Listening to Han Hao's statement of the so-called secret resistance of the water thief leaders, the potter became interested.

"How do you say this, for example," the potter raised his eyebrows and asked Han Hao.

Han Hao smiled and explained to him: "First, the water thief garrisons stationed in various parts of Wu County, Sheng Xian did not provide them with grain and grass, but only said that Wu County had poor harvests year after year, taxes were uneven, grain and grass were insufficient, and there was no surplus grain to supply to the county soldiers sent by the assassin Shi, let them figure out their own way." ”

"That's all he has to say." The potter smiled and shook his head, quite emotional.

Sheng Xian cut off the food for the water thieves in the county, this method has long been within the expectation of the potters, this is the simplest and most direct and effective method, simple and rude, effective in minutes.

"Without grain and grass, is there anyone making trouble in those sailors stationed in the county?" the potter suddenly wondered how these sailors solved this problem.

Han Hao nodded vigorously: "Of course there is!" Those water thieves were famous for burning, killing and looting on the Yangtze River back then, Sheng Xian gave them no food, they naturally would not agree, it is said that they mutinied several times, but they were pressed down by the leaders of those water thieves, Sheng Xian wished that they would mutiny, so that they could directly send troops to kill in the name of suppression. ”

The potter smiled: "Even if they are smart, if I guess correctly, next, those water thief leaders can't get food from Sheng Xian, so they should turn their heads and ask me."

Han Hao arched his hand and said: "I can't hide anything from the prince, it's really what we want." ”

As soon as he heard this, the potter's teeth itched with hatred.

Although he could somewhat understand the situation of those water thieves, Sheng Xian couldn't get the food and turned around and asked himself, and the potter felt that he was still a little bullying.

The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you give it?"

Han Hao nodded and said, "They are the generals who were personally surrendered by the Emperor of the Mansion, of course they have to be given." ”

"How to give it"

Han Hao's eyes drifted to the person opposite, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, it was given according to the method that Chen Yuanlong taught me." ”

The potter turned his head to Chen Deng again.

This guy gave Han Hao some bad idea to make Han Hao look like a bear.

But seeing Chen Deng's polite forehead to the potter, he patiently explained: "I have never used any special method in the next place, that is, every time I give grain, I send Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other old pawns to send it, and let them every time they send grain, they will be on the grain truck under the banner of Dashu Fujun, and those water thieves under the command of Gan and Zhou are dressed in fine armor and beautiful clothes, and before each time they go, they will be rewarded, so that when they go to deliver food, they can also talk to those water thieves in private, follow Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, How much benefit is it to go directly to my Jinling Chinese army......"

The potter listened to Chen Deng's words and directly evaluated his merits in four words.

"Well done!"

In the eyes of the potters, Chen Deng was really bad enough to drop the scum, so he asked the water thieves under Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to send grain, and told those water thieves that the grain was taken by his potter, so that they could be grateful to the potters.

And these water thieves who are dressed in fine armor, holding heavy rewards, and living a good life in Jinling have to brag with their old water thieves every time they send food.

How is Lao Zhang doing, what is Lao Li doing now, and how promising Lao Wang is...... And so on.

In this world, there is no harm without comparison. Once or twice is like that, but after a long time, the potter will also think of it with his toes, and those raw water thieves and horses who follow the leader in the Wu County garrison will definitely have great resentment.

People are very strange creatures, they are rarely jealous of the rich and rich people they don't know, but they like to be jealous of the little rich families they know around them.

Replaced by no one is balanced, the same is the water thief who took refuge in the underground under the potter's hands, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's men followed the potter's station in Jinling City, and became a water army, one more than a living spirit, one more like a human being...... On the other hand, the remaining stupid leaders are very selfish, and they have to govern the county independently, but now it is good - the leaders are independent, but the soldiers below are not people, and they have to rely on others to help them! Living day by day is like begging for food, but this day is not as comfortable as when he was a thief.

After a long time, those water thieves and the leaders of the counties they insisted on becoming independent were bound to turn away from Germany.

This is called differentiation.

Chen Deng, an old boy, has lost his home.

"Sheng Xian's trick to deal with me should not be the only one to cut off food, if he only has this ability, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it for so long, Wu Jun will not be too guarded." The potter continued to ask.

Han Hao replied with his forehead: "The prince of the palace is wise, in addition to restricting the grain and straw of the garrisons in the subordinate counties of Wu County, Sheng Xian also gave them a dose of fierce medicine - that is, let the soldiers and horses stationed in each county crusade against the Shanyue Qu Marshal in Wu County. ”

The Shanyue mentioned by Han Hao does not simply refer to the descendants of the Yue people who live in the mountains or the natives of Jiangnan.

No matter what kind of mountain people or indigenous, for the county guards and county magistrates in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, even if they are not easy to manage, they belong to the people under their jurisdiction, and sometimes even if they can't afford to provoke them, as long as they don't rebel, they can tolerate it.

But the leader of Shanyuezhong, once he hangs up the word Qu Shuai, it is not very good.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from a rebel like Zhang Jiao, who belongs to a pure local thief.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the officials were corrupt and corrupt, coupled with the division of the heroes, the soldiers and the calamities, many low-level people in order to escape the disaster of war, actually moved into the mountains with their families, and some of the powerful families who saw through the red dust often joined the mountains and even developed into bandits.

This is a common phenomenon, and the land south of the Yangtze River, due to the discrimination against the mountain people and the indigenous remnants, sometimes this part is also called Shanyue, the two are often used interchangeably, but in fact they are not the same in nature, the name of the Shanyue sect thief, sometimes, refers to the local rebellious leader of the Han nationality.

And Sheng Xian asked the thieves stationed in various parts of Wu County to crusade against the local Shanyue Qu Shuai in Wu County, to put it bluntly, this is simply to kill people with a knife, and it is impossible to do it with the strength of those water thieves.

All over the south of the Yangtze River, there are Shanyue sect thieves, but for now, the two most powerful Shanyue sect thieves are in Wu County.

One is the Shanyue Qu Shuai Zulang near Jing County, who has been active in the Wanling area since he entered the mountain and became a Shanyue, opposing the Eastern Han government.

It wasn't until the potters took over Danyang County that they brought a series of fierce generals such as Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, and Tao Ji, and they shocked the Quartet of Danyang County and made Jinling City a great rule.

No matter how awesome Zu Lang was, he didn't dare to scream in front of the Jinling army, which defeated Yuan Shu's 100,000 people, and then moved eastward and transferred the thieves under his command to the location of Wu County.

And the local area of Wu County has a more powerful Shanyue sect thief.

Yan Baihu, who has 10,000 people under his command!

According to the current strength of the pottery merchants, even if Yan Baihu has 10,000 thieves, he can only pretend to be eggs with the local county soldiers or other Shanyue Qu marshals, and in front of the soldiers and horses of Jinling City, Yan Baihu can't even make a sound.

He's a wilt at best.

But for those water thieves scattered in various counties, Yan Baihu, who has 10,000 people, is basically considered heaven.

What's even more impossible to compare is that those water thieves, whose skills were practiced on the Yangtze River back then, were invincible in water battles, and they could fight mountain battles with Yan Baihu truthfully......

It is estimated that Yan Baihu can plant each of them on the hillside, and the green willows are evergreen.

Sheng Xian's murder with a knife is really wonderful.

But the potter found it interesting.

If Sheng Xian didn't even have a way to crack these two times, he really wouldn't be qualified to let himself accompany him personally, maybe the potter only needed to send Chen Deng, and one of Guo Jia's two designs to clean him up is enough.

But at the moment, the potter really wants to meet Wu Jun for a while.

As if he saw the potter's thoughts, Chen Deng immediately admonished: "The prince of the palace does not need to worry, with Deng's understanding of these water thieves, Sheng Xian has set such a big trap for them, and these water thieves will ask the prince for help if they have nothing to do." ”

Han Hao also stroked his palms and said: "That's fine, at that time, in the name of supporting the local county soldiers, the Fujun will let Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, write a letter, and allow the Fujun to send troops into Wu County to suppress the bandits and crusade against the Shanyue Sect thieves!" The prince of the palace took advantage of the situation to enter Wu County, one was to pick up the leaders of the water thieves who refused to sincerely belong that day, and to gather the soldiers under their command to return to their hearts, and the other was to use the excuse of pacifying Shanyue to take Sheng Xian in one fell swoop and obtain Wu County! ”

Chen Deng pondered for a moment, and added on the side: "Although Sheng Xian is a literati, he is a famous man on the same level as Kong Rong, and it is best not to fight him, and it is best to surrender to him without a fight." ”

The potter smiled and stretched out his finger and said, "I wrote this down...... However, Tao thinks that there is a third point, I nominally sent troops to sweep away the thieves, but in fact, I really want to take the opportunity to attack in one fell swoop and take down the Pi country! ”

Chen Deng smiled when he heard this: "The sound is blowing from east to west, and Zhenrong thinks that Fujun went to Wu County to clean up Shanyue, but in fact, Fujun's real purpose is that fake monk who advocates Buddhism, right?"

The potter nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we don't have time to spend too much time in the three counties in the south...... We must take advantage of this opportunity to pacify the three counties as quickly as possible and pacify the rear. ”

……

……

According to Chen Deng's assumption, the water thieves stationed in Wu County, led by Liu Zhai, really sent a letter of help to Danyang County, but the content of the letter was essentially slightly different from what the potter and Chen Deng had guessed in advance.

The leaders of the water thieves did something stupid, which really made the potters cry and laugh.

Sheng Xian ordered the garrisons stationed in various counties to crusade against the Shanyue Qu Marshal in Wu County, which was indeed too harsh for these water thieves.

The thieves of the Shanyue Sect are all hidden in the mountains and forests in places that are difficult to find, even if they can find them, how can they get rid of so many Shanyue Sect thieves at a time, and they are not good at mountain warfare!

Under Sheng Xian's coercion, the water thief leaders came up with a stupid way to be stupid anymore.

They each pretended to send troops, wandered around the mountains, and came to the middle of the mountain for a seven-day National Day.

Then after the water thieves returned, they directly reported to Sheng Xian, saying that the Shanyue army and its leader Zu Lang, who had migrated from Wanling to Wu County, had been wiped out by their own side in seven days in this dispatch.

Lying about military exploits is really stupid, and it can't be stupid anymore, and only these water thief leaders can think of this kind of thing.
