Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The logistics received this news and immediately went to Zhao Guogong. The 2,000 people brought by Niu Shishi were already self-sufficient, but Xue Gui still asked him for food and grass every day.

Zhao Guogong went to the official document to ask Xue Gui, and after receiving a reply, he sent a letter to Xue Gui, "It can be used by large households."

He also sent a letter to Niu Shishi, "You must not rip off the people. Your Majesty is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and you must leave goodwill for future generations."

Zhao Guogong told the emperor about this, and pouted: "Goguryeo is literally killing the chickens to get the eggs. The grain and grass have been collected three times around the inner city, leaving the people with nothing to rely on, not to mention the farther places. Even without us, I'm afraid I can support it. in a few years."

He added: "Xue Gui is young and inexperienced, not as old as Niu Shishi."

The emperor nodded and commented: "The Bull Thorn can govern the place and lead the army to fight. Xue Gui is a fierce general."

The emperor moved in his heart and asked, "Brother, how do you think Niu Shishi is the governor of the Anton Protectorate?"

Zhao Guogong thought for a while and said: "It's feasible, but...will it rise too fast?"

The emperor smiled indifferently and said: "He is a bull's knife, why should he use it to kill chickens? Besides, it is not too early to be promoted to governor based on his qualifications, but he is from a poor family and no one recommends it."

If it weren't for this Eastern Expedition, he wouldn't have known that there were so many outstanding people hidden in the borderlands.

Xue Gui counted as one, and Niu Shishi naturally counted as one.

If it weren't for the internal strife between Silla and Baekje, he might not have needed him to go on a personal expedition, and Niu Shishi would have quietly captured Liaodong.

Zhao Guogong no longer had any opinions, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about this topic anymore.

Xue Gui got the guidance of Zhao Guogong, and finally knew how to collect food and grass without causing too much public resentment, so he took the soldiers to two small cities, first with the officials in the city, and then with some big families. Grain shop, etc.

For a time, wealthy businessmen and some landlord families suffered heavy losses, and many people cried and went to the inner city.

Niu Shishi should be more gentle. After occupying the city, he directly took over the warehouse in the city. Well, it was basically an empty warehouse. Then he went to sit at the official's house. After collecting a few cartons of grain, he went to another house to sit for a while. sit.

Some people are stingy, even though they have a lot of grain in their homes, but they are not willing to take out a grain of food. Instead, they propose to take Jin troops to the countryside to collect them from their tenants' homes.

Niu Shishi sneered again and again, Goguryeo looted everything that could be looted, and if he went to collect it from ordinary people, wouldn't he take the initiative to bear their grievances?

And what else could they find?

When confronted with such stubbornness and unconsciousness, Niu Shishi did not use force, and directly took the soldiers to his house for dinner.

He took 2,000 people, 500 people to another place to collect the villages and towns along the way, the other 500 people to another place, and the remaining 1,000 people he took to dinner, and the other party was honest after two meals. .

In the end, he was content and left with four or five carts of grain.

His lieutenant's stomach became round after eating, and smiled: "Sir, they are too soft to take it, and it will be good for them to be stubborn for two days."

They can only eat 70% full when they eat by themselves, no better than being a guest. Since they are guests, even if the dishes are less, they must have enough food, right?

These two meals were the best they had eaten since their expedition.

He no longer envied those in the camp eating horse meat.

In the battle of the siege two days ago, three of their war horses died, and seven of the enemy's army died, all of which were skinned and eaten.

It's a pity that they went out to raid the next day and didn't have time to eat a piece of meat.

Now they are not envious at all.

There are more than 50,000 people, divided into ten horses, and everyone can eat a piece of minced meat. I'm afraid they can't even see a piece of meat. How can they be as good as they are now.

Bull Thorn History said: "This is a raid, do you know the raid? We have to hurry up, it's already the second day, it's cold now, everyone will rest in the city tonight, and continue tomorrow morning, at least one city a day. "

These cities have no resistance at all. Some small cities are not even 20 feet high. You can go up with a ladder. The speed of siege is very fast, and the slow is to collect food and grass.

Qi Bi He Li was seriously injured, and now Gao Zhi, Ashina, Xue Bei and the others took turns to call for a siege.

After the First World War, the people on the gate tower became a little arrogant, and they no longer scolded blindly, but retorted from time to time.

When Gao Zhi appeared, he mostly consoled him. At this moment, the people on the tower were not polite, and scolded Gao Zhi from top to bottom, from inside to outside, over and over again. They also announced the edict of the King of Goguryeo and removed Gao Zhi from the genealogy. Take it off, degrade it as a sinner...

Gao Zhi's face was very ugly.

Although he has been scolded in the past, he has never been scolded so hard, and there is no edict.

Zhao Guogong saw all this in his eyes, and said to the emperor: "This siege will be more difficult and effective, and the other party's resolve has become firm.

Bai Erlang stood drowsy and listened, a little distracted.

Bai Shan's injury has healed a lot. As long as he is free in the past two days, he will be called over to question him, ask about the situation of the two raiding troops, and also ask about the situation of the besieged city.

The key is that he is in charge of the logistics of medical bills. How does he know so much?

He could only look around at the emperor's side, listen to some news, and then tell him.

Alas, when did Bai Shan become so industrious, he was rarely injured and could rest, so why bother with these things?

Bai Erlang felt so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He gradually became distracted, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere. When he came back to his senses, he heard the emperor calling him.

He shivered and tried to open his eyes to see the emperor.

emperor:"……"

Gu Zhong carefully glanced at the emperor, and reminded Bai Erlang in a low voice: "Master Consort, Your Majesty asked you how to make people's hearts be defeated?"

Bai Erlang swallowed his saliva, his brain was full of mucus.

Both the emperor and Zhao Guogong looked at him.

The emperor was a little disgusted, his son-in-law was too unsatisfactory, and Zhao Guogong was also a little dissatisfied. How could a talent like Mingda be matched with a concubine like Bai Er?

The emperor turned his head to see it, and was dissatisfied. Although Bai Er was not witty and diligent enough, he was handsome, kind-hearted, and had a relationship with Mingda. The queen liked him very much. Why do you, being an uncle, despise him?

Bai Erlang thought hard, and finally found something relevant from his previous learning and memory, "Attack it with fear, and then accept it with benevolence and righteousness?"

The emperor opened his eyes and asked him directly, "Who said that?"

Bai Erlang didn't hide it, and said directly: "Mr. Zhuang said."

He said: "When we were studying, my husband asked a question, and he said at the time that to accept the people of a country, we must not only accept their territory, but also their hearts, convince them, change their customs, and agree with the principles of their own country. It's subjugation."

The emperor nodded approvingly, "Since Zhuang Shi said that he became a teacher for the prince, the prince has grown a lot."

See you tomorrow
