Chapter Fifty-Six: Controlling Their Heads and Dividing Their Hands and Feet
Zong Baichuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's a bit too hasty to merge with Yan Baocai now. Not only will this cost us some of our strength, but we will also not be able to settle Yan Baocai's men and horses. Kill them all, impossible; Adapted, we lack an in-depth understanding of these people, and the time is too rushed, which may be easy to bury hidden dangers for ourselves; In addition, once Yan Baocai dies, the people who stay outside are likely to become stragglers, and it will not be easy to clean up. ”
Yang Tianfeng sat down and pondered, Zong Baichuan is an old man, he wants to solve the problem once and for all, it seems that he has thought simply. At the very least, killing Yan and Wu alone was not enough to solve all the problems.
"It should be better to keep Yan Baocai in the city, with only a small number of guards, and to control him than to kill him." Zong Baichuan continued: "Wu Yuansheng, you can give him a military position and stay with the young master to monitor him, so that the people below them will not dare to act rashly......
Yang Tianfeng smiled knowingly, stretched out his thumb to Zong Baichuan, and said, "Good strategy, Sect Elder is clever in this move." ”
It is indeed a safer and more ingenious way to control its head first, and then slowly disperse its hands and feet. Although the effect is slower, it can maintain local stability as soon as possible.
The decision was decided, and the three of them discussed it again, and Yang Tianfeng appeared in front of Yan Baocai and Wu Yuansheng in a brand-new and straight national * army uniform.
Yan Baocai and Wu Yuansheng were both stunned when they saw Yang Tianfeng dressed like this, but Wu Yuansheng reacted quickly, and immediately smiled flatteringly: "Congratulations, congratulations, Young Master Yang has been promoted, don't forget our brother!" ”
For this kind of compliment that Chinese people are accustomed to, Yang Tianfeng just smiled faintly, sat opposite the two, and looked at them intriguingly, until their uneasy expressions became heavier and heavier, and then he said slowly: "Two, I haven't slept in the middle of the night, what should I do in the future, I always have an idea, right?" ”
Yan Baocai blinked his eyes and said with some confusion: "Idea? It's been there for a long time, we quit the city and go back to Yanjiazhai. ”
Yang Tianfeng pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile, at this time and that time, the Japanese devils are finished, and the purpose of temporarily stabilizing you has been achieved, shouldn't we talk about the conditions again now? This Yan Baocai, who is simple-minded, is indeed not a qualified opponent.
Wu Yuansheng was much smarter than Yan Baocai, he at least knew the truth of going with him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Young Master Yang, we are stupid, please give me a clear way." ”
Yang Tianfeng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "This is very simple, Brother Yan and I used to work together very happily, emotionally I am really reluctant to Brother Yan, so I will have to ask Brother Yan for help in the future!" As for Mr. Wu, he is resourceful, and I am also thirsty for talent! ”
"That, Brother Yang doesn't want us to withdraw?" Yan Baocai was very nervous, and asked brotherly: "We will never be an enemy of Brother Yang in the future, and I ask Brother Yang to believe this." ”
"yes, yes!" Wu Yuansheng also hurriedly confessed: "Brother Yang is far-sighted, and there are tiger warriors, how dare we go against you, as long as we can keep one of the land, we will be satisfied." ”
Yang Tianfeng smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "Brother Yan's men and horses still have to be withdrawn, but Brother Yan can stay in the city, the living environment here is much more comfortable than in the countryside." Mr. Wu's words are also wrong, if you can keep a piece of land, then you have to have a name! So, I've arranged it for both of you. My brother has just been appointed by the prefectural government, and I have been appointed as the head of the prefectural self-defense force. I asked Brother Yan to give up to the deputy captain, and Mr. Wu to be the chief of staff for my brother. How, I'm thoughtful, right? ”
Thoughtful, very thoughtful, Wu Yuansheng secretly complained to himself, now he has become a rat in a cage, and he can no longer move freely.
He originally wanted to follow Yang Tianfeng's previous practice, hide in the old nest, keep his light and keep his eyes on it, and move at the right time. But Yang Tianfeng was obviously very uneasy about them, and wanted to blackmail the princes of the Son of Heaven. What deputy captain, what chief of staff, is just an excuse for the two of them to be placed under house arrest.
"Brother Yang, if I stay in the city, then my troops will also stay." Yan Baocai said tentatively.
"Of course you have to leave some." Yang Tianfeng nodded with a smile and said: "But there are still people and horses in the hands of County Magistrate Yao to enter the city, and there are many soldiers and horses in this city, so it is difficult to manage, I think Brother Yan will leave a guard of thirty people to protect his own safety." As for the rest of the people, they will be withdrawn for the time being and slowly adapted. ”
Thirty people, what are you doing? No matter how stupid Yan Baocai was, he also understood what Yang Tianfeng meant, his face changed a few times, and he bowed his head and was silent.
"Hehe, why isn't Brother Yan so happy?" Yang Tianfeng asked knowingly, patted Yan Baocai's shoulder, and comforted: "What about people, it is still under the leadership of Brother Yan, the adaptation is not an incorporation, Brother Yan doesn't have to worry." ”
Wu Yuansheng rolled his eyes and said with some resentment: "Captain Yang, isn't this a bit too deceitful?" We've made big concessions, can't we—"
Bang, Yang Tianfeng slapped the table heavily, and scared Wu Yuansheng's words back into his stomach.
"It's too much to bully people, that's right, Lao Tzu is bullying you, what's the matter?" Yang Tianfeng scolded angrily: "What's the matter, it's shameless to give face, I also want to talk to Lao Tzu about the conditions, let's dream!" Needless to say, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans up your rabble before dawn. ”
Yan Baocai looked at Wu Yuansheng, the two of them bowed their heads and were silent, but they really had a bit of a dead pig that was not afraid of being hot.
At this time, a soldier ran up and reported to Yang Tianfeng that Wang Jinqing, the puppet county magistrate, had arrived outside the door.
Yang Tianfeng sneered twice and ordered his subordinates to get ready. It's better to come early than to come by chance, and you have to borrow Wang Jinqing's dog life to shock Yan and Wu.
Wang Jinqing, the puppet county magistrate, hurriedly walked up, his thin face was full of panic, but he didn't know that he was walking towards the palace of the king of Hades.
"Commander Yan, oh, Deputy Commander Yang is also here!" Wang Jinqing pulled up his long placket, walked up the steps quickly, and said eagerly: "Why are there bandits in the city? dared to attack the house in this county, which was known to the imperial army, and the two of them were suspected of dereliction of duty! While the matter is not big now, the two commanders quickly sent people to exterminate it, and the imperial army will not investigate deeply. ”
Yan Baocai looked up at Wang Jinqing, deeply feeling ridiculous and pitiful for his stupidity.
"The Japanese are your father, and they are still from the imperial army." Yang Tianfeng squinted his eyes disdainfully.
"Hey, how do you talk about that?" Wang Jinqing glared and said, "Deputy Commander Yang, you delayed the imperial army's order to collect grain, and killed local officials without permission, the crime is not small, how can you dare to export it?" ”
