Chapter 1623: Sweeping the World
After returning, Wen Rensheng summoned everyone and announced: "Regulate the army and prepare for war. The troops are divided into three groups, one to conquer the south, one to conquer the west, and one to conquer the north."
He has seen his opponent's cards clearly.
It is not necessary and cannot be delayed any longer.
As for the three-year agreement with the court not to interfere with each other and the war, can it be called cheating?
That's called strategy.
Besides, it was Blind Man Guo who deceived him. What does it have to do with Wen Rensheng?
From the moment he came to this script, he never admitted that it was him.
"Isn't it a taboo for military strategists to divide their troops into three groups?" the fourth hall master questioned.
As an old man, he seeks safety. In his opinion, we should first establish a territory instead of dividing our troops as soon as they come up.
"Do military experts have our advantages?" Wen Rensheng asked with a smile.
"This...is indeed not true." The Fourth Hall Master shook his head.
"Well, there are 8,000 people in each route. First, establish a three-division structure and bring in enough candidates. As for where to hit, we will hit until the candidates are completely arranged." Wen Rensheng continued.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at it this way, the Holy Master was very clear-headed and did not expand wantonly just because he defeated the strongest Donghan people.
The current candidates can cover ten counties at best, covering five million people.
However, how could they possibly guess what Wen Rensheng was thinking?
Three groups come out together.
The first road went east and encountered the county seat sixty miles away. As soon as the army arrived, the county magistrate opened the city and surrendered.
"The guilty minister Wu Ziang welcomes the heavenly army."
"The guilty minister came late to welcome me, but I hope I can be forgiven."
The general leading the army was a little curious and asked: "You are so wise and very good. But why are you so straightforward?"
The county magistrate quickly said with sincerity and fear: "The imperial court faced the Donghan people and suffered repeated defeats. The Heavenly Army easily defeated them in two battles. How can we resist?"
"Very good, very good. "The general was overjoyed and immediately understood why the Holy Master suddenly ordered everyone to go out.
This is because the surrounding fruits are all ripe and will rot if they are not picked.
But even so, the general still strictly followed the procedures for entering the city.
Enter Xia.com to check if there is any ambush and explore the public sentiment.
After everything is done, enter the city, establish three divisions, count the population, and clean up the accumulated abuses...
The county magistrate cooperates very well.
It’s exactly like welcoming Master Wang.
The same goes for the other two routes.
It was not until the third county seat was attacked on the west route that they encountered firm resistance.
However, this resistance is too ridiculous.
A palace master, like Lei Zhenzi on the list of gods, flew directly to the top of the city, and the soldiers collapsed.
Only the county magistrate resisted with a sword.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, Great Yan has been raising men for three hundred years, and Chen will die today!"
The sword was waved in disorder, and the palace master stood three feet away, watching him play tricks.
Half a moment later, the county magistrate was panting, holding his sword and asked: "Why are you rebelling? The people rebelled because they couldn't survive. This county can understand, but you all have good food and housing. Well, no one dares to bully you, so why should you resist?”
The palace master thought to himself, you ask me, who should I ask?
I don’t want to rebel at all, isn’t this all forced?
However, there are still standard answers.
"Ask them..." The palace master pointed to the idlers on the far side of the city wall who were watching the excitement.
Of course more people are watching the fun online.
"The Heavenly Army was invited by us! They give us 80 wages a day, but we can't find any work here, and when we find work, we are deducted!" said an idle man boldly.
"I can't live anymore! All day long, I can only be a beggar, and I have to be bullied by your officials. They never care about our life or death, they only know how to collect taxes!"
"How good is Wuguan County? Everything is taken care of. People who have no work are also organized and go to the construction sites to protest. They are paid every day and never withhold money!" "You, you, Thunder Rain and Dew, all It's your kindness. How can you blame the court if you don't work hard? The court is in troubled times and has to fight against the rebellion. Why don't you be considerate of the court?" Magistrate Chen said sincerely.
“If you are considerate of the court, who will be considerate of us? We don’t know what will happen to the court tomorrow, and we won’t be able to survive tomorrow!”
To be honest, compared to In the north and northwest, south and southwest, if there is a generation of Yan, they will not starve to death.
But that depends on the warm climate and sufficient rainfall, which can be supplemented by wild vegetable sprouts in the wild.
Times were not easy.
County Magistrate Chen is still persuading: "If you continue to persevere, when the court calms down, it will naturally lighten the tax and rest with the people."
"Hahaha, take this Are you trying to fool us? How can you lower the assessment? Your government office has more than 30 government officials, more than 200 white people, and a clerk, a master... a lot of people. They all need to eat and pay. Where did it come from? Didn't it come from our hands?" the idle man asked again.
“You invited the rebels, why don’t you invite these people?”
“We can’t use so many people. We entrust the money and grain to the bank to collect them, and we never collect more. The number of people There are only a few dozen people in the third division.”
"You have been deceived. If you have less now, you will have more in the future!" County Magistrate Chen said harshly.
"At least I can live a good life now, who cares about the future!"
Magistrate Chen has nothing to say.
Of course he knew that in recent years, the superiors had been chasing after them more and more, and they directly questioned the county magistrates. He heard that the magistrates of some poor counties were forced to hang themselves by their superiors because their taxes could not be raised.
In poor counties, the landlords have no surplus food.
If the county magistrate is like this, let alone the common people?
“Take it away!” the palace master waved.
"Well, County Magistrate Chen used to be fair, and he would try his best to let big households contribute money. Sir, I hope he can be spared." Someone said boldly.
"You see, justice is in the heart of the people. If you have done good deeds, naturally someone will remember you." The palace master pointed at the man and said to County Magistrate Chen.
Magistrate Chen was ashamed, but his desire to die had faded away.
After all, if he really wanted to die, he would just hang himself from the beam or jump off the city wall instead of waiting for someone to kill him with his sword.
This is just a small episode.
The three-pronged army took over eight counties within half a month and exhausted their manpower before stopping.
There were very few casualties, only a few who were killed or injured after entering the city.
Street fighting is inevitable.
There are always people loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty.
…………
“Lao Guo, aren’t you impatient? Why are we attacking in three directions now? I knew you were still willing to listen to my reasonable opinions.” Zhao Han Lying on the ground, he said very proudly.
"Why do I listen to you? I just act according to the times." Wen Rensheng sighed.
He can't imagine now, how Zhao Han will face this history of letting himself go after returning to his original life?
Well, yes, you must learn from yourself.
Don’t admit it, don’t recall it, don’t mention it.
As expected, like a teacher, there must be a disciple.
“The time has come. Has the time come?”
“The time has come.”
"Why can't I see it?"
"You can see it if you spend the time chewing bones on observing the general trend of the world."
"Tch, I'm eating bones , Looking at the general trend of the world, how many years are there before complete chaos?"
"Then you should know that an evil force has entered the situation."
"I know. Those civilian troops often went crazy and often defeated the captured government troops. ”
"Well, that evil force is our biggest opponent."
