Chapter Eighty-Nine: After the War
The three thousand soldiers looked at a lot, but they could not stand the mountains of gold and silver treasures in the stone-wide fortress, the abundance of grain and grass, and the complete sets of excellent equipment.
Rao is Ning Shaoqiu asked Wei Chigong to send another thousand men, and they still had to move three times to finish the gold, silver, treasure, grain and grass equipment in this fortress, and there were many vases, antiques and heavy equipment still in the fortress. It was already midnight when the last trip into the city was already in the city, and some of the early risers in the city had already wandered around the city, watching the soldiers carry carts and sacks of money and food to the daimyo's mansion, all of them stood still, and their faces were shocked and discussed.
"Hey! Where did you tell the king where he seized it?! With so much money and food, I'm afraid there are few families in Lizhou City who can reach this part, right? β
"Leave this alone! His Royal Highness King Ming, this is obviously the money that only has won the battle, everyone should be happy! β
"Haha! Our group of ordinary people finally have a good life! β
Ning Shaoqiu walked at the end of the line, just when he heard these discussions, he didn't shy away from it, he arched his hand at the people watching next to him, and said in a loud voice: "You guys got up early enough!" Later! Sleep more, this world is too peaceful! β
"Hahahaha!" Laughing loudly, Ning Shaoqiu finally couldn't suppress his excitement about returning from a big victory, and laughed regardless of his image.
Everyone looked at Ning Shaoqiu so profligately, but none of them felt that it was rude, but felt that His Highness was unruly and extremely free.
This can only be said that if you like someone, even the fart is fragrant.
Naturally, the news of the city soon reached Shi Zhangkuan's ears, and when he heard that His Royal Highness did not know where he had gone to win the battle last night, and that the money and grain were being transported to the Daimyo's Mansion one after another, the old fellow almost rolled off the bed, stumbled and got dressed, and went to the pigeon room, and hurriedly wrote a few words and immediately let it outβthis pigeon was sent back and forth from the Shifu to and from the fortress.
After waiting for a while, still no pigeon flew back, his heart chuckled, and he hurried to the pigeon room again, this time the letter was written for a long time, and then he stopped writing, stuffed the letter into the small wooden tube in the pigeon's leg, hesitated, and finally the pigeon flew out of his hand and flew in the other direction.
"Whew!" Shi Zhangkuan exhaled, and his eyes sharpened.
Besides, Ning Shaoqiu returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, and did not immediately go back to the Ming Palace, but discussed with Wei Chigong there about a stick of incense, mainly about martial law in the city, of course, the object of martial law is also very clear, that is, the stone width of Shifu and his son Shijin, now that the fortress outside the city has been broken, now these Shifu families in the city are no longer worried, and the only thing to do now is to prevent them from escaping.
"You send a group of two hundred to three hundred soldiers every day to guard in front of the gate of his Shifu and take turns on duty, and no matter who goes out in the Shifu, they must be checked! Other than that! Send someone to the various rooms of the fortress, especially the one with a wide stone width, and there should be a lot of evidence in our favor! β
"Also, don't be lax about the three major families, if they know that the fortress with a wide stone width is broken by us, I am afraid that they will secretly plan against us, none of these three old foxes is a fuel-efficient lamp, arrange some people to guard them, of course it doesn't take too much, after all, their three major families are not as big a threat as the wide stone width!"
Ning Shaoqiu said, Yu Chigong remembered, unconsciously he had already said several pages, Ning Shaoqiu yawned, he couldn't say any more, Yu Chigong also put down the pen in his hand with interest: "His Royal Highness King Ming, you better go back and rest early!" My second brother and I will arrange it in the city! β
Ning Shaoqiu didn't shirk anymore, stood up, moved his somewhat weak body, thought of something again, and said: "And that group of Shi family soldiers, you and your second brother said that it is still the same as before, if you want to join our Lizhou City Daimyo's Mansion, just stay, and if you don't want to join, just give them a few taels of silver and send them back!" Don't let them make trouble! β
As he spoke, Ning Shaoqiu yawned again, Wei Chigong laughed, and said, "His Royal Highness King Ming, my second brother and I have also been by your side for a long time, and we have learned a little bit about your style of doing things, so don't worry!" β
As he spoke, he had already helped Ning Shaoqiu to go outside the Daimyo's mansion, and two soldiers passed by in the school field, and he called out to the two of them: "Send His Royal Highness King Ming back to rest, be careful on the way!" β
"Go, go, go!" Before the two soldiers could speak, Ning Shaoqiu spoke first: "You don't do these things, the soldiers have their own work to do!" Why do you keep bothering them! This king is not without feet, he can walk by himself, you can quickly finish the things I have explained, don't raise a stinky problem, and always remember where you came from! β
"Yes! The subordinates know that they are wrong! A hint of shame flashed in Wei Chigong's eyes, he was really used to scolding this group of soldiers these days.
Ning Shaoqiu went back to the house and fell asleep, this sleep was extremely peaceful, until noon and noon, he woke up in a daze, and he hadn't sat up straight! The maid outside the door seemed to hear his movements, and said respectfully: "Wei Hezhong is here!" I've been waiting in the hall for half an hour! β
"You let him go back first! Let's just say that this king is a little tired, and he has no strength today. After Ning Shaoqiu finished speaking to the maid, he yawned again, it seemed that he hadn't slept enough, and went straight down again.
Sure enough, staying up late ruined the day.
It wasn't until the evening that he woke up again, stretched comfortably, and went to the Daimyo's Mansion in his clothes, he did win a great victory last night, but he didn't know what the situation was in the aftermath yet, he had to go and see, if the eight thousand Shifu soldiers could recover half of them, then he Ning Shaoqiu could be regarded as having a 10,000-strong army under his hands.
In addition, there is naturally whether the siege of Shifu is in place, after all, it is almost a day, no matter how backward the news of Shifu is, he should know that Ning Shaoqiu didn't know where to get carts of gold and silver treasures and food last night, with Shi's wide temperament, he can find a way to contact the fortress, if he can't get in touch, what kind of method will he take, it is still unknown, so from now to the day after tomorrow before his birthday banquet, it is the most critical time.
During this time, Ning Shaoqiu had to carefully arrange all his possible back-ups, in case Shi Zhangkuan made a struggle to break the net.
When he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, Ning Shaoqiu hadn't entered the door yet, but he heard bursts of shouts coming from the school field, listening to the voice, not to mention how passionate and high-spirited he was, and under curiosity, Ning Shaoqiu quickened his pace.
