Old man: “…”

The old woman also asked him, "How can there be such soldiers in this world? My dear, if you rush out without thinking twice, we will not offend them, will we?"

Old man: “…”

The child was young and just sucked her fingers without saying anything. After all, she didn't understand what was happening. The aunt holding the child suddenly spoke up: "Dad, the soldier who just took your axe was really good-looking."

Old man: “…………”

He was completely furious: "What are you yelling about?! If you hadn't shouted that the soldiers were stealing our food and were going to tear down our house, would I have come out?! Go away, go back and close the fence gate!"

After saying this, he walked back angrily, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a while, he shouted to the old woman behind him: "Bring me a bucket!"

"Get another rope!"

The old woman asked him kindly, "Darung is at home, let him go up the mountain to chop trees, and we can make a windlass so that it will be more convenient to get water in the future."

The old man turned to his son angrily: "Why don't you go now?!"

son:"…………"

The same farce happened in several other places. Although everyone realized that the Zhenbei Army was doing good things, the psychological shadow was not so easy to eliminate. They were still afraid of the Zhenbei Army, and they were even more afraid that this was a trap. After two days, the Zhenbei Army's true colors were exposed.

When Huang Yanjiong went out for a walk, he was first surprised by the inexplicable behavior of the Zhenbei Army to repair people's houses. When he saw the homeowner crying and wanting to kowtow to them and ask them to let him go, he laughed out loud on the spot.

He said to Zhou Liang beside him: "I don't know who came up with this bad idea, thinking that doing small things can win the love of the people, but it is all a waste of effort and will chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Who would repair houses, dig wells, and build bridges? Either they were servants or coolies. Soldiers followed their generals to fight for food and drink. Who would be willing to treat themselves like this?

Huang Yanjiong was dismissive of such small favors. Zhou Liang looked at him and held back his eye roll.

If Huang Yanjiong were to do this, it would easily discourage the soldiers. After all, he has few men under his command, and now all together there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses. If he suddenly takes out 5,000 or 6,000 to do miscellaneous work, the morale of the army will be shaken.

But Qu Yunmie is not him. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command! The entire area north of the Huai River has more than 400,000 soldiers, and he is still recruiting soldiers openly, which is much better than Huang Yanjiong's sneaky recruitment.

Therefore, they can simply draw out troops and use this behavior to win the favor of the people in the city.

People would not dare to believe it if it happened within one or two days, but what about ten days, eight days, or one or two months?

Especially since no one has ever done this before, the Zhenbei Army seems even more precious.

This must have been Xiao Rong's idea. There were only a few people around the King of Zhenbei. If someone else had this idea, they would have implemented it as early as at Yanmen Pass.

It was really a good way to win people's hearts. There was no need to provide porridge or grain, nor to reduce taxes. Just let the idle soldiers go out to do some work. This pleased the people, spread the reputation of the Zhenbei Army, and consolidated the position of the King of Zhenbei.

Damn it! If only he had thought of it first, when he implemented it somewhere else, it would be seen as an unlearned imitation of others. Maybe the people would buy it, but the scholars would not be so tolerant.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more anxious he became. Zhou Liang couldn't stand the fact that someone was more powerful than himself. He now urgently wanted to leave Chenliu City and find a wise leader who was a hundred times more powerful than Qu Yunmie as soon as possible.

At least this is quite simple. Zhou Liang has always believed that even the head of a village knows how to govern a place better than Qu Yunmie. …

He originally wanted to wait two days before leaving, but then he thought it wouldn't make any difference, so he turned around and bowed to Huang Yanjing, saying that he wanted to go to the local collection of essays and ask them some questions.

Huang Yanjiong thought that he was going to gather information for him, so he naturally let him go. However, he was also cautious and asked the two subordinates he brought with him to leave with him.

Huang Yanjiong didn't think Zhou Liang would defect, but he was a little worried that Zhou Liang would go to Qu Yunmie and sell him out.

Not long after separating from Huang Yanjiong, Zhou Liang used a knockout drug to knock out the two people who followed him.

As a person who holds grudges, Zhou Liang knows very well how terrible it is when others hold grudges, so he either doesn't take action, or kills the other person directly if he does.

The two unlucky guys died before they even opened their eyes, and Zhou Liang stripped off the clothes of one of them and left the place in a hurry.

Xiao Rong had not yet decided whether to take action or not, and he had not expected that Zhou Liang would run away so decisively. At this time, he was staying in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and opposite him was Huang Keji, whom he had sent for invitation.

He didn't waste any words and said to Huang Keji: "Your uncle wants to kill you, you should have known that, right?"
