In the past few days in Tongcheng, there have been more displaced people entering the city.

The court of Great Chu was in turmoil, and the two front-line generals did not dare to fight hard in order to preserve their combat strength, and the two counties of Guangyang and Anping left only one or two points of land left in Beiyu, but it was only a sporadic good news when it was sent to the imperial court.

A few days ago, Su Shangshu, who was sent by the imperial court to urge the war, was also dealt with in a relatively safe place by the capital of the Guangyang Army, and showed him a few rounds of half-truths and wars, plus Su Shangshu was afraid that he would lose the opportunity in the major events inherited by the two princes, and was in a hurry to return to Lianzhou to resume his life, and the Great Chu court even lost the easiest opportunity to get the real battle report.

Therefore, the vast majority of the princes and nobles above the court did not even know the real situation, thinking that they were just fighting and retreating, and they could hold out for a few more months, and they would have time to wait for the court to be stable before making a decision.

A few people who knew the truth through their own news channels also did not tell others because of all kinds of considerations.

In contrast, the Liangzhou army is well aware of the current situation because of the displaced people who entered the city.

But such a huge number of displaced people, whether it is under the city wall or the original Yang Mansion, can no longer bear it. And at this rate, there will only be more displaced people coming to Tongcheng, not less.

Regarding the displaced people, Tongcheng is not a problem with money now, the family wealth left by Yang Wantang and the greeting gifts sent by the major clans "themselves" can easily support these expenditures.

It's just that the homeless people always have something to do, in exchange for money, so that there will be no trouble, otherwise although the current difficulties can be solved, in the long run, there will definitely be greater difficulties.

Nowadays, it is completely effortless to move a brick under the city wall, but it is a bit too much for ten people to move together.

There's nowhere to start.

At this time, the Southern Chu court sent horses and weapons over. It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need to review the past.

The Liangzhou army originally acted safely and did not dare to recruit soldiers and horses, so it happened to have a reason.

Last time, there was no such reward for Liu Shu, and I don't know what the difference is between these two times in the Southern Chu court, but his move to rob Li Xun to return to Tongcheng must have involved and changed many people's original plans.

Tang obviously won't come or not, for the time being, since there are conditions, it is better to prepare early.

Wen asked Wen Liang Zhoutong to start planning and arranging, starting to select some suitable ones from among the homeless people and recruit them into the army.

However, the identity of the Liangzhou army is inconvenient to be exposed, and if the displaced people are included in it, training day and night, eating and living together, it is inevitable that the clues will be revealed.

simply use the foundation of the defending army to form a new Tongcheng army, which is still called the Tongcheng garrison to the outside world.

On the first two days, there were quite a few people, but from the third day onwards, fewer and fewer people were called, and on the fifth day, there were only three or two people scattered.

After asking, I learned that it was the big clans who were quiet before, and suddenly came out to rob people. The money given was even thirty percent more than the money paid by the defenders.

Needless to say, it must be Zheng Tong who is making some new calculations.

I didn't say anything else, I just set up a banquet in the middle of the house, and invited these old men to come over to talk about it, and thank them for their reasoning and righteousness in the matter.

Zhou Tong, the general of the Liangzhou Army, and Li Xun, the chief secretary of the Taishou, personally went to the post, and the old men who wanted to come and didn't want to come sat happily around the table at this time, and saluted the first glass of wine.

"I really didn't expect that Aunt Taishou, who saved the people in danger and drove away the insects in Tongcheng, would be so young, the last time I waited for it to be abrupt, our heroines in Tongcheng, don't be surprised." Zheng Tong said with a smile on his face.

The historians of the Sun family and even the master of the Wang family also sat together, and everyone took turns to walk through the words of great beauty.

After Li Xun arrived in Tongcheng, these old men decided that he was the face of Aunt Taishou, and wanted to find an opening from him and fight for some future benefits.

But like Li Xun's colleagues, he was scolded by Li Xun one by one. However, he also learned from his mouth the true age of Aunt Taishou.

None of these people thought that they were old, but they still had to please and flatter a little lady, and they all felt that they had lost face in private, but when it came to the scene, no one was half inferior to the others.

I only heard Wen Guyan say: "I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, and the only time I drank with Yang Wantang was with him." Today, if you are willing to come and get together, I will not be disappointed, so I will have a few drinks with you. ”

After finishing speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup. But as soon as everyone present heard her speak like this, they couldn't figure out what she was going to do today, so they laughed a few times and drank with them.

"Aunt Taishou's handling of Yang Wantang and removing the scourge for the people of Tongcheng is really sophisticated and thoughtful, which is admirable." Zheng Tong simply followed the old words.

"I'm still young, and I'm just doing it casually, and I'm not sophisticated. Although it is not difficult to get rid of Yang Wantang and his ilk, I don't want to see a second or third one. So please help me watch, if anyone wants to imitate Yang Wantang, you must mention me. ”

After a glass of wine in his throat, his cheeks were already slightly red when he spoke, and the whole person was much more delicate. But such a person said things that did not match his appearance.

The old men thought that this little lady threatened them, and they didn't even hide it, I don't know if they were drunk, or if they didn't take them seriously at all. But they all hurriedly responded first, and did not dare to delay.

"That's natural, Aunt Taishou is here, how can there be Yang Wantang in Tongcheng."

"Really?" Wen said with a smile, "Then recently, everyone has picked some young people to enter the mansion, and I should also raise private soldiers." ”

There was only drunkenness in the tone of the review, and there was no anger or blame or anything else, but everyone present listened, whether they were holding glasses or laughing, they all froze in one place.

But Zheng Tong seemed to have been prepared, and relieved the siege: "Where there are any private soldiers, we just want to add some labor to the mansion in the city and the village outside the city, and in addition, we also want to share some worries for Taishou." ”

Zheng Tong said that, Zheng De, who had been waiting for him by his side, immediately understood, hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, and turned back after a while, but with him, there were more than ten young men with different appearances and different costumes, but they were all handsome.

This time, it was his turn to freeze.

Some of these men are dressed as prodigal sons with scrolls, some are dressed as scholars with scrolls, some are dressed as swordsmen with long swords, and some are even soft and delicate and almost women.

These more than ten people lined up in the courtyard, and without Zheng Tong's signal, the "prodigal son" led by them went out first, and said generously: "Liu Ruofeng asked Miss An." ”

At this time, Zhixia, who was standing next to Wen Gu, didn't understand Zheng Tong's intentions, but saw that the eldest lady seemed to want to drink, so he poured the wine again.

I drank it immediately, thinking to myself, this wine is really spicy.
