The weather is clear, the wind is smooth, and autumn is full of mood everywhere.

In Lexian County, Liu Heima was very happy, looking at the silver ingots and copper coins stacked into a hill in front of him, his heart was as sweet as eating honey.

"Calculate it, calculate it, a total of 1.52 million taels of silver, 120,000 stone of grain."

A treasurer came to report with a smile on his face.

"Good!"

Liu Heima clapped his hands vigorously: "It's a loss that Yan Su went out of the city because of lack of food and fought to the death, otherwise with these 120,000 stone of grain, I'm afraid he can hold out for a few months."

These gentry are really treacherous!

Haha, in the end, it fell into our hands.

By the way, can those gentry families continue to squeeze oil and water? ”

"As long as the general hands over some of his subordinates, his subordinates promise to squeeze out all the oil and water in the bones of those gentry and wealthy families!"

The treasurer patted his chest and said loudly.

"Okay, you guy, you're a talent! What's your last name? ”

"The little one's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Benshan."

The treasurer seemed to be happy that the general knew his name, and nodded his head and said with a flattering smile on his face.

"Okay, Lu Benshan, I'll give you a position of a thousand households, as long as you pay you, then you will be Lu Qianhu from now on!"

"General Xie! Thank you, General, for your appreciation! The small, no, no, no, the humble will definitely serve the general. Doing this is a solid thing! ”

Lu Benshan knelt down and kowtowed excitedly and said.

"Hahahaha, okay, master, you can take Lu Qianhu down."

Liu Heima's gaze was still attracted by the pile of silver shining hills, and waved his hand, like a fly back.

Lu Benshan followed behind the master and went out of the county guard's mansion.

The moment he lowered his head, a hint of mockery appeared on his face.

"1,520,000 silver, 120,000 stone of grain. I see that this Liu Heima has tasted the sweetness, and nine times out of ten he will promote the idea of torturing the gentry and wealthy families to the whole county of Yuntai.

This clears the way for the Lord!

These silver grains will eventually go into the hands of the lord. You don't have to offend the world's corporal clans, you can get a clean land, and you don't have to bear infamy.

It can also be supported by the scholars, and those who read will also take the initiative to join the lord's regime. ”

Lu Benshan thought about these in his heart, and glanced back at the county guard mansion with a tall door wall: "Liu Heima, it's just a matter of driving the king."

From this point of view, I, a well-known official, really have to 'work hard' for Liu Heima, so that I can implement the whole county as soon as possible, not only to accumulate wealth for the lord, but also to reduce obstacles for the lord.

In the future, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and I will also be promoted by merit. ”

In the days that followed, the whole county was full of wailing.

In the past, the rich family is now a vegetarian.

The inspection guard has become a terrifying existence for the wealthy families in the city, and can cure children to cry at night.

Under the sweep of this team, there is a rich family in the city, and there is no immortal!

However, no one dared to resist.

Those who dared to resist, the whole family was sent down, and there was not even a single one to cry.

The prison was overcrowded, and all kinds of heinous punishments were inflicted on people one after another, and no one could withstand such torture.

Every day, the corpses pulled out of the prison by flatbed trucks have become an assembly line of work, and the scars on the corpses, the terrifying expressions on their faces, frighten the people in the city, and no one does not feel afraid.

And in the county guard's mansion, a steady stream of silver is pulled in one cart after another.

Liu Heima only felt that his heart was about to float!

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, why did he sacrifice his life to rebel? It's not for power and money!

Because of this ability to make money, Lu Benshan's status in his heart has skyrocketed. Soon, Liu Heima, who tasted the sweetness, gave Lu Benshan greater rights, and was entrusted by him to spread the torture grain to the entire Yuntai County!

And he, after having enough food and grass, finally began to reorganize the army and prepared to go south.

The main reason is that the weather is getting colder day by day, and if you don't send troops, it will be difficult to fight in winter.

In Qingshui County, Ren Pingsheng received the news that Liu Heima's entire army was going south for the first time.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the food was decreasing day by day, he was very anxious, if this battle dragged on for a long time, it was likely that he would be worried to death by food!

Now that the war is really going to be fought, he is relieved in his heart.

"My lord, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Liu Heima's forward battalion have been drawn and are coming towards us. At the speed of their march, it would take them about 4 days to reach the town of South Gate. ”

Bell came to report on the military situation.

The next day, the bell came again to report: "The 30,000 soldiers and horses of Liu Heima's forward battalion have arrived in Yinshan County, and they will arrive at Nanmen Town in about three days."

The main force of the army has been opened, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 cavalry, more than 20,000 veterans and more than 30,000 regular soldiers.

There are also tens of thousands of people. ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at the telegrams sent back one after another.

Most of the members of the Divine Arrow Division and the Night Owl Organization's action team have already been scattered. In addition, in Liu Heima's team, there are a large number of intelligence personnel sent by Qingshui County.

Every step of Liu Heima's army was summarized in detail and returned to Qingshui County.

All their actions, in the eyes of Qingshui County, are transparent.

"General!"

Deputy General Wu ran up to Liu Heima, and said with a solemn face: "After I started this morning, I had a faint feeling of being watched.

But I just followed this feeling and didn't get anything to gain, which is very strange. ”

"What does it feel like to be being watched? Could it be that Brother Wu is too sensitive? ”

Liu Heima frowned: "The forward battalion is repaired outside Yinshan County, and the spies we send out have to be thousands, this is still in our territory, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to watch our march." ”

Vice Admiral Wu shook his head, as a martial artist, he believed in his own feelings in the dark, and he could even trust this intuition in the moment of life and death.

He looked up at the sky, and in the empty sky, there were only white clouds, and occasionally birds streaked across the sky, leaving no traces.

"Could it be an Inhuman?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Otherwise, how can most of this sense of peeping come from the sky?

"Inhuman?"

Liu Heima's back on horseback straightened suddenly: "Go, call the little ears and big nose!" ”

"Yes!"

The guards around him took the order and left.

Soon after, a man with a small head and a short stature, as well as a man with a big nose, were brought over by the guards.

"Little Ear, listen carefully, is there an Inhuman presence in this sky?"

"Big Nose, go and smell it carefully, there's an enemy around here?"

Liu Heima waved his whip and pointed to the sky, as well as the mountains and forests on both sides.

When the two heard this, one put his hand on his ear, and the other ran to the side of the road and lay on the ground, with a pair of noses twitching on the ground.

After a while, Little Ear frowned, and said with some hesitation: "I heard a strange sound, not like a bird, not like the wind, and I didn't hear a sound from a person······"
