Beginning on the third day, the city patrol gradually relaxed, reducing from four to two, and posted notices in the city telling the people that they were free to move around the city, but they were not allowed to leave the city.

Although Li Yue does not speak Chinese much, and there are various accents that he does not understand, everything to be written is all in Central Plains characters, and it is impossible for those who are reading and literate to not understand the slogans written by Yang Congyi himself.

A day later, local people began to appear on the streets, but the number was still small, and only a few shops were open in the city.

Yang Congyi strictly ordered that ordinary people should not be harassed, although they are Li Yue people now, who can say that they will not be Great Song Dynasty people in the future?

In the face of the people who were still cautious and did not dare to go out, Yang Congyi decided to open a warehouse and release grain, five catties per person.

After the notice was posted, the Xuanwei army placed all the 500 quintals of grain at the entrance of the government office, making a sufficient gesture, and every citizen who appeared at the grain distribution office could receive five catties of grain.

Within half a day, nearly 10 loads of grain were distributed, and within the following day, all the grain was distributed, but there were still many people waiting to receive the grain.

Yang Congyi immediately posted a notice that those who were willing to help them do things would be given ten catties of food each.

Soon, a person who looked like a shopkeeper stood up, walked up to Xuanwei Jun, and said cautiously: "Master Jun, I don't know what I can do for you?" ”

The official in charge of distributing the grain was shocked: "Can you speak the Great Song dialect?" ”

The man smiled cautiously: "The villain was originally a Song person, and he committed an accident before, and he came to Liangshan in desperation." ”

"Then you wait a minute." The detainee explained to the soldier beside him, and the soldier quickly entered the palace.

Soon after, he came out and brought the man in.

As soon as the man was brought to Yang Congyi, he immediately smiled and said, "The villain has seen the adult." ”

Yang Congyi said: "I heard that you used to be from the Song Dynasty, where are you from, why are you in Liangshan, what are you doing here?" ”

The man replied: "The villain is indeed a Song person, originally lived in Yongzhou, was bullied by bullies when he was young, there was an accident in the family, he killed someone in a fit of anger, and absconded all the way to Liangshan. The villain has lived in Liangshan for thirty years, runs a rice shop, and is quite familiar with this place. Don't know what you can do for adults? ”

Yang Congyi said: "The shopkeeper of the rice shop, let's count you to tell the truth." Let me ask you, how many other Li Yue officials are in this city, and where do they live? ”

The shopkeeper of the rice shop said: "There are indeed many officials in the city, where they live, the villain is not too clear, but as long as you ask, it is easy to know that the adults are going to kill them?" ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Do the people in the city want them to die? ”

The shopkeeper of the rice shop said: "I think, they are all masters who eat people and don't spit out bones, it's better to kill them all!" ”

"Okay, then according to what the shopkeeper said, arrest them all and put them to death." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

The shopkeeper of the rice shop was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "My lord, this is not the meaning of villains, it is that the people hate them!" ”

Yang Congyi said: "No matter who it means, these corrupt officials and cool officials who oppress the people should be killed." If you write their names, you'll be credited. ”

The shopkeeper of the rice shop hesitated a little and asked, "My lord, the villain doesn't need any work, just let the villain go back to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Back to the Great Song Dynasty? I can consider interceding for you, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not. Yang Congyi thought about it for a while, and felt that the problem should not be big, after all, it has been decades, and the case record should have been eliminated.

"Thank you, sir!" The shopkeeper of the rice shop bowed his head.

Then he wrote more than a dozen names on a piece of paper and handed them to Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi looked at the list and was silent, then put away the list and said: "There is another thing, we have collected a batch of grain at the southern pass, you go and tell the people in the city that for every load of grain you move back, you will be rewarded with five catties, and you will not go to the peak." As long as you are willing to help us do things, there will be great benefits in the future. ”

When the shopkeeper of the rice shop heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he asked, "Let them move the grain, and the adults are not afraid that they will steal the grain or hide it?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "We have knives in our hands, what are we afraid of, dare to hide our secrets, and kill them on the spot, this is military law." ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he immediately replied: "The villain will do it." ”

"Come on, go with the shopkeeper and arrest all these people." Yang Congyi called a detainer and handed him the list.

The detainees quickly led two teams out of the house, accompanied by the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and went straight to all parts of the city to search for the local officials.

Distributing food and giving some small benefits to the people of Liangshan is only the first step to gain their favor, to impress them from the heart, not to mention that they are willing to join the Xuanwei army, at least not to make trouble for them, the second step is needed, emotional recognition. The best way to achieve a general emotional identity with them is to publicly execute the corrupt officials in Liangshan and vent their bad anger.

After that, let the people do something with the Xuanwei Army and fulfill the promised benefits, so that they can successfully gain their trust. Regardless of whether they defend the city or flee for their lives in the future, the 20,000 or 30,000 people in the city are a big help for the Xuanwei army.

Since entering the city, Yang Congyi has been thinking about how to break the game.

The Xuanwei army took Liangshan, cut off the enemy's grain and grass far away in Yongzhou, and cut off the grain for a month, whether it was the enemy army in Yulin or the enemy army in Yongzhou, they would inevitably return to Liangshan, regain their strength and fight again, and the 3,000 people in the Xuanwei Military Region could not hold Da Nanguan and Liangshan, and as soon as the 50,000 enemy troops arrived, the only way for the Xuanwei army to survive was to flee from the wind and return to Tongmian by the same way. And after the enemy reoccupies Liangshan, he can immediately turn back and take Da Nan Pass and Yu Lin, it will definitely not take more than a day, and even on the way back to Liangshan, by the way, Yu Lin and Da Nan Pass will be taken in his hands, and after replenishing grain and grass, he will turn around and continue to send troops to Yongzhou, so that this battle will definitely not end in the short term, and everything that the Xuanwei army has done will not make much sense.

On the night when he was waiting for Su Zhong to send the battle report of Dananguan, a bold idea popped up in Yang Congyi's mind to defeat Li Yue's retreating 50,000 troops in Liangshan!

As soon as this idea came out, Yang Congyi was instantly frightened, according to the city, 3,000 people shook the 50,000 army, which was completely to put the Xuanwei army to death, such a small city, 50,000 troops can be easily surrounded, under the onslaught, the city will be broken if it can't last a day, and the whole army will be destroyed.

But after thinking about it calmly, the Great Song army outside Yongzhou City is useless, even if Li Yue's army retreats, they estimate that they will not dare to pursue, and the enemy army will calmly retreat, and Li Geng's more than 10,000 guerrilla troops are likely to withdraw from Yulin after learning that Li Yue's army is retreating, and take the initiative to avoid the battle, Li Yue's army will still not have the slightest damage, if the Xuanwei army does not do something, the war in Guangnan will definitely not end.

The Xuanwei Army has done a lot of great things, and the limelight is flourishing, if it can defeat the enemy army, end the war, the Battle of Quang Nam, all the merits, will be all to the Xuanwei Army!

After making up his mind to defeat Li Yue's army in Liangshan, Yang Congyi began to meditate on the way to defeat the enemy.

If you want to defeat the enemy, first of all, the difference in strength cannot be too large, 3,000 against 50,000, there is absolutely no chance of winning, so you will hit the idea on the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Liangshan City, they may be a good help.

After some thinking and repeated deductions, Yang Congyi devised a three-step series plan to buy people's hearts by distributing grain, killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and transporting grain.

Once the plan is successfully implemented, it should not be a problem to select 10,000 people from the people who have been bought, there are piles of bows and arrows and ordnance in the city, and with simple training, as long as you pull the bow, you can become an archer, and when Li Yue's army attacks the city, you can suppress it with bows and arrows, and give them great damage.

13,000 people were fortified and defended, with enough ordnance and sufficient food and grass, while the enemy army was unsheltered, lacking food and drink, and after a long time, the army's mind changed, even if it was not defeated, it was necessary to withdraw to the south of Daliang Mountain, as long as it was withdrawn, and then wanted to come back, it was not something that could be done in a year and a half.

The granary in the city originally had more than 10,000 quintals of grain, and the pass guarded by Yuan Hua and Liu Shi had put several batches of grain and grass into the pass in recent days, eliminating the enemy troops who were escorted, and collecting all the grain, and harvesting more than 2,000 quintals in a few days, and the pass was almost unloadable.

It can be seen from this that the Thang Long direction is rapidly transporting grain and grass to Liangshan, Yulin, and Fusui on a large scale to solve the problem of the shortage of grain and grass for the enemy troops on the front line.

Yang Congyi planned to take advantage of the fact that the news of the capture of Liangshan had not yet spread to the south, and collect several more batches of grain to reserve enough grain for the long-term defense of Liangshan.

The Xuanwei army is now scattered in three places, and there are only about 1,500 people in Liangshan, once people are sent to transport grain, the city's defense force will be weakened, and if an accident occurs, it will outweigh the losses, so Yang Congyi urgently needs to buy the people in the city and let them transport the grain back.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper of the rice shop, Xuanweijun arrested all the corrupt officials on the list in less than half a day and escorted them to the gate of the government, and even brought their relatives with them.

Subsequently, the shopkeeper of the rice shop led people to hype up the whole city, "the heavenly army went to Liangshan, arrested all the corrupt officials, and was stabbed at the entrance of the yamen, and the people were happy."

As soon as the people who had closed the courtyard doors and did not even go out to receive free food had heard that they had killed corrupt officials, they opened the doors of their houses and courtyards one after another, and came out to inquire about each other and verify the authenticity.

There are not a few people who have received food, they are waiting near the government office to continue to receive food, after they say, one spread ten, ten to hundred, less than half a day, the spacious government gate was surrounded by water, it can be seen that the people in the city hate and hate corrupt officials.

Of course, there may be many people who just come to see the fun, but the simple sense of justice exists in everyone's heart, and watching the killing of corrupt officials can also arouse their psychological resonance and gain their favor.

Seeing that more and more people gathered in front of the government office, shouting continuously, the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army who maintained order were squeezed to the door step by step, and the gap that was originally two zhang wide was only more than one zhang wide, and if they were squeezed again, they would be squeezed into the government office, and the emotions on the scene had accumulated to the peak.

At this moment, Yang Congyi, dressed in bright and clean armor and carrying a long sword, came out of the door and slowly climbed to the seven-foot platform temporarily erected at the door.
