When night fell, Nanzheng City, which had just experienced the fire of war, seemed a little noisy, and the residents of the city spontaneously organized themselves to celebrate this great victory.

Hanzhong Taishou Mansion, in the lobby.

Dozens of copper plate lamps were lit, but the empty lobby still looked a little dim. Under the flickering candlelight, five figures knelt silently, all silent.

After a long time, Nan Ying, who was sitting in the middle of the Taishou position, finally spoke: "Four, why don't you speak?" ”

Su Gu, who was on the left, hurriedly glanced at Wang Lei.

Only then did Wang Lei arch his hand and said: "Your Excellency, although the lower officials and others are guilty of meritorious service this time, they still lose their soldiers and generals, and even put adults in danger. The lower officials and others, alas, the lower officials and others are worried in their hearts, and they are waiting for the adults to reprimand and punish them, how dare they open their mouths in vain! ”

Cheng Yu, the first on the right, smiled and said, "Lord Wang's words are wrong! ”

He bowed to Nan Ying and said: "Lord Rong, this Nan Zheng great victory has swept away the Heavenly Master Dao that has been a disaster for many days in one fell swoop, and has removed a big confidant for His Majesty today." The subordinates believe that Su Taishou, Wang Juncheng and Gongqi brothers should be the first to take credit! ”

The three people in the seat changed color together and blurted out: "How dare you do this!" ”

Nan Ying waved his hand, still looking at Cheng Yu, and said tentatively: "So, what should I do in my opinion?" ”

Cheng Yu said confidently: "Please Su Taishou and Wang Juncheng immediately go directly to the court, explain the causes and consequences of this rebellion, and ask the court for the righteous act of Brother Gongqi to kill his relatives!" ”

He paused slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course, the merits of the two adults who strategized and commanded Ruo Deciduous also have to be greatly explained!" ”

Su Gu and Wang Lei glanced at each other, and their hearts were pounding together, Su Gu couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and pretended to be modest and said: "The lower officials and others are all because of the superior envoy's command, where is there any credit?" Even if you are sparse, you must first praise the ......... of the Envoy"

"Nonsense!" Nanying snorted.

Su Gu was frightened, and suddenly remembered that the identity of the envoy was mysterious, and he must still have a great mission, how could he be easily exposed to the official documents.

He knelt down in the hall with a rolling belt, sweating like rain and said: "The lower official should die, it is the lower official's gaffe!" ”

Nan Ying said in a low tone: "This merit can be regarded as the reward of the envoy to you. But one last reminder, keep your mouth shut! ”

Su Gu secretly wiped a cold sweat, and in a stack of claims of "yes", he retreated.

Cheng Yu smiled and took out a silk book, and said: "Rest assured, the subordinates are afraid that the two adults will lose their words, and they have already written on their behalf, just need the two adults to copy and use the seal!" ”

Wang Ti took it with a wry smile and said, "Thank you for your trouble!" ”

Nan Ying thought for a while, and said, "If the chaos of the master is decided today, how to deal with the follow-up matters?" Two adults still have to think about it! ”

Seeing Su Gu's eyes asking for help, Wang Ti smiled bitterly in his heart, what two of you still have to think about? I'm afraid that the envoy has already made a decision in his heart, just to see if the two of them know each other.

He settled down, pondered in his heart for a moment, and then said: "According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, there are three major things that must be handled quickly. One is to recover the three counties of Weiyang, Baozhong and Chenggu, it is not difficult to recover the two counties of Weiyang and Baozhong, according to the confession of the Heavenly Master Dao Army, these two counties are only 1,000 defenders, only wait for the 12,000 troops in the city to return to the division tomorrow, and they can be forced to surrender without blood! ”

Speaking of this, a look of hesitation flashed in Wang Lei's eyes: "It's just, it's just that this is solid!" ”

He looked at Zhang Lu on the other side and didn't dare to say any more for a while.

Zhang Lu smiled and said: "Please be relieved, Lord Wang, since I have been submitted, how can I not be subservient?" Tomorrow, Chenggu's 4,000 original Heavenly Master soldiers will lay down their weapons and return to their hometown! ”

This decision is naturally what Nan Ying and Cheng Yu meant, the four thousand soldiers are really a group of rabble, and the military spirit is floating, it is not at all useless, and it is better to let it disperse in vain.

Wang Lei was overjoyed and said, "This is very good! ”

He glanced at Nan Ying's face and said frankly: "The lower official still has concerns before, lest he miss the envoy's plan!" ”

Nan Ying waved his hand and said, "It's rare that Lord Wang is thoughtful and thinks about everything for the sake of the basics. But the adults are really worried, okay! This first major matter will be handled by the adults! ”

The big stone in Wang Lei's heart completely fell to the ground, and he said with joy: "Please rest assured that the lower officials will definitely live up to their mission!" ”

His heart was relaxed, and his mouth became smoother: "The second major thing is how to appease the six thousand Heavenly Master Dao troops and the tens of thousands of Heavenly Master Dao believers in the entire territory of Hanzhong!" ”

Nan Ying's eyes lit up and said, "Then what do you think should be?" ”

Wang Lei said with confidence: "Zhang Xiu, as the chief evil, has already been ambushed, and the rest of the ordinary disciples are not worried. As long as the lower officials and others play the Son of Heaven, ask the Son of Heaven to issue a decree of forgiveness, and then allocate land and seeds from the local government to return them to the fields, then their hearts will inevitably be cured. ”

Nan Ying was slightly disappointed: "Is that all?" ”

Wang Ti rolled his eyes and shook his head: "Of course, not only that, I think that the Heavenly Master Dao has been deep in the people of Hanzhong for decades, and he has long been disobedient, even if ordinary people have no intention of rebellion, there must be a small number of lawbreakers who are driven by interests and want to make waves again!" Although the current Heavenly Master Dao is a mess, it is even more of a headache, if the Heavenly Master Dao is completely abolished, this move is only afraid that it will arouse the resentment of the general public, and it will be more susceptible to demagoguery! If it is strictly restricted, due to the limited manpower of the government, I am afraid that it will be useless! If left unchecked, it will last a long time, and it will recur! ”

Nan Ying clapped his hands and praised: "Lord Wang is indeed far-sighted!" That's true! ”

Su Gu was stunned when he heard this, and when he heard Nan Ying's words, and when he looked at Wang Ti again, there was already a trace of jealousy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Wang Lei was flattered, and he was even bolder, and said boldly: "So the lower officials think that the Heavenly Master Dao should not be abolished, should not be restricted, and cannot be indulged!" Instead, we have to find a way to control it in our hands and use it for us! ”

The corners of Nan Ying's mouth smiled, this Wang Lei was not only thoughtful, but also quite knowledgeable, he must have guessed his plan, so he reciprocated.

He still pretended to be puzzled and said, "This idea is certainly good, but Lord Wang will come out?" ”

Wang Lei said proudly: "This matter must be Mr. Zhang Lu!" ”

Nanying pretended to be abrupt and said, "Not bad! Not bad! ”

He nodded slowly and said, "Lord Wang, your future is limitless!" ”

Wang Lei's eyes flashed with a scorching light, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord Envoy, for your praise!" ”

The jealousy in Su Gu's eyes was even stronger.

Nan Ying shouted: "Zhang Lu, I order you to return to the old department of the Heavenly Master Dao and rebuild the Protestant Church!" Make sure you keep it safe! ”

Zhang Lu's face flashed with indescribable excitement and joy, and he said loudly: "My subordinates are ordered!" ”

He got up and looked at Wang Lei and Su Gu, and bowed his hand and said, "Two adults, you still have to help each other!" ”

Wang Lei nodded, the words were said by himself, how could he not do his best.

Su Gu received Zhang Lu's salute, and his heart, which was originally slightly lost, was a little proud, and he also smiled: "This is an unshirkable thing!" The big sacrificial wine, ah no, please rest assured Zhang Shijun! ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Master Zhang needs to give this Protestant a good name!" ”

Zhang Lu thought for a while and said, "Let's call it the Five Bucket Rice Sect!" ”

Nan Ying was stunned: "It's still called the Five Bucket Rice Sect?" ”

Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "The Five Bucket Rice Sect is just the joke of the people on the Heavenly Master Dao in the past, because 'from the recipient, out of the five buckets of rice', I think that although the doctrine must be perfected, it is still necessary to make the majority of the sect feel the continuation of the old and the new, so that they can be constrained by it with peace of mind." ”

Nan Ying nodded slightly, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Then you Zhang Shijun still have to enter the sect's five buckets of rice?" ”

Zhang Lu's face turned red and said, "Definitely! In the next way, I want to do the opposite, all those who are members of the Five Bucket Rice Sect will be funded by the Sect to make them return to their hearts! ”

Everyone was stunned, and Nanying gasped and said, "Good guy! Even if a household gives five buckets of rice, it will cost tens of thousands of stones, where do you get so much grain? ”

Zhang Lu's old face turned even redder: "Of course, I ask the lord and the Taishou and the county lord to do it on their behalf!" ”

Nanying was angry: "You! You're going to do something! ”

Su Gu and Wang Lei also said with embarrassed faces: "Although there are more than 100,000 stones of grain in the treasury, most of them are grain for taxes, how can they be misappropriated privately?" The surplus food is also for emergency use, this, this! ”

Someone outside the door suddenly laughed loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is easy to hear!" ”

Nanying stood up overjoyed: "It's Wenhe who has arrived!" "Take the opportunity to rub my legs, which are sore, and numb from kneeling for too long.

Outside the door, Jia Xu stepped in proudly, and eight strong Eagle's Nest warriors behind him followed with great difficulty carrying four large boxes.

Jia Xu stood on top of the lobby, bowed to Su Gu and Wang Leiwei, and said, "I, Jia Xu, have seen two adults!" ”

Su Gu hurriedly returned the salute, but Wang Ti blurted out: "Isn't it Wuwei Jia Wen and Hu?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The cheap name is insulting, this must be Lord Juncheng?" ”

Wang Lei said sincerely: "I have heard Mr. for a long time, and they all say that Mr. is a wise man in the world. ”

Nan Ying saw them chattering and polite, and said impatiently: "Gossip and don't mention, Wenhe, what is your good plan?" ”

Jia Xu raised his hand and opened a large box, only to see that the golden light was sheng, and the room was bright.

He said lightly: "The lord is generous, I brought four large boxes this time, with a total of 4,000 gold, for the lord to collect grain and people!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Nanying was surprised: "What kind of grain and people?" ”

Jia Xu said casually: "This harvest of grain, of course, we ask Taishou and Lord Juncheng to come forward and help us buy grain from the people!" ”

He ignored the stunned Nan Ying, and bowed his hand to Su Gu and the others: "Two adults, now the price of one gold is more than 13,000 yuan, and the price of fine rice has also risen to about 500 yuan and one stone, I implore the two adults to buy 50,000 stone of grain from Hanzhong merchants." ”

Wang Lei calculated silently in his heart, and said in surprise: "This matter is not difficult, but Mr. Wenhe, 50,000 stone of grain only costs 2,000 gold, and Mr. has 2,000 gold is ........"

Jia Xu looked up to the sky and smiled: "Of course, the two thousand gold is to accept people!" ”

Wang Ti was stunned for a moment before he said, "May I ask who Mr. wants to accept?" Why is it worth 2,000 gold? ”

Jia Xu stopped laughing, stared at Wang Lei and said, "What I received is the 1,253 surviving 3,000 city guards, as well as their thousands of families in Nanzheng City. ”

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "What! ”

Wang Lei looked at Nan Ying, who was also at a loss, and said in disbelief: "Why doesn't even the envoy know about this matter?" ”

Before Nanying could speak, Jia Xu had already preemptively said: "Not bad! Forgive me, my lord, this matter was decided by me alone! As he spoke, he glanced at Nanying.

Nan Ying scolded in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I have always obeyed my husband's decision, but what is the reason? ”

He was puzzled for a while, what happened to Jia Xu? It's not at this time to pull the team, and there are even thousands of people in this area, and even Zhang Lu's 4,000 men and horses have been abandoned, why did they just start the mind of the guards of Nanzhengcheng?

Jia Xu was surprised: "Lord, in today's battle, these city guards can be said to have a deep understanding of the secret of my eagle's nest, you won't let them get out of our control!" ”

Everyone said "ah" in unison and understood.

Jia Xu suddenly sneered and said: "I'm not afraid to let you know, my lord has always been lenient, otherwise, if you want to keep the secret according to my Jia's plan, the best way is to ......"

As he spoke, he waved his palm downward.

"Tell me the truth!" The cold meaning in his words made everyone tremble, "I am here at this moment, I am secretly arranging, ordering three thousand eagle nest warriors to surround all the city guards on all sides, once things get out of control, hum!" ”

Su Gu and Wang Ti shook violently, cold sweat trickled down their foreheads, and they exclaimed together: "No! Never! ”

Su Gu is mediocre on weekdays, but at this time, he was shocked, knowing that he had been involved in royal secrets, and if he mishandled it, he was afraid that a catastrophe would come immediately, and his heart would be blessed.

He walked quickly to the hall, bowed down with a "plop" and said, "My lord, on behalf of the thousands of soldiers and civilians, I beg your lord to take them in!" However, please remember that God has the virtue of a good life, and be kind to them! ”

Nanying was surprised for a while, he only said that Su Gu was a faint official, and he was in the way, and he had already sought an opportunity to get rid of it, but he was so aware of it at this time, and he was also sympathetic to his subordinates, so it seemed that he should change his original intention for this person, and he might as well keep him for another time.

He said slowly: "Okay! This envoy will never fail to live up to Su Taishou's trust! ”

Wang Lei hurriedly said: "But Lord Taishou, how can these thousands of soldiers and civilians be easily removed from the register?" Once the above is investigated, how is it good! ”

Su Gu glared and said, "Brother Xian is nonsense!" In today's battle, there are only 3,000 defenders in the city, how can they resist tens of thousands of Heavenly Division bandits? You and I mobilized all the residents of the city to go to the city to assist in the defense, and the bloody battle was fierce, thanks to the power of His Majesty today, he was lucky enough to kill the bandit Zhang Xiu, and then all the enemy troops were annihilated under the city! You say, what will happen to the deaths and injuries of the soldiers and civilians in the city in such a vicious battle? ”

Wang Ti's mouth was wide open, unable to speak.

Nan Ying and Jia Xu and the others exchanged a look of surprise and appreciation, it seems that they really underestimate this Su Taishou, who can hold such an important position, and indeed has the extraordinary ability to steal beams and change pillars.

Su Gu said to himself: "You and I will upload the list of thousands of martyrs and civilians with the chapter tomorrow, and the matter will be over!" What is the objection of Lord Guncheng? ”

Wang Ti saw Nanying's sharp eyes, his body trembled, and he said dejectedly: "The proposal of the Lord Taishou is very appropriate, and the subordinate officials obey the order!" ”

Su Gu suddenly remembered something again, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the envoy, in addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers, there are hundreds of wounded soldiers, how to deal with them?" ”

Seeing that Jia Xu opened his mouth to answer, Nan Ying's heart jumped, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The wounded soldier is the real warrior, how can the envoy not want it?" Rest assured, even if they fall into an incurable disability, they will be supported by the Eagle's Nest for the rest of their lives! ”

Su Gu was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and even Wang Ti was in good spirits, and his eyes showed joy and gratitude.

Only Jia Xu sighed slightly in his heart, this lord is good at everything, but he is soft-hearted.

Cheng Yu suddenly said: "The three major things that Lord Juncheng said before, I have already said two things just now, I don't know what the last one is?" ”

Wang Ti stayed for a while, looked at the four shining boxes of gold, and a trace of indescribable bitterness appeared on his lips: "I originally wanted to discuss the consolation of the nearly two thousand casualties, but at this moment, what else can I say?" ”

PS: No matter what, Bai Xue will stick to it, now, Bai Xue not only asks for the collection and recommendation of his brothers, but also asks for support, please stand up, just because, I don't believe that a work full of hard work will serve the streets.
