Chapter 40 Politics is an amazing thing

The battle lasted for half an hour, and Tang Xiao finally felt a crack in the bottleneck of his cultivation.

He was ecstatic.

Then riveted.

Suddenly swung a knife.

With this sword, the bottleneck of his cultivation completely shattered.

He only felt a strong force surging from his body, and the momentum of the whole person was completely different in an instant.

Mu Huanyang and the deputy commander could both feel that his cultivation had broken through.

Mu Huanyang smiled.

The deputy commander gritted his teeth in hatred.

Then the rest of the battle becomes even easier.

Two foundation-building monks versus one foundation-building monk was originally in the form of a large and small trumpet playing a copy, but now it is even more one-sided.

Mu Huanyang still deliberately retained his strength.

He wants to let Tang Xiao, who has just broken through, consolidate his cultivation through a hearty battle.

In the end, Tang Xiao lived up to his expectations and cut off the head of the deputy commander with a knife, and a pillar of blood instantly rose to the sky, indicating that the county government army was about to be defeated.

Despair swept wildly through the army of the county government.

A large number of people fled in drove.

Then, under heavy surroundment, a large number of people surrendered on their knees.

It didn't take long for the battle to be declared over.

Tang Xiao's men began to clean up the battlefield and take prisoners.

All the battles before and after, adding up to more than 200 prisoners, of which cultivators accounted for the majority, it can be said that the quality of the soldiers in the county government troops is really far better than the county soldiers by several grades.

But in the face of so many captives, Tang Xiao also had a bit of a headache.

Because he knew that it would not be easy to recruit these people.

It's a pity to let them go, kill them and be brutal, only to keep them as hard laborers for the time being, but now there is nothing to build in Luo County, and keeping a group of hard laborers will eventually raise a group of people for nothing.

Hey, wait! You can force this group of people to farm for themselves!

Think about it, there are still cultivators here, dignified cultivators farm for themselves, how face-saving it is!

Pang Ye looked at Tang Xiao from afar, and now he already has some admiration for Tang Xiao.

It was Tang Xiao who told him the reason for the dawn attack, and the last battle really proved that Tang Xiao's speculation was completely correct, he had been a general for so long, and he had never fought such a smooth battle.

If Tang Xiao knew his thoughts, he would definitely be surprised.

Big brother, this is the worst battle we've ever fought, right?

You don't even know how we fought in the past, how can we have such a chance to fight hard?

After the battlefield was cleaned up, Tang Xiao held a celebration banquet.

He wanted to let the cheerful atmosphere spread throughout Luo County, so that the people of Luo County would know that they had just won the crusade against the officers and soldiers.

At the banquet, he generously declared that everyone had the right to practice and that everyone should be equal in cultivation. Therefore, from today onwards, the practice of exercises is completely open to civilians, and he is willing to take out an improved version of the set of exercises practiced by the Song army and distribute it to every civilian in Luo County for free.

The news spread quickly, and then shocked the entire Luo County again.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiao said to Uncle Tang on the side: "After the exercises spread, you will post a notice to remind the people that the exercises they have obtained are not allowed by the Song court, and once the Song court knows that they have practiced this set of exercises, they will inevitably be sealed and cultivated by the Song government." In addition, if they want to obtain the Dao Fa supernatural powers, they only need to join us to learn them for free. ”

After thinking about Tang Xiao's order for a while, everyone suddenly realized that they all praised Tang Xiao for his cleverness.

Tang Xiao is luring the people of Luo County to become completely hostile to the Song court!

Once you get something, you don't want to give it up.

If the people have obtained the exercises, where are they willing to let the government seal and cultivate? Isn't that no different from taking their lives?

Then Tang Xiao used the magic power of Taoism to attract people to join, and they made full use of people's psychology.

Just like Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, once a person has satisfied a certain need, he will crave further needs, and those who have practiced the exercises will gradually desire to obtain the Dao Fa supernatural powers, and where can ordinary people go to obtain the Dao Fa supernatural powers! Therefore, the Caojishan Righteous Army at that time was a good place for the common people.

Captain Kong asked Tang Xiao, "Sir, what if I annoy the Song court?"

Tang Xiao said indifferently: "Even if you annoy the Song court, it is the state government that makes the move, right?

He didn't say that his next thing to do was to take the county.

After taking the county seat, it will be difficult for the state government to think of it.

He continued: "Since the state government is about to run out of patience with us, why don't we take the opportunity to build a good public base, so that we can also attract more people to join us in resisting the wrath of the state government." ”

"But those are just ordinary people! If we really annoy the state capital, and the state government sends a Jindan monk over, we will be done with the whole game. ”

"Hey, this is a celebration feast, don't talk about it so badly. You can also rest assured, there are only a few Jindan monks under the jurisdiction of the state capital, and it is not so easy to directly send Jindan monks to appear. Tang Xiao said with relief.

He had been studying politics lately, and the more thoroughly he studied it, the more certain he was that the state government would not suddenly send a Jindan monk over.

Because it does not meet the political needs of the state pastor, if in the face of a rabble like them, the state pastor still wants to kill chickens with a knife, it will definitely be labeled as incompetent, in other words, the more the state pastor attaches importance to them, and the more they are really raised from the level of bandits to the ranks of anti-thieves, the easier it will be for the state pastor to be attacked by political enemies.

Therefore, the governor has been deceiving himself to define them as bandits, which can be seen between the lines in the letters sent by the state capital to Luo County, even if they capture Luo County, they will only be regarded as a group of more powerful bandits.

For the governors, they are not really enemies, but political enemies called colleagues.

There are many stupid behaviors in the courts of various dynasties in Chinese history, which seem incomprehensible, but in fact, they are all because of political needs.

Politics is a magical thing.

Subsequently, Tang Xiao instructed Uncle Tang to do a good job of recruiting troops, and recruit a large number of troops in Luo County from tomorrow morning.

Uncle Tang nodded and took the order.

The next day, when Uncle Tang began to lead people to set up stalls to recruit soldiers, Tang Xiao took Pang Ye to change into civilian clothes, and the two rode straight to Changping County.

The two of them are going to challenge an impossible task!

The recruitment situation in Luo County was completely unexpected by Uncle Tang.

Compared with the last time the recruits were crowded, this time there was a long queue.

Obviously, after winning the battle with the county government, the people of Luo County have more trust in the ability of the Caojishan Righteous Army, and the people don't have so many ideas, and they feel that winning the battle is powerful, so they don't have too many worries about joining them.

What's more, after Tang Xiao publicly practiced the exercises, many talented people successfully entered, and then after the "caring person" arranged by Tang Xiao, they began to crave Taoist supernatural powers.

Only the squires of the clan watched and sneered from the sidelines, they were smart people, and they didn't believe that Tang Xiao and his gang could jump around for too long.

Tang Xiao stood not far away and looked at the recruiting office with a smile, he simply counted the length of the team, this is not to say that there are a hundred people, and there are men and women among them, obviously Zhang Damiang's women's army has indeed played an exemplary role in Luo County.

If this goes on for a day, I'm afraid that more than 300 people will join their ranks, and there will be many women among them.

If it weren't for the Song Qin campaign, the Song Kingdom had already recruited troops on a large scale, and it is estimated that there would be more people willing to join Tang Xiao.

After Tang Xiao returned to the county mansion, Pang Ye immediately came up and asked, "What is the next plan?" ”

I made an appointment for New Year's Eve tonight, so there is only 1 more!

It's the last day of 2019, I wish you all a happy holiday tomorrow in advance!
