Langqi had already explained clearly before doing things, the previous general had already had his head cut off, and if people couldn't recruit him, he must also cut off the heads of the hundred households under his command before he was cut off his head. [No pop-ups. 】

So the order was conveyed one by one, in short, in one sentence, if it can't be done, Lao Tzu must have cut off your head before he was cut off.

These people had to take out a part of the land they had grabbed to collect soldiers who could fight, and this time the effect was obviously much better than the last time, and Langqi finally discovered the secret and took out half of the land to collect soldiers.

He knows a truth very well, only if he stays in this position safely, the land and houses that have been robbed can be regarded as his family, otherwise sooner or later he will have to let others snatch them, rather than let others snatch them away, it is better to take out some to do things, the head of the previous deputy Qianhu is still hanging at the gate of the camp, and now is definitely not the time to be greedy for money.

In order to prevent the number of people from being insufficient, he deliberately found 600 people, so that even if 100 people could not pass the test, they would not be beheaded.

Cheng Xiaolian also smiled when he heard the news, people always become smarter when their lives are threatened.

The tests were basically passed, Cheng Xiaolian also got the soldiers, and those soldiers got the land, killing two birds with one stone.

So the army began to march towards Mubang City, and Mubang City may not be so easy to fight, compared to these soldiers who eat food, the relationship between those guards of Mubang City and Mubang City can be said to be both glory and loss. If Mubang City is lost, they will lose their jobs.

So after getting the news, these people began to be closely armed, and the main force of this campaign is those recruits, recruits who have not seen blood cannot go to the battlefield, they will sooner or later face the elite of the royal capital, in this case, it is better to train with the private soldiers of those big families first.

When they arrived at Mubang City, they had not yet attacked the city, and the messenger inside came to the front to ask for Cheng Xiaolian.

"General, several masters in our city have discussed, if the general can give up attacking Mubang City, we are willing to send three hundred quintals of grain and grass and three thousand taels of silver."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Go back and tell you those masters, there are too few things, I don't want to be very tempted, let them think about it again, if it is still this amount next time, then we will start attacking the city." ”

After the messenger left, Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, are we really not attacking the city?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I can't fight, there are smart people here, willing to buy their lives with silver, if we continue to fight, we will have to exchange our lives for lives, and we will have to suffer a big loss at that time." ”

"But if we don't take down Mubang City, our rear may be unstable."

"That's why I asked them to re-report the number, if they are willing to be slaughtered by us, it proves that they have no other thoughts, they just want to save their lives, if they are not willing to be slaughtered by us, then it proves that they have other thoughts, even if they are desperate, we have to ensure the peace of the rear."

That night, the messenger returned, with a man by his side, and walked into the battle, and that man knelt on the ground: "Xiaomin Wu Qi to meet the general." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?" ”

"The villain is the patriarch of a family in the city."

"What are you going to do?"

"We were afraid that the things given would not meet the needs of the general, and the general would be killed, so we chose me to represent their meaning, as long as the general does not attack Mubang City, we are willing to take out silver and grain and grass, but we do not grow silver in these family fields, and we suffered a bandit disaster a few days ago, so I hope the general can understand our difficulties."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "There is no problem, then you give a sincere price for me to think about it first." ”

Wu Qi secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect that this general was not very old, but he had a lot of eyes, if he gave too much, he would naturally be unwilling, if he gave less, this general took this opportunity to make trouble, but he was afraid that he would have to slaughter a knife.

Thinking of this, he tensed his mind and said tentatively: "Five hundred quintals of grain, two or five thousand taels of silver." ”

Cheng Xiaolian's face was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor smiling, he just looked at him quietly and said nothing.

Seeing Wu Qi's heart, he was sweating, and finally he couldn't help it: "Seven hundred quintals of grain and grass, two or seven thousand taels of silver, this is already our limit, and we can't take out more." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Deal." ”

In fact, he and Yang Youcai had already been happy in their hearts, when those bandits broke through Mubang City, no one expected that these families would secretly accumulate so many things, silver and that thing is easy to hide, but grain and grass are difficult to hide, seven hundred quintals is definitely not a small amount.

Wu Qi swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "In order to reassure the people in the city, we hope that the general can make a poisonous oath in front of the two armies in front of the city before taking things, it's not that we can't trust the general, but we are mainly worried that the general's subordinates will secretly attack the city and ruin the general's reputation." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "It's embarrassing for you to come up with this kind of rhetoric, I can promise you this condition, but I can't miss what I want, if the grain and grass are shoddy, and get some inedible food to fool us, don't blame me for not giving you face." ”

Wu Qi nodded again and again: "It must be certain, what we promised will be done,"

After he left, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "We may not be able to grab these things after defeating Mubang City, but now we can be regarded as getting it for nothing." ”

Yang Youcai also smiled bitterly: "If those thieves know that the general got so many things without moving, and they didn't get much things after working hard, would they be so angry that they came back to life?" ”

On the second day, the city really began to transport things out as agreed, and Cheng Xiaolian began to swear halfway through the transportation.

"I, Daming Zhu and Tan, swear to the sky that if I get the grain, grass and silver in the city, I will definitely retire. If this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon it, and heaven and earth will be destroyed! ”

Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to break his oath, so this oath was made extremely ruthlessly, and of course the people in the city were also at ease, in general, they hadn't seen anyone who had sworn and didn't count, so they were very happy. Cheng Xiaolian found that he liked this era a little, and it felt so good that he could make people believe in one sentence, and an oath was an oath, and no one had the idea of breaking the oath, this is the ancient heart of the people.

The grain and silver taels were quickly transported, and then the silver taels were sent to Mengyang City, and they brought their own grain and grass, and then the supplies were sufficient.

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes soon fixed on Meng Mi City, this big city is the spiritual pillar of Meng Mi's pacification division, if he can be defeated, then Meng Mi's pacification division will be half defeated.
