"Captain Wang~" A soldier pressed the bronze long sword in one hand, kept jumping up and waving his right hand, shouting at Wang Ye through the crowd.

The soldier's straps were tilted a little by the vigorous movement, and he kept straightening his hands, and he didn't even have time to stop to re-tie the lacing.

Sweat flowed down his face, and there was some foam on his lips because of the long shouting.

Wang Ye turned around after hearing the cry, only to notice the big hand that jumped up and waved.

"Eh, here!" With that, he began to squeeze through.

At this time, Wang Ye's heart was shocked, the people who originally thought that they had escaped were like bees at this time, the men were carrying flat poles, and their dolls and all their belongings were sitting in the baskets on both sides, desperately padding their feet to look at and squeeze in from time to time.

Today is March 17, and it has only been a little more than a day since Guan Cheng said that there is food to receive here, but the number of people who have appeared has exceeded 5,000.

The mountains of grain and grass that had been piled up in the camp were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the soldiers who were temporarily on duty struggled to gather the chaotic crowd together, and the long lines of twists and turns reached out of the main camp.

The soldiers handed over a bag full of fine grain to the man in front of them, and then said with a smile: "Carry it, this is the kindness of His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

The man was grateful, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and kept muttering: The grass people have thanked His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and wish him a long life.

For this situation, the soldiers are obviously used to a lot, and they can't help laughing when they think of their Royal Highness, the princes are eager to snatch the last grain in the hands of the people for the sake of power and selfish desires, not to mention the mountain of grain distributed to the people for free like the King of Jin.

The simplicity of ordinary people lies in the fact that they don't care if you give these things if you are superfluous, they only know that this is life-saving food. The crossing of the army ruined everything for them, and the arrival of the Jin soldiers made the already not rich life even worse.

Now, looking at the bag in his hand, which has always been full of refined food that can only be seen but not eaten, many men and women are crying excitedly.

The hungry children were also cheering constantly, and being able to eat was their only dream, and the dream had never been more within reach.

Constantly some people knelt on the ground and shouted Guan Cheng's gifts, and the elderly woman trembled and muttered that she must set up an immortal tablet for His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

In the eyes of the princes, the grass people, who were as humble as ants, could only express their feelings in such a direct and simple way.

Wang Ye squeezed through the crowd and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier wiped the sweat on his face, and the stains on his hands immediately swiped his face, but his smile could not be concealed, "Captain Wang, here you are behind again!" ”

Wang Ye was startled and hurriedly asked, "Here you go again?" How many people came? ”

"The exact number is not clear, but there are 2,000 people at least. Niu Yousi asked the little one to come back to tell him, and Niu Yousi also said that I am afraid that there will be people coming again today, and the number is likely to exceed 5,000 people. ”

Hiss, Wang Ye gasped, he didn't deny that he could gather more than 10,000 people here in two days, but during the war, the people were often the first to run, and they would have their own skills to escape and hide, if it wasn't for knowing the root or someone leading the way, even if the army of 10,000 people searched for two days, it couldn't find hundreds of people, but now just by Guan Cheng's words, so many people flocked to come, Even if Guan Cheng repeatedly instructed that everyone must ensure that everyone can receive food so that everyone can return with a full load, even if almost all the young and strong soldiers are transferred to maintain order and distribute food, it still makes Wang Ye feel in a hurry.

Wang Yeyi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I know here, you quickly report this matter to His Highness." ”

Guan Cheng was now on the high watchtower, looking at the excited crowd with a somewhat intoxicated expression.

Wu Chengju is now adjusting his breathing from time to time, his chest rising and falling, obviously very unsettled.

"Your Highness, is there a little too many people coming?"

Guan Cheng asked, "Is it much?" ”

Wu Chengju looked at the crowd in the distance that was still rushing by, and under the guidance of the soldiers, it slowly dispersed into a trickle, and slowly squirmed forward.

"The neighborhood has been ransacked by rebels, but it can still gather so many people in just one day, it seems that the civilians have their own channels, and nothing will pass on the news faster than them."

Guan Cheng said with a smile: "General Wu is very pleased to have this feeling. ”

"But Your Highness, the minister has something unclear."

Guan Cheng said disapprerovantly: "Say it, I hope you can speak freely, after all, if you listen partially, you will listen to it secretly." ”

Wu Chengju thought for a while and said: "Your Highness's move is certainly benevolent, but how can we get these gratitude even if they are grateful and we are thousands of miles away?" ”

"Don't you say that the people have their own channels for delivering news? Just do everything, don't worry, someone will promote it for us. ”

Wu Chengju thought for a moment, and then asked: "Ordinary people can't get out of a hundred miles in their lives, how can His Highness the thousands of people in front of him guarantee that he has done useless deeds?" ”

Guan Cheng turned to look at Wu Chengju and asked, "You know that you have the ambition of the world, but have you thought about what the ambition of the world depends on?" ”

"Naturally, it's a hundred battles!" Wu Chengju replied without thinking.

"How many Hundred Battles Tiger Ben?"

This is a highly professional problem, although Wu Chengju is only a Sima commander of more than 2,000 people, but there are some maps in Guan Ze's dormitory, Guan Cheng also has them, and Wu Chengju has really come into contact with a lot of things with Guan Cheng.

Just like the entire Datong 54 vassal states, more than 600 counties, more than 5,000 counties.

"It may take more than 500,000 elite armor soldiers to dominate the world."

Wu Chengju said the ideal number that was reasonable in his heart.

"500,000 soldiers! On average, there are only 100 people in a county, just two miles. ”

Guan Cheng smiled and looked down again and asked, "There are thousands of people here, how many people does General Wu think can become armor soldiers?" ”

Then without waiting for Wu Chengju to answer, he continued: "There are more than 5,000 counties in Datong, there are 70,000 or 80,000 households and more than 300,000 people, and the small ones are only a few thousand. If you add the officials at all levels, as well as the armor of the soldiers, the swords, how many people are needed to provide for them, as well as horses, equipment, grain and grass, craftsmen, doctors, etc. ”

"Regardless of natural disasters and man-made disasters, let's just say how many people are willing to serve as soldiers, why should the people die for you?"

"All they want is a full day's food, a little snack is a celebration after the New Year, and if there is spare money to pull some cloth, it will be a prosperous age."

"The family of scholars will not have these worries and scruples, so what they ask for is not only a bowl of Chinese food, but gold, silver and jewelry, and fertile land."

"Where did you get to the princess? They already have fiefdoms, small counties and large counties, and giants like Zhao Chu are even sitting on the land of nearly 100 counties and 1,000 counties, what are they all about? ”

"That is authority, and that is the world."

"These are not at all something that can be given by loneliness, and loneliness cannot afford to give. And even if Lone gives it, it can't be given, the disaster of the first emperor can not be repaired now, since Lone has decided to jump out of the encirclement, he will never go back to the old road, so Lone can only rely on you and these, what you see now is the vast number of beings who are regarded as ants by those princes. ”

Wu Chengju looked in the direction of Guan Cheng's finger, and there were already people in the distance who couldn't wait to set up a pot and start washing rice and cooking, and there were patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time, stopping many people who wanted to do bad deeds.

The breath of fireworks wafted up in Wu Chengju's eyes.
