"Masters of the family, it's been a long time." Wu Gen sat in the main seat in the big tent, smiling and bowing his hands to the four people in the tent.
In Gaoyuan City outside the tent, the sound of killing has not stopped. The fearless army has entered the city and is clearing out the stubborn enemies in the city.
It is difficult to attack a city, but it is even more difficult to eliminate the remaining enemies after it is captured. Especially in a big city like Gaoyuan City, the Heita family has been in business for many years, and there are many people in the city who are willing to live and die with the family.
The casualties of the Fearless Army also increased rapidly at this time, so that the military commanders had to personally enter the city to clear it up. On the contrary, the outside of the city became much quieter.
In the big tent, the four heads of the family, Mo Zhitai, An Siwei, Baili Qing, and Qizai, looked at each other and each stood up to salute Wu Gen.
Wu Gen pressed his hand down and looked at the four people in the tent. He suddenly felt like looking at the flowers blooming in the morning and looking at the empty branches at dusk.
There was a time when I had to be cautious not only when facing these people, but also when meeting their governors.
Now, these people are sitting quietly in the tent like quails, carefully guessing their own thoughts.
"Over the years, all the family heads have taken good care of our Fearless Army, and Wu Gen is extremely grateful." Wu Gen ordered people to serve tea to several family heads, and gestured to them with his hands.
"We are all acquaintances. I invite you here today to discuss how to deal with the area of Zuoheng Road near Hengmen Port."
"Please give me your orders, Commander-in-Chief." Mo Zhitai stood up first and behaved very respectfully. His youngest son has been sent to the Fearless Army. He is treated as a proton, but he doesn't want Wu Gen to have other plans.
Glancing at the four family heads, Wu Gen smiled slightly and gestured to Chu Xi. Chu Xi stood up and came to a map in the tent. She bowed to several family heads without being humble or overbearing, and pointed at the map and talked.
According to the Zuoheng Road demarcation line negotiated between Wu Gen and the Hua family, most of these four families are in the territory of the Fearless Army. Among them, the Qi family and the Baili family all fall into it, while the Mo Zhi family and the An Si family fall into it. Part of it was assigned to the Fearless Army.
Wu Gen planned to follow Ji Guo's approach. The Qi family and Baili family in their own territory must be dismissed and handed over to the control of the fearless army.
As for each family, they can keep their main city and serve as county magistrates, obeying the orders of the fearless army. As for the Mozhi family and the Ansi family, since the main city is outside, Wu Gen is planning to seize part of their territory. As for whether to retain the people and horses in the clan, it is up to the Hua family to decide, but the number of people to be retained must not exceed 500, otherwise the Fearless Army will Help them reduce their numbers.
After hearing Chu Xi's plan, the four family heads present turned pale and looked at each other. The eyes flickered, appearing complex and subtle.
Wu Gen didn't say anything. He picked up the tea cup and gently blew away a few tea leaves floating on the water. He took a sip with a smile and savored the sweetness of the tea, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"Captain Wu, this matter is very important. Can you...can you allow me to discuss it with the clan before I give you a reply?" In the unspeakable depression, Baili Qing finally couldn't help it anymore and stood up. He looked at Wu Gen with a fearful expression.
"Okay, okay, this kind of thing really needs to be discussed with the clan." Wu Gen had a warm face, a clear voice, and a shy smile like the boy next door,
"That's good. I think everyone should bring the letter falcon with them. Let's take three days. I'll ask all the family heads to come back here in three days. If you are willing to stay in the army for these three days, our fearless army will definitely protect you. . Of course, if you feel uncomfortable with food and accommodation, you can find another place to live. Don't worry, our army will never stop you." After getting a chance to breathe, the four family heads breathed a sigh of relief.
Bailiqing looked troubled and wanted to delay for some more time, but saw that Wu Gen had closed his eyes and said nothing, so he and the other family heads walked out of the tent with gloomy expressions.
When they got out of the tent, as Wu Gen said, someone came up and asked if they were willing to camp in the army. If not, they could leave the camp and no one stopped them.
In the big tent, Chu Xi looked at the backs of the four people and smiled slightly, then turned to Wu Gen and said calmly,
"Don't worry, Village Master, they will follow. However, the situation in the north is still unclear, so I still want to struggle. However, we must prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, colluding with outsiders, and disrupting the situation on Zuoheng Road." The smile on Wu Gen's face faded. Go, grab a date and stuff it into your mouth, chew it a few times and spit out the date core.
The jujube core drew a round arc and fell outside the tent. Wu Gen said coldly: "Let them make trouble, the more violent the better, just take the opportunity to completely cut them off. Pulling them over, just thinking that they can Quickly calm down the situation on Zuoheng Road, and because we have old friendships with a few people, it’s hard to do too much. If you are shameless, then we will tear up our skin and do it. I will definitely not give in to others on Zuoheng Road. .When the war here in Gaoyuan City is over, I will return north, leaving a force for you to command and escort the people in the city south. These families are more sensible, just plunder some of their money and troops. If you don't understand, don't be soft. Destroy them completely and don't leave any further trouble." Chu Xi nodded, he was a ruthless person, and he would eradicate the weeds without Wu Gen's orders.
Mo Zhitai, An Siwei, Baili Qing, and Qi Zai all agreed to stay in the Fearless Army. They are all smart people. If they run away, with the current power of the Fearless Army, they will have an excuse to attack their own territory. .
The reason why I wanted to delay for a while was to see if the Hulan family could win and whether their power, territory, and people could be preserved. However, the time given by Wu Gen was too tight, only three days. What should I do?
As a result, falcons kept flying out from the army and flying south quickly. Three days later, the entire Gaoyuan City was destroyed. As for the head of the family, Heita Yunfu, he was surrounded and killed by Cang Ye, Lu Zhou, Gu Guan and others.
Thanks to Wu Gen's shocking attack in Gaoyuan City, there were not many masters of the Heita family. After entering the city, apart from those annoying street battles, it was much easier to break into the Heita family's mansion.
According to the military order, the people in the city began to tear down the walls everywhere. It is difficult to build a city, but easy to destroy it. Under the pressure of the fearless army, these people living in Gaoyuan City can only look sad and destroy this big city that once protected them with their own hands.
Needless to say, the captured soldiers and horses in the city, even some of the common people, were sent to the south of Zuoheng Road to enrich the territory of the Fearless Army.
After all, only with talents can we have soldiers and horses, taxes, and food. Seeing the tall city wall being lowered little by little, and the waves of carriages and horses heading south one after another, the four heads of the family, including Mo Zhi and An Si, finally lowered their heads and agreed to Wu Gen's plan.
Of course, the Mo Zhi family and the An Si family can still keep their own families, but their territory has suddenly become much smaller, and it will be difficult to regain their former glory.
After the general strategy was decided, Wu Gen was too lazy to take care of it anymore and let Chu Xi take the specific responsibility. This time, Ha Bao led his men to attack the city successfully, so Wu Gen set up another partial army, with Ha Bao as the captain, with three songs in charge, and Liu Zheng, Zhang Yanpu and Hu Yanmo as the commanders.
Since Ha Bao had a small number of men, he incorporated people from the Heita family and his family into them, and recruited some more, making up a total of 10,000, responsible for the garrison of Zuoheng Road.
As for Xue Xin and other troops, they still have to go north to support the Huajia battle, and after the war they still have to return to Liangzhe Mountain. Zuoheng Road is too small to accommodate so many people. Moreover, it is close to the rising sea, and the terrain is relatively flat with not much depth.
Once attacked by a strong enemy, it is easier to deal with it if there are fewer people, but it is easier to be surrounded by more people.
"I'll leave first, and I'll leave it to you at Hengmen Port. You have to plan the port in advance and prepare for the construction of the water. Then Yufeng will come to help you. The sea route from Hengmen Port to Yingke Island must be controlled. In the hands of the Hulan family's navy, they must instigate rebellion as soon as possible and cannot give it to others. Outside the fire and thunder clouds in the distant sea, see if they can find some large islands, and they must find a place for the Rebel Army to settle. "Wu Gen and Chu Xi were walking and talking. In the distance, the Fearless Army was ready to go north to support the Hua family in the battle, and by the way, Wu Gen was sent back to Liangzhe Mountain.
"Don't worry, Village Master. Now that the Heita Family has been destroyed, there is no enemy on Zuoheng Road that can compete with our army. However, if the Hua Family comes on the scene, will they fulfill their original promise? If they turn against each other, there will be no enemy on Zuoheng Road. I can't hold it anymore." Chu Xi put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Wu Gen with a calm expression.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Now our fearless army does not have the strength to fight on two fronts. We can only rely on these families, dormant for a period of time, build up our strength, and wait for the time. The army is far away in Liangzhe Mountain, Zuoheng You can decide everything on your own here." Wu Gen looked at the smoke and dust stirred up by the horses running in the distance and sighed.
It's not that he doesn't want to put his army on Zuoheng Road. Unlike places such as Liangzhe Mountain that are ignored, this place is owned by the herdsmen. How can a foreign human race control it all?
Now the reason why the herdsmen allowed Wu Gen to attack the two provinces was because he saw that Wu Gen did not have a relatively stable and vast territory. Just like water without roots, it was noisy for a while but could not last long.
If Wu Gen dares to seize a province to stand on his own, believe it or not, all the shepherds from Kuntian Continent will come to kill him. So sometimes Wu Gen also wonders whether he should promote Chu Xi as a fearless military talker and form the Chu family or Chu country. In this case, the shepherds would be more accepting.
"The leader of the village, be careful. Now the Fearless Army has gradually come to the surface. It is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. If there is no big war, it is better to stay in Liangzhe Mountain." Chu Xi didn't know what Wu Gen was thinking, but he knew Regarding Wu Gen being threatened by Che Yunlu, he looked into the distance and suggested in a low voice.
"What is coming will always come. Even if the mouse hides, it will be found by the fox. Then only by letting itself grow fangs and sharp claws can it survive. Forget it, don't worry about me, you are not here either Be safe, be careful in everything, if someone makes trouble, take action as early as possible, don't hesitate." Wu Gen smiled and patted Chu Xi on the shoulder, turned around and got into the carriage.
"Let's go." Wu Gen raised his hand to signal.
"Take care." Chu Xi bowed, her back still so straight. The army turned around and headed north, escorting a long line of carriages and horses.
As the family closest to Hengmen Port, the Heita family is not only wealthy, but it has allowed the Fearless Army to gain a lot of trophies.
Wu Gen sat down in the carriage, and Yu Hao was having a drink in the carriage. The side dish was the Tianyan rice that Wu Gen had coveted for a long time.
"What are you doing?" Yuhao knocked away Wu Gen's hand that was reaching for Tianyanmi, and rolled her eyes at him.
"If you want to eat, pay." Wu Gen angrily grabbed a bottle of wine, raised his head and took a sip, complaining: "Your master occupies such a large secret realm, and there are so many treasures in it, but you are still so stingy."
"There are a lot of things, but what can you give me, can you give me nothing?" Yuhao leaned against the wall of the car, her graceful figure showing, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks.
Gently swipe your fingers across the red lips, peach red and plum white, and all kinds of charm are born. Wu Gen's throat squirmed, he raised the wine bottle and took two sips, then forcibly looked away, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
"Tell me what you want. I think you don't like this worldly wealth."
"I want you." Yuhao's eyes were blurred with drunkenness, her wet eyes seemed to melt everything, and she looked at Wu Gen unscrupulously.
Wu Gen threw the wine bottle and rushed forward, grabbing Yu Hao's wrist. The two of them were so close, their faces less than an inch apart, and their breaths were entangled together, making Yu Hao feel a strong oppression.
"You are neither male nor female, you are not my material. I guess you are not a woman who entertains people with sex, so don't act like a seductress. Tell me, what do you want." Wu Gen let go of the other party's hand. Hand, he withdrew with a sneer.
"It's a pity. If you can have an heir, you can be firmly tied to me. That's all." Yuhao sat up, swept away the coquettish demeanor just now, and said seriously: "I want to ascend to the Heavenly Palace." Wu Gen suddenly said He raised his head and stared at the other person in astonishment.
