Chapter III

At this moment, the entire Wuding County learned that Wuding had a new county guard, and as soon as the new county guard came, he killed Lao Fei, who was the king and hegemon here. Or maybe because Lao Fei was killed, some bold people had already come to the periphery to watch the new Meng County Guard. More people just hope that when the new county guard comes, they will have a way to live.

A thin goat-bearded man panted and ran over, came to Meng Tian's side, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Wuding County Prison Peng Xing Ning has seen Meng County Guard. ”

Meng Tian didn't speak, just looked at the Xing Lamb in front of him. This guy has a sharp mouth and cheeks, and his demeanor looks sincere. The prison in Wuding County should be a ruthless guy. Meng Tian could imagine that this guy must also be extremely sleek. A prison Peng who is only ruthless and not tactful, in this uncertain place, where can he still survive to this day?

There is no definite prison Peng Meng Tian knows, this is a strange place, except for a military marquis, it is a prison Peng. Unlike other counties, Wuding County has neither a county order nor a county lieutenant or county magistrate. Lao Fei, who was killed by Meng Tian before, can be said to have exercised all the military power of Wuding County.

However, there is nothing left to do in the uncertain military administration, except for oppressing the natives and prisoners all day long, only to avoid the attacks of the blood clan. If we have to talk about power, it is that the steward in the uncertain prison often has some extra money to gain.

The vast majority of Xuanyong's assigned prisoners will be left to fend for themselves. After coming to Wude, some people will be sent to the indefinite prison, and some people will become slaves to drive people like Laofei.

Seeing that Meng Tian ignored him, Xing Yong began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. Xuanyong Meng's family naturally knew that no matter what Meng Tian came to be uncertain, no matter what the reason, the other party would kill him like killing a chicken.

"How many more people are there, including prisoners?" Meng Tian also sighed secretly, this kind of thing should have been asked about the county order, but he could only ask one prison magistrate.

The panicked Xing Ning finally heard Meng Tian's question, was slightly stunned, and then came to his senses, and quickly said, "There are about 10,000 people......

Meng Tian sneered, "Am I blind?" There are only a few people in Wuding County at a glance, do you mean that there are more than 10,000 people imprisoned in the prison? ”

"Mengjun is angry, there are only less than 2,000 people in Wuding County now, and many more have fled. If you stay here, you will be sent by Lao Fei to pay tribute to the blood clan. After many riots in between, many people fled into the wilderness. Xing didn't dare to raise his head.

"Tribute to the Bloodline?" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he should have thrown these defenseless Xuanyong people to the blood clan to ensure safety.

Thinking of this, the murderous aura in Meng Tian's eyes became more and more vigorous, and he felt that he had killed Lao Fei with a sword before, which was really cheap.

Without waiting for Xing Zhi to reply, Meng Tian said coldly, "You immediately take someone to persuade those who fled to the wilderness to return to Wuding, if there are less than 10,000 people in Wuding County in the end, you can send your head yourself." Also, immediately release all the people in the prison and gather them all here. ”

Where did Xing Steroid dare not say anything, so he quickly responded and hurried to find someone.

…….

Half a day later, except for the people who fled from Wuding County, all the people in Wuding gathered in front of Meng Tian.

Looking at these scrawny prisoners released from the prison, some of them could even be blown down by a gust of wind, and Meng Tian's fingernails were about to be embedded in the flesh. He knew better than anyone that there were actually very few prisoners here who were actually traitors, and most of them were the family members of the good ministers and generals who were framed by the so-called loyal ministers in the Xuanyong court, just like Shang Qing'er and Shang Buxuan who he saved before.

Seeing everyone cowering and looking at him, Meng Tian took a deep breath, tried to slow down his tone and said, "We are all Xuanyong's people, and I know very well that many of you have been victimized by treachery. Not only that, but every day I wonder if I can survive until tomorrow. Today, I am here, and you don't have to worry about being bullied and humiliated. I will raise the strongest army in Wuding to defend this place and protect all of us. ”

Except for a very small number of people, most people still looked at Meng Tian numbly, in this place of Wuding, even survival is a problem, how to form a strong army?

Meng Tian knew that this would not happen overnight, and he still said patiently, "From today onwards, there will be no fixed county. All the prisoners in the Uncertainty Prison have been released, and since that's just what I meant, you can't leave the Uncertainty County yet. Dusty ......"

Dust, who was standing on the side, immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes." ”

Meng Tian said in a deep voice, "Among the sergeants gathered just now, there are 100 people who arrived within a stick of incense, you gather these 100 people and follow me to learn the military formation, and all of them will be the generals of the new army formation in the future." ”

"Yes." Meng Chen immediately responded, turned around and beckoned, the hundred sergeants who came first were all overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and stood behind Zai Yue.

Although the team is still crooked, it is a little more angry.

"Zai Yue." Meng Tian shouted again.

Zai Yue hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "General Meng, Zai Yue, who is loyal to you, is here. ”

Meng Tian, "You immediately settle the rest of the people ......"

"The general can rest assured, Zai Yue will definitely follow the general's intentions, do his best, and live up to the general's trust." Jae Yue replied loudly.

Zai Yue was ecstatic in his heart, General Meng kept explaining things to him, what does this mean? It shows that he is very important in the eyes of General Meng. It's not just his loyalty, it's his ability. Zai Yue proudly glanced at the uncertain soldiers who looked at him with some disdain in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, in the future, I, Zai Yue, will become the number one general under General Meng, you scum.

When Meng Tian groaned a little, Shang Qing'er on the side whispered, "Brother Meng, I can also help you......

"Big brother, my sister can really help, my sister often writes to my father and discusses some frontier military affairs with my father." Shang Buxuan also hurriedly said.

"Okay." Meng Tian didn't refuse, he didn't have enough people now. Shang Qing'er was born in a businessman, and it was her ancestor's changes that made Xuan Yong strong, even if Shang Qing'er learned one-twelve, it was better than him looking for someone casually here.

Hearing Meng Tian's agreement, Shang Qing'er was overjoyed. Since learning of her father's death, the entire business has been assigned to an uncertain situation, Shang Qing'er has been in the midst of gangsters, she has no direction, she doesn't know where her path is, or there is no way of her own in this world.

Now hearing that Meng Tian needs her help, it is as if a window belonging to her has appeared in the gloomy sky.

Meng Tian looked at Shang Qing'er, his tone was a little heavy, "Qing'er, in the uncertain people, except for a very few natives who have not been completely erased, the rest are all sent here like you. Living in this place, not to mention a bite to eat, even death can happen at any time. Since I have come here, I want to give all those who are struggling in uncertainty a chance to survive, or even a better life...... I hope you can take charge of Lin Qu's affairs and ...... in the future."

Meng Chen still hopes that Shang Qing'er will be able to return to Xuanyong Forest Qubu in the future, because they are in Xuanyong.

Shang Qing'er looked up at Meng Tian's eyes, and she saw something in Meng Tian's eyes that made her resonate deep in her heart. It was unwillingness, resentment, pity, unyielding and struggle, and a deep expectation......

"Brother Meng, I understand." Shang Qing'er really understands, some things can't be described in words, but you can experience them with your heart.

Meng Tian didn't explain, he nodded, and his tone was a little calmer, "From today on, we will protect every inch of land in Wuding, so that everyone in Wuding will have food, clothing, and a house." ”

When Meng Tian said the last few words, his eyes were not looking at Wuding, but at the location of Xuanyong Capital. The biggest ideal in his heart is not only the peaceful life of an uncertain person, but that all the people of the entire Xuanyong Kingdom can have food, clothing, and a house.

But now, whether it is from the capital to the village or to the border, all the people in the entire Xuanyong are struggling, except for those meat eaters at the top. For example, Shang Peng, a general who desperately guards the frontier for Xuanyong and dedicates his life to Xuanyong, will also suffer the disaster of his family's uncertain allocation.

Shang Qing'er stood quietly beside Meng Tian, she knew in her heart that at this moment, she was the only one here who felt Brother Meng's mood. She vowed that she must do her best to do what she can for Brother Meng.

After a long time, Meng Tian took a long breath, turned to Bao Yang, who had been following him, and said, "Bao Yang, I want to ask you to help me do something." ”

Bao Yang knelt down on one knee, "Meng Junshou, from the moment you saved me, Bao Yang's life is yours." ”

He doesn't have a father or mother, and he grew up eating leopard milk, but he knows kindness. Without Meng Tian, he wouldn't have lived.

Meng Tian pulled Bao Yang up, "Don't call me the county guard, call me the eldest brother like Qing'er in the future." Qing'er helps me rectify the livelihood of Wuding County, no one around me can't do it, you help me follow Qing'er, remember not to let anyone hurt her hair. ”

He has a lot of things for Shang Qing'er to do, and there is no one to protect Shang Qing'er, so Shang Qing'er is afraid that it will be difficult for him to move.

"Yes." Bao Yang responded without hesitation.

Meng Tian handed over the affairs of the army and people's livelihood to Meng Chen and Shang Qing'er respectively, and Hu An and Shang Buxuan assisted Meng Chen. It's not that he's lazy, it's that he has more important things to do.

Wuding is already barren and desolate, and not only that, but there are also blood clans hiding in the shadows that may come out and invade Wuding at any time. The reason why the blood clan has not completely swallowed Wuding now is because of Lao Fei's despicable behavior before. In order to settle the blood clan, Lao Fei constantly sent the uncertain people to the blood clan. For the Bloodline, this is naturally the best.

If he came later, I am afraid that there will never be a single Xuanyong people again.

For Meng Tian, he would rather die in battle than kneel and wag his tail like Lao Fei. But Meng Tian also knew very well in his heart, not to mention that there were only a few thousand people, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if these thousands of people were all soldiers, they would not be able to stop the crushing of the blood clan.

If he wants to stabilize Wuding and block the invasion of the Blood Clan, he must use other methods. This method is the military formation. Only the military formation can win more with less and block the invasion of the blood clan from uncertain. What he had to do was to study the military formation.

When he followed the former general Shang Peng in the frontier, he studied the military formation, and after all these years of actual combat exploration, in Meng Tian's opinion, his understanding of the military formation has been very deep.

Because of the loose armament of the frontier over the years, it has always been unable to attack, and it is more on the defensive. It is precisely because of this that Meng Tian has studied the defensive military formation even more thoroughly.

Whether it is offensive or defensive, more than a hundred people want to block the attack of thousands of blood clans, no matter how strong his military formation is, I am afraid that it will hit a stone with an egg.

"General......" Dusty sounded some eagerness outside.

Meng Tian woke up, he suddenly stood up and stepped out of the stone house after a few steps, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing the somewhat anxious dust standing outside the stone house, Meng Tian guessed that it was not a good thing. He had been studying the military formation in the stone house for several days, and in these few days, all the things about settling down were handed over to Shang Qing'er, but the matter of gathering soldiers was handed over to Meng Chen and Zai Yue.

"General, just now the blood clan came to ask why the pearl rice and Xuannu were not collected this season. They said to give us three days, and if we didn't collect enough pearl rice and Xuannu for them, they would be un......settled," Zai Yue, who was following closely behind Dust, said eagerly.

Meng Tian looked at Zai Yue suspiciously, "What pearl rice?" What Xuannu? ”

After he came to control the situation, he immediately studied the military formation, and nothing else was very clear.

Before Zai Yue could answer, a crisp voice came from a distance, "Brother Meng, pearl rice is an indefinite specialty, and the yield is extremely high. The particles are full and crystal clear, and after being watered with blood, there is a faint red ......"

The person who came was Shang Qing'er, Shang Qing'er looked a little tired, but her spirit was very good, and her body was full of a strong fighting spirit.

Bao Yang's guard was obviously also very competent, standing behind Shang Qing'er with great momentum.

"Wait......" Meng Tian hurriedly asked, "Pearl rice needs to be watered with blood?" ”

Shang Qing'er hurriedly said, "Pearl rice I know, there is absolutely no need for blood water. The blood clan asked the pearl rice that Wuding gave them to be watered with blood water, because this kind of pearl rice watered with blood water was of great benefit to them. ”

Zai Yue also said on the side, "Collecting pearl rice and Xuannu for the blood clan was not proposed by the blood clan, but by Lao Fei taking the initiative to curry favor with the blood clan. Later, in order to curry favor with the blood clan, Lao Fei actually used the blood of indefinite slavery to water pearl rice to pay tribute to the blood clan. This not only continued to grow the blood clan, but also made me indefinite and decadent, causing a large number of people to flee......"

Meng Tian snorted coldly, no wonder the prisoners in the prison were all skinny and bone-in-one, it turned out that Lao Fei did it, Meng Tian regretted killing this guy with a sword again, he should let this surnamed Lao also bleed to water the pearl rice.

"What's the matter with Xuannu?" The murderous aura in Meng Tian's chest is getting stronger and stronger, and if he doesn't kill all the blood clans, he may not be able to calm down this evil breath.

"The blood clan asks for an indefinite period to send some of Xuanyong's people over, and these Xuanyong people who have been sent over, they are all called Xuannu." Jae Yue replied.

Meng Tian laughed, but there was no smile on his face, "Qing'er, how are you here?" ”

Shang Qing'er knew what Meng Tian meant, and immediately said, "Wuding originally had 2,100 people, but later more than 3,000 people were found by Xing Ning, and now there are 5,700 people in Wuding. I have settled all of them, two thousand nine hundred. I arranged for these people to go down to plant pearl rice, and the pearl rice that Lao Fei was going to sacrifice to the blood clan was all used by me to make rice seeds. Pearl rice lives twice a year, and in less than two years, it will definitely not worry about food again......"

Shang Qing'er said it very easily, but she knew in her heart how difficult it was. There are more than 5,000 people in 3,000 households, in fact, many people are one household, and some people temporarily form a household. But she believes that as long as Brother Meng can stop the blood clan, in the future, Wuding will no longer be a terrible forbidden place for Xuan Yongwen's color.

Meng Tian originally planned to let Shang Qing'er plant pearl rice, but he didn't expect Shang Qing'er to do it a long time ago, and he was grateful in his heart. With Shang Qing'er as a helper, as long as he can block the blood clan, Wuding will definitely no longer be a place to distribute in the future.

The words of gratitude remained in his heart, and Meng Tian set his eyes on Meng Chen and Zai Yue.

Without waiting for Meng Tian to ask, Meng Chen stepped forward and said, "General Hui, because Xing Prison Peng brought back many people, and now Wuding has formed a team of 1,000 people. ”

A team of thousands? Meng Tian looked at Shang Qing'er in surprise, and Shang Qing'er hurriedly said, "The thousand people who joined the army are also counted among the five thousand seven hundred. ”

"Okay, yes, it seems that Xing Prison Peng still has some ability." Meng Tian was very satisfied in his heart, he was going to kill Xing Ning. Now it seems that Xing Steroid can be used. In just a few days, more than 3,000 people were recovered, and nearly 1,000 of them were allowed to join the Wuding Defenders, and Meng Tian would not have killed him for this credit.

"Qing'er, you can find a hundred more people from the rest of the people to form the Wuding County Army. These county soldiers are dedicated to preventing civil unrest and some traitors, Bao Yang, you follow me to the army. Meng Chen, you choose five people to follow Shang Qing'er's side, instead of Bao Yang's protection of Qing'er......"

Meng Tian issued more than a dozen orders in a very short period of time, and the Blood Clan came to urge Pearl Rice, and it was obvious that he would soon start a war with the Blood Clan. Bao Yang is tall and powerful, and Meng Tian has an intuition that taking Bao Yang with him will help him a lot.

Everyone should say in unison, Shang Qing'er can be said to have the most things, and after Meng Tian agreed, she hurriedly left again with five guards as soon as possible.

"Take me to the army." Meng Tian looked at Zai Yue and Meng Chen.

Meng Chen picked up a slightly worn box and handed it to Meng Tian, "General, this box has always been placed here with me, now give it to the general." ”

Only then did Meng Tian think of this box, when he left Xuanyong Capital, this box was given to him by Meng Gu, the old housekeeper of the Meng family. When he heard about Shang Qing'er, he was about to enter the uncertain fight, so he temporarily put the box on Meng Chen. After entering the uncertain and stable situation, he immediately began to study the military formation, and it was only now that Meng Chen had the opportunity to return the box to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian hung the box on his horse, "Let's go, come with me to see the new army." ”

The matter of the box can be opened later, but the new army is related to whether Wuding can exist, the lives of all people, and even the safety of Xuanyong. Wuding has always been rarely taken seriously, and Meng Tian now knows very well that the Wuding blood clan is definitely very strong now. The reason why they haven't made much of a move so far is most likely because of Pearl Rice and Xuannu. What's more, the blood clan here must be recuperating, looking for an opportunity to attack Xuanyong in a big way.

Once Wuding raises the blood clan here with pearl rice and Xuannu, who can be sure that the blood clan will not enter Xuanyong from here in the future and impact the safety of Xuanyong Kingdom?
