After the transaction between the two sides was completed, Yang Desheng was sent to the city by the people of Mizhi County in a hanging basket, and Liu Renyu personally went to greet him, and then untied the rope on his body.

"Desheng, you have been wronged." Liu Renyu took Yang Desheng's hand and comforted.

"My lord, I don't feel wronged, I just think this matter is a bit ridiculous from beginning to end."

"How ridiculous?"

"Is this still my Ming Mizhi County? The officers and soldiers who relieved the siege of the thieves for them came, not to mention eating pot pulp, welcoming the king, even buying food, and coming to this set, .......alas! Yang Desheng said depressedly.

"The world is like this, don't blame them, okay, we have also bought food, let's go to Suide, there are 3,000 thieves besieged by Miaomei, let's go and relieve the siege quickly."

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, I'm going to distribute the food now, everyone listens. The homeless people were given 1 pound of grain each, and they were all allowed to carry it with them, and the rest were loaded into the carriage. Renjie, you go and untie the ropes of the homeless people and tell them to line up to get food. Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie took the order and left.

"Brother, what do you think of my arrangement?" After Liu Renyu gave the order, he asked Liu Wuguodao.

"Brother Xian's arrangement is good, but why do the displaced people carry a pound of food by themselves?"

"Our carriage capacity is not enough, and 300 stone of grain can't be loaded, so it's better to let the homeless people take it, and when they see that they have food with us, they will always follow us, and they won't wander around anymore."

"That's a good relationship, but why don't these real thieves untie them?"

"These real thieves have lived a long time of being free, how can they be accommodated by a few bowls of rice, and they are very combative, but they can't let them run out again to harm our Yansui."

"Makes sense." Liu Wuguo nodded in agreement.

After the two finished talking, the homeless people, escorted by the soldiers, each took a cloth bag and came to receive food.

When receiving the food, these homeless people were so hungry that their eyes lit up as soon as they saw the food, and they crowded up in a swarm, and the scene was suddenly a little chaotic.

"Damn it, Desheng, let them know the rules." Seeing that the scene was so chaotic, Liu Renyu frowned.

"Order."

Yang Desheng agreed, and then led his soldiers to hold wooden sticks and beat those who were desperately crowded.

How could those homeless people who had been hungry for a long time, with gold stars in their eyes, and skinny as firewood, withstand the heavy blows of the soldiers of Jingbianbao, and soon they were beaten crying and crying for their mothers, and howling miserably.

"You all listen to me, let the old people and children receive the food first, then the women, and finally the men under the age of 45, whoever is disobedient will be killed on the spot." Liu Renyu set the rules.

After listening to Liu Renyu's rules, the displaced people looked at the soldiers with sticks around them, and knew that they could no longer rush to grab food, so they had to take food in order.

"That's right, why are you in such a hurry? If you rush to the front, you can't only get a pound of food, but you can't share more. Oh, by the way, I want to remind you, don't rely on your own strength to rob other people's food, if someone robs food, my way to deal with it is one word, kill! Liu Renyu reminded.

When the homeless people who received the grain heard Liu Renyu's words, the old and weak all looked happy, and the strong and strong people were stunned.

After the matter of distributing the grain was done, the carriage convoy that had been left behind also followed, so Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo decided to go to Suide immediately to meet Miaomei.

Yan Zibin at the head of the city saw that this group of officers and soldiers was about to retreat, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said loudly with a smile: "You guys go slowly, this county is busy with official business, so it won't be far away." ”

"Hah, phew!" When Liu Wuguo heard these words, he spat on the ground in disgust, and sneered: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, and there are thieves besieging the city, see what you do." ”

"Do you dare not come to the rescue?" When Yan Zibin heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"How dare you not come, can't you talk angry? Hmph, bad luck. Liu Wuguo replied viciously, and then turned the horse's head and headed in the direction of Suide.

Walking on the official road to Suide, Liu Renyu said to Liu Wuguo, who was walking side by side: "My brother's words are not very decent." ”

"I know, I just can't get used to seeing that iron rooster Zhixian, and I scare him by talking." Liu Wuguo smiled and said.

"That's right, this bastard knows the county, and if he dies, he will die, but he can't catch the people of the city in order to put him to death."

"yes, I see."

So the two of them didn't say anything anymore, and went straight to Suide.

**************

At the head of Mizhi City, Yan Zibin leaned against the female wall battlement, touched the city bricks and stared at the direction of the officers and soldiers for a long time without speaking.

"Tang Zun, Tang Zun, the officers and soldiers have gone away, don't you want to go back to the county office?" Seeing that his hall was as motionless as an old monk, Master Fang asked curiously.

"You said that we treat the officers and soldiers like this, and we will be besieged by thieves again in the future, will they help us break the siege?" Yan Zibin didn't answer Fang Master's question, and asked rhetorically.

"This!? After all, they are officials and soldiers, and although they have been a little wronged, they should still focus on the overall situation. ”

"Yes! Do you also feel that they have been wronged? ”

"The subordinate said the wrong thing, please forgive the sin."

"What a sin you have! Actually, it's not that I want to wronged them, but that I'm really powerless. Alas, the only way to do this is to ask the Bodhisattva, hoping that there will be no more thieves to besiege the city. Yan Zibin was stunned.

When Master Fang heard this, he also sighed secretly.

****************

Mizhi and Suide are 50 miles apart, if the cavalry gallops, it will only take two hours to run, but unfortunately Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo have to take the homeless people to move together, and the speed of the march will inevitably be slowed down.

The brigade had only walked 30 miles by sunset.

In view of the fact that it was already dark, most of Liu Wuguo's soldiers and horses and homeless people had night blindness and were not suitable for walking at night, so Liu Renyu ordered to camp and rest, and then hurry tomorrow to Suide.

Day and night, in accordance with the requirements of the "Infantry Drill Code", the soldiers of Liu Renyu's department dug trenches, cloth horses, used carriages as walls to harden the village, and sprinkled iron thistles between the horses and the trenches.

When the Jingbianbao army set up camp, Wei Zhongyi, who did not go with King Qin last time, stood aside and watched, and after he watched the whole process of the Jingbianbao army setting up the camp, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder my brother-in-law wants to borrow them, whether it is marching and fighting, or setting up camps, they are all strong troops!" ”

Since then, Wei Zhongyi has really been polite to Liu Renyu, because martial artists only serve the word strength, and Liu Renyu has this strength, so Wei Zhongyi is convinced.

After the camp was established, next, Liu Renyu ordered to cook again, and this time Wei Zhongyi opened his eyes again.

I saw that the firemen of Jingbian Fort turned on the coal stove built on the carriage, took a large amount of snow and put it into the pot, and when the snowflakes turned into clear water, they added rice to it, and when the water and rice were mixed well, and added a lid.

Half an hour later, the rice was cooked, and the firefighters called for the meal, and at this time, Wei Zhongyi found that the soldiers of Jingbian Fort were all lined up in a neat line, one by one to eat in order.

Look at his own subordinates again, his mother is swarming and crying wolves, yelling, and messy.

Wei Zhongyi couldn't help but blush when he saw the stark contrast between the soldiers of the two families, and then shouted angrily: "You donkeys, are you starving ghosts reincarnated? Hurry up and line up for dinner. ”

When Liu Wuguo's soldiers heard Wei Zhongyi's heavy drinking, they all stopped their movements, but they never knew what the queue was, and now when they heard Wei Zhongyi say that they wanted to line up, they all looked at each other. I don't know why.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongyi said in a loud voice: "Line up." ”

Who wouldn't be in line.

So they all stood in order.

"You will remember in the future, you will line up at dinner, but you can write it down." Wei Zhongyi admonished.

"I'll make a note of it."

Although the soldiers of Liu Wuguo's department said that they had written it down, they felt inexplicable about Wei Zhongyi's behavior in their hearts.

After they lined up and took the wheat rice one by one to eat, Wei Zhongyi shook his head and hummed a small song from Shaanxi, and walked leisurely.

Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo finished eating, and then the displaced people ate.

Liu Renyu ordered the displaced people to take out two taels of grain, put them in a pot and cook them, and then take them back after cooking. The wheat rice was brought back, and the family could mix it out by themselves. But there should be no such thing as bullying the weak and snatching food.

According to Liu Renyu's request, the displaced people each took out two taels of wheat grains and threw them in the pot. Then they all lined up, salivating and waiting for the rice to be cooked.

The wheat grains are put into the pot and boiled for about half an hour, and the wheat grains are cooked, bringing bursts of aroma.

"I'm pieging." The fireman shouted.

The homeless people were in an uproar, but they did not dare to disrupt the formation because of the presence of soldiers with wooden sticks beside them.

When the displaced people finally receive the wheat rice, they divide into small groups in the same way that they get together as a family or as acquaintances.

After the division of the small group was completed, the displaced people did not care whether the rice that had just come out of the pot was hot or not, they all stuffed it into their mouths again and again.

The wheat grains are not hulled, they are very coarse, and they are full of hawthorn when chewed, but this coarse grain is slow to digest and can last for a long time before you are hungry again.

For homeless people, it's good to have a bowl of rice to eat, and who cares how it tastes. In the process of eating, there are many homeless people who eat too hard, and the food is stuck in the esophagus, and they can't go up or down, so they blush and have thick necks, and even breathing is difficult.

When the people next to them saw it, they hurriedly asked the firefighters to come to brush the pot of water and pour a few mouthfuls on the choked ones, so as to dispel the symptoms of the homeless.

"Alas! The people are struggling to survive, isn't it just for a bite of food! Liu Renyu saw the homeless people gobbling up, and for no reason, his heart softened, and he blurted out.

"Hey! This group of mud-legged people, waiting to starve to death, ran out to make trouble, and bothered us to come out to kill the thieves, which is really troublesome. ”

When Liu Wuguo heard Liu Renyu's words, not only did he not agree with it, but instead complained.

Liu Renyu heard that Liu Wuguo, a court official, actually said such inhumane words, and immediately glared at the latter with murderous eyes.

"What are you doing!?"

Liu Wuguo was forced by the murderous aura exuded by Liu Renyu's body, and involuntarily took a step back.

"Aren't all the officials of this era like this! He only thinks of himself in everything, and does things just to please Shangguan, and he regards the people as ants, so why bother with him? Liu Renyu thought of this in his heart, so he sighed secretly, and said with a smile: "I think that the thieves are hateful, and I hate to kill them all immediately." ”

"Hey! I can understand you if you want to kill the thief, but you shouldn't be looking at me like that! Liu Wuguo said angrily.

"I was in a hurry, so I didn't have a good reputation in front of my brother, and I asked my brother not to blame." Liu Renyu took a deep look and said apologetically.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Xian and I are both our own family, why bother to see outside." Liu Wuguo is an old fritter in officialdom in the end, and he doesn't care about such trivial things at all.

"Then thank you brother. Oh, by the way, brother, I'm going to fight against Miao Mei tomorrow, but I have a strategy, I want to discuss it together, what do you think? ”

"Let's discuss, then."

"Okay, then let's discuss with the military attachés on both sides."

"Okay."

After the two generals finished deliberating, they each went to summon their military attachés to a meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army.

When the military attaches of the two families came to the big tent of the Chinese army, they found that Wang Zuohang was also in the big tent.

Liu Renyu, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, saw that everyone looked different, so he explained: "Tomorrow against Miao Mei, according to the usual practice, first appease." We happen to have a man here who used to be the leader of the thieves, and I want to send him as a lobbyist. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

"Wang Zuohang, when you were a thief in the past, did you ever see Miao Mei?" Liu Renyu asked.

"Once upon a time, we met a few times and had a few drinks and dinners during this rebellion."

"That's the acquaintance."

"Well, sort of."

"I want to send you as a lobbyist, would you like to?"

“...........。”

"If you don't want to go, it's not impossible, I'll pick off your tendons and hamstrings and make you a waste."

"The little ones are willing to go."

"That's right."

"After you go, you should preach our military might to them, in addition, our policy of treating the displaced people well should also be explained, after you finish speaking, whether they are willing to accept Zhao'an or not, they will come back to talk to us, understand?"

"The little one understands."

"By the way, before you go, I'll send you something." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and then poured out a small blue pill from the bottle and handed it to Wang Zuohang.

Wang Zuohang took the small blue pill in his hand.

"Eat it." Liu Renyu ordered.

Wang Zuojiao stared at the small pill in his hand for a long time, knowing that the number of times was definitely not a good thing, so he never dared to eat it in his mouth.

"Desheng, help him." Liu Renyu said to Yang Desheng.

Yang Desheng received the order, so he stepped forward, pinched open Wang Zuo's mouth, and stuffed the pill into it.

With a bang, Wang Zuo moved his Adam's apple, obviously having swallowed the pill.

"Very good," Liu Renyu first smiled at Yang Desheng with satisfaction, and then said to Wang Zuo: "What I just gave you is Taixi Best Chronic. Poison Three Corpses Brain Pill, you need an antidote to get rid of the toxin, if you don't have an antidote within a month, you will be insane, your whole body will ulcerate and die, so don't run away. ”

"This little life is in your hands, how dare you run away." Wang Zuohang said with a sad face.

"You've done your errand, and I'll naturally give you the antidote. Alright, there's nothing for you to do here, you can go down first. Liu Renyu comforted.

Hearing Liu Renyu's order, Wang Zuo walked out of the big tent dejectedly, and his own soldiers outside the big tent took him to a special place to house real thieves and take care of him.

Waiting for Wang Zuo to go to the big tent, Liu Renyu said to everyone: "Zhao'an is just one of the strategies to deal with the thieves, if Zhao'an is not successful, of course we still have to kill, so everyone must be prepared, don't slack off because there is no big war, you must be vigilant at any time, can you write it down?" ”

"Got it." The crowd replied.

"Is there anything else my brother would like to add?" Liu Renyu asked.

"Nope." Liu Wuguo replied.

"Adjournment."
