Chapter 070: Soldiers Coming to the City 5
Relatives sent breakfast, Zhang Baiqi, Yuan Lang in the city tower residence will eat, as for Zhang Ning, Zhang Ruyan two daughters also woke up, after all, they are their daughter's home, grooming and dressing up is no problem, in order to facilitate them, Zhang Baiqi specially ordered someone to separate half of the residence here by the second daughter, where there is everything to live, as if it has become their small home.

The other half is naturally shared by Zhang Baiqi and Yuan Lang, and this half is now the front-line command post, where any military intelligence and county affairs are handled.
"Report, a suspicious cavalry team was found ten miles outside the West City, and they stood on their horses and watched around, as if they were spying on our defense!"
"Report, Zhou Liang came to report, he has divided all the 1,000 people given by Huang Shuai and more than 200 of his subordinates, and patrolled the county town in shifts, and arrested two thieves last night alone, seven people with suspicious identities, and are currently being interrogated!"
"Report, Dongcheng lacks winter clothes, General Bai Bo asks for quick supplements!"
"Report, Nancheng found a gap in the city wall, General Huanglong asked if he could go out of the city to repair it!"
One morning, there were too many reports like this, but fortunately there was Zhang Baiqi by his side to assist, otherwise Yuan Lang didn't know how he would respond.
The most noticeable thing in this information is nothing more than the discovery of the enemy army outside the city to spy on the military situation, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the enemy army is so calm and does not attack rashly, it seems that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the strategist Guo Tu and others should not be underestimated.
After receiving this information, Yuan Lang immediately replaced half of the guards in Xicheng, and instead ordered the remaining three battlements to strengthen the defense force, so that the enemy spies had a feeling that the defense of Xicheng was weak, as for whether the enemy could believe it, then leave this question to the other party to think about.
The opinions of all parties submitted in the morning and the things that need to be dealt with, Yuan Lang handled them in an orderly manner with the assistance of Zhang Baiqi, Yuan Lang just wanted to take a break, but who knew that his relatives came to report that Huang Can led his family to help defend the city, and now he has reached the city wall.
Huang Can's words were true, and Yuan Lang greeted him personally, so he hurriedly rushed out with Zhang Baiqi and expressed the warmest welcome to Huang Can's arrival.
Huang Can saw Yuan Lang and Zhang Bai riding out to greet each other and hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, Huang Can is a landlord and an old man, and he can be said to be the number one person in Changshan County, and the family he brought is naturally not inferior to Yuan Lang's soldiers, and there are a lot of people, although Yuan Lang has not counted them one by one, but there must be fifty people.
Not only did he bring people, but Huang Can also brought two boxes of gold jewelry to Yuan Lang, which were very suitable as the soldiers' salaries.
Huang Can's gesture was generous, Yuan Lang naturally did not hesitate to praise him, the two exchanged greetings for a long time, only to hear Huang Can finally say: "Huang Moujie Confucianism, Wen can't protect the city, Wu can't retreat from the enemy, only do a little bit to help the general, please Haihan!" ”
Yuan Lang replied: "Master Huang is polite, your dedication, not only the officials will remember it, but even the people of the county guard and even Changshan County, they will also remember it, and always remember your generosity!" ”
Huang Can expressed his embarrassment, and then he took the two of them down the city wall and went to his mansion in Beicheng.
Soon after Huang Can left, Yuan Lang ordered: "Come on, hand over all these members of the Huang family to Zhou Liang, just say that these people are familiar with the local terrain and let Zhou Liang use them reasonably!" ”
After sending away the Huang family, Yuan Lang ordered two boxes of gold and jewelry to be sealed, and then sent to the basement of the county guard to be stored and used after the war ended.
After the affairs of the Huang family were dealt with, Yuan Lang and Zhang Baiqi returned to the office again, as soon as Yuan Lang sat down here, Zhang Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over, and asked Yuan Lang with endless incredulity: "Husband, what kind of spell did you cast on the Huang family, and they were so loyal?" ”
Yuan Lang looked at Zhang Ning, then at Zhang Baiqi, and even at Zhang Ruyan who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, their eyes at the moment seemed to tell Yuan Lang that everything that happened just now was beyond their imagination, and it was already strange enough to send money and people, but with both, it was really a bit unbelievable.
"You really want to know?"
As soon as Yuan Lang spoke, Zhang Ning immediately nodded, and Zhang Baiqi also said curiously: "Since ancient times, there have been no business and no treachery, if there is no more benefit, they will not make this blood, Huang Shuai, did you make a wish to the Huang family?" ”
Yuan Lang shook his head with a smile, only to hear him: "Benefits? You guys look down on me too much, let me tell you, I only said two words to Huang Can! ”
"Which two?"
Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Ning asked in unison, they were already a little impatient to know the reason.
Yuan Lang didn't sell Guan Zi and said: "At that time, Huang Can came to persuade me to make peace with Yuan Shao, but I only said to him, 'This official and Yuan Shao are incompatible, he has no self, if I die, I will destroy your Yellow Gate first'!" ”
As soon as Yuan Lang said this, Zhang Ning and Zhang Baiqi were stunned, this is completely robber logic, Yuan Lang said this, undoubtedly he was helpless, so that the Huang family didn't dare to obey their fate.
But extraordinary methods must be taken at extraordinary times, the Huang family may not care who is in charge of Changshan County, but if as Yuan Lang warned him, their Yellow Turban Army has an army of 20,000 people, even if they can't beat Yuan Shao, take 10,000 steps back and say, killing a Huang family, I'm afraid it's still as simple as pinching an ant to death, Huang Can of course has to be scrupulous, this is the concern of the Huang family that Yuan Lang caught, and it really hit with one blow.
"Husband, is this good? Wouldn't the people of the Huang family have complaints? ”
Zhang Ning still has some concerns, after all, Yuan Lang's approach of obeying is almost a "strong woman", which will somewhat arouse the resentment of the Huang family.
For this, Yuan Lang said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, the Huang family is a businessman, they can do this today, it means that they have privately come to a conclusion, this deal, they will make a profit, instead of risking being destroyed by me, they might as well actively support me to defend the city, so I am the rightful county guard, they assist the county guard to protect the peace, as far as the people's reputation is concerned, they have also won a lot of praise, on this point, they can only be repaired in a few lifetimes!" ”
Yuan Lang was reasonable, and Zhang Ning and Zhang Baiqi had to admire Yuan Lang's foresight. As for Zhang Ruyan, she seemed a little bored at the end, so she went to the cubicle alone, which was probably the quietest place she thought.
Yuan Lang sneered in his heart, Zhang Ruyan and herself are now staying under the same roof, although she is still lukewarm and ignorant of herself on the surface, but Yuan Lang knows that this attitude has improved many times compared to before. (To be continued.) )
