Li Xiang was lying in the tent, listening to the murmur of the wind passing through the spring forest, and the last conversation with Fang Weiliang kept echoing in his head.

"The owner of the village sent most of his people to harass him, which seems to be desperate, but in fact, it makes Fang Tianding and other thieves even more confused."

At that time, Fang Weiliang drank a big bowl of porridge, and while adding porridge to himself and the owner of the village, he talked about his own opinions.

Fang Weiliang has a unique grasp of people's hearts.

"Fang Tianding and Ying Ming, do you believe that there are not many people around the owner of the village, or do you believe that the manpower used by the owner to sneak attack and harass is a new force?"

"In my opinion, it must be the latter."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that some people could actually run a hundred miles of mountain roads in two or three days and go through three battles. Immediately after that, the troops divided into three routes and rushed to attack ten or even dozens of miles away, and the worst result was to retreat with all their bodies. ”

Before Fang Weiliang said the above, the three teams sent out had already sent people back to report the news. Yang Yingdong was the farthest away, and the thin little martial artist sent back to report the news was about to run away.

The owner sighed: "First there was kindness, then there was reward and punishment, and then two great victories aroused their morale. Then came a fierce battle against the Orphans, and then tonight's assault. ”

"The high fighting spirit of these two days is something that is unattainable."

"Actually, I'm overdrawing my strength, and I'm taking risks. If I can't rescue my father-in-law tomorrow, and my Zhuang Ding and Wufu are all in urgent need of recuperation, Fang Tianding will definitely send a large army to kill me all over the mountains and forests. ”

Fang Weiliang participated in most of Li Xiang's planning. He knew very well that the owner of the village had used most of his manpower, and the war had almost been fought, and he could no longer fight.

recalled all the plans that had been revised repeatedly, and Li Xiang, who had not found any obvious loopholes, closed his eyes......

The time is approaching, and it is the most sleepy time for the human body, but Zhao Zhiqiang in Anji County, Ximen Bo in Huzhou City, and Han Shizhong in Jiankang have not rested.

When the county seat of Anji was captured by half of the Xu Bai Department of the Fang La Army, Zhao Zhiqiang thought about taking refuge in the Yongle Dynasty. However, Xu Baibu was blocked by the sudden appearance of the 3,000 Xiang army, and Zhao Zhiqiang immediately hid the flag of defection to the Yongle Dynasty, encouraging the village soldiers, officials, hunters and young men to kill the rebels, and made a lot of contributions.

Zhao Zhiqiang's military exploits were guaranteed by the local gentry, and Han Zhaoqiu and several civil officials used seals and paintings to pledge, and they have been reported to the center. After the war, Zhao Zhiqiang was promoted to several levels of military officials, and he was promoted to a certain army or a military state to serve as a ministry, which was almost a certainty.

Zhao Zhiqiang took over the command of all the armed forces in the Anji Valley except for the Xiang Army, and he liked to train the township soldiers who had scolded him before, and he was quite proud of his eyebrows. Now that the epidemic has not subsided, and I don't know when the next round of war will be, as one of the saviors of Anji County, Lord Zhao must of course enjoy it for two days.

said that he would only accept the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant and the head of a few large households, and obediently opened his legs for Zhao Zhiqiang.

Because Zhao Zhiqiang is an outsider, the people who have made sarcastic remarks have sent things to Zhao Zhiqiang's courtyard again and again in the name of thanking him for saving his life.

Businessmen of all sizes who came to Anji County to do business also had one more name on the thigh list: Zhao Zhiqiang!

"Huh? Madam, why did you get up, not sleepy, or want to be a husband? Zhao Zhiqiang was in the front hall with Erlang's legs crossed, drinking tea and eating snacks, when he saw his wife coming over, so he asked with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao poked Zhao Zhiqiang's eyebrows, added a cup of tea for him, and then sat on the chair next to him and said: "When I woke up and found that my husband was not there, how could the slave family sleep peacefully, so I thought about coming over to accompany my husband." ”

Zhao Zhiqiang was moved in his heart, and scratched the little woman's palm a few times, causing the little woman's eyes to be resentful.

"Then the lady will wait with her husband, and it won't be long anyway. Li Xiang wants me to help him save his father-in-law, how can he not vomit some blood? ”

"Isn't Li Xiang always good friends with her husband? He worked hard to save his father-in-law, it can be seen that he is a good man, why did the husband ask the porter to push his messenger back twice? ”

"Friendship what? I've never met in person, it's all letters. And on the night that the grandson was almost broken in Anji County, he didn't take into account my earlier overtures to him, and directly took his people to slip through the ravine, which angered me! ”

"That's really his fault. But Li Xiang's quid pro quo is very good, isn't the husband tempted? ”

Zhao Zhiqiang sat up straight and sent the soft and glutinous snacks down with tea, "Tempting, of course tempting, but your husband and I are no longer the township soldiers in the past." He Li Xiang only uses two workshops and a thousand guanzi, so he wants me to cooperate with him? ”

"Madam, I also got the news from the newly sent commander a few days ago, north...... Those martial artists have already made a fortune in each place. And I heard that the main event hasn't arrived yet. ”

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and exclaimed, "The husband won't be from the slave family, right?" Today's Jiangnan can be so profitable? ”

Mrs. Zhao was not too stupid, and soon learned the meaning of her husband's words, pointed to the east and asked, "Husband is saying that Li Xiang can pull her husband into the group of people who make a lot of money?" ”

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't know the status of Li Xiang, the initiator, he scratched the back of his head, "That's what it means, the commander's meaning is quite certain, maybe he also heard that I have a close relationship with Li Xiang and wants to find a way from me." Something deeper, I don't think he knows. ”

"Husband, I don't offend Li Xiang, isn't this already neatly dressed, and I haven't slept waiting for his messenger? As soon as the morning dawns, he wants me Zhao Zhiqiang to work harder, and he always has some blood. ”

"Besides, when the time comes, I, Zhao Zhiqiang, will take my wife to be promoted, move, work up and down, and save up and down the family business for my son, and the thicker the capital, the better. There is such a good opportunity, of course, you must take advantage of it. ”

Mrs. Zhao blushed and snorted Zhao Zhiqiang, "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter, don't be ashamed!" ”

Not long after, the porter came to report, and Li Xiang's messenger came again.

Zhao Zhiqiang and his wife glanced at each other: It's finally here!

In Huzhou City, Ximen Bo has just returned to his residence in Huzhou City from the west of Taihu Lake.

Ximen Bo was originally a small official, but later came to Han Shizhong's Chinese army to work, and once met Li Xiang's fleet at the dock.

When he returned, the first thing he did was nothing else, but he put down the two masks, then took off all his clothes and soaked his whole body in lime water......

After screaming like a pig, Ximenbo jumped into the bucket of warm water and breathed a big sigh of relief, "It's terrible to go out now......

Thinking of the scene of the two days of negotiation with the representatives of various families, as well as the staff and masters of officials and masters wearing masks, Ximenbo in the warm water bucket couldn't help but smile wryly.

In order to rescue his father-in-law, Li Xiang of course had to take into account the gentry and officials who had been offended by him, and he could not let those people stumble. Some people don't talk about how things are done, but they can always make others unable to do things.

On the one hand, it is friendship, and on the other hand, it is driven by interests, Ximen Bo, who was born in a side branch, gritted his teeth and accepted Li Xiang's entrustment to seek a way of reconciliation for Li Xiang and the gentry officials.

The gentry hoped to get a batch of "hot" goods production methods from Li Xiang, and also wanted to join the suddenly emerging "battlefield fortune group" through Li Xiang.

What can attract officials can't be too vulgar, after all, most of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are transferred every few years, and they can't be dealt with in the same way as the gentry. But Li Xiang also has a way to get officials to look away for the time being, and that is the huge reputation of controlling the epidemic.

Li Xiang wrote dozens of letters, promising that he would not announce that the epidemic prevention and disaster control methods that had been distributed before were his, and hinted that there were still some methods that had not been written.

"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"

In Jiankang City, in the flower hall of a luxurious garden belonging to the government, Han Shizhong patted the carved and painted pear blossom wood tabletop and roared at Han Yanzhang.

"Lao Tzu has already ordered Anji and Huzhou to rescue Liu Chengdong with their lives, what does Li Xiang mean by this kid? A slap in the face?! ”

"I actually used heavy profits to bribe the generals who were about to do things one by one, and asked your kid to ask Lao Tzu for his guilt on his behalf when he was about to act. Did he Li Xiang think that the military order he was asking for was not as good as his letter? Or do you think he has merit, and I can't bear to kill him?! ”

In addition to Han Shizhong in the flower hall, there were only Han Yanzhang who bowed his head and was being trained, and Mr. Zi'an who was standing aside with his sleeves folded.
