Outside Tugu City, all the soldiers looked at Zhang Chong, waiting for him to make up his mind. Fight or go?

Walk!

Zhang Chong immediately made this judgment at this moment. At this moment, they were completely incapable of fighting this battle, and after walking all night, they were all tired, and they did not have any siege equipment, not even a ladder.

What's more, Zhang Chong's original plan had no intention of attacking the county seat now. There is one thing that he and the high-level of Taiping Dao think in agreement, that is, at this stage, it is necessary to keep the light and keep the obscurity.

In the Han Dynasty, although the administrative system was lowered to the villages, in fact, the scope of Han control was very limited. They even need to rely on the power of their own county for the governance of their county, let alone the township.

So when Zhang Chong was in the mountains and in the countryside, it was really not even one thing for the Han family.

Since ancient times, all liuguan has always only cared about three things, one is the upper calculation, how many Dingkou households under the rule, and how much grain they can receive. The second is that there is nothing to do under the rule. As long as his county is not chaotic, it really doesn't matter how the countryside is. The third is to make money, and make money in various names.

Therefore, Zhang Chong knows where the bottom line of the Han family is, Zhang Chong is how to fight in Mount Tai, as long as he does not mess with the county, those two thousand stones can also turn a blind eye.

But now, if Zhang Chong beats this Tugu City, the contradiction will intensify, which is not conducive to Zhang Chong's future planning.

Therefore, when Zhang Chong led his troops to get lost and arrived in Tugu City, he knew that this battle could not be fought.

But how do you withdraw your troops?

Zhang Conflict thought of the deeds of one person, and then began to explain that the generals behind him acted according to the order.

--------------------------

The upstairs of Tugu County were in chaos at this time.

They were just about to prepare to send grain to the front line this day, but this was an order from the Jinan minister, and the county magistrate asked the local hometown Hao to co-organize another batch of grain from this autumn, and they were ready to send it to the front line.

But the townsmen did not cooperate, because they were injured by the soldiers of Dongpingling.

When the Jin father and son in the west of the county were struck by the soldiers of Dongpingling, these villagers found themselves in an embarrassing situation, that is, they were broken by Taishan thieves, and they had no land. But counting on Dongpingling to suppress the Taishan soldiers, they may have land, but they basically have no heads.

And it was precisely for the township tycoons that Taishan soldiers only harmed the west of the county, and although the rest of the township tycoons were frightened, they actually had no losses. But as soon as the Dongping Ling soldiers came, something was wrong.

For example, the Dongping Tomb Soldiers had broken the Jin Wall five days ago, although the Jin father and son died, and they were injured, but the Dongping Tomb Soldiers were leaving, and they were able to return to the peace of the past.

However, five days have passed, and these foreign soldiers have not moved a single step, on the contrary, they have continued to urge the rear to transport more millet to support the front line. Even these soldiers detained the first wave of cattle they transported, and it is said that they were eaten by the Dongping Ling soldiers later.

I really don't know how rare animals are. What are these cows for satisfying their appetites? And all the land of their houses is ploughed by these animals.

But at this point, they also confessed. But now the county magistrate wants them to cooperate again, and they are not happy. Love whoever you love, anyway, it's not their wall.

Houxian Temple promised that the land of the Jin family could be sold to them first, so another batch was raised.

On this day, as soon as it was about to be transported to the front line, there was a loud guard on the tower here, saying that there was a wave of soldiers from outside the county, and the flag looked like a thief from Mount Tai.

The county lieutenant who received the warning here hurriedly ascended the city gate tower. As soon as he looked at the thief soldiers, he saw a man who looked like the head of the thief, standing on the slope, as if he was dispatching the soldiers and horses in the rear.

At this time, there was the sound of golden drums in the distance, and the county lieutenant secretly said that it was not good, so he immediately asked the soldier Cao Chang to let the people roll stones and fall trees, ready to defend the city at any time.

But after the sound of the golden drum over there, the county lieutenant waited for a long time, but he didn't see the thieves coming up, so he became suspicious. He ordered a county official and asked him to go to the city to probe the army.

The county official's face was panicked, and he was hesitant for a long time, not that he was the only one in the family, but that the old mother in the family had no one to support.

What is the county lieutenant, he immediately blocked it:

"Don't be careful, your mother is my mother, and my wife is my wife. Go ahead. ”

The county official's face was blue and red for a while, and finally he was taken down from the city.

The county magistrate rubbed under the earthen wall, and then the county lieutenant shot an arrow, and he ran over in a puff of smoke.

A moment later, the county magistrate ran over sweating profusely and reported directly under the city:

"County lieutenant, the thieves are gone, and it's empty."

Someone on the tower of the city heard it, and he was clever, and immediately said to the county lieutenant:

"Congratulations to the county lieutenant, the thief was shot away by the county lieutenant."

The county lieutenant also came to his senses, and at first he was still self-conscious, but when he saw the county magistrate below, he suddenly shot him with an arrow. The people on the city tower were shocked, and they didn't know what the county lieutenant meant?

The county lieutenant pointed to the county officials under the city, and said:

"They will fellowship with thieves, and they will tell us to go out against thieves, and I expect that the enemy will set up an ambush near me. We can't fall for it, as long as we hold on to the city, the enemy will crush itself. ”

This reason is too far-fetched, how can the county officials be coaxed by this. But in fact, they just want a reason, and if there is a reason, it is actually the grudge between your county lieutenant and the person below, not that the county lieutenant is going crazy.

It is because the county officials have surrendered their hands, praised the county lieutenant and the military machine, and Sun Wu is reborn.

The county lieutenant over there looked at the dead county officials below in a flattering voice, and said silently:

"There is a sentence I am serious, your wife and I have always wanted to raise her. Go to Taishan Mansion with peace of mind, don't blame me, it's all fate. ”

----------------------------

Here, Zhang Chong used Sun Jian's old plan to get out with the soldiers, but the atmosphere was very dignified. To be honest, they have been working hard with Zhang Chong for so long, and they already have a bit of a strong army temperament.

The pride of the strong army did not allow them to leave without a fight, not to mention that under the leadership of Daqu Kui Zhang Chong, they were completely as gray as a lost dog.

Even Zhang Chong's plan to withdraw his troops seemed a little cowardly in the eyes of individual Geng Jie. In particular, some of the generals of this army led by Zhang Chong were originally demoted generals, and they had doubts about Zhang Chong, but when they saw Zhang Chong leaving without a fight, they immediately thought about it more.

Wang Han, one of the generals of the class, was originally unruly, and said directly to Zhang Chong in the army at this moment:

"Qu Kui, what's the reason for leaving without a fight today?"

When Zhang Chong heard this, he was silent, and Wang Han was still clamoring over there, he pulled a few of the original troops, pulled Zhang Chong's bridle, and said movingly:

"Qu Kui, at this moment, Tugu County must have felt that we have withdrawn, and if we kill back at this moment, we will be able to break the enemy."

When Zhang Chong heard this, he asked:

"And then? Broke Tugu County and then what? ”

Wang Han was stunned for a moment, but still replied truthfully:

"Today, the four seas are turbulent, and this is the time for heroes to fight. In a ravine like Mount Tai, how can the prestige of Qu Kuiren spread to the world. If you can use my plan, break the earth drum in the east, and go all the way to Dongpingling, it will inevitably shake the Eastern Qi. Those who have aspirations in the world must look at the scenery from. ”

Now Zhang Chongqi is surprised, he doesn't know that this Wang Han still has such a strategic awareness.

He is right, since ancient times, how to achieve great things in the ravines and ravines has been based on the competition for the city. But they didn't know that there was someone in history who had succeeded in making a name for himself from these ravines and ravines, and now he was following the example.

He didn't answer Wang Han directly, but asked Wang Han this question:

"Wang Han, from what you said, I know that you are a knowledgeable person. Then you teach me, in my capacity, after entering the city, can I sit still? ”

Wang Han thought carefully for a while and replied:

"Qu Kui, if you can block the surname Hao, with them as your arms, this city will naturally be able to sit."

"Okay, then as you said, I will block the surname Hao, then who will be the majority of disciples and heads of Qian? And I ask again, even if I block the surname Hao, will those Hao surnames be safe? Believe it or not, when I enter the city, the officers and soldiers will be notified by the surname Hao. Which of them does not regard us as enemies and ascensions? ”

Wang Han heard what Zhang Chong meant, and was anxious, he said:

"Qu Kui, let the world's wealthy surname be like this, then who will govern the place and raise money and food for Ren in the future?"

Zhang Chong really loves this Wang Han, and he has countless brave generals under his command, so what he is more eager for now is such a general with a political sense of smell, which will become an extension of political consciousness under his teaching, so he listened to Wang Han's words and did not get angry, but continued to ask:

"Then how do you think the wealthy people can govern the place? And how can they raise money for food and taxes? ”

Asking this is actually beyond Wang Han's cognition, he thought for a long time, but without a proper answer, he shook his head.

Zhang Chong told Wang Han:

"Back then, a certain Confucian said "poems" and "books" in front of Gaozu, and Gaozu also said that this world was laid down by Naigong immediately, read a fart "poem" and "book". That Confucianism is a good talker, saying that this will win the world immediately, can he rule the world immediately? Sure enough, Gaozu was ashamed and changed his will.

Since then, people of insight have said at every turn: This world is to rely on the strong to be safe, and it is to rule the world with the family, not with the people.

But what's the reasoning behind that?

In my opinion, it is nothing more than that the people with the surname Hao are powerful in the locality, so they will be listened to when they speak, so as to be able to block the place. So why were they able to raise money and pay taxes? Because they have culture.

This culture is not the poor and sour pentuch of the "poems" and "books" that I am talking about. Those who are condescending are just used by the wealthy to choose and use, what is the benefit of ruling the world?

In fact, it boils down to the simplest, they are literate and can count. These two items are the real business. Putting this aside, the so-called desire to rule the world with pride is nothing more than a lie for one's own future.

In this world, after all, it is inseparable from readers. That's right. But this world can leave a particular reader. If they can read, I can let others read. ”

Hearing this, Wang Han thought for a while, and he asked Qu Kui again:

"Qu Kui, then you shouldn't be arrogant, then how can you win the world."

Zhang Chong drew his knife and said to Wang Han:

"Rely on this, is it enough?"

Wang Han shook his head and said:

"It's not enough, people have knives too."

Zhang Chong smiled, and then he pointed to the soldiers around him, and said:

"Is it enough for my brothers?"

Wang Han shook his head again and said to Zhang Chong:

"Not enough, there are more brothers."

Hearing this, Zhang Chong laughed, it was a real hearty laugh, and he would talk to Wang Han today about who he relied on to fight the world and who he relied on to rule the world.
