Chapter 72 The angry and rebellious old father (3) (1/2)

Chapter 72 The angry and rebellious old father (3) (1/2)

The reason for Lin Shiheng's rebellion was that the government forced the people to rebel.

Therefore, he has always positioned his image very accurately: an old farmer forced to rebel.

Because he was forced to rebel, he usually did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for the government to attack, and then defeated these large numbers of officers and soldiers with a small number of people.

Because he is an old farmer, even if he rebels, he will send people to cultivate the fields.

Fortunately, most of the people under my command were ordinary people in the past, and all of them were good at farming. In addition, they conquered a city. Now they have land and cattle, and they can grow food, melons and vegetables and earn money. , suddenly made a group of common people whose main job was farming become more determined to follow Lin Shiheng.

Under Lin Shiheng's tireless brainwashing, no, under his declaration, the people under him who had been converted from common people into soldiers all insisted on one concept: It was not that we wanted to rebel, but that your court forced us to rebel.

As long as you don't hit us poor people, we certainly won't hit you either.

We rebelled so that we could have enough to eat, so now that we have occupied a city, we will not expand outwards. Instead, we will plant land and vegetables with peace of mind, and treat this place behind closed doors as a paradise without disputes.

Not only did they think so themselves, but they also spread it to the outside world under the leadership of Lin Shiheng.

Gradually, many people who have been forced to live in this troubled world also know that there is such a good place. As long as they sincerely seek refuge, they will shelter and accept them. Although they cannot eat and drink for free, as long as they work, You can definitely support yourself.

Word of mouth spread, attracting more and more victims who wanted to survive, and Lin Shiheng took them in one by one. Although he would select strong men to join the army for daily training, his main job was farming.

The other three rebel groups that were originally concerned about the sudden emergence of a civil rebel organization gradually relaxed.

Compared with this colleague who is devoted to farming even if he rebels, of course those colleagues who rebel just to ascend the throne and expand their territory at all times are much more threatening.

The three major rebel groups that had previously relaxed their vigilance because of the small number of people under this rising star now do not take them seriously. Of course, they are still a force after all. The three parties have sent people to send letters expressing their wishes. Intent to solicit.

Naturally, none of the rebels in Zhoucheng agreed.

This was also expected by the three parties.

I also know that it is better to be the master of one's own affairs than to rely on others. What's more, the imperial power still exists, and the three parties are confronting each other. One side is constantly expanding and the other is playing the role of Qingjun. No one knows who the final winner will be. who.

At this time, if you stand in line, if you stand in the right direction, your career will skyrocket; if you stand in the wrong direction, your life will be ruined.

It would be better to live your life behind closed doors like this. Although it may seem a little wretched, as long as the new master takes the throne, the rebels who have never fought against the new master and still have a lot of manpower will definitely be able to be recruited.

The three parties' counselors came up with similar results. They determined that the rebels who occupied Zhou City just wanted to wait for the new lord to show up and submit to him, and then reported it to the lord immediately. They didn't care about Zhou Cheng, a colleague with few people and no enterprising spirit. Like We don’t have to worry about them because we can finish them casually. It’s better to be wary of those colleagues who have strong soldiers and like to expand their territory everywhere.

It is precisely because the new master has not yet been decided, and the three rebels are of equal strength. While fighting the court, they also have to fight each other. In addition, Zhou Cheng, a pitiful, weak, helpless and pathetic man, sent letters to all three parties, saying that although now We can't rely on any of you, but if you want to fight or do something else and need to pass by us, Zhou Cheng will do his best to cooperate.

As soon as the letter was received, the news that City Lord Zhou was timid made the three parties completely relax.

But think about it. It is said that the guy who took the lead was a farmer and had always been benevolent. The reason for the rebellion was because the villagers killed the official and came to him for help. He usually does not take the initiative to attack. Only when the official came to the door did he order a war. In this way, others pushed him away. There is nothing to fear from a person who is one step ahead.

Zhou Cheng was temporarily excluded from the list of candidates to compete for the world. The rebels from the three parties began to fight with each other again, and occasionally fought with the court to seize the territory. You came and I was very happy.

And Zhou Cheng, who was devoted to farming, seemed to be living in this peach garden with peace of mind. At first, some officials thought that Zhou Cheng was a soft persimmon, and sent troops to try to pinch him, but in the end he was killed, half of them died and the other half did it. captured.

It's an accident, it must be an accident!

The imperial court, which did not believe in evil, sent more troops this time.

This time, most of them were left as prisoners. According to the information revealed, those prisoners were forced to farm and lived a miserable life every day.

Didn’t it mean that all the people in Zhoucheng were people who didn’t know how to fight?

The imperial court sent troops for the third time, and after once again leaving most of the people as prisoners, they gave up on the difficult nut of Zhou City.

After all, Zhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and people can't get out. What can they do? Since this group of rebels doesn't want to go out to cause trouble, but just waits quietly, it's better to leave some troops to deal with those few A true rebel with wolfish ambitions.

The imperial court did not care about Zhou City, and the three parties did not look down on such a difficult and unpalatable bone, so Zhou City survived.

But Zhou Cheng also gradually encountered some troubles.

It was also because of the reputation of the former Lord of Zhou City. It was said that he was a soft-hearted person. He lived well in the village, but when he noticed the bandits coming down the mountain, he obviously could have escaped by himself, but he risked his life to report the news to other villages. .

At that time, he could have avoided going up to the mountain bandits because there was no place to hide near those villages. The villagers knelt down and begged. He really couldn't stand the begging. He gave the villagers an idea and stayed behind to face the mountain bandits himself. bandit.

Later, a corrupt official coveted the property that was taken from the bandits' den. He also had a good temper and handed over all his property. Later, if someone in the village had not had a dispute with the official, a life was lost in the fight between the two parties. Such a good-tempered person People will not choose to rebel.

Even the rebellion was caused by a group of people kneeling on the ground begging him.

This silly benevolence can make other forces feel at ease and be wary of him, and it can also make some nearby refugees who can't survive, holding the dead horse as a living horse, want to seek refuge with the doctor.

Ever since Lin Shiheng proclaimed himself the city lord, Zhou Cheng's daily life has been like this.

"City Lord, three hundred refugees have come to vote."

"City Lord, five hundred more people have arrived."

"City Lord, these more than a hundred refugees..."

Every time this time comes, Lin Shiheng will wear his simple coat and put on a serious and benevolent face.

"receive."

"receive."

"Take it all!"

He was like a greedy snake. He seemed to be nesting peacefully in the city, but he came to eat one person after another without even thinking about stopping.

For other forces, these hungry refugees who can't walk are of absolutely no use. First of all, these people have been hungry for so long and are all skin and bones. They can't even pick up weapons. What's the use of taking them? Are you keeping it in vain?

Secondly, there are not only men among the refugees, but there are also children and the elderly who can’t help with anything but just eating, and women who can’t be admitted to the military camp.

Where to place these people is a problem. Where to get food for them is also a problem. If we set a precedent by accepting them, how to deal with more and more refugees coming is also a problem.

But who made Lin Shiheng a kind-hearted city lord!

If one comes, he will accept one, if two come, he will accept a pair, in short, all comers will be accepted!

This situation made those forces laugh.

After all, he is from a peasant family, so he doesn’t know why once a pioneer is started, there is no way to block it.

Once the news spreads that Zhoucheng is accepting refugees, more and more refugees who cannot carry a knife will come. By then, what can a small city like Zhoucheng have to accommodate them, and how will they be fed? Full of food?

Without enough to eat and no place to live, who knows if these hungry and dizzy refugees will form a group to cause trouble.

After Mo Shenke learned about this incident, he returned to the camp and exchanged a few words with his subordinates in a sarcastic manner. Then he treated the incident as a fresh joke and told it to Murong Xiao, the general's daughter.

Murong Xiaohua is as young as a flower and has a beautiful appearance. Just because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child and personally led the troops after the world was in chaos, her eyebrows have a bit of a sharp look.

Although she is a woman, her ability to lead troops is definitely no less than that of a man. She is even much better than most people, and she can always see new insights when looking at the situation.

Murong Xiao's father had regretted it more than once. If Murong Xiao was a man and rebelled against the imperial court, he would never have found a new master and instead would have established himself as king.

She was relatively free and easy, saying that as long as she had the ability, she could still have a good future with the new master, so there was no need to fight against all the rebels.

After all, with their situation at that time, if they were to establish themselves as kings, they would definitely become the target of public criticism.

Because the third prince acted as a matchmaker, she and Mo Shenke were already engaged, and they were only waiting for her to get married after she turned twenty.

Murong Xiao had a good impression of Mo Shenke before. Although he was an illegitimate son, he had the talent to lead troops, and besides the favor of his father, the third prince, he had no other influence. When the two parties got married, her Murong family would be Mo Shenke. Ke's only support, the more cruel his other brothers became, the more Mo Shenke wanted to be tied to the Murong family boat.

In terms of appearance, he is handsome, and in terms of temperament, he has always been easy to talk to her. Although he is a little rude to those brothers, he is understandable. In terms of talent, although he does not like reading very much, he is still marching and fighting. He has his own talent, and he often wins nine out of ten battles. Compared with the old emperor whose half body was buried in the ground, Mo Shenke is indeed a good husband candidate.

But today, when listening to Mo Shenke mentioning the fact that all comers from Zhoucheng were mentioned with contempt, Murong Xiao frowned unnoticeably.

She suggested: "If Zhoucheng continues to take in refugees like this, based on the current number of refugees, I am afraid that the number will increase dramatically soon."

Mo Shenke did not take her words seriously, but waved his hand and said with contempt and indifference: "Zhou City is small, and the people in the city never go out to fight, and there is no income of rice and grain. No matter how many refugees we take in, There are too many, there is no place to shelter them, and there is no food supply. The best outcome is to close the door and stop taking in the refugees. If we go by the worst-case scenario, there will be a lot of violence. "

Murong Xiao was still uneasy, so she said a few more words, but Mo Shenke said that she was thinking too much, and her words suggested that she was too sensitive as a woman.

This can be regarded as stepping on Murong Xiao's minefield.

She has been smart since she was a child, but she has always been restricted because of her daughter's body. From childhood to adulthood, apart from what her father said, the thing she couldn't hear the most was someone saying, "It's a pity she's a woman." "Is she a woman, or is she different from a man?" "Something like that.

Although she had a good impression of Mo Shenke before, this sentence made her immediately lose interest in talking to her fiancé again.

Reluctantly hiding her displeasure, she said goodbye and returned to her tent.

That night, I raised the matter with my father.

General Murong has been fighting for many years and is not as arrogant as Mo Shenke, and he is also a little worried.

After all, the story of how the city lord of Zhou City led some villagers to set up formations in the canyon to capture the bandits has long been reported online. Anyone who can come up with such an idea does not seem to have the temperament to blindly take in refugees. .

The next day, he raised his concerns to the Third Prince, saying that Zhou Cheng was recruiting people like this, and over time, he might be able to have many more people under his command.

The third prince did not take this matter to heart.

"General Murong is overly worried. The city of Zhou has always been huddled in its own city. The spies I sent reported that although there are soldiers and generals in Zhou City, they only practice for a few hours every day, and most of the rest of the time they are like farmers. Farming and raising poultry every day, even if there are tens of thousands of them, they are not a threat. "

General Murong wanted to say more, but the third prince did not want to waste time and energy on this small Zhoucheng. He stopped his topic and began to express that he wanted to continue to expand and hoped that his general could lead the army. Combat.

It's not like he didn't arrange for General Murong to fight here and there before, but today, after he mentioned that he was worried about his lord but ignored it and only thought about letting him go fight everywhere, General Murong felt unhappy in his heart.

I assist you conscientiously and think about you with all my heart and eyes, but you only regard me as a tool for conquests and do not consider my thoughts at all.

They are said to be in-laws, but who doesn't know that the marriage is only for the soldiers under his command, who are fighting this or that every day. If they die on the battlefield, their daughter and their subordinates will definitely belong to someone else.

But no matter how unhappy he felt, General Murong still had to clasp his fists and kneel down on one knee, saying, "My lord, tell me who we will hit this time. I will definitely honor my life and beat him until he cries."

After the two sides exchanged battle plans, General Murong's face darkened as soon as he returned to his tent.

"Go and call the lady over and tell her that I have something to discuss with her."

The strategy and force displayed by the Lord of Zhou City when he rebelled put a lot of pressure on this ever-victorious general. If the third prince continued to ignore Zhou Cheng and thought he was not afraid, he felt that it was necessary for him to consider marrying his daughter. There is no way out.

Lin Shiheng, who was far away in Zhoucheng, didn't know that General Murong was disloyal to the third prince, but he still maintained his good intentions to recruit refugees.

After taking in the refugees, he would not do anything that would make other camps wary. Instead, he would first raise these refugees who could not walk in tents, distribute free food every day, and send doctors to see doctors.

Not long after, the city's food shortage was declared.

City Lord Lin was so worried that even his favorite walk on the street after meals was reduced to half an hour. He looked worried and sighed from time to time.

People who have stayed in Zhoucheng for a long time all know that the city lord likes to go out for a walk after eating. This is also the time when everyone gathers to watch the city lord, and most of them send vegetables, flowers and love.

He was not afraid of assassination. After all, not to mention that Zhou City was not within the attack range of other forces, just assassinating Lin Shiheng would not do any good.

It is true that he is the city lord, but all the affairs in the city are handled by Lin Laoer. Training of troops is done by Lin Laosan. As for dealing with some appointed officials in the city, that is Lin Laosi's job.

Zhou City can still function without Lin Shiheng. Killing Lin Shiheng will do no good to any force. After all, everyone knows that he is indecisive, the worst person to endure hardship, and has a tortoise temper.

As long as Lin Shiheng was alive, Zhoucheng would be a paradise.

Lin Shiheng is dead, and his three young sons will not be as kind as their father.

Therefore, Lord Lin’s activity of digesting food after meals has continued to this day.

Tonight, after wandering around half of the city to make sure that all the onlookers saw him frowning and sighing, the kind-hearted city lord returned to the government office.

"It's the third day, that's about it. Fourth child, you go make arrangements."

In the past few months, he has been in a high position and dealt with many officials. Lin Laosi has changed from his former self. He is now wearing a smart military uniform and looking at his father with admiration.

Lin Laoer and Lin Laosan on the side watched their younger brother go out and looked at their father with some uncertainty: "Dad, what's the use of spreading rumors to those refugees? We are now ordering the construction of a new city, otherwise they will still have to work."

Yes, Lin Shiheng plans to build a new city.

It was built next to Zhou City. Anyway, Zhou City was surrounded by villages that had long been deserted. Even if he built it five thousand miles away, it would be more than enough.

"You guys are still too young."

Lin Shiheng held his own big cup and lowered his head to take a sip, with a kind face: "If I give a person ten steamed buns every day for more than a month, until he gets used to it, and then suddenly changes to one steamed bun, and If I need him to do some work in exchange, he will definitely hate me."

"But if I give a person ten burles every day, nine on the second day, eight on the third, and so on, until the end, I tell him that in order to feed him, I have no burles myself. After eating the steamed buns, it was very likely that he would be kicked out. Just when he didn’t know what to do and fell into despair and was about to starve to death, I stood up and told him that I decided to let him do the work despite the pressure, so that he could work every day. Give him a steamed bun, what do you think he will do?"

Lin Laoer suddenly realized, "If the latter does this, these refugees have received favors from Dad before and are already grateful to Dad. When Dad puts pressure on them to work in exchange for rice, they will also be grateful with all their hearts." father."

"My son understands what dad means. This is indeed what should be done."

Seeing his eldest brother speaking with bright eyes and looking at his father with admiration, Lin Laosan was confused and confused. He likes to practice martial arts. Compared with the two gentlemen who have been hired by his father to supervise him since he had the conditions. Following his brothers who studied hard, he preferred to train those soldiers according to the methods given by his father.

It's like if a password box is placed in front of the three brothers, Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao Si will rack their brains to crack it according to the clues given, but Lin Lao San will cut the entire box directly with a sword.

It can be regarded as a brave but unintelligent sentence, but fortunately he knows that he has no brains, so he chooses to listen to his brother and father most of the time and basically does not think for himself.

"I don't understand any of this. If my father has any other instructions that his son needs to carry out, I will definitely carry them out beautifully."

Lin Shiheng looked lovingly at this stupidest child and said, "Get ready. These refugees have already cultivated themselves. After a while, they will be recruited from among them. How will they be turned from refugees into soldiers of our Zhou city?" General, it’s up to you.”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Laosan immediately made his chest stronger and stronger: "Dad, don't worry, my son will definitely train them from little chickens to big wild boars!"

He couldn't wait to leave and prepare to welcome his new recruits.

Lin Laoer was left to talk.

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

Lin Shiheng was good at tempting: "Second brother, you have to remember that the world is uncertain now and the people are suffering a lot. What they want is a benevolent king who treats the people like his own children."

Lin Laoer had already vaguely felt that his father wanted to train him to be the heir, and he immediately raised his chest and raised his head, "Don't worry, dad, my son will definitely put the people first in everything!"

Then he got a bang.

"Why are you stupider than your fourth brother?"

Lin Shiheng had a toothache on his face, "I really don't know how I gave birth to you three stupid sons, and I still don't understand after being taught for so long."

"The people want a benevolent king. All you have to do is show them how to be a benevolent king."

"If dad is really like what the outside world says, and is so kind that he would pick up any kittens or puppies and keep them in the city, our Zhoucheng would have been doomed long ago."

Lin Laoer, who has always felt that his father is kind, he should be equally kind:...

"I still don't count on you anymore. Let your son come over and I will teach him personally."

Lin Laoer stroked the frustrated self-esteem in his eyes, "Dad... I'm actually not that..."

Thinking carefully about the self that only knew how to work hard in the first half of his life, he swallowed the rest of his words wisely.

Okay, it does seem stupid.

"Does dad want the next generation of children to be his heirs? I think the eldest son of my second brother's family is good, he has a calm temperament, and he is also very smart..."

Lin Shiheng looked at him as if he were a fool: "How can a son sit on the throne, but my father is just a prince? Naturally, the father should come first before the son."

Lin Laoer understood the meaning.

This means that dad still belongs to him, right?

His ears immediately perked up and his eyes were full of light, "Dad, my son will definitely live up to your trust!"

"It doesn't matter, just live well. If we conquer the world, you can sit on it first and hand it over to your son when he is old."

Lin Laoer, who had just been happy for less than three seconds: "...Dad, didn't you say last time that I was the one most like you?"

"I guess so."

Lin Shiheng took another sip of water and waved his hand carelessly.

"I mean, of the three of you brothers, you're the least obviously stupid."

Lin Laoer: "..."

No, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, there are still two younger brothers at the bottom.

***

The largest second-generation officials in Zhoucheng are the three brothers of the Lin family.

But no matter how high their status is, they still have their original simple temperament.

Among them, the blows that my biological father would visit every day played a major role.

But it has to be said that it is precisely because of this simple peasant temperament that even though he is in a high position, the refugees in the city who are ordinary people have a sense of belonging to Zhoucheng.

The people who settled in Zhou City before the refugees were star-struck towards the city lord who protected them and his three sons. Of course, a large part of this was because Lin Laosi and his ancient navy team hid themselves among the masses. blow.

At the end of the performance, they were no longer needed. The common people themselves had evolved into Lin Chui.

And the blows were even more fierce and ruthless, almost describing the kind-hearted city lord Lin Shiheng as a god who sent the world to fall.

After the refugees were resettled, there was no restriction on their movement. Because the food provided by the government was getting less and less, many refugees walked out of their tents and started looking for work, and then they faced Lin Chuichui all over the city.

City Lord is good, City Lord is very good.

You are enjoying happiness when you come to our city. Let me tell you, I was actually a refugee before. Look at me now. Look at my clothes, the food I eat, and my rosy face. After all, Then you will know how much better my life is under the glory of the city lord.

It's a pity that the city lord opened a warehouse to store grain in order to be able to take care of you. Now it seems that it can no longer be maintained. We are all worried, eh.

If you are kicked out, don't blame the city lord. He has done his best to be able to raise you for such a long time and distribute medicines for free.

He is a very kind person, like a god descending from the earth.

Lin Laosi led the navy team among the people and followed a group of people to play. After playing for two days, it was estimated that it was almost done. Lin Shiheng announced that Zhoucheng could not afford to support the refugees, but he was unwilling to drive them out to live. He was willing to die, so he began to levy the people who built the new city and provide food, food and housing on a first-come, first-served basis.

Before this group of refugees, who were thinking "The city lord is very good and the city is very good, don't regret it for the rest of your life", Lin Laosi had already commanded the navy team with a look of "Such a good opportunity is not worth it". "You'd be an idiot if you try to seize the opportunity early." He sprinted forward to sign up.

People have a herd mentality. To put it simply, the things everyone grabs must be good things. Some refugees did not hesitate anymore and quickly followed suit. Lin Laosan took advantage of every opportunity to lead the people. He also set up a sign next to it, indicating that he was recruiting troops here, and he would be provided with food, shelter, clothing, and monthly silver.

With so many people supported in Zhoucheng, the monthly money must be relatively small, but compared with the Jianshe Xincheng next door that only provides food and accommodation, the monthly money is a surprise.

Immediately, the queues on both sides were long.

A group of homeless people who were regarded as dangerous by many in power took in homeless people who were absolutely worth the loss. They were swallowed up by Zhou Cheng without even a hiccup.

While other forces were fighting in full swing, Zhou City was also racing against time to build a new city. Zhou City had many spies, and they had a very thorough understanding of what happened this time.

It's just that the lord of Zhou City was kind enough to take in a group of refugees. As a result, they had no place to live and no food to eat, so they had to start building a new city.

You can build whatever you want, but when the world is settled, no matter how well built or how big the new city is, it will still belong to the new owner.

Almost every rebel group felt that they were the new master. When Zhoucheng was in short supply of food, when they wrote to borrow food, they all had the feeling of "this is my future city" and borrowed some food and grass.

The construction of Zhou City is progressing very quickly. While the construction is going on, fields are being cultivated in the city. Among the soldiers, the people, and the prisoners who have been facing the loess every day since they were captured, their backs are turned to the sky. With hard work, the old food is used up, and new food is constantly being built.

The reputation of the Lord of Zhou City for his benevolence spread throughout the world, and more and more refugees came to seek refuge with him, and Zhou City also welcomed all comers.

Lin Shiheng developed a new skill: crying about poverty.

He not only cried to the people and the world, he also cried to the rebel groups.

Basically, I used to write letters to express shamelessly that there are more and more people in the city, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled and cannot work. The city really can't afford to support them now, otherwise you can give me some charity. ?

At first, the rebel groups were willing to show their kindness. After all, Zhoucheng was famous for not participating in the fight for the world, but working conscientiously to feed the people of the world. They gave them food because they wanted to win the hearts of the people.

But as time passed, several rebel groups stopped working.

I was short of food during the rebellion, so why should I give it to you?

And this guy is too shameless. It was fine to be fooled at first, but later I found out that City Lord Lin actually sent multiple letters to him. Except for the imperial court, all the rebel forces received the begging. letter, and at the beginning, everyone actually gave him a batch of food.

If everyone hadn't been fighting in full swing and couldn't move their hands, maybe there would really be a violent rebel group coming to settle accounts with Zhou Cheng.

City Lord Lin wrote several letters, but either received no response, or got one saying that we also want to express our love, but we are really powerless. If not, if you join us and become one of our own, you will of course be treated with love.

As a result, the people of Zhoucheng began to drive around with the city lord sighing.

His face, which was getting younger and younger, became increasingly gloomy day by day, and soon all the spies in the city knew that there was no food in Zhoucheng.

A Zhoucheng who feeds so many people and doesn't go out to fight for food, what will he choose to do after he runs out of food?

The third prince who was close to Zhou Cheng was the first to be wary, secretly guarding that Zhou Cheng, who was out of food, would choose to attack him.

Although I don’t think that the Lord of Zhou City, who spends his days tinkering with building a new city and farming, would have the guts to do anything, he still jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention that he was still a human being.

As a result, while he was on guard here, Zhou Cheng sent people to deliver several cartloads of weapons.

When I opened the letter, I saw that it was indeed written by Lin Baozhi from Zhoucheng.

Yes, Baozhi is the cousin of City Lord Lin. It is said that he has been a person without a cousin for more than 40 years. As soon as he became the city lord, he asked a gentleman to get a cousin for him. He even exchanged letters and communicated with people. The introduction is also all about appearance.

Naturally, the Third Prince didn't know that City Lord Lin was trying to prevent the illegitimate son he recognized from becoming murderous when he heard his name. Instead, with a mentality of "I want to see what new begging method you have this time," he started Read this letter.

Lin Baozhi is a weirdo, which is recognized by all rebel groups.

But now, this strange person who had failed in begging actually made a n-u, saying that he would exchange food with the third prince.

The third prince, who was ready to watch the strange things, stood up suddenly with the letter in his hand.

Even n-u!

Looking at the short line "can be fired continuously" above, his heart beat like thunder.

He has grown up and been in the army for so long, but he has never heard of such a magical object. Although it is written that because arrow fletching cannot be installed, if it is an iron arrow, it cannot be shot at a long distance. .

Think about it, during a battle, the opponent shoots one arrow, and they shoot ten. Although it costs a little, these arrows can be recovered after the battlefield is over!

If such a good thing is used in the military...

Before he finished reading, the Third Prince tightened the letter in his hand. If Lian N-U's technology was truly true, Zhou Cheng, who had mastered this technology, must be his bag!

He should immediately send troops to knock down Zhou City, which he had never even seen before!

Even though he was very excited, the third prince still calmed down a little and reopened the letter and almost read down.

At this sight, the excited and beating heart immediately stopped beating.

Lin Baozhi actually sent people to send company n-u to other rebel groups at the same time, and also made it clear that Huaibi was guilty. If he was attacked by any party in Zhoucheng and wanted to be rescued, Zhoucheng would definitely give everything he had with both hands.

If it is attacked and no one rescues it, Zhoucheng will immediately surrender to the attacking side.

Now that the rebel groups know that such things are in Zhoucheng, they will definitely not let Zhoucheng fall into the hands of the enemy.

If someone comes to attack, the other two will definitely come to the rescue.

It’s impossible without rescue! Zhou Cheng surrendered without anyone to rescue him. Wouldn't that be even more powerful?

All in all, the three parties restrained each other, and no one could move Zhou City.

This is simply...

simply……

The third prince's passion for "hurrying up and picking up weapons before the opponent notices" was like being poured down by a basin of cold water, completely wiped out.

"Cunning old thief!!"

I couldn't help but curse angrily. After I finished cursing, I still had to arrange for people to exchange food and grass for weapons.

You know, the other two cities must buy it. If they buy it but he doesn't, isn't he waiting to be beaten?

Not only buy, but also buy more, preferably the more the better.
