"Boom!" There were bursts of thunder, and lightning flashed across the night sky, like giant dragons flashing by, illuminating the earth from time to time, reflecting people's frightened faces. Then it started raining heavily, making Cheng Feng a little dazed. , "Is this autumn?" Cheng Feng turned to Zhao Yun and asked,
"Yes! Is the autumn harvest coming in just a few days?" Zhao Yun was a little confused, what was his elder brother going to do?
"Then the thunder is too loud. Is this kind of thunder only in summer?" Cheng Feng asked doubtfully
"Haha, my lord, you don't know something. It's thundering this autumn and there are thieves everywhere!" Tian Yu came in from outside with a smile.
"Ah, is there any other way to say this?" Zhao Yun asked
"Yes, there is usually no such thunder and lightning in autumn! But as long as it occurs, there will definitely be a disaster in the coming year. Then there will be a large number of thieves, bandits and the like, so the whole place is full of thieves!" Tian Yu explained
"That's it!" Zhao Yun exclaimed
"Haha, it's interesting. It thunders in autumn and there are thieves everywhere. There are thieves everywhere. Haha." Cheng Fengshen muttered.
"What's up?" Zhao Yun was a little confused!
"Haha, the secret must not be leaked. By the way, Tiangang, have the villagers settled down?" Cheng Feng turned to Wu Tiangang and asked
"Okay, everything was settled three days ago, food has been distributed to everyone, and every household has been allocated a lot of land. I am selecting young adults to join the army!" Wu Tiangang said
"Really? How many people have been recruited?"
"There are a total of five hundred people. In a few days, we can still select some people."
"Haha, five hundred people will be enough. I can't drag away all the young men in Liuzhuang. Just these five hundred people. Later you can select fifty people who are good at riding and shooting. I will be of great use." Cheng Feng smiled and said
"Yes!" Wu Tiangang finished speaking and disappeared into the rain.
"The autumn rain is continuous. It seems that it will continue to rain for a few more days. Mr. Tian, has the place for the city expansion been selected?" Cheng Feng asked Tian Yu
"After more than ten days of exploration, we have chosen to expand roughly fifty miles to the south of the city. The other directions will remain unchanged as before. This will not only occupy a large amount of land, but also some trees. Even in the future, there will be space for immigrants, but It takes too much time, manpower and materials to build the city, and I’m afraid it won’t be completed in just a short while!” Tian Yu replied
"It doesn't matter! Now that we have a plan, there is no need to rush to build the city. Just make the current city wall seven feet thicker and one foot taller. Wait until next spring, after the farming work is finished, and then build the city wall." Cheng Feng said
"Yes, it's just the three adults in this city. I wonder what the lord will do with them?" Tian Yu asked
"Haha, Guorang, didn't you say that there are thieves everywhere!" Cheng Feng said coldly
"Uh, what a great idea!" Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed
"Zilong, you must be a little tired these days. After the autumn harvest, the Taiping Cult will probably come to ask for food. We must train the cavalry well before the autumn harvest. It doesn't need to be too many. More than two hundred people are enough." Now, let’s train the rest!" Cheng Feng said to Zhao Yun
"Brother, don't worry, even if I am one person and one horse, I don't care whether the thieves who came here come back or not!" Zhao Yun said proudly
"Haha, yes," Cheng Feng laughed.
"Two adults, this new governor is not a good person. Looking at his posture, he will not wait with me. It is better to wait for Zhang Tianshi's grain transport team to come. Let's him!" Cao Yang said as he said , while making a murderous gesture,
"Yes, Tian Yu and Zhang Liao are also willing to deal with us quickly, but they are afraid that we are the imperial officials and there are no one in the imperial court. If this Cheng Feng is really the prefect appointed by His Majesty, he will deal with us If you do it, we will die without a burial place!" Song Liang also said
"It's better to strike first. I think we should follow Master Cao's method and kill a few of them when the time comes. This Changshan City will be ours!" Yang Long agreed.
"This matter is of great importance. You must not say anything to the servants. We still need to discuss a sound strategy. We will go to find out the truth another day to see if this prefect is real. I wonder what the two adults think?" Song Liang suggested. road
"Humph, there's no need to do this! Since I'm going to attack him sooner or later, why are you so polite? We gave him a blow at the Prefect's Mansion that day. No matter if he is true or false, we just don't recognize him. I have revised a letter, please Master Zhang Jiao sent people to collect the grain in advance, and then they would destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. If the court really wants to hold the people responsible, the worst possible thing would be to blame the Taiping Religion. Once they die, we will be the ones who saved the whole city. Hero!" Cao Yang said
"Yes, yes, Master Cao is right! In this case, I will make preparations as soon as possible! Haha," Yang Long said
Watching the two of them leave, Cao Yang sneered, "Huh! You idiot! This post of prefect belongs to me! You will all die by then!"
Time passed like water. The thunder gradually disappeared, and the heavy rain turned into light rain. Cheng Feng looked at the night outside the window and estimated that it was about eleven o'clock at night. The ancients ate early and had nothing to do. They must have all gone to bed long ago! There is no electricity, no mobile phone, and there is no nightlife except for some exercise. It seems that I have to find something for them to do! Thinking of this, Cheng Feng sent someone to call Wu Tiangang.
"Wu Tiangang paid homage to the lord. I wonder what the lord ordered when he summoned me late at night?"
"Wu Tiangang obeys the order!"
"exist!"
"Quickly lead the selected elite soldiers, put on all their clothes, and go and kill all those three adults! Remember, kill them all," Cheng Feng ordered in an angry tone.
"Ah? Kill them all?" Wu Tiangang was shocked by this order and was stunned at that time.
"Huh? Didn't you hear? Repeat it for me?" Cheng Feng said coldly
"Yes, kill them all!" Wu Tiangang shuddered coldly and quickly replied,
"Yeah! Remember, after you kill them all, take your belongings with you. When you leave the city, go straight to Julu County. Go there to welcome General Zilong back. Go ahead."
"Yes!" Watching Wu Tiangang walk out, Cheng Feng sighed, "It's another sleepless night. Thanks to the people in the Han Dynasty who suffer from severe night blindness. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to fish in troubled waters. I just don't know where Zilong is. What's wrong? Sigh. It seems that strategizing and winning thousands of miles away is not that fun. It requires a lot of dedication. Come on, let General Zhang know that we can start!"
"Kill! Don't leave any one behind! Kill them all, brothers. Take away all the property you can. Fight quickly. Remember, kill them all." A series of shouts of killing woke up Yang Long, who was sleeping soundly. Before he could light the lamp, he was killed with a knife. Then, as several screams floated in the air, the Yang Long family went to another place to reunite. At the same time, the Song Liang and Cao Yang families were also killed. Wu Tiangang gathered his men. , quickly pretended to attack the prefect's mansion, then left the city and headed straight towards Julu, while Zhang Liao led his troops to pretend to pursue him for a while, which only made Cheng Feng want to laugh. This Wu Tiangang is not bad, I actually forgot about this, "This The bandits are so abominable, they dare to openly attack the prefect's mansion!" Cheng Feng said angrily
"Master Tian, quickly go and lead the troops to search the whole process to see if there is any damage," Cheng Feng said quickly.
"Yes, lord!" Tian Yu quickly led his troops to inspect!
"I'm really a genius. Oh, ask me to make a movie tonight. I'm also a great director!" Cheng Feng thought with a smile.
"Hurry up, we're still dozens of miles away. We'll hurry up while it's dark. We'll have a good rest when we get to the city!" Zhao Yun heard shouts from ahead, as well as the sound of horse hooves and shouts. Sound, knowing that the person you are waiting for is coming.
"Get ready to attack. Remember, kill everyone without leaving any one behind. Be careful not to hurt the horses," Zhao Yun ordered.
"yes!"
"Kill!" Zhao Yun shouted violently, taking the lead and killing him. At the same time, lightning suddenly struck in the sky, the thunder roared loudly, and a bolt of lightning flashed across. The leader of the Taiping transport team felt a sudden sensation in his chest before he could react. There was a pain, and then I felt like I was flying up, and then I hit a tree hard. Then I spit out a mouthful of blood, and I wanted to open my mouth to shout an enemy attack, but my heart twitched and I died. Zhao Yun's horse was fast and his gun was fast, accompanied by streaks of lightning. It was really a bit of cold light that arrived first, and the gun shot out like a dragon. Before the opponent could react, he killed more than a dozen people in a row. The team said nothing. You would have thought that even in Julu County, in the hinterland of the Taiping Religion, someone would dare to rob them. In addition, after traveling all night, I was already exhausted. When I met Zhao Yun, the God of Killing, and brought a group of angry men who were driven away from their homes by the Taiping Cult, and had the advantage of waiting for work, this killing was a direct result. The unilateral massacre of a transport team of more than 200 people could not help but feel cold when they reacted. There are less than fifty people left. You must know that most people at this time have night blindness. The leader and these horses are the only ones who can travel at night. Fortunately, there was thunder and lightning tonight, which gave Zhao Yun a lot of help. With this light, Zhao Yun and the others could kill each other so accurately.
"Ah, run quickly," someone shouted, and the rest of the people fled in all directions. At this time, the leader didn't care anymore, survival was the most important thing!
"Kill, leave no one behind!" Zhao Yun ordered, this group of soldiers were carefully selected. He could see things clearly at night, so it was easy to chase them down. They were all killed before they had gone far.
"You guys, each with ten people, throw the body into the pit over there. Remember to bury it! The others follow me and escort the carriage back to Changshan. Take care of the wounded on the way," Zhao Yundao said
"Yes!" Everyone's faces were full of excitement and joy, and they finally let out a bad breath. Many people turned pale afterwards and vomited from time to time. The veterans laughed loudly.
Everyone was busy on their way, and before they knew it, the sky had turned white. At this time, everyone was a little sleepy. Suddenly, "Drive, drive, drive," there was a sound of horse hoofs in front of them, and Zhao Yun immediately reminded him, "Be careful!" and shouted at the same time. Immediately come forward to see who is coming,
"General Zhao, haha, I finally found you. I was afraid I couldn't find you." Wu Tiangang shouted from a distance
"Okay, keep going," Zhao Yun said to the team first, and then shouted to Wu Tiangang, "Hurry up and clear the road ahead, find a place, and cook some food!"
"Yes!" Wu Tiangang responded, turned the horse's head and returned quickly.
"Go at full speed, there is someone in front to meet us." Zhao Yun swept away his sleepiness and said excitedly
"Yes, General! Everyone, hurry up," everyone pushed hard, the horse-drawn men pushed, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the speed became faster and faster. Go straight to Changshan!
"Master Tian, please post notices throughout the whole process, saying that bandits sneaked into the city last night and attacked your mansion. Three adults and their families were killed. Two generals, Zhang and Zhao, have been sent to suppress the bandits. Please tell the people in the city not to panic!" Cheng Feng ordered
"Yes, my lord!"
"Wen Yuan, take three thousand elite soldiers and follow me to meet Zilong and the others!"
"Yes! Lord"
"Haha, let's go. Let's see what we can gain this time?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!" There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. Cheng Feng knew that Zhao Yun was back, but he didn't know what he would bring this time. Now, Changshan City is in need of reconstruction. The more materials, the better. !
"Brother," Zhao Yun shouted from a distance, unable to contain his excitement. This was the first time he led troops alone and successfully completed the mission. The most important thing was that there were no casualties on his side. There is no separation between life and death. This is the most worthy of celebration!
"Haha, Zilong, thank you for your hard work. I wonder how the harvest will be?" Cheng Feng said happily.
"I've been busy on my way, and I didn't even look at what's there. Anyway, there's a lot of food, which adds up to ninety carts. As for the specific contents, we'll have to wait until we get back to check!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Good brother!" Cheng Feng patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder. He turned around and ordered, "Hurry up and pull the car into the city, count the supplies, and store them! Wen Yuan is on guard in case the Taiping Sect comes to retaliate. Master Tian and Master Han quickly go and count the supplies. After sorting them out, we will see you at the Prefect's Mansion."
"Yes!" Everyone went happily!
For three days in a row, Cheng Feng wandered around the city, fearing that Zhang Jiao's people would come to kill him. However, after waiting for three days, nothing happened. He couldn't help but sigh, could Zhang Jiao not know that something had been robbed? Why can't you see that there are so many things? Forget it, never mind, we need to strengthen our vigilance, speed up production, and let the people eat more vegetables, pork liver, fish, etc. We need to cure the night blindness, otherwise how can we carry out night raids.
"Sir, all the adults are waiting for you in the mansion," Wu Tiangang reported.
"Well! Let's go back and see what we have in Changshan."
"Meet the lord" "Big Brother" and the others saw Cheng Feng coming and quickly saluted.
"Okay, okay. There are no outsiders, so don't be too polite. Let's talk about your situation quickly," Cheng Feng said
Several people looked at each other with joy in their eyes. "Haha, my lord, you can't believe that we in Changshan have a population of more than 80,000, including more than 50,000 young adults and about 30,000 old, young, women and children." Han Yong laughed.
"Oh, not bad, it's a lot more than I thought!"
"It's just that some of them are scattered outside the city. The population in the city is more than 50,000," Zhang Liao added
"Well, once the outer wall is built, we can circle the city!" Tian Yu smiled slightly and reminded Zhang Liao not to worry too much.
"Yes, population is the key. Only people can have everything. I think there will be a large number of people coming to our place in the future." He said in a letter vowing that he would continue to report.
"According to statistics, there are fifteen granaries, plus one hundred and ten carts of fodder, five thousand six hundred horses, less soldiers and more than seven hundred pairs of armor, three thousand sets of farm tools, and fifty thousand kilograms of fine iron! There are about three million gold and silver, and there are more than a hundred jade treasures, and..." Speaking of this, Han Yong was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say.
"What else can you tell me?" Zhao Yun urged.
"There are also thirty carts of hay that I don't recognize, but they look very carefully stored and don't look like ordinary hay."
"Huh?" Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, then said, "We'll go take a look later. I think this may be the most valuable thing. If there's anything else, let's continue talking."
"Yes! Thirty carts of special fodder, 18,000 acres of fertile land, 8,500 elite soldiers, and four officials!"
"Not bad, I think we should be the richest people in the neighborhood now," Cheng Feng laughed.
"The richest man?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they figured it out and started laughing.
"Although supplies are quite abundant now, the more the better. In this way, you all act according to the plan. Zilongwen expeditionary force and Han Yongtian have just built the city. Master Tian will temporarily handle everything in Changshan and harvest the autumn first!" Cheng Feng ordered
"yes!"
"Also, we need to send out more scouts and pay close attention to Zhang Jiao's movements to prevent unexpected events. In addition, we need to move more troops and horses. Zilong and Wenyuan will take them out alternately to do some side work for everyone!"
"Side job?" Zhang Liao was stunned.
"Haha, my eldest brother is so talented. He can speak so elegantly about robbery!" Zhao Yun laughed.
"Haha!" Zhao Yun's words caused a burst of laughter.
"Well, let's start after the autumn harvest! In addition, this bandit killed three of our officials in Changshan. It is really abominable. The two generals have to avenge several adults!" Cheng Feng changed the topic and said bitterly. He said, leaving everyone stunned for a moment, "Why don't we seek revenge from you? Alas, I feel really sorry for Zhang Jiao. Being targeted by the prefect, the good days are over!"
"Okay, let's go take a look at that special forage!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
Not long after arriving at the north of the city, Cheng Feng saw this special fodder. At a glance, it was indeed not fodder for horses. It exuded a strong medicinal smell. It was obviously herbal medicine! Cheng Feng was so happy that he almost hugged Zhao Yun and kissed him twice! "Quick. Quick! Don't move around. This is a herbal medicine. Hurry up and invite all the doctors in the city and tell them to separate them. Keep it alive!" Cheng Feng said quickly
"This! Lord. What is the use of so many herbs?" Han Yong was puzzled.
"Haha, the secret must not be leaked. Just pick it out and keep it!" Suddenly Cheng Feng recognized mugwort, which is a good thing to prevent the plague. Thinking of this, Cheng Feng suddenly felt a little bit in his heart, "That's right. , plague, it was the outbreak of two major plagues that made Zhang Jiao rebel! Counting the time, it will be winter this year, and I have to prepare early." Thinking of this, Cheng Feng said to Tian Yu, "Tian Sir, you must let the people pay more attention to this kind of grass, and whenever they see this kind of grass, they must pick it and preserve it."
"Yes! Lord. I just don't know what the use of this grass is?" Tian Yu was a little confused.
"Haha, this herb is called mugwort, and it is a perfect way to prevent the plague!" Before Cheng Feng could finish his words, he heard an exclamation,
"Ah! Can this prevent the plague?"
"Yes. And it can also be treated!" Cheng Feng said with certainty.
"Great, haha!" Now a group of people looked at these thirty carts of herbs, and their eyes were brighter than when they saw the peerless treasures! Needless to say, everyone is told to go down and collect more mugwort!
Cheng Feng checked the supplies, chatted with a few people, and then sent them out. When only Zhao Yun was left in the room, Cheng Feng slowly took out two books, which made Zhao Yun's eyes light up. .
"Book of war?" Zhao Yun asked with hope.
"Haha! Take it and study it with Wen Yuan and Tian Yu first. These two are both rare talents!" Cheng Feng said to Zhao Yun with a smile.
"Thank you, brother. Haha," Zhao Yun almost jumped up with joy, but suddenly he thought something wrong, "Didn't we agree to learn together?"
"Ahem," Cheng Feng was embarrassed for a while, "That's it. After all, we have lost three officials. I am going to Luoyang to apologize to His Majesty in person. You guys should learn first and train with these people from the Taiping Sect. Practice, wait until I come back, I will learn again, this is based on the Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War, I added thirty-six strategies! Take a good look! I'll go and get busy first." As he said that, Cheng Feng Feeling that their faces were getting hot, they ran out quickly, leaving Zhao Yun watching mesmerized!
