Watching Mi Heng go away, he discussed some trivial practical matters with everyone and got the base. At this time, Wang Zheng was talking in a lively manner. After talking for a long time, he saw that Zhang Rao, Wu Niu and others all looked tired, and they shouted from time to time.
He yawned and finally woke up.
I neglected it.
It's been several days since we started pulling out of Xiao County.
Those ordinary soldiers are better off, after all, they can take turns.
But these generals were very busy and busy. They occasionally took a nap, but they hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
My own physique is excellent. Although I can stay energetic and not feel sleepy at all by sleeping for one or two hours a day, others are different.
After all, even fourth-level soldiers like Wu Sheng and Xu Fang were far behind him in strength, not to mention the others.
Secretly crying out in shame, Wang Zheng turned around and saw that the sun was rising outside the window and it was almost noon. He ordered his soldiers to go to the kitchen to arrange some meals and ate a little with everyone. After the meal, he ordered everyone to
Disperse each other.
As for Xu Fang, Wu Sheng and Zhang Rao were left in the county mansion to rest for a while.
These three people are also the candidates he has thought of, and he wants them to go together to meet the representatives of the prominent families in Pengcheng tonight.
Needless to say, Wu Sheng and Xu Fang specially roped in Zhang Rao, but it was because of his performance during the siege that Wang Zheng specially showed his respect.
...
At dusk, the moon rises above the willow branches.
When the four Wang and Zheng people came to the lobby under the guard of their own soldiers, there were already more than thirty people sitting on the couch. Everyone was wearing high hats and fine clothes, and they were all dressed in wealth.
General Tiangong arrived in person, and everyone stood up one after another. When they saw Wang Zheng for the first time, most people had the same reaction. The deep ones had a flash of surprise in their eyes, while the shallow ones immediately became startled.
Wang Zheng is also used to it. When most people meet him for the first time, they will be a little embarrassed because of the contrast between his status and age.
After a meeting, when Wang Zheng took his seat, everyone who came back to their senses either bowed their hands or nodded and bowed. They all made a big salute first, and then they all stood still.
First, he asked Wu Sheng and the other three people to go to the side couches separately. Wang Zheng looked up and saw that everyone was nervous and nervous. He couldn't help but smile. He pointed back to himself and said with a smile: "Zheng will change into regular clothes tonight."
I don’t want you elders to be too formal, why are you like this? Hurry up and take your seats.”
But he doesn't even call himself "general".
After everyone took their seats, Wang Zheng looked around and said loudly:
"The government did not come here to disturb the people. But I heard that the Prime Minister of Pengcheng State was incapable of governing the country. He could not calm the people internally and could not defend the enemy externally. As a result, the people of Xuzhou were harmed and the people were in dire straits. Therefore, I ordered thousands of soldiers from heaven to come to relieve the people.
.”
"The government is fortunate enough to live up to its mission and conquer the city in one battle. It can be seen that Xuzhou, the land of dragons and the hometown of the emperor, really can only the virtuous live in peace!"
"This is a natural principle, elders, is this true?"
You said that, do we dare to say otherwise?
Having accepted Zhang Zhao's invitation, these people are naturally smooth people who are aware of current affairs, and there is no way they would have any regrets.
No matter how ridiculous Wang Zheng's remarks were, they would hold their noses and dare not object.
Not to mention talking about it.
This time Pengcheng changed hands and the army entered the city, it was true that there was no crime in autumn. Not only did no people lose their homes, but big families like them were also safe and sound.
Despite being frightened at the beginning, compared to last year's Yanzhou Army, Wang Zheng and his army's performance was considered very good.
Therefore, in their hearts, although everyone still instinctively despises Wang Zheng, the yellow turban bandit, they really don't have any other bad feelings at the moment.
So they all turned their backs and kept saying, "What General Tiangong said is absolutely true, what he said is absolutely true!"
"The general's coming here really solves the urgent need for the lives of our people in Pengcheng. The villains are all jumping for joy. If it weren't for Cao Bao's lack of understanding of destiny and his efforts to block it, we would have eaten the pot of juice and left the city to greet him.
.”
"Now all the people are enamored with it, and the four sides admire virtue. The general captured Pengcheng, but he did not take it with his troops. It was the destiny of destiny."
"That's ridiculous." Wang Zheng smiled: "All the people are attracted by it? If this is true, there should be all the talented people gathered in the hall now, and there should be no empty seats."
As he said that, he glanced at the many vacant rooms, his smile suddenly faded, and a slight coldness passed through his eyes.
The heads of various prominent families were already very thoughtful. Seeing the strange expression on his face, they couldn't help but look over and immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Even if he knew that Wang Zheng was having an attack, he would not turn on them, but he was too charming now, coupled with his high position and authority, and if his thoughts changed slightly, there seemed to be invisible pressure slowly falling, making everyone even if they did not take it into consideration.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart.
Feeling the same atmosphere, Wang Zheng laughed, took the initiative to change the subject, clapped his hands and said: "I heard Mr. Zhang said that just after our army entered the city, all the elders donated a lot of money to replenish the military resources. I heard the same thing.
Very happy."
"There is no pleasure in the army. There is only a glass of water and wine. Please take it from me, and I would like to give you a glass in advance."
In his toast, everyone raised their glasses and congratulated Wang Zheng:
"Congratulations to General."
After finishing a round of drinking, Wang Zheng glanced at Xu Fang and saw that he took the initiative and said with understanding: "Since Pengcheng has a new owner, it needs a new atmosphere and new regulations. Dear elders, today I have taken stock of the relevant documents in the warehouse.
, according to your original land, a new land deed has been made, and it will be exchanged. Please return the old deed to the county government early tomorrow morning, or submit it to Mr. Zhang."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again and couldn't help but look at each other.
Exchange land title?
Upon hearing this, they thought for a moment and guessed Wang Zheng's intention.
After Cao Cao massacred the city last year, no matter whether it was ordinary people or even some poor nobles from small families, there were many people who died and their families were destroyed. Naturally, there were also many ownerless houses and fields. Now they have fallen into their hands early.
in hands.
Now Wang Zheng proposes a new contract to replace the old one. Not to mention how long he, a yellow scarf bandit, can occupy Pengcheng. Once he is defeated by other princes and flees in the future, this new contract will naturally be worthless. Even at this moment, I am afraid it is also to investigate those who have disappeared.
fields?
What a thief!
So greedy?
Zhang Zhao on the side was also shocked and looked at Wang Zheng in a daze.
Wang Zheng ignored their reactions and instead sneered: "What Major Xu said is true!"
"Just like what you all said, I got Pengcheng because of destiny. If someone doesn't attend the banquet today, it's an act against heaven, and the crime should be punished!"
When the last word was uttered, the murderous intention seemed to turn into reality, and the hall became silent immediately. Everyone felt that the place they were in at this moment had changed from a mansion to an ice cellar in an instant.
"These criminals naturally don't need to be given any new contracts. No matter whether their families are destroyed or destroyed, they all bring it upon themselves!"
At this point, Wang Zheng changed the subject, looked away from the faces of everyone in the hall one by one, his tone became gentle again, and he smiled: "You elders are different, you and I are both people of the same nature.
It is only right that you join me in welcoming the new atmosphere and new regulations!"
It's a real threat.
Everyone understood that this gave them two ways to go, or hand over the hidden land...
Or, even the land they own is gone.
only...
Although it stands to reason that Wang Zheng only asked them to spit out the land they snatched a year ago and did not touch the bottom line, but since the land was in their pockets, they had already regarded it as their own property.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and no one was willing to take Wang Zheng's words.
Wang Zheng was not in a hurry, so he sat cross-legged and drank by himself.
