Chapter 124: Preparing for War
"Yes, sir!" All the warriors hurriedly received the order, and the others could be delayed a little, but the matter of guarding the boundary stone was very important, because the whole family of the Linhe Hall was extinct, and the previous territorial documents would be useless, especially Zhao Hu occupied the entire territory of Linhe Village, and after the surrounding forces got the news, it would be strange not to rush up and divide it! It's very polite to secretly move the boundary stone, and it's not impossible to directly send troops to invade it!
One night ended in the midst of the chaos, and it was only at dawn that the exhausted villagers retreated to their homes to rest. But Zhao Hu's warriors rushed in all directions with strong spirits, and naturally claimed to be looking for traces of Fan Ming.
At the same time, the ruling rights of the Zhao family were announced to the whole lord of Linhe Village, and as long as they watched the samurai with the dragon and the banner wandering around the territory of Linhe Village, the farmers who knew the secular situation would know what was going on.
His subordinates are working hard outside, and Zhao Hu is naturally not easy, one is the envoy of the surrounding forces who received the news as soon as possible, and the other is to appease the businessmen who came to buy grain before. For merchants, as long as they do not violate their own rules, Zhao Hu allows them to do business on their own territory.
As for those power envoys who came early to learn the news, Zhao Hu just met politely, led them to see the corpses of the Linhe Palace, and then let them wander around Linhe Village at will, and did such a wonderful job last night, so he was not afraid that they would find out what was going on.
And, even if you find out what the situation is? I just need a plausible excuse to be the skin, and now the whole family of this Linhe Palace is extinct, even the retainers are extinct, and I am the first to come here, not only repelling the looting of the Wind Thieves, but also rescuing Linhe Village with virtue as revenge, so the lord of Linhe Village should be himself.
Because of this, the envoys of the surrounding forces who came one after another to get the news said that everything else would be treated by Zhao Hu with a good voice, but once he said that the benefits were shared, Zhao Hu directly ignored it.
And when this news came back, the surrounding forces were naturally extremely unhappy, damn it! The territory of Linhe Village on paper is more than 3,000 stones, and only those who control it can understand how much.
But just these more than 3,000 stones fell into the hands of that Ling family's hundred-stone warrior all at once? Do you have such a big appetite for this product? And you still refuse to share a little benefit? Aren't you afraid to die?!
So naturally, the rumors that the Zhao family hooked up with the Wind Thieves to kill the Linhe Palace and take the opportunity to annex Linhe Village immediately spread. It's just that this rumor is only on the official side, and the people are still the kind that Zhao Hu showed, Linhe Hall paid to invite the Wind Thieves to try to kill the Zhao family, but they were killed by the Zhao family, and the Wind Thieves who escaped naturally retaliated against the Linhe Palace.
The reason why there are such two extremes is because the rumors on the official face are that the families only need an excuse to send troops, while the folk are the people of Linhe Village who have experienced it personally, so on the whole, everyone agrees with the folk statement, but the interests conflict, and the families still firmly believe in the official statement.
So as the news that Ling Wucheng did not react to this matter came, for a while, the entire Tianlan Township was in turmoil, and various forces began to recruit troops, and the forces of Donghai County, which were originally about to move, found out about this situation and had to reluctantly stop their actions again.
Tianlan Township is ready to go to war, all the money and food are used to fight, it seems that there is no way to reap the benefits in Tianlan Township this time, just wait, see who wins, and scrape him hard!
The changes in the surrounding forces, especially the situation in which Ling Wucheng did not react, all fell into Zhao Hu's eyes. The surrounding forces are unwilling to be swallowed by the Zhao family alone, so they are ready to attack in groups, but it is understandable.
After all, he has just risen, and he has no friendship with these surrounding forces, especially since he is just a banner warrior of the Ling family who knows how to do it on the surface, and he was worried about Ling Wucheng before, but after Ling Wucheng suddenly didn't say anything, it was a hint that they were going to do it as soon as possible!
As for Ling Wucheng not speaking, this is what Zhao Hu can't believe, Ling Wucheng's people are so stupid? You must know how you are all the direct retainers of the Ling family, your knowledge and practice have expanded, and you only need one confirmation, and you must fight for the Ling family with the expanded number of knowledge and practice. This is also one of the overall strengths of the Ling family! Why are you so silent, not supportive, almost trying to force yourself out of the Ling family?
Could it be that they would still be a little naΓ―ve to think that the surrounding forces of Tianlan Township had destroyed themselves and would give a little land to Ling Wu City?
I really don't understand Ling Wucheng's thoughts, my own people don't support it, but watch the fire from the other side, so whoever wins will be unhappy with Ling Wucheng!
It's just that this kind of distress was thrown off just by staying in Zhao Hu's mind, and now it's time to see how many forces in Tianlan Township have been added.
There is no need to investigate, the forces of the entire Tianlan Township are making a big splash, and the five thousand stone forces with great names are all gathering all the peasants and soldiers.
And the Hundred Stone forces are all attached to these five forces. Equally eager to try and ready to get a piece of the pie. It can be said that the family forces of the entire Tianlan Township are ready to unite and destroy the Zhao family, the new Ding.
Sensing this situation, the entire Zhao family became nervous, and only Wang Yong and Zhao Hu in the entire Zhao family looked calm. Those anxious warriors didn't dare to ask Zhao Hu about it. Naturally, they all rushed to Wang Yong's side to inquire.
For the inquiries of his colleagues, Wang Yong was not arrogant or anything like that, but received him very warmly and responded familiarly; "This is too simple, if Ling Wucheng is involved, then I am really as nervous as you are. But now Ling Wucheng didn't participate, it's just that the forces of the entire Tianlan Township are participating in the siege of us. β
"Lord Wang Yong, the five major forces in Tianlan Township plus many small forces can at least gather hundreds of warriors and five thousand peasant soldiers!"
"Tsk, you still haven't figured it out, if it were to be another township. This is really a powerful army, but don't forget, this is Tianlan Township, which is invaded and ravaged by the guys in Donghai County every year, and it is a Tianlan Township where many forces desperately want to hide grain and escape the catastrophe as soon as the autumn harvest arrives! It's a Tianlan Township where most samurai don't have the power! β
"It's just that there is a Taoist temple in Tianlan Township this day, and those families won't be as stupid as Linhe Hall to hoard money and then learn power at one time, right? Now they should all learn a trick or two! β
"Cut! Do you think they are our lords? The power you just learned isn't powerful, right? Therefore, there is the existence of the lord and my Wang Yong. It is not difficult to sweep this Tianlan Township at all, and you are worried that you will not be able to overcome the problem, so you might as well think about how to establish meritorious deeds. I, Wang Yong, want to take this good opportunity to earn a few rewards for Wang Yong's family! Wang Yong wiped the saber with a calm face.
The other samurai looked at each other, and it took a moment to come to their senses. Yes, because of the annual invasion of Donghai County, many forces in Tianlan Township not only can't hoard money, but even powerful warriors can't hoard, and none of the forces have a steep and sturdy castle. The appearance of gathering the whole township's army this time is not to exterminate the Zhao family. On the contrary, it is a great moment for the Zhao family to annex the entire Tianlan Township and become a small lord in one fell swoop!
Naturally, many samurai were immediately enthusiastic, and they were all gearing up to make a big splash in what could be seen as a battle. But there were also some cautious warriors who asked cautiously: "Lord Wang Yong, what if my Zhao family is not happy after the Tianlan Township is unified, what should the Ling family do?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and nervous, the Ling family is different from other small forces, it is a hundred thousand stone lords, and it is one of the five most powerful forces in the country! It is said that there are hundreds of powerful warriors! There's absolutely no good end to playing with him!
"Hehe, don't forget that our lord is a direct warrior of the Ling family, and the warriors under his command are strong, and the lord family can only suppress it when he is happy! Now that the Ling family is ignoring this matter, the Ling family has lost the right to speak about the situation behind.
And even if the Ling family tears their faces, our Zhao family doesn't need to worry about anything, and the other forces in the entire Donglai County will be on our side at that time! There have been countless examples of this kind of thing for a long time.
It can be said that the Ling family's mistakes are mistakes, and they did not stand on our Zhao family's side with a clear banner at the beginning, so whatever changes in the future, they have lost the ability to take the lead, and they can only go with the flow. Wang Yong was very calm.
Everyone is not stupid, especially after giving Zhao Hu cultural education, they immediately woke up, just think about the changes in the many forces in their country, and think about the situation of all the small forces concentrating on the five major forces. After understanding this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, the luck of the Zhao family is really fucking good!
It is not surprising that if it weren't for the fact that there was a group of swift wind thieves, it would be impossible for the Zhao family to occupy Linhe Village, if it weren't for the Zhao family's rise and lack of prestige, other forces would not have attacked in groups, and the Zhao family would naturally not have the opportunity to annex the entire Tianlan Township.
Because all the forces above Qianshi Zhixing in the country are members of a big alliance, it's okay to fight each other when there is a dispute, but they will definitely not swallow each other, because the other forces in the alliance will stop it, and everyone forms a big alliance to stop the expansion of the five major forces, but you can't engage in infighting!
Just thinking of the existence of the Grand Alliance, some samurai couldn't help but ask, "What if the Grand Alliance interferes with us?" β
