retaliate

Chapter 1382 Gu said yes, he is

Reinforcements come.

Not only the people in Yuezhou, Daozhou, Jianzhou and other places stopped immediately after hearing the news.

"It is said that 10 horses have come!"

"Where did it say it was 20!"

Among a group of women shopping for vegetables, a little fat man said convincingly: "I saw it with my own eyes, less than 20 yuan."

"Ah! Then don't worry." A woman leaned on her chest, "What are you doing here, sir?"

"Yes! You are a big man, why do you come to buy vegetables? And why don't you bring a basket when you buy vegetables?"

A group of women surrounded the little fat man.

"I sell medicine." The little fat man said calmly.

"What medicine?"

"Huichundan, he is good, and you are also good."

"cut!"

The women dispersed.

The little fat man sighed, "I don't know treasure!"

He patted his ass and left.

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!"

He didn't go far, when someone chased after him, the little fat man turned around, but it was a woman just now.

"What's the matter?"

The woman looked polite, "I have a relative. How much is your Rejuvenation Pill...?"

……

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

And popular opinion and public opinion are another form of food.

"Fifty thousand, it's still a bit meaningless."

During the discussion, Jiang Cunzhong suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Guanzhong is too big, and those people have ambiguous positions, so a lot of people are needed to suppress it. Naturally, there will be fewer people to attack Shi Ni."

Pei Jian said, "After going south, once you capture a certain place, you have to leave troops to guard it...Your Highness, I think that Tao County should be expanded as soon as possible."

"It's already expanding." Han Ji said, "Tao County is also complaining."

"What trouble can they have?" Someone asked dissatisfied.

"The old land of Northern Liao has a vast territory, and it also needs a lot of people to suppress it." Han Ji said: "This time they can mobilize 5 people, as His Highness has said, it is rare!"

Everyone looked at King Qin.

"It's not easy."

The king of Qin settled the dispute with one sentence.

"What about the follow-up?" Someone asked.

This is an urgent matter.

"This is a headache." Even Han Ji felt helpless.

"Have you lost your mind?"

Seeing that the courtiers were a little gloomy, Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal."

"Your Highness, it's not small!" Jiang Cunzhong smiled wryly, "I'm worried that Shi Ni knows that our army doesn't have many troops to mobilize, so he pretends to be retreating, and when our army stays behind to suppress them, it will become weaker and weaker." When he charged up for a blow..."

"Advance through retreat," said the old thief.

He Lianrong shook his head, "No, it's fist shrinking. Think about it later, if someone wants to punch out, shouldn't you retract your fist first?"

……

Qinghe.

Jiedushi Fuzhong.

Civil and military officials were disputing about the impending war.

Some people say that every inch of land must be fought for, and they will continue to wear down their troops by taking advantage of the weakness of the northern army coming from afar and not having easy supplies.

Some people say that when you concentrate your forces in several big cities, you can avoid being defeated by the northern army...

"enough!"

Shi Zhongtang sat at the head, he had gained a lot of weight recently, and he looked quite majestic.

The officials made a fuss for a while, and then it stopped.

People in southern Xinjiang are fluttering recently!

Even the courtiers were a little slack, if it was the past, who would dare to continue arguing after Shi Zhongtang opened his mouth?

He Zun felt a little uneasy, feeling that the current situation was too complicated and he was walking on thin ice.

"It is difficult for the northern border army to supply, but after taking Guanzhong, there is basically no shortage of food and grass."

When Shi Zhongtang thought of this, his eyes became more angry.

When he led the army out of the pass, he was full of confidence, thinking that even if he was defeated, he could return to Jiagu Pass and stick to it.

Unexpectedly, King Wei's sudden blow made him flee to the south in embarrassment, and many of the food and grass he searched in Guanzhong became the spoils of the northern army.

"But they have a limited number of people."

Shi Zhongtang said in a deep voice: "If you want to hit someone, you have to be beaten first. This is what my mother taught me back then, and this king takes it very seriously."

What's the point of this?
Everyone is puzzled.

"Take it back first." Shi Zhongtang said: "Place old and weak defenses in front, let the commander of the northern border army drive straight in..."

"Your Majesty!" An old minister came out, "No!"

Everyone opened their mouths one after another, and after some persuasion, Shi Zhongtang said coldly: "After the Northern Xinjiang Army Commander has driven straight in, how many soldiers and horses are needed to guard and suppress this road?"

what!
Someone let out a light sigh, and then happily said: "Our army is retreating steadily, accumulating strength and waiting for the constantly weakened Northern Xinjiang army. When the Northern Xinjiang army is exhausted, our army strikes blatantly..."

Everyone thought about it carefully, and the eyes gradually changed.

"Your Majesty, you are wise!" the veteran saluted and said joyfully.

Here are all Shi Zhongtang's confidantes, and for a moment, they were beaming.

They will leave later.

He Zun stayed behind and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move is very clever, even if the King of Qin knew about it, he still had to do it."

The highest state of using soldiers is that the opponent knows your plan and knows that it is poisonous, but they have to follow your plan.

Shi Zhongtang was not happy, "You can't give King Qin too much time, otherwise once he stabilizes the pass, we will become a real corner. Lao He, with a corner to compete against the world, the winner has Several people?"

What the two of them didn't say was that the King of Qin had great righteousness in his hands, and the longer the time dragged on, the better and better the people's attitude towards the King of Qin would be.

It has never been an empty saying that there is more help when there is a right, but little help when there is no justice.

When He Zun went out, he met an official who hurried to look for Shi Zhongtang.

"What's the matter?" He Zun asked.

He is the most capable staff member around Shi Zhongtang. With Wei Ming being left out in the cold, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one confidant, so the officials did not hide it, "Mr. He, the spies found that many people were secretly discussing... "

"What is the secret discussion?" He Zun asked.

"Some people want to bet on both ends, and some people are frightened by the ruthlessness of the King of Qin not keeping prisoners, and want to surrender early..."

He Zun waved his hand, thinking with his hands behind his back.

No matter who it is, such things are indispensable.

Even though King Qin has become more and more powerful and prestige these years, there are still many people in northern Xinjiang who oppose him.Not to mention Shi Zhongtang who had just been defeated.

But at this moment, the northern border army is watching, and they may go south at any time. Once these people's positions and remarks are fermented...

It's all right if the war goes well, the so-called one good and one hundred good.If it doesn't go well, these remarks will be rampant, and there will be more and more doubts about Shi Zhongtang, and they will become more and more sharp.

"Mr. He." The official said, "How about dealing with how many?"

He Zun pondered for a long time, saying, "If you take action to punish them at this time, I'm afraid those people will die like rabbits."

The officials suddenly stood with their hands tied.

He Zun was about to turn his head when Shi Zhongtang's voice came from behind him.

cold.

"Kill a batch!"

……

Kill a batch?
He Zun turned around and saluted, "Your Majesty, it will cause controversy."

When the army is defeated, killing people will cause more opposition!
"Then keep killing!"

……

Yuezhou.

State Hall.

Qin Wang looked at the group of officials and said indifferently: "There are not enough people, this is a problem. You are right, but you have forgotten one thing."

The ministers lowered their eyes.

"Who owns this world?" King Qin asked.

"His Highness!" said Wang Laoer, "I will kill anyone who dares to compete with His Highness!"

This stupid!

Other people's words seemed extraordinarily embarrassing and deliberate, but what Wang Laoer said was so fresh and natural, no faults could be found.

"Why do you want to look far away?" King Qin looked at the ministers.

Everyone was stunned.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king!"

King Qin stood up.

The ministers stood with hands tied.

"Recruit warriors everywhere in Guanzhong!"

……

"Mr. Cao, someone has returned from Shu."

Zhang Xu happily entered the duty room.

"The false emperor is gone." Cao Ying put down the brush in her hand and said, "This is just the beginning."

Recently, people have been coming back from the Shu region one after another. Jin Yiwei stepped in to inquire. Those people said that after learning that King Qin was defeated, the hearts of the fleeing crowd were fluctuating.

"The road to Shu is difficult. Otherwise, if I give the old man 2 horses, I can capture the false emperor and his son and present them to His Highness." Zhang Xu felt a little regretful.

"Don't worry." Cao Ying said: "In my opinion, His Highness is now playing cat and mouse, making the false emperor and his son uneasy... This is also a first-class punishment!"

"A batch of reinforcements have arrived." Zhang Xu said, "Probably they will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow or the day after."

"Just right, people need to suppress everywhere." Cao Ying has been worrying about this recently, "The more those rich and powerful come back, the more trouble we will have. The more people, the better!"

At the beginning, Chang'an had an army of more than [-], which was the only way for the emperor to rest in peace.Now there are only more than [-] people, and Cao Ying dreams of someone making trouble in her dreams.

"But His Highness needs more troops to go south." Zhang Xu said, "I think, why don't we go back?"

"But Guanzhong is fundamental!" Cao Ying said.

The two smiled wryly at each other.

"Mr. Cao."

An official came in, "There is an envoy from His Highness."

The envoy came in, "Your Highness orders, recruit troops everywhere in Guanzhong!"

Cao Ying was startled, "It's difficult!"

……

What is the most in Guanzhong?
Landlord!

Hundreds of years of Tang Dynasty have accumulated a large number of large and small landlords in Guanzhong.

From aristocratic families to local tyrants, the wind of annexing land is getting bigger and bigger.So much so that the government military system was useless, and Guanzhong also had a wave of refugees for the first time after many years.

Several petty officials entered Deng Village, and the village official, Yao Daxiao, came out to greet him with a few strong men.

"Everyone, this is..."

"Yao Da, call people!" the leader of the officials said calmly.

"Good good!"

Later, hundreds of villagers gathered.

A small official coughed dryly, "Your Highness ordered that if athletes from anywhere in Guanzhong are willing to join the army, they can apply at any military camp or government office. Don't worry about money and food, there are rules."

join the army?

There was a light in the eyes of those people, Yao Da smiled and said: "But they are all slaves!"

"Let's come as usual, say as usual, what to do, you can figure it out!"

A few small officials had to go to various places to publicize, so they rejected Yao Da's suggestion to buy a drink, but they still took a bunch of copper coins.

After leaving the village, several petty officials smiled wryly.

"It's true that His Highness wanted to recruit warriors from Guanzhong, but he didn't think about it. Most of Guanzhong is the land of those nobles. Those who farm the land are either nobles' slaves or nobles' tenants. If the nobles don't ask, who would dare to apply?"

"That's right, King Qin thinks more simply."

"He just took over Guanzhong, so he doesn't know the severity."

"It's just that it's inevitable that I'll be ashamed this time."

……

At the entrance of the village, Yao Da turned around and looked at the villagers with a sneer, "You are all Zhang's slaves, what are you thinking? Go back!"

The villagers staggered back.

Several young people looked back from time to time, and the longing in their eyes gradually dimmed as the little officials went away.

Deng She, an old man in the village, sighed: "Don't even think about it, let's! Our ancestors have been slaves for generations, and life and death are involuntary!"

One of the young men named Dun Duo said unwillingly: "But didn't Mrs. Zhang run away?"

"I heard that he's coming back." Deng She said, "Even if the King of Qin ascended the throne, this day is still the day of the nobles. Do you understand? Let's farm the land honestly, honestly... listen to the master's words .”

"Hey!"

A pair of old or young eyes gradually became numb.

Yao Da watched the villagers go back, and said with a smile: "The military system of the government has been corrupted these years. The last time His Majesty recruited troops, he greeted the big clans. Without their nodding, where did His Majesty get the army?"

Several subordinates were laughing at King Qin's incomprehension.

Yao Da turned his head, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said:
"After this incident, King Qin should know about it. The sky in this pass is still ours! His sky is the one above the imperial palace!"

……

"Your Highness, there are very few warriors in Guanzhong who have applied for it!"

The state government was discussing matters, and Jiang He'er sent a document, "There are only five thousand people, and many of them are old and weak."

"Hey!" Someone sighed, "Dingkou in Guanzhong! Many of them are from those big clans. Your Highness, why don't you recruit people from northern Xinjiang!"

Those who knew it were smiling wryly.

Last time King Qin said to recruit troops from Guanzhong, they persuaded them politely, but King Qin insisted on going his own way.It's all right now, there are more than five thousand people, many of them are old and weak, this reaction can be called a slap in the face!
The master humiliated the minister to death, and Han Ji said: "The minister is willing to preside over this matter."

In this way, if the matter is not handled well, it will be Han Ji's fault, and it will not damage King Qin's prestige.

Han's rebellion was indeed fierce enough!
The officials looked at King Qin, waiting for his decision.

King Qin asked:

"Those Dingkou are mostly slaves?"

Han Ji said: "Yes, even tenant farmers have been attached to the master's family for many years and dare not betray."

King Qin rapped on the case table with his fingers.

Contemptuous eyes.

"But how did I hear that those slaves are all ownerless?"

what?
Ownerless?
Didn't Jin Yiwei just say the day before yesterday that many of the powerful and powerful who fled with the false emperor are quietly returning?

"Your Highness, those people will come back." A civil servant smiled wryly.

King Qin looked at the civil servant with sharp eyes.

"Gu said yes, he is!"
