Chapter 178: Asking for a Hammer

Seeing Zhu Zhi'e's figure, Zhu Xianxuan was stunned, and when he saw Chang Yu, his eyes suddenly lit up, Cai Maode and other officials were also a little surprised, and just wanted to salute him, but when they saw Chang Yu make a look, they knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so everyone just nodded slightly.

"I heard that you were back early in the morning, and I thought I would look for you later, but I didn't think you were coming, what is the situation in the south?" The safety of Taiyuan is related to the rise and fall of the King of Jin, Zhu Xianxuan is very concerned, and pulls Chang Yu aside and asks quietly.

"Temporarily drag down the thief army" Chang Yu replied casually, he was more concerned about the outcome of Zhu Xianxuan's charity dinner?

"Raise 500,000 silver and 200,000 stone of grain, this king has dragged all the famous gentry and rich people in the city" Zhu Xianxuan looked at Chang Yu as if he was asking for credit: "You asked this king to do it, this king can do it, and then it depends on how the factory lord wields."

Good guy, Chang Yu was a little surprised, in his opinion, it would be good to be able to raise 100,000 taels, and it would be a surprise to be able to get 50,000 stones of grain, but he didn't expect Zhu Xianxuan to give him a super gift package.

"Surprise, this king has made a killer move to have such a harvest" Zhu Xianxuan looked proud.

What a killer feature, Chang Yu was curious.

"Seal the city gates, only enter, not leave!"

Chang Yu realized, it was really vicious enough, in history, the thief army went eastward, and everywhere he went, most of the rich officials and gentry in the city immediately fled north when they heard the news, or sneaked directly into the mountains.

Zhu Xianxuan's closure of the city now is a ruthless move, if Lao Tzu doesn't leave, you don't want to leave, you have to be buried when Lao Tzu dies, no wonder these rich people are so generous, they have no choice, they can't hold the city, everyone has to die!

Awesome! Chang Yu gave Zhu Xianxuan a thumbs up!

"Now we have money, food and soldiers, if we can't hold Taiyuan City, then it's really a waste!"

Zhu Xianxuan was immediately overjoyed: "You are 100% sure."

No! Chang Yu shook his head,

Zhu Xianxuan was stunned: "Didn't you just say ......"

"What I just meant was that everything was ready, and you could let go of the fight, but whether you could hold it still depends on the heart of the army, the soldier is willing to live and die, and only if you dare to kill and fight can you be fully sure" Chang Yu said and sighed: "You also know the current military heart."

Zhu Xianxuan's face suddenly turned gray, of course he knew the current military spirit of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the soldiers were messing around, few were willing to fight, once they did it, they would surrender if they could, they would run if they could, and few would be willing to die.

"So, then, what can you do?"

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "What is a good way, now there is only one hand of silver, one hand of knife, obedient reward, disobedient cut, two-pronged should be effective."

Zhu Xianxuan nodded slightly: "Fortunately, there is still a hand of silver, if there is no silver, only a knife is useless."

"Master Changgong, can the grass people have something to say?"

Chang Yu and Zhu Xianxuan were talking on the side, Cai Maode and others were also not far away, and everyone could hear the conversation between the two, but no one interjected, at this time, someone interjected, and it turned out to be the sheep herder Yu Jackie Chan who had just come from Luliang Ravine.

Although Brother Yu said, "Chang Yu hugged his fists, Yu Jackie Chan had no official position at this time, and to be honest, he was a grass citizen, but Chang Yu respected him, and he was respectful in his words and deeds, which was also the reason why other officials did not dare to underestimate Yu Jackie Chan."

"Adults are serious"

Yu Chenglong actually didn't know what Chang Yu, the powerful eunuch, liked him, to be honest, he also had great prejudice against eunuchs like other literati, this was a natural hostility between literati and eunuch groups, but he was extremely conflicted about Chang Yu in his heart, and he couldn't hate it at all.

These days, he has also heard a lot of legends about Chang Yu, and even an old and senior natural enemy like Cai Maode has admired Chang Yu, and he sees that Chang Yu is young and behaves strangely, but he deeply feels that this person is very different from those legendary power eunuchs, so he also has a vague sense of intimacy with Chang Yu.

"My lord, since we can use extraordinary methods to stabilize the hearts of the people, why can't we use the same methods to stabilize the morale of the army?" Yu Jackie Chan's words lightly made the people present suddenly feel enlightened!

That's right, the rumor-mongering thief army indiscriminately kills innocent people to stabilize the people's hearts, why can't the rumor-mongering thief army pretend to recruit surrender but actually slaughter the surrendered army to stabilize and unite the army's heart.

Chang Yu patted his head heavily, turned to an entourage beside him and said, "Go find the chief soldier and let him discuss matters at the head of the city."

"Brother Yu, in the battle of Taiyuan, this governor will make a contribution to you!"

Chang Yu watched Yu Chenglong hug a heavy fist.

Yu Chengchan smiled silently and returned the salute.

"It's a good plan, but it's not easy to implement, and it's better to have examples," Cai Maode said softly at this time.

Chang Yu fell into deep thought.

The soldiers are all old fritters, not as stupid and naïve as the common people, just make up a rumor and believe it, that is to use a real hammer to speak.

If few people believe in the absence of a real hammer, how can the soldiers be convinced of the massacre of the thieves?

"Master Changgong, report to the city, Mr. Zhou will let you go back quickly."

At this time, several brocade guards hurriedly came and whispered to Chang Yu.

Everyone's eyebrows were furrowed, Jiaocheng was at the forefront and the front line of the thief army, and any movement was a rumor for them.

"What?" Chang Yu also jumped in his heart.

"The thief army raided Qi County in the east and killed three hundred of my soldiers!" Jin Yiwei said in a low voice.

Exercise! Chang Yu was stunned suddenly, and he said that he had done it in two days! There should be a cat greasy in this.

Suddenly, Chang Yu had a flash in his heart, as if he had caught something, and suddenly laughed, and everyone was inexplicable.

"What do they want, real hammer, here!"

Saying that, he said to Cai Maode: "Lord Cai, you are ready, go to Jiaocheng immediately" Without waiting for Cai Maode to react, he hugged his fists towards Zhu Xianxuan and others: "Everyone, perform your duties, do your part, and be ready to meet the arrival of the storm."

Everyone turned pale and knew the meaning of his words, and the time to come was finally coming.

After Chang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly glanced at Zhu Zhi'e next to him, so he smiled, "Will the county lord take you to the front line to play?" ”

cough cough cough, Zhu Zhi'e suddenly lowered her head and blushed, this thing is really shameless, ...... in front of so many people.

Chang Yu smiled and quickly slipped away, because he felt a pair of sharp arrow-like eyes stabbing at him, Zhu Xianxuan was jealous! Hahaha!

On the tower of the Great South Gate, Chang Yu and Ying Shisheng and other high-level generals discussed for more than half an hour, and then left Xiacheng with a few retinues on horseback.

At this time, Cai Maode's carriage had just arrived at the gate of the city, and he was thin and weak, and he could not bear the pain of riding a horse, so he could only take the carriage.

Chang Yu asked him to go to the front line in a word, although he was puzzled, but he also responded, in addition to the fact that Chang Yu is now the leader of Taiyuan City and can command the whole city, he is also a very responsible governor, and it is not the first time to go to the front line, so he immediately gave his subordinates some explanations, went home and packed up the carriage and went out of the city.
