Without Xu Muhai as an ally, the two masters of the Xu family were completely alone, and they did not dare to offend their sons and so many castle masters in other names. Moreover, destroying Dao Ren Luo would also have great benefits to the reputation of these two self-proclaimed literati.

As for the future property of the younger sons, we can find a way in the future. There is still some time, so there is no need to be so anxious now.

So, Xu Mujiang and Xu Muhe nodded one after another, and decided to go to war with the bandits in Fulaishan.

One thing is that what Xu Shisong said just now is very correct - war is always the top priority (maybe the great scholars in Jiangnan in the world, and officials believe that the imperial examination is more important than war).

Since the war has been decided to start, all other topics should first make way for war-related issues.

No matter how much the men of the Xu family said, they have supported the family for more than ten years in this troubled times, so naturally they would not misunderstand this.

So, for today's annual meeting, the rest of the topics revolve around the war with Luo Daoren.

First of all, the troops.

Although Xu Shiyang boasted that the Xu family could destroy a Tartar man, the other fortress lords did not dare to compare this combat power seriously. Their idea was: predict that the enemy would be lenient, assuming that the Naluo Taoist had 3,000 young men, of which 300 years old bandits or exiled officers and soldiers.

The Xu family's troops should not be lower than this number, so the head of the family Xu Mujiang solemnly announced that all the forts in the family would be fully mobilized, and three Dings would draw two to attack Fulaishan together!

This is really an amazing mobilization ability. According to this standard, the Xu family can send about 3,500 Dings!

This level of mobilization may be achieved only when the autumn harvest has just passed, the new grain has been put into storage, and the Tartars have not been given tribute this year.

When a large army fights, the first thing they can do is food and grass.

Dear to the fortress lords agreed that each of the Ding Zhuang who sent troops this time should prepare three-day servings of food.

The fortress owners will each prepare another three-day portion of food and grass for their own troops.

Even considering that the bandits had a copycat, they might have to stay stalemate under the earth wall for a few days this time (no one really dared to believe that Xu Shiyang had broken the wall at once), the head of the family Xu Mujiang gritted his teeth and promised to give the entire army three days of food from the public treasury!

This was the first time that the world was created, and even Xu Shiyang was surprised - does Gongkuli really have food?

He thought that the uncle's bottom line was at most that everyone would not have to pay the public grain this year, but he didn't expect that the iron rooster could even pluck her hair.

3,500 troops were sent, and 9 days of food and grass reserves were already the limit of a county-level tyrant like the Xu family. In other words, this war must end within 9 days, otherwise you can only withdraw your troops and drag the war to next year.

However, farmers and bandits are of different natures. The angry bandits going down the mountain next year will inevitably delay the farm work. This is a huge problem! It is possible that the Xu family will be defeated!

"Each castle takes out all the skills of the family!"

Xu Mujiang stood up and announced loudly:

"The war cannot be delayed until next year to affect spring plowing! Therefore, this year, no, within 9 days of the war, the Luo bandits must be wiped out!"

"This is a major event that concerns the life and death of my Xu family. I am ugly about it. At that time, if anyone does not work hard or retreats in the face of trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

All the castle owners responded in unison:

"promise!"

He is actually quite imposing.

'That's right.' Xu ​​Shiyang thought with satisfaction: 'Since he is a warlord, don't always treat himself as the leader of the landlord. When it's time to fight, you have to show some cruel momentum!'

...

"San brother, don't rush back, come with me."

After the meeting, Xu Muhe, the father of this life, called Xu Shiyang and said with some expectations:

"We father and son haven't spoken well for some time."

"Yes." Xu Shiyang agreed happily. He didn't want to leave because he hadn't received enough gifts for his relatives.

Wouldn’t it be a loss to leave at this time?

The father and son walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall together and walked towards the house where they temporarily settled in the First Village.

"Stern brother, brother said, have you prepared a war horse for your brother?" Xu Muhe said while walking, "Is this happening?"

"Yes, we have both brothers, and naturally there are fifth brothers." Xu Shiyang replied indifferently: "I have prepared two horses for my uncle and father each. Now Old Man Hu must have led the horses to the cafeterias of each family."

This is just to raise the topic. After all, the horse delivery was reported to all elders and brothers before the meeting. Xu Shibai knew that Xu Muhe did not need Xu Shiyang to confirm.

"You can still think of your brother, that's great." Xu Muhe nodded and said with satisfaction: "I know there is a little conflict between you, but no matter what, they are brothers. You will still support each other in the future."

"Yes, don't worry, father."

In fact, Xu Muhe was really a little confused. There was really no conflict between Xu Shiyang and his half-brother Xu Shiliu.

Some people who think there should be conflicts between them are just the second wife who became a concubine, and the father who is too fond of this Jiangnan beauties and seems a little confused about housework.

"When I leave, you brothers need to work together." Xu Muhe said: "I have several villages in my hands. I have already thought about it. At that time, you can get two more and leave two for your brother."

The old man stood still, looked at Xu Shiyang's eyes seriously and asked, "Do you want to?"

‘Ha, I thought, you really only planned to give me a village.’

Xu Shiyang almost laughed out loud:

"My father is in full swing, so don't say such things."

"If my father is worried about his younger brother's future life, there is no need to."

"You should know my personality."

"I can fight the Tartars this year. In the future, I will definitely fight again. I will fight once they come again. I will fight once in the future! I will never compromise!"

Xu Shiyang kept his smile calmly and clearly stated his (first stage) goals:

"If I can win again and again, then the Xu family's villages are nothing. I will show my prestige so that the officials in the court can remember my name!"

The Great Zhou also had a pro-war faction. Although it was declining, it also had its own influence. If Xu Shiyang could show his might in Jiangbei, the pro-war faction in the court that had been silent in recent years might not have taken him as a banner.

By then, let alone the villages of the second house of the Xu family, even the entire Xu family would not be able to trap Xu Shiyang!

Of course, there are other possibilities...

"If I missed once, even if it was only once..." Xu Shiyang said calmly: "Father, the more you give me now, the greater the loss of the Xu family will then."

Xu Muhe looked at him in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Chapter completed!
