No one came down the mountain to eat the food.

However, at night, the soldiers standing guard heard a lot of squeezing sounds, like a large group of small animals, stealing something from your kitchen.

Someone proposed to light a torch and go out to have a look, but Xu Shiyang vetoed it.

The next morning, the soldiers found that all the food left at the foot of the mountain yesterday was gone, even the crockpot for porridge was gone.

Xu Shiyang smiled slightly and ordered to continue yesterday's large-scale group gymnastics performance.

Only today, cavalry parade charges and some elite individual cavalry performances have been added to the show.

In the afternoon, the magic machine soldiers came on the field, performing musket salvo and artillery fire, the only one of the general guns fired twice, the two magic guns fired six times, and the flying iron bullets bombed a small forest at the foot of the mountain, and all kinds of branches and leaves could be seen flying everywhere by the air waves from afar.

The next thing was steaming food, only this time there were only multigrain pastries and a little bit of grug.

The loud-voiced auxiliaries were still shouting at the bottom of the mountain:

"Brothers outcasts! Are yesterday's buns good? Do you want to eat again? Can you eat it in the mountains? ”

"Come down! Go to the dock fort and work hard for two years, and then you can cut two taels of meat and make dumplings to eat! ”

There was still no movement on the mountain, and although everyone could see the figures dodging in the dense forest, no one came down the mountain to vote.

"Third brother, this can't be done!" Xu Shiliu said beside Xu Shiyang: "These Diao people are simply eating our family's food for nothing!" They simply don't want to go down the mountain and vote! We're squandering with food! ”

"They're not Diaomin, they just don't trust us." Xu Shiyang said lightly.

"But you ...... like this" Xu Shiliu pointed to the mountain and asked dissatisfiedly: "How much grain do you have to take to count?" How many days do we have to feed them? ”

"Three days." Xu Shiyang replied calmly: "Three days later, we will launch the first round of attack, and then release grain for three days, until we return to pacify the entire Wulian Mountain Area." ”

"Three days later, three more days?" Xu Shiliu exclaimed.

"Yes." Xu Shiyang smiled and said, "I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf." What's more, these people are not wolves, they are people like us, and doing so can save the time cost of converting them into the core population of our family. ”

"Seliu, you remember, you are the ruler, and the ruler must not only earn money, but also spend money. There is no point in burying money in a cellar, only by letting it flow can we continue to create more wealth. ”

"The same is true of population, the sooner we convert these displaced people into our core population, the sooner they will create wealth for us. When they are willing to work hard, you will find that the little food consumed in the past few days is nothing. ”

"So, don't worry about this bit of food, do as I say."

……

In the middle of the night, the disturbing sound was remembered outside the camp.

However, after the voice subsided, the sentinels on the periphery reported that someone on Wulian Mountain had come to ask for a meeting.

Xu Shiyang, who was writing the future development plan of the new army under the oil lamp, smiled slightly, he knew that the strategy of using a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other began to work.

The person who came was a fat monk, a figure that was very rare among the common skinny and bones-covered homeless.

This monk was carrying an iron Zen staff, Xu Shiyang estimated that he weighed 4 or 50 kilograms, with a long beard on his chin, a washed and blue five clothes, his chest exposed, and his muscles were pricked.

The first time Xu Shiyang looked at him, he felt that he was a fierce general-type character, and he was ...... Liangshan who came out of the Water Margin.

Wait, there are already several Water Margin characters around me!

"Ruda? Uh, no, Lu Zhishen? Xu Shiyang asked curiously.

"Do you know the Sprinkle family?" The big man asked in surprise.

"Huh, is that really you?" Xu Shiyang smiled and said, "Well, I know you, but you probably don't know me, I'm ......." ”

"You are the young master of the Xu family in Juzhou, and the Sprinkle family also recognizes you." Lu Zhishen said unceremoniously: "You have been very famous in recent years, how can the Sprinkle family not recognize you." But how do you recognize the Sprinkler family? ”

"It doesn't matter, you're the leader of the Five Lotus Mountain Displaced People?"

You can't say you knew him from textbooks and TV, right? Xu Shiyang changed the topic and went straight to the point.

Lu Zhishen scratched his bare head, threw his doubts aside, and said generously: "There are no leaders on Wulian Mountain, but some homeless people can afford to look down on the Sprinkle family and are willing to follow the Sprinkle family to beg for food." The reason why the Sprinkle family went down the mountain is also very simple, I heard that you killed a Tartar Meng'an? ”

"It's just a Meng'an." Xu Shiyang pretended to be 13 lightly: "It's not worth mentioning." ”

"Then you're a good man." Lu Zhishen asked: "In the past two days, your people have been arguing at the bottom of the mountain, but those words are true?" ”

"I can deceive, but I never lie."

"The Sprinkle family has little reading, don't deceive the Sprinkle family! Isn't deception a lie? ”

"I do what I say, so I never lie." Xu Shiyang shook his head and said slowly: "But I don't have to lie to deceive people, such as deceiving and luring the Tartars into an ambush." ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head, probably distinguishing the meaning of Xu Shiyang's words.

"It turned out to be a bully to the enemy."

Xu Shiyang gave him a big smile and did not answer.

There are some things that you don't need to say too clearly to others.

For example, telling the truth, but only telling part of the truth, is the most inducing lie, and there is no need to tell others about this kind of thing.

"Don't talk about that, as long as the Sprinkle family knows that you don't lie!" Lu Zhishen said arrogantly: "There are thousands of brothers in the Sprinkle family on the mountain, as well as their families, if you can promise not to kill them, treat them as Wubao people, and let the Sprinkle family go down the mountain to vote for you!" ”

"Well, I don't lie, so I'll just say it bluntly: I will never spare any of you who have done screaming insults before, and I will not kill any of them."

徐世杨 says:

"However, tell your brothers, the Xu family is a military tun, and they manage the people's livelihood with military discipline, if they can't stand the discipline and make mistakes, no one will be able to save them at that time, including you."

"The Sprinkle family has been a magistrate in the Western Army before, and I also know some about this military law, rest assured, as long as you can treat us fairly, the Sprinkle family will help you with military law when the time comes."

Bang bang bang.

Xu Shiyang applauded gently.

"You go back to the mountain first, and tomorrow morning, lead the crowd down the mountain. And to those who don't want to come down, tomorrow I will continue to give porridge, but I will not wait like this forever, I will attack the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, there will definitely be deaths, and it will be people on the mountain of death, and many people will die. Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"But ......, but most of those who don't want to go down the mountain participated in the ...... of attacking Zhucheng last year, can you let the heroes of Zhucheng let them go?"

"Our Dock Fort Alliance does not include the Zhucheng side for the time being." Xu Shiyang replied: "They came to help the war voluntarily, and I never promised them anything, including severely punishing the first offender last year." ”

"But I still say the same thing, if someone screams and insults last year, I will never spare it, and that kind of person will not come down, I will definitely kill him."

"It doesn't matter to the others, I promise not to kill one and treat them equally."

"It's just that if you don't want to go down the mountain, wait for the lords of the cities and forts to go up the mountain, they want to retaliate, and I have no obligation to stop it, I hope you can understand."
