The Xu family did not directly attack the cottage of the Luo Daoren, Xu Mujiang and Xu Muhe ordered to count the grain and grass stored in the other bandits' cottages first.

The two old men were serious (or rather, still a little afraid of the Luo Dao people), hoping to weaken the strength of the Luo Dao people through the siege.

On the morning of the seventh day of the first month of November, Xu Mujiang held a brief meeting in Liu Gao's private residence, informing all the castle owners of the Xu family who had participated in the battle the amount of grain and grass captured in the previous battle.

Because the progress was smoother than the most daring idea before, so far, except for the cottage of the Luo Dao people, all the other villages in Fulai Mountain have fallen into the hands of the Xu family. Therefore, in terms of absolute quantity, the captured grain was enough for Xu Jiajun to eat openly for half a year.

However, at the same time, they captured a large number of bandits and their families (as well as the Yanshun Wang Ying Division, who directly surrendered as a whole), and the total number of men, women, and children was as many as seven or eight thousand, which was not much more than the number of troops sent by the Xu family army this time.

Unless the Xu family wants to kill all these thousands of people, a minimum food supply must be available, and it must be maintained until the next harvest.

In this way, the actual profit they actually make on the grain is very small, and may even be a loss.

Xu Mujiang was worried about this, the previous battle victory did not improve the Xu family's ability to continue fighting, if they kept those prisoners, then next, the Xu family army still has 3 to 4 days to solve the Xu Daoren's cottage, and then, regardless of the victory or defeat, they must withdraw their troops and return to their respective homes.

"Master, those newly captured bandits can only give one bowl of porridge a day." Wang Yong, the former head of the family, suggested: "This can save some food." ”

"I wasn't going to give them dry food!" Xu Mujiang replied angrily: "But it's going to snow soon, there is no oil and water in the stomach, and I can't hold it at all, if I don't break the cottage of the Luo Dao people, they can't go out to hunt and dig wild vegetables, so it's better to kill them now!" ”

"Brother-in-law, it's better to kill it."

One of the younger brothers of the eldest concubine of the Xu family, the 5th Tunbao advocate suggested lightly: "Divide the women first, send people home, and then kill the old and weak, and the remaining young and strong who can help us fight, can survive the ...... with a little less food." ”

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Xu Mujiang interrupted him with a roar: "Who allowed you to call me brother-in-law!" ”

From the perspective of feudal ethics, a concubine is not a wife, and the relatives of the concubine are not relatives of the husband's family, and the relatives of the concubine and the concubine are more like servants in a sense to the husband's family.

The Xu family is because there are too few adult men, so they have to reuse these "outsiders" who are somewhat related, but people like Zhang Jian and Zhang Qiang are indeed not qualified to call Xu Mujiang his brother-in-law.

At least not in public, otherwise it will be clear that he will be the enemy of Xu Shisong.

"Listen to your bad idea! Divide the women, kill the old and weak, and leave the young and strong? You think that the Luo Dao people have too few men, and you want to send him some soldiers, right!? ”

Zhang Jian was very afraid of Xu Mujiang, and was reprimanded by him, and immediately cowered and did not dare to speak.

Xu Mujiang wanted to scold again, but Xu Muhe had to persuade: "Brother, let's talk about the current war first." ”

The head of the family let Zhang Jian go, but when he came, he ordered fiercely: "After this battle, go back to get the family law!" ”

In fact, he is protecting Zhang Jian and Zhang Qiang, unlike Xu Muhe's kind of wife who remarries after the death of his wife, the sister of these two bastards who don't know the severity is indeed just a concubine, and calling her brother-in-law indiscriminately will definitely cause the hostility of Xu Shisong and his mother, and in this kind of dispute, Xu Mujiang can only stand on the side of his real wife and children, and not transfer to his own preferences.

Xu Mujiang took two breaths, let go of Zhang Jian's fool for the time being, and asked Xu Muhe instead: "What does the second brother think of the current war?" ”

"I think, don't worry about the grain and grass for now, after all, now that we have won most of the games, just continue to fight, if we really can't take the Na Luo Dao people, it's not too late for us to think about the problem of food."

Xu Mujiang nodded, this makes sense.

The situation in Fulai Mountain is similar to that of the Xu family, there are the most old bandits and new bandits in the Luodao people's cottage, and naturally there is also the largest warehouse on the mountain.

If you can successfully conquer this cottage as before, you will definitely be able to grab a lot of food in it, and it is better to calculate the surplus or lose money at that time.

"So what's next?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the long room and the third room all looked at Xu Shisong, and the people in the second room all looked at Xu Shiyang.

These two boys are the most active in this expedition, and they have also contributed the most so far. Xu Shisong surrendered Yanshun Wang Ying, and Xu Shiyang defeated Liu Gao's main force and conquered his cottage overnight.

In the eyes of the castle owners, when it comes to how to fight specific battles, these two are experts.

However, like the people in the second room, Xu Shisong himself was also looking at Xu Shiyang.

Although the eldest son of the Xu family's eldest son was irritable, he was not without self-knowledge, when the bandits appeared in front of him yesterday, his soldiers could not be assembled at all, if Yanshun Wang Ying did not surrender, he would not have lasted long at all.

What did the two bandit leaders say to him that he has admired his name for a long time, Xu Shisong doesn't believe it at all, what name does he have to publicize to the outside world and make people look up to him for a long time? Just because he is the eldest son of the Xu family? If this identity really works like this, where does Fulaishan have the courage to extort grain and cotton clothes from the entire Xu family every year?

However, he, the third brother who has just been in Wubao for a year, may really have a reputation for bluffing.

After all, he really killed the Tartars, and yesterday he quickly defeated Liu Gao's sneak attack.

The reason why Yanshun Wang Ying wanted to surrender could only be because they were afraid of Xu Shiyang.

Xu Shiyang waited for a while, and found that Xu Shisong really didn't mean to speak first, so he had to cough lightly and take the lead in saying:

"Actually, the matter is very simple, didn't Yanshun Wang Ying say that it was lowered? They can't just say a word, and the family will give them the castle master, and they will be on an equal footing with us. I'm not convinced. ”

"They have descended, it can only be said that they spared their lives, and if they want to keep the property population, they should at least show it, right?"

"What does the third brother mean, let the two of them be pioneers?" Xu Shisong's eyes lit up and asked excitedly.

"Yes, I think the eldest brother has thought of that too." Xu Shiyang quietly complimented him, and then continued: "Those new bandits have no sins before, so let them be spared." But the old bandits under Yanshun Wang Ying can't just be counted. ”

"What if those old bandits take the opportunity to vote for the Luo Dao people again?" Xu Shibai couldn't get used to seeing the two sisters-in-law acting brothers, friends and brothers, so he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Isn't this an increase in troops for the Naluo Dao people?" ”

"Divide all the old bandits into four teams, and then divide each team into squads of 10 people, let them take turns to attack the city, one person surrenders to kill the remaining 9 people in the squad, 1 squad surrenders to kill all the remaining squads of the brigade, and one team surrenders and cuts down the remaining old bandits."

Xu Shiyang said with a smile:

"If they fall, our family will save some food."
