Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 363

  Chapter 363 Chapter 363: Homeless Grasshoppers (2)【Two in One】

  Although the crisis is approaching, the atmosphere in He Yin, especially Fugu City, is not very tense.

   It's time to work, work, work.

  Everything seems to be business as usual.

   It's not that these common people are heartless, but that they firmly believe that their sheriff will defeat the enemy. Miracles happen the first time, so naturally they will happen the second time, right?

  Since the news was announced, there were "sneaky" figures at the gate of the government office. They would sneak up close while the night was still dim, and then quickly drop a bag of corn, dry food or a few men's clothes made of Gebu and run away.

   There were also those with disabilities who were caught by the guards.

   It took repeated persuasion to get people to take the things back.

   This matter also reached Shen Tang's ears.

  Gu Chi smiled and said: "The people of He Yin are all in submission."

  After experiencing the hardship of not having enough to eat, I realized how rare it is to have a sheriff who is dedicated to serving the people so that they have land to grow, food to eat, and clothes to wear. Whether these common people are out of simple thoughts or purely for their own interests - if Shen Tang falls, the good days they have finally settled down will come to an end, and both will be damaged - they will strongly support them.

   But most of them are old, weak, women and children, how to support them?

  It is nothing more than donating military supplies.

  Gu Chi knew that the latter factor accounted for the majority.

  He Yin before his lord came, it was a poor land full of wicked people. In the words of my lord, Tang Seng arrived in the morning and went to Xitian in the afternoon. When the Bull Demon King came, he had to plow two acres of land and then be made into beef noodles.

  The so-called simplicity…

   Alas, as long as there is no chaos.

   Gu Chi was also happy to pick what Shen Tang liked to hear.

Shen Tang paused with his hand holding the pen, and said: "Although this year is a bumper year, every family's rations are also in short supply, so I told the guards in the official office not to accept it. By the way, Wang Chao, can you find a mountain to avoid danger? It needs to be arranged as soon as possible to prevent just in case."

  When she went back to think about it that night, she realized that she had been fooled by Kang Jishou, and the number of refugees and grassroots bandits she had to face in reality was not just three to fifty thousand. I am not afraid of these vagrant bandits carrying wooden sticks, poles, and hoes, but I can't stand their numbers. Once they break through and rush into the county, the people under the rule will be the first to suffer.

  Shen Tang made several preparations here.

  One of them is to let the common people retreat into the mountains.

  Resist a group of refugees and grassroots with the help of mountain terrain.

  As long as there is not enough food for the winter in Heyin, these people will naturally retreat and turn to other places to plunder. But this method is a bad idea, unless it is a last resort, Shen Tang doesn't want to do it, because it's too embarrassing for his teammates.

  He Yin couldn't find food, and the unlucky neighbors, Shangnan, Tianhai, Yiru and other places?

  The best strategy is to take the initiative to attack;

  Passive defense;

  The next strategy is to avoid its edge.

  Talking about business, Gu Chi restrained his relaxed smile, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, the place has been found."

  Shen Tang: "So fast?"

   Gu Chi replied: "There are ready-made ones, so it will be fast."

  They suppressed the bandits all the way before taking over Heyin. The abandoned military defense facilities of the bandit villages can still be used after repairing. Every bandit village is in a good position, easy to defend, and hidden. Among them, the one with the highest level of defense is the bandit village that He Yinzhang secretly funded and built, that is, the one that was picked out by his lord himself. There is also an iron mining workshop nearby.

   It's just that I was busy restoring people's livelihood in the previous year, wishing that I had three heads and six arms, and I had no energy, money or manpower to manage them, so I only sent a few guards.

   "Oh, those companies have done a little bit of personnel work." Shen Tang mocked indifferently, and finally thought of other things, "Is there any reply from Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing?"

   In a critical moment, we still have to be twisted into a single rope.

  Both Gu Ren and Zhang He are not incomprehensible guys. It is impossible to fail to see the situation clearly, and there is a high probability that they will send troops over.

   Gu Chi said: "It's only been two days."

   The implication is not so fast.

  Shen Tang rubbed the sore and swollen eyebrows, took a sip of hot tea, and cleared up her mind that was spinning around a bit, she said: "Why have only two days passed? Tsk, it really feels like years."

   These days, she lives on her fingers.

   Before expecting a few replies from Gu Ren, he first received a letter asking for help. Accompanied by the arrival of the help letter, there was also a string of very bad news-this group of refugees and grassroots fled all the way, and in order to survive, they gathered their forces to sneak attack through the county and town.

  The unlucky town was washed away without any precautions, the government office was captured, people were killed, and money was robbed. Regardless of whether the slain deserved the crime or died innocently, everyone who was alive was silenced.

   Blood flowed like rivers for a while, and the whole city was silent.

They rested in the area for two or three days, and based on this plundered county town, they began to attack the neighbors in an organized way-the autumn harvest was just over, and every household still had some food left. They were not in a hurry to flee, but relied on their numbers , plus surprise, and then the next county. It is currently besieging the third one, but it has not been eaten, and it is still in a stalemate.

   It's not about how capable they are, but because they received the news one or two days in advance, but the situation is not optimistic.

  _(:з)∠)_

  Because they were besieged.

  There are tens of thousands of people outside the city!

   It's embarrassing to say, but it's true

   Although most of these refugees are ordinary people with yellow skin and thin skin, who don't have enough food and clothing, and the weapons in their hands are only hoes, sickles and poles, but when they gather together, they can still be frightening, and they will be beaten and run away. The chief of the prefecture office also wanted to let the brave fighters go out to kill randomly. It would be best to kill the courage of these people and drive them away. As a result, two people went out, one dead and the other injured.

   Among these people there are also warriors.

  The strength is not weak!

   In desperation, I can only find a way to rescue soldiers.

  Send out seven or eight people to cast a wide net.

  Among the seven or eight people, some were captured alive, some were shot to death, and the rest escaped the pursuit by chance and went to their destinations. Their relatives are all in the besieged city, even if they are afraid of death, they can only bite the bullet.

  One of the letters was delivered to Shen Tang.

  The messenger was a young man.

  Didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, his lips were dry, chapped and peeled, and the straw sandals under his feet were already worn out, revealing a pair of smooth big feet. In order to deliver the letter smoothly, he specially dressed up as a refugee. His clothes were torn and tattered, and he could vaguely see the undulating tight muscles under the old clothes. If you take a closer look, you can still smell the strong smell of blood and sweat on his body.

   This person was targeted as soon as he appeared.

  Shen Tang said: "He was beaten by Shaoxuan?"

   Bai Su: "I didn't gain the upper hand."

  It turned out that the courier did not dare to take the main road, but traveled through deep mountains and old forests, and specially chose a remote road with few people. But Bai Su usually practiced there, and hit her hand directly.

  The messenger is good at bows and arrows, and is also a warrior.

  The two started fighting like this.

  The young man obviously had some scruples, he didn't dare to fight openly, and was finally captured by Xian Yujian, who led the troops nearby. After some questioning, I found out that he was a messenger and not a spy.

  Xian Yujian couldn't make up his mind: [What should I do? 】

   Bai Su said: [Take it to see the lord. 】

  Xian Yujian said to the young messenger: 【Offended. 】

  The messenger also guessed that the two were under the tent of He Yin and Shen Jun, and did not resist, but when he was being escorted, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Bai Su who was dressed in plain clothes. Xian Yujian, who was escorting him, kicked his calf angrily: [Look what? 】

  The messenger said: 【This Alang is handsome. 】

  Grows thin skin and tender flesh.

  At first glance, I thought it was a girl.

  Xian Yujian: [Stop talking nonsense! 】

   Molesting someone before the identity of the messenger has been proved, are you courting death? Xian Yujian came to Fugu City as a young man, and worked with Zhao Feng and Gong Shuwu every day, struggling on the front lines of building houses, plowing fields, and building roads, and had a lot of contact with Bai Su.

  Knowing that Bai Su hates others to talk about things, if this little thief doesn't want to be slapped in the face by Bai Su's double swords and long spikes, he had better keep his mouth shut. Xian Yujian's warning was still effective, the messenger was safe, and Bai Su came to the official office to inform Shen Tang of the matter.

   Then there is the above dialogue.

   Knowing that Bai Su suffered a bit, she was relieved.

   "Shaoxuan has only a short period of time to practice martial arts, which is different from when they were young. If he can't gain the upper hand today, it doesn't mean he won't be able to in the future. Did the messenger report his name?"

   Bai Su shook his head: "No."

  The courier is also cautious.

   You have to see Shen Tang before you are willing to tell the truth.

   "Okay, follow me to have a look."

  Bai Su followed behind with two swords, as if in a guarding posture.

   "My lord, you need to be careful with this person."

  Who knows if he is the real messenger or the false messenger? Bai Su was worried that this fellow would steal the letter from the real messenger and come to assassinate Shen Tang.

  Shen Tang said: "Don't worry."

  Assassination?

   Or assassinate her?

  Hehe, I'm afraid it's not here to give away the head.

  At this time, the autumn harvest has just passed, and the weather has not completely turned cold.

Shen Tang is as hot as a small stove. He still wears a thin summer shirt. In addition, he has grown up and down over the past year. Now he looks like a handsome young man with a beautiful face, who can bloom with a smile. .

  The messenger has long been beaten and beaten by Xian Yujian.

  But when he saw Shen Tang, he couldn't help but lose his mind.

  Shen Tang took the main seat.

   asked: "Who sent you?"

The messenger came back to his senses, and was surprised at Shen Tang's youth. This Shen Jun's brows were full of youthful childishness, which made him doubt the value of the letter in his arms that had been sent through so much painstaking effort—afraid Yes, give it away for nothing, right?

  I thought so in my heart, but never showed it on my face.

  He saluted respectfully.

   reported to the house.

  As Chu Wuhui guessed before, the first few places to suffer were members of the Alliance Army. The one who was besieged even choked with Shen Tang, and had a little conflict, but afterward, he generously donated money and "borrowed" a lot of food, grass and military supplies, and this conflict was smoothed over. It is reasonable to send someone to ask for help.

  Shen Tang read word by word the help letter sent by the messenger. The bamboo slips are limited in space and the content has been simplified again and again. But it is not difficult to see the anxiety in the heart of the person who wrote the letter.

  She put down the appeal letter, her frowning brows never relaxed.

   "I have read the letter you sent, but it is not exhaustive. I still want to ask you some questions."

  The messenger secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

   It's a good thing if you don't refuse immediately.

Shen Tang pretended to be puzzled and said: "I remember last year when we formed an alliance in Sibao County. Lu Gong's tent has plenty of troops, horses, food and grass, and there are many good fighters. It may be difficult to repel the siege of the refugees, but it is not a problem to stick to it. There is another autumn harvest in the city. The autumn grain that comes up should not worry about military supplies, but the rioters are short of food and clothing, and they will retreat after a few days...Why ask for help?"

The messenger hurriedly said: "Mr. Shen doesn't know... This group of rebellious grass bandits are not all ordinary people, and there are also powerful warriors among them as their commanders. Lu Gong sent his favorite generals to fight the chaos, and as a result, one died and the other was injured. "

  Shen Tang's face changed suddenly.

   "Are there warriors?"

  The courier nods.

  Shen Tang asked again: "Do you know the strength? How many people are there?"

   The specific strength of the enemy is not clear to the messenger.

   But judging from the brave warrior who was killed, there was at least an eighth-class public on the enemy's side. The high-level martial arts fighters were second, and what frightened Duke Lu the most was that there were thousands of second-class elites among the rioters.

  Shen Tang: "...Thousands of people? Second class?"

  The courier nodded heavily.

  Shen Tang: "..."

  Thousands of second-class top...

   Could this be a gang of mobs?

  Shen Tang couldn't resist the conspiracy theory that this group of elites was directed and acted by Zheng Qiao behind his back, with the purpose of killing all rebels who opposed him. But after thinking about it, the possibility is basically impossible. Because the first to be hit was Qianzhou, where Zheng Qiao was located.

  If it weren't for the National Seal, it would really be unbearable to withstand the sudden rise of rebel forces. You can't suppress them, you can only drive them away.

   Where did these people come from?

  Shen Tang asked carefully, not letting go of any details.

  The messenger can only suppress his anxiety.

  But he knew in his heart that it was difficult to deal with thousands of second-class high-level fighters plus the senior warriors who led them. He had vaguely heard some rumors about He Yin that Shen Jun had excellent governance ability, but he had never heard of how to command and train troops.

  He can only know everything without saying nothing.

  Even the general attire of the more than a thousand second-class masters was mentioned.

  Shen Tang rested his chin in thought.

  The messenger couldn't wait.

   He gritted his teeth, and saluted again, his head hit the ground heavily, making a muffled sound, which made Shen Tang's head ache.

"Right now, the rioters are causing trouble and harming one side. The Duke of Lu is suffering and is alone and helpless. The common people of Luxia County are in danger. If this catastrophe of life and death cannot be overcome, and Luxia County is occupied by the rioters, they can use the food and grass of Luxia County, Conquering all directions wantonly, at that time - I am afraid that Heyin County under Shen Jun's feet will not escape. I implore Shen Jun to send troops to help!"

  The messenger must convince Shen Tang.

  His family members are also in their hometown in Luxia County.

  He has seen the horrors of being slaughtered by the rioters. Once the city is broken, his family members and fellow villagers will also become unjust souls lying on the ground-this is absolutely intolerable to him!

  The messenger looked anxious.

  But I don't know that Shen Tang's side is also riding a tiger.

  How many people does she have under her account? ? ?

  The one surnamed Lu really thinks highly of her.

   But when people come to ask for help, they cannot refuse.

  Once he refuses, the next time it is He Yin's turn to suffer, there will be no allies to help. She took a deep breath, and showed a gentle and confident smile on her face: "The thieves are making trouble and endangering lives, so naturally we can't sit idly by..."

   Hope surged in the messenger's eyes.

  Shen Tang changed the subject: "It's just—this is not a good time to send troops, can you wait a little longer, at most two days!"

  The messenger is urgent: "Why?"

Shen Tang sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, as early as a few days ago, I received an informant, and immediately sent a letter of borrowing troops to Tianhai, Shangnan and Yiru, hoping to combine the strength of the four families to kill the refugees and grasshoppers. repel…"

   ()σyou

   This year, I took the bus to sweep the tomb. It took me two hours to go back and forth, and I felt drowsy.

   For the sake of hard work, I hope that the ancestors will bless the mushroom novel.
