No matter how Chunyuan and Qin Zhen jumped, it was useless. What is done cannot be undone. They still strengthened their vigilance and were full of vigilance against Wu Nian, who was entrenched in Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion.

But they were helpless in the face of Wu Nian, who was guarding the mountains.

And Wang Zhongbi doesn't care, he lives as usual.

Beautiful.

Nanhai Province.

The whole of Namhae Province.

After many homeless people defected to Wu Nian. The population density in Nanhai Province has suddenly dropped a lot, especially the population in the city. Compared with before, the six county towns of Nanhai Prefecture can be described as "empty".

This greatly reduced the burden on the Governor of Qian Neng. While mobilizing grain from the state of Chu, he also opened a porridge factory to provide relief to the victims.

And Wang Zhongbi openly took out military rations. It is sold in six castles, and the price is very high. It's not outrageous, it's within the range of people's acceptance.

He was making a fortune, making a fortune with military rations. It was as if it was a huge baby, opening its mouth wide, frantically absorbing the wealth of Nanhai Prefecture.

The amount of this wealth is staggering. Wang Zhongbi's waist bag was visibly bulging with the naked eye, and his life was visibly better.

And the wallets of the remaining people in Nanhai Mansion are drying up day by day.

Qian Neng gritted his teeth at this, and constantly gave the court a fold and impeached Wang Zhongbi. But Wang Zhongbi seems to have taken root, let him wind in the southeast and northwest, and he will not fall.

Qian Neng is already desperate.

This morning. Outside the Shanhaiguan General Army. There were a number of baggage trucks parked, and the big cars were covered with tarpaulins, so that outsiders could not see clearly what was being loaded here.

But judging by the subtle marks, the thing here is heavy and square. It could be a big box.

Around the cart, there were many soldiers to protect it. These soldiers were all burly, with a sharp gaze and a murderous aura. Or wearing a battle jacket, or wearing armor, the elite is abnormal.

In the house, in the study. Wang Zhongbi sat on the main seat, and in front of him stood his henchman, Liu Shuisheng.

"Aquatic. This time it was twenty-five thousand taels of silver. You have to take good care of it, and don't let the thieves take it away. The officials on the road, I have taken care of them, and no one will check you. When you arrive in Chudu, you will hand it over to my butler. He will give it to its owner. ”

"This is my note. When you arrive in Chudu, you hand over the strips to my housekeeper. He will give you a thousand taels. You are my confidant. I will not treat you badly. ”

Wang Zhongbi's expression was very solemn, he took out an envelope and handed it to Liu Shuisheng, and finally showed an expression of "I trust you very much".

It's okay for Wang Zhongbi to be so greedy, of course there is a protector on his head. Otherwise, a civil official of the governor of Liaodong can hang him.

"The general is reassured. I'll do it. Liu Shuisheng's face showed joy, he reached out and took the envelope and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a fist.

"Hmm. Go ahead. Wang Zhongbi nodded, raised his right hand and said.

Liu Shuisheng nodded, and simply turned around and left.

"What does this barbarian land in Liaodong have to do with me? Money is real. Wang Zhongbi smiled, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and drank it.

"Besides. Although I made the sky angry and resentful, the army was not chaotic. If the army is not chaotic, Wu Nian will not be able to attack. I have 80,000 horses and infantry troops, guarding six cities and one pass. How did he get in? Assault? Many, many people are scared to death. Besides. And the Mengyuan people, they will help me. ”

Wang Zhongbi's expression was relaxed, and his eyes showed a shrewd look.

Greed for money is greed for money, decay is decay, he can indeed fight. At a glance, he could see that if he was in trouble, Meng Yuan would definitely help him.

Eat hard, eat hard.

Open your mouth and sweep away the wealth of this Nanhai Mansion.

Outside the house. Liu Shuisheng turned on his horse, led the elite soldiers, escorted the baggage cart, and slowly walked out of the city.

On the city gate, in front of the city gate tower. Liu Sheng stood with his waist knife in his hand, watching the team leave. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said, "Damn it." We were hungry, but the king was well fed. If only General Xiong were in ........ ”

He is a creep.

When the bear is gone, he does not withhold the money and food of the soldiers. Now Wang Zhongbi took out military rations and sold them among the people. As a result, the soldiers' rations and salaries were only sixty percent of what they used to be.

Oil and water or something, not to mention.

In fact, I can barely eat enough, but as soon as I train, I have to be hungry. In the Xiong Wuself period, the soldiers practiced once every three days, but now they practice once every ten days.

The 80,000 horse infantry army quickly changed from an elite soldier to an ordinary soldier. Moreover, morale is generally not high.

"Don't say it. You don't want to die. If outsiders hear it, report it to the top. You are quickly buried in a hole and written on the Deserter List. ”

A comrade-in-arms next to Liu Sheng changed his face and opened his mouth to reprimand.

Liu Sheng's expression changed, and he stopped complaining stupidly, looking like he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

...........

Afternoon.

Jiang County.

General Fuhan's Mansion, inside the hall. Wu Nian sat with the important ministers to discuss. Three maidservants walked in from outside, holding dumplings and condiments in their delicate hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm hungry. This is the dumpling made by my wife herself, and it is fragrant. Wu Nian smiled and greeted. He picked up the dishes and chopsticks himself and ate them in large gulps.

In one bowl, there are only ten dumplings. For Wu Nian's stomach, it was like playing a toothpick, and he quickly finished eating.

The others didn't have the appetite of Wu Nian, and ate in small bites.

After everyone finished eating, they picked up their handkerchiefs and wiped their mouths. The maid went down with the dishes and chopsticks.

According to Chen Jiagui's information. Now Wang Zhongbi's army has almost reached its limit. Wang Zhongbi did not rot to the bones and maintained a certain combat effectiveness. ”

"He had an army of 80,000 horses, garrisoning six cities and a mountain pass. If I attack, I'll still have a lot of damage. ”

"Do you have any ideas for him to come out?" Wu Nian raised his head and went straight to the road.

The first is strategy, the second is diplomacy, the third is field warfare, and the fourth is siege.

Wu Nian himself is a country that defends the city and is an expert in defense. Every day, I study the city defense of Nanhai Mansion, and I have a terrible headache.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't have any ideas. This Wang Zhongbi evenly distributed his troops in the six cities, and he made up his mind that he could not shrink.

Moreover, Wang Zhongbi is first greedy for money, not for meritorious service. It's easier said than done to draw him out.

Wu Nian was a little disappointed and turned his head to look at Liu Zhixing. Liu Zhixing is busy with affairs on weekdays, but he also has a way to think of it. Facing Wu Nian's gaze, he arched his hand and said, "General." I really have an idea for that. ”
