Back Off, Let Me Come

Looking at the low office table that was smashed to pieces by himself, Shen Tang, who was already furious, had veins beating wildly on his forehead, and his heart was trembling with pain. This table is made of fine sandalwood. She found it from several stores and it is her favorite table recently.

But I couldn't say it out loud.

Take a deep breath——

She warned herself to learn to control her temper, and the bad habit of scrapping furniture at every turn was not advisable. She was not that rich yet, and if the table broke, she would have to dig out her pocket to make a new one.

Strange things come and go, and it’s all the fault of the indifferent Zheng Qiao brothers!

Xu Jie didn't know what she was thinking.

Just by looking at the regret and distress in her eyes, I guessed that Jun Shen must be regretful for not controlling his temper and felt sorry for the more than 200,000 innocent people who were driven to die. To be honest, he felt distressed too. But you can only take care of yourself.

This is not 20,000!

This is a full two hundred thousand!

Two hundred thousand people were forced to become bandits, without a home, and to leave their homes! They had no land or food in their hands, only countless people and hungry bellies.

Today they are almost like locusts.

Wherever it passes, there will be no grass growing!

Taken individually, they are nothing.

Personal power is slim and cannot make much waves.

There is no need to worry about causing damage even if it is admitted to the territory under its own control. But 200,000 hungry and crazy people gathered together to plunder and plunder together. Even twenty people waiting for Chehou would feel numb when they saw it and temporarily avoided the sharp edge.

Even my own lord is powerless.

One careless move will turn everything upside down.

The only thing they can do is to take care of their own three-thirds of an acre of land to prevent bandits from coming to rob and kill.

Xu Jielai said this to Shen Tang because he also wanted to give Shen Jun a warning - this year's harvest is not good. Although everyone's harvest is average, Heyin County has a small bumper year.

Every household has paid sufficient field taxes and has one year's worth of food left, and the government office's granary is still stocked with some...

Who doesn’t feel jealous after seeing this?

Xu Jie was worried that the grass bandits would flee to Heyin.

You can never go wrong by preparing ahead of time.

Shen Tang naturally understood.

It is one thing to sympathize with these common people, but as the governor of Heyin County, Shen Tang cannot foolishly run to take in these people just because of sympathy. Does she have so much food to feed people? Does she have enough manpower to restrain the more than 200,000 grass bandits from causing trouble, so they can farm their land peacefully? She has so much land for more than 200,000 common people to cultivate?

Shen Tang even had to worry about his own safety.

[If you store grain but not guns, your home will be a granary; if you store guns but not grain, everything will be a granary. 】

The words he used to tease Xu Jie hit him on the head.

Her family had food, but not enough guns.

Shen Tang secretly took a deep breath to calm down: "Does Wen Zhu know where they are?"

"I received the news that I have been driven out of Qianzhou."

"How long does it take to get to Ha Yin?"

"Counting the journey, there are still more than a month."

Shen Tang murmured: "Yue Yu..."

A rough map of the nearby area immediately appeared in his mind.

The Geng State and the original Xin State were considered the first ladder in the northwest. The two countries combined had four states in total. They are Lingzhou, Qianzhou, Yanzhou, and Kunzhou that were captured by the rebellion of the two kings of Xin, as well as two counties that were captured by killing small countries.

Zheng Qiao's current power can only affect Qianzhou and most of Yanzhou. Lingzhou and the remaining Yanzhou area are controlled by various forces, and King She is not in peace either. Although the territory is not as big as Zheng Qiao's, there is plenty of food and grass there.

Except for the lack of a national seal, the two kings are not weak in strength.

Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses drove away the rebellious people and drove them to Kunzhou, the base camp of King Shen's forces. On the way, they were very close to Heyin where Shen Tang was located. The autumn harvest has just ended and the granaries are full.

That group of hungry grass bandits won't come to plunder?

is it possible?

Xu Jie sighed: "Is Mr. Shen sure?"

Shen Tang smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid that I will live up to the high opinion of Wen Zhu."

More than two hundred thousand...

No matter how hard the head is, it can't be hit.

Xu Jie obviously also knew about Shen Tang's difficulties: "...it may not necessarily be that he will rob Heyin, maybe he will bypass it in the middle... But in order to nip it in the bud, Mr. Shen should make preparations early. If Mr. Shen is in trouble, My Lord will not refuse.”

This is not something Xu Jie is good at making.

His lord had made it clear to him personally.

Tianhai is willing to devote all his wealth to support!

The relationship between the two families is so good, who is following whom?

Xu Jie naturally wanted to convey this meaning in place.

Shen Tang could only smile and say thanks.

There is no disturbance in my heart.

Wu Xian is the leader of a force, and his every move follows the logic of interests rather than "emotional behavior." It's okay to tease the two families about their "deep love", but whoever takes it seriously will lose.

Heyin is next to Tianhai.

Instead of letting the grass bandits plunder Heyin and attack Tianhai, it would be better to put the battlefield in Heyin. How could Wu Xian look coldly at Shen Tang's side? We have to send troops to help for our own sake.

As a rescued person, Shen Tang still had to provide food, grass and baggage.

She said: "I will discuss this matter with Wuhui and the others."

Xu Jie did not urge him.

The pace of those homeless grass bandits is not fast.

It will take a while before the leading troops arrive at Heyin.

Negotiate slowly and prepare thoroughly.

Shen Tang was so worried that all the joy brought by the autumn harvest was gone. After sending Xu Jie away, she turned around and sent a bluebird message to Qi Shan and others. As night fell, the people who had been urgently summoned arrived at the official office one after another and held a meeting with lights on.

Admittedly, this is very bad news.

"Including the first part of Dayi's account, there are only 5,000 people in total. Five thousand people beat more than 200,000 homeless grass bandits..." Let alone attack, defense is very difficult. Allocating manpower for defense means that a series of subsequent plans will have to be completed. Set aside. Shen Tang counted his family fortune with his fingers and just wanted to look up to the sky and scream...

Why is she so miserable?

People's livelihood, which has finally improved, will come to a halt again.

"Do you guys have any good ideas?"

Praying for good is indeed an "evil plan".

Dang Ji said: "It's not like there's nothing."

Shen Tang hurriedly asked: "Yuan Liang, please tell me!"

Qishan said softly: "The disaster is diverted to the east!"

When Wu Xian received the news, he extended an olive branch. Was it because he regarded Ha Yin as a buffer line of defense? The expelled common people and bandits will pass through various counties and counties. Those counties and counties will not collapse so quickly and can take the opportunity to drive people elsewhere...

Just avoid Ha Yin.

"...We have so many people doing this?"

"I think he would be very happy to borrow troops from Wu Zhaode."

Shen Tang: "..."

Of course Wu Zhaode would be happy.

Who made the two families so miserable now?

Not only Wu Xian, but also Gu Ren and Zhang He could borrow troops.

When one family suffers, it's the next family's turn.

If you don't sign up for a group tour now, you can only buy a group ticket to see the King of Hell, but Shen Tang doesn't want to do this selfishly. Because treating the symptoms but not the root cause will not do any good except letting these more than 200,000 people harm other places, the situation may be even worse.

Shen Tang muttered: "Actually, these more than 200,000 people..."

Qishan could see Shen Tang's thoughts at a glance.

"My lord, is your heart moved?"

"That's more than 200,000 laborers!"

Who can not be moved!

If she hadn't been so poor, with not enough money and a small territory, she would have really wanted to bring more than 200,000 people back to her home.

Qishan sneered and said, "You have to live with it."

Obviously, my lord's fate is not so tough yet.

Shen Tang: "..."

Seeing the look on his lord's face, Kang Shi thought she was timid because of too many enemies. He suddenly changed his mind and said, "Xu Wenzhu's worry is not unreasonable, but lord, don't worry too much. These refugees and grass bandits have nothing to do with it." Discipline, without command and control, it is impossible to work together. By the time they are exiled near Heyin, there will be at most thirty to fifty thousand."

Some may go into the mountains and forests to become bandits.

Some may occupy the county and proclaim themselves county governors.

Some simply got separated, died of starvation, or died of illness.

They are like headless flies now and have no idea where to fly. If there are a few ambitious people among them who raise a banner and go it alone, it will also divert some people away. There are not too many common people and grass bandits that may really pose a threat to He Yin.

Two hundred thousand people from Wuyangyang are coming?

How can there be such concerted action ability?

If so, Zheng Qiao would have been kicked off the throne of the country's leader long ago.

But for Shen Tang's meager family background, 30,000 to 50,000 hungry people were enough for her to drink a pot.

These common people have picked up the butcher's knife and turned into bandits, and it is difficult to let go. Even if the lord is willing to accept it, other common people under his rule may not be willing - because the cultivated land in Heyin County has been almost allocated.

How can it be distributed to foreigners?

Shen Tang held his chin and sighed.

Chu Yao glanced at Kang Shi from the corner of his eye.

Kang Jishou's words may not sound wrong at first glance, but in fact there is a flaw that is not easy to notice.

These grass bandits plundered the counties and counties where they passed, and the people in the local counties and counties were robbed of food and money, and they also faced hunger problems. If county troops are unable to protect their safety and solve their livelihood problems, they will continue to join the ranks of grassroots bandits.

That is to say——

The number of grass bandits now exceeds 200,000.

If they are unable to resist and are allowed to expand and develop wildly, their scale will skyrocket, even to no less than a million.

Kang Shi also noticed his gaze and nodded slightly.

Chu Yao swallowed back the words that reached the tip of his tongue.

He knew that Kang Shi said this just to boost his own confidence - if their backbone loses confidence and resists passively, how can their subordinates keep their spirits up?

Chu Yao took out a simple map and pointed to the places above: "Xu Wen's note said that these refugees were driven to Kunzhou. It is speculated that they will follow this route and pass through these places..."

Shen Tang craned his neck to look over.

Said: "Previous allies of the Allied Forces in Sibao County."

Chu Yao guessed: "I should be able to receive requests for help after a while."

If they can't bear it, they will definitely ask for help everywhere. As the most dazzling figure in that battle, the possibility of his lord receiving help is extremely high. At that time, they will join forces with Wu Xian and others to send troops.

How can you handle this kind of thing by yourself?

Naturally, you want to drag people into the water.

Try to separate the battlefield from your own territory.

Chu Yao and others had the same idea as Wu Xian.

Of course, this is the ideal result.

They also have to prepare for the worst.

Immediately mobilize the people within the territory to prepare for war, hide food at home, be vigilant, recruit troops, and conduct emergency military training to enrich our own strength. Send people to several sites in Guren to see if they can cooperate again.

The letter asking for help arrived earlier than expected.
