Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 229 The Battle of Chenliu ([-])

"I didn't expect that the big family in Shanfu City would be so impatient just after the Qin army captured Chen Liu. But it's good, so I can get more supplies!" Listening to Lu Wan's report, Liu Ji said without worry. said with a smile.

Owning Shanfu City, Liu Ji still lives the life he used to eat without a meal.He had no choice but to "borrow food" from the rich and powerful every month, but this also made those people resent Liu Ji.After all, when Qin Jun was there, he was just collecting taxes. Although the tax burden was relatively large, everyone could still earn it back by doing business; but now that there are wars everywhere, no one dares to do business. Families can also be eaten up.

"My lord! Do you want to lead troops to raid the house?" Lu Wan listened, and asked Liu Ji's cleverly.

Just when Liu Ji was about to nod his head, Shen Shiqi said loudly: "My lord, absolutely not!"

"Talk about it! Why not?" Liu Ji was a little angry and asked very puzzled.

Ever since he raised his troops in Pei County, Liu Ji found that everything was not going his way.Not only has he been driven to Dang County now, but he still has to worry about money and food every day as he did when he was in Pei County.

Liu Ji was very happy to have the opportunity to live a life without hesitation for the time being.But he was stopped by Shen Shiqi, which made his face a little gloomy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ji realized that his tone was too harsh, and immediately took a deep breath, and said again to Shen Shiqi with a pleasant face: "Does the military commander know the current situation of our army? If you don't go to raid the house, what will you use to support the sergeant? What will you take?" To fight the Qin army?"

"Of course I know!" Shen Shiqi answered Liu Ji with a nod, and continued when Liu Ji was about to speak out: "But I know that if the lord goes to search the family and exterminate the clan, then no matter which city we capture in the future, our army will be able to fight against it." The rule there will be unstable. No matter where the rich, rich, or common people will welcome our army!"

"Is it that serious? Military advisors, don't talk big!" Lu Wan let go of Liu Ji's original idea of ​​ransacking his home, and immediately refuted the trial.

"After our army arrived at Shanfu, the lord ordered to borrow food from various clans and wealthy households. If the lord only borrowed once or twice, I believe these people will cooperate with the lord very well. But you have been in Shanfu for three months, and you will expand your army every month. Yue sent troops to borrow food. Now some people are forced to be overwhelmed and ask for help from the Qin army; what about in the future? My lord! Think about it carefully!" Shen Shiqi ignored Lu Wan, but looked at Liu Ji His eyes were extremely distressed and said.

After Shen Shiqi finished speaking, he folded his hands and retreated.Lu Wan was about to speak to Liu Ji again, but Liu Ji waved her hand to signal Lu Wan to go down.

Seeing that Liu Ji wanted to calm down for a while, Lu Wan had no choice but to back down.

The next day, Liu Ji summoned the civil servants under his command to the so-called single father's mansion.

The civil servant Shen Shiqi is the leader, followed by Wang Xi, Cao Wushang, Chen Bi, Wu Ru, and Chen Juan; the military general Lu Wan is the leader, followed by Zhou Ke, Xi Juan, Ji Xin, Ji Yi, Cai Wu, Chong Da, and Chen Juan. He, Lu Ze, and Lu Shizhi.

Liu Ji is currently the most brave and good at fighting under his command, and all the civil and military personnel who are good at handling internal and external affairs are all present.Seeing that all the civil and military personnel had arrived, Liu Ji said: "Yesterday! General Lu Wan's school lieutenant, Fan An, captured the house servant who had an affair with Tyranny, and he persuaded me to go and steal Jujia; he used Jujia's wealth to support the army. Coincidentally, the military adviser is also there, and he dissuades me from doing this."

After a pause, Liu Ji continued talking. "The military division's words made me think twice. All night, I was thinking about how to deal with it so that the big families and wealthy families in Shanfu City would not reject me. But no matter what I did, it was not feasible. Later, thanks to Xijun, I was able to speak to me. Summon a group of great clans to come and let the servant confront the Patriarch of the house. Therefore, the purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss whether this matter is feasible or not?"

"My lord! This plan is feasible!" Wang Xi was the first to get up and agreed, and then explained the reason for his approval. "According to the plan of the mistress, we can tell the rich and wealthy households in Shanfu City that the ransacking of their homes is due to their infidelity with the Qin army. We can also tell the rich and wealthy households in the city from the side that they must not have an affair with the Qin army or they will be severely punished. Or they can Confiscating one's home in a legitimate way will enrich one's own strength, and it will also deter the rich and wealthy families in the entire Shanfu City, making them afraid to take any further actions. Therefore, the minister agrees with what the mistress said!"

"My lord, the last general also agrees!" Lu Wan also said, cupping her hands.

"What's the opinion of the military adviser and joining the army?" Liu Ji nodded, then looked at Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang and asked.

"Mistress, this plan is feasible!" Cao Wushang said first.

Seeing that everyone in the Liu Ji Group agrees, Shen Shiqi also nodded and said, "For now, that's all there is to it!"

Seeing this, Liu Jixi smiled and said: "So, let's call the wealthy families in the city to come to the palace tomorrow. This matter will be handled by Captain Lu Ze!"

"Here!" Lu Ze got up and bowed his hands to accept the order.

………………

Lu Ze took his soldiers and his family to inform the rich families in the city to go to Shanfu's mansion tomorrow. Although Lu Ze's courtesy was thoughtful, it made these families in Shanfu City tremble a little.

Home.

After Lu Ze came to inform the news that he would go to Liu Ji's office tomorrow, Ju Sheng, the head of the house, became a little worried.

After thinking for a long time, Ju Sheng immediately sent someone to invite the heads of several families who conspired with him to secretly report the situation of the defenders of Shanfu City to the Qin Army.

"Why did my brother-in-law ask me to come here?" Ju Sheng's eldest brother-in-law Shang De, the head of the Shang family, asked after all the family heads had arrived.

"Everyone must have received Liu Ji's invitation, right?" Ju Sheng didn't say the purpose easily, but asked all the Patriarchs present.

"That's natural! Then Liu Ji wants to discuss the matter of protecting Shanfu. As a big family in Shanfu City, he must invite me to discuss it!" Shang De didn't know why his brother-in-law asked these questions, but he was the first answer.

"We have all been invited by Liu Ji!"

"Liu Ji has done some personnel affairs this time, and sent a polite person here. Otherwise, a certain person will definitely not go to the appointment tomorrow!"

After hearing what the heads of the various families had said, Ju Sheng was frightened and appalled at their defenselessness.Then, he said with a bit of heartache: "Everyone is like this, do you know that it will bring us a catastrophe?"

"How do you say that?" Shang De asked a question.

"Together, I will disclose the secrets of Shanfu City's defense to the Qin Army, so that the Qin Army can protect the family after the Qin Army captures the Shanfu City. But now you are so defenseless, you may leak the secret! By then, I will wait until the Qin Army has not come. Liu Ji ransacked the family and wiped out the family! Isn't this a disaster?" Ju Cheng took a deep breath and said angrily to the patriarchs present.
