Chapter 884: Reverse

The powerful and influential people present knew that some things could not be solved purely by force.

Zhong Zhong Shengquan nodded: "If you have no objections, I will reject He He Lingchuan's request."

The door of the Gange Hall was pushed open, and General Hong walked in with big strides in dark red light armor.

She had just returned from the battlefield, and there was a fierce spirit between her actions.

Zhong Zhong Shengquan asked her: "How is the battle situation at Xuehe?"

"Baling launched twice, and both were blocked by me. But there is little rain in autumn and winter, and the water level drops, so they will definitely try to cross the river again." General Hong sat down, fingers crossed under her chin, "There are many new monsters in the Baling army, all with some Taoist practice."

"Could it be sent by Between Beijia?" Zhao Zhao Xianhe was shocked, "This is not good. Between Beijia has never sent troops to intervene in the Panlong Wasteland before."

Between Beijia had calculated against Panlongcheng several times, all in secret, either manipulating Baling and Xianyou to attack the Panlong Wasteland, or using the Jin Du Ghost Mother and mutant monster insects to invade the Chipa Plateau.

Directly sending monster soldiers to participate in the Panlong Wasteland war, this was the first time, right?

The meaning behind this move is not good.

Perhaps it indicates that Between Beijia has lost patience with Panlongcheng?

"Wait until we capture a few heads, then ask in detail." General Hong wore a mask, but everyone still felt her gaze sweep across their faces, "What are you discussing?"

Zhong Zhong Shengquan then told the topic.

General Hong picked up the urgent report from the table and glanced at it: "Interesting. If it's just to divide the bandit gangs and isolate Fushan Lie, there's no need to curry favor with the water bandits like this. Send people to negotiate, and appease the bandit gangs. I think He He Lingchuan still has a backhand that hasn't been used."

General General Nanke was slightly surprised: "You support him?"

Zhong Zhong Shengquan was dumbfounded: "What backhand, it's not written in the urgent report."

"If you use it, trust it." General Hong said indifferently, "No more than 30,000 taels of silver a year, let him play."

"More than 30,000." Zhao Zhao Xianhe pointed out, "The repair and maintenance of the Longchuan trade route cannot be done by those water bandits alone, and Yuheng City will inevitably pay out of its own pocket. Besides, Yuheng City has been fighting with water bandits for several months, and both sides have long been enemies. Now Yuheng City suddenly curries favor with water bandits, how can the military and civilians be willing?"

"Public opinion can be channeled, Yuheng City's management has been good recently, and income has increased." General Hong said indifferently, "I don't see any problems."

Zhong Zhong Shengquan frowned: "But..."

The young man's plan was full of nonsense.

"Dealing with Between Beijia generals first, this is definitely not wrong. Drive the external forces out of Longchuan, and the bandit crowd will not be a major problem." General Hong threw the urgent report on the table, "Since Zhong Commander originally wanted to send Zhao Zhao Yinan to command Yuheng City, but temporarily changed to He He Lingchuan, wasn't it to test his talent? Now the opportunity has come, just observe it."

Zhong Zhong Shengquan pondered.

Zhao Zhao Xianhe was dissatisfied: "He He Lingchuan's request is fantastic, Zhong Commander wouldn't really be considering it, right? Using such a big event as an experiment, child's play!"

General General Nanke agreed: "In the past, we suppressed bandits in the Panlong Wasteland, which time was not clean and neat? Even if Between Beijia sent people to sneak into Longchuan to make trouble, it was just a team of people. If He He Lingchuan can't do it, I am willing to lead troops to Longchuan and wipe them out once and for all. Heh, why let Yuheng City play house with them?"

General Hong said indifferently: "If Panlongcheng takes down Jin Tao later, there are also bandits there, will you go too?"

General General Nanke said without hesitation: "Go."

"If someone rebels in the old Xiji capital at the same time, can you split your body to go and suppress the rebellion?"

"I can split the troops."

"What if the Panlong Wasteland northern line encounters Baling pressure at the same time?"

General General Nanke was unhappy: "General Hong, Panlongcheng is not short of good generals."

"Panlongcheng wants to expand outward, the most lacking is talents who can stand alone." General Hong hugged her arms and asked him, "Now even a small trouble in the old Xiji land requires Panlongcheng to send troops to suppress it. In the future, our territory will expand more and more, do you want Panlongcheng and the Great Wind Army to go everywhere to fight fires?"

Zhong Zhong Shengquan hesitated for a long time before saying: "I happen to be going to Yuheng City, I will go and listen to He He Lingchuan's explanation."

Seeing is believing, so it's better to decide.

The generals didn't say much. Like today's argument, once General Hong was present, the result almost had no suspense, sigh.

Longchuan, Xiji puppet army station.

This was originally the old nest of the Lu family gang. After the Xiji puppet army annexed it, Fushan Lie took a fancy to the complex terrain here.

This place is called Liang Lake, with seven lakes connected to each other, sparkling like pearls. The grass by the lake can reach a height of one foot, and people walk in and disappear.

The islands in the lake are the station, and the surrounding water monsters are the guards.

Fushan Lie was taking a nap after lunch when a trusted aide ran to the green bamboo cool couch and whispered: "General, intelligence."

Fushan Lie raised his eyelids: "Speak."

"The insider of the Qianjin Stronghold sent news that Tao Lin and Xu Xu Zeshou met privately with the Yuheng City Commander, and the other side opened an agreement to them."

"Commander? He He Lingchuan?" Fushan Lie opened his eyes, "What agreement?"

The trusted aide reported the content.

Fushan Lie sat up when he heard it: "Agreement reached?"

"Tao and Xu said they would go back and discuss it."

"Timid and ignorant." Fushan Lie said, "If it were me, I would agree on the spot."

"Yuheng City is afraid that I will collect all the people in Longchuan, so it wants to win over this bunch of useless things!" He pressed his temples, "If you don't give up the child, you can't catch the wolf, this He guy is really a character."

"According to the inside story from the north, Yuheng City doesn't like his strategy, thinking that currying favor with water bandits is superfluous, and squandering money, which is not in line with the consistent practice of the Panlongcheng army."

Fushan Lie was happy when he heard this: "That's a good piece of news. Since only he insists on it, just kill him!"

He guy is dead, Yuheng City's bandit suppression strategy is likely to return to the old path. His plan can continue.

This trusted aide followed from Between Beijia and was still a bit puzzled: "General, even if Panlongcheng takes down Xiji, it is still a small place. Why do you volunteer to deal with a surrendered city?"

General Fushan shone brightly in the battle of Yuanguo and was a late-coming young general in the Between Beijia general sequence. Where could he not make contributions, why did he choose here? A dignified Between Beijia general mixed in the water bandit den all day, wasn't it lowering his status? Even these subordinates had to eat dust on the Longchuan trade route all day.

Fushan Lie glanced at him, knowing exactly what he was thinking: "Following me to Longchuan, are you unhappy because you ate too much dust?"

"No, no!" The trusted aide quickly denied, "My life is yours, what's so great about eating some dust!"

"Places like Panlong Wasteland and Xiji are everywhere in the world, where is it worth Lingxu City looking at more?" Fushan Lie asked him, "Why does Lingxu City want to test Panlongcheng again and again?"

"The subordinate doesn't know."

"Many places here are not right." Fushan Lie reached out and pointed to the sky, "I heard that the gods worshipped by Panlongcheng are stirring up trouble in the sky, and the Holy Venerable of Lingxu is very unhappy; the army of Panlongcheng, the Great Wind Army, is also unexpectedly powerful."

The trusted aide immediately said: "No matter how powerful it is, it is not as good as our Between Beijia."

"Really, have you compared it?"

"No, no. But..." Between Beijia's national strength and military strength dominate the world, with famous generals like clouds, what comparability does this small Panlongcheng have? Fushan Lie sneered: "Compared to Between Beijia, Panlong Wasteland is indeed a small place. But looking at the area and population, Panlongcheng's Yuan power is unusually powerful! This even attracted the attention of the gods. If they are allowed to sit and grow, it will be even harder to suppress in the future. Xiji and Longchuan are excellent entry points, Panlongcheng has just included this place, and its rule is not stable. If their hands and feet extending outward can be cut off, it may make Panlongcheng constantly lose blood."

He put his hands behind his head: "I came here, which is a wonderful move."

The trusted aide understood a little: "General is wise."

Fushan Lie yawned again: "You understand a P, get out."

More than a month later, Longchuan Qianjin Stronghold.

Gang Leader Tao Lin woke up from his nap, stretching as he walked.

Since signing the agreement with He He Lingchuan and being hired by Yuheng City, the largest bandit gang in Longchuan, the Qianjin Stronghold, hung up the waist token and ate the official's rice, steadily collecting road tax for dozens of days.

Passing caravans saw these water bandits standing in the checkpoint holding tokens to collect fees, and their eyes almost fell out in shock. If the Yuheng garrison wasn't on the side, they would have turned around and run.

He guy was right, collecting money like this is really comfortable, no need to show weapons at all, people will smile and hand over silver with both hands willingly.

Collecting money with an official identity is justified.

After the Qianjin Stronghold and the Qiu Hua Gang signed the agreement, they announced to Longchuan, asking other bandit gangs to stay away from the road sections they collected fees from, and don't come to make trouble.

So many days passed, only the Xiji puppet army didn't give face, robbed the road twice, once succeeded, and the other time was blocked by the Qianjin Stronghold and the Yuheng City garrison, beaten until blood flowed.

But overall, guarding the road is more cost-effective than robbing the road, and the pension for guarding the road is also paid by Yuheng City.

How did He Commander's original words go?

Public injury report, which is public reimbursement.

Qianjin Stronghold and Qiu Hua Gang did this, other small bandit gangs had no way to survive, and they all surrendered to Yuheng City one after another.

However, Tao Lin always felt that the atmosphere in the stronghold today was a bit strange, many people gathered together and whispered, but stopped talking when they saw him, their eyes flickering.

Even when he went to pee, there were always a few eyes following him, making him very uncomfortable.

Tao Lin finally couldn't bear it, and pointed at the crowd: "Speak! What exactly is going on, staring at me with thief eyes! What's wrong, no work recently, suffocated you?"

His prestige in the stronghold was not low, everyone looked at each other, no one wanted to be the first bird.

Finally, someone pushed the lame man in front of the door: "Liu Lame, you saw it, you go!"

The lame man's leg was broken when robbing three years ago, and later he couldn't ride a horse, so he could only stay in the stronghold to be a horseman, forking grass and cleaning horse manure all day.

Tao Lin's eyes narrowed: "Come here! What did you see?"
