Chapter 6: Cottage Gathering (3)

Everyone suddenly looked solemn, Qiu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as I receive Brother Shen's message, I will immediately send someone to the three counties." In fact, as the messenger said, the king of Shicheng did not know where to borrow a large number of soldiers and horses, set up a plan to invite the king into the urn, and captured the patriarchs of the wang clan in the form of a banquet, and then took over the two counties, and dismissed all the county commanders, county lieutenants, military affairs and other officials of the two counties, and also carried out an inventory of the children of the wang clan. ”

Han Fei smiled when he heard this, slapped his thigh and said, "Don't look at this Shicheng King's young age, he really has some means, I don't dare to say anything else, but those corrupt officials and corrupt officials and the children of the Wang clan should have been investigated!"

When the owners of several villages in the east heard Han Fei say this, they all said nonsense: "Yes, although we are bandits, we still talk about morality, and those corrupt officials are much more ruthless than us." ”

"I heard that the king of Shicheng also ordered a three-year tax exemption, and there are other rewards for business, agriculture and fishing. ”

At this moment, Shen Huantian sneered and said, "Brothers, you seem to have forgotten your identity, ......right? But the dignified bandits, once the King of Shicheng unifies the three counties, then the next thing he will deal with is us!"

Everyone's faces suddenly changed in unison, and Han Fei sneered and said, "Brother Shen, you don't have to be alarmist, although the King of Shicheng has unified the three counties, this misty mountain is full of forests and forests, if they are smart, they will definitely know the difficulties and retreat." ”

"Yes, there have been so many county commanders before, who has never hit the idea of our cottage, and I can't even find the road when I enter the mountain. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Shen Huantian said lightly: "Brother Han is right, for a while, the King of Shicheng will definitely not do anything to us, he needs to integrate his troops, however, I don't know if you have ever thought about where the large number of soldiers and horses used by the King of Shicheng to subdue the patriarch of the Wang clan came from?"

Saying this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Qiu Yi had already been instructed by Fang Ling to secretly promote the development of things, so he was curious: "What does Brother Shen mean ......?"

Shen Huantian smiled slightly and said, "Everyone also knows that after the King of Shicheng came to Feng County, he discovered six mines, built a smelter, and then sent soldiers to escort merchants through Gukou Avenue to transport a large number of iron tools out of the city. Compared to the money he makes, what we make from digging mines is just a drop in the bucket. With money, everything is convenient, and if I'm guessing correctly, these soldiers were borrowed from the counties around the Misty Mountains. ”

Fang Ling smiled when he heard this, although this was just Shen Huantian's speculation, but it was also logical, and Fang Ling had also imagined that if he hadn't accidentally known Xi Ling'er's identity, he would indeed have taken the step of borrowing troops from the county, of course, although he was the prince, but those officials were not fuel-efficient lamps, and it would definitely not work without spending money to do it.

As soon as Shen Huantian said this, everyone suddenly understood, and suddenly an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in their hearts.

Shen Huantian looked at everyone and continued: "For the surrounding counties, our Misty Mountain bandits are already a big trouble, if the King of Shicheng is now targeting us, do you think they are willing to borrow more soldiers?"
