Wanling County, county hall.

As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and now Li Zhi's tens of thousands of troops are stationed dozens of miles away from the county seat, and they may be killed at any time; Although it is said that cavalry is not easy to attack the city, it should not be careless; From Li Zhi's raid on the military camp to the battle against Zhang Meng, and then to the decisive retreat after seeing the rejection of the horse formation, it can be seen that Li Zhi is not only superb in martial arts, resourceful, but also able to judge the situation; Dealing with such a person is the most troublesome, maybe at any time I will give you a plan, so that people can't guard against it. In the lobby, except for Huang Quan, who cleaned the city gate and arranged defense, the rest of the people participated in this temporary meeting; Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, Jia Hui, Wu Cheng, Jiang Li and more than a dozen important lieutenants in the army; A total of more than 20 people stood on both sides of the lobby waiting for Hou Wangxu to speak. "Take Qian Hui and Zhao Tan!".

Wang Xu gave an order, and outside the palace, there were four personal soldiers under Zhang Meng's command who walked in with two grizzled people, pushed Qian Hui and Zhao Tan down in the lobby, and then slowly retreated.

"Qian Hui and Zhao Tan, are you two guilty?" Wang Xu's eyes widened, and he said coldly.

Qian Hui and Zhao Tan were just intimidated by Zhang Meng, and at this time they were forcibly escorted into the lobby, frightened, their minds were blank, and when they heard Wang Xu ask, Nuo Nuo replied: "Know the crime."

Wang Xu continued to ask, "How to sin?" ”。 Qian Hui and Zhao Tan sweated like rain, kneeling and trembling under the hall; Qian Hui trembled and said, "General, I shouldn't stop the general from entering the city."

"It's good to know, just because of your obstruction, our army has suffered heavy casualties, how should this account be calculated?"

Qian Hui and Zhao Tan rolled their eyes, and dozens of people were killed and injured, and they were also called heavy casualties; If you want to say that there are heavy casualties, it should be the three major families, not only did they kill hundreds of them, but even Li Lingfeng was killed on the spot, and the remaining more than 2,000 private soldiers were also captured. Although they muttered in their hearts, the two of them didn't dare to say it to their faces; I had to laugh and say: "General, we are willing to compensate; Whether it is gold, silver, money or food, as long as we have it, we are willing to give it to the general, and I only ask the general to spare the two of us."

Wang Xu smiled casually: "It's about the same."

Jia Hui stepped out and said: "Lord, our army has been away from Languan for many days, and the grain and grass will be exhausted; If the two heads of the family, Zhao and Qian, are willing to sponsor them, their subordinates think that they can spare them for the time being, and leave them for later atonement." "Do you hear me? Three thousand denier grain buys a life! Do you have food? ”。

"Three thousand deniers?" The two of them were shocked, this is too much! Three thousand deniers of grain is a big number, and it is the ration of hundreds of family members for many years; Now there is a great drought, and grain is more expensive than gold; Even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Wang Xu's expression was cold, he took a deep breath, and shouted: "If the two of you can't get six thousand denier food, you will die!" Death and punishment, think about it! ”。 Qian Hui and Zhao Tan still have any objections now, as long as they can save their lives, there are not many opportunities to make money in the future; Although there is a little more grain for 3,000 deniers, it is still available for the three major families.

"I'm going to be punished!". Wang Xu smiled secretly, or is it right, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, the army is very important, and force is inevitable; Without absolute force, you don't want to gain the respect and awe of others. In other words, if he loses at the hands of the three major families today, it will not be Qian Hui and Zhao Tan who kneel below, but himself; In this regard, Wang Xu thought very clearly, there is no need to show mercy to this kind of family power; Anyway, their money comes from the common people, and it is likely that it will be more scraped and more hateful than the local county decree. "Sun Yu listens to orders!".

Wang Xu ordered: "You immediately lead troops to raid the Li Mansion, all the family property in the Li Mansion will be confiscated, and all the clansmen will be handed over to the Wu County Order."

After a pause, Wang Xu continued: "As for the Qian family and the Zhao family, as long as they can come up with six thousand denier of grain, they will be released; However, the Qian family and the Zhao family's mansion must be guarded by people, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

After Sun Yu received the order, he immediately called a few armor soldiers, and escorted Qian Hui and Zhao Tan straight to the outside of the lobby.

In the royal city and in the royal palace.

In the Chengqian Palace, Zhou Yi looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, his face was smiling, but he was also a little annoyed; After Zhou Yi finished reading it, he put down the bamboo slip and said: "This is the front-line military report, Li Zhi said, yesterday our army raided Wang Xu's remnants, although one of them was not annihilated, but this battle also caused heavy casualties to the enemy, Li Zhi killed tens of thousands of enemies, but." After a pause, Zhou Yi continued: "But Wang Xu's army captured Wanling County, and used the tall city to resist our army's elite cavalry, and Li Zhi asked me to send troops to help."

"Hmph, tens of thousands of elite riders can't destroy a little Wang Xu, it's ridiculous!" Aguche had just received a hundred military staffs, and when he heard Li Zhi's victory on the front line, he couldn't help but feel remorse, so he laughed loudly.

As soon as he saw Aguche, Zhou Yi was angry and roared angrily: "You have the ability!" Before I went out, I lost 8,000 fine horses, and you lost all the face of this king."

Aguche pursed his lips, speechless, and silently stepped aside.

"Order, immediately give Li Zhi 20,000 more troops, so that he must destroy Wang Xu in the shortest possible time!" Wen Qing came out and asked rhetorically: "Lord Wang, is 20,000 troops too much?" ”。

"Then how many troops should be given to Li Zhi according to your opinion?"

Wen Qing said: "Lord Wang, although Lu Yang's 50,000 border troops have no intention of offending me for the time being, we have no choice but to do it, now the strength of Wangcheng is only 60,000, except for the 20,000 forbidden army, 5,000 defenders of the outer city, and 5,000 Yulin army, there are only 30,000 people who can fight; If another 20,000 are sent, his subordinates are worried that Lu Yang will take the opportunity to lead his troops to come, and then the royal city will be in danger, so I hope the prince will think twice! ”。

"So do you want to increase your troops or not?" Wen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Xujun has just experienced a fiasco, and his troops have been frustrated, so why be afraid; Although it is based on Wanling County, it is not a cause for concern; According to the opinion of his subordinates, an additional 10,000 troops is sufficient; In addition, the county commanders of several counties around Wanling County can be allowed to send troops to help, and General Li will dispatch them in a unified manner, so that General Li has nearly 30,000 troops in his hands, how can he not take down Wang Xu's more than 10,000 remnants."

"Okay, according to what Qing played, immediately give Li Zhi 10,000 troops; Linghuijing, Shangling and other counties fully cooperated with Li Zhi's unified dispatch; Tell Li Zhi that if the 30,000 army can't wipe out Wang Xu's more than 10,000 remnants, then he doesn't have to come back! Zhou Yi said coldly. (Continue to ask for recommendations, ask for collections, thank you!) The results of this book are dismal, and friends have a lot of support.)
