“…I drank and blacked out again?”
When he woke up and found that he was no longer in Yonggu Pass, Shen Tang knew that the matter was over and his face looked a little sour.
Asking for the details of what happened earlier, he was still dissatisfied: "What was I thinking when I was drunk? How could I let Wu Hui suffer this injustice?"
Just give him a beating
She can fight, too!
Why drink and black out
Gu Chi wanted to roll his eyes and complained, "What else? If the lord destroys Yonggu Pass alone, regardless of winning or losing, it will completely block the possibility of cooperation between the two sides, which will do more harm than good. Wuhui is not going to Yonggu Pass for revenge..."
The main purpose is to test the other party's strengths and find out the bottom line of cooperation as much as possible, while eliminating the potential risk of future conflict between the two sides. This is the biggest gain of this trip.
personal enmity
As long as a person is alive, when can he not report it
Fortunately, my lord also performed well.
The powerful strength made the soldiers of Yonggu Pass no longer dare to underestimate it, and it was also conducive to future running-in and taking over.
Shen Tang knew this truth, but he just didn't accept it.
She rubbed the soreness on her forehead, suppressed the discomfort after the hangover, and asked, "When will the princess come?"
Before he could gain a firm foothold in Longwu County, he was dumped with such a big burden. Shen Tang didn't explode immediately because he was too hungover and couldn't get angry for a while. It would be fine to escort Wang Ji to Shiwu at this time, which was just what he wanted, but he still didn't change how disgusting it was to gather more than a thousand women to "add to the makeup"! He didn't treat women as human beings at all!
If it wasn't Shen Tang, but any other county governor, who was forced to take this task, what would he do
Disobey orders
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Although powerful people in various places have raised their armies and the Zheng Qiao royal court is on the verge of collapse in the storm, it has not fallen yet. Who knows how many trump cards they still have in their hands that they have not played.
If you dare to disobey, you might become an example.
Not disobeying orders
Really send troops out to forcibly recruit more than a thousand eligible women of marriageable age? This person will never be recognized by the common people of Longwu County. There may even be assassinations the next day. People with lofty ideals who hear about this will be ashamed to associate with her.
Putting aside these cold interests, can you have a clear conscience after destroying more than a thousand families? Do you have no bottom line for being a human being
Gu Chi replied: "There is still half a day."
Shen Tang's brows were tightly knitted together.
"Half a day?"
This time is very tight.
Shen Tang asked again: "What about the one thousand young ladies?"
Gu Chi sighed and said, "Seven days!"
"Seven days?"
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows.
She became curious.
Longwu County has been harassed by the Ten Wuma bandits in the past two years. The scale of the harassment has reached its peak in recent years. How many young women dare to live here? Those who are capable have already fled to other places with their families.
Gather one thousand young women within seven days...
Shen Tang said: "... Inhuman!"
If it is really implemented, it will be a hell on earth.
Xu Quan also cursed angrily: "There really is no man left in the royal court! Bastard! It would be fine if they took the initiative to exchange soldiers for marriage, but now they are sending so many women... They call it a 'dowry' for the princess, so that she won't miss her homeland too much when she is alone in a foreign country, but what is their real plan? Isn't this just a louse on a bald head? It's obvious at a glance, isn't it?"
The ten Wuma bandits plundered everywhere not just for food.
Another important goal is women. Now there is no need to risk robbing, people have taken the initiative to send more than a thousand high-quality women of marriageable age to please, haha, Shi Wu can really wake up laughing in his dreams.
Ever since Xu Quan learned about this, he was furious and couldn't calm down for a long time. He wished he could transform himself into the "righteous hero" in the folk stories and assassinate Zheng Qiao alone!
But compared to this, he was more worried about his lord.
Only seven days left...
My lord, you are not someone who would do such a thing with your temper.
So-
There is only one way left!
Xu Quan said angrily: "Why not just rebel against him!"
Although he was emotional, Xu Quan still knew what to say in the right situation. He almost kept his words to himself, so only a few people around him could hear them. He was mainly speaking to his lord: "My lord, what do you think?"
Shen Tang said: "No."
Xu Quan was shocked: "No?"
If this road doesn't work, we'll have to gather more people!
The boy's pupils trembled, his eyes seemed to accuse "My Lord, you have changed", "You are no longer the Lord I knew", Shen Tang said with a smile: "Young man, don't be so impatient! There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and you will naturally straighten yourself when you reach the bridge!"
"Dead end, can't go straight!"
Xu Quan answered straightforwardly.
Gu Chi smiled and reminded: "Wen Shi, don't worry. We have two plans here. One of them is - did you know that the chief clerk has a wonderful skill? It can just solve the urgent problem. If you don't believe it, you might as well ask Xian Deng..."
Xu Quan: “…”
Mr. Qishan has a good idea to solve this dilemma
Jiang Sheng: “…”
How come he gets cueed for every little thing
When Jiang Sheng met Xu Quan's eyes full of curiosity, a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and he uttered word by word without any courtesy: "My husband, I don't know!"
He had no idea how perfect Qi Shan's disguise was! Gu Chi was really talking about something else! Although Xu Quan didn't know why Jiang Sheng reacted so strongly, he could tell from the relaxed demeanor of the gentlemen that this matter was not difficult to resolve. My lord, you don't have to choose between the two, because there is a third way out! He breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Tang went to meet the marriage team, but he did not see the unfortunate "Princess Princess", but only a shrill-voiced, powdered eunuch who was announcing the decree. The eunuch did not take Shen Tang, the county governor, seriously at all, and his attitude was still arrogant.
After the decree was announced, he still tried to solicit a bribe.
But Shen Tang ignored it.
The eunuch's face was gloomy as he failed to extort bribes.
"Princess Wang's marriage to Shiwu is a top priority for both countries, and there can be no mistakes. Does Mr. Shen know?"
Shen Tang said: "Please rest assured, envoy."
The eunuch who announced the decree saw Shen Tang's stupid look and snorted coldly, looking at him with a gloating look. Shen Tang settled the marriage team on the spot, and took the people back to the government office on the grounds that "it would take time to gather people".
Theoretically speaking, with Qi Shan here, not to mention a thousand young women, even ten thousand could be gathered.
"I can't make it up."
Qishan couldn't help but pour cold water on his lord.
Do you really think his literary talent is free
This involves disguising a thousand people, not just one or ten people. The scale is too large and the time is too tight to complete.
Seeing that the brave warriors headed by Gong Shuwu did not speak, Zhao Feng said, "This is really too much! Mr. Shen, in my opinion, Zheng Qiao is now in trouble. If he kills the envoy and rebels, he may not be able to spare the manpower to clear out the rebellion..."
Let’s bet on this possibility!
It's better than being forced into the middle.
Shen Tang said nothing, just looked at Bai Su.
Q: “Are those people okay?”
Shen Tang has a female armed force.
However, their levels are uneven. Some of them can be considered elite, but others have only been recruited for a short time and are not mature in all aspects. It is hard to say how much strength they can exert if they rashly go to the battlefield. Shen Tang plans to take them to Shiwu and make a scene!
Bai Su was suddenly called, but she didn't seem to panic.
She said, "Sure!"
How many young and strong men were sent to the battlefield to fend for themselves right after being conscripted? Every one who survived was an elite who had experienced countless life and death experiences. In comparison, the people under Bai Su were already very lucky, because they had enough time to accumulate the capital to survive on the battlefield. The more than 100 most qualified among them had been carefully trained for two years.
A warrior's blade does not see blood, and is always playing house. If they can't survive like this... it only proves that they really don't deserve to live. As for the rest, except for a few who are not very old, the rest have been training carefully for two or three months.
For ordinary soldiers, after two or three months of training, they can be considered half "elite" when they are sent to the battlefield!
so-
Bai Su repeated: "They can!"
Shen Tang carefully deduced and considered the situation in his mind.
After a while, his eyes turned to Xu Quan.
Xu Quan was inexplicably flustered by this look. His master said, "Wen Shi, I have an important task for you!"
"My lord, please speak."
Shen Tang coughed lightly.
I felt embarrassed, which was rare.
Actually, it was nothing, because most of the people under Bai Su were "new recruits" and their overall combat effectiveness might not be ideal. They were also the most unexpected backup for this plan and could not afford to make mistakes. She wanted to add another "female warrior".
Xu Quan: “…???”
Touched his chest.
Murmured: "But, but I am a man..."
It’s not good to hang out in the girls’ camp.
“That’s not a problem!”
Shen Tang waved his hand.
Let's pray for goodness!
