Chapter 269: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
In the following days, a few people who had suffered huge grievances went to Songzhou to file a complaint in desperation, and Liu Wen also solved all of them.
Because of these few things, the people of Jiangnan no longer influenced by Yang Guang, and the negative evaluation has changed from a positive evaluation.
In addition, the main area of Songzhou is the former Danyang, where the people are good rangers and value affection, and Liu Wen's approach is deeply recognized by the local people.
Because of Liu Wen's chivalrous behavior, some people privately called him 'the chivalrous king'.
Because of Liu Wen's sharp blade hanging over his head.
Whether it is Yang Liang, or where Liu Yuanjin, Zhu Xie, and Guan Chong revolted, those heroes who oppressed the people have been reined in.
Even if they annexed the land, they all came cautiously, and did not dare to blatantly seize it.
If they do something angry and resentful, they will also control the victims, and they will not be allowed to go to Songzhou to complain.
And Liu Wen has said several times that 'the tiller has his field' and something like that.
This also made some people remember it.
Some people couldn't survive because of the land annexation, and they didn't want to become Haoqiang's domestic slaves, so they defected to Songzhou, but after arriving, Liu Wen really arranged land for them.
Immediately after the news spread, more people began to emigrate to Songzhou.
And Liu Wen also received it in full.
Anyway, because of the conquest in recent years, a large amount of land has been vacated.
Moreover, recently, dozens of Haoqiang who have schemingly seized the land of the people have been suppressed by Liu Wen, and their family's arable land has also been confiscated by the government.
With this cultivated land, not to mention arranging tens of thousands of people, even millions of people are no problem.
Many people have found a way to live. Whether in the turbulent Wu County or in the prefecture and county controlled by Yang Liang, many people began to leave their hometowns and go to Song Prefecture to seek a living.
In this way, the ruling foundation of the Jiangnan clan was gradually shaken by Liu Wen, and Liu Wen became a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
But no matter how angry they are, it is useless.
Liu Wen's army is mainly composed of tool people, and he does not need the support of these families at all.
It's just that they're honest and obedient.
If you really dare to play tricks with Liu Wen, it is definitely self-defeating.
And if they join forces to use troops against Liu Wen, they will only die faster.
Of course, these big families are not waiting to be killed, they know that they can't do it against Liu Wen, so they began to send their subordinates to buy the people around Liu Wen.
He even planned to let Liu Wen's subordinates rebel against him, kill Liu Wen by assassination and other methods, and establish a force willing to cooperate with the family.
It's a pity that they didn't know about Liu Wen's relationship with his subordinates, and everything they did was not only in vain, but also gave Liu Wen the opportunity to pass on false news to mislead them.
As for Patriarch Oudou.
After he left Jiankang, there was no news from the Immortal Sect, and no one came to Liu Wen for revenge.
Time flies, the Xuantie armor is still slowly manufactured, although there are Song Dynasty craftsmen like Tang Long who have brought new technologies, but the overall productivity of this era is backward, and technological innovation can not be completed in a short time.
……
And in the northern theater.
Yue Yun led 7,000 soldiers and horses, won all nine battles, and not only took the nine fortresses of Goguryeo, but also crippled their main force.
Such a battle situation was completely unexpected by Yang Guang.
He regrets it a little now.
felt that Gao Ju should not be taken too seriously, so that he wasted the people's power and mobilized a million troops.
……
Before you know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
Liu Wen remembered to help his aunt celebrate her 60th birthday, so he sent Zhou Qing and asked him to take the money of his servants to Licheng to help Qin Qiong prepare for the birthday banquet.
A few days later, Liu Wen received a letter from Xu Maogong, opened it, and couldn't help frowning.
'The Li brothers have secretly returned to Taiyuan? ’
Xue Ju and Guan Hai were taken away by unknown people, and they have all failed to operate in Longxi.
If the Li brothers are allowed to become the climate in Taiyuan, then their plan to occupy Guanzhong will be in vain.
Unable to take the treasure land of Guanzhong, affected by the terrain and other factors, it is not easy to unify the world through the Northern Expedition.
【System Prompt】
Generate a new branch: Exorcise the Tiger and Devour the Wolf (Expose the ambitions of the Li brothers, force them to Longxi, and let them intrigue with Xue Ju.) Reward: 1 Harvest Card)
【Harvest Card】
After using this card, the wind and rain can be adjusted within a radius of 100 kilometers in the designated area, and the grain production can be increased by 30%. (Statute of limitations: 1 year)
This card is good.
Although they can buy cheap food through the system, there is no shortage of food at all.
But a bumper harvest under his own rule will definitely attract more people here.
'But this task of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf ......'
Liu Wen frowned, not knowing what to do for a while.
When they discussed with Zhou Yu, Jin Wushu and Feng Dao, all three of them suggested that Liu Wen go to Bingzhou and make a big fuss with the Li brothers to completely expose their whereabouts.
These people left the fiefdom to go to the state to carry out activities, and their ambitions were naturally exposed.
Liu Wen thought for a moment.
It is definitely not possible to fight Li Yuanba by himself.
Shi Jianjiao and Lu Wenlong, even if they are not famous in the world, they are also famous in Jiangnan.
Once their identities are revealed, it is difficult to explain them themselves.
The only one who can help is Luo Shixin.
However, although Luo Shixin has a lot of strength, he doesn't know martial arts, and it's okay to have a few moves with Li Yuanba, but once he fights to the death, he may not be able to win.
And if he turned this righteous brother into a tool man, Liu Wen couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Huh? That's right! I also have a [Dragon Whale Forging Body Pill], anyway, Shixin has a stupid brain and can't cultivate normally, so I use this pill to increase his strength. ”
Paying attention, Liu Wen went to the backyard to find Luo Shixin and gave him the pill.
I didn't expect this kid to be really competitive, and after the development of the elixir, he added more than 14,000 catties of strength.
It's all up to the upper limit of the pill's increase.
That's more than the power of an elephant.
Such an improvement will definitely give Luo Shixin the upper hand in the competition with Li Yuanba.
After making preparations, Liu Wen found an excuse and announced that he was retreating for alchemy, preparing to refine the longevity pill for his aunt as a birthday gift, and then left with Shan Xiongxin.
Xiao Pepper wanted to go back and take a look, but Liu Wen couldn't stop her, so he took her.
The three of them first came to Luzhou, and when they entered Erxian Village, they saw that Xu Maogong was also there, Liu Wen did not hide it, and told him and Shan Xiongxin his thoughts.
Xu Maogong nodded: "This is indeed a good way." But I heard that Li Yuanba is gifted and has the power of four elephants, Shixin doesn't know martial arts, will he suffer a little bit when he fights? ”
"It should be fine. I also fought with Li Yuanba, and Shixin's strength has increased recently, and his strength must have stabilized him a lot. ”
"Oh?"
Xu Maogong's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "In this case, let Shixin be with me, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to let him and Li Yuanba have a good fight." ”
Liu Wenming confessed that he had thought of some ghost idea again, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's going to be troublesome." ”
After talking about business, Shan Xiongxin found an opportunity to talk to Liu Wen alone.
"Thank you, brother."
Liu Wenming confessed, he said that he accepted Xu Maogong.
After all, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Maogong were young, and although they were dissatisfied with Xu Maogong's secret defection to the Li family, Shan Xiongxin still didn't want to lose this friend.
Now that they are working for Liu Wen together, all the contradictions are naturally gone.
Liu Wen's acceptance of Xu Maogong was not just for Shan Xiongxin.
After all, there are still system tasks.
"Second brother Shan, don't thank me, I'm also starting from interests......"
"Anyway, I still have to thank you, and when the banquet begins, you must have a few more drinks."
Hearing Shan Xiongxin say this, Liu Wen readily agreed.
