Just when Wu Shigong was struggling, he saw a group of military households carrying dozens of large pots of porridge, and they were about to open the gate of the fortress of thousands of households to give porridge.

"What's going on?" Seeing the question mark in Wu Shigong's eyes, Xue Yongli asked these military households instead of Wu Shigong.

A leading military household hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tell Lord Qianhu, Master Li." The ladies instructed the little ones to go to the soup kitchen. ”

Wu Shigong's brows tightened. I thought to myself: "These soft-hearted girls have long hair and short knowledge." If the porridge continues like this, won't these chaotic people be even more reluctant to leave? ”

However, in front of these military households, Wu Shigong couldn't say anything. He waved his hand, meaning to let these military households go to the soup kitchen. When the leading soldier received the order, he gave another salute and led the soldiers out of the gate of the fortress of the thousand households.

Wu Shigong thought to himself: "If there is anything, let's go back to the inner house and talk about it." So, Wu Shigong nodded to Xue Yongli, and then walked towards the inner house.

Seeing Wu Shigong enter the inner house, a woman stepped forward and said to Wu Shigong: "Master! ”

Wu Shigong was a little strange. Usually, when he came back from his outing, his four wives would go to the door of the inner house to greet him. But why didn't you see any of them today? Wu Shigong looked at the woman who saluted him again, and found that he didn't know him at all.

So, Wu Shigong asked the woman, "What about the ladies?" Who are you? ”

The woman said again: "The ladies are worshipping the Bodhisattva in the Buddha Hall." The slave maid is called Chunlian, in fact, the master has seen the slave and maid, and it was ...... in the tent yesterday" The more Chunlian said, the redder her face became, and the lower her voice became.

Wu Shigong suddenly remembered that this pure lotus was the woman who was naked in Master Mu's tent.

That day, Wu Shigong's guards, when Sai Zhizhi and Deng Qifan entered the carriage, happened to stuff these two people into the carriage where Chunlian was hiding.

It was precisely because there were three people in the carriage, and there were different men and women, that the carriage was wobbly and was discovered by the pusher, and there were people in the carriage.

When Xue Yongli and the others pulled these three people back to the fortress of Qianhusuo, Zhizhi and Deng Qifan naturally found a solid room and locked them up.

And this pure lotus is difficult to arrange. Xue Yongli: They don't know what Wu Shigong wants to do with Chunlian? However, they guessed that the biggest possibility was that Wu Shigong was going to accept this pure lotus. Therefore, they arranged this pure lotus into the inner house.

And after Wu Shigong and the four ladies in the inner house saw Chunlian, although they were always a little uncomfortable, they still let Chunlian live for the time being. I have to wait for Wu Shigong to come back.

After understanding Chunlian's identity, Wu Shigong asked Chunlian to lead the way and walked to the Buddhist hall in the inner house. While walking, Wu Shigong remembered the wisdom and Deng Qifan who were captured by him. Wu Shigong decided: take a good rest today, figure out a way to deal with the two of them, and deal with the two of them tomorrow.

This Buddha hall is a porcelain statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva brought by Zhao Ruya from the capital, which is placed in an empty room in the inner house. Since Wu Shigong went to war, the four ladies have come to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva every day to bless Wu Shigong to return home safely.

When Wu Shigong entered the Buddhist hall, the four ladies were chanting scriptures. When they saw Wu Shigong, they were overjoyed. They asked Wu Shigong to wait for a while with their eyes, and then they finished reading the scripture.

Wu Shigong waited for a while, and the four ladies finally finished reading the scripture. They all smiled and gathered around Wu Shigong.

It was Zhu Yun who spoke first: "The slaves just saw that these people were pitiful, so they wanted to accumulate some virtue for the children. After finishing speaking, Zhu Yun playfully stuck out her tongue, and stroked her lower abdomen with her right hand, looking happy.

Wu Shigong also laughed, he also touched Zhu Yun's little head, and said, "If you do this, they won't leave." ”

"So what to do?" Li Xin on the side asked with concern.

"It's a small thing." Wu Shigong replied with a nonchalant face: "Of course, the trouble caused by women is solved by men. Otherwise, what do you want us men to do? ”

Wu Shigong's words made the four ladies laugh happily.

Zhao Ruya said: "You also come to Baibai Guanyin Bodhisattva." It works. ”

Wu Shigong shook his head with a smile and refused: "I don't believe in these things. I won't worship now. Later, if one day I believe it, I will go and worship it. Sincerity is spirituality. ”

Hearing Wu Shigong say this, Zhao Ruya no longer persuaded him. Wu Shigong learned that the four ladies still had a few more scripture assignments to complete, so after greeting them, he thought about going back to his room to rest first.

But when Wu Shigong had just walked to the door of the Buddhist hall, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the smoke rising from the incense burner.

Li Xin, who was on the side, asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Shigong did not answer. He turned around and walked to the Buddha statue, picked up three sticks of incense from the Buddha table, lit them on the candle beside him, put his hands together, and bowed three times to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Then the three sticks of incense that were lit were inserted into the incense burner.

Wu Shigong just remembered the little girl he killed before they launched a farewell charge. He seemed to see the little girl's big eyes that looked at the sky.

Now Wu Shigong regrets a little: he didn't have to kill this little girl at that time. I could have just knocked her unconscious and thrown aside. You can even ignore the little girl's. Because Wu Shigong and them at this time were actually ready to charge.

Wu Shigong felt that he was still too impulsive at that time. Now he can only light three sticks of incense for the little girl to bless him.

When leaving the Buddhist hall, Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person!" ”

At this time, Wu Shigong made a decision in his heart. He immediately went out of the inner house and sent someone to announce to the rebellious people that it was okay for these people to stay in the fortress of the Thousand Households if they wanted. However, all those who remain will become Wu Shigong's domestic slaves.

And those who have become Wu Shigong's slaves must be mentally prepared, they may do very heavy work, and there is nothing to take. However, Wu Shigong assured that they would not starve to death in this disaster year.

Those who did not want to become Wu Shigong's family slaves, Wu Shigong would give each of them three days' rations and let them disperse and return to their hometowns on their own.

In addition, let these people who are willing to become Wu Shigong's family slaves count the number by themselves and elect ten leaders. When the time comes, Wu Shigong will communicate with those who are in the lead and make specific arrangements for the work of these house slaves.

Moreover, Wu Shigong asked these house slaves who were willing to stay to organize themselves immediately, not to gather under the small hillside and block the way in and out of the fortress of the thousand households. Let them go around the fortress of the Thousand Households, go to the hills behind the fortress of the Thousand Households, find some open space first, and build some straw huts to live in.

The reasons for Wu Shigong's decision are summarized in the following aspects: he is a little unwilling to disappoint his four ladies and wants to satisfy them; He's also a little soft-hearted.

But the main reason is that Wu Shigong thinks that his current manpower is still too small, and if there are some slaves who only need to let them eat their stomachs to use it, then why not do it?

Wu Shigong didn't expect at that time that his arrangement had actually faintly divided his subordinates into three classes: the family generals and soldiers class composed of the guards led by Xue Yongli; After Wu Shigong arrived at the fortress of Qianhusuo, he recruited recruits and those military households of Qianhusuo; Then there was the domestic slave class made up of these captives.

And no matter what kind of class they are, they have the word "home" in front of them, that is, they are all owned by Wu Shigong alone, and they can only obey Wu Shigong's orders.

Because of this, in fact, Wu Shigong has taken the first step on the road of militarization.

After accepting Wu Shigong's arrangement, the people that Wu Shigong was going to send out just wanted to go out, and the gate of the fortress of Qianhusuo opened again. Zhou Xun took fifty soldiers and escorted three people to find Wu Shigong.

Zhou Xun first came to Wu Shigong, he looked at Wu Shigong, a little embarrassed. Because he did bad things with good intentions just now, he added the burden of nearly 600 more people to Wu Shigong's place.

Wu Shigong smiled and punched Zhou Xun's chest and said, "Yes, manly man, it should be so." ”

After hearing Wu Shigong's praise, Zhou Xun immediately looked like a child, with a smile on his face.

Zhou Xun's arrest of prisoners is just a good thing to do. But for his initiative and courageous behavior, Wu Shigong of course had to praise him, and he couldn't dampen Zhou Xun's enthusiasm.

After Zhou Xun, the three people he escorted to the fortress of Qianhusu also stepped forward to salute Wu Shigong. They were: a small official sent by the Qi County Order, Li Lu, and the Jiang guerrilla whose whereabouts are unknown.

The little official first told Wu Shigong that the Qi County Commander brought a message to Wu Shigong: The governor of Henan learned that the reinforcements led by Gonggong Xiao to Guide Fucheng were defeated. Therefore, the governor of Henan organized a large army near Kaifeng City, and led it himself, and he was about to arrive at the city of Guide.

After learning the news that the governor of Henan was about to arrive, the governor of Guide Mansion sent someone to inform the county commander of Qi, asking him and Wu Shigong to rush to Guide Mansion City as soon as possible to greet the governor of Henan. Therefore, the Qi County Commander sent this small official to inform Wu Shigong, and asked Wu Shigong to bring some soldiers early tomorrow morning to escort the Qi County Order to Guide Mansion City.

Of course, Wu Shigong was not qualified to participate in this ceremony to welcome the governor of Henan. This is just that the governor of Henan wanted to meet Wu Shigong after learning about the messenger sent by Guide Fucheng on the way to report that the Holy Spirit would rebel against the people and exterminate them.

After learning the news, Wu Shigong was very helpless. I just returned to the fortress of Qianhusu from Guide Mansion City, but I didn't expect that my ass was not hot yet, so I was going to Guide Mansion City again.

After arranging for the little official to rest, Wu Shigong asked Li Lu and the Jiang guerrillas: What are their causes?
