Back Off, Let Me Come

Gu Chi silently used the backdrop to eat.

Sometimes he would give Qin Li a little bit of his peripheral vision.

He murmured in his heart: [If the voice of the heart could kill people... my lord would probably be dead by now. 】

In terms of shamelessness, my lord is really shameless.

But the three people present couldn't say anything.

Because Shen Tang's poverty is well known.

Exposing someone to their face will actually damage the "friendship".

What surprised Qin Li and others was that Shen Tang had been drinking for three rounds - they were drinking, and Shen Jun used tea instead of wine. He said that he was not a good drinker and was worried that drinking too much would offend everyone. This reason was rejected by both Shangnan and Tianhai. Accept it, and Yiru messenger has no objection - while the atmosphere is still good, Shen Tang takes the initiative to propose the supply of food and grass.

As the person being helped, there are still some etiquette. However, Shen Tang also tactfully hinted at He Yin's predicament and that the supply of military supplies to them might not be sufficient.

I will personally write to Wu Xian and others to explain in the future.

What he said was frank and sincere.

Qin Li smiled calmly on his face, saying that given the relationship between the two families, the amount of food and grass was not important, but he was wondering in his heart: "What kind of medicine is this Mr. Shen selling in the gourd?" Could it be that there was no intention of wasting food and grass in the first place? 】

He preconceived that this was a well-designed conspiracy, and since he stepped into Heyin's territory, he tensed up his nerves and pondered the calculation behind Shen Tang's words and deeds. Unexpectedly, Shen Tang hit an extremely straight ball, which made him confused.

This is different from what he thought.

Not only Qin Li was shocked, but Gu Chi was also stunned.

He didn't expect that his own master, who had nothing to lose, would be so generous. With Shaochong's divine assist, the three families had already prepared to lose money, and they didn't expect He Yin to provide food and grass.

Once she opens her mouth, this expense will no longer be saved.

As everyone knows, Shen Tang also has his own plans.

She just smiled without explaining.

Wink at him secretly.

The mountain man has a clever plan!

Gu Chi: "..."

A chill ran from his tailbone to his brain, making him shiver all over, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.

He rubbed his arms and looked away.

Shen Tang: "..."

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Gan, what's Gu Wangchao's reaction?

Although the night passed peacefully, it was still water flowing deep and undercurrents surging. The troops of the three families were marching all the way, and arrangements had been made on the road. Shen Tang had many things to do, so he had to hold a meeting overnight to arrange the defense and rescue forces.

Thanks to the strong martial ethics of the three families, Ha Yin can sit back and relax. Shen Tang prepared to let Gong Shuwu, Lu Jue (Li Li), Bai Su, Xian Yujian and Zhao Feng all go into battle. The number of troops was not two thousand and five as everyone thought, but three thousand and five.

Shen Tang personally led the troops.

One thousand of them are Zhao Feng's private tribe.

Bai Su and Lu Jue were just brought out to gain knowledge.

As a newcomer, Xian Yujian couldn't let others come over and just build houses, farm, and build roads all day long. War still had to be fought. The battlefield was always the stage where the strength of brave warriors improved the fastest. Chu Yao and Kang Shi served as military advisors.

Qishan and Gu Chi stayed behind in Heyin.

The former is familiar with Qin's rituals and the defense of the city.

The latter is proficient in mind reading, just in case.

Although the three families are here to help defend the city, Shen Tang is certain that the three families will check and balance each other and cannot backhand Shen Tang and steal He Yin at the same time. However, nothing is impossible in this world. It is very difficult to have a backup plan. important.

Under the dim candlelight, Lin Feng stopped talking.

"Lord..."

"Plea for mercy for that boy Tu Rong?"

Shen Tang knew what she wanted to say without having to guess.

"Senior brother is looking forward to serving the lord, and there is only one chance to gather the courage. Senior brother feels that if he can go to the battlefield as an ordinary soldier, maybe..." Tu Rong has not yet gathered the courage. Even if he does, he is still a newbie, and he has no courage. Eligibility to attend the meeting.

He had no choice but to ask the teacher to tell his junior sister.

Chu Yao would naturally not agree.

But Lin Feng couldn't stand Tu Rong's talk.

Shen Tang said: "No!"

Even if she is willing, Wuhui will firmly object.

It will be sooner or later to go to war, but not now.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Wei."

She also disapproves of her senior brother's taking risks.

When she brought the words, Tu Rong had nothing to say now.

Since Shen Tang established a foothold in Heyin, he has been recruiting troops one after another, training troops while recruiting troops. Together with the fierce bandits he recruited before, the number of troops is 5,000. Two thousand and five thousand go with her to fight, and what should I do with the remaining two thousand and five hundred.

It can be said that this time to aid Luxia County, Shen Tang spent 60 to 70% of his family wealth, which was enough to silence the outside world.

In exchange for 7,500 foreign aid to defend the city, he also gained fame.

It seems that the advantage is small...

However, when Gu Chi heard that Shen Tang asked him and Qishan to stay, he knew that things were not that simple. He also saw on Shen Tang's desk the blueprints for digging rivers, building reservoirs, and constructing water conservancy projects that had been finalized a while ago.

Gu Chi: "..."

Qishan: "..."

The two looked at each other in understanding.

See the surprise flash in each other's eyes.

Lord, what do you want to do?

Are you still thinking about these projects that benefit the people when there is a war outside?

Qishan was confused: "Lord, this matter can be postponed."

Shen Tang raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.

He smiled and said: "What is the pause for?"

Qi Shan: "Our army rushes to assist Luxia County. Captain Gongshu, General Zhao and Captain Xianyu all go out. Most of the troops left behind in Heyin are ordinary troops. If ordinary labor is used to dig, the effect will be little. It is better to postpone it for a while. After a while, spring begins..."

As he spoke, Qi Shan seemed to have thought of something.

Gu Chi copied the answer one step ahead of him.

Shen Tang smiled and said: "Who said that He Yin only has ordinary troops left? Don't he still have 7,500 elites? For example, on Tianhai's side, the one left behind is one of the six generals under Wu Zhaode. He has the same reputation as his righteousness, but his strength is also very different. not bad……"

Gu Chi: "...???"

Qishan: "...???"

This, this is not good, is it? ? ?

He didn't say it, but his expression meant it.

Shen Tang said: "Your moral bottom line is still too high. As long as you are willing to be shameless and cry to them, talk about the current difficulties. The war has delayed the construction of river water conservancy and affected the people's harvest in the coming year...these three families are determined to save face." Their teeth will be knocked out and they will be swallowed with blood. We don’t use their labor in vain, we pay them.”

Shen Tang has no morals, so morality cannot kidnap her.

But the other three companies have them, so what’s the point of tying them up?

"remuneration?"

"Spiritual wine."

Two people: "..."

Qishan frowned: "I'm afraid Qin Gongsu won't agree."

Shen Tang smiled: "It depends on you Yuanliang."

She is responsible for coming up with bad ideas, and the people below are responsible for executing them.

Gu Chi: "..."

Qishan: "..."

Hahaha, housekeeping is indeed not an easy job.

There were still three hours before dawn. Shen Tang slept lightly for a while, got up on time to wash up, put on clean clothes, summoned his motorcycle, and hung the Mother Sword on his waist.

There was silence at the door of the government office.

The only thing left is the powerful galloping pace of the motorcycle.

Because this time we are just rushing for reinforcements, we only need to repel the refugees and grass bandits besieging Luxia County, and it is enough to bring food and grass for half a month.

The three families have been waiting outside the city for a long time.

When Qin Li saw the lineup under Shen Tang's tent, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the heads of the other two families had the same reaction.

Zhao Feng was from the Tianhai camp, but Gong Shuwu, the 10th-class left concubine commander, and Xian Yujian, the 8th-class public transport officer, were always in demand. They sent two at once, and Shen Tang even led the team himself. Think about the scene where Shen Tang and Gong Xi Qiu fight in front of the formation...

Everyone knew that He Yin had spent a lot of money this time.

It was completely different from the free prostitution I thought it was last night.

For a time, Shen Tang's reputation for being selfless and benevolent and righteous was greatly improved, which provided great convenience for Gu Chi and Gu Chi to cut leeks. Shaochong from the Shangnan camp didn't understand these twists and turns, so he just asked: "Shen Jun is going too?"

Shen Tang said: "Go naturally."

Shaochong smiled and said, "That's great."

Gu Ren and his sixth brother secretly twitched the corner of his mouth.

He originally planned to let his thirteenth brother stay behind with him while his twelfth brother Chao Lian went out into the battle. But now he saw that Shen Tang was also going. After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind temporarily. The twelfth brother acted more steadily and defended the city, but his performance on the battlefield was not as fierce as the thirteenth brother.

This battle is also meant to make Shannan famous and intimidate several neighbors, making it more suitable for Shisan to pass.

As for worries?

There is no need to worry if Shen Tang is present. If it weren't for Mr. Shen, the thirteenth brother's life or death would be questionable right now.

All 11,150 soldiers and horses were ordered.

Shen Tang is temporarily the commander-in-chief - who makes Shen Tang's "seniority" too high? The other three families are dissatisfied with each other, but they cannot fight independently. It will be miserable if the enemy cuts them up and makes dumplings and cannibalizes them. In the end, they all point to Shen Tang - get ready , heading towards Luxia County.

The roads in Heyin were carefully built and smooth along the way. Coupled with the large army rushing to follow the army and the rapid pace of Yanling, it only took half a day to get out of Heyin's territory. The messenger from Luxia County saw all this in his eyes and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Not to mention that the four families live in harmony, even one family has its rivals, such as Luxia County. The governor of Luxia County relied on a few brothers to rise to power. Zheng Qiao was in chaos and had no energy to take care of these places. The governor felt like a local emperor.

He pays great attention to superiority and inferiority.

But those brothers didn't think so.

When we were not yet prosperous, we were all good brothers who even wore trousers. But once we became prosperous, we talked about superiority and inferiority with them? They are still carefree and shouting around. They are still the same as before, and the contradictions are increasing day by day.

There were also a few people who were dissatisfied with their treatment when being besieged by the homeless bandits this time. The results were deliberately messed up in the early stage. They wanted to use this siege to put some pressure on the governor of Luxia County and let him know who he relied on to climb so high. of.

Stop drifting!

Who would have thought that more and more refugees and bandits would gather around him, and he would be taught positive lessons on how to behave when he went out into battle.

As a last resort, we can only send people everywhere to ask for help.

The messenger estimated that except for Shen Jun's response, the possibility of other companies... coming to help was extremely low.

The army traveled day and night.

Less than half a day's journey from Luxia County, Shen Tang decisively ordered the troops to repair on the spot, recharge their batteries, and at the same time be on guard against possible sneak attacks. The refugees and bandits were ordinary people before they rebelled. As long as they restrained their fierce looks and put down their hoes and poles, they could disguise themselves as ordinary people. Shen Tang believed that the bandit leader had received news of reinforcements and would launch a surprise attack at any time.

Her guess was correct.

But—

"Reinforcements coming to help Lu Xia?"

In the simple camp, precious objects are placed everywhere, showing the temperament of a nouveau riche - these are all looted along the way, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a big fat sheep, you can gain endless rewards.

Above, sitting a middle-aged man with a scarred face.

At first glance, he looks like a tough gangster who is not easy to mess with.

He asked again: "How many people?"

The soldier reported: "More than ten thousand."

"More than 10,000 yuan? How dare you come here if you have more than 10,000 yuan?"

After saying that, everyone in the camp laughed.

If Shen Tang could keep up with the information, he would know that there are as many as 70,000 refugees and bandits in Luxia County, and this number is still growing every day. Except for the government office that has not yet been captured, all other counties and towns have fallen, and the land has been thinned.

Ten thousand versus seventy thousand?

What to fight with?

Scarface asked again: "Who is their commander?"

The soldier's expression was forbearing, and he almost laughed out loud, and said tangledly: "It's a young man riding a snow-white mule..."

For a moment, everyone laughed again.

Even Scarface was amused at this moment.

He doesn't smile often. When he smiles, his facial muscles are stiff. The corners of his mouth are raised to stop a child from crying at night: "Riding... a mule? Hahaha, are these people so poor that they can't even afford a horse?"

Although the brave warriors can ride anything when they go to war, that is when they are on the battlefield. The mounts formed by the martial spirit are connected with the brave warriors, and they cooperate more tacitly. However, they cannot ride when they are usually marching, so they still use war horses as their weapons. host.

The person coming here is actually riding a mule?

Or a snow-white mule?

Scarface looked less and less at Shen Tang.

"What's the origin?"

The soldiers were obviously well prepared: "The leader is carrying the banner of Heyin, followed by Tianhai, Shangnan, Yiru..."

"Four places? It turns out that it's just a bunch of people who were cobbled together... They're here to die!" There was a flash of killing intent in Scarface's eyes. He raised his hand and said with murderous intent, "You guys, are you willing to go out into battle? Kill the intruders?"

Judging from the intelligence given by the soldiers, the 10,000 troops who came to the rescue were all weak persimmons. They were pieced together. Isn't it just a wasted military merit?

Everyone signed up enthusiastically.

They all boasted that they wanted to steal Shen Tang's head and use it as a quarry for their commander-in-chief, and some ruthless men issued military orders.

Scarface: "Okay, you can order 30,000 troops."

The ruthless man was ecstatic.

The others curled their lips.

The so-called 30,000 horses are actually people, and there are only more than 3,000 war horses. These are the trophies of previous robberies.

The ruthless man is full of energy and high spirits. Scarface ordered his troops and horses to prepare for a general attack on the Luxia County Office tomorrow.

"Ah owe-"

Shen Tang rubbed his itchy nose.

He sneezed three times in a row before he stopped.

"Who's talking about me again?"

The army entered Luxia County, and the devastation and burned waste made Shen Tang's heart sink slightly. The hand holding the reins clenched tightly, and his nails felt like they were embedded in his flesh.

Hurry and hurry, it's still too late.

The messenger got a lot of news from the people who had not yet had time to escape. Unfortunately, this place was burned down two days ago. Fortunately, the prison is still there, but it is also in danger.

The administrative office gathered 50% of the population of Luxia County.

His relatives were there too.

Once the city is breached, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.

Alas, where is the monthly ticket?
