When night falls, the bright moon is in the sky, and the coolness is infinite; Under a big tree in the backyard of the mansion, Wang Xu moved a wooden table out of the house, carved something on it with an ancient ingot knife, and carved it after a while, looked at Zhang Xue lying on the table, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, we won't compete in the future, come, big brother will teach you to play chess."

The little girl pouted and said, "Big brother, what's so fun about playing chess, let's practice swords."

Wang Xu wiped his cold sweat, if he taught himself like Huang Quan, then he would definitely be willing, but compared to this little girl, it is easy to get hurt, in order to make himself less injured in the future, Wang Xu decided to teach the girl to play chess.

"Sister, you see, this chess game is much more fun than practicing martial arts."

The little girl will be suspicious and Wang Xu down, the first three games Wang Xu won, the fourth game draw, the fifth game Zhang Xue won.

"Big brother, your skills are so poor, I don't like to finish with you."

Wang Xu picked up the chess pieces on the table and said, "Sister, don't be too arrogant, don't you see that my brother is letting you?" This chess game is taught to you by your brother, how can the master not be able to play the apprentice, you say? ”

The little girl thought about it and felt that what Wang Xu said was very reasonable, but the little girl felt that her chess skills would not be worse than that of the eldest brother, and after putting the chess pieces on the table, she said: "Big brother, come again, if you lose again this time, we will change to sword practice in the future."

"Why? If I lose, you can teach me chess in the future." Zhang Xue smiled and said, "Big brother, don't you often say that being with someone who is too stupid will lower your IQ."

"Hey, you little girl, who are you stupid."

The two of them were getting up, Huang Quan, Sun Yu, and Zhang Meng walked in with more than a dozen soldiers carrying several large boxes, and after putting down the boxes, the soldiers walked out, Huang Quan said: "Lord, I just forced Zhu Yu to confess, and I learned from him that the money and grain taxes in Languan City, all the military salaries, gold and silver are here, a total of three thousand taels of gold, and there are 10,000 deniers of grain in the warehouse of the East School Field." "So much?" Wang Xu was really surprised, he didn't expect that there would be so much money and food in a small checkpoint, so there would be more in Minglan County. Although this Minglan County is a fief of the Hou Ye, in the final analysis, this is just a county, and the jurisdiction is not more than a hundred miles, where did so much gold and silver come from, but these are not important, and now they are in their own hands, and they are their own. "Okay, take all these away when you return to Jingliao, it's not clear how many victims there are in Jingliao County, with this money and food, the people of Jingliao will be saved."

In fact, Wang Xu kept all this money and grain for himself, not all for the people of Jingliao County, but more than half for himself; Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; Now Wang Xu doesn't know the situation in Wangcheng, but from today's battle with Zhu Yu, Wang Xu has sensed that the situation is wrong, in the past, the county soldiers did not dare to confront him head-on, so they had to disguise themselves as bandits and bandits to hide their identities, but in today's battle of Languan, the officers and soldiers are abnormal, and they dare to risk the world's great inaction and confront themselves head-on as officers and soldiers, what does this mean?

He is the person of the prince, and the prince hates himself to the core, if the prince has any accidents, or the prince succeeds in seizing the throne, then the first person to eliminate the prince may be himself, if he does not plan to cultivate his own strength in advance, then in the near future, it may be himself who will die.

"Lord, we have killed more than 2,000 brothers in the battle today, and I have buried them outside Languan City."

"They are all good brothers" Wang Xu knew very well in his heart that half of the more than 2,000 brothers who died were killed by his own command mistakes, but Wang Xu would not admit his mistakes, just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, as the master of the people, he should know his mistakes and correct his mistakes without admitting his mistakes.

"Sun Yu, I asked you to count the results, how is the inventory?"

Sun Yu grinned and said, "Lord, we have made a fortune; Together with the armor and weapons I took from the two thousand soldiers, we have harvested five thousand sets of armor, three thousand spears, five thousand horizontal swords, two thousand longbows, and twenty thousand arrows; In addition, three thousand taels of gold and ten thousand deniers of grain."

"Hehe, it seems that we will attack the city more in the future, although this battle is hard, but the harvest is not small, we still have more than 5,000 soldiers left, tomorrow will send these armor and weapons down, so that we can rest for a day, and from the day after tomorrow, we will go to Jingliao with food."

"No".

Zhang Meng listened to Sun Yu's results, smiled and said loudly: "Lord, you give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will beat Minglan County down for you in half a day, there are many more things in it than this."

"Haha," the crowd laughed.

Huang Quan said: "Bald, don't worry, you have to fight, Minglan County has suffered such a big loss this time, how can you stop with us, when they raise troops to attack in the future, it is not too late for us to take his Minglan County, now we still have to send grain to Jingliao County as soon as possible, the people of Jingliao are still waiting for the food in our hands to save their lives."

Wang Xu and Sun Yu nodded at the same time, agreeing with Huang Quan's statement, Sun Yu said: "Lord, there are still 5,200 people left in our army, and I plan to keep 200 people to protect the lord's security, which can be regarded as the lord's personal soldiers; For the remaining 5,000 people, after discussing with Huang Quan, I decided to build 2,000 sword and shield men, 2,000 pikemen, and 1,000 archers. ”

"Okay, let's arrange it like this, the two hundred personal soldiers are led by Zhang Meng."

Zhang Meng assured loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, with me Zhang Meng here, no one will want to hurt you half a hair."

"Well, bald, take Xiaoxue back, everyone is tired today, let's rest early."

Zhang Xue didn't do it now, and said angrily: "Big brother, how can you do this, I can kill you immediately, you come here again, my little sister won't play with you in the future."

"Little sister, we can only count it as a tie in this game, it's late, go back with your brother."

Zhang Meng grabbed the little girl and threatened: "If you can't go back, I will put you in the camp tomorrow and embroider, and the cloth has been bought for you."

The little girl looked aggrieved, and shouted as she walked: "Big brother, remember to come to save me tomorrow morning, I don't want to embroider, if you don't come, I will ignore you for three days."

Wang Xu nodded quietly, and the little girl made a grimace and walked obediently to the outside of the mansion; Zhang Meng looked dazed, he was reluctant to leave just now, why was he so happy to leave now.

Everyone left, and the courtyard returned to calm (continue to ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and if you have a ticket, vote for me, bow and thank you at 90 degrees in the night)
