Chapter 44: Secrets of the Past (2)

The real master of Chen Cang has never been the high-ranking clan, nor the powerful Wei Kai, but the commoners who buried their bodies deep in the loess, those ragged and life-like Qianfu.

Whether it is slashing with a sword or jumping up and down, it is no more useful than the cracked, ugly and wrinkled hands of ordinary people.

Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn.

The small seeds, planted with the care of the people in the spring, glow with great magic during the harvest season. The people who have served the land all their lives eventually bury themselves in the loess, which is their agreement with nature and looking forward to a good harvest.

The devastated Chen Cang, in just one month, began to glow with new vitality in the hands of the people who were like cattle and horses in the eyes of those clans.

The overgrown land, the fields stacked with rocks, under the work of the people day and night, all planted the seeds of hope, and the call for no taxes for three years made the people who had served the land all their lives burst out with infinite strength, which surprised Wei Kai.

The wind on the summer night is a little hot, but it is also very comfortable, and it seems to welcome those who are working hard in the fields.

"Madam, I heard from the Hua guard that the general has locked himself in the study for an afternoon." In the backyard, a maid cautiously bowed back to Aoi, who was sitting next to the desk.

Aoi raised her eyes and glanced at the maid and said, "Got it, let the kitchen prepare some food." I'll send it over later."

"Yes, ma'am", and then the maid saluted and took off, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at the other side of the desk, and her little face revealed a hint of nervousness.

"Sister, don't be afraid, the general is a good person", Aoi took Min's hand, who was fidgeting next to the desk, and said soothingly.

After Wei Kai settled in Chencang County, he was supposed to live in Chencang County. But as a result of Chen's self-immolation, most of the government offices were burned down. Aoi or Youmin as a family member, after the government office was newly built, moved from the military camp outside the city to live in the city.

Unlike living in the army, people from the Min or Wu clans can move around the camp at will and see each other at any time. Moving from outside the city to the county government meant that some rules had to be followed, which made it difficult for the people of the Wu tribe, who had always been unrestrained, to adapt, especially in the backyard and not being able to see the clansmen all the time.

At the same time, what worries the people of the Wu clan is whether Wei Kai, who has accepted the power of the old clan, has greatly expanded the land resources under his control, and his power has increased greatly.

With the deployment of the Chinese army, a rumor that the people of the Wu clan were also going to be split up circulated in the community, which made the people of the Wu clan panic.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Although Wei Kai was not arrogant and domineering, Wei Kai's current power also made the Wu clan dare not easily ask in person, so he wanted to probe Wei Kai's mind through Min.

It's a pity that although Min settled in the government office as a family member, it was difficult to see Wei Kai, so he had to come to Kui for help.

In the study, Wei Kai locked himself in the study since he received the information from the sergeant who was on surveillance, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Flipping through all kinds of materials and staring at the map on the wall, Wei Kai kept planning how to eliminate this malignant tumor that was parasitic on the civilians of Chen Cang.

Staying quietly in the room, and then constantly forcing himself to think of countermeasures is Wei Kai's means of stimulating his wisdom in the face of adversity.

Although Chen Cang seemed to be slowly getting better on the surface, Wei Kai understood that Chen Cang was actually in a crisis that he had never had before, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

This is the reason why the sturdy crab shell is reborn and becomes more fragile as it becomes harder.

Now the reform has just begun, and the people have just stabilized. Thanks to the seized family property, Chen Cang was able to slowly recover his life.

If there is a slight mistake now, all the efforts will be completely in vain, not to mention that it is likely to suffer from the counterattack of the old clan, which is tantamount to a catastrophe for the budding Chen Cang.

Just when Wei Kai was anxious, he suddenly smelled the smell of sweet rice porridge, and then saw Aoi enter the study with steaming food.

"Madam, just let the subordinates do these things", Wei Kai quickly got up and took the food box and said.

For Kui, Wei Kai had an indescribable feeling in his heart at the beginning. Originally, when he was in exile in various countries, Wei Kai himself could not be protected, but later he still brought Kui in a daze.

Maybe there is a providence in the dark, Aoi's gentleness, confidantness and beauty make Wei Kai, who is completely deep in revenge, actually begin to feel at home.

No matter where Wei Kai is or how long he has been away, he knows that there is someone waiting for him at home. The value of a person may be reflected from being needed by others.

"Wei Lang, is the situation serious now?" , Aoi opened the food box, gently served Wei Kai's food, and then said.

"It's okay, it's okay....... Madam, don't worry about ......, if it's okay, go down first", Wei Kai greedily ate the rice porridge brought by Aoi, and replied without raising his head.

Wei Kai finished eating the rice porridge, looked up at Aoi, who was still beside him with a tangled face, and said slowly, "Madam, is there something wrong?" ”。

Aoi on the side watched Wei Kai gobble up rice porridge, and understood that Wei Kai must have been troubled by trouble, so he forgot to eat.

You must know that Wei Kai is a nobleman of Wei State, and he has a strict emphasis on the etiquette of food, so he hesitates about what Min asked, for fear of adding trouble to Wei Kai.

"Husband, yes....... I have heard that the army is now being reorganized and stationed everywhere, and I don't know ...... the Witches."

Looking at Aoi's timid eyes and twisting and pinching appearance, Wei Kai not only did not feel magical because of Aoi's meddling in the affairs of the army, but felt very cute, so after listening to what Aoi said, he pretended to be contemplative and did not speak.

Aoi on the side looked at Wei Kai, who was silent, and suddenly felt anxious, and hurriedly cried and said, "Husband, Aoi knows that he is wrong."

Looking at Aoi who was about to cry in a hurry, Wei Xingxing felt even more interesting. After a long time, Wei Kai suddenly stood up, hugged Aoi, who was about to cry, and whispered in Aoi's ear: "Unless you ......." When Aoi in his arms heard this, he immediately turned blushing, and hit Wei Kai's chest with both hands desperately a few times.

Looking at the shy Aoi in her arms, remembering what she just said, it was probably because of Min, Wei thought happily. After all, Kwai has always been the appearance of a virtuous wife, and she has never asked Wei Kai about her official affairs privately.

However, as for the Wu clan's worries, Wei Kai could only say that this was groundless.

Perhaps due to the long period of wandering and the ruthless capture of slave hunters, the Wu gradually began to distrust others and became extremely insecure.

Wei Kai didn't plan for them all the time, and when he approached to help them, he only sighed at their misery and solved his doubts about the mystery of the Wei clan in Yucheng.

However, because of this, he was also able to appreciate Aoi's other style, Wei Kai felt that it was very cost-effective, and his irritable and tired heart suddenly began to feel comfortable.

Looking at the departing Kwai and recalling the affairs of the Wu Clan, Wei Kai began to reflect deeply on his style of acting.

All along, perhaps because he never trusted others, Wei Kai was self-determined in everything he did, and he never consulted with others.

Although later facts proved Wei Kai's foresight, his maverick personality was indeed not suitable for leading the group. After all, I thought you could understand and you understand to accomplish what I wanted to do, and those are often two different issues.

"Someone is ......coming", Wei Kai thought for a long time, and was ready to gather the generals to discuss how to solve this stubborn enemy's strategy.

After all, brainstorming, everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, this action was not only about whether Wei Kai had a firm foothold in Chencang, but also about the lives and future of all the soldiers. Before gathering strength to deliver a powerful blow, it is also necessary to distinguish between friend and foe and divide into factions.

Subsequently, the generals of the army under his command and the officials in the official office were ordered to come to Wei Kai's study to discuss matters.

Looking at the subordinates who were divided into two columns below, Wei Kai felt for the first time that he was also full of talents. However, compared to the large number of military generals, Wenchen is very few.

But now Chen Cang still has capable people who can escape the oppression of the clan and survive, serving Wei Kai, Wei Kai should feel lucky.

After all, the Qin State did lack talents to govern internal affairs, otherwise the famous ministers who had a huge influence on the Qin State, such as Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, etc., would not be the people of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the foundation of the country. Now that I have just regained my life, I have discovered a force of slave traders who have been lurking here for a long time in my Pingnan area.

Human trafficking, this is a loss of the foundation of my Great Qin. How can we, the people of Great Qin, tolerate it? But now that Chen Cang is also in a critical situation, please say anything you have suggestions", Wei Kai glanced at the people below and said bluntly.

Looking at Wei Kai's indignant appearance, the current officials of Chen Cang who were present were also very angry in their hearts. Most of them have experienced the chaos of the world, or they are from civilian backgrounds, and they are well aware of the suffering of the people below, and understand the horror of human trade. People are often worse off than dead, their wives are separated, and they are like animals at their disposal.

What's even more hateful is that Chen Cang has finally experienced a new life, and the people and officials are working hard for a better tomorrow, forgetting to sleep and eat. Now that there is the power to subvert their hard work and threaten them all the time, how can this be endured?

But now Chen Cang really can't withstand a big battle, and the people can't afford to fight, and they can't afford to drag it out, so although everyone in the hall is angry, they don't speak, and look straight at Wei Kai.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Wei Kai smiled, stood up and walked to the wall where the map of Chencang was hung, pointed to the marker on it and said, "Everyone, this is where the county seat of Chencang is located. And this is the place where the slave-hunting forces were discovered in Pingnan."

With Wei Kai's comparison, the officials present also saw a more detailed map of Chencang County for the first time. After all, the current march war is still in the primitive stage of relying on manpower to conduct field investigations and disseminate information, and the map labels are often quite different from the facts, and they are relatively simple.

"The general's small map includes all of my Chen Cang. In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and it is the general who is talking about it. Wang Bi admired and admired", Wang Bi, who was dressed in an ordinary robe, looked at Wei Kai's detailed map, and two rays of light suddenly shot out of his cloudy eyes, and his heart was greatly shocked.

Unlike the others who were only amazed at the detailed map in Wei Kaifang's room, Wang Bi also knew the soldiers, and understood how much the detailed map helped the decision of the army.

A small picture has made the current wars of various countries develop in a more refined direction. All planning and calculations have a reference basis, not a blind state.

One step ahead, how important it is to take the lead in the war, to be able to use fewer troops to complete the original task, so as to rationally deploy troops to ensure the victory of one's own side.

"Lord Sikong said with a smile", looking at the surprise on everyone's faces, Wei Kai was not surprised, you must know this small map, Wei Kai understands how much energy he has put into it to complete. So he continued:

"Although Pingnan is far away from my Chencang County, if the slave traders are allowed to occupy Pingnan, they will put our people in Pingnan in dire straits, and I am afraid that after our death, we will not be able to face the loyal soul of the Qin State who died on the bank of the Chushui River during the Mu Gong period.

Second, once they occupy Pingnan, they can infiltrate Dongcang in the east and Yuxian in the west, so as to slowly surround our Chencang County.

At that time, we will be passive, not only will we lose the support of the people, but we will also be trapped and die in the county seat, and we can only be beaten in vain, but there is nothing we can do."

Although this force of slave traders is no threat to Chen Cang, it will become a problem for henchmen if it is left unchecked for a long time. This battle should be fought sooner rather than later, and it can only be fought quickly and not slowly.

After listening to what Wei Kai said, he understood that Wei Kai had made up his mind to prepare to exterminate this force, so as to completely pacify and recover the Pingnan region, so he promised again and again.

Wang Bi on the side looked at the people who were about to go back to shrink their troops and prepare money and food, and said to Wei Kai: "General, but there is a good plan?" ”

Wei Kai smiled and did not speak. Wang Bi smiled and continued: "On the expedition to Pingnan, the general should not forget the role of the Broken Spine Dog. Have you ever heard of soldiers, treacherous. ”

After listening to what Wang Bi said, Wei Kai was stunned at first, looked at Wang Bi with a smile on his face, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Lord Si Kou, you are really a person who knows right from wrong."

The Chen Cang clan is a dog with a broken backbone, and looking at his despicable and shameless reputation is considered solid, Wei Kai thought in his heart.
