Back Off, Let Me Come

Sibao County and Shen Tang's team are indeed destined.

Yan Cheng, the former governor of Sibao County, was Qi Shan's mortal enemy. In the end, Shen Tang crushed his head and lost his life. Now this county guard has provoked Shen Tang again. With Shen Tang's character of holding grudges and protecting shortcomings, Qiu Cheng is destined to have a difficult end.

Chu Yao wasted five years here.

Kang Shi came here to join in the fun and met Shen Tang.

Here Shen Tang rapes the man Gu Chi.

The Gong family members of Gong Shuwu were sent here, but they died when Xiaocheng was attacked, and he became a loner.

Tu Rong’s grandparents and parents were buried here...

For everyone, the land of Sibao County carries too many unpleasant memories. What's even more ironic is that back then Xiaocheng fought desperately to defend the city, but now he issued a proclamation to send troops to attack the city... I have to say that fate knows black humor.

Shen Tang took another sip of hot soy milk.

He sighed: "Sibao County is also quite unlucky..."

In addition to Xiaocheng, the administrative center of Sibao County, there are four other counties. During the Taiping years, this place was famous for its rich production of four kinds of treasures. It also had convenient transportation and the people under its rule had enough food and clothing. Among the border counties, the life was relatively beautiful.

It's just that I'm so lucky that I can't even drink water without my teeth. Located between the two former kingdoms of Geng and Xin, Sibao County has experienced ups and downs...

First, he was defeated by Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses. Before he could take a breath, he was greeted by Yan Cheng, who was good at flattering and ruthless officials. He did everything he could to plunder the people's wealth, and the good governance was turned into a fireworks alley. Romance trade is prevalent, and population selling is rampant.

Later, King Pig led his troops to besiege the city and massacre it. The population of the city continued to decrease. The successor after Yan Cheng had no ability, and there was no doubt that Qiu Cheng would kill him. Perhaps it was a "bottom rebound". Qiu Cheng took office, and the people's lives were not so miserable.

I can finally take a breath.

This year there was another drought and the grain harvest was poor.

Today's common people are experiencing calamity while living.

Shen Tang sighed in her heart and caught a glimpse of Gu Chi giving her a wink. She had to pull back her wandering thoughts and looked at Chu Yao: "The one among us who is most familiar with Sibao County is Wu Hui. As you say Look, where will this battle begin?"

One more thing to add.

"In this battle, we can only win but not lose!"

She was determined to tear off Qiu Fumiyan's head and play it with a ball. If she didn't do it more cruelly, she would really think that she was a big bastard who only knew how to farm!

"Although I have good looks, I don't dare to be good at it." Chu Yao stepped out of the queue and cupped his hands, saying, "I would like to recommend someone."

He had stayed in Xiaocheng for many years, but due to his status and situation at that time, he lacked information. He is only a little more familiar with Sibao County than everyone else. If it is to be used on the battlefield, this little "understanding" is probably not enough, and there are people around them who can solve this problem.

Shen Tang asked: "Who is it?"

Chu Yao: "The former Sibao County garrison commander, Yang Gong."

Shen Tang almost didn't remember who this was.

"This person...well, he can indeed do it."

To a certain extent, Yang Gongdu can be regarded as the military map of Sibao County. As the leader who once commanded thousands of elite troops stationed in Sibao County, in the areas within the territory, where the defense is weak, where it is easy to attack, where it is possible to ambush...

He knew it all.

Some terrain maps, garrison positions, and military divisions are secret to the outside world and are never easily leaked. Outsiders risk being caught if they want to pry, but for Mr. Yang, these are all within easy reach. There is no difficulty.

"Then where is he now?"

Shen Tang knew that Mr. Yang was here.

In the early days of starting the business, when the military personnel were in urgent need of manpower, Yang Gong also helped take over a lot of military training work, patching things together, and barely managed to pull up the grassroots team. Later, when he entered Longwu County and received military support from Chu Jie, he was finally not so embarrassed.

But little was heard from him this year.

Chu Yao: "I am still responsible for the entry and exit of the salt warehouse."

In the past two years, the private salt trade in Longwu County has become the government's largest revenue source, and the Yantian District and Yanjing District continue to produce large amounts of high-quality refined salt every day. Not only did Shen Tang repay the huge loan owed by Xun Zhen, but he also saved a small budget for future wars. Government agencies also have money to invest in other infrastructure. Having tasted the benefits, you naturally know how profitable the private salt business is.

The person in charge of the salt warehouse was chosen carefully.

With a slap on the head, Shen Tang chose Yang Gong.

Firstly, he is a loner with no relatives or favors to encumber him; secondly, his character is incapable of enriching his own pockets, he is strict and serious in his work, and he has a violent temper that dares to vent his anger on anyone he sees; thirdly, in the military, Some of the middle-level people are either his former subordinates or the soldiers he brought out single-handedly, and the output of the salt warehouse is equivalent to the military pay of these people...

How could Mr. Yang be willing to let these soldiers go hungry?

Shen Tang said: "Okay, send someone to invite him quickly."

With a ready-made military map, there is no need to send scouts to lurk in Sibao County to find out the situation. They can marshal their troops and horses and pull them out.

When Mr. Yang was invited over, he was still confused.

I wonder what Shen Tang wants from him.

"I've met Mr. Shen."

He has lived a leisurely life in retirement in the past few years. The injuries caused by the battle at Xiaocheng, except for Wudandan Mansion, which was irreparably disabled, have long since been healed. He seems to be in good spirits, and his appearance is getting younger and younger with each passing day, and his brilliance is restrained. At first glance, he might have thought he was a wealthy and idle person, but only those with keen eyesight can see that the evil spirit around him is still there. This is a ruthless character!

Shen Tang got straight to the point and said bluntly: "I invite you here today for business. A while ago, Qiucheng of Sibao County sent troops to sneak attack Nanyu County, looted the local grain depot and killed many people. The autumn harvest has passed, and this account cannot be counted. I You will make the world laugh at you."

Even if I don’t tell you the rest, Mr. Yang also knows what it is.

He only hesitated for a moment.

Holding fists: "I am willing to do my best for Lord Shen."

He and Shen Tang have conflicts.

But that's all in the past.

Now times have changed, and he has been protected by Shen Tang for several years, and no wind or rain can touch him. Due to emotions and reasons, if the other party speaks, you should help. Yang Gong actively cooperated, which completely relieved Shen Tang's hanging heart and asked him to take a seat.

The map of the council hall has been changed to Sibao County.

Shen Tang saw that Yang Gong's eyes were always on the map and asked with a smile: "But what is wrong with the drawing of this map?"

Although the map looked crude, it was already the result of spending money and people. As soon as Yang Gong came, he saw many problems.

"There are definitely some issues."

Not only could Duke Yang point it out, he could also detail the directions of some mountains and rivers, and even mark points where troops might be stationed. Although the county guards are different, the locations of the military fortresses in the county were all selected and established after repeated deliberation, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, and will not be changed easily. I can't say that the information provided by Mr. Yang is 100% correct, but it can be 90% correct.

The more Shen Tang looked, the brighter his eyes became.

In the wars of this era, whoever takes the initiative in information has half the chance of winning.
