"Shihua, as soon as I received your letter, I rushed over non-stop, if it wasn't true, beware of me beating you." This time, Tian Jiafu came the fastest, entered the study, and asked while pouring tea for himself.

"What's the hurry? When those two bastards arrive, I'll tell you more about it. ”

"Good!"

In response, Tian Jiafu added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and sat cross-legged on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, and Wang Shihua still practiced calligraphy.

Nearly an hour later, as soon as Li Honghui, who arrived at the end of the year, entered the door, Wang Shihua closed the door, sat down at the table, and said to the three of them: "Do you still remember that after my Wang family's fleet was attacked, I captured a few of Tian Haozi's subordinates?" ”

"It's rare to see you lose face, who will forget? Shihua, you continue. ”

One of the captives said that there was a woman behind Tian Hezi who was supporting him. Now, I know where the woman is. ”

"Address?" Xiang Dingtian's face was straight, his eyes sank, and he asked.

"She has already colluded with Old Man Xiao and wants to support Old Man Xiao, so that she can plant a nail in the territory of our four major families and squeeze us out." This is one of the main means of expansion of the four major families, and they naturally know each other's purposes.

"Shihua, although I can't inquire about the details, lest you suspect me of spying on you, however, this matter is very important, and I want you to assure you: At this moment, that woman is still in Old Man Xiao's house?"

"I have sent people to watch around Xiaojiazhai and send me a telegram back every two hours. This is a telegram received half an hour ago. ”

There were just four words on the telegram: Birds in the nest! The meaning is clear at a glance...... This is He Mei's idea for Wang Shihua: Although Xiao Bing's strength is not as good as the four major families, there are thousands of people and horses, if the trapped beasts are still fighting, relying on the Wang family alone, there will be major damage, so the other three families must also be involved, so that the risk can be evenly shared. It just so happens that the identity of this mysterious woman is the best excuse, with He Mei's shrewdness, how can she let it go? Of course, in view of the fact that Old Man Xiao still owes Zhao Tianming hundreds of heads, if such a mortal enemy is not used, I am too sorry for He Mei's IQ.

"Shihua, since you have been prepared, I believe you have also thought of a good solution to solve it. Let's talk about it, a few brothers can help you pick up the missing pieces. ”

"The solution is to think of it, but I have to ask you first, after catching this woman, what should we do with Old Man Xiao?"

"Then what else is there to talk about, since Old Man Xiao is looking for death on the pole, if our four major families don't follow his wishes, outsiders still think that our four major families are easy to bully."

Wang Shihua nodded, walked quickly to the bookshelf, took out a map, spread it on the table, pointed to Xiao Bing's territory, and said, "There are no outsiders, don't pretend to be there, let's talk straight, how to divide it?" ”

After several arguments, Xiao Bing's territory was allocated in advance by the four major families: with Xiaojiazhai twenty miles east of the boundary, the Wang family sent 3,000 troops and obtained Xiaojiazhai and a large area of land in the northwest, which greatly alleviated the Wang family's next solution to the housing and cultivation problems of the new clansmen; Pingtou Town and its northeast, returned to Xiangjia, sent 4,000 troops, so that the entire county and its surrounding dozens of miles were regarded as being rounded by Xiangjia; The southeast belonged to the Li family, and 3,000 troops were dispatched, which was conducive to controlling the trade routes between Jiangyin County and Fenghuang County. The Tian family is the most unwilling, because in this way, the Tian family suffers from the enemy on the belly and back, but the reality is so cruel, Tian Jiafu has no choice but to fight for the fiercest at the negotiation table, and finally, with 5,000 troops, he obtained a large area of mountains and forests in the southwest, the largest area, which is beneficial to the strategic detour space of the Tian family, and relieves the pressure of the enemy on the belly and back...... For such a partition, no matter what aspect it is, except for the Tian family, the other three families are very satisfied.

After the partition, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and everyone reconciled as before.

"Shihua, since the territory has been divided, then, you and Jiafu go to deal with Xiaojiazhai, and Pingtou Town will be handed over to me and Hong Hui, how about it?" Xiang Dingtian smiled excitedly: "Don't worry, I will never give a penny of the wealth of Xiaojiazhai, as long as you can guarantee to capture the woman and her accomplices alive!" ”

Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and said with a wry smile: "Why did I forget this guy?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you remember when I fought with my family last year?" Seeing that everyone subconsciously looked over, the other two also glanced at Tian Jiafu with great meaning, Tian Jiafu's face sank, and he looked at Wang Shihua coldly: Boy, you are cheap and good, don't you slap me in the face in public?

didn't dare to give them a chance to come back to their senses and object, and didn't bother to explain to Tian Jiafu, Wang Shihua hurriedly said: "At that time, Old Man Xiao intervened from the side and made Zhao Jiazhai pay hundreds of more heads for nothing. Therefore, he joined forces with me later to teach Old Man Xiao a lesson. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that everyone came to their senses, Wang Shihua smiled faintly and said: "Several, fighting is to kill people, I think it's better to throw the most difficult bones to the lord of Zhao Zhai, what do you think?" ”

"This is a good solution, let them fight to the death, and we will wait to reap the benefits."

"Hong Hui, having said that, but our four major families have jointly cleaned up a bandit, and we still have to find outsiders to help, this matter is going to get out, do our four major families still have the face to see people?"

"Dingtian is right! Not only is it a shame, but also, when the time comes, how will the seizures be distributed? ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at Wang Shihua again: The other party's territory has been divided, and it is naturally the turn of the other party's wealth. But Wang Shihua is the initiator, and he has the most information, so he has to listen to his opinion first.

"I think that in order to boost the morale of the people below, whatever is seized belongs to the family."

"I'm for it." Just now, in order to prevent Zhao Tianming from getting involved, Tian Jiafu and Xiang Dingtian objected, but now, Tian Jiafu turned to support Wang Shihua. Because according to the rules of ancient times, each family's territory is fought for, Tian Jiafu in order to get the most piece, sent the most troops, naturally is the main force to attack Xiaojiazhai, the Wang family ranks second, and the other two will only divide troops to assist outside Pingtou Town, where the Xiao army is stationed. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the seizure belonged to himself, how could he let the wealth of Xiao Jiazhai, which had been fought so hard, be taken out and shared equally with everyone? To put it bluntly, just two words - interests! In his eyes, dead people are nothing, and when the Tian family recovers, they can recruit troops again. And wealth and land are the roots, otherwise, what do you take to raise soldiers?

After speaking, seeing that the other two did not express their position, he smiled and said: "Dingtian, Hong Hui, since my family is the main force, I have to have a little say in everything, and I can't let my family die without compensation." ”

Xiang Dingtian glanced at Tian Jiafu, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't speak, but Li Honghui said a little unwillingly: "You can let Zhao Tianming be the main force~!" ”

"Our four major families do things, but let others take the main role, where is the face? Besides, when you think Zhao Tianming is a three-year-old child, you can cheat as much as you want? ”

"I'm afraid that even if you don't want him to be the main force at that time, he will have to be!" Li Honghui also became angry, and after replying, he said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "That's hundreds of heads." ”

"Okay, okay, you haven't done it yet, you two are fighting over this, is it interesting?" Wang Shihua saw that the more they talked, the more angry they became, and hurriedly persuaded: "Is this so?" Ding Tian and Hong Hui went to share the wealth of Pingtou Town, how to divide it yourself. My family and I share the things of Xiaojiazhai. As for other places, according to the rules of ancient times, it depends on their own abilities. However, in order for Zhao Tianming to take the lead, each of our families had to give a quarter of the seizure to Zhao Tianming. ”

According to the agreement of the four major families since ancient times: in order to prevent the other family from crossing the border and looting on their own territory, when the time comes, as long as their own small flag is planted on the door of the people's house, it means that the family is their own clan, and other families are not allowed to do anything to it...... This rule, the precautionary is to be afraid of the bottom-up fight between the four major families. Otherwise, in the morning you have sacked my territory, and in the afternoon I will take revenge on your territory, looting and looting, and both will lose.

The three of them thought about it, slapped the table to Ding Tian, and said, "Okay!" That's it. Lest we continue to make any more noise, Old Man Xiao hasn't been killed yet, so we will fight first. ”

The top two have unified their opinions, and the last two naturally have no opinions, besides, this distribution is the fairest.

"I have the experience of attacking Old Man Xiao, and this time, I am the commander-in-chief. Let's talk about it first, when the time comes, no matter who dares to disobey the order, or deliberately procrastinates, don't blame me Wang Shihua for not saying hello in advance. ”

"I have no opinion, but you have to tell us the plan first, so that we can analyze it for you."

Although it is possible that the news may leak if the plan is leaked in advance, if it is not spoken, everyone will definitely worry that Wang Shihua will use his people as cannon fodder, which is not conducive to unity.

There is no way, Wang Shihua can only say it little by little.

More than two hours later, the four of them swore a poisonous oath with their respective ancestors, and the alliance was completed, and they left the palace one after another and went home to prepare, because Wang Shihua was afraid of long nights and dreams, and even more afraid that the woman would leave suddenly, so he set the time for the attack to be seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

Wang Shihua sent them to the gate of the palace all the time, and after they left, he put his hands behind his back, turned to his side and ordered: "Send a telegram to Zhao Tianming, and say that I have finished discussing with the other three families, and I have discussed it with him before, so let him not worry." As for the specific details, I will discuss them after I meet with him. ”

As he walked, he lowered his head and thought about things, and suddenly felt that there was someone in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw He Mei standing in front of him with a smile.

"Aunt He, what a good thing can make you happy like this? Tell me about it, let me have fun too. ”

"It's not a good thing." He Meifeng said lightly: "It's just that the batch of weapons and ammunition was obtained very smoothly." ”

"Really...... Ouch~! Let go, let go! ”

"Little bastard, is it real? If you can't even do this little thing, when I He Xiangu's name is called for nothing? If you don't fight for three days, you dare to go to the house to uncover the tiles, right? ”

"Yes! Be...... No! I apologized for saying the wrong thing. Wang Shihua rubbed his left ear, looked behind him very depressedly, and saw that the guards were very interested in bowing their heads, even Tie Niu was like this, and he couldn't find a target to vent, so he could only get closer and say to He Mei: "Aunt He, don't twist my ears after speaking, why are you still like this?" ”

"Did I promise?"

"You ......" does not have the status of master and apprentice, but it has the reality of master and apprentice. As a disciple, as long as you can learn the real skills, what is it to be twisted in public, bear with it!

Seeing He Mei turn around and leave, Wang Shihua could only trot a few steps to keep up, and asked with a smile: "Aunt He, tell me quickly, how did you arrange it?" ”
