Chapter 112: Negotiations Begin

The gate of Langya City was opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.

Xiao Sandao led a thousand cavalry to battle, both sides shot their positions, Xiao Sandao flew out with a horse, and asked to challenge Lu Bu by name.

Now Lu Bu's identity is different, and the people who want to fight are also famous generals in the world, and not everyone can fight against Lu Bu.

Guan Hai asked for battle: "Lord, let me teach this kid a lesson who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

"Okay, stay safe."

"Yes."

Guan Hai flew out as soon as he swooped out, and the big iron spear pierced Xiao Sandao's throat, this shot was fast and ruthless.

Xiao Sandao's big knife was erected, and the two horses circled and fought in one place.

As soon as he fought, Guan Hai found that this Xiao Sandao did have two strokes, and he was skilled in swordsmanship and powerful.

But Guan Hai Na is also a rare fierce general, and the big iron spear flew up and down, and he fought for more than 20 rounds.

Guan Hai pumped a cold shot and shot at the iron armor on Xiao Sandao's back.

Xiao Sandao rolled the saddle and fell off the horse and was captured by Guan Haisheng.

All the troops at the head of Langya City were afraid, but Lu Bu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and gave up his hand: "Xiao Taishou, you think about what I will say, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Lu Bu returned to the army and found an open area in the west of Langya City to set up camp, the camp was neat and uniform, and the fence was dense.

Patrol sergeants patrol back and forth.

In the camp, Xiao Sandao checked the injury, and there was no problem, the skin was traumatic.

The medical staff put on some bruises, changed their clothes, and arranged a private tent to rest for a while.

In the afternoon, someone came to invite Xiao Sandao.

"General Xiao, Wen Hou is invited."

Xiao Sandao didn't want to go over, but after he was arrested, people treated him politely and did not humiliate him.

"Lead the way."

"General Xiao, please."

The soldier took Xiao Sandao and walked a long way to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Along the way, Xiao Sandao saw the soldiers standing straight one by one along the road.

The smell of chicken came from the big tent, and Xiao Sandao strode in.

There are not many people inside, there are only four people in total, Chen Gong, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and Guan Cheng.

Guan Hai saw Xiao Sandao coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Brother Xiao is here, please sit down, please sit down." I couldn't stop this morning, the two armies couldn't hold their hands in front of the formation, and they wounded their brothers. ”

Xiao Sandao waved his hand: "The knife and gun have no eyes, not to mention this small injury, it is not in the way." ”

Xiao Sandao sat on the table next to Guan Hai, and soon brought a porcelain pot of chicken soup and a pot of good wine.

Chen Gongyi stretched out his hand: "General Xiao, please, don't be polite." ”

Xiao Sandao was also hungry, and Chen Gong and others accompanied him, eating the mountains and the sea together.

Although there is not much wine, it is very strong, and the chicken soup is very fragrant.

After a while, Xiao Sandao was a little drunk, and at the beginning several people did a good job, but now they don't sit well.

Guan Hai and Xiao Sandao sat at a table.

"I said brother, your sword skills are incredible, I actually barely won you today."

Xiao Sandao was happy in his heart: "Where, where." ”

"Brother Brother's marksmanship is amazing."

"Now, the world is in chaos, and the heroes are divided. It is the time for us to make contributions, Langya is a comfortable nest, and the heroism of the brothers is shortened. ”

Xiao Sandao is heart-warming, men are always ambitious, Langya County is indeed a small place, there is no worry about eating and drinking here, but in the same way, because there is no decent battle, his own martial arts have stagnated.

Guan Cheng smiled beside him: "Brother Xiao, there are a lot of Wen Hou's subordinates who use big knives. I use a big knife, and that Hua Xiong also uses a big knife.

Next to Dian Wei only cares about eating, he doesn't care about people, his task is to protect the safety of the big tent, as for persuading Xiao Sandao, it's not what he's good at.

Full of wine and food, Guan Hai got up and saw that it was not too early.

"Brother Xiao, it's not too early, the horses and blades are ready for you, I'll send you back."

Xiao Sandao was confused, and he sent himself back after eating and drinking?

"Thank you, General Guan."

Xiao Sandao got out of the tent, got on the war horse, and walked out of the camp with Guan Hai, and walked for a while.

Guan Hai stopped: "Brother, there is a city in front, you go back." ”

"Thank you, brother."

Xiao Sandao took the horse and rushed to the west gate of Langya City, and it was already dark at this time.

Before they reached the gate of the city, they heard the gate shouting, "Stop the people who are coming, and go forward with their bows and arrows." ”

Xiao Sandao was the main general, and there were hundreds of archers on the city tower, so he hurriedly stopped and shouted: "It's me, your head, open the door to Lao Tzu." ”

The soldier threw Xiao Sandao a torch, and then he saw it clearly.

"Head, it's really you, we thought you had a feast."

", I'm good, what kind of feast to eat."

"General Xiao, Lord Taishou has an order, you can come in, but you must leave your weapons at the city gate."

Xiao Sandao secretly scolded himself for being as timid as a mouse, but he had no choice but to do it.

I have no military power, I lost my weapon, I rode back to sleep, and there are always a few sneaky people at the door of my house.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Jian called Xiao Sandao over.

"Three knives, what did Wen Hou say yesterday?"

"Back to my lord, the junior general only had a drink with a few generals in the camp yesterday, and he put it back after eating, and he didn't see Wen Hou."

Xiao Jian was anxious and sent Xu Zhubo out of the city to negotiate.

This time, Chen Gong received Xu Zhubo, and the two sides were shabby.

Chen Gong said bluntly: "Xiao Taishou's official reputation is okay, and there is no such thing as oppressing the people." When Wenhou came to Langya County, he didn't want to fight and kill, but just wanted Langya to return to the establishment. ”

"Oh, what is Wen Hou going to do?"

"Xiao Taishou is still too shou, and he still works in Langya County. The strength of the troops is still retained, but it is necessary to train them for half a month in a unified manner, and allocate part of the military funds. ”

"Langya County, how much grain do you have to pay every year?" Xu Zhubo asked Xiao Jian the question he was most concerned about.

"Salt and iron monopoly, this is the iron law. Langya County salt tax and iron tax are paid half. As for the agricultural taxes, they are all self-supporting and need to install the requirements of the Yamen of the Assassin Shi to establish a righteous warehouse, and at the same time subsidize 100 catties of grain for the poor families to give birth to babies. In short, as long as the decree is unimpeded, the Wenhou army is not short of money and food. ”

Lord Xu pouted thinly, incredible.

Tao Qian will each send someone to Langya to ask for food twice, you must know that the grain production in this year is low, and the army is short of materials, how can there be enough grain and grass.

Chen Gong saw that Lord Xu Bo didn't believe it, and took him to the grain and grass storage place in the camp, where there was a pen with more than 100 fat pigs, all of which were fat pigs, and they were wagging their tails there to eat.

Chen Gong grabbed a handful of grain that the pig ate, such as grain bran, sorghum, wheat bran, and fish meal.

"Wen Hou is good at tuntian and breeding, and the army not only has enough food to eat, but also has plenty of meat, and the army eats meat four times a month. In normal years, the counties would not ask for food, but the counties would have to store food to protect the people from eating during the famine. ”

Xu Zhubo has been dealing with government affairs for a long time, and after communicating with Chen Gongyi, he found that Langya County was lagging behind compared to the outside.
