Volume 10 Wind and Rain Mandala Chapter 713 The mountains and rivers are broken
The people besieging the city fought on their own, I'm afraid that in the history of the Tianfeng Continent, there has never been such a thing. The soldiers guarding the city were stunned and nervous for a long time, but there was nothing wrong with them.
Hu Wei stood on the city and quietly watched the situation below, and shook his head at Nian Qibai's opportunity to send troops. This was just a small-scale mess, and it was not enough to shake Jiang Dayong's troops. Now, if they send troops, they will be wrong.
The psychology of human nature is like this. Hu Wei remembered that there was a story about Taishi Kilometer, saying that it was this kind of thing. There were two brothers who fought, and the fight was turned upside down, and they couldn't be persuaded anyway. Later, a few people suddenly came to his house to seek revenge, and they immediately reconciled, and they lived and died together.
What we have to do now is not to beat them, but to let their knot slowly enlarge. Once they get to the point where they can't be reconciled, then they will collapse on their own.
A day passed like this, Jiang Dayong did not attack the city today, and the city seemed very calm. Hu Wei went down to the city, changed his clothes, and planned to walk the streets to listen to the people's opinions.
Most people don't care much about public opinion, but inadvertently, it can change a lot of things. Don't think that you are great with a few soldiers in your hands, and that there will always be more people than soldiers.
There is a battle outside the city, and the city has naturally entered a depression. There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and they pass by occasionally, and they are also in a hurry. Most of the shops have already closed, and the few that have opened have no customers, and the guys are all drooping and listless.
The best place to listen to the news is the Tavern Tea House. Hu Wei walked all the way, and accidentally saw that the business of a tavern was okay, so he walked in.
Xiao Er was very enthusiastic and hurriedly greeted him, Hu Wei asked for a few ordinary dishes, a pot of wine, and drank it by himself. A person's dinner was a little deserted, and Hu Wei couldn't help but think of Yaya, if there was this good daughter, there must be a lot of strange problems.
Smiling, Hu Wei turned his attention to the guests in the tavern. As Hu Wei expected, most of the people in the tavern were talking about the current situation. It seems that they are afraid of trouble, their voices are not loud, if it weren't for Hu Wei's good ears, I really couldn't hear what they were saying.
The news is mostly negative, and there are not many people who are optimistic about this immortal bird coalition army. After all, Qian Jinchang has been operating here for 20 years and has a certain influence here.
There are only a few people who support the Immortal Bird Alliance, and most of them feel that the Immortal Bird Alliance has something to do with the Immortal Bird Legion.
When it came to the Immortal Bird Legion, many ordinary people shook their heads, and their voices gradually became louder. It can be seen that their feelings for the Legion of the Immortal Birds are very complicated, and it can be said that they are entangled in love, but there is one thing, their key points are surprisingly consistent. They all thought that the sudden news of the Immortal Bird Legion at this time was irresponsible to the Mandala Empire.
There was a drunkard who drank too much, and he scolded and scolded himself but cried. The current situation in the Mandala Empire really made him very sad.
The crying was contagious to the other guests, and most of them lost their smiles on their faces. As the former No. 1 military power, who can be happy that it is now being ravaged by five or six countries.
Walking out of the tavern, Hu Wei's mood also became a little heavy. Now that I think about it, his previous strategy really hurt the hearts of the people.
"Ahh
Suddenly, an exclamation came into Hu Wei's ears. Hu Wei listened to the sound and identified the location, followed the sound and looked down, and soon found the source of the cry.
It's a man and a woman who are entangled, the man wants to run, the woman says nothing and won't let the man go, and the two seem to be fighting for something. ...,
"Stop. Hu Wei shouted. He had already seen that the thing belonged to the woman, and the man wanted to grab it.
Hu Wei had a thick murderous voice, which made the two people who were competing for a moment stunned, and unconsciously stopped and looked at Hu Wei.
"Give it back to this eldest sister, and I'll let you go. Hu Wei looked at the man and said. If you change someone, he might just cut it directly, how can it be so cheap. However, this man has been fighting with women for so long, and he has never used force, which makes Hu Wei more or less favorable.
The man looked at the things in his hand, and then at Hu Wei, as if he was struggling. After about two or three minutes, he returned the thing to the woman. The woman was gone, thankfully.
It wasn't until after the woman had left that Hu Wei turned his head to look at the man. The man is about 30 years old, and he may have used his brain too much and lost some of his hair.
"Stealing things in wartime, no matter which side of the force, will sentence you to death, you know?". Hu Wei asked.
Hu Wei didn't scare him, if Hu Wei hadn't come over and changed to a general with a bad temper, he would have ordered it to be cut directly, and he didn't even have to be tried. In wartime, human life is the least valuable, and in order to control the stability of the area, killing a few people is not a matter of fact.
The man glanced at Hu Wei and lowered his head. It was the first time he had done such a thing, and he had hesitated for a long time before deciding to do it. Who knows that before he succeeds, he will be bumped into.
"Tell me, why are you robbing things?" asked Hu Wei. He had already seen that this was a living person, and if it weren't for the special circumstances, he wouldn't have done it.
"Did it work to tell you?". There was a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. Hu Wei doesn't feel like an ordinary person to him, if Hu Wei can help him, he will pass this level.
"Let's hear it first. Hu Wei did not give a positive answer. But Hu Wei is willing to listen, which means that he may help him.
"The ones I robbed were not money, they were medicine. My wife is sick and needs medicine urgently. I have money, but I can't buy medicine with Ben. The man replied.
During the war, all the rice, food, and medicines were controlled by the military, and no matter how much money there was, it was impossible to buy medicine.
As soon as Hu Wei heard the man's words, he basically guessed the general situation. It seems that there is really something about him here. After asking a few more words about his ** condition, Hu Wei nodded and said, "Come with me." ”
On the way back, he happened to meet the big tiger, and Hu Wei told the big tiger to help the man dispense medicine, and then returned to his temporary residence.
"Nian Qibai, you came just in time, I have something to tell you, come, let's go to the house and talk. ”
Nian Qibai looked for Hu Wei to discuss and fight back, and seeing that Hu Wei had something to say, he naturally listened to Hu Wei's affairs first. told Nian Qibai about the situation on the street, and then said: "Medicine is related to the safety of the people's lives, and we must pay attention to this aspect." In the army, wound medicine is mostly used, and other varieties will be lifted. ”
Nian Qibai didn't expect that when the war situation was so tense, Hu Wei was still thinking about the problems of the common people, and nodded admiringly: "What the young marshal said is that after I go back, I will immediately send someone to do this, that, in terms of food, do you want to lift part of the ban too?"
Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "We just sealed the military rations, and there should still be a certain amount of surplus grain on the market, but the price is afraid that the people can't afford it." In this way, you send someone to stabilize the price of grain, whoever dares to pay the price indiscriminately, the first warning, if you commit another offense, you will arrest me, and the grain army will be used as military rations. ”
"Yes. "It's the first time that Nian Qibai has managed such a big city in his hands, and he has no experience, so he naturally listens to all of them.
Then the two talked about the military again, Jiang Dayong's internal strife outside the city had been temporarily extinguished, and the water in the moat continued to decrease, and Nian Qibai had no bottom in his heart. ...,
Hu Wei listened to Nian Qibai's chatter, and only occasionally answered a sentence or two, and in about half an hour, he sent Nian Qibai away. For unprofessional people, many military things, Hu Wei didn't have so much heart to explain to him.
In fact, Nian Qibai is completely a lot of books, and I am also worried about that. Hu Wei had already made arrangements for this, so why did he need to bother more.
However, Hu Wei did not discourage Nian Qibai's enthusiasm, although Nian Qibai is a person who knows little about military affairs, and many things are only knowledge in books, but Hu Wei has cooperated with him so far, and it is still quite pleasant. It is precisely because he cares about everything that he can really mention from time to time that he has not noticed some things that Hu Wei has not noticed.
Xingma City is calm for the time being, but the mountains through the city are not calm. Jiang Dayong blocked the river downstream, and the days of the mountains passing through the city were not easy.
Due to the special low terrain, the mountain through the city is a city that is very afraid of water, and the river is blocked, and the mountain through the city is very hurt, and it is simply unaffordable
At this time, the city lord who passed through the city was really restless, and the city had begun to enter the water, and the common people were all trying to avoid the water. Most of the local troops who passed through the city were from the local area. When the people are in chaos, so is the army. And if the army is in chaos, then the next days will not be easy.
"Yueyue, your method is really wonderful" Hou San was happy to jump up and down. Having a capable wife is happier than if he came up with a way to do it himself.
"It's almost time. Ou Yueyue was not as excited as Hou San, this was the result of her calculations, if things didn't develop like this, she should be bitter now.
"I know, I'll go and tell them to get ready right away. Hou San shouted.
Ou Yueyue corrected: "It's not an order, it's a discussion"
The current rebel army does not nominally belong to the Immortal Bird Legion, and it is even different from the special regiment of Hou San. Ou Yueyue wanted to better understand Hu Wei's military intentions in this regard, so when Hou San said something wrong, she immediately asked him to change it.
"Yes, yes, discuss, it's not the same. Hou San muttered and hurriedly let go of his business.
The layout is thorough, and it is all premeditated. The rebel army where Hou San was located chose the most chaotic time for the mountain to pass through the city, launched a sudden attack, and almost without much effort, defeated the mountain through the city army that had no intention of fighting, and another town fell into Hu Wei's plan.
As soon as the news of the defeat of the army reached Jiang Dayong's camp, it immediately caused an uproar*. The already irreconcilable contradiction broke out again.
This time, Hu Wei was not polite to them, saw the opportunity, and launched a counterattack with all his might. Jiang Dayong saw that the general trend had turned, and only made a general resistance, so the whole army retreated.
"Want to run?" a smile appeared at the corner of Hu Wei's mouth. Liwei naturally needs the blood of the enemy, and Hu Wei has no intention of letting Jiang Dayong run and jump like this.
Since Jiang Dayong left the city, he has not encountered any ambushes. This time he knew what an ambush was, and Hu Wei was almost separated by a hill and a road junction. Those people didn't have to do anything else, just wait for Jiang Dayong's troops to arrive, and they could send arrows.
Jiang Dayong's hatred, when he made so many arrangements before, he didn't encounter any ambushes, so there would be no time to do this, and all the ambushes along the way came out again.
But what's the use of being angry, the enemy behind is biting his ass, so run quickly.
The more he ran, the fewer people came, and Jiang Dayong ran to the back only to find that there were less than 100 soldiers following him. This is an inevitable result, and the other soldiers are not stupid, they have already seen that with such a product, not only will they not have a future, but they will also lose their lives. There will be a chance, who doesn't want to find a way to slip away. Only those more than 100 brains who have entered the water will always follow Jiang Dayong, and finally become Hu Wei's dish. ...,
Qin Ming sat on the windowsill and frowned deeply. In the past few months, the southern region has been quite unstable, and five or six forces have suddenly emerged, attacking not only the same rebel troops, but also the towns.
So far, three cities have fallen into the hands of that man. There are no big cities in the south, just three small cities, Qin Ming doesn't usually pay much attention to them, but now at this extraordinary time, let alone three cities, even if it is an inch of land, he has to pay more attention.
"Hu You, could you have made these things?" Qin Ming asked with some uncertainty after drinking a few miles of wine.
The air was quiet, and naturally no one could give Qin Ming such an answer.
Conrad hurried over, his face quite unsightly. But anything with such an expression, no matter who it is, must not be a good thing.
"What's wrong" Qin Ming didn't wait for Conrad to speak, so he asked first. He really didn't want to hear the opening sentence of 'big things are not good' right now.
"General Qin Ming, I just received news that the troops of the Lin Yu Empire have turned their heads and are driving towards us. Conrad said in a deep voice.
Qin Ming's heart sank, the Lin Yu Empire had been fighting with the Ningnan people some time ago, how could he turn around and attack the imperial capital?
However, this thought also flashed in a flash, the current Mandala Empire is a multinational force coexisting, hit you today, hit me tomorrow, whoever fights is normal. In particular, the two battle circles centered on the imperial capital and the two transgressive cities of Langtian will not be in the middle of the battle one day.
"Is the news accurate?" Qin Ming asked in a deep voice.
"It's already true, Lin Yu's vanguard will arrive in about two days. ”
"Good time, I'm waiting for someone to cut it. Pass on my order, the whole army is ready for combat at the first level"
Langtian City, the former camp of the Immortal Bird Legion, has now fallen into Avril's hands. Due to Hu Wei's initiative to withdraw, Avril was almost a waste of Langtian City. But since the first day she got Langtian City, Avril's life has not been easy.
When Avril first came to Langtian City as a queen, she was supported by the people. But she openly announced that Hu Wei colluded with foreigners and was punished for treason, what can the people of Langtian do?
Hu Wei has ruled Langtian City for ten years, and the common people of Langtian have not received the benefits of the Immortal Bird Legion. Even the thugs on the street didn't dare to say that Hu Wei was bad, and those hawkers, where in the world could they be allowed to put their stalls in front of the city lord's mansion. But Hu Wei let them be like this, not only that, but also took more care of them.
The common people are very simple, and their thoughts will never be like those nobles, turning their bowels all day long. The common people only know who is good to them, and they will keep it in their hearts, and when they need it, they can even defend what they think is good with their own lives. When the young marshal was attacked, the street vendors who protected the marshal's mansion with a flat stretcher bench were the best identification.
said that Hu Wei colluded with foreigners, and the common people of Langtian did not believe it. The Legion of the Undead Birds is right under their noses, and what they do, the common people have eyes to see. In order to resist the invasion of aliens, how big the losses of the Immortal Bird Legion were, and how many good men died on the battlefield. Can their hearts not count?
Langtian is Hu Wei's own place, as soon as Avril came up, he beat Hu Wei into treason, and the people of Langtian were resistant to Avril from the heart, plus Renata's Wild Wolf Legion and the original pure army army, there were not too many talents to manage people's livelihood. Langtian is watching the chaos go by day by day, first the economy, and then the people's livelihood.
What's more, Hu Wei is exempt from taxes for Langtian, and the Immortal Bird Legion also collects taxes, but the taxes are all given by the merchants.
For example, stamp duty, which is also known as a fair tax by the common people. The buyers and sellers of both sides, after reaching an agreement and paying a certain amount of money, can take their contract to the place designated by the subordinates of the Immortal Bird Legion to print a seal. With this chapter, then their transaction will be recognized and protected by the Legion of the Undead Birds.
Unless both parties agree to terminate the contract, the other party can sue the undead legion against the party who broke the contract, and once it is clear that something is wrong, the undead legion will use the military to enforce the contract.
There were once people who didn't believe in the execution ability of the Immortal Bird Legion, thinking that they were from Ningnan and didn't need to be controlled by the waves. This kid didn't inquire about what the relationship between Hu Wei and Ning Nan was. An announcement from the Immortal Bird Legion was issued, and even if the kid ran to Ningnan, he also let Ningnan arrest him and execute the contract.
If you pay some money in this way, you can have a guaranteed tax, and who wouldn't want to pay it. And Avril and Renata's forces, where they can do this, plus their military spending is not enough, as soon as they come up, they will reformulate a new tax policy, how can the merchants be comfortable.
The common people are uncomfortable, the hawkers are uncomfortable, the big merchants are not comfortable, and the people in the whole Langtian are uncomfortable, so who else can be comfortable. Avril Lavigne, the queen, where can she be an exception...... ,
