After explaining Zhang Han's various matters, Wang Cheng did not immediately return to Nanli, because he still had a lot of things to deal with.

How do you get these captives back?

How do you get the horses, cattle and sheep back?

Will Li Jun lead his troops to come today?

These things need to be dealt with as soon as possible, and they cannot be delayed, and many things are prone to change as soon as they are delayed.

So, early in the morning, Wang Cheng began to deal with these things.

First of all, he pulled Shanze Taro and those people in Shanze to encourage them, telling them that Nanli County is full of gold, and life is much more comfortable than here, and follow him Wang Cheng to eat and drink spicy food.

The people of the Yamazabe who were originally going to die were all pardoned, which was simply unbelievable.

Don't talk about them, even Wang Cheng couldn't believe their reaction, this group of people was willing to leave here, it seemed that Da Zhou was heaven.

What the fuck is going on?

Wang Cheng himself was confused, and it wasn't until Yamazawa Taro explained to him that he fully understood.

Sentimental Shan Ze Taro has always preached to him about the richness and strength of Da Zhou, so Da Zhou is really a paradise in the eyes of these people, and everyone yearns for it.

Wang Cheng glanced at Shanze Taro with a strange face, this person originally wanted to promote the richness of the Great Zhou and let the clansmen rob it, but now he got a god to assist.

After solving the most difficult problems, the affairs of horses, cattle and sheep will be easy to handle, and then we will go back to the south with the people.

However, not everyone is willing, and a small number of people even have obvious hostility towards Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng saw a dark-skinned, blue-eyed teenager in the crowd, and he had murderous intent towards him.

He didn't bother to ask why, because after all, they were hostile, and he had killed a lot of people from the Shanze tribe, and it was impossible to resolve this contradiction in a few words.

Therefore, he wants the majority of people to be obedient, and those who do not want to be obedient will naturally have a way to deal with it.

Noon.

Regardless of the people from the Shanze Department, or Wang Cheng and others, they are all eating normally.

Beef and mutton are indispensable, and the most important thing here is beef and mutton.

Wang Cheng did not discriminate, and also distributed the beef and mutton to the people of the Shanze Department.

Although they raise a large number of cattle and sheep, it is impossible to eat them every day, especially now that it is only July.

Wang Cheng noticed that these people were eating a kind of white batter, and at first he thought it was flour, until someone brought out something with red skin, and he immediately remembered what it was.

"Sweet potato!"

Wang Cheng was extremely surprised that he found this kind of food that should not appear here.

Zhang Han looked at the white paste and said in disgust: "General, can you eat this thing?" ”

"That's good stuff!"

Wang Cheng nodded, and then asked someone to bring over the whole sweet potato that had not been ground into powder.

He first sold the sweet potatoes and then put them in a bonfire.

After a while, he took out the roasted sweet potato, broke it in half and handed it to Zhang Han, and said, "Taste it." ”

Zhang Han took the sweet potato and did not doubt it, because the fragrance of the sweet potato had already told him that this thing tasted good.

He took a bite, his mouth was so hot that his little mouth was "ho-ho", and said, "Sweet!" Delicious! ”

Salt and sugar have always been controlled by the imperial court, salt is not very rare for him, but sugar is rare to eat once, so it is the first time he has eaten such a sweet thing.

Seeing Zhang Han gobbling up, Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Lao Zhang, what do you think of bringing sweet potatoes back to Nanli County to plant?" ”

Zhang Han stuffed the small half of the sweet potato in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "General, doesn't this thing grow in the mountains?" Can it be planted in Nanli County? ”

"Sweet potatoes are plants with well-developed root systems and strong fertilizer absorption ability, and prefer loose, fertile soil with deep soil. In our place, sweet potatoes are also called taro, and many places in Nanli County are sandy soil, which is very suitable for growing. ”

Wang Cheng said: "The yield of sweet potatoes is very high, and one mu of land can produce thousands of catties, which is much higher than the yield of rice and wheat!" ”

"How can you produce such a high yield?"

Zhang Han was taken aback and couldn't wait: "If this thing is introduced into Nanli, from now on, the defenders of Nanli will no longer worry about military rations." ”

"Not bad!" Wang Cheng nodded.

"Hey! Our trip is worth it, not to mention that we have so many cattle and sheep, and we have found such treasures. Zhang Hanxi said.

Wang Cheng was happy in his heart, with sweet potatoes and cattle and sheep, even if the families in Nanli County regretted not supplying them with grain and grass, he didn't need to worry.

"Wait for a part of the men and horses to ambush near the entrance, it's been so long, Li Jun should have received the letter."

Wang Cheng looked back at the entrance and gave Zhang Han another advice.

"General, will Li Jun really come?" Zhang Han expressed skepticism.

Wang Cheng said: "Whether he comes or not, we must prepare in advance." If not, then proceed as we planned. In short, this Li Jun must not be allowed to be comfortable. ”

Zhang Han groaned: "This Li Jun is really not an ordinary person, he even knows many of our secret arrangements." ”

"Secret?"

Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "What kind of secret is there?" The things we do can be hidden from outsiders, how can the people inside hide it? ”

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he remembered something, and exclaimed: "What does the general mean, there are spies among us?" ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Wang Cheng was vague, and continued: "Okay! You go and arrange people first, if you can catch Li Jun today, I want to see how he knows so many secrets in our army. ”

"Order!"

Zhang Han got up, saluted, and just walked a few steps, he turned around and took out two sweet potatoes from the bonfire, and walked away with a smile.

Wang Cheng smiled and shook his head, now Zhang Han still wants to eat sweet potatoes, and when he is here with sweet potatoes for three meals a day, he promises to want to vomit when he sees sweet potatoes.

The scorching sun is gradually setting in the west.

Until the sun set, Wang Cheng still couldn't wait for Li Jun, and he had to give up.

He brought Zhang Han in again and asked him to act according to the second set of plans before.

After another instruction, he personally led 300 cavalry, escorted more than 2,000 Shanzebu people, as well as most of the horses, cattle and sheep, and rushed back to Nanli County at night.

He didn't take all the people of the Yamazawa tribe with him, the patriarch Yamazawa Taro left him to Zhang Han, and all the people of the Yamazawa tribe who were hostile to him also stayed here.

Because these people will only cause trouble for him when they bring them back, stay here to raise cattle and horses for them, and if necessary, they can take thunderous measures.

Therefore, he left 10,000 cattle and sheep, and 500 horses, and he should make good use of the feng shui treasure here.

The speed of going back is much slower than when I came, when I came I traveled lightly, and when I went back, I took so many people, cattle, sheep and livestock, and the speed was naturally a lot slower.

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Cheng and others rushed back to Nanli County.

It was the time when the people were asleep, and their return did not alarm the whole city.

Of course, this was also specially arranged by Wang Cheng, and he didn't want to expose everything he had done before.

So, he left the more than 2,000 people from the mountains and 90,000 cattle and sheep outside the city.

He called Changshi Liu Qingsheng over, and Liu Qingsheng lived on the city tower.

Liu Qingsheng is the chief of the army, Wang Cheng led the troops away, and all the defense in the city was naturally taken over by him.

He looked at the dense human heads in front of him, as well as the cattle and sheep that could not see the edge at a glance, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"My lord, where did you get these?"

Wang Cheng didn't hide it, and told the whole story.

Liu Qingsheng twisted his short beard under his chin and said, "I didn't expect that there was a tribe in the Gaoshan Country hidden in the Nanli Mountain Range. ”

He has been an official in Ji County all these years, and he is familiar with the military deployment of the entire Huangzhou, but he has never heard of the Nanli Mountains living in the mountains.

Everyone in the world knows that the Nanli Mountain Range is a demon mountain, and no one lives.

Nowadays, it seems that it is not that no one lives, but that the world knows too little about it.

"These people and cattle and sheep appear here, I don't want others to know about it soon, I mean I can hide it for a while, I don't know what the gentleman has to do?" Wang Cheng asked.

Liu Qingsheng thought for a while and said, "If so many people from the mountains flow into the city, they will inevitably be exposed, so it is better to place them nearby, and it just so happens that the 90,000 cattle and sheep are also taken care of." ”

He smiled again: "Since your lord has promised to let these people of the mountain country live a good life, it is better to return these cattle and sheep to them, and when these cattle and sheep are fattened, we will spend some money to buy them." When they have money and a home, they will naturally be grateful to adults. ”

Wang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, then pointed at Liu Qingsheng with a smile, and said, "Mr. is still thoughtful, so I will do what Mr. wants." ”

"However, since it is a gesture of goodwill, let's simply do it in one step. Let the brothers in our camp build some houses and give some food to the people of Shanzebu, so that they can feel our sincerity. ”

Liu Qingsheng smiled: "Your Excellency is wise! ”

"Mr. has been an official in the Xia Kingdom for many years, have you heard of Li Jun?" Wang Cheng asked again.

Liu Qingsheng shook his head and said, "No." ”

But he changed his words: "This person can control a tribe, and he must not be an idle person." Li Jun may not be the person's real name, but just a pseudonym. ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Sir's words are not unreasonable, maybe Li Jun is really just a pseudonym." It's a pity that I couldn't catch this person, this person knows too much. ”

"Don't worry, adults! The fox has already shown its tail, and sooner or later it will be able to pull him out. Liu Qingsheng said.

"I've already arranged this."

Wang Cheng then informed him of his second plan, and said, "Sir also wants to help me keep an eye on whether there is anyone in the city to pass on the news to the outside world." ”

Liu Qingsheng nodded, he knew the meaning of Wang Cheng's words.

A person from the Xia Kingdom knew so well about the every move of the defenders in Nanli, if there was no one to deliver the news, it would be impossible.

"This matter must be investigated, the sooner the better, I want to know, who is so eating inside and out, colluding with outsiders!" Wang Cheng said coldly.

Liu Qingsheng said: "Yes! ”
