Chapter One Hundred and Two: Conquering the enemy without fighting

Cao Cao's voice became lower and lower: "My lord, you are joking, three hundred taels of silver is just a hook. If the people of Liangshan break the city, the people may still be fine. Officials, rich gentry, landlords and wealthy merchants, who can win? I heard that among the gang of thieves,

There is a short-legged tiger named Wang Ying who is so lustful that if he breaks into whose house, it will be a big scandal. So it is better to lose money and avoid disaster!"

Wang Zhixian became more and more happy as he listened, and said in a low voice: "If you lose money and avoid disaster, where does the money come from?"

Cao Cao smiled more and more kindly: "My husband can hold a banquet at the Lion Tower, invite all the distinguished and wealthy people in the county, tell Liang Shanbo that he is coming to steal money and food, and ask everyone to raise a huge sum of money and give it to Liang Shanbo to buy peace."

"At that time, the general responded first and offered two hundred taels of silver. My husband praised me highly and offered another three hundred taels. The five hundred taels of you and me are the hooks. Everyone naturally responded. What's the point of raising thousands of taels of silver?

Difficult?"

"At that time, the money of the officials will be returned as it is. After all, everyone is on salary, and the family and the children do not have to support it? The money of the landlords and rich men will be divided into 50 and 50 cents. The adults will take 50% of the allocation, and the remaining 50% will be used to drive a fleet of cars.

When Liangshan was parked, he would come down to rob him. When the driver saw it, he abandoned his cart and rushed back. The thieves took a look and saw that they were all gold, silver and copper coins. There was a letter on it, which read, "Yanggu County Magistrate Wang XX worships the king."

The gang of thieves in Liangshanbo want to be dignified and loyal. Seeing that my husband is so respectful, they naturally refuse to attack. During the husband's term of office, Yanggu will be safe."

After hearing this, Wang Zhixian slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Okay! What a good plan! Wudutou has both civil and military talents. It is really a blessing for this county."

Cao Cao smiled and cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, you have a keen eye and know the pearls, and you will break them when they are needed. You really have the demeanor of being in charge."

Wang Zhixian was so anxious that he immediately sent people to the Lion House to book the whole place. He also ordered the officers to take his name card and invite people from all over. The only people he invited were landlords, merchants, and powerful locals.

After hearing the invitation from the county, who among these people would dare not to miss it? After a long time, not only the rich men in the city, but also the big landowners outside the city, such as Li Ying, etc., were all present, together with the officials of the county, big and small, all gathered together

Most of these people in the Lion House were on good terms with Cao Cao. When they saw the Wu brothers returning, they couldn't help but come up to them and socialize with them.

Not long after, Wang Zhixian arrived in a big way and invited everyone to take a seat. The wine and food were served. He stood up first, poured three glasses of wine in a row, picked up a glass and said: "Since I came to this county, I have been grateful to all of you for your kindness and kindness.

, everything is going well in the county, I am really grateful, this glass of wine is a token of appreciation for your care!"

After saying that, Zhi Er took a sip and then took another cup and said: "Thanks to the grace of the official family, I have known several places before, but this is the first time I have seen a place with such simple folk customs and mellow human relations as this county.

You have done a lot of teaching and enlightenment, and this glass of wine is a tribute to your righteous deeds and benevolent deeds."

Zi'er Zi'er drank another cup, picked up the third cup and said, "This cup is to thank you for your righteous deeds. You have saved the people in the county from fire and water, and you have protected us all to survive. All in the wine."

After one sip, he did it again.

Everyone became curious and asked one after another: "How do you, the county magistrate, save water and fire? Survive life completely? Where does this come from?"

Wang Zhixian heard the sound and sighed, with a look of sorrow and anger on his face: "Everyone, I have received extremely reliable information that the bandits in Liangshanbo are nearby. Now they are getting more and more serious. They first went to Jiangzhou Prefecture to kill the prefect Cai Jiu and countless officials.

, plundered the whole city, and killed Zhu Xun, the prefect of Pengcheng, and robbed countless money. When thieves from all over the world heard about it, they came to surrender one after another, and their momentum suddenly became great. They were about to attack Yanggu and rob me of money and food.

To feed the thieves."

These words were like a big stone thrown into an old cesspool, and it exploded immediately!

The faces of everyone in the audience changed with shock and horror. Some people shouted: "What is the court doing? Why not send out a large army to suppress him!"

Wang Zhixian shouted: "Listen to me, everyone, although there are soldiers and horses in the state capital, where should we not protect it? We can't stay in the county for a long time. As the saying goes, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. People have broken the city and looted it.

He left immediately, and the state's troops and horses were unable to rescue him, so I have thought over and over again that we, Yanggu County, can only save ourselves!"

Some people below shouted: "What the magistrate said is right, but how can we save ourselves?"

Wang Zhixian showed a resolute look on his face: "I have thought about it, why did Liangshan Bo come to fight? Is it because the power has increased and the money and food are not enough? That's simple, let's all pool together some money to buy a safe place, that gang

Thieves all want to show their loyalty, but now that they have gained face and gained benefits, they will never attack the city again."

After hearing this, everyone talked a lot. This place was too close to Liangshanbo. People knew it more or less. According to the temperament of Chao Gai and others, Wang Zhixian's statement might really succeed.

Among them was a wealthy man who had settled down in a poor household. He had been eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling for most of his life. Although his face was still bright, he was already empty inside. The government officials invited him over. When they heard that they were going to pay, they got into trouble and said, "Although this plan is wonderful, but I don't know what it is."

Why bother to pay? Anyway, I won’t be short of you all.” As soon as he said this, many people nodded quietly.

When Cao Cao saw this, he suddenly changed his color. He stood up and shouted: "The things that happened in the Song Dynasty are the fault of people like you. I don't deserve to drink the wine of the county magistrate! Where is Erlang?" Wu Song stood up and reached out to grab the wine.

The rich man's collar was thrown down the stairs.

The two brothers showed off their power, and everyone was trembling with fear. Cao Cao picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, saying: "Dear elders, this is because the county magistrate loves the people, so he is willing to have sex with the bandits, ah no, only then is he willing to live with the bandits.

The bandit is making a fool of himself! Brothers are not talented, so I am willing to give you two hundred taels of silver as a kind act for all of you!"

After that, Wu Song took out two huge ingots and placed them in front of the magistrate.

Wang Zhixian showed a grateful look on his face and bowed: "I take the place of Mr. Yanggu and thank you for your kindness." He took out a small baggage from under the table, opened it and said, "Although my eunuch's bag is thin, I can't bear to do such a big thing.

"Later? These three hundred taels are what I want."

Seeing that the magistrate paid the money, the county magistrates, bookkeepers, custodians, and scribes all took the instructions and hints. They all stood up proudly, like Jing Ke by the Yishui River, with faces full of emotion, and took out as many as one or two hundred

Silver, as little as thirty or fifty guan of money.

Wu Dalang smiled slightly and glanced to the left. Li Ying, the flying eagle, met his eyes. He stood tall and said loudly: "The magistrate has given up his official reputation and ignored his official reputation just for me and the humble people. What else can I say?"

Even though Lijiazhuang is not in the county, he still has to spend all his money to help Prime Minister Quan handle this important event! Li donated 10,000 yuan. He was in such a hurry that he didn't take it with him. He will send someone to deliver it tonight under the stars."

Wu Dalang glanced to the right, Feitianhu Hu Cheng nodded slightly, stood up from the table, and said loudly: "Hujiazhuang will never be left behind in such a big event. I will go back tonight to sell off a few pieces of furniture, and tomorrow I will send 10,000 yuan to

County government."

With two heads like his, who among the other landowners and wealthy merchants can sit still? Now you are five hundred taels, and he quoted eight thousand guan. In a short time, he has collected more than 6,000 taels of silver and more than 60,000 guan of copper coins.

Wang Zhixian was so moved that he picked up the wine and wanted to get drunk with everyone. Cao Cao took Wu Song with him and left quietly.

Walking to a quiet place, Wu Song asked: "Brother, what is the purpose of making such a plan to make money with this dog official?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I wanted to give some gold and silver as a gift this morning so that I can live in peace. Who knows he wants my brother to stand at a distance? Haha, brother, I thought it would be better to change the county to another magistrate, and wait until then.

Zhang got a note saying, "Yanggu County Magistrate Wang XX worships the King." What is Wang Zhixian? How can it be as good as Huang Zhixian?"

Wu Song was shocked for a moment, thinking that my eldest brother really couldn't afford to be offended by others now. If he disagreed with me, he would change the Shangguan. However, the Shangguan was still grateful so far. I'm afraid this is called a soldier who surrenders without fighting.

Soon after arriving at the house, Cao Cao dragged Wu Song and said, "Go home and stay." Wu Song said, "I agreed to go back and teach Tieniu some martial arts. He is straight-minded. If I don't come back, I can wait until dawn. But the eldest brother promised him

When did his wife marry him?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "After we have finished the business at hand, we can have a great time. By the way, second brother, you are not young, do you want to get married? I went out this time and brought some good wine.

You can drink it when you get married."

Wu Song's face turned red and he flew away.

Cao Cao shook his head, stretched his muscles, put all those intrigues outside the door, let go of his arms, and prepared for a fierce battle tonight.

There is a branch of teaching: the officials will withdraw all their money, and the powerful will get a 50-50 fortune. When Lao Cao gets angry, he becomes impatient, and the county magistrate uses Qiao to cause trouble.
