"My lord, the little ones are admiring you more and more" Zhang Rui said with admiration: "Now the whole of Sichuan is in the palm of your hand." ”

They thought that the officers and soldiers were corrupt and incompetent, and they were afraid of themselves, but Zhang Rui knew that this was in Lu Haoshan's hands, so to speak, Lu Haoshan was in Sichuan with his backhand as a cloud and his hands as rain, and hundreds of thousands of people were made by him alone.

"Want to know why?" Lu Haoshan said lightly.

"Yes."

Lu Haoshan laughed: "It's very simple, human nature." ”

"Humanity?"

"That's right, people are not saints, so people have shortcomings, greed, and foolishness" Lu Haoshan squinted and said: "As long as you take advantage of these shortcomings, you can control their actions, and even their fate, this is human nature." ”

Millions of family fortunes are not as good as a skill, this sentence really hits the point, Lu Haoshan failed to bring the hundreds of millions of net worth in his previous life, but he has a peak of skills, including imitating handwriting to the point of being fake, plus Lu Haoshan is Han Wendeng's cronies, he knows him very well, after getting Han Wendeng's private seal, the entire Sichuan commanded the envoys to let Lu Haoshan play with it, and Lu Haoshan weaved a beautiful lie to those generals: lure them in, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Of course, there are also some generals who don't buy Han Wendeng, for example, there is a Xingdu Division in addition to the Sichuan Capital Division, and the Xingdu Division is mainly responsible for the border, these people do not listen to Han Wendeng's command, Lu Haoshan either uses the collection of criminal evidence of those generals to coerce, or uses inducement, erotic temptation and other means, anyway, he does what he likes, and then lets his plan go smoothly.

The current situation is that the snipe and the clam are competing, and the fisherman is profitable, and Lu Haoshan is the fisherman.

Zhang Rui nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask in detail.

There are some things that are better than I know.

After a pause, Lu Haoshan said to himself: "The time has come, it's time to act." ”

Lu Haoshan and Zhang Rui have the heart to drink and chat here. In the city of Chengdu, there was a gloomy cloud, and Zhu Zhipeng, the king of Shu, walked around the palace, and then said with an anxious face: "Governor Chen, when will Han Wendeng act?" When will the reinforcements arrive? ”

The thieves besieged the city of Chengdu, surrounded it for seven days, and attacked it for seven days, with heavy casualties among the soldiers, and the eastern city wall was broken more than ten times, and each time it was filled with human lives. The bandits not only had a large number of people, but also artillery and trebuchets, especially many officers and soldiers joined in, which greatly increased their combat effectiveness and posed a great threat to the city of Chengdu.

Zhu Zhipeng, the king of Shu, was divided into Chengdu, Sichuan, and his whole wealth was here, and Zhu Zhipeng was a famous rich man among the princes, Sichuan was the country of abundance, and six or seven out of ten fertile land outside Chengdu was the fief of the king of Shu. These fiefs do not have to pay taxes, and these revenues are only used for daily expenses, and Comrade Zhu Chongba is very mean to the officials, and he has made a fortune that cannot support himself. He was very generous to his children and grandchildren, and the prince was awarded ten thousand stones per year after being crowned prince, nearly seven times that of the highest officials, not including a large amount of land and other rewards. In order for future generations to fully enjoy happiness. He stipulated that the royal family did not have to engage in any profession. For every descendant of the royal family, all consumption needs are borne by the state: from the age of 10 onwards, they receive a salary and enjoy a salary, and when they get married, the state pays for the house, crown and dress, and wedding expenses. There is also a generous funeral bill at the time of death.

That's it. The king of Shu amassed millions of fortunes, which was one of the reasons why Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, came here.

"Back to the prince's words, now Commander Han has not shown up, and it is estimated that he is still waiting for the opportunity outside." Chen Shiqi didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he could only comfort Zhu Zhipeng with kind words.

"Timing! Occasion! It's almost in, I really don't know what this surname Guo is for, let those soil buns attack Chengdu, if the city is broken, the king will ask the emperor for a decree to destroy his three clans. Zhu Zhipeng said viciously.

Still want to ask for a message?

Chen Shiqi sneered in his heart, these bandits hate the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family the most, every time they capture a place, the first thing is to hunt and kill these dragon sons and grandsons, is it really a broken city and a life? It was a dream, but he didn't dare to say these words, but whispered: "Lord Wang, now the thieves are mighty, the soldiers are fighting bloodily in front, with heavy casualties and low morale, in order to stimulate the morale of the soldiers, please donate generously and take a sum of money to help boost morale." ”

Recently, morale is low, many soldiers have not received pay for several months, the love is very big, some are afraid that they will die in battle without compensation, and they are afraid to fight, so that the officers and soldiers occupy the tall and thick city wall and do not take much advantage, and the soldiers are tired of war day by day, in order to fight this battle, the silver in Chengdu City is almost distributed, and there is no silver to appease those soldiers, but I am afraid that the morale will be even lower, and I am in a hurry to helpless, so I can only find this stingy and rich King of Shu to help me.

"What, and the salary?" Zhu Zhipeng, the king of Shu, screamed like a pig: "On the day of the siege, didn't this king donate 50,000 taels?" Why more? ”

It's really stingy, the family wealth is millions, and after begging for a long time, it took 50,000 taels of silver to give up to the door of the house, and when he gave the money, he had a gloomy face, as if he was cutting meat, I really don't understand, this is the world of his Zhu family or the world of his own little governor.

The military situation is urgent, Chen Shiqi is too lazy to be wordy, and said lightly: "If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat more grass, if there is no way, the lower officials will not look for the prince, the prince, now there are less than 100,000 officers and soldiers in our department, and there are nearly 300,000 bandits. ”

When Zhu Zhipeng, the king of Shu, heard this, he was speechless, after the city was broken, those bandits had to deal with the descendants of the royal family, and they would definitely not let go of themselves at that time.

"How much does King Rui pay?" Zhu Zhipeng suddenly asked.

Mingrui King Zhu Changluo was originally sealed in Chongqing, but received a warrant from Han Wendeng to contract, Rui King Zhu Changluo's family followed Chen Shiqi to Chongqing Mansion to supervise the war together to Chengdu, according to the principle of "the two kings do not meet", Rui King Zhu Changluo and his family temporarily settled in a mansion in the west of the city, Zhu Zhipeng felt sorry for Qian Yin, and wanted to go out with King Larry.

Chen Shiqi said with a straight face: "King Rui is righteous and will pay 100,000 taels to encourage the soldiers to fight to the death." ”

"This king also pays 100,000 taels." Zhu Zhipeng also reluctantly donated 100,000 taels when he heard this, but he quickly said: "However, the expenses in this king's mansion are too large, and I can't make ends meet, so I didn't find much cash, and half of the money and silver were replaced by grain." ”

There was still a lot of old grain in the warehouse, and some of them were wormed, just for those soldiers to eat.

"The prince is righteous, and the officials are grateful." Chen Shiqi immediately saluted.

On the surface, he is very grateful, but his heart is extremely disdainful: he has hit the door of his house, and he still refuses to let go of the money and silver, for King Rui, Chongqing is his fiefdom, and everyone is a guest to pay 100,000 taels, but Zhu Zhipeng, as a "landlord", is still calculating.

Zhu Zhipeng said anxiously: "Governor Chen, hold on, you must keep it, this king's net worth and life will be entrusted to you." ”

"Yes, the lower officials have the responsibility of guarding the land, the city is there, and the people are there." Although Chen Shiqi is a civil official, he speaks loudly.

After coming out of the Shu Palace, Chen Shiqi let out a long sigh: there is money and food, and he finally has a small explanation for the soldiers who fought bloodily.

The bandits led by the starry sky and the rampant wolf seemed to be crazy, attacking in turn day and night, and the soldiers could only bite and resist, because the war was urgent, some fell asleep on the city wall, and what made Chen Shiqi feel most distressed was that after only seven days, the 100,000 army had lost as much as 30,000, and the wounded had not been counted.

Just when Chen Shiqi's heart was in turmoil, a henchman waiter came in a hurry with a letter, handed the letter to Chen Shiqi, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is someone who shot into the city with an arrow, and the name of the adult was signed on it. ”

As soon as Chen Shiqi saw the familiar words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and after checking that the fire paint was correct, he couldn't wait to open the letter, and after waiting for so many days, "Han Wendeng", who had not shown up, finally came to the news. (To be continued......)
