Chapter 435: Talent
Looking at the surprised expressions of the residents of Fort Art, Li Yunyang somewhat understood, no wonder these people reacted abnormally, did not put up any resistance, and handed over the weapons at home to show that they would accept the rule of the new lord.
Presumably, when Watsongill ruled Fort Arte, he acted cold-blooded and brutal, and the residents of Fort Artere were always shrouded in the shadow of death, so they had to join Watsongill's army in order to survive.
Therefore, after Li Yunyang led the army to break the city, the residents of Fort Arte appeared and asked Wagel if Watson Gill was dead.
Under the high pressure, there will inevitably be a rebound, and the resistance of the people of Atburg has been accumulated for too long, so not only did they not have the slightest resistance to Li Yunyang, but they welcomed this new lord a little.
The inhabitants of Fort Arte thought that whoever ruled was not the ruler anyway, and that it would be impossible for them to live a more terrifying life in the future than during the reign of Watson Gill.
How could Li Yunyang miss such a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, he immediately turned on his fighting spirit and shouted loudly: "You heard it right, from now on Fort Arte will be my territory, under my rule, the bow will be abolished, and the harsh punishment set by Watson Gill will also be abolished, starting from today, for a period of three years, the residents of Fort Arte will not need to pay half a copper tax!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the square of Fort Arte, and the residents looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly. It took a long time for the square to erupt in earth-shattering cheers.
"Lord Allen, wise, you are the most generous and merciful lord I have ever met, and you must be the savior sent by Heaven to save our Fort Arte!"
"Lord Allen, your benevolence is comparable to that of the gods in the sky, and that bastard of Watsongill is a demon in hell compared to you!"
"Lord Allen, I am willing to join your army and be loyal to you, even if I become your pawn and die on the battlefield immediately, I will never regret it!"
......
A lot of words of praise came out of the mouths of the residents of Fort Arte, Li Yunyang smiled indifferently, knowing that he had guessed correctly, it seemed that Watson Gill had a lot of grievances in Fort Arte, so much so that everyone wished that he would die a tragic death.
Looking at the residents of Fort Art, most of the clothes they wear are very plain, and there are many people with yellow faces and thin muscles, so Li Yunyang will say that he will be tax-free for three years.
After all, these people have been squeezed dry by Watson Gill, and if they collect taxes, they will not collect much money, but it is easy to provoke public resentment or cause people to defect to other territories.
And the tax exemption for three years is just enough for them to relax and live in Fort Yatter with peace of mind, and slowly turn Fort Yatter into a rich place, and when the time comes, they can collect taxes and gain the love of the people.
Li Yunyang waved his hand, and the residents of Fort Arte instantly quieted down, looking at him in awe, for fear of missing what Li Yunyang said.
Li Yunyang smiled and said: "Let's all go back and rest today, tomorrow we will still be in the square, I will send someone to register the register for you, if anyone has grievances, you can also let them record it, and I will help you deal with it all." ”
If Li Yunyang was in the hearts of the people of Fort Arte, he was the savior sent by God to save them, but now as soon as these words come out, Li Yunyang is simply a god in their hearts!
When Watsongill informed Fort Arter, how many people had been imprisoned because Watsongill was in a bad mood, and they were reduced to the coolies who built the castle, and they have not yet been released.
And Li Yunyang knew this, so he made such a decision, anyway, Fort Arte, a military fortress, has been built for more than ten years and has reached the level of a first-class military fortress.
Li Yunyang said that he directly picked up a big bargain, and after releasing those hard laborers, if he wanted to repair the castle, there would definitely be a large number of people who would appreciate his kindness and spontaneously come to help him.
After the cheers and praises of the residents of Fort Arte were over, Li Yunyang left the square and hurried towards the lord's mansion without stopping. He wanted to use the shortest possible time to completely stabilize Fort Arte, and then go to counterattack Pavas occupied by Watson Gill, so in terms of time, there was no delay for a moment.
Walking into the Lord's Mansion quickly, Li Yunyang didn't wait for Wager to salute him, so he ordered him: "Wagger, gather all the people in the Lord's Mansion for me, I want to ask them for questioning!"
However, Wagle did not act, but replied with a smile: "Lord Allen, the people of the Lord's Mansion have been gathered in the backyard by me, and they are all being guarded, just waiting for you to pass." ”
"Well done! Let's go to the backyard. There is a subordinate under his hand who can figure out what he wants to do, and he can really spend a lot less effort, Li Yunyang immediately praised Wagger.
A trace of joy flashed on Wagger's face, and as he walked, he handed Li Yunyang a booklet and said, "Lord Allen, this is the roster of those captured enemy troops, and it contains information about all of them. ”
Li Yunyang nodded with satisfaction, took the booklet, and flipped through it, while Wager followed him silently, and the two walked to the backyard of the Lord's Mansion together.
Watsongill took almost all the soldiers away this time, and all the lords' mansions were left with only a few dozen people, most of them were servants and miscellaneous servants, but the position of one of them caught his attention, and he said to Wagger, "Who is Herris? Bring him out for me." ”
Wagle walked into the guarded crowd, grabbed a tall, thin skinny young man with two mustaches, and said to Li Yunyang: "Lord Allen, he is Herris." ”
It was as if Herris hadn't woken up, and even though he was grabbed by Wagger's neck, he kept yawning as if he hadn't slept for seven days and seven nights.
Seeing that Li Yunyang was younger than him, Herris snorted disdainfully, and he didn't even bother to hide the contempt in his eyes.
Li Yunyang glanced at Herris carefully, looked at this guy who was in a state of limp but had a shrewd light in his eyes from time to time, and smiled: "Herris, are you a guest strategist under Watson Gill? The strategy used by the gray-robed middle-aged man just now should have been given to him, right?"
"How do you know it's me?" Hearing Li Yunyang's words, Herris, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly widened his eyes and couldn't help but ask.
Li Yunyang smiled, no matter how well this Herris disguised it, but after all, he was a young man, and the city government was still not deep enough.
If Herris glanced at Li Yunyang, who was young but had all kinds of special experiences, how could he be tested by him with a word.
Li Yunyang casually threw the roster to Herris, and said with a smile: "Herris, twenty-five years old, unknown origin, became a guest strategist under Watson Gill three years ago, and has given him advice many times, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats......
"Damn!" Herris took the roster, just glanced at it, and said to Li Yunyang with contempt: "These are all made up by the servants of the Lord's Mansion in order to survive, if I am really as powerful as they say, how can Watson Gill not bring me with him when he leads the troops to the battle?"
These rosters all have Wagle ordering his soldiers to separate the captives of the lord's mansion, and then ask them to tell each other the details of each other, so as not to miss any special people.
Unexpectedly, Wagel's careful move was to catch a big fish, Li Yunyang would not believe Herris's argument, he has no strength, and he is not Watson Gill's henchman, how could Herris become a guest strategist under Watson Gill!
You must know that the word guest strategist means that he is not ruled by Watson Gill, but he can enjoy the highest confidant treatment, and he does not need his attention for small things, and only the big things that cannot be handled will ask him for advice.
Without amazing strategy, how could Herris become a guest strategist under Watson Gill, this position is not something anyone can do if they want to!
And judging from Herris's appearance, Li Yunyang was even more sure of this, and he deliberately laughed and said: "Your Excellency Herris, you don't have to pretend to be annoyed and angry, and deliberately let me look down on you and think that you are nothing more than that. Since you didn't have any of my soldiers to lead the resistance during the assault on the Lord's Palace, or to commit suicide, it means that your loyalty to Watsongill is limited. ”
Herris, who was broken by Li Yunyang, was a little embarrassed on his face, but he was not acting, he still looked like he hadn't woken up, his eyes were half squinted and half open and he looked at him and said: "You guessed right, my loyalty to Watson Gill is indeed limited, and the previous strategy was indeed what I came up with, but that idiot didn't put down the drawbridge, otherwise I bet that you won't dare to attack!"
When Herris said this, he was slightly angry, he thought that by opening the city gate and withdrawing the defenders, he would be able to scare Li Yunyang and them, so that they would not dare to attack rashly without knowing the strength of Fort Art.
Who would have thought that the gray-robed middle-aged man's idiot actually didn't put down the suspension bridge, so that Li Yunyang could see the loophole in this strategy, so Atebao would be breached lightly.
However, what Herris didn't know was that even if his strategy was perfectly executed, Li Yunyang would not be fooled by it.
Li Yunyang saw with his own eyes that Watson Gill had brought almost all the troops to Parvas, how could there be a large number of troops left in Fort Art. Besides, although Herris was able to come up with such a clever plan as an empty city plan, how could Li Yunyang be deceived by this kind of strategy.
It's just that I have to say that this Herris is indeed a talent, and it is not easy to think of this kind of strategy in a short time. And his lack of loyalty to Watson Gill made Li Yunyang have a heart to recruit.
Li Yunyang has only now taken Fort Arte, and he needs someone like Herris who knows Fort Artere to do things for him, so that he can return to Pavas as soon as possible.
