"My lord, the villain is just a handful of blind guys, and most of the Leping generals still respect you very much."

Wang Teng smiled again: "Is it really just a handful?" I'm afraid you don't even believe it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He Zixiu knew that everything could not be hidden, so he had to admit with a bitter face: "My lord, your eyes are like a torch, everything cannot be hidden from you, yes, they want to give you a dismount, but God is pitiful, this has nothing to do with me, my lord has to be clear." ”

Wang Teng's expression was flat: "I will naturally find out the merits, if it has nothing to do with you, I will naturally not care about you, but if you also have a share, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”

He Zixiu knew that Wang Teng had made up his mind, so he had to sigh and leave.

The night was deep, and in the house of the general of Leping, Liu Yonggui, who was supposed to be bedridden, was full of interest, and he hugged the two singers and carnivaled wantonly.

Not long after, a military academy pushed the door in, only to see him quickly walk to Liu Yonggui and muttered in his ear for a while.

Liu Yonggui was not interested at all, he waved his hand happily and drove away the room full of singers.

At this time, all the generals who stayed in the house were Liu Yonggui's henchmen.

In front of these people, Liu Yonggui's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Xiao'er surnamed Wang is calm, today we tried him three times and twice, but he didn't take the opportunity to attack, tell me, what he thinks." ”

"Haha, what else can you think, in my opinion, it must be that Wang Teng is afraid of Captain Liu, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a strong dragon to die on the ground, what about him Wang Teng, an outsider, no food and no salary, even if the dragon arrives here, Leping has to give us a plate!"

The other person shook his head, and said: "I'm afraid it's not simple, I heard that Wang Teng is not a courageless person, this time he deliberately forbears, I'm afraid he has another plan."

"What could he plot? Even if he has strong soldiers in hand, but without rice millet, what will he use to feed the soldiers and horses? I've heard that there are more than tens of thousands of homeless people who came with Wang Teng, and these tens of thousands of mouths consume about 100 stone of rice every day. ”

"Wang Teng's soldiers are strong and strong, and he is famous for his murder, this time he went north, I heard that the Guangling Army killed all the way to a river of blood, if he is forced to a dead end, I am afraid that he must beware of jumping off the wall in a hurry."

Hearing this, Liu Yonggui's face changed sharply, he had already heard of the fierceness of the Guangling Army, it was the elite of a hundred battles, if it was really crazy, the tens of thousands of troops in Leping County were afraid that they would not be able to benefit at all.

However, now that the wood has been completed, it is difficult to recover the water, and it has become impossible to shake hands with Wang Teng again.

Moreover, on the issue of dealing with Wang Teng, Shanxi's gate valve has already reached an agreement, and Wang Teng cannot be given time to gain a firm foothold, and must be suppressed while his foothold is not stable.

Only when Wang Teng is forced to submit, can the interests of Leping's local forces be completely preserved.

Thinking of the powerful forces behind him, Liu Yonggui felt that he had more confidence, in order to hide his panic of being suitable, he deliberately increased his volume, and pretended to shout disdainfully: "I'm afraid that he is a bird, everything is ruled by the King of Jin, then Wang Teng must have some scruples when he first arrived, you have also seen it today, even if it is Wang Teng, what can he do?" It's not like I can really stay outside the city honestly, and I don't even dare to live in the city. ”

The crowd burst into laughter as they spoke, and the tense atmosphere of Shicai disappeared.

However, whether they are afraid or not, only they know in their own hearts.

In the big tent outside the city, the mastiff black tiger was sleeping in Wang Teng's big tent.

Next to a flickering oil lamp, Wang Teng held a book of soldiers and read it all night.

Knowledge is power, he has been in this world for more than two years, although Wang Teng has been lazy, but most of the time he only has free time, he will pick up the military book and study it carefully.

At this time, the types of military books were already very rich, there were six sets of the top ten military books in ancient times, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Zi, Liutao, Wei Xuanzi, and Sima Law, all of which were recited by the world.

Before the crossing, Wang Teng was only interested in military games, and he had only heard of things like these military books, and he couldn't recite them silently at all.

The improper commander did not know the importance of the art of war, and when the number of men and horses under his command was three or five hundred, Wang Teng could still rely on the knowledge reserves in the later generations to play with ease

But when the number swelled to three or five thousand people, whether it was camping or arranging troops, Wang Teng seemed much more amateurish.

If it weren't for Huang Degong, a helper who is familiar with military books, Wang Teng would have been exposed.

Now, with the rise of his status, when it comes to specific battles, Wang Teng no longer needs to point fingers, he just needs to point out the general direction, as for the grasp of the details, naturally Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji will be busy.

However, Wang Teng didn't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper completely, he knew that the enemy he would face in the future was very strong, and Huang Degong and others could not stay by his side all the time, if there were no these right-hand men, Wang Teng didn't know how to command the army to fight, once defeated, he was afraid that he would immediately become the laughing stock of the world.

From a nine-grade inspection to today's famous Ming generals, Wang Teng has come to this day with countless victories of all sizes.

In order to prepare for a rainy day, Wang Teng studied hard in military books, and he believed that even if he could not become a talented handsome, as long as he could ensure that he was invincible, it would be in vain.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

The mastiff black tiger in the tent got up when he heard the sound, and its ears flickered a few times, and after confirming who it was, it fell asleep again.

It was Hou Nineteen from the dark camp who came, and long before Wang Teng entered the territory of Leping, the secret guards of the dark camp had already pretended to be merchants and infiltrated Leping City.

For half a month, nothing that happened in the city could escape Wang Teng's ears and eyes.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Teng is too lazy to deal with the guards of Leping City, such stumbling blocks are not enough level, and they can only show their means when they are cleaned up when the accounts are settled after the autumn.

At this time, Hou Shijiu was in a hurry, and there must be some new information.

"Returning to my lordship, according to the report from the secret guard, the guards in the city have been instructed by the king of Jin, and in order to deal with the lord, the gate valve in Shanxi has reached some kind of agreement."

Wang Teng is not shocked or angry, this is a reasonable thing, he is a strong dragon that crosses the river is famous, and a careless person may stir up the Leping storm.

As a representative of the local forces, it is not new for the King of Jin to participate in this matter.

It's just that King Jin has only been on the throne for a year, and Wang Teng has no deep hatred with him.

Speaking of which, it is the powerful representatives from all over the world who are really troubled!

It's disgusting!

In other counties, as long as Wang Teng sent a military general to the door, the local magistrates would more or less always give some rice, corn, wine and meat, I thought that when I arrived in Leping, the situation would be better, but who knew that the other party would join forces to think about each other!

This is really unbearable!

There is a way that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and without rice and millet to fill their stomachs, it is difficult for both soldiers and villagers to maintain excellent combat effectiveness.

Guangling's soldiers are just that, they follow Wang Teng to the north and south, and their loyalty is impeccable, but the villagers in those township camps are far behind, and the reason why they are willing to abandon their homes and follow Wang Teng is to be able to live a good life.

If they can't fill their stomachs in Ulzhou, they are afraid that the repression that the villagers have been suffering for a long time will burst out, and they will feel that they have been deceived......

Since ancient times, the villagers have been ignorant, they have never had any far-sightedness, they only care about the immediate interests, as long as they can fill their stomachs, then everything is easy to say, on the contrary, if they are not hungry, they are afraid of revealing the rod and it is a matter of time.

Wang Teng already knew the temperament of the villagers under his command, and it was precisely in order to prevent the foolish people from doing bad things, so he ordered the secret camp to pay close attention to the movements of the villagers and the townspeople to ensure that they grasped any wind and grass at the first time.

At this time, after Hou Shijiu finished reporting the movements of Leping City, his voice changed, and he mentioned the news in the villagers' camp.

"In the past few days, I don't know who has spread the news of the lack of food in the camp, the villagers in Shanxi are better, they feel that the adults have the ability to lead them through the difficulties, so that there are no rumors, but the people of Xuanfu are a little impatient, but I have ordered the secret guards to monitor them strictly, and they will never be allowed to cause trouble."

Wang Teng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "If necessary, I will give you the right to kill a hundred people!" ”

What does it mean to make an example of a hundred, that is, as long as Hou Shijiu thinks that someone in the township camp threatens the harmony and stability of the township and private camp, he can kill him on the spot without a report.

In other words, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go!

Wang Teng has never been a woman's benevolent figure, although he has a back hand at the moment, the situation he faces is still extremely dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will lose everything.

At this time, he was soft-hearted, that is, he committed crimes against tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, Wang Teng finally went through ups and downs to bring tens of thousands of people to Leping, he didn't want to waste his efforts!

Hou Nineteen is a smart man, he didn't say much, just whispered: "Nineteen will live up to the trust of adults!" ”

Wang Teng bowed slightly, and said, "When will the merchants I asked you to contact be able to come?" ”

"With the seal of the lord, those grain merchants will definitely be able to arrive within five days"

Wang Teng stood up, took a deep breath, and said: "The Jin merchants regard me as an enemy, from them, I am afraid that I will not get a grain of grain, although the merchants from other places can solve my temporary needs, but it is not a long-term solution, besides, the merchants pursue profits, and pin all their hopes on them, in the end I am afraid that it will be empty." ”

Hou Shijiu's eyes flashed, he understood Wang Teng's meaning, and he must find another way to supplement grain and millet as soon as possible, otherwise if the merchants transporting grain were detained by the families in the border areas, then Wang Teng's tens of thousands of horses could really only sit and eat empty.

However, grain does not fall from the sky, and for a while, where are you going to find such grain for the army?

Wang Teng's tone was cold, and he said coldly: "Within a radius of 100 miles, there are no more than two places where grain is stored, one is the official warehouse, and the other is the private warehouse!" ”

Hou Shijiu's eyes lit up, he only felt that his mind suddenly opened up, and the official warehouse was easily untouchable, after all, Wang Teng was nominally a general of the Ming Dynasty, and if he moved the official warehouse, his name was not right.

The official warehouse can't be moved, so the only place where you can use your brains is the people's warehouse.

These barns are not the granaries of ordinary villagers, but generally refer to the places where the big families hoard grain.

Since ancient times, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there will never be a shortage of food in the hands of the wealthy families, and most of the time, they even hoard Juqi, and when the villagers are desperate, they buy the land from the villagers at the lowest price.

It was through this despicable means that land annexation was achieved.

When the world is peaceful, the displaced people return to their homes, but they have lost the land they rely on for their livelihood, and can only rent the land of the wealthy families and pay high taxes.

After a year's hard work, except for the food that was only enough for the family, all the harvest became the accumulation of the wealthy family.

"The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand", which refers to the harm of land annexation.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people withered, in order to consolidate the rule and recuperate, Zhu Yuanzhang set a law that was conducive to the people's livelihood, but hundreds of years have passed, the law has already been thoroughly studied, how to drill the loopholes of the law, the heroes are deeply touched.

In the year of natural disasters, the productivity at this time was extremely low, and the grain of one mu was only about 100 catties.

After paying the taxes, only two or three percent of the harvest of the hundred and ten catties was left to the people, or even less.

Over the years, decades have passed, and the original situation of every family having land and surplus grain has changed greatly.

In Leping, except for some villagers who claim to be forts, most of the poor families have abandoned their homes and businesses and fled.

A large amount of land was left unused, and even the wealthy families with a large number of slaves could not find enough people to cultivate the land and grow crops.

However, even in this case, the manor of the wealthy family was still piled up with small piles of rice millet.

Wang Teng and Hou Nineteen fought the idea of this wealthy family.

Anyway, ill-gotten gains are well received!

Which of those families has clean hands?

These days, the secret guards of the dark camp have already infiltrated the large and small towns within a radius of 100 miles.

Where there are large manors, where there are heavily guarded, these situations are all in the control of the secret camp.

This time, as soon as Wang Teng said his thoughts, Hou Shijiu replied excitedly: "Lord Hui, thirty miles away, there is a Shenchi Town, and there is a manor surnamed Liu outside the town, and it is said that there is a lot of grain in the manor. ”

"Have you inquired about the origin of the family surnamed Liu?"

"I inquired clearly, it is said that Liu Dahu is the uncle of Liu Yonggui, the guard of Leping City, and he is also related to Fan Yongdou."

"Fan Yongdou? It seems that it is not possible to move Liu Dahu! (To be continued.) )
