"Not only do they have to return immediately, but they also have to immediately send a job to Xiang's granary on the outskirts of the county to have a look."

Seeing the herald looking at Wang Shihua, He Mei said angrily: "Wait, go quickly!" ”

The herald did not dare to delay, so he ran away.

"Aunt He, do you suspect that the Xiang family has been prepared for a long time, so they are waiting for the second uncle and them to throw themselves into the net, so that they can eat thousands of them in one bite?"

"Yes!" He Mei thought for a while and said: "If something happens to Lao Peng, you immediately order an attack, and the preparation that the Xiang family has not been able to have will definitely catch them off guard, but now, you have rushed back from Chongqing, and it has been delayed all night, and the Xiang family must be prepared...... Let people go to the granary on the outskirts of the county to check, isn't everything clear? ”

"Even if they are ready, they can't be my Wang family's opponents."

"Shihua, don't be careless, don't forget, there are two other ones." Saying that, He Mei smiled faintly and said: "Although we are sure of dealing with the Xiang family, we also have to guard against the sneak attacks of the other two, after all, three pulls and one is a game rule that has been handed down since ancient times." It's not that easy to get rid of this rule. ”

"You're right, I remember."

Soon, Wang Jiping sent a telegram: Sure enough, as He Mei expected, although the granary of Xiang's family on the outskirts of the county was brightly lit, it was an empty city, and it was already empty.

He Mei's face turned cold, and she ordered: "Let the monkey lead people to immediately transport all the grain in the granary into the county seat." ”

"Aunt He, there are still tens of thousands of catties of grain in the granary of the county seat, how can so much grain be transported at once?"

"How much can you transport." He Mei's face was solemn, and she said coldly: "If the enemy sneaks up, immediately burn the surplus grain to block the enemy's offensive, and you must not leave the enemy a grain of grain." ”

Wang Shihua nodded and said, "Just do what Aunt He said." ”

After the herald ran down, He Mei stepped forward and stood side by side with Wang Shihua, looking at the torches below like stars, extending to the hillside, but the atmosphere was solemn and silent because of what was about to happen. He Mei asked in a low voice: "Shihua, if you want to fight against the Xiang family, you haven't mobilized Xiang Dingkun?" ”

Xiang Dingkun and Xiang Dingtian have a hatred for taking their wives, and they are like fire and water, isn't it stupid not to find such a good helper?

"Yes!" Wang Shihua leaned closer and whispered: "I agreed with Xiang Dingkun that once I control the Xiang family's manpower in the county seat, I will help him defend the city, and when my Wang family's army arrives, he will be responsible for the security of Uncle Tiger's rear......"

"Conditions?"

"After the matter is completed, the county seat will be under his jurisdiction, and my Wang family will never send a single soldier."

He Mei nodded slightly, but her eyes were stunned, obviously thinking.

After a while, she said with a cold look in her eyes: "Shihua, let Uncle Tiger lead the team to the county seat and directly hand over the weapons of Xiang Dingkun's people." ”

"Aunt He, why is this?" Surrendered the weapons of the allies, which can be greatly disadvantageous to the royal family.

"The survival of the family cannot allow a trace of unstable factors to exist."

"But Xiang Dingkun and Xiang Dingtian have a hatred for taking his wife, and his aunt was also angry with Xiang Dingtian, with this hatred, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Shihua, you are talking about their personal feud, if the head of the Xiang family personally goes to make amends to Xiang Dingkun and then promises heavy profits, do you think Xiang Dingkun will watch you destroy the Xiang family? Do you think Xiang Dingkun won't think about the consequences...... Shihua, Xiang Dingkun is also surnamed Xiang after all! ”

Wang Shihua was silent.

"It's a big deal, find out the pros and cons with the county magistrate, ask him to help, and find an excuse to justifiably hand over the weapons of Xiang Dingkun. I think that County Magistrate Fang is probably happy to watch the play at this time and make a profit. Therefore, I dare to conclude that County Magistrate Fang will definitely agree to your suggestion, after all, once our Wang family is finished, the Xiang family will definitely take advantage of the situation to drive him away. ”

Wang Shihua hurriedly sent someone to send a telegram to the county magistrate Fang.

Sure enough, the county magistrate immediately called back: 50,000 oceans, and promised not to obstruct the implementation of the government's decree afterwards. For this kind of extortion, Wang Shihua could only pinch his nose and admit it. However, although the county magistrate Fang helped the Wang family, he was also slightly out of He Mei's judgment: he did not hand over the weapons of the security group, but took the security team out of the city to run errands, making it clear that the two would not help each other, and handed over the county seat to the Wang family to defend, which indirectly saved the reputation of the Wang family. In fact, he also reached an agreement with the Xiang family not to invade the county seat, of course, he did not tell Wang Shihua this news, but it was equivalent to indirectly restraining part of the Wang family's troops, and achieving his goal of letting the two families fight to the death...... It can be seen that there are no fools who can be officials.

"Did Shirong and Shifu respond?"

"Nope!" Speaking of these two brothers, Wang Shihua couldn't help but complain: "These two idiots went out for a walk, their wings were stiff, and they dared to forget their ancestors." Especially Wang Shifu, he didn't want to think about how he got his official position? That was what Lao Tzu exchanged for a pair of white jade lions and favors...... Hum! When this is over, see how I clean them up. ”

In Wang Shihua's eyes, Wang Shirong's regiment, its backbone strength is a tough battle with devils, the rest of the battle of the top soldiers, its combat effectiveness is absolutely strong, if this regiment is allowed to attack the rear of the home, plus their own army to press the border, the possibility of a war is very great. Although Wang Shifu's regiment is not as effective as Wang Shirong's regiment, it is more critical because he controls the aircraft. Think about it, if Wang Shifu sent a large group of bombers to turn the people who bombed Xiang Jiazhai on their backs, Xiang Jia would still have the ability to resist? Taking a step back, even if the soldiers on both sides meet each other on the frontal battlefield of the general, given that the Xiang family has no air defense force, even if these fighters do not participate in the battle, they only need to hover over the heads of the soldiers and horses of the Xiang family, and they can deter the Xiang family from demoralizing...... It's a pity that two telegrams were sent to the two of them in a row, but they sank into the sea, which made Wang Shihua angry when he thought about it - obviously many people could die less, but because they didn't help, everyone had to fight hand-to-hand.

"What's the use of talking about this now? It's a good thing that they don't call back. Speaking of this, seeing Wang Shihua looking at him puzzled, He Mei smiled: "They didn't call back, but they didn't announce that they would not join the war." In this way, it is equivalent to holding two cards in your hand. Especially for the Li family and the Tian family, if they want to help the Xiang family, they have to consider the cost of the two of them in case of a sneak attack from behind, so that the two of them dare not send troops to help the Xiang family without scruples. And the Xiang family also has to be prepared for a sneak attack by Shirong at any time, and the troops will inevitably be contained...... So, Shihua, don't push them too hard, let's fight the big battle with Xiangjia first. ”

Knowing that He Mei was saying comforting words, Wang Shihua could only accept it helplessly.

At this time, the generals came to Wang Shihua's side in full gear.

Wang Shihua glanced at them, and saw that everyone looked solemn, but his eyes were shining with excitement, he nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Tang Ming: "Old Tang, your reconnaissance company has a heavy responsibility, and you must not be careless. ”

The reconnaissance company, like the spy company, was a hundred people, divided into ten squads. And this time it is related to the survival of the family, and the left and right armies have each transferred 100 people early to form the reconnaissance companies of their respective armies, and the reconnaissance companies are assigned to each of them...... Whether the army will be attacked or not depends on their reconnaissance capabilities. In fact, since ancient times, reconnaissance companies have been carefully selected and absolutely elite, and they are also the first to come into contact with the enemy, the most fierce fighting, and the unit with the highest proportion of casualties, just because they have to face the enemy's counterparts, and in addition to reconnoitering the enemy's situation, killing the opponent's reconnaissance personnel is also one of the important tasks. It can be said that they are the tentacles of the army.

"Don't worry, I know the severity."

After speaking, he saluted Wang Shihua, turned around and strode away.

Wang Shihua told Uncle Tiger about what he had just discussed with He Mei, and asked him to change the plan slightly, and after Uncle Tiger nodded, it happened that the war drums stopped. Wang Shihua took a step forward and solemnly shouted to Jiang Shoucheng under the city wall: "Shoucheng, is the count finished?" ”

"Go home, except for the Baojing Regiment (the Baojing Regiment said that it was a regiment, and it was definitely no worse than a brigade. Ten field battalions, each with six hundred men. Six garrison battalions (they are all militia nature, stationed in Wangjiaping, Guanhuzhai and other places on weekdays, to put it bluntly, they are all the regular defense forces of the Wang family in the past, but they are just different names.) But there is a considerable disparity in their numbers. Xianglei Gongshan, there are more than 400 people, but there are more than 2,700 people in Qinghua Village, not to mention the main strongholds of Guanhu Village and Wangjiaping, it can almost be said that they are over fifteen years old, and under fifty years old, everyone is counted as a person in this battalion), a sailor battalion (more than 2,400 people, naturally all in Flying Shark Village). The rest are all in place. There were eighteen thousand three hundred and twenty-seven men. Among them, in addition to the Baojing Regiment and Lao Sicheng, there were 5,339 male soldiers and 4,921 female soldiers. ”

The prosperity of Longtang Town, coupled with Wang Shihua's vigorous expansion of this town, has made the long-term population here about 18,000 people, and now more than 10,000 people have been transferred at once, which can be regarded as emptying Longtang Town.

"Weapons and ammunition are sufficient?"

"It's all right."

At this moment, I saw a team of horses with torches, slowly approaching, and as they approached, the cry gradually became clear...... In the end, the 53 bodies were pulled to the front of the procession by more than 20 carriages, and hundreds of people dressed in linen and filial piety also followed while crying.

Everyone quietly looked at the white cloth covering the corpse, listening to the wail, everyone's faces were solemn, anger began to rise in their hearts, and the hand holding the handle of the fire couldn't help but tighten.

When the carriage stopped, these linen and filial piety people rushed to the city wall where Wang Shihua was, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and wailed: "The master of the family! My relatives were brutally murdered by Xiang family, and I begged the head of the family to avenge them......"

"The head of the family, kill people from his family, deceive people too much, ask the head of the family to be the master for us......"

"This kind of massacre is intolerable, and it is a great shame for my royal family. Pray that the Lord of the House will lead us to avenge our hatred......"

The voice was full of tears, the voice was blood, but in the end, it converged into one sentence - "Ask the master of the family to avenge our shame!" ”

Wang Shihua took the microphone handed by Ergouzi, waved his hand, and the voice below disappeared quickly......
