... If this road passes, it is obviously closer to the No. 3 Granary. , the few troops stationed in the granary pose no threat to their five thousand troops."
Gu Chi heard that Shen Tang's thoughts coincided with his own, and said: "Yes, the location and size of the granary are important. Granary No. 1 is not on the route of Qiu Wenyan's surprise attack. Why did he choose to go far away instead of grabbing Granary No. 3? Instead, he risked alerting Captain Bai to lead a counterattack. Granary No. 1? Lord, remember, Granary No. 1 are all old granaries?”
Shen Tang reorganized the old granaries.
The original old granaries were all sorted one by two.
The newly built granary follows below.
If there is a traitor who leaks information, this person must be familiar with the old team, but has no chance to get close to the people in the new team.
"...That's it, the scope is too big."
It's not easy to find such a person.
Gu Chi said: "No, these are enough."
This proves that "eyeliner" ability only goes so far.
If you are on guard, it will be easier to defend yourself.
Shen Tang calmly sat back down, stroking the paper that she couldn't put down in her hands, and her mind began to move.
"That's right - it's right. Instead of taking the initiative to send troops, it's better to invite you into the urn and wait for the rabbit... Qiu Wenyan, an old boy who is so short of food, tastes a little sweetness, it is impossible not to come a second time. Wuhui , pass my order——"
If you are an adult, be prepared.
On the one hand, he was preparing for war. If the autumn harvest ended successfully, he would send troops to Qiu Wenyan's lair. On the other hand, he made the illusion that the autumn grain was put into the No. 1 granary, but in fact he was lying in wait for Qiu Wenyan to take action again. Observing the terrain position, apart from Nanyu County, only Beishang County, which borders Sibao County, is the most likely next target.
As for the internal traitor——
There is no best, if there is——
She will make the other party regret coming to this world!
Today I went to Wenzhou Affiliated One again. Alas, the round trip took two hours. Although Shiitake doesn't get car sick, he feels extremely tired after every ride and sleeps extremely hard.
Fortunately, my loved one’s minimally invasive surgery was successful. I will be under observation for one night tonight and will be discharged from the hospital and go home tomorrow.
PS: The most anticipated battle of Shiitake Mushrooms is about to begin again, hehe.
