On March 18, 5,000 soldiers of the Shangshui Army, led by Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, arrived outside the city of Anling and established a military camp outside the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, Zhai Huang followed Zhao Hongrun's order and sent three thousand generals to take over the northern, western, and eastern city gates of Anling, plus the south gate in the hands of the five hundred Yanling soldiers, and the city defense of Anling City was officially taken over by Zhao Hongrun.

In order to justify the name and at the same time to appease the people, Yan Yong, the county commander of Anling County, issued a notice that day, telling the residents of the county that the arrival of the Yanling army and the Shangshui army was to suppress the bandits in the vicinity of Anling.

Of course, this is just an excuse, after all, Anling is located near Yanling, and Yanling is stationed with 20,000 Yanling soldiers from Qu Cheng, how can there be a thief who is not long-sighted to dare to come to this place to cause trouble?

The reason why I found an excuse was just to make Zhao Hongrun's takeover of the city defense of Anling justified, after all, although Zhao Hongrun had a lot of authority, he took over the city defense of the local county for no reason, which still belongs to the category of encroachment.

But if it was Yan Yong invited by Anling County to come over to suppress the thief, then it would be a different matter.

And the arrival of the Shang Shui Army made the Yanling army led by Yan Mo a little surprised.

You must know that these 5,000 merchant water troops have condensed the elite of the current Shang water army, such as Ran Teng's 1,000-man team, Xiang Li's 1,000-man team, and Zhang Ming's 1,000-man team, which were all elite 1,000-man teams that showed their prominence in the offensive and defensive battles of Yucheng during the Battle of Sanchuan.

At the beginning, Zhao Hongrun was able to defend the city with a large number of outnumbered enemies under the crazy offensive of more than 200,000 Jiaojiao troops in Bitatu, and these soldiers made great contributions.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Shangshui can now be said to have gained fame and fortune, not only have they become famous in the Wei State, but also the rewards from the imperial court after the war made Yan Lingjun feel blushing.

Even if it is an ordinary soldier, after a battle, he was rewarded with three sheep, hundreds of taels of silver, and dozens of acres of land, can this be imagined?

Hundreds of taels of silver and dozens of acres of land are counted, the problem is those three sheep, you must know that in the private market, a sheep is worth hundreds of taels? Throughout the Wei State, even if the six battalions of the garrison were stationed, they did not have such treatment as the Shang Shui Army.

It can be said that after the Battle of Sanchuan, all the veterans of the Shang and Shui Army who survived turned into small rich lords, with fields and houses, as well as sheep, which were very few livestock in the territory of Wei State, and they had become small landlords.

And like Ran Teng, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, these brave thousand-person generals, actually got the status of nobility because of their merits, although they are nobles, they must still be polite when they see the real nobles, but they are already very remarkable, at least, they have been separated from the commoners.

Therefore, when the Shang Shui Army entered the city from the south gate of Anling to take over the city defense, the red-eyed Yan Ling soldiers were very cold to them one by one, and almost no one greeted each other.

It stands to reason that the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army are from the Pinghui Army together, and the relationship should be very harmonious.

In this regard, Yan Mo once complained to Zhao Hongrun in private, although he spoke in a very calm tone, Zhao Hongrun could still hear the complaint in his words.

As for what to complain about, it is nothing more than that Zhao Hongrun is too partial to the merchant army.

Yan Mo believed that the Yanling soldiers he trained would never be inferior to the Shang Navy.

In all fairness, if it was Qu Cheng who said these words, then Zhao Hongrun would probably have to beat the latter, but for Yan Mo, Zhao Hongrun gave a certain tolerance, after all, Yan Mo is also a very pure general, which is very different from Qu Cheng's ambitious people.

Of course, the city government of Yi Qucheng, even if he is dissatisfied, will not complain to Zhao Hongrun about this matter in person, he will only have two reactions: either he will be more attentive to Zhao Hongrun, or he will imply that the ministry will raise the matter to Zhao Hongrun, in short, he himself will never come forward.

As for Yan Mo's complaints, Zhao Hongrun could only appease him with kind words, and promised him that once a war broke out in Wei in the future, he would definitely send Yan Ling's army to the front line.

After all, in the final analysis, Zhao Hongrun does favor the Shang Shui Army too much because of Qu Cheng's relationship, after all, the three generals of the Shang Shui Army, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao are all self-aware, and they are very satisfied with their current power and status, and they do not want to take a step closer, while Wu Ji is similar to Yan Mo, they are all very pure generals, and their ambitions in life are nothing more than to prove themselves on the battlefield and strive to be famous in history.

But having said that, although there is prejudice against the Shang Shui Army after all, when Ran Teng, Xiang Li, and Zhang Ming, three thousand people of the Shang Shui Army, came to the county government to report to Zhao Hongrun, Yan Mo, who was watching from the sidelines, had to admit that these thousand generals who gradually became famous as "fierce generals" in the Shang Shui Army did have their extraordinary.

At least that evil spirit, even Yan Mo was secretly frightened, and secretly sighed: It is worthy of being a thousand generals who charged on the front line in the Battle of Sanchuan, and they are indeed braver than most of the thousand generals in his Yanling army.

"His Royal Highness King Su."

Under Yan Mo's silent observation, Ran Teng, Xiang Li, and Zhang Ming, three merchants and sailors, thousands of people, will bow to Zhao Hongrun.

After the Battle of Sanchuan, the Shang Shui Army was convinced by the Wei court's clear system of rewards and punishments.

Although there were still cases of nobles oppressing commoners in some parts of the Wei State, the Wei court was generally clear, and the reward after the victory of Sanchuan was rich enough to make the Shangshui soldiers and generals a little unbelievable.

In the Chu State, do you want to get this kind of rich reward? Wake up, that money is only enough for your family to survive the winter of that year.

"I'll let you run again."

Zhao Hongrun smiled and gave a false hand, and asked the three thousand people to get up, after all, after solving the problem in Yangxia County, he told Wu Ji that he could let the Shang Shui Army enter the drill stage, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, he summoned the Shang Shui Army again, which made Zhao Hongrun a little embarrassed.

As for Zhao Hongrun's self-deprecation, Ran Teng and others said that it was their honor to be summoned by His Royal Highness King Su.

Also, the more times they are summoned by Zhao Hongrun, doesn't it mean that they are more and more valued by His Royal Highness King Su!

On the side, Yan Mo couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Thinking that he has been by Zhao Hongrun's side for the past few days, how could he not know that Zhao Hongrun is preparing to attack the nobles of Anling?

That's a fat gap.

Who knows how much wealth these nobles will have?

During the period, the more fierce the two sides fought, the more ruthless Zhao Hongrun's treatment of those nobles became, ranging from a heavy fine to a heavy fine, or a direct confiscation of family property, even if the money had to be handed over to the household department in the end, but to be honest, the leaks from Zhao Hongrun's fingers alone were enough for their Yanling soldiers to rejoice for a while.

And this fat difference, it should have been their turn to Yanling Army, but considering the contradiction between Anling and Yanling, Zhao Hongrun gave up summoning Yanling's army, and changed his mind to summon Shangshui Army.

This made Yan Mo very depressed.

After all, his Yanling army was not like the Shang Shui Army, which had just won the battle, and even the soldiers in the whole army were very rich.

Because of this, Yan Mo's eyes towards Ran Teng and the others were not so kind.

And Ran Teng and the others also knew about this, and pretended not to see it.

Under the hands of His Royal Highness King Su Zhao Hongrun, one party has more resources, and the other party will naturally have less, so how can the other party have a good face?

After instructing Ran Teng and the others a few words, Zhao Hongrun sent them to patrol the city.

To tell the truth, Zhao Hongrun was not afraid that the nobles in the city would gather to fight him, the only thing he was worried about was that the nobles instigated the civilians in the city and instigated those blind and innocent civilians to riot because of some nonsensical things.

For example, a few days ago, countless civilians gathered outside the county office to denounce him.

As long as those nobles couldn't incite the civilians in Anling City, no matter how they jumped, Zhao Hongrun had the confidence to press them down.

But then again, the "preparations" of the nobles in Anling City were so slow that Zhao Hongrun couldn't bear to look at them directly.

You must know that three days ago, Zhao Hongrun had already learned that the Wang family was inviting the nobles near Anling to join hands to deal with him, but until today, these people are still preparing.

What are you eating?!

Zhao Hongrun couldn't imagine that if he hadn't been determined to catch them all, how could the nobles in the city survive until now?

Of course, when complaining about this matter, Zhao Hongrun obviously did not take into account the role of the crows in this matter, and it was precisely because the crows kept an eye on the wind and grass in Anling City all the time that Zhao Hongrun could grasp the movements of that group of people in great detail.

Therefore, it is not that those nobles are too slow to do things, but it is that the ability of the crows is too amazing, quietly sneaking into the mansions of those nobles and listening to the secret meetings of those nobles, who can imagine?

Zhao Hongrun felt more and more that he was too wise to listen to the advice given to him by Jin Gou, the leader of the former Fuqiu, and now that he had the green crows in his hands, he smiled and watched a group of young people jumping, plotting against him when he thought no one knew, but he didn't know everything in his eyes Zhao Hongrun, I have to say that this feeling is really good.

"Your Highness."

Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, once again appeared ghostly around Zhao Hongrun, and under the speechless gaze of Zong Wei Jiao, who was frightened and slowly withdrew his sword, he knocked on the ground and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, those people have a clear action. …… They dismissed the citizens of Anling County who had been hired in the past, whether it was the earth mines outside the city or the shops in the city. There is even news that those people are moving out of Anling......"

"Who came up with this stupid trick?"

Zhao Hongrun teased angrily.

After all, those nobles in Anling support more than seventy percent of the economy in Anling, and at least a quarter of the citizens of Anling County work in the industry under the names of those nobles, and now those nobles have made such a play, which means that at least two percent of the people in Anling County have lost their jobs.

Without a job, there is naturally no way to support the family, and it is strange that those civilians do not make trouble.

As for the killer move, that is, the nobles of the whole city move out of Anling, it is even more tricky, after all, once these nobles transfer their family property to other cities and counties, Anling's economy will undoubtedly plummet, and when the time comes, who will support those civilians who have lost their jobs?

It's a pity that those people are facing Zhao Hongrun.

"Interesting! …… Let them move! Duan Pei, find out which nobles leaned towards the Wang family, Mu Qing, record these people in the notebook, and this king has to settle accounts one by one. ”

"Yes!"

Duan Pei and Mu Qing responded. (To be continued.) )
