Except for Master Hu, almost all the others were recruited.

The confession in this actually involved almost all the big clans and officials in the entire Hedong, from top to bottom.

Of course, there are also officials who are not lightly weighted by the DPRK and China.

The confession alone is more than two feet thick.

A slightly larger box was found and the confessions were sealed.

Some of those who did not commit crimes to death were temporarily imprisoned in the dungeons set up by the Hu family.

Two thousand soldiers were left to guard this place, so that no one would break in and rescue them.

The grain transport officer and the grain transport supervisor announced the charges on the spot and beheaded them in front of the captured grain transport soldiers in order to establish their authority.

Jiang Hong reappointed the grain officer and the grain transport superintendent.

Except for the grain and grass left for one month for the Hu family's left-behind personnel, all the others were transported to the camp overnight.

By the evening of the next day, all the grain stored by the Hu family had been transported.

Jiang Hong and Li Xing asked the quartermaster to count it.

The quartermaster told them that the food and grass would be enough for them, the soldiers, and the common people they had taken in, for a month.

It is enough to have food confidence.

Li Xing and Jiang Hong decided to make a big move.

That is to let some people who have survived smallpox and have been cured follow the soldiers to shout outside Hedong City.

Tell the people in the city that the imperial army can not only treat smallpox, but also give them medicine, so that they will not be infected again in their lives.

These aborigines or displaced people who have survived smallpox and are not driven out of the city, many people in the city actually know them.

So they shouted with the soldiers for three days in a row.

In the past three days, nearly 10,000 people bought off the soldiers guarding the city at night and came to the outside of the barracks with their families.

After screening, more than a hundred more people were screened out, and no one was able to prove their identity.

However, Li Xing did not kill them, but vaccinated them, expelled them from the barracks, and told them that the reason for not accepting them was because he was afraid that there were spies among them.

When those people left, Jiang Hong had to send scouts to follow them.

was stopped by Li Xing.

Jiang Hong was puzzled: "Lao Li, after they go out, there will definitely be contradictions, we will catch the real spies back, and we can get the situation in the city as quickly as possible, so as to formulate a siege plan." ”

"The art of war, the good strategy, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight, this is the highest state of siege."

Li Xing suddenly said this.

Jiang Hong pouted: "I see that you are daydreaming and want to eat fart!" I have been reading military books since I was a child, and I have never seen a soldier who surrenders without occupying it. ”

"Your Highness, haven't you read the Art of War?"

Li Xing remembered before, but he specially exchanged Sun Tzu's Art of War for him.

"I've read it, but this palace feels that many places are too idealistic and not suitable for reality."

Li Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This prince is a little floating!

"Your Highness, let me see this time, what is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight!"

Li Xing said it very confidently this time.

Even the eldest princess of the Holy Maiden, Jiang Muxuan, who had not spoken, couldn't help but look at Li Xing curiously.

She had never heard of a soldier who could surrender without a fight.

Also What is Sun Tzu's Art of War?

Why hasn't she heard of it yet?

"Okay, you're right, but you also have to let me know why you don't send someone to follow them!"

Jiang Hong asked again.

Li Xing said: "Those spies should not be sent by a family, otherwise how can they not know each other, if one party is sent, they must have discussed how to deal with this situation before coming, and they must cover each other." ”

"Those people, who didn't play cover, obviously didn't do this kind of thing often, but were temporarily delegated, so they were inexperienced."

When Jiang Hong heard this, he suddenly realized: "You mean, the city is in chaos now?" ”

Li Xing nodded: "It should be like this, even if there is no chaos on the surface, there may have been an undercurrent, they came here to determine whether we really have the means to treat smallpox epidemic." ”

"No wonder you let people vaccinate them!"

When Jiang Hong said this, he suddenly thought of something: "It's not good, if it's really as you said, we will manage the camp of the disaster victims, and we will inevitably be mixed in by their people, if we take the opportunity to make trouble and give us an internal and external attack, we will be in trouble." ”

Li Xing smiled, took out a secret letter from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Hong.

"You'll understand when you read that."

Jiang Hong took it puzzled.

Open the envelope and pull out the stationery inside.

After reading it, the expression on his face slowly softened.

Especially at the end of the letter, there was a smile on his face: "This Guo Yuan Guo Xiucai is really good, I thought he was a nerd, but I didn't expect to know some military affairs, know how to ensure the safety of the camp, and establish a joint defense battalion." ”

"Yes! is such a talent, but he is still only a showman, it can be seen that the bureaucratic system of my Great Xia has long been monopolized by the children of those families. ”

Li Xing suddenly had a feeling.

"Therefore, this palace must be indignant and strong, establish a strong army, first take back the military power, and then slowly carry out reforms, so that people of insight in the world can make the best use of their talents."

Jiang Hong clenched his fists tightly, blushing and saying the true thoughts that had been held in his heart.

"Your Highness's ambition is admired by your majesty."

Li Xing slapped a rainbow fart past.

Looking at Li Xing, who was changing so quickly, Jiang Muxuan's beautiful eyes were constantly changing again.

She couldn't understand why a person was still a good minister who worried about the country and the people a second ago.

In the next second, you can become a traitor who slaps his beard.

Is that the real him?

Could it be that this person is what the master said, a capable minister in the prosperous era and a traitor in the troubled times?

Thinking of this, Jiang Muxuan decided to follow Li Xing for the time being, she wanted to understand clearly, what is Li Xing's personality?

If this person is really the demon star in Master's mouth who is about to cause chaos in the world, she will kill him as soon as possible.

Li Xing felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

Thinking of the beating I received yesterday, I was a little afraid.

Pretending not to find out, he said to Jiang Hong: "Your Highness, let's go and meet the old man of the Hu family, bring the shadow guard, and let him know that there is a price to be paid for being hard-mouthed." ”

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot that old man, his Hu family has bought and sold a lot of grain and grass in the court over the years."

After Jiang Hong finished speaking, he grabbed Li Xing's arm and ran out.

When the eldest princess saw this scene, she was thoughtful.

After hesitating, he followed.

When he saw the old lady of the Hu family this time, he no longer had the calm he had before.

Because he understood that Li Xing did not lie to him, his poison Li Xing could really be solved.

"Looking at your haggard face, you must have understood the situation at this time, I still say the same thing, I don't want Ying Wei to use means, just honestly explain everything you know."
