"That's not enough!"

When he received the news, Qi Jinzhi was playing chess with Mr. Ji, his slender fingers were playing with a few glossy chess pieces, he didn't raise his head, and said casually. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a crisp sound, and a sunspot fell on the chessboard, and Mr. Ji also laughed and said: "Yes, Xiao Liang Wang received the news but still did not move, his forward is still a mile away from the city, and he has no intention of attacking at all." ”

King Xiaoliang arranged it like this, which was clearly a fear of the Qi family's firearms.

As far as the world knows, the farthest range of Qi family's firearms is only a little more than half a mile, and no matter how far the target is, it may be able to reach it, but the power will definitely be greatly reduced.

King Xiaoliang deliberately put his soldiers and horses a mile away, precisely out of this consideration.

What Qi Jinzhi has to do now is to deliberately show weakness, and then lead King Xiaoliang into the palace step by step.

Most of the rumors in Wumeng City last night were released by Mr. Ji, who deeply understood Qi Jin's thoughts, and the rest were those wealthy families who took the opportunity to muddy the waters.

Qi Jinzhi's 'not enough', on the one hand, means that King Xiaoliang has not taken the bait, and on the other hand, it also refers to the 'action' of those wealthy families is not big enough.

The imperial court appointed him as the prefect of Wumeng, then this place would become the territory of someone in his Qi.

As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? How can the Qi family's territory allow the 'land snake' to run rampant?

Qi Jinzhi has been in the southwest for several years and knows a lot about those wealthy families.

These people, relying on the force in their hands and the intertwined forces, wantonly expanded.

It is a trivial matter to compete with the people for profit, and these people simply called the court for a board.

Why is Umon in turmoil?

Is it really the scourge of the Tartars?

Wrong, wrong, wrong, it is clear that someone is raising bandits to respect themselves.

Thinking about the old Liang King back then, he was just a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he was beaten by the Qi army and fled in all directions, and in desperation, he fled into the 100,000 mountains.

They are nomads in the north, and after entering the Central Plains, they are pampered, how can such people survive in the almost primitive jungle?

Slowly, it was the pursuit of the Qi army, and even the miasma of poisonous insects in the mountains was enough for those Tartars to bear.

But they all survived, and the more they lived, the more energetic they became.

Why?

Qi Jinzhi hooked the corners of his lips, naturally someone secretly funded them, otherwise, hum, don't look at the imperial court has never officially sent troops to clean up, but only the troops in the Shuixi battalion, if you really make up your mind to 'suppress bandits', Liang Wei would have been wiped out decades ago.

Where will it still be bouncing to this day?

You ask why Qi Jinzhi knows this?

It's too simple, because Qi Jinzhi's ancestor, Qi Ziru Qi Wu Xianggong, was one of the 'certain people' who originally funded the old Liang king.

It's not that Qi Ziru has a different heart, or has any irreversible friendship with the old Liang King, he just wants to protect himself by doing this, and he doesn't want to become cannon fodder for all the birds.

Therefore, every two years in the southwest, the news of 'Liang rebellion' will break out, and Qi Ziru and his two sons also keep suppressing bandits in the southwest. Far away from the court, and with military power in his hands, the Qi family was able to survive the bloody last years of Gaozu.

While desperately developing, while having the intention to release water, decades have passed, and the bandits in the southwest are becoming more and more suppressed.

Especially after the old Liang King went and Xiao Liang Wang ascended the throne, the strong and cunning Xiao Liang Wang was connected in all directions, and Liang Rei's strength developed rapidly.

At the same time, the internal fighting of the Qi family also entered a white heat, and the southwest camp was openly divided into two parts, and there was constant friction between them.

The wealthy families in the southwest have chosen camps, some secretly hooked up with King Xiaoliang, and some moved closer to the imperial court.

…… Under the interaction of several forces, the situation in the southwest has taken on the current state of 'out of control'.

Before Qi Jinzhi came to the southwest, he had repeatedly discussed this matter with his father. The southwest camp was lost, but the connections that the Qi family had been operating for decades could not be lost.

Therefore, knowing that the southwest is remote, wild, and even possible to his life, Qi Jinzhi still came resolutely.

When he was in Wusa, Qi Jinzhi's words and deeds revealed a little bit of meaning - the southwest can't be chaotic anymore, Liang Wei and the Hao clan can't let them expand and swell anymore, they must be cleaned up!

Therefore, Qi Jinzhi used thunderous means and cut off the head of the second master of the Ma family as soon as he came up.

After several twists and turns, the situation in Wusa has stabilized, except for the thorn in the head of the Ma family, no matter what they think in their hearts, the other families have at least softened on the surface, and they have expressed the meaning of 'cooperation'.

Qi Jinzhi is confident that he will be able to completely control Usa within a year or two.

After taking Usa, Umeng is his next target, and the first step is to vigorously reduce the power of the wealthy clans.

It just so happened that King Xiaoliang came, and Qi Jinzhi thought of taking this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

"Then let's let out some more noise."

Qi Jinzhi fell down gently, and the tone of his speech was called 'light clouds and light winds', but the words he said were not very indifferent, "At the moment, they are just swaying left and right, and they have not yet made up their minds." Hehe, we're going to have to push them. ”

Mr. Ji stared at the chessboard with both eyes, as if he was a little worried about the situation in front of him, and unconsciously grabbed a few chess pieces in his right hand to play with in the palm of his hand, but said lightly: "Well, my subordinates are saved." I'll find someone to do it later. ”

After that, Mr. Ji fell into a long exam.

Qi Jinyi was leisurely and made a suggestion in passing: "Oh, by the way, in fact, there is no need to spread false news, just let people see our official warehouse." ”

The grain storage in the official warehouse is about to bottom out, and even if the amount of food is reduced to two meals a day and gruel, it will not last for a few days.

Although King Xiaoliang outside the city couldn't last long, when he escaped from Xin'an County, he ruthlessly looted the Xin'an official warehouse and the private treasury of the palace, and temporarily threw aside the gold, silver and jade artifacts, but packed a lot of grain, grass, medicinal materials and the like.

After coming out of Xin'an, he plundered many villages along the way.

King Xiaoliang is worthy of being a descendant of the nomadic people, and it is not too easy to do it by fighting and raising war.

Don't look at them as long distances, but the dry food accompanying them can last at least half a month.

Of course, King Xiaoliang can't just sit back and relax outside the city, and face the city, although he has no food crisis for the time being, but there are chasing soldiers.

Ma Hanze is not a vegetarian, and after receiving the news here, he will definitely come quickly.

Therefore, King Xiaoliang couldn't be trapped outside the city for too long, and he also wanted to fight quickly, enter Wumeng Mansion as soon as possible, capture Qi Jinzhi, and then plunder it well, and then turn around and touch back to Annan.

The only thing that King Xiao Liang is afraid of is the Qi family's firearms, if it is really as the rumors say, Qi Jinzhi did not bring too many firearms, then he can do it as soon as possible.

However, with Ma Zhongtai's experience, King Xiaoliang did not dare to act rashly.

Last night, after receiving the initiative of several wealthy families in the city, as well as the 'confidential news' presented as a certificate of nomination, King Xiaoliang still decided to wait and see for two more days.

Anyway, he can afford to wait for two or three days.

Encamped in the open space outside the city, King Xiaoliang had breakfast, and called a few loud people to continue to shout and curse outside the city gate.

This time, he quietly ordered people to advance thirty or forty zhang (that is, about 100 meters), which was still outside the range of firearms, but if the Qi family army tried hard, it was still possible to reach a distance.

Several of them were tall and strong, with big necks, and they were full of energy, and their voices were very loud when they scolded people.

Through a wall, everyone inside could hear clearly, let alone those standing on the gate tower.

Not only did they have to suffer verbal insults from the enemy, but they also had to watch them humiliate Qi Jinzhi and his wife with all kinds of obscene and shameless actions, far away in the guns of Gugaro in Usa.

"Ahh

A Qi family soldier standing in the city couldn't help it, ignoring Qi Jinzhi's ban, he took out a big bow, took out an ordinary feather arrow, wound the bow, and shot at the man who shouted the loudest.

Sou~

The sharp arrow pierced the air, made a crisp whistle sound, and drew a graceful arc in the eyes of everyone, and then floated down around the few men who were shouting and scolding.

It's not that the Qi family's archery method is too stinky, it's too far away, and the arrow gradually loses control after breaking through the air, and it can't hit the target at all.

"Ha~ Do you dare to show off this archery in front of us?"

Several big men let out a cold sweat, and when the arrow was slammed into the ground not far away, they let out a long breath, and then laughed at the soldiers on the city gate tower unscrupulously.

"Ouch, what, I can't listen to it anymore, if I can't listen to it, let Qi cut off my head to up, don't you have powerful firearms? Come on, up! ”

Several men adjusted the content of the scolding in a timely manner, and their expressions were contemptuous, and the words they spit out made people angry.

The Qi family army on the city wall was so angry that his hair was about to stand up, and the person who shot the arrow just now drew out another arrow in anger, gritted his teeth and pulled out the big bow, and when he was about to shoot out, Qi Dayong arrived.

slapped the sergeant in the face and scolded, "You bastard, forgot the uncle's orders? ”

Qi Dayong's strength was very great, the sergeant was beaten to a stagger, and was thrown directly to the city wall, half of his face was already swollen, a pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears, and the six-foot-tall man wiped his tears: "Boss, do you just let those Tartars abuse the uncle and grandmother like this?!" ”

The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated by the death, for the Qi family, Qi Jinzhi is their master.

Now watching their masters being humiliated makes them even more uncomfortable than killing them!

Qi Dayong's cheeks jumped suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you crying about, they scolded the uncle and grandmother, and we will kill them." Does it make sense for you to struggle like you when you know it's useless? Instead of spending this effort, it's better to wait for the time to come, let's kill him! ”

"Timing? What timing? Could it be? ”

The sergeant was not stupid, and after listening to Qi Dayong's words, he seemed to understand something.

Qi Dayong glanced at the people shouting under the city, then snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "Let those Tartars be arrogant for two more days, our uncle has already written a letter to General Ma, and in a few days, reinforcements will arrive." We're all going to be able to kill those damn bastards inside and out! ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the sergeant's eyes, wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, got up from the ground quickly, and muttered: "That's good, labor and management have already endured enough, and I just hope that reinforcements will come soon." ”

After saying this, he still said a little sheepishly: "However, those bastards down there are so hateful, I really want to greet them with 'rockets'." ”

Qi Dayong's face changed slightly, and he pulled the sergeant's sleeve hard, and handed him a fierce look.

Only then did the sergeant realize that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smirked twice, and mixed up the matter indiscriminately.

He thought he had fooled it, and he didn't want this scene to fall into the eyes of someone who cared.

Hiss~~ It seems that Qi does not have too many firearms in his hand, otherwise Qi Dayong would not have reacted like this.

And the reason why Qi beheaded was indifferent in the face of the Tartars' provocation was not that he was not angry, but that he wanted to wait for Ma Hanze's reinforcements to arrive, and borrow the firearms in his hands to attack with the reinforcements.

That firearm, which was probably used as a killer weapon by Qi to cut off his head, naturally could not be used easily before the critical time.

In the afternoon, the officials of the government were ordered to go to the official warehouse to carry grain, but they were surprised to find that there was less than a quarter of the grain stored in the huge official warehouse.

Counting the food stockpile, and counting the heads of people in the city, according to the amount of food per person per meal, hey, the food in Wumeng City could not last for three days.

Of course, the grain stored in the families of several wealthy families in Wumeng does not count.

But Qi cut off his head and probably didn't dare to rob the food of other people's 'people', and even if he robbed, he might not be able to do it better than others.

Since those families can be called 'wealthy families', the strength of the family is definitely not weak, and there are no less than a few hundred people in each of the nursing homes and families that are raised.

Several families united, hehe, without the need for King Xiaoliang to attack in, Qi beheading and his iron army can fall into a desperate situation.

In the evening, the night began, and the Umeng Mansion was exceptionally quiet.

A few black shadows flashed in the uninhabited alley, touched the root of the city wall, quietly opened the gate, and with a few slight sounds, several people slipped out again along the river.

On the tower of the city gate, the 'sleeping' pawns secretly opened a slit in their eyes, their ears moved, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise upward.

In the mansion, Qi Jinzhi had dinner and sat with Mr. Ji to chat.

Liu Hu hurriedly walked in and reported in detail what had just happened.

Qi Jinzhi smiled slightly, "It's not enough, maybe you need to add a little more fire!" ”

Mr. Ji held the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, sniffed the faint fragrance of tea with a look of enjoyment, and said in his mouth: "What do you mean, do you mean to add some 'guts' to those wealthy families?" ”

Qi Jinzhi nodded, "I heard that the villagers have almost trained?" ”

Mr. Ji took a small sip, took the tea on the tip of his tongue and tasted it carefully, and swallowed it slowly for a long time, and a satisfied look suddenly appeared on his face, "My subordinates can save it, tomorrow morning, Wumeng will definitely make a mess." ”
