Chapter 98: Threats

(I check my lungs and brain every day. Today I checked my lungs and brain. As a long-time smoker, the lungs that I worry about the most were not found. However, my brain was found to have a cavernous hemangioma. Although the doctor said it was benign, my brain is still buzzing.

Oops, I’m going to do an enhanced version of MRI tomorrow. I hope it’s okay, but alas, something has already happened.)

Miao Shou is here.

The day after Luo Gang left Shentangbao with his caravan, Miao Shou, who had contracted typhoid fever, recovered without any medicine. Not only did he come, he also brought eight hundred civilians and a thousand Ding border troops with him.

"Aiya, Governor Miao, you are sick, how can you help yourself to send these people here in person?" Xiao Cheng greeted him with a smile on his face, clasping his fists with both hands, and bowing deeply to the ground.

"When I heard that Shentangbao was attacked, I was frightened and sweated profusely. I wish I had recovered from the illness." Miao Shou ignored the sarcasm in Xiao Cheng's words. Anyway, these scholars never used curse words when swearing.

of.

If you are sick, you will be sick, and if you are well, you will be fine. You are responsible for your own body.

"Some of the Hengshan natives are vulnerable!" Xiao Cheng waved his sleeves and said boldly: "As many as come, they will naturally die. Oh, that's not right, most of them were captured by us. Look at the commander, those with

The people who worked on the iron shackles were from the Weiming clan that came this time. We killed hundreds of people, and the remaining few hundred were working here as coolies. By the way, there was another one named Wei.

I heard that the man named Heda is very famous among the tribes in Hengshan, and now he is tied there, half dead, and there is no sign of any heroism at all!"

Miao Shou glanced at Weiming Heda on the top of the fort. At this moment, Weiming Heda was also looking up at him.

Lowering his head, Miao Shou looked at the large burned land in the distance and asked, "Is this the place where Chongwen is planning to farm?"

"This is just one of the places!" Xiao Cheng said: "There are tens of thousands of people in our Guangrui Army. How can we all live well on this small amount of land? But we have to eat one bite at a time.

You have to drink water one sip at a time!"

"The Shentang Fort is too small!" Miao Shou said.

"If we say that this fortress is indeed a bit small, the entire Shentang Fort area is not small. Moreover, I have been running around in the surrounding areas in the past two days, and the place is quite good." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Now I

I am collecting wood, stones and other materials, and now the civilians have some of them, so next, I am going to expand the Shentang Fort."

"Expansion?" Miao Shou was surprised.

"Yes, expansion!" Xiao Cheng nodded: "Before I came here, my brother told me that Shentang Fort must be built like Tianmen Village. Miao Commandery may not know that Tianmen Village is said to be a military village, but in fact

It is a city. But since my brother has spoken, I, as the younger brother, will naturally find a way to satisfy him."

"Is it possible that this expense has to come from Dingbian Town?" Miao Shou asked.

Xiao Cheng laughed: "Miao Commander, when my brother comes, the Dingbian Army and the Guangrui Army will all belong to the army stationed in Dingbian City."

Miao Shou's face turned dark.

Xiao Ding is a commander personally promoted by the officials. When he comes to Dingbian City, his Dingbian Army will undoubtedly fall under the command of Xiao Ding. The previous free and unrestrained days may have to come to an end.

"However, my eldest brother also knows that the military expenditure in Dingbian City is always insufficient, so when it comes to building the city, we don't even think about taking food from our brothers' mouths. We have our own way of getting this money."

"I wonder where this much money came from?" Miao Shou asked dully.

"The officials gave a part of it. When they left Hebei, the capital of Xia said they wanted to thank my brother for his contribution to the defense of Hebei over the years and gave another sum as a gift. In addition, my father is the third envoy, so through the Privy Council,

There is no problem in appropriating a sum of money in a legitimate manner. Therefore, the Miao government does not need to worry about the cost, we will not scrape the land in Dingbian Town." Xiao Cheng said, patting his chest.

There are people in the court who like to be officials.

Miao Shou's mind was buzzing with these words.

This background of Xiao Ding allows him to turn the huge problems that others encounter into non-problems, which is something that others cannot envy.

"There's more!" Xiao Cheng suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I heard that this Weiming tribe is very rich and famous in Hengshan! I really can't figure out why such a tribe would come to provoke us.

What? And unfortunately they were beaten into a pile of shit by us. Miao Tongzheng, do you know why I didn’t kill them all and throw them into the river?"

"Why?" Miao Shou couldn't help but ask.

"Waiting for the ransom!" Xiao Cheng laughed. "I have already sent someone to send a message to the Weiming Department. One person, ten thousand guan."

Miao Shou looked at Xiao Cheng with wide eyes and blurted out: "Ten thousand guan per person? Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Yes, they came to rob us first!" Xiao Cheng said: "Either give money to redeem the person, or you can stay here as a coolie for me until you die. As for the famous Heda, one hundred thousand guan

Only then can I let him go, otherwise there’s no way he can even think about it.”

"How can the Weiming tribe have so much money?" Miao Shou shook his head.

"A large tribe with tens of thousands of people, a tribe that can recruit thousands of soldiers at any time, can't get this little money?" Xiao Cheng sneered: "I can't control it anyway, either give me the money and let them go, or just stay here."

Just work as a coolie. Anyway, I am a human being. These coolies are all strong and strong, so they can be used just fine. If they are used to death, there is no need to take responsibility."

Miao Shou was so angry that he was trembling. Is this Xiao Cheng so cold-blooded? He was entrusted by the Weiming clan today to come to Shentang Castle to ask Xiao Cheng to release him. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Xiao Cheng before he even opened his mouth.

The words were blocked to death.

"Wei Ming is a large tribe in Hengshan Dangxiang, and its appeal is extraordinary. Now you are killing and fighting, and you are asking for such an extortionate price. Aren't you afraid that the Wei Ming tribe will unite with other tribes to attack Dingbian City?

When the border is in chaos, can you bear this responsibility?" Miao Shou said coldly: "Listen to my advice, it is best to let this matter go."

"I don't understand what Governor Miao said." Xiao Cheng flicked his sleeves and suddenly changed his expression: "I stayed well in Shentangbao without recruiting or provoking him, but the Weiming tribe raised an army to attack me.

, in the end, it turned out to be mine? He still wants to unite all the Tibetan tribes to attack together? First of all, whether he has the ability to do so is another question. Which Renduo tribe or Tuoba tribe will take the lead for the Weiming tribe? As for the

Other small tribes, hehe, I have already seen them a few days ago. If they dare to come to my Shentang Castle, I will let them come and go without return, I am short of coolies!"

"You are not the only one in Dingbian City who has Shentangbao!" Miao Shou shouted.

Xiao Cheng glanced at Miao Shou and said: "Miao Commander, now I am leading Guangrui's army to station in Shentang Fort first. The responsibility of guarding the land is also in Shentang Fort. As for other places, before my brother came, they were all

It is your responsibility to control the Miao government. The land has been lost and the people have suffered. Naturally, someone will be responsible for it. I think it will definitely not be found on me."

Miao Shou stared at Xiao Cheng fiercely for a while and then said: "Commander Xiao has not come yet, and I am still in charge of Dingbian City. I said that these soldiers of the Weiming Division should be released to nip the possible flames of war in the bud.

among.”

"I'm sorry, Guang Rui Army has never been willing to pay tribute to others even after receiving a slap in the face? In this case, Guang Rui Army only gave iron and blood to its opponent!" Xiao Cheng said coldly.

"You dare to disobey the order?" Miao Shou's eyes turned cold.

"Miao Commander, don't make a mistake." Xiao Cheng chuckled: "I am the pioneer of the Guangrui Army, not your subordinate. You still have no control over me! As for when my brother arrives, you will have no control over me."

"Damn it!" Miao Shou finally couldn't hold back the anger in her chest and said angrily: "Xiao Cheng, do you think I came here today to discuss with you?"

Xiao Cheng looked at the other party intently, and then said after a long while: "I thought Commander Miao brought thousands of troops and horses to help me to fight against the possible revenge of the Hengshan tribes. Are you using it to threaten me?

?”

"It's just a threat to you, so what?" Miao Shou said coldly: "I just ask you, will you let him go?"

Xiao Cheng turned around and looked into the distance, and said calmly: "Do you know, Commander Miao, that my brother was in Bianliang, leading 11 personal guards to fight against a hundred Dragon Guard cavalry? As a result, the Dragon Guard suffered more than 70 casualties. Guang Rui

Among the eleven people below Jun's brother, the one who was seriously injured only had a broken hand, and he is almost healed now."

Having said this, Xiao Cheng smiled: "Miao Commander, I have 500 Guangrui troops here now. Five of the ten personal guards who followed my brother in the Qionglin Garden are here. By the way, I want to tell you something special.

Let me introduce, that stupid big guy staring at you from behind, I call him Hammer. This self-proclaimed most brave general of the Weiming tribe was knocked down by my Hammer in a face-to-face battle.

captives on the earth.”

Miao Shou's face gradually turned blue.

"So, Commander Miao, are you threatening me?" Xiao Cheng chuckled: "Brothers of the Xiao family never threaten others. If you want to do it, just come. I still have some coolies here!"

Miao Shou was choked on the spot.

He originally thought that as soon as he came and relied on his official rank, he could easily suppress Xiao Cheng, a boy with a yellow mouth who was only sixteen years old. Unexpectedly, the other party was just like a stone in the pit, and he would not eat anything soft or hard.

Does he really dare to send troops to fight with Xiao Cheng here?

He didn't dare.

The combat effectiveness displayed by Guang Rui's army was simply too terrifying.

"Those soldiers will not be released unless they are released." Miao Shou said in a slower tone: "But Weiming Heda is going to be released. His identity is too important."

"It's just because it's important that I won't let him go!" Xiao Cheng said, "Unless they take one hundred thousand dollars. If they don't take the money and dare to send troops to attack again, I will kill this guy in front of them."

head to strengthen the power of our army."

"When the time comes when all the Tibetan armies and horses from Hengshan come to attack us, how long can your Guangrui army hold back even if they are able to fight?" Miao Shou said angrily: "Don't harm the entire Hengshan area with your foolish opinions.

"

"Thousands of troops?" Xiao Cheng laughed, showing his white teeth: "The Weiming tribe can only gather up to two thousand people now, as for other tribes? Haha, Miao Tongzhi, see that

What am I doing while I'm working on something? There's already a dozen tribesmen who have made appointments with the Hengshan tribes for trading. In ten days, they will come here with all kinds of good things.
