Chapter 523. From thrift to luxury, from luxury to simplicity difficult

It is really a complete chaotic withdrawal, on the edge of the Yangtze River, the future strength of the three kingdoms gathered together, and when the wonderful and treacherous fight in the white fog of the river was formed, the two cool and dry Saibei were also full of gunsmoke, and the flames of war were flying.

It's really torture to be an enemy of Wang Hou!

The people are fish intestine swords, he is a fish intestine bomb, the rotten fish intestines emit that unbearable stench, twenty giant return cannons were thrown for three days and three nights, the thick viscous green liquid stained the entire city wall in the west, and the strong smell of fish and decay was even smelled for more than ten miles.

Don't think that just the stink is over, Wang Hou has seen the news before crossing, in a public toilet in South Korea, a little girl went to the toilet, but fainted on the spot, and never woke up.

In the past few days, how many people have died in the Gongsun family's army, Liao Zhenjun doesn't know, but they have only seen the scene of suddenly falling from the city wall a few meters high in a daze holding their throats.

However, this strong smell also caused trouble to the Liao Zhen Army itself, on the third day, the strong smell directly defeated the defenders of the city, seeing that the city wall was completely empty, the border of the Tatar brigade could not hold back the excitement, and actually took the initiative to carry the ladder to launch a charge, however, just rushed to the root of the city wall more than 20 meters, the front leader of the Tatar warriors had a miserable face, foaming at the mouth and staring at the legs and fell to the ground.

The people in the back also began to vomit wildly, while dragging their own warriors and fleeing.

The thick stink bomb formed a trench between the two armies, and the Gongsun family couldn't defend it, and Wang Hou couldn't supply it.

But after all, it was the Liaozhen soldiers who took advantage, after all, they were squatting outside the city, and they could run when they encountered the smell, and the Gongsun family was trapped in the city after all, and they couldn't run if the city couldn't run.

The stench of collapse permeated the whole city, smelling it every day, it was estimated that there was no food to eat, and the morale of the 200,000 Xiangping soldiers and civilians collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

is different from Mr. Cao, although Cao Cao, who is squatting on the edge of Wulin, is full of confidence in victory, in fact, his victory or defeat is still unknown, but Wang Hou's grasp of winning Xiangping City is that he is three fingers pinching the snail and nine out of ten, after all, the soft power and hard power are several times that of Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang is now trapped outside the broken city without reinforcements, and there are no ministers inside, and he can be trapped to death in a winter.

But the more this is the case, the more cautious Wang Hou's attack becomes, and now he has besieged the city for eight days, except for the Yan people who took the initiative to launch an attack, he actually did not organize any siege.

…………

Like many old classmates and friends in later generations, you think that the relationship between the two of you is very good, and you don't say a word when people come to ask you to borrow money, but if you have something urgent and urgent, you can't find anyone.

Wang Hou also always thought that he had a very close relationship with Mr. Cao, but he had just sent out his resignation invitation to Qingzhou, and Cao Cao, who was still sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River, not only did not even delay the retention at all, but also immediately promoted Lu Qian, the Taishou of Donglin, to be the assassin of Qingzhou, and immediately led the army into Qi to take over the Qingzhou regime.

It can be seen that even if he usually smiles, but for him to control Qingzhou, Cao Cao's true thoughts are so jealous!

However, it is also the last implication of their relationship, Qingzhou matter, Cao Cao did not rush to kill, his Qi minister Sima Yi was promoted to Qingzhou Don't drive, replaced Jia Xu's position, in addition to the half of Qingzhou Linhai, Rizhao, Island City, Weihai, these places developed by Wang Hou, Cao Cao divided them into Linhai County in the administrative unit, and it can be regarded as Wang Hou's uncle Zhuge Xuan to recognize this large county guard.

In this way, Wang Hou's influence on Qingzhou is still there, but it is not as direct as the pastor of Qingzhou, this influence is still gradually decreasing, and the tax money and grain in these places in Langya County, Qi State and Taishan County also told him goodbye, Rizhao, Island City, and Weicheng's taxes Zhuge Xuan can still embezzle it for him for two years, and I don't know when to say goodbye.

Now Wang Houzhen has a kind of contracting the mountains and forests by himself, working hard to plant fruit trees, and finally the fruit trees have grown, only to harvest the fruits for two years, and it is time to make money.

Even Jiaogang, Liucheng porcelain, and the fertile Liaodong Plain have to hurry!

If you want to say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this income has decreased, but in terms of spending, Wang Hou is still lavish!

Just like other warlords fighting, they all try their best to reduce expenses, and they can't wait for their soldiers to give a stick to each other, and then let them eat stones and drink the northwest wind to fight the battle, but he, a Liao Zhen soldier? Du Timo is about to catch up with the eldest young master.

Even the more than 30,000 Montenegrin soldiers brought by Zhang Yan are like this, and now the infantry of the Montenegrin Army who used to be cannon fodder is at least one person mixed with a set of chain mail, and the army food is also hard, this is not last year's snow raid, the time to be poor, this year's Wang Hou's policy on the Liaodong Peninsula is still based on pigs, the whole people raise pigs, more than 300 catties of pigs can slaughter more than 400 heads a day, bones and meat mixed stew, regardless of Hu Han, the whole army can mix half a catty of meat, and then the steamed rice is enough, high-level generals and nobles, He also slaughtered a hundred sheep a day, at least two eggs, and Wang Hou's own cronies guaranteed one egg a day.

This point is not worth mentioning in later generations, but in this era, it is really a luxury that can only be eaten by the landlord's family, and the siege has only been a few days, and the lean spring cover and the people who came out of the mountains have actually gained a few pounds, and their faces are round.

However, despite the astronomical amount of military supplies spent every day, Wang Hou had no intention of reducing the military supply in the slightest.

First, the money saved in the past few years is enough for him to spend for a long time, and secondly, he and the Chinese dynasties have reduced food and withdrawn from pleasure at every turn, while advocating frugality, while throwing a lot of silver into the cellar to grow mold, the rope that wears copper coins is rotten, and the good cloth is rotten in the treasury.

Now he has spent all the money and silk, to those farmers or landlords who raise pigs, chickens and sheep, they have made a fortune to expand production, and at the same time hurriedly write to the poor relatives in the Guannei, there is a lot of money in this place, many people are ruined, come quickly! As soon as the flow of population increases, the empty Liaodong Plain will be propped up, and there will be more people arriving land, paying more taxes, and doing more business, and the money spent will be recovered!

And let the sergeants eat well, especially these Hu soldiers eat well, the benefits are more than that!

Don't talk about it, let's just say that these soldiers are nomadic tribes, they seem to eat a lot of meat, but they also have to look at the face of the mountain god grandfather to eat, this time they hit the deer, eat a full meal, and catch a rabbit tomorrow, and they can only eat according to the amount of a rabbit, and if they get nothing, then they have to be hungry, and there is a high probability that at least half of the time in a month will be nothing.

But in Wang Hou's place, they eat big steamed buns and rice casually, and the meat is still stewed with salt and condiments, which is much stronger than the fishy game they ate in the old days.

Just like the later "Metamorphosis", the children in the city go to the countryside to endure hardships for three months to get rid of their bad problems and become better people, but the rural children go to the city to enjoy happiness for three months, and then go back to the countryside to endure hardships, they will not be able to adapt to it no matter what.

This had two consequences: the gang became greedy and no longer satisfied with safaris, and either joined the army or turned into robbers and robbers.

Joining the army, Wang Hou welcomed, eat well, they can be like the first batch of Xiongnu cavalry during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, loyalty, bravery, and robbery, sorry, the people of the Yan are now far away from the Liaodong Plain, they live in the later Jilin Zuo, Goguryeo, and the Korean Peninsula, in terms of bad luck, the first unlucky is not he Wang Hou!

The weather is getting colder, the war is not so urgent, more than 30 generals of the Liaozhen Army, plus loyal ministers and these allies from the outside world, gathered together to barbecue and drink to contact feelings, looking at Wang Hou, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, frowning sadly at a crispy roasted sheep's head melon seeds, and thought that he was worried about the war, and he didn't know that he had been calculated clearly.

"General Zhenbei, you don't have to worry, this stench will dissipate in a few days! The minister personally supervised the army to break down the city wall, captured the grandson and Xiao'er for you, and presented it to your tent! ”

Originally, he was still depressed about Qingzhou affairs, and seeing that the big fat sheep in Quangai actually jumped up to persuade himself, Wang Hou's mood suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and he held the wine glass with deep meaning.

"That's it, I'm tired of General Quangai!"

Get! The cannon fodder of the siege took the initiative!
