After Song Xiance took the initiative to hand in the deed of sale, he originally thought that he needed to behave well in front of Xu Zhen'er first, and then in the form of saving the country with a curve, let Xu Zhen'er, the pillow person, blow the wind, so that he could enter Qin Yiming's core, but what he didn't expect was that after Qin Yiming saw Song Xiance's deed of sale, he directly took Song Xiance as his own and accepted him as a staff member, Xu Zhen'er was of course pleased with this, she was also recruiting talents for her husband, and her father-in-law valued Song Xiance so much, which can only show that she has a good vision.

Qin Yiming has long known Song Xiance's skills, and he knows that this person is quite talented, especially in the hearts of the people, compared with the thieves, the Ming Dynasty is of course far stronger than the thieves in terms of force and financial resources, but on another battlefield, the Ming court is far inferior to the thieves, especially Li Zicheng, this battlefield is the battlefield to win the hearts of the people.

Regarding the current rumors in Anlu County, Qin Yiming is also helpless, fortunately, he still has a certain prestige in Anlu County, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. But if you can appease the people and let the people support themselves, it will undoubtedly be of greater benefit to defend Anlu County with you.

Now a few people under his command, such as Ai Wannian, Yang Baihu, Da Niu and others, although they can be generals, but it is a bit difficult to say what to say, after all, they are all martial artists, and they don't necessarily know a few words of Dou Da, and Da Niu doesn't know a word, let alone put forward ideas.

Anlu County Yanei.

Chen Daquan, Sun Shirui, Qin Yiming, and the hundreds of households in Qianhu are all there, but they did not invite Ma Qianhu and Yang Yan, and Chen Daquan did not say anything about this, although he came forward to protect the two before, but now the enemy is now, the two are no different from pigs in his eyes, and it is useless to come, but it hurts the harmony.

"Qin Qianhu, that thief has tens of thousands of horses, and there are countless homeless people who have been coerced, can we really defend Anlu City?" Chen Daquan was worried in his heart, he was happy on the one hand, and worried on the other.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong marched eastward, so Xianling would be safe, but the worry was that he himself was surrounded by Zhang Xianzhong, and if the city was broken, he would definitely die.

Qin Yiming's face was expressionless, his eyes were resolute, and he said: "Lord Chen, you can rest assured, this Anlu County has already been strengthened by me, and the city wall has been raised a lot by me, and there are 4,000 officers and soldiers from my thousand households in the city, and 20,000 people, so it is impregnable, and it is definitely not a problem to defend the city." ”

According to Qin Yiming's thoughts, he not only wants to defend this city, but also to beat Zhang Xianzhong fiercely, so that Zhang Xianzhong will not dare to attack easily, if he can, kill Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop, and change the history of the Ming Dynasty. Before he made Zhang Xianzhong feel that his team was very large, and when Zhang Xianzhong understood and felt that he was being fooled, he would definitely storm Anlu County, and then he could use the city to consume Zhang Xianzhong, as for going out of the city to fight, it might be a way to find death.

"That's good, that's good!" Chen Daquan seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill, and his face was much better.

"It's just that rumors have spread in Anlu County recently, which has made people panic, and it is not good for our army to continue like this!" Sun Shirui is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics and knows the importance of the people's heart.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, he said: "What are you afraid of, no matter how much you chew the root of your tongue and disturb the morale of the army, you will be punished by the military law, kill a few and hang them at the head of the city, and see who dares to spread the word." ”

"Mengbaihu is not proper in this law, those people see the black oppression of thieves outside the city, they naturally can't tell the difference, how do they know which are Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, which are the homeless people who are coerced by Zhang Xianzhong! In their eyes, the people outside are Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers, but it seems that there are more than 100,000 people. Yang Baihu opened his mouth to retort.

"The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death, I also think that this law is inappropriate." Sun Shirui agreed.

Seeing that no one supported his idea, he said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then don't we sit idly by, let the rumors spread wildly, and want to mess with the army's heart?" When the army is in chaos, how can we fight? ”

Song Xiance, as a staff member, was also brought over by Qin Yiming, but he didn't say a word beside him, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Qin Yiming glanced at Song Xiance at this time, with that leisurely and complacent look, Qin Yiming really wanted to whip him.

"Mr. Song, you have listened to it for so long, without saying a word, it is easy to fall asleep! I wonder if Mr. Song has a countermeasure? Qin Yiming smiled and spoke sincerely, although he was now inconsistent, and secretly scolded Song Xiance in his heart.

Song Xiance saw that Qin Yiming finally opened his mouth to ask himself, and it was his turn to behave, so he also said with a smile: "Hehe, you can't think of it, my old man is a charlatan, and he doesn't have any good ideas......

Just when everyone was disappointed and Qin Yiming's heart was running wildly for 10,000 words, Song Xiance said again: "However, there are no good ideas, but there are a few bad ideas, I don't know if everyone is willing to listen to them." ”

Chen Daquan has the highest official position here, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Song, please." ”

"First of all, gather the scholars and storytellers in Anlu County to publicize the evil deeds of Zhang thieves everywhere in the city, the more exaggerated, vicious and cruel the better, so that the people in the city are afraid, and they naturally resist Zhang Xianzhong in their hearts, second, let the rich families in the city donate money, reward the officers and soldiers who defend the city, and improve everyone's morale, and the third point, let the people and officers and soldiers in the city believe that we can win this battle." Song Xiance said slowly, spitting smoke rings from time to time, the strong smell of dry smoke, Chen Daquan couldn't stand it from afar.

"The first two points are easy to do, but now that the army of thieves is pressing the border, and the rich families in the city donate some silver, presumably they don't have any opinions, but what about this third point? The people are ignorant, where do they know so much, let us tell them that our officers and soldiers will prevail and they will believe it? Chen Daquan felt that the third point was difficult to do, in his eyes, ordinary people are stupid, but sometimes it is more difficult to make stupid people believe certain things than to make smart people believe certain things.

Everyone nodded, feeling that what Chen Daquan said made sense.

"Hehe, of course it's not us who talk about it, it's for God to talk about it!" Song Xiance smiled and touched a few stray hairs on his chin, which attracted everyone's attention.

That's a good idea, for the ignorant believe in ghosts and gods!

But let God tell me? How does this mean? Everyone was interested, waiting for Song Xiance's answer, but at this time, the door was pushed open violently, and Zhang Xiaoshe ran in panting.

"Oh no, no, tonight's three watches, someone is rebelling!"

Everyone was shocked, at this time there was a large army outside, if there was a rebellion at night, suddenly opened the city gate, come to an inside and outside, everything is over.

Qin Yiming's face was pale, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly asked, "Who rebelled, what's going on, in detail?" ”

Zhang Xiaoshe said something briefly, he found a few people in Zuixiangju abnormal, and after interrogating them separately, he finally came up with the words of the thief, it turned out that these people were Liu Da's family members, they mixed into the city in batches, colluded with Ma Qianhu and others in the city, and agreed to rebel together at the third watch in the evening, capture the city gate, and let the thieves enter the city.

"Bastard thing, damn bastard thing, eat inside and crawl outside, live up to the emperor's grace, the crime deserves to die, this official swears that he will definitely kill the two!" After hearing this, Chen Daquan scolded, his chest rose and fell, and his face turned red.

"What time is it?" Qin Yiming asked, he didn't know how long they had been chatting in the room.

"It's already past the second watch, and there is still half an hour to go to the third watch!" Zhang Xiaoshe replied.

When Chen Daquan heard this, he became even more anxious and said, "What? Then it's too late to transfer troops now, what can I do, what should I do? ”
