Chapter 331: Give them wages?
When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she looked at Leng Haohui in surprise, "Brother, do you know?"
Leng Haohui smiled and said, “I guessed.
If they can’t climb the stone wall, they can only burn it with fire. If the stones are heated, they will naturally be unable to defend themselves.”
Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I thought so too, but I still need to go and see the terrain to know the details.
Besides, burning the city wall is a big undertaking, so if there are other methods, it is better to use them.”
Hearing this, Leng Haohui nodded and murmured, "It would be great if we could fly in. In this way, no matter how high the wall is, it won't be a problem for us."
When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and an idea flashed through his mind.
However, this idea still needs to be based on the geographical location.
The next day, the army set out.
Xiao Lengyue looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly.
Leng Huaiyi saw Xiao Lengyue looking at the barren mountains around him and said, "Now, we have truly entered the territory of the barbarians."
When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he frowned and asked, "What about those two cities?"
Leng Huaiyi sighed helplessly, “Those two cities were only built in recent years.
The barbarians have relatively little land to cultivate, so when some cities become overpopulated, they will move those people here.
The Stone City we are about to attack is the original border city of the barbarians."
Xiao Lengyue didn't expect that things would turn out like this. After thinking for a while, he said, "No wonder the two city walls were built so casually."
When Leng Huaiyi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
He didn't expect that her attention was focused here.
He laughed for a while, then coughed and said, "Your Majesty, at our speed, we can reach the vicinity of Stone City by evening."
Xiao Lengyue nodded, "That's perfect. We can survey the terrain under the cover of night."
Xiao Lengyue didn't think that it would be inconvenient after dark.
On the contrary, for her, it is better when it is dark. Her five senses are different from those of ordinary people. To her, night is the same as day.
Xiao Lengyue was still on the road, but things were very exciting on Leng Shaobin's side.
Leng Shaobin looked at the team in front of him and looked at Zhou Zheng blankly, "Old Zhou, did I hear it wrong?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly, "General, you heard it right."
"So, in addition to raising these cattle and sheep, we also have to raise the barbarians?"
Seeing Leng Shaobin's frightened look, Zhou Zheng's face was full of smiles.
Leng Shaobin looked at the barbarian soldiers in the open space, and his chest felt like it was clogged.
He had been stationed here for so long, and this was the first time he heard that after capturing the enemy, they would have to feed them.
What's more, their hands are stained with the blood of the soldiers.
Thinking of this, Leng Shaobin felt even more stuffy in his chest.
When Zhou Zheng saw him like this, the smile on his face disappeared.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Leng Shaobin and said, "General, how about leaving this matter to the Second Young Master?"
"Xuan'er?"
Leng Shaobin looked at Zhou Zheng suspiciously, pondered for a while, frowned and said, "Can Xuan'er be settled?"
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he nodded without hesitation, "General, the Second Young Master will definitely be able to handle it."
After he finished speaking, he saw Leng Shaobin looking at him. He thought for a while and then told Leng Shaobin everything that Leng Haoxuan had said before.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Leng Shaobin and said, "The Second Young Master is very resourceful."
Leng Shaobin had never expected that his grandson would actually be knowledgeable in military strategy.
He always thought that Leng Haoxuan went out to do business because he didn't like military strategies, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Seeing Leng Shaobin lost in thought, Zhou Zheng asked, "General, what do you think?"
Leng Shaobin nodded happily when he heard this, "Then let him handle it first."
So, Leng Haoxuan looked at the barbarian soldiers who were tied up like dumplings in front of him, frowned and said, "Uncle Zhou, are you saying that my grandfather asked me to arrange them myself?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Leng Haoxuan and nodded with a smile, "Yes, the general said that he felt a tightness in his chest when he saw them, so he asked the second young master to handle it."
When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he couldn't say no for a moment.
He looked at Zhou Zheng, wanting to ask him for help, but seeing the emotions in his eyes, he nodded helplessly, "Okay."
When Zhou Zheng saw that he agreed, a smile flashed across his lowered eyes, but he quickly returned to his original expression.
Leng Haoxuan looked at the barbarian soldiers on the open ground and frowned, "Uncle Zhou, how did you usually deal with the enemy before?"
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said, "Second Young Master, usually, we lock them up first, and then wait for the enemy general to come and replace them."
When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he said, "So, if their general doesn't come to replace them, are we going to keep supporting them like this for nothing?"
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he nodded helplessly.
Seeing this, Leng Haoxuan frowned and said, "But as far as I know, His Majesty is not prepared to continue to allow the Barbarian Country to exist."
After saying this, Leng Haoxuan looked at Zhou Zheng, "Uncle Zhou, what did His Majesty say in the news he sent back?"
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he was stunned and said, "Your Majesty just said that we should take good care of the cattle and sheep first.
As for people, they didn’t say anything.”
Leng Haoxuan laughed when he heard this, "That's right."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Uncle Zhou, let's let them start clearing the wasteland tomorrow."
Zhou Zheng was shocked when he heard this: "Let them open up the wasteland?"
Leng Haoxuan nodded, "Yes, open up new land.
In addition to reclaiming wasteland, they should also build more sheep pens and cattle pens.”
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but when he thought about the cattle and sheep that were sent back and could only be locked up in a dungeon, he nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow, I will ask them to build a sheep pen and a cattle pen."
Leng Haoxuan nodded and said, “The ones sent over later can be handled in the same way.
After the necessary sheepfolds and cattle pens are built, let them open up the wasteland."
Leng Haoxuan probably knew what Xiao Lengyue was going to do next. After thinking for a while, he said, "Tell them that if they don't cause trouble and work hard, they will be paid."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he exclaimed, "And wages?"
Now, all he could think about was, should the enemy soldiers get paid for their work?
Leng Haoxuan saw Zhou Zheng's shocked look and quickly said, "Uncle Zhou, calm down, calm down.
So, follow me first, take a deep breath, exhale, inhale, exhale. "
Zhou Zheng listened to Leng Haoxuan's words and began to breathe unconsciously.
After he calmed down, he turned to look at Leng Haoxuan. Just as he was about to ask, Leng Haoxuan said, "Uncle Zhou, come on, I'll talk to you about this."
