Zhao Ziliang's words were both threatening and insulting, but also deeply contemptuous, a large group of civilian officials were insulted and despised by a military general, coupled with a strong threat, which made these officials both ashamed and worried and afraid.

After a long time, I saw an official stand up and ask, "Why does General Zhao do this?" We are all working together in Panhe County, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, what do you have to ask for, let's find a way to solve it together! ”

Waiting for this sentence, Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, 5,000 stone of grain, 10,000 stone of horse material, within three days to be sent to the Dadou Army barracks, it is considered that the general borrowed from you, you forcibly occupy the people's land, the general should not know, but if there is not so much grain and grass sent to the Dadou Army barracks within three days, yes, the Tubo people are only fifty miles according to this, which angers Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill everyone inside and outside the county government, and then push the matter to the Tubo people!" Do it without knowing it・・・・・・・".

When the officials heard this, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they scolded Zhao Ziliang in their hearts for being insidious and vicious, who said that these rough men have no brains? I can think of such a vicious idea, what to do!

All the officials all have a frightened expression, you look at me, I look at you, everyone knows that this matter is only afraid that it will not be relied upon, I heard that this fool in the capital even the son of the prime minister Li dare to fight, many royal relatives have been planted in the hands of this fool, it is really not easy to provoke, this fool can do it, if you don't give food and horse feed, this fool is only afraid that it will really kill people and then push the matter to the Tubo people.

At this time, Du Shanming, who was lying on the ground, moved, Zhao Ziliang knew that he was awake, and shouted: "Du Shanming, do you still want to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead?" Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now, and then cut off the heads of all the officials in this room? Then report to the king and the imperial court that the Tubo people had attacked the county seat of Panhe and slaughtered all the officials and their families who were deliberating. Ransack the entire county and leave? You may think that Lao Tzu is scaring you, Lao Tzu is not afraid to tell you the truth, now there is no grain in the camp of the Great Dou Army, and the soldiers have been hungry for several days, if it were not for the general's great strength, the hungry soldiers would have ransacked the county seat long ago. Where is it your turn to be happy here? ”

The officials couldn't stand Zhao Ziliang's threats and pressure anymore, and they all accused Du Shanming who was lying on the ground, and one of the officials said unceremoniously: "Lord Du, don't pretend to be dead, this kind of thing, General Zhao can really do it, it doesn't matter if you die alone, don't bother all of us, there is a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old child under the official." Without the lower officials, they can't survive! ”

"That's it, Lord Du, you are a dead pig and are not afraid of boiling water, but we still have to support our families・・・・・・"

County Cheng Gui Donglin was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and said directly: "General, no matter what happens to the others, the lower official is willing to give 500 stone of grain and 800 carts and horses, and the general doesn't need to pay it back." All the officials donated to the Great Fighting Army! ”

Zhao Ziliang was about to praise Gui Donglin, but he didn't expect the county commander Du Shanming to get up from the ground and face Zhao Ziliang. sighed: "The general is really very human, the means are clever, the lower official admitted the planting, the general asked for 5,000 stone of grain and 10,000 stone of horse material, the lower official on behalf of the county officials and gentry agreed, within three days will all be sent to the army!" I just asked the general to let me wait. In the future, you must not ask us for grain and grass again, you must know that the landlord's family has no surplus grain these days! ”

Zhao Ziliang showed a satisfied smile on his face, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha・・・・・・ Lord Du and you are still very aware of the righteousness, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Great Dou Army, General Ben thanked you and the gentry of the county for your generosity and charcoal in the snow!" ”

The smile on Du Shanming's face was very reluctant, and he said, "Where did the general come from." In fact, the lower officials and others also know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, if the Great Dou Army loses its combat strength, my Fanhe County will inevitably be captured by the Tubo people, it is not that the lower officials and others are stingy with these grains and grasses, they are really scared by the insatiable greed of their predecessors before! ”

"Hahaha, understand, understand! Lord Du, everyone, since this is the case, this general will not bother you to discuss how to raise grain and grass, and you don't have to send it now! Zhao Ziliang arched his hand as he spoke, waved his hand to Wang Rare and the others, and strode away.

On the way back, although Wang was surprised by Zhao Ziliang's methods, he was still a little worried: "General, although they agreed to borrow grain, aren't you afraid that Du Shanming will really stab the matter to Lord Wang and Jingshi?" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "What happened to him?" What is he going to accuse of? Sue hit him? You must know that he was disrespectful to General Ben first, can't General Ben, a fourth-grade general, beat him as a sixth-grade official? Besides, a certain person did not interfere in local government affairs, on what basis did he participate in a certain book? The food was borrowed from them by General Ben, and they willingly donated it to the Great Dou Army! He didn't have the courage to poke things up, he lost his face for no reason, once he stabbed it, it was impossible for the top to listen to his words, and he would inevitably send someone down to investigate, and then he would be beaten up and they would not be able to hide what they committed here, even if he didn't care about stabbing it, the other officials would not help him at that time, they would only stand on a certain side and talk! He Du Shanming is not so stupid! ”

Wang rarely sighed: "Listening to the general's words, the last general knows that he is really only suitable for staying in the army, and Dou Xinyan is not the opponent of these dog officers at all!" Before, I saw that the general was young, and I still despised the general, but now it seems that there is a general in charge of the Great Dou Army, and my Great Dou Army is blessed."

Three days later, when there were continuous carriages transporting grain and grass to the Dadou Army barracks, the barracks suddenly fell into a sea of cheers, and after cheering, the soldiers practiced more carefully and hard.

When all the grain and grass were delivered, Zhao Ziliang convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Du Shanming, that dog officer, is quite knowledgeable, and he knows that he has offended our big fighting army and has no good fruit to eat, so he obediently sent all the grain and grass!" ”

"Hahaha・・・・・・・" The generals laughed one after another.

After the generals laughed for a while, Zhao Ziliang pressed his hand and said: "But this kind of thing is indispensable, you can no longer reach out to the local government to ask for money and food, otherwise once you develop this habit, you will not be able to take it, as a soldier, you must not bring a burden to the local government, let alone grab local food, otherwise what is the difference with bandits?" If we hadn't been forced to do anything this time, if it weren't for the fact that these dog officials had gone too far, General Ben would never have done this, this time I would have taught them a lesson at the time, and also sounded a wake-up call for ourselves, if we want food, we will rob the Tubo people, since they can rob us, why can't we rob them? General Ben will plan this matter carefully and then make a calculation, and I called you here today to discuss with you about one thing, five thousand stone of grain and ten thousand stone of forage have been delivered, enough for eight thousand people to eat for more than three months, General Ben thought about it, isn't there a lot of displaced people in various places now? Many of them have not eaten, and many of these fleeing people are pretending to be soldiers, and the general wonders if he can send people to the counties to recruit soldiers, which can not only solve the problem of feeding some of the displaced people, but also supplement the strength of our Great Dou Army, and after recruiting those strong men into the army, it will also reduce the risk of rebellion among the displaced people, I don't know what you think? ”

Wang Rare first stood up and said: "General, if you can recruit soldiers, of course the last general agrees, after all, our army is seriously lacking in strength now, but if we recruit troops on our own, we need to pay the recruits a settlement fee, which is real money, and empty white teeth will not make the people believe it!" But the general also knows that now that our Dadou army is so poor that it is about to be pants, how can we have the money to pay for the settling-in allowance of the recruits? ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "This matter is easy to solve, General Ben came to bring some silver money this time, and he can barely pay the settling-in allowance of 5,000 recruits!" ”

Wang Rare immediately objected: "General, by all means, although the general is a great fighting envoy, the general's money cannot be used for conscription!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "General Ben doesn't want to pay money, but just temporarily lends it to the Great Dou Army, and when he wins the battle in the future, he will be captured, or the food and salary will be allocated above, and then returned to General Ben." Well, that's it! Regarding the matter of conscription, General Ben wants to entrust this matter to General Gao Xiuyan, the commander of the first battalion, what do you think? ”

A general in his twenties and nearly thirty years old got up and walked to the middle of the hall and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Thanks to the general's trust, the last general will do his best to recruit soldiers, with a view to completing the recruitment of 5,000 recruits as soon as possible!" ”

Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay, with General Gao's words, General Ben will be relieved!" Later, you and General Ben will go and collect the money for recruiting soldiers! ”

"No!"

Speaking of Gao Xiuyan, Zhao Ziliang also remembered at this time, this person seems to have left his name in the history books, and the people who can leave his name in the history books are not ordinary people.

After the generals dispersed, Zhao Ziliang wrote a letter, this letter was written to Zheng San in Anxi, now he has gained a firm foothold in the Great Dou Army, and the next thing is to show his strength and do a good job, there must be a person who is responsible for logistics, tuntian, water conservancy, animal husbandry and other matters, and also responsible for the intelligence work here, and this person must be Zheng San.

The letter had only a few words: "Come to Hexi Dadoujun quickly", written on a piece of paper, he rolled the note into a small roll and tied it with a thin rope, called a servant and instructed: "Send the book to Anxi with a flying pigeon!" ”

"No!"

For what he wants to do in Hexi, Zhao Ziliang already has a general idea on the way here, and after arriving at the Great Dou Army, he has made some adjustments, and his colleagues in the training have to fight against the Tubo people, and the intelligence system here must also be established as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to do things with a black eye.
