This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 47
City Lord?

The late-night visit made Cao Su smell something unusual.

After Wei Tao walked in, Zhao Xi at the door was still excited.

This is the Lord of Pingcheng, the most powerful person in Pingcheng!
Mastering the power of life and death in military and political affairs, one sentence can make people rise to prosperity, and one sentence can also make people irreversible.

"Keep it well, no one will come near without my order."

Although Cao Su didn't know what Wei Tao meant.

But knowing that Wei Tao came directly across layers to find him, there must be something important.

So he directly ordered Zhao Xi to guard the camp gate.

Seeing Cao Su's alertness, Wei Tao was quite sure.

Zhao Xi responded loudly, and went to stand guard with high morale.

"This young man is good, very energetic."

Wei Tao wore a black cloak, walked into the military tent, and sat down in the central seat very familiarly.

He came alone, and his personal guards also stayed outside the military tent and were not allowed to enter.

Cao Su sat under him and poured him a cup of tea.

Wei Tao carefully looked at Cao Su.

Cao Su is handsome, tall and strong.

Although he hadn't broken through the strength realm yet, his Qi and blood were surging, and his aura was very strong. It could be seen that the foundation had been laid very firmly.

After Wei Tao entered the account, Cao Su did not take the initiative to speak.

Just looking at his appearance gives people a very stable and reliable feeling.

Wei Tao laughed.

"Cao Su, why don't you ask me why I came here late at night?"

Wei Tao used a rhetorical method to discuss topics.

Cao Su responded immediately: "The city lord must have something important to do when he comes, and the subordinates are willing to listen to the orders of the city lord."

Seeing Cao Su's knowledge and interest, Wei Tao felt more and more satisfied.

I also firmly believe that Cao Su is the best candidate to complete the task.

He paused, and when he came up, he threw out a big news.

"Do you know that we are running out of food in Pingcheng?"

Running out of food?
Cao Su was taken aback. Didn't he say that Pingcheng has enough supplies to satisfy the government army's fierce battle for more than half a year?
"But our daily rations haven't changed much?"

Cao Su raised his doubts.

Wei Tao said: "The army's rations are sufficient, but the people's homes are running out of rations."

Cao Su was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because before the war started, someone bought grain from Pingcheng."

"After the war started, food was expensive and the price was soaring all the way. Now the food stores of the big households in the city are about to run out. In a few days, it will be difficult for the common people to buy food."

"The food should have been purchased by the common people and stored in their homes."

"You mean the people with money, and the people without money, who are still waiting for the city lord's mansion to help them."

Wei Tao's meaning is very clear, some people in the city are about to face the risk of food shortage.

This is a big hidden danger in Pingcheng.

Wei Tao asked again: "Let me ask you, what should you do if you have no food?"

Cao Su was silent, if he had nothing to eat.

I will definitely rely on this pair of iron fists and good strength.

Find a way to become a contract worker, and then short-term workers, long-term workers, middle peasants, and landlords.
"That's right, you will definitely fight and grab."

Wei Tao saw the answer in Cao Su's eyes.

I.
Cao Su fell silent.

Wei Tao said again: "Where to fight, where to grab?"

Cao Su replied: "Fight where there is money, and grab where there is food."

"That's right, so there will definitely be people who will take the risk, and in severe cases, it may even spark a civil uprising."

"Once the civil uprising, the current advantages will be wiped out instantly, and Pingcheng will be destroyed by rebels immediately. Your family and your friends will all be in danger. Can you bear it?"

Wei Tao was persuasive and persuasive.

Cao Su also expressed his indignation appropriately: "I can't bear it."

"Yes, so we have to solve this hidden danger in advance."

"How to deal with it?"

The more Cao Su listened, the more confused he became.

Wei Tao said: "It's very simple, either use food to quell public grievances, or defeat the Wanping Sect to solve the siege."

Is it easy?

The first has no clue, the second has little hope.

Wei Tao looked into Cao Su's eyes and said slowly: "Of course, if there is really no other way, there is a third way—to cut the food."

Cut food?

Whoever cuts off the food, of course, whoever has the food cuts off the food.

Who has food?
Wanping's army has food.

Cao Su looked at Wei Tao, Wei Tao was smiling, his appearance was big and thick, but his eyes were like a pool of water, unfathomable.

"Cutting off the food taught by Wanping."

"But the Wanping Sect came from the south, and the food roads are also in the south. If you want to intercept their food, you have to bypass the Wanping camp, raise troops at night, start at midnight at three o'clock, cook at four o'clock, and set off at five o'clock."

It turned out that he wanted him to intercept the grain path taught by Wanping.

Cao Su instinctively wanted to refuse, this task was too dangerous.

What gave Wei Tao the courage to divide his forces?

Is it the new wave of reinforcements?

"Cao Su, this matter can only be done by you."

"Although you don't have many advantages other than being proficient in bow and horse, quick-witted and intelligent, and adaptable."

"But the entire government army, I have taken a fancy to you at a glance."

"And this matter needs to be done in secret."

"No one else knows except you and me."

Wei Tao gave an affirmative look.

Cao Su felt that he still had some threatening meaning.

Talk late at night and deploy military orders.

If Cao Su doesn't accept it, then he will find another person, but how can the second person be called "only you and I know"?

So after a little hesitation, Cao Su nodded helplessly.

"This subordinate is willing to listen to the orders of the city lord."

Wei Tao laughed and patted Cao Su.

"Okay, I sure didn't misread you!"

He took out a map from his pocket.

This is a map of the mountains and rivers near Pingcheng.

The entire territory of Pingcheng is dominated by plains, and to the south, rivers and hills begin to increase, and the terrain becomes uneven.

From Pingcheng to the south, there are two other cities that originally belonged to Jiangning Mansion.

After that, it is Tongzhou Prefecture.

"The news came from the meticulous work, and the day after tomorrow will be the day when the Wanping sect will escort the food and grass."

"From Wucheng to the north, the grain team took the official road, crossed the Baishui River, passed through several low mountains, and arrived at the Wanping Camp in two days."

"There is a small town on the north side of the Baishui River, which was also the former post of the government army. The Wanping Army uses this small town as a transit and is guarded by heavy troops. Don't go there rashly."

"You can choose an appropriate time to attack here."

"After intercepting food, take away what can be taken away, and burn what can't be taken away"

"I have arranged a team here to meet you."

Wei Tao drew circles on the map, the lines were clear.

After Cao Su heard this, he understood that the arrangement was very thoughtful, but the uncomfortable feeling in his heart still did not dissipate.

He nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

There was a rumor in the government army.

Rumors spread all the way to the tents of the Wanping Army outside the city.

"What, there are already [-] government troops in Pingcheng?"

"Isn't this too good at blowing?"

After hearing this, the generals of the Wanping Army were very disdainful.

"To break the sky is only 6000 people!"

Originally, the Wanping Army was known as a [-] army, and the [-] government army that besieged Pingcheng was more than enough.

Surrounding it ten times is also one of the standard equipment for siege warfare.

Unexpectedly, after more than a month of fighting, the Pingcheng government army actually fought more and more.

Crazy recruiting in the city, and reinforcements arriving outside the city.

As soon as the slogan of the [-] government troops was shouted, the morale of the entire Wanping army dropped a lot.

"Do we have reinforcements?"

Ordinary Sergeant Wan Ping thought to himself.

Ten thousand government troops couldn't get in, and now there are [-] more.

How is this played?
Pingcheng inner city.

The generals of the "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" walked in swaggeringly.

Yu Mu and He Peng took the lead.

When the Inner City Army got the order, they naturally did not dare to stop it.

These generals of the "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" walked into the restaurants in the inner city.

Then he started to let go of drinking and eating meat.

"Serve the wine, serve the wine!"

The blushing Yu Mu likes to drink the most, and he bumps into Zhang Yin with a big bowl of "puff".

The owner of the restaurant didn't dare to say much when he saw it, and he hurriedly served wine and meat when he heard people shouting.

I feel a little scared in my heart.

I just hope that these bloody big-headed soldiers will leave quickly after eating.

After the "Lingzhou Army" was full of wine and food.

He was ready to leave the restaurant.

The shopkeeper hiding behind the counter couldn't sit still, the other party didn't seem to want to pay the bill?
After a while of thought building, he gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Everyone, thanks to your care, the total is 13 taels and 7 yuan."

The "Lingzhou Mansion Army" had already stepped through the gate, and it turned out that someone dared to ask them for money.

The grumpy He Peng smiled instantly.

"Are you asking me for money?"

He Peng was tall and mighty, with a hunchback and a hunchback, and he became drunk when he drank too much.

There was a fierce light in Gu Pan's eyes.

"joke!"

Yu Mu also laughed wildly.

"Without our coming to the rescue, your families have already been destroyed, and you actually ask me for money?"

They stared at the shivering middle-aged shopkeeper in the cold wind with fierce eyes like beasts.

The middle-aged shopkeeper was afraid and took two steps back.

"This"

"This is the property of the Xu family in the inner city."

He reminded in a low voice, wanting to cry without tears.

As soon as the words fell, the guard who couldn't bear it any longer kicked him to the ground.

The guys in the hotel rushed out to prepare their arguments, but they were too frightened to see the shopkeeper being knocked down all of a sudden.

The people in the inner city haven't seen blood for too long, and this situation is enough to scare them all.

Several guards surrounded the shopkeeper and beat him for a while.

He was beaten until he vomited blood and passed out.

And then walk away.

Residents in the surrounding inner city saw it, but dared not speak out.

A few guys ran out crying and shouting. The last one didn't pay attention to the steps, and accidentally tripped over the ground and smashed his head.

"The shopkeeper's? The shopkeeper's!"

The next day late at night.

The truce between the two armies was cloudless.

A group of centurions sneaked out from Beicheng.

Contrary to the expectations of the leading centurion, the defense of the Wanping North Camp was very lax, and they bypassed the barracks without much effort.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, he quickened his pace.

Soon it disappeared into the thick night.

the strange thing is.

An hour later.

Another centurion appeared at the north gate.

　Wishing everyone a happy new year, I wish you all a happy new year, good health, happy family, and good luck in everything!
