"That's it."
Wu Yuan agreed.
But there was a huge wave in his heart.
This is easy to say, but not easy to actually do. There are indeed many people in slums, but not all of them are the ones who get paid to do things. Most of them are prostitutes who just show off among the crowd, take money and do nothing, or even just take the benefits and sneak away.
These are disobedient.
Those people who are willing to obey orders are also easily held back. After all, not everyone understands official Chinese, and not every person can understand instructions. Rather than asking someone for clarification, they prefer to act according to their own understanding and go their own way.
It is not an easy task to dispatch dozens or hundreds of people with no training foundation and ask them to follow the plan.
But if Shen Tang didn't say anything, Wu Yuan wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of it.
In fact, it didn’t matter if he asked.
Because there is no command and dispatch at all.
There is no technical content at all.
What Shen Tang and others asked of these "common people" was to rush in and shout as loudly as possible.
If you see a door, you will kick it. If you see someone, you will follow them and beat them. However, for the sake of their lives, try to follow your own actions. Because the granaries are not located in the clan areas where families live in groups, most of them are in remote locations. The people I met were basically the guards who stayed behind.
She is not responsible if someone is injured or killed.
These people may be ignorant, but they are definitely not fools who don't know how to hide when a knife is placed on their necks. They can get ten kilograms of grain by just running around and smashing them. Is there any easier job than this? Who would rush to be alone and seek death?
Wu Yuan asked again: "How does a righteous man know the location of the granary?"
Shen Tang said: "Clues found in the former magistrate's study."
After saying that, she looked at Gong Cheng.
She and Gong Cheng found that box of account books together.
In terms of credit, it is also the credit of two people.
Wu Yuan asked: "Seriously?"
Gong Cheng replied with a smile: "Of course it is true. The former county governor Yan Cheng has a close relationship with Xiaocheng and other aristocratic families, and has done a lot of dirty things in private. Yan Cheng is not stupid, and he must do everything he does. Leave some evidence behind."
These handles are naturally intended to constrain the local forces in Xiaocheng. They can not only make cooperation closer and interests more tightly bound, but also serve as a deterrent to collaborators. That box of account books contained information about each family, and Yan Cheng had a clear understanding of their background.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the luxury to endure it.
In the end, Shen Tang got the advantage.
When she got the box, she planned out the order in which to rob each house, ensuring that she could visit them all in one night, and rob the granary at lightning speed. This is still cutting off food. If it were a night attack to burn food, she could do it faster.
The whole process was so smooth that Gong Cheng was stunned. He had no idea that this seemingly gentle and petite brother-in-law with a male-female appearance had an unknown side. He acted so decisively and swiftly, neatly and without any sloppiness.
At the same time, he felt that it was a pity. If the current situation had not been chaotic, with his wife and brother's ability, he would have done something in the peaceful and prosperous times.
Wu Yuan seemed to be listening attentively, nodding in approval from time to time. Apart from himself, only Gu Chi knew what his true thoughts were in his heart. But Gu Chi just lowered his head and drank tea quietly, without talking or commenting, and his sense of presence was weak.
Wu Yuan asked again: "Then - what's the harvest like this time?"
he added.
"How long can it supply the defenders with soldiers?"
Gong Cheng didn't hear the sourness in Wu Yuan's words. He took out an account book from his sleeve and presented it to him, saying: "I was busy counting the grain and grass before putting it into the warehouse, and now I'm late. Because time is tight, the numbers on the account book There is a discrepancy with the actual situation, but it shouldn’t be significant.”
Wu Yuan flipped through it casually.
Even he was secretly stunned by the numbers above.
If a few years ago, Sibao County had not been invaded by war, Wu Yuan would not be surprised that the granary had so much food, but what time of year is it now? Their granaries are still full! Not even one! The local snake is indeed a local snake!
Wu Yuan sneered in his heart - if he could learn their special skills, he could scrape three to five kilograms of oil and water from even the poorest soil!
He closed the account book, joy appeared on his brows, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Great! With these grains, the soldiers defending the city can hold off the rebels for a little longer."
A thin smile curled up at the corner of Gu Chi's lips.
Well, it's indeed good. It would be better if Wu Yuan's voice and words could be consistent. Gu Chi watched coldly, watching Wu Yuan try to recruit Shen Tang, watching Shen Tang pretending to be confused... But based on his understanding of Shen Lang, Shen Lang probably didn't understand.
"Is there any way Yunchi can use these righteous men to my advantage?" After Shen Tang and others left, Wu Yuan held Gong Cheng's hand affectionately, as if he was thirsty for talents. He had previously thought about recruiting Qishan, but was poured cold water on him by the former governor Yan Cheng.
I didn't expect to see each other again.
There is more than one talent.
Gong Cheng is already a useless person who has deposed Dan Mansion. Apart from his identity, he can make some contributions, and his internal affairs talents can also help him relieve his worries, but they are nothing compared to Qi Shan and others. Qi Shan is okay, Wen Xin is not a high grade, but Chu Yao is different!
A living second-grade Chinese heart!
The level of Gong Shuwu's martial courage is unclear, 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 the Northern Desert, the royal power will be at his fingertips.
Gong Cheng didn't answer, but looked at Gu Chi with a troubled expression.
Gu Chi: "Don't you see it?"
Wu Yuan was confused: "What didn't you see?"
Gu Chi said: "It is obvious that Shen Tang is the leader among the three people in Qishan."
Are you still trying to annex people?
Wu Yuan: "..."
He looked at Gong Cheng again.
Gong Cheng nodded bravely and said: "The position of Gongshu Yishi is unclear, but Mr. Chu and Mr. Qi obviously are. Even if they are not related in this way, it will be difficult to recruit them."
"Why?"
Wu Yuanfei had to get to the bottom of it.
During the years when he was a hostage in Xin State, he secretly made friends and won over many people, but these people all followed him because of the benefits he gave, and they were looking for visible benefits - such as gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth. However, it is conceivable that such people can be bribed and won over with only money. Not to say absolutely, but the overall level is indeed not much higher.
He only wants to find real talents!
How painful it is to touch something but it doesn’t belong to you!
Gong Cheng could only say: "My wife's brother is from the Shen family."
Shen's surname is Shen, but it is not the "Shen" of the Xin King's royal family.
Although the people in one school follow the golden mean, they are neither too prominent to attract jealousy nor too mediocre to be ignored. They look ordinary and mediocre, but it does not mean that they have no spine or spirit. On the contrary, they are very angry.
Even those who are stubborn are hard-core!
Otherwise, his father would not be able to persuade his father-in-law, Duke Shen, to confront Zheng Qiao, who was in great power at that time and favored the inner court, and tried his best to prevent Zheng Qiao from returning to the Geng Kingdom. The Shen family doesn't want to see Zheng Qiao, nor does it want to see people from Beimo.
Just because Wu Yuan was from the Northern Desert, it was impossible for his brother-in-law, who was born in the Shen family, to agree to his solicitation. It was better to give up as soon as possible.
Wu Yuan did not react: "So what if I am born in the Shen family?"
Gong Cheng said: "There is a feud between our ancestors."
The Northern Desert had previously been a source of experience for the young generation from the northwest countries to gain a reputation for military exploits, and the Shen family naturally had their own talent. Experience packs are not just stakes for people to stand on, and their combat effectiveness is not low. The battlefield is full of swords and swords, and any accident can happen.
Of course, this is not the biggest reason.
The biggest reason is that Shen has always advocated the main battle.
When Xin's country was at its strongest, his father-in-law Shen Gong wrote to him more than once, hoping to destroy the Northern Desert in one go. If this hidden danger is left behind, something big will happen sooner or later! If Mr. Shen, the father-in-law under Jiuquan, knew that his wife and brother had followed Wu Yuan, he would probably be furious!
Wu Yuan: "If you can't pray for kindness, Shen Tang can't do it, what about Chu Yao?"
Gu Chi asked back: "Does Mr. Lang think that this Chu Yao has the same name as the 'Chu Yao' of the Three Great Masters of the Chu State?"
He led his troops to defeat the Northern Desert.
Wu Yuan was sent to Xin State as a hostage and Chu Yao had a share of the credit.
Are you sure you have the strength to accept Chu Yao?
Wu Yuan's face turned pale.
Gu Chi added: "As for Gong Shuwu, Qi Shan and Chu Yao are keeping an eye on him, and they are keeping it for Shen Tang..."
The implication behind the words is that if you don’t want to be stabbed to death by these two black-hearted counselors, don’t covet the prey they are targeting, unless Wu Yuan now has absolute strength and is not afraid of these. Wu Yuan took a deep breath and swallowed the turbid air unwillingly.
Another place——
Qishan and Chu Yao were not in a good mood either.
Shen Tang thought it was because they couldn't find Lin Feng.
Then he said with relief: "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: "..."
The answer is yes or no.
The former lies, and the latter sounds too cold.
"Mr. Lang, didn't you hear that?" Qi Shan held a stick in his hand, with feathers plucked from an unknown big white goose tied to one end, making the businessman circle around. Su Shang stepped on his front paws and his back paws, staggered and fell onto 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 his feathers without letting go of his claws.
It took Shen Tang a moment to remember who this "that person" was. He was stunned, pointed at himself and said, "Wu Yuan wants to recruit me?"
Qi Shan asked back: "You don't know?"
Oops, could it be that the sequelae of practicing both civil and military skills have appeared? I'm really worried about Shen Xiaolangjun's mind, it's so obvious that he can't see it.
Shen Tang was speechless for a moment: "...I really don't know."
She didn't even notice it.
Shen Tang defended himself.
"I didn't think about it at all."
Although her family background is now very thin, even worse than that of her imperial uncle after they became sworn friends in Taoyuan, every one of them is a high-quality human resource person. When Gong Shuwu is captured in the future, the number of people in the team will be promoted from three people (one cat) to four people (one cat).
Let’s go back and meet up with Lili and the others——
Taking over a mountain and becoming king can be regarded as having a foundation. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. No matter how small the power is, it is still considered one of the princes - at least it is better than the so-called war of a hundred villages. Unless Shen Tang has become wise, why not put aside the opportunity to start a business and work for other bosses? ? ?
And bring your own team to work for others?
Shen Tang said: "It is impossible for me to agree."
The expressions of Qishan and Qi Shan were subtle.
Of course they knew it was impossible, but they just felt a little unhappy.
With ample supplies of food and grass, the floating military morale stabilized. Shen Tang also spent two days running around looking for the whereabouts of Lin Feng and the two of them. He almost turned over the entire Xiaocheng area, destroyed several illegal dens, and rescued innocent people, but still found nothing.
"If we can't find anyone again, we'll go out of the city to look for him."
Shen Tang sighed.
If outside the city——
Not to mention Lin Feng's two and a half-year-old children, it is extremely difficult for even a few adults in the Butcher's family to survive. On the way to escape, the crisis faced is not only food shortage, but also refugees from fellow humans, bandits and rebels who have turned into bandits.
The chances of survival are extremely slim.
Had I known this——
Shen Tang couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "If I had known this, it would be safer to let Lin Feng and the two stay on the mountain and follow Li Li..."
Chu Yao had no choice but to comfort Shen Tang. It was not her fault. Who could have expected that the rebels led by King She would launch an attack at this time?
The blame can only be blamed on King Pig and Zheng Qiao.
If something happens to Lin Feng and Tu Rong...
Chu Yao's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
He must use the heads of King Pig and others as a blood sacrifice!
boom--
There was a muffled sound.
Tu Rong, who was worried by Shen Tang and others, was kicked away.
Immediately afterwards, a wooden stick sharpened at one end fell to the ground. Just as he was about to turn over and jump up, a similar wooden stick was pressed against his neck.
"Why are you still lying down? No strength left? Get up!"
Tu Rong gritted his teeth, picked up the stick and got up from the ground.
"Who said we have no strength? Come again!"
At this time, his face was gray, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was bigger than usual. Even Chu Yao might not recognize him when he came. He rushed forward with a wooden stick, but was beaten back in embarrassment after a while. I went back and forth dozens of times, adding new wounds to old ones before they healed.
Until the last time, he stood up and fell back down.
The person on the other side gave up.
The young man knelt down and looked at him: "You can't do it at such a young age?"
Tu Rong was in pain all over his body.
He said harshly: "Who said I can't do it anymore?"
Young man: "If you can, stand up and go back by yourself."
Tu Rong lying on the ground: "..."
He really can't do this anymore.
After two failed attempts, the young man became impatient. Tu Rong suddenly lost weight and looked away from the ground. It turned out that the young man grabbed him by the collar and carried him on his shoulders, not caring that the shoulder armor would aggravate Tu Rong's injuries. He strode back to the military tent.
Tu Rong resisted the uncomfortable urge to vomit 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.
Tu Rong looked at the young man sitting next to him, squeezed a handful of warm water, wiped the sweat on his body with a cloth, and murmured in a low voice.
The young man didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows: "Speak loudly."
Tu Rong obeyed and said loudly: "Are you so free?"
I haven't seen him go out these days.
Is being a general so relaxing?
He also thought that being a general meant either training troops, directing battles or handling military affairs, but young people either beat him on the school field or played beads with him in the military tent every day. The key is that he is still very poor at playing beads, and he can always win three out of five games.
The young man sneered: "I am free? It's good that I am free. If I get busy and disappear, the head of Yama Palace will have a headache."
Because there are too many lonely ghosts going to report!
Young people are happy and at ease.
Even when others come to find trouble, he can deal with it calmly.
But...
The less you think about something, the easier it is for something to happen.
At this time, someone came outside the tent.
The voice was urgent: "Major General, there is a war!"
The young man who was picking pearls paused.
Lin Feng, who was sitting quietly practicing, opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
Could it be that Xiaocheng sent troops?
