Chapter 206 206: Xiaocheng chaos (forty-six) [ask for a monthly ticket]
"So it is."
Wu Yuan agreed with each other.
But there was a huge wave in his heart.
This is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually do it. There are indeed many poor people, but most of them are mixed in the crowd to put on a show, just take money and do nothing, and there are even prostitutes who sneak away when they get benefits.
These are disobeying orders.
Those people who are willing to obey the command are also easy to hold back.
It is not easy to dispatch dozens or hundreds of people who have no training foundation and ask them to follow the plan.
It's just that Shen Tang didn't say anything, and Wu Yuan couldn't get to the bottom of it.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if he asks.
Because there is no command and dispatch at all.
No technical content.
Shen Tang and others asked these "common people" to rush in, shouting louder the better.
When you see the door, you kick the door, and when you see people, you beat them. The granary is not in the clan land where those families live in groups, and the location is remote. The people you meet are basically guards. She will not be responsible for any injury or death caused by placing an order.
These people may be ignorant, but they are definitely not idiots who don’t know how to hide with a knife on their necks. They just need to run and smash and get ten catties of food. Is there any easier job than this? Who would rush to place orders and seek death?
Wu Yuan asked again: "How do righteous men know the location of the granary?"
"The clues found in the former sheriff's study."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Gong Cheng.
She and Gong Cheng found that box of account books together.
The theory of credit is also the credit of the two.
Wu Yuan: "Really?"
Gong Cheng said with a smile: "Of course it is true. The former prefect Yancheng had a close relationship with the aristocratic families like Xiaocheng, and he had done a lot of dirty things in private. Yancheng is not stupid. Leave some evidence to handle."
These handles are naturally intended to constrain Xiaocheng’s local forces, which can not only make cooperation closer and bind interests tighter, but also deter collaborators. Among them is the situation of each family, and Yan Cheng has a clear understanding of their background.
Unfortunately, he has no luck.
In the end, it was cheaper for Shen Tang.
When she got the boxes, she planned out the order of looting for each house, ensuring that she could visit them all in one night, and ransacked the granary with lightning speed.
This is still cutting off food, if it is a night attack to burn food, it can be faster.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, which made Gong Cheng dumbfounded. It was completely unexpected that this brother-in-law who looks gentle and petite, male and female, has an unknown side, acting so decisively and swiftly, cleanly and without any muddling.
At the same time, I feel that it is a pity that if the current situation is not chaotic, with the ability of his wife and brother, he will definitely do something in the peaceful and prosperous age.
Wu Yuan listened carefully on the surface, and nodded approvingly from time to time. Gu Chi was the only one present besides himself who knew what his true thoughts were. But Gu Chi just lowered his head, drank tea quietly, neither spoke nor commented, and his sense of presence was weak.
Wu Yuan asked again: "Then—what's the harvest this time?"
He added another sentence.
"How long can it support the defenders?"
Gong Cheng didn't hear the sourness in Wu Yuan's words, he took out an account book from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "I was busy checking the grain and grass and put it into the warehouse, so I was late. Because of time constraints, the numbers on the account book There is a discrepancy with the reality, but it should not be big."
Wu Yuan flipped through it casually.
The above numbers would make him speechless.
If a few years ago, Sibao County had not been invaded by war, it would not be surprising for Wu Yuan to have so much grain in the granary, but what time is it now? Their granaries are still full! Not yet one! The local snake really deserves to be a local snake!
Wu Yuan sneered in his heart—if he could learn their housekeeping skills, he would be able to scrape three to five catties of oil and water from even the barren soil!
He closed the account book, his brows were filled with joy, he let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "That's great! With these grains, the defenders can hold off the rebels for a little longer."
Gu Chi's lips curved into a thin smile.
Well, it’s really good. It would be better if Wu Yuan’s voice and words can be consistent. Gu Chi watched coldly, watching Wu Yuan trying to attract Shen Tang, watching Shen Tang pretending to be confused...but based on his understanding of Shen Lang, there was a high probability that Shen Lang didn't understand.
"Can Yunchi have a way to make these righteous men work for me?"
Wait for Shen Tang and the others to leave, Wu Yuan held Gong Cheng's hand affectionately, with a gesture of seeking talents. He had thought about recruiting Qishan before, but was thrown cold water by the former county guard Yancheng.
I didn't expect to meet again.
There is more than one talent.
Gong Cheng is already a useless person who has abolished the Dan Mansion. Apart from his status, he can do some work, and his internal affairs skills can also help him solve his problems, but it is not worth mentioning compared with the few praying for goodness. Fortunately, Qishan said that Wenxin's grade is not high, but Chu Yao is different!
The real heart of Erpin Shangzhong!
Gong Shuwu's martial arts level is not clear, 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 Beimo, the kingship will be at his fingertips.
Gong Cheng didn't answer, but looked at Gu Chi in embarrassment.
Gu Chi: "Didn't you see it?"
Wu Yuan was unclear, so: "What didn't you see?"
Gu Chidao: "Obviously Shen Tang is the main one among the three praying for goodness."
Half-baked and want to annex people?
Wu Yuan: "..."
He looked at Gong Cheng again.
Gong Cheng bit the bullet and nodded, and said: "Uncle Gong's position is not clear, but Mr. Chu and Mr. Qi obviously are. Even if they don't have this kind of relationship, it will be difficult to recruit them."
"Why?"
Wu Yuan has to get to the bottom of it.
During the years when he was a hostage in Xin Guo, he made friends secretly and attracted many people, but these people followed him because of the benefits he gave, and they sought benefits that were visible to the naked eye—such as gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth. However, it is conceivable that this kind of person can be bought and wooed with only money.
Not to mention absolute, the overall standard is indeed not much higher.
He wants to seek real talents!
What a pain to meet but not belong to me!
Gong Cheng could only say: "My brother-in-law is from the Shen family."
Shen's surname is Shen, but it is not the "Shen" of the royal family of Xin.
Although it is said that a family walks up and down the golden mean, it will neither be too prominent to attract people's envy, nor too mediocre to be ignored. It looks ordinary and mediocre, but it does not mean that they are spineless and lifeless. On the contrary, they are full of temper.
Stubborn is tough!
Otherwise, my father would not be able to convince his father-in-law Shen Gong to confront Zheng Qiao, who was in the limelight and favored the inner court at that time, and tried his best to prevent him from returning to the country. Shen did not wait to see Zheng Qiao, nor did she want to see Bei Mo.
Just because Wu Yuan was born in Beimo, it is impossible for his brother-in-law who was born in the Shen family to agree to his solicitation, so let's give up as soon as possible.
Wu Yuan didn't realize it: "So what about being born in the Shen family?"
Gong Cheng said: "There are feuds in the ancestors."
Bei Mo was previously the experience package for the younger generation of the Northwest countries to earn their military reputation, and the Shen family naturally has others. The experience package is not a wooden stake for others to stand on, and the combat effectiveness is not low. On the battlefield, there are swords and swords, and any accident may happen.
Of course, this is not the biggest reason.
The biggest reason is that Shen has always advocated the main battle.
When Xin Guo was at its strongest, his father-in-law, Shen Gong, wrote letters more than once, hoping to destroy Beimo in one go, leaving this hidden danger to cause big trouble sooner or later! If the father-in-law Shen Gong under Jiuquan knew that his wife and brother followed Wu Yuan, he would be furious!
"Praying for good is not enough, Shen Tang can't, what about Chu Yao?"
Gu Chi asked rhetorically: "Mr. Lang thinks that this Chu Yao has the same name and surname as the 'Chu Yao' of the Three Heroes of Chu Kingdom?"
He led his troops to fight against Beimo.
Wu Yuan was sent to Xin Guo as a proton, and Chu Yao was also credited.
Are you sure there is such a measure to accept Chu Yao?
Wu Yuan's face turned ashen.
Gu Chi said again: "As for Gong Shuwu, Qi Shan and Chu Yao are following him, and he saved it for Shen Tang..."
Another place—
Qi Shan and Chu Yao are not in a good mood either.
Shen Tang thought it was because they couldn't find Lin Feng and them.
then comforted: "No news is the best news."
Chu Yao, who was comforted, looked puzzled.
"What?"
"Aren't you worried about Lin Feng and the others?"
Chu Yao: "..."
Answer yes or no.
The former is lying, but the latter sounds too cold.
"Didn't Mr. Lang hear that?" Qishan held a stick in his hand, and one end of the stick was tied with a feather plucked from some big white goose, which made the vegetarians turn around. Su Shang's front paw stepped on his back paw, and he staggered and fell on the soft cloth cushion.
"What?"
Qi Shan said: "That person wants to recruit you."
As he spoke, he picked up Su Shang, who was holding the feather and didn't let go of his claws.
Shen Tang was a little too late to remember who "that person" was from. He was startled, and pointed at himself: "Wu Yuan wants to recruit me?"
Qi Shan asked back: "You don't know?"
Worse, could it be that the sequelae of both civil and military cultivation appeared? I really worry about Mr. Shen Xiaolang's mind, so obvious that he can't see it.
Shen Tang was dumbfounded for a moment: "...I really don't know."
She didn't even notice it.
Shen Tang defended himself.
"I didn't think about that at all."
Although her current family background is very poor, even worse than that of the emperor's uncle after being married in Taoyuan, each of them is a human high-quality literary counselor. After winning Gong Shuwu in the future, the number of people in the team can be promoted from three (one cat) to four (one cat).
Let’s go back and meet up with Tanuki and the others—
Occupying the mountains and becoming king can be regarded as having a foundation. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and no matter how small its power is, it can be regarded as one of the princes—at least it is better than the so-called war of a hundred villages. Unless Shen Tang has lost his wits, why don't he leave the opportunity to start a business and work for other bosses? ? ?
Still bring your own team to work for others?
Shen Tang said: "It is impossible for me to agree."
The expressions of Qi Shan and the two were subtle.
Of course they knew it was impossible, but they were just a little upset.
With ample supply of food and grass, the morale of the floating army has stabilized.
Shen Tang also went out for two days to find the whereabouts of Lin Feng and the two of them. He almost turned the entire land of Xiaocheng upside down, destroyed several illegal dens, and rescued the innocent people, but he still found nothing.
"If we can't find anyone again, we will go out of the city to look for them."
Shen Tang sighed.
If outside the city—
Don't say that Lin Feng's two and a half older children, even a few adults in the butcher's family, are extremely difficult to survive. On the way to escape, the crisis faced is not only food shortage, but also refugees from the same human beings, bandits and rebels who have fallen into bandits.
The chances of survival are extremely slim.
I knew so—
Shen Tang couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "If I had known this, it would be better to let Lin Feng stay on the mountain and follow Li Li to be safer."
Chu Yao had no choice but to comfort Shen Tang in turn. It was not her fault. Who would have expected that the rebel army led by King Xi would attack at this time?
The blame can only be blamed on King Zhu, Zheng Qiao.
If something happened to Lin Feng and Tu Rong...
Chu Yao's eyes glowed dangerously.
He must sacrifice the heads of King Xi and others!
boom-
There was a muffled sound.
Tu Rong, who was worried by Shen Tang and the others, was kicked flying.
Immediately afterwards, a sharpened wooden stick dropped from his hand and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to turn over and jump up, an identical 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 there is no strength? Come again!"
At this time, he was gray-faced, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and his face was even bigger than usual. Chu Yao might not even recognize him when he came. He rushed forward with a wooden stick, but was beaten back in embarrassment after a while. Repeated back and forth dozens of times, old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added.
Until the last time, he stood up and fell back down.
The person opposite gave up.
The young man squatted down to look at him: "Is it too young?"
Tu Rong was in pain all over his body.
The mouth is still stubborn: "Who said I can't do it?"
Youth: "If you can, stand up and go back."
Tu Rong lying on the ground: "..."
He really can't do this.
After two failed attempts, the young man got impatient. He grabbed his collar and carried it on his shoulders. Regardless of the fact that the shoulder armor would aggravate Tu Rong's injuries, he strode back to the military tent.
Tu Rong resisted the urge to vomit because of the discomfort 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 who sat next to him, squeezed a handful of warm water, and wiped the sweat off his body with a cloth towel, Tu Rong muttered softly.
The young man didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows: "Speak loudly."
Tu Rong obediently said loudly: "Are you so busy?"
I haven't seen how he went out these days.
Is being a general so easy?
He thought that being a general was not training soldiers, commanding wars, or dealing with military affairs, and young people were either beating him in the school grounds or beating beads with him in the military tent every day. The key is that his beads are still very bad, and he can always win three out of five rounds.
Youth sneered.
"I'm free? I'm free. If I get busy and disappear, the head of Yan Luodian will have a headache."
Because there are too many lonely ghosts who went to report!
Youth are happy to be at leisure.
Even when others come to find fault, I can calmly deal with it.
just so—
The less you think about something, the easier it is for something to happen.
At this time, someone came from outside the account.
The voice is urgent: "Major General, there is a war!"
The young man who was picking pearls gave a pause.
Sitting aside and practicing meditation, Lin Feng opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
Could it be that Xiaocheng sent troops?
Youth categorically rejects this possibility.
Xiaocheng wished he could shrink back into the turtle shell, and was used to the corpses thrown in every day, so why would he risk his life and send troops?
If it's not them, who is sending troops at this juncture?
