Chapter 488 The Head of the Farm Family Must Also Submit to Us! (Four Thousand Words)

A few days later, on a big island in Yunmengze.

Hundreds of strong farmers are practicing under the command of Peng Yue.

Beside, a group of people were talking around Chen Sheng,

"General Chen, the King of Chu said that as long as you are willing to support the King of Chu, the title of Great General of Chu will be yours."

"After defeating Qin's army and stabilizing the situation, if you need anything, just ask."

The group of people were a little cautious, and slowly said the conditions offered by their master.

Chen Sheng also listened with a smile on his face, but he didn't relax at all.

"The king of Chu has a heart, and the envoys have a heart. I am actually very satisfied with the conditions you offered."

Hearing this, several messengers showed a smile on their faces.

But then, Chen Sheng said,

"But although I am the leader of Yunmengze, the real leader is still the leader of our farm."

"Without the permission of the leader, I dare not agree."

Several messengers hurriedly said,

"It's okay, it's okay, if the leader of the peasant family is willing to come forward and call on the peasants of the world to join Da Chu, then the position of prime minister is his."

"If you have any other conditions, just mention them."

Chen Sheng looked at the few envoys with extremely humble attitudes in front of him, and actually wanted to cooperate with them in his heart.

Because there are many benefits.

Yunmengze is indeed short of food and money right now.

What's more, they started to fight under the banner of Zhang Chu. If they can get the support of the king of Chu, it will be justified.

But for such a big event, he really didn't dare to make the decision, so he could only postpone it.

Someone from the farm had sent a letter before, saying that the leader had arrived in Nanyang County.

Count the time,

It should be here too.

"Well, all the envoys, allow me to think about it again."

Upon hearing this, the messengers were about to cry,

"General Chen, I've been here for a few days, and you've been thinking about it for a few days. It's time to make a decision."

Chen Sheng would not be polite to them, his expression was serious, and he said,

"Let you wait, just wait, if you can't wait, just leave."

"The world is in turmoil today, and my farm has hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

At this time, Chen Sheng pointed at the strong peasants who were practicing, and then said,

"Everyone is such an elite soldier!"

"Not to mention, farmers all over the world listen to my call!"

"My leader is naturally busy!"

Seeing Chen Sheng's face changed, several envoys replied repeatedly,

"I'll just wait and wait, just wait and wait!"

Of course they knew that what Chen Sheng said was exaggerated. If the farm had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers like this, the world would have been theirs long ago.

But so what?

Even if the number is reduced by ten times, to only ten thousand or even thousands, they can't afford it.

Although the state of Chu is now the king of the six kingdoms, it has the most soldiers, the largest area, and the strongest strength.

But what does this have to do with King Chu?

Everyone can see that the King of Chu is just a puppet of the Xiang family.

Before setting off, King Chu Xiong Xin gave them a very clear explanation.

No matter what, you must get the support of Yunmengze!

So, even if Chen Sheng spit on their faces, they could only smile and let it do it naturally.

Just when Chen Sheng wanted to send them away, a farmer ran over with a smile on his face and said loudly,

"Boss, the boss is back!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng and several envoys were overjoyed.

Chen Sheng threw a sentence to several envoys,

"You guys wait here first."

Just trotted away.

Soon, Chen Sheng saw Zhao Lang, and ran over directly, with a bit of excitement,

"Boss! You are finally back."

Many people thought that he was the leader of Yunmengze, with tens of thousands of people under his command!

It looked extremely imposing.

But who knows, how much pressure is it to feed hundreds of thousands of people every day when you open your eyes?

There are not enough supplies for the winter now, and the winter in the south is extremely cold.

Now that the leader is finally back, he doesn't have to bear such a heavy burden!

Zhao Lang comforted the other party a little, Chen Sheng calmed down, and said quickly,

"Boss, the envoy of King Chu is on the island now!"

Chen Sheng quickly explained the situation to Zhao Lang clearly.

Zhao Lang frowned upon hearing this, looked at the farmers who were practicing not far away, and said with a smile,

"Now Yunmengze really has so many elite soldiers?"

Even from Zhao Lang's eyes, the hundreds of farmers here could be called elite.

With weapons and armor, it can definitely compete with the Qin army head-on.

Chen Sheng said with some embarrassment,

"This is the most elite of our hundreds of thousands of people."

Yunmengze is very poor, how can he have the money to support so many elite soldiers?

These hundreds of people were specially arranged to bluff the messengers.

Zhao Lang smiled and shook his head, then said,

"It's okay, just let them come here to see me."

At this moment, Chen Sheng hesitated, and said,

"Chief, do you want to reveal your identity in front of these people?"

"What if some of these people know you?"

Zhao Lang was taken aback for a moment, what Chen Sheng said was indeed reasonable.

But his heart moved quickly, and he thought of something, and said,

"It's okay, you can find some wood, a piece of cloth, and make a simple screen."

"I'm just behind the screen."

Chen Sheng quickly took the order to leave, and not long after, he finished the screen.

Zhao Lang sat behind the screen and tried it, and the effect was good.

Chen Sheng said with a smile,

"Boss, this method is a good way to hide your identity! Not only can you not see people, but even the voice is slightly different. We can use it more in the future."

After speaking, he went out to call the messengers.

Sitting behind the screen, Zhao Lang was thinking about Chen Sheng's words, but his mind was slightly distracted.

He learned this method from the first emperor. At that time, he just thought that the first emperor would not see him for safety.

After all, Emperor Shihuang was very good at defending against assassins.

But now I have another idea.

Is the other party trying to hide their identity?

But there is no need.

Zhao Lang still wanted to think deeply, Chen Sheng had already walked in with the envoy of King Chu.

Although a little strange to this way of meeting, the messenger still said very respectfully,

"The envoy of the king of Chu has met the leader of the farm family!"

Hearing the sound of several people saluting, Zhao Lang immediately stopped thinking about it, and now thinking about how to get more money and materials from the King of Chu is the most important thing.

The messenger quickly said his request again, Zhao Lang thought about it for a while, and said quickly,

"The King of Chu wants the peasants from Yunmengze to belong to him. That's fine, but what does the King of Chu want in exchange?"

"Those positions will be removed. The Xiang family is powerful, and we can't fight them yet."

The envoy was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the leader of the peasant family would be so straightforward and direct.

quickly replied,

"Except for the status of Great Chu, the king of Chu said that he still has some money, food and grass, which can be given to the leader."

Most of Chu's current money is in the hands of Xiang.

However, there are still some nobles who are loyal to the Chu royal family and are willing to listen to the Chu king's orders in private and contribute money.

After all, hundreds of years of rule can always cultivate some diehard loyalists.

"In addition, there are still some people..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Zhao Lang quickly said,

"There is no need for manpower. If the King of Chu has any order, just tell us, and I promise in the name of the leader of the farm family that I will be able to do it."

Hearing this, the envoy showed a trace of joy on his face. As long as the farmers in Yunmengze agreed to surrender, it would be an extremely important achievement.

What's more, someone else made a promise in the name of the head of the peasants.

Although this promise has some restrictions, it is much better than Xiang's!

So he quickly agreed,

"According to what the leader said! I will send the supplies and money of the army within a few days."

Zhao Lang was slightly surprised,

"How can it be so fast?"

The messenger replied with some caution,

"The list of these things has already been prepared, as long as you use the token, make a mark, and give me a reply."

Zhao Lang showed a smile, these people still had some scruples in their hearts.

After groping in his arms for a while, he took out the jade pendant, the head of the peasant family, and said,

"It's okay, you guys bring up the list, and I'll make a mark for you."

Soon, Zhao Lang reached an agreement with several people.

After receiving this guarantee, the envoys immediately left here and headed towards Wuzhong.

They should have returned long ago.

Looking at the backs of several envoys leaving, Zhao Lang sighed slightly.

"Boss, we got urgently needed supplies, why are you sighing?"

Chen Sheng asked a little beeping.

The farm is in short supply right now, and it should be happy to be sent up to take advantage of it now.

Zhao Lang clicked his mouth and said with some regret,

"Most of Chu's money and supplies are in the hands of Mrs. Xiang. With such a little stuff from the King of Chu, we are barely able to survive the winter."

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang regretted it again.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have killed Xiang Liang. Xiang's asking price must have been much higher."

"such a pity."

Chen Sheng on the side stopped talking, and his leader's appetite was too great.

"Forget it, nothing goes well in this world, Chen Sheng, please tell me about the situation of Yunmengze during this period of time."

Zhao Lang looked at the direction the messenger was leaving again, and said to Chen Sheng.

At this moment, after the envoy left Yunmengze, he galloped all the way.

But just after leaving Yunmengze's control area, a cavalry blocked their way.

When the messenger saw the other party, he fled in all directions without any hesitation.

But by this time it was too late.

The opponent had already prepared an ambush, and within a quarter of an hour, all the envoys were killed.

Soon, the cloth with the imprint of the head of the peasant family on the messenger's body was also found.

Then he was sent to an old man by a strong man, and said with great admiration,

"Mr. Fan, as you expected, the King of Chu is also in contact with the farmers in Yunmengze. It seems that they have reached an agreement."

This group of people is exactly Xiang Zhuang and others.

Fan Zeng looked at the cloth in his hand and said calmly,

"The king of Chu is really willing, this is almost all of his property."

"If I hadn't sent the messenger over in advance to set up eyeliner, I would have really let him succeed."

"But now, there is one thing that is certain, the head of the farm family is in Yunmengze!"

"Hmph, this time there is no need to contact Chen Sheng, you can directly negotiate with the head of agriculture!"

"Send this cloth to Yunmeng Lake!"

Xiang Zhuang hesitated for a moment, then said,

"Sir, if we do this, will we offend the leader of the farm family?"

"Also, King Zhao should have arrived at Yunmengze by now, how should I deal with it?"

Fan Zeng laughed and said confidently,

"It's okay, just give him this pressure!"

"You have also seen it along the way. Although there are many people in the farm, they are short of supplies. Otherwise, they would not form an alliance with the King of Chu just for this little thing."

"As for King Zhao, he himself lacks supplies, how can he compare with us?"

"This time, the old man gave the head of the farm family three times as much supplies as the king of Chu! This is coercion! Even the head of the farm family must submit to us!"

Hearing Fan Zeng's plan, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were full of admiration, he was completely convinced.

No wonder the uncle had to invite Fan Zeng in person that time, such a talented person is really desirable but not sought after!

It can be seen that in just a few dozen days, the farmer has already been included in the bag.

With Fan Zeng here, Xiang has no worries!

Fan Zeng directly handed the blood-stained cloth to the messenger and said,

"Send a message to Yunmengze!"

Soon, a fast horse headed towards Yunmengze.

At this time, Zhao Lang was looking at the information in front of him with a big face,

"There are 150,000 farmers who only have enough food for three months?"

Everyone in Zhao Lang was paralyzed. He had expected that Yunmengze's situation was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad!

The consequence of the sudden increase in the number of people is that there is not enough food.

Although there is land reclamation, but the time is too short. If we really want to be completely self-sufficient, I am afraid it will not be until next autumn.

Wood is easy to say, and now there are trees everywhere.

Chen Sheng grabbed the corner of his clothes uncomfortably, and replied,

"Boss, this food is still enough for the winter, as long as you don't starve to death anyway."

"How can you be full of food every day like Zhuangzi?"

Zhao Lang's request was different from his request.

Zhao Lang sighed,

"If there is no other way, that's the only way to do it, but ordinary people will get over it once they suffer."

"What about the old man, the child, and the farmers who are in charge of fighting?"

Chen Sheng stammered and said,

"Farmers who are in charge of fighting naturally supply food alone to ensure their combat effectiveness."

"Children don't eat much. As for the elderly...even if food is given, they will save it for the children at home."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang's heart was a little heavy. Huaxia's old man would indeed do this.

Even in the previous life, if there were any good things, the old man would save them for the children.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Lang can't let this kind of thing happen, and said with a bit of coldness,

"The king of Chu's supplies are still a little short. Go talk to the surrounding gentry to borrow some food and supplies to ensure that no one will starve to death or freeze to death in Yunmengze."

Chen Sheng nodded, he had wanted to do this for a long time.

It's just that Zhao Lang didn't allow it before.

Chen Sheng was about to leave when a farmer hurried in and said,

"Boss, someone outside Yunmengze sent a message under the banner of Xiang's family!"

As he said that, he took out the cloth that was still stained with blood.

Seeing the cloth signed with the envoy of the King of Chu not long ago, Chen Sheng was furious and said,

"Boss, these people are simply too deceitful!"

Although it was the envoy of King Chu who was killed, it was the face of the peasant family!

But Zhao Lang looked at Bubo in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said,

"Reply, the leader of the farm family, invite Mrs. Xiang to talk."
