After three rounds of wine on this day, Gong Zhi said: "The land of Dengzhou is fertile and the people are rich, which is really not the same as our remote small counties. www.biquge.info Shen Tan also said: "Yes, Qiu County is good at political affairs and has won the hearts of the people, which is really a blessing for the people of Dengzhou." However, I have been waiting for Dengzhou for a few days, and I hope that the county will tell you the truth, if we want to establish a mercenary group in the same way, is it feasible? ”

Qiu Ming looked at him and said with a smile: "If Shen Yiju hadn't tried it once, he wouldn't have thought of coming to Dengzhou to ask me, right?" Shen Tan's face turned red, so he had to nod, and the expressions of the other people were unnatural.

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "Based on what Qiu Ming has seen, the upper and lower levels are located in remote areas and the roads are difficult to navigate, and I have not heard of any huge rich businessmen, even if there is something urgent, it is difficult for ordinary people to afford to hire mercenaries. Moreover, such a civilian armed force may not be recognized by the local government, and if it is regarded as a chaotic army, it will cause more trouble. ”

Jin Xuan sighed: "Qiu County Cheng is very worried, but the mediocre people in the world are the same as the branches, if everyone is generally poor, but it is okay, but Deng Zhou Yong has become so rich, the mediocre people in all directions are so red-eyed, and there are many people who bring their families to Dengzhou." Over time, although my township is ten rooms and nine empty, Dengzhou is overcrowded, you are afraid that it will not be easy to manage, right? ”

Qiu Ming said: "In fact, Dengzhou has been withered for many years, and it needs a large number of people to move in, but since a few people have made a special trip to explain this matter, I can't ignore your feelings." Do you think that's good? Since you can't set up a mercenary group in the local area, and the autumn market of Dengzhou is becoming more and more prosperous, and the existing mediocre mercenaries are becoming more and more in short supply, it is better for you to join forces and merge shares, invest manpower and troops to make Dengzhou's regiment bigger, and at the same time set up a branch in the upper and lower levels, and the tasks in the southwest will be completed by the branch in the future. Wouldn't it be good for the mediocre people in the world to advance and retreat together and achieve common prosperity? ”

Shen Tan's eyes flashed and said: "My mediocre tribe has a population of hundreds of thousands, and all the people are soldiers, can you really arrange so many tasks in a county of Dengzhou?" ”

Qiu Ming said with a smile: "This is naturally impossible, and as the county governor of Dengzhou, I must give priority to ensuring the interests of Deng Zhouyong." But I think that since the mediocrity of the world is in the same spirit, some things can naturally be discussed, and in any case, the life of the mediocre people will always be much better than before, right? Jin Xuan and Shen Tan glanced at each other, and they both nodded in agreement.

Qiu Ming was about to arrange for someone to go to Zhu Lianshan to invite Deng Zhouyong's village elders to discuss the matter together, Zhang Ning came over in a panic: "Oh no, Wei Yan was washing horses in the yard today, I don't know what I heard a few words, and suddenly rushed out with a short knife." I asked him what he was going to do, and he just said that he was going to kill someone, and he walked away. ”

Qiu Ming was taken aback, Wei Yan's goods were sometimes shrewd, sometimes they were reckless, and they dared to besiege Wancheng with only three hundred cavalry in the previous paragraph, but fortunately, Qin Jie knew that he was at a loss and didn't care about him, otherwise how could it be so easy to retreat? If you don't say a word today, you will run out and kill people, in case it is a trap set by Wen Ping, it will be bad.

Tyumen hurriedly ordered the men and horses, and chased them out with Dian Wei Bao. He carefully inquired about the soldiers guarding the city gate, and learned that Wei Yan was heading south, so he relaxed a little. Wancheng is in the northeast of Dengzhou, and it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with Wenpin.

Qiuming was about to chase after him, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city gate cave again, but it was Shen Tan, Jinxuan and others who caught up. Shen Tan said: "Recently, there is a lot of hospitality in the county, and there is no way to repay the fear, if there is an emergency in Dengzhou today, my brother will gallop forward from the county horse, and there will be no complaints." ”

Qiu Ming was anxious at this time, for fear that Wei Yan would fall into some trap, so he only nodded slightly and galloped south with them. After walking a short distance, I met a group of fleeing villagers, but it was said that Pengzhuang, Gaowa Town, had recently been robbed by a group of mediocre robbers from Shangyong. Fearing the same murder, several nearby villages and towns fled with their families and went to Dengzhou for help.

Qiu Ming's eyes turned red immediately, the Peng family who lived in Pengzhuang had already killed him, and now he was all from the Wei family who moved from the Wei family in Yiyang, including his own life-saving benefactors Wei Doudou and Wei Miaomiao. Qiuming has been saying since last year that he was going to Pengzhuang to visit Wei Laosan's family, but he was always busy with everything and couldn't make the trip, but he didn't expect to hear such news today, how could Qiuming not be sad and angry?

The eyes of the two Shen Tan and Shenyi brothers were also red, they came to Dengzhou this time, and many people in the clan in the same township knew about it, and now there are people who come to Dengzhou to kill people and set fires, could it be that they want to borrow a knife to kill people and let Qiuming get rid of them?

Shen Tan looked left and right, and found that not only Dian Wei Baochu glared at them angrily, but also Jin Xuan Gongzhi, who came over, also showed a suspicious look, and hid to the side without a trace. He shouted: "There is a lot of mystery in this matter, in order to prove his innocence, my brother should follow the county to fight against the thief, and he will never dare to leave the left and right." ”

Qiu Ming shook his head and said: "It should have nothing to do with your two brothers, if you had known about this, you would never have dared to get drunk in Dengzhou City these days." Shen Tan was overjoyed in his heart and was about to thank him, but Qiu Ming said in a cold voice: "But those mediocre robbers came to my Dengzhou to do evil, but I can't spare them, and your brothers can't stop me at that time." Shen Tan heard the chill in Qiu Ming's words, and his heart sank, so he had to make a sound.

The fast horse galloped, and arrived at Pengzhuang in less than an hour, only to see that the village gate was falling, and the ruins and broken walls were everywhere, and the scorched wood and tiles were broken. Seeing the arrival of the Tyumen horse, several old men staggered out of the village and bowed to the horse, crying and begging Tyumen to make their decisions.

Peng Zhuang originally had a high wall, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was also built like an iron bucket by Peng Taigong back then, so Qiu Ming arranged Wei Jiachong's people here to feel at ease. Unexpectedly, the Wei family was just a group of kind-hearted farmers, and they didn't know how to prevent others from protecting themselves.

The night before, some women from other towns went to the village to cry, saying that they had fled so far and only wanted to spend the night. The Wei family saw that they seemed to be very pitiful with their children and daughters, so they opened the door of the village and let them in. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, these women and children took out their weapons and seized the gate of the village, and the robbers outside the village swarmed in, and they took the plunder and tossed in the village for a whole day, and gradually withdrew from the village early this morning. Poor Wei family rushed to Pengzhuang for the hundreds of people, except for the few surviving old people in front of them, the others were either killed, or they were coerced by these mediocre robbers to go southwest.
