There are only two roads from Yunyang Territory to Rivet City, one is through Lianbo City, and the other is through Fengyan City.
Most people will choose to walk from Lianbo City, because that road is a big road, and it is spacious and comfortable to walk on. In comparison, Fengyan City is just an old city that couldn't be smaller, and the surrounding roads are also very rough, especially after it rains, the muddy roads will make it difficult for people to walk.
Before going out for the expedition, Fang Shisan decided to let Felita, who had completed her retreat and was promoted to the sixth major, to defend Lianbo City, but she was still uncertain about the defenders of Fengyan City. Lu Ge's Xuanjia Battalion had more With high combat power, Wang Dongying led by Selaginella is also eager to make contributions because he just joined Yuxi City. In the end, Fang Shisan called the two people together and asked them how to deal with the situation there after they arrived in Fengyan City.
Luge and Selaginella have similar views: on the one hand, they need to strengthen the city wall, and on the other hand, they must win the support of the people.
But regarding "how to gain the support and trust of the people of Fengyan City", the two people have different opinions.
Lu Ge advocated that the materials in the city be gathered together for unified deployment, and at the same time explain to them the various benefits of Yuxi City, so that they believe that they can live a better life by following him.
Selaginella's answer is only two short words: give money!
Seeing that Luge's small eyes were full of doubts, Selaginella calmly explained:
"I have been to Fengyan City, it is very poor, poorer than you can imagine. And the people who live there are basically farmers who have settled down for generations, and have never seen the outside. Gathering supplies is equivalent to getting money from their Grabbing money and food in their hands has already stood on the opposite side of them; you tell them how good Yuxi City is, and they can't understand it, because poverty limits their imagination."
Selaginella looked at Fang Shisan, and continued:
"So we can only give money, use money to buy our credit, and use money to make them believe what we say. Lianbo City is fine. Li Ze has lived there for so many years, and he must have accumulated a lot in his hands. Wealth. As long as we distribute all the cash and land to the people, they will help us defend the city, because once Lianbo City is captured by Yunyang again, the family property they just got will be taken away again. But Fengyan City There are no famous nobles who can use it for surgery, and we can only pay for this money ourselves."
In the end, Fang Shisan ordered Selaginella to go to Fengyan City, and Lu Ge stayed with her to guard Rivet City.
Immediately afterwards, Yuxi City held a high-level meeting. After obtaining the consent of the parties concerned, the Huabei repayment paid to Baihuang during the month was suspended. supplies. The saying that money can make ghosts grind is universally applicable. Selaginella, who has a complete life as a refugee, knows how to deal with these native farmers. Under the offensive of generous money, the people of Fengyan City took the initiative to help him strengthen Wall, volunteered to help him defend the city.
The high wages and the recruitment of a large number of people at one time convinced everyone that the general from Yuxi City had enough financial resources.
The salaries for the people are settled once a day, and those who work more can get more rewards. Every night, the people can go home with heavy money bags, so that they believe that Yuxi City means what it says.
After Wang Dongying entered Fengyan City, he did not commit any crimes. It was completely different from the army when the war broke out before, and the people gradually recognized this army.
At this time, tell them all the deeds of Yuxi City, and tell them that after the war, they will get various tax cuts, good medical care and education, and convenient transportation in all directions, so they will believe it.
In the past, changing the law also paid attention to moving wood and establishing trust. Wangdongying, who is new to Wangdongying, wants to win the support of the people without spending money. It is better to say that the problem can be solved with money, which is already the best situation at the moment.
On the city wall, Selaginella was beckoning the sweaty soldiers to change shifts. Heji stood behind him, watching him talk to all kinds of people constantly. After finally waiting for no one, I asked him directly:
"What do you estimate the odds of winning this time are?"
Selaginella smiled and replied:
"It's hurtful to raise the odds, and I don't know. I've only been in Yuxi City for a long time, and my understanding of this city is only the tip of the iceberg. It's definitely not as good as you locals in Yuxi City. I can only say that our side is guarding If it is the case, the chances of winning are quite high, I believe that my immediate superior can defeat Fei Luoge on the frontal battlefield, even if Fei Luoge is a veteran who fought side by side with my father back then."
Heggie calmly corrected a problem:
"I'm not from Yuxi City, but from Yunhai, and I'm the Missy's guard."
Selaginella slandered, didn't your eldest miss send you to this place, but he didn't say anything, turned his head to look at the gray sky, and asked:
"However, do you feel that it is extra hot today?"
Heji only thought that he was digging the topic out of nothing, so the response was a little cold:
"Yes, but the mind is calm and cool."
Selaginella narrowed his eyes and said:
"Don't be calm. It's hotter, hotter...it'll cool down soon. Heavy rain is coming."
…
Pettis led two thousand people to tentatively attack Lianbo City first, but temporarily chose to retreat after eating two ancient spells from Felita. Although these two magics did not cause obvious casualties due to the protection of the military formation, Pettis clearly felt that the protection of the military formation began to waver after bearing such a fierce attack.
The biggest problem with attacking the city with such a magic bombardment is that every charge will pay a huge price. If their reserve forces can be continuously replenished now, Pettis really dares to consume with Felita, to see if all his soldiers will be sacrificed first, or Felita's magic power will be exhausted first, but it is not possible now Well, the two thousand people Ferrog gave him were only here to find out the truth. If he attacked recklessly and lost the battle, it would be even more difficult for Ferrog.
So after confirming the current situation in Lianbo City, Pettis turned his horse around and went to Fengyan City. Before he came here, he knew that Lied had two thugs under his command. Alaya was now guarding Fang Shisan in Rivet City, and Felita occupied Lianbo City after going around and cut off their main escape route. Yancheng's defense force will inevitably be weaker.
As he galloped wildly, Pettis suddenly felt something passing across his face.
He stopped his horse and looked up, only to see a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the dark sky, and then the rapid raindrops kept hitting his armor. Pettis just frowned at first, grabbed the rein with both hands and planned to continue to rush to Wind and Smoke City at full speed, but then he suddenly remembered something, and his mind went blank for an instant.
At the same time, the drenched sentinel slapped his horse forward, got off his horse beside Pettis, knelt down on one knee, and said eagerly to Pettis:
"It's bad! Lord Pettis! The road, the road ahead... can't go through."
