"This is natural, please take good care of it."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Si Dihu looked like he was taking care of everything. "Tomorrow I will go to the school grounds in person to see you off."

"Yes, thank you for holding the plate."

The next day, on the school grounds, the north wind was howling and flags were flying.

Sitting on the ground, the tiger looked at the soldiers of the forward battalion below who were obviously different from his own army and was a little unsure. He secretly wondered if I had misjudged Pei Xiaoer? Maybe he is the biggest challenge.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"Brothers, there are many Zhuangzi in the south of Wenxi. There is food there, there is money there, and there are women there. Knock down all those Zhuangzi, and they are all yours." The Sitting Tiger knows very well what these bandits want, so

Speak straight to the point.

"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!!!" The roar was deafening.

Si Dihu didn't stay much and went back directly after mobilization.

Liu Guozhong is still dilly-dallying, asking for troops at one time and food at the other. He probably has come to his senses and wants to miss this attack. The sitting tiger needs to be shocked.

In fact, there are not many Zhuangzi in the south of Wenxi County. Wenxi County is located in the south. Less than a hundred miles south of Wenxi County is Xia County. There is only one Zhuangzi between Wenxi and Xia County called Guojiazhuang. The purpose of Pei Xiaoer's trip is

One is Guojiazhuang.

At this moment, almost all the officers and soldiers are in Taiyuan in the north and Zezhou in the east. This is good news for Si Dihu, who has occupied Wenxi and is the king.

Pei Xiaoer, who leads an army of about 1,500 people, feels quite good. No wonder they say that power is the best thing, it can make people want to die.

Standing on a high ground, Pei Xiaoer narrowed his eyes and looked at Guojiazhuang.

As the name of Guojiazhuang suggests, most people in the area have the surname Guo. Zhuangzi is not very high, and there are some tenants in ragged clothes guarding it. Because it is close to the Sushui River, there is even a moat around Zhuangzi, but due to drought, the water

not many.

Zhuangzi in the north are all similar. Most of the land around Zhuangzi belongs to the gentry who occupy this Zhuangzi.

Some Zhuangzi squires are kind-hearted, and the lives of the tenants around them who are dependent on the squire will be better, such as Pei Zhiyuan of Peijiazhuang, and even yeoman farmers.

If the squire of Zhuangzi did too many evil things, then the tenants who depended on him would live an extremely miserable life, such as the Guojiazhuang in front of us.

Not far from Zhuangzi, there were some villages where tenant farmers lived. Pei Xiaoer could even see the shadows of people passing through from time to time.

Pei Xiaoer was a little confused. He waved to Liu Changle and ordered: "Take your people to a few nearby villages and tell us that we are recruiting people to fill the moat. Those who can come are regardless of gender, old or young, and everyone

Ten coppers a day and a pound of food. Remember, it’s all voluntary and don’t force them. Do you understand?”

"I obey." Although Liu Changle didn't understand why he was so polite, he could just coerce them and let them fill the moat without spending any money. However, he didn't object and just accepted the order and left.

The rest of the people set up camp on the spot and will wait until tomorrow.

On the wall of the village, Mr. Guo is also checking the enemy's situation. But unlike Mr. Pei Zhiyuan of Peijiazhuang, this Mr. Guo is a high-ranking official. A higher fame certainly means a higher IQ, at least in terms of expanding the family property.

That's right.

In the past few years, under the leadership of Mr. Guo, the Guo family has been prospering. There are more fields every day, and the loan shark business is becoming more and more prosperous. Especially in recent years, there have been severe droughts every year. In previous years, some homesteaders with poor conditions have also become more and more prosperous.

I can't bear it anymore.

They all thought that Mr. Guo borrowed a loan shark at a high interest rate. Now it’s always been one out, two in and thirty days out, and you still won’t be able to pay it back by then? Sure, then your land, your wife, your children, and even yourself

All can be used to pay off debts. Women can use it themselves, and sell it to brothels if it is not used up. Men can work for free. Isn’t this a beautiful life?

It's a pity that yesterday, this group of bandits suddenly came from the north and made everyone panic. Mr. Guo walked up to the village wall and looked around, and saw a thousand strong men walking to the front of the village menacingly. Without saying much, he went straight to set up camp.

, secretly saying that this group of bandits don’t seem to be easy to mess with.

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Guo called the housekeeper and whispered something in his ear. After a while, he saw the village gate open and a car full of wine, meat and food coming towards Pei Xiaoer's camp.

In the camp, Pei Xiaoer looked at the flattering Butler Guo with some amusement. "You said you want to send me away with these five hundred stones of food and one hundred taels of silver?"

"Master, this is a deposit. As long as you can leave my village, I will also give you five hundred shi of food and five thousand taels of silver." Butler Guo was a little arrogant.

The bandits have come several times in the past, and each time they were sent away with only 500 shi of food. This time, because you are still able to fight, I gave you double the amount. What else are you dissatisfied with? You are really greedy.

Even if a snake swallows an elephant, it won't be afraid of choking to death.

"Besides, you can't say that when you're in charge of the plate. My husband also saw that your army came here after all the hard work, and he wanted to help you. If there is a fight, we don't know who will win." Guo Guojia straightened up and looked very imposing.

He looked threatening.

"That's what I say, but there is something wrong with me. I don't like to eat food that comes from outside, so let's see the real deal." Seeing his look, Pei Xiaoer almost laughed out loud.

"In that case, let's make signs and say goodbye." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned around.

When Pei Xiaosan saw this at the door, he was about to step forward to stop him. Pei Xiaoer said, "Let him go. I want to see how tough this Guojiazhuang is."

Early the next morning, Pei Xiaoer felt a bit of toothache when he looked at the few crooked melons and cracked dates that Liu Changle had found. Most of them were old men who could be Pei Xiaoer's grandfather at a certain age. The strongest one was probably the one who looked like

A woman around forty years old.

Liu Changle stood nearby with an innocent look on his face. He thought it would be better to force them to come out to work with a knife, and they had to pay for it. Not to mention the money, not many people came.

Don’t think too much about it, just come here anyway. The first day is originally a test, so just use this number of people.

"Today's task is very simple. Throw these 100 bags of soil into the moat and it's over. After the completion, you will pay directly, one payment per day. Do you understand?" Pei Xiaoer stood in the middle of the crowd and issued the task to these people.

Everyone was a little skeptical, could it be so simple? Why did it feel so unreliable?

An old man said tremblingly: "General, just throw these bags into the moat? No need to do anything else?"

"Yes, I will never follow up on my words. I will do whatever I say. I will pay you wages once a day and will never be in arrears. Do you understand me?"
