Wang Qizhi explained to the child: "The rivers and lakes are not just the gathering places of those masters, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and they are people's hearts, so there are rivers and lakes everywhere."

The child nodded as if he didn't understand, and said to Wang Qizhi with his hands dancing: "In this way, I am also from the rivers and lakes?"

Wang Qizhi touched the child's little head, and didn't say anything, and when he grew up, the child understood the true identity of the big brother.

After discussing with Pang Tong, they decided to deliberately provoke the contradictions between the people and the gentry.

The taxes in the three places were much lower than before, and it was reasonable to say that the people would live a good life, but all the grain they grew went into the pockets of the gentry, and it was impossible for the two sides not to break out in conflict over time.

And Wang Qizhi's practice The people naturally can't say anything, plus during this period of time, those sects that do evil have been completely eradicated, and the image of Wang Qizhi acting for the people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they naturally will not point the finger at this young lord.

Soon, the people of the three regions began to riot and launched an attack on the gentry and landlords, who, although they had a great deal of wealth, were opposed to thousands of people, and he was too weak to do so, and they all appealed to the king for help.

Wang Qizhi pretended not to know anything, did not make any response, these gentry and landlords had no choice but to agree to reduce the rent for the people, from the original seventy percent, to thirty percent, plus one percent of the tax, the people can have sixty percent of their income after a year of hard work, which makes the people have hope, and the land is more hard-working.

Seeing that everything was done, Wang Qizhi stood up and said good things, so that the people on both sides retreated, and some smart people and gentry saw the clues, this lord was biased towards the people, otherwise he would not have come out to speak so late.

Even so, those gentry were helpless, the king abandoned this matter and did not intervene, even if he stood up and objected, there was no reason, so he had to suffer this dumb loss.

Of course, during this period of time, Erdan and Lin Shaoxia, Wu Anyi and Zhang Chuchu also got married, the four of them were together, and the witness was Wang Qizhi, so that Wang Qizhi's three guys had a family, and it was all a matter of the elders.

Zhang Chuchu's father, Zhang Shanmu, as a rich lord, contributed a lot of military expenses to Wang Qizhi in order to support his son-in-law.

A businessman like Zhang Shanmu can have such a title, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and his status has also improved a lot.

Seeing that everything was arranged and the three places had no worries, they prepared to lead the army from Chu to the north in three days.

This time, Wang abandoned only a small number of troops to garrison the three places, and the remaining 300,000 people fought against Wei Meng.

Wang Qizhi did not dare to take it lightly, according to the news from the spies, now Wei Meng has 200,000 troops, plus he is scheming, if he is not careful, he will fall for his tricks, and there is a risk of annihilation.

This Wei Meng likes to attack other people's grain and grass the most, if the grain and grass are burned, or the grain road is robbed, this 300,000 army will collapse at the touch of a button, and it must be taken seriously.

On the third day, Wang Qizhi sent 40,000 men to fortify the important passages at the border between southern Xinjiang and Jinzhou to defend against a sneak attack by Meng, and the rest of the troops all marched towards Chudi.

At the same time, after the black gold organization got the movement of Wang Qizhi's troops, he immediately reported it to Wei Meng, and when he learned about it, he was shocked in his heart, this kid acted so fast, it was only half a year, and he was ready to attack, could it be that he still had a backhand?

Wei Meng immediately summoned all the ministers to come to the meeting, and when everyone arrived, he told the matter.

When the ministers heard this, they were all very surprised, but Xu Yuanzhi was very calm, he stepped forward, bowed his hand to Wei Meng, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, all this is reasonable."

Wei Meng said: "Hurry up."

"Although the later the war starts, the more soldiers Wang Qizhi can recruit, but don't forget that we also have a steady stream of soldiers to replenish the army, the longer the time drags on, the stronger our strength will be, and the more difficult it is for Wang Qizhi's army to fall, so he is so scheming to attack."

Wei Meng nodded and said: "That's true, although our Wei territory is much smaller than Wang Qizhi's, but the population is not much less, if it drags on for a long time, the balance of forces will slowly balance, and it is really not certain who will win and who will lose at that time."

Then he let out a long sigh and said, "Although we claim to be an army of 200,000 to the outside world, in fact we are only 1670,000, and we are really not that kid's opponent."

Xu Yuanzhi looked at the map on Wei Meng's body, Wei Meng looked at the former's appearance, and said, "Yuanzhi, just come up, don't worry about etiquette."

Xu Yuan looked directly at the map, pointed to the two places above and said: "According to the route taken by Wang Qizhi's army, it should be to Chu, he must want to capture Henan and Xu, and then slowly advance north."

Wei Meng hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the strategy of the military advisor is?"

Seeing that Xu Yuanzhi asked everyone to come over, and slowly told his strategy, Wei Meng slapped the table and said, "Just follow Yuanzhi's plan, let's act quickly!"

Wang Qizhi led the army to the north by boat, and then continued to march on land, and Wei Meng was not idle, and kept sending small forces to harass the southern Xinjiang and Jinzhou borders, trying to break through the defense line set up by Wang Qizhi, but fortunately, the soldiers suffered few casualties and all of them were blocked.

This did not stop Wang Qi from advancing, and he believed that his brothers would definitely resist the enemy's attack.

Wang Qizhi divided the army into two parts, one led by Wu Anyi, numbering about 50,000 people, and stationed on the Chu border with the help of favorable terrain to prevent the enemy from sneaking around behind, and the rest attacked Yuzhou under the leadership of Wang Qizhi.

The reason why Wang Qizhi chose this place is that most of the places here are plains, and the rivers are scarce, which is convenient for large-scale marches.

Second, it borders Jin and Chu here, which is convenient for the transportation of grain, grass and soldiers, and if there is an emergency, they can quickly evacuate the two places.

The two armies met in Puyang County, Yuzhou, with Wei Meng's 200,000 troops to the north and Wang Qizhi's army to the south.

Wei Meng looked Wang Qizhi up and down, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I haven't seen it for a few years, and our Royal Highness the prince is so powerful, not only unifying the three places, but also fighting a decisive battle with me."
