Chapter 395: Two Choices

In the restaurant in the city, Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou were discussing things in the private room, and the relationship between the two had become better after the last pursuit of the Northern Barbarians.

The two had common interests, and they found that they were far more comfortable in Youzhou than in Zhangshui, and Youzhou Bingcheng had a faint tendency to develop into a fortress.

"General Dou, I have already contacted my friends in the forest and asked them to bring people over, it won't be long before the number of our soldiers and horses will increase exponentially, and we can do whatever we want at that time." Liu Wuzhou said with an oath.

"Hahaha, Brother Liu is really happy, I have sent a letter to Zhangshui's family, they will arrange for farmers to come over, this land is vast and sparsely populated, a lot of land can grow crops, survive this year, next year we will have endless food, soldiers and food, wouldn't we be happy in this fortress."

Dou Jiande expressed his heart, the battle of Liaoshui, the imperial court mobilized 300,000 soldiers and horses, all of them were buried in vain, at that time, he saw clearly that if today's emperor is so happy, he can't listen to persuasion at all, and he will not end well sooner or later with such a person.

So he had selfishness, gathered all the people who were overwhelmed by the battle of Liaoshui and settled them in Zhangshui and other places, and spent almost all his family resources in order to have a peaceful place and live a stable life.

In fact, it doesn't matter to the people who have fled, they only value their lives in the present.

With their military exploits, the imperial court also specially rewarded them, and both of them were promoted to official ranks, one became the general of Pingbei, and the other was the captain of Rongsheng.

The two of them were proud of the spring breeze, they saw the opportunity, as long as they stayed in Youzhou, they could develop their power, although the governor of the vanguard had different official titles from them, but there was a little advantage that they didn't care much about their affairs.

If they don't make trouble in the city, they don't cause trouble, and if they are too safe and stable, no one will care what they do, how ambitious they are.

So the two of them came and went, and they always felt that it was too early to become stronger, and it was a good opportunity for them to use all their skills to make up for their current shortcomings.

There is a shortage of people, not only for them, but also for the entire Youzhou.

Dou Jiande can finally find a place to gather now, and a large number of Liaoshui refugees will become his solid support.

The things that the two had a secret chat in the private room were all obtained by the intelligence officers of Red Peony, and the waiter quickly passed the news on, and soon Zhang Chuchen received the news, and after careful consideration, he did not alarm Li De.

Instead, let the spies keep an eye on.

In half a month, the generals of Chang'an City gathered together and arranged for the farmers to come to Youzhou, the purpose of which was to take care of the fields in Youzhou for them.

Pei Qingxuan had already made preparations, and all the vacant land near Youzhou City had been replanned, no matter how many people came, it was enough.

The Li family has the most people, and the house usually does not have the habit of employing many maids, but now it has bought a large number of domestic servants to serve as strong laborers, and the three hundred people have to obey Li De's arrangement.

At this time, Li Decai did not have the time to deal with the affairs of the land, and everything was arranged by Pei Qingxuan.

In the combat office of the Governor's Mansion, most of the lieutenants were there, and there was also Li Shimin.

Li De was pointing at the location of the map drawn on the wall with a wooden stick and began to explain.

"Three days ago, the scouts discovered that the Turkic tribe was here, eight hundred miles away from Youzhou, with about 3,000 people and more than 10,000 cattle and sheep."

"The second Turkic tribe has two thousand people, and there are at least six or seven thousand cattle, sheep, horses, and other materials, and the distance is one thousand miles."

"There are 30,000 garrisons in Modong Fancheng, which is about 200 kilometers away from these two locations."

Li De explained that the two tribes, together with their materials, had almost 20,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and were not close to the Turkic reinforcements, and if they could really pass through the wasteland, they would achieve huge benefits.

What Li Shimin was waiting for was an opportunity, seeing that the three places really wanted to attack Fancheng directly, he knew that this could only be thought.

"Brother-in-law, how many soldiers and horses do you plan to use?" Li Shimin asked.

"Three thousand soldiers and horses are enough to deal with these people, and our target is smaller tribes." Li De said.

Li Shimin thought about it and found that Li De was very sensible, and compared to a tribe of 3,000 people, they would have a greater advantage over a tribe with fewer fighters.

"Then, the tribe of three thousand will be solved by the Li family." Li Shimin said.

Li De knew that Li Shimin would do this when he thought about it, and he also knew that he had been close to Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou recently, and with Li Shimin's ability, maybe those two were still helping to count the money after they were sold.

The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and he doesn't care, anyway, they can harvest a small tribe, they can't chew too much, and there can be nothing wrong with Youzhou City.

In the operations office, several lieutenants were pondering how to make deployments, and they had not touched Li Shimin's affairs, and as for their governors' ideas, they didn't want to know at all now.

Because they know, they will know when they should know.

"Set off in three days, you have two choices, one is to take the soldiers and horses to follow the vanguard to gather together and go deep into Modong, and the other option is to go to the local army and divide into two roads." Li De said.

Li Shimin was just about to answer Li De suddenly interrupted: "You have some time to think about it, don't answer me yet." ”

Li De gave Li Shimin time to discuss with others, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"Okay, see you at the gate of Youzhou in three days." Li Shimin put down his words and left in a hurry.

Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou have been living very comfortably recently, and there are more than 2,000 refugees they have gathered, and after arriving in Youzhou City, all of them have been arranged to work, and they are paid every day.

As intermediaries, they take a lot of commissions, which is equivalent to making money by doing.

Li De didn't ask about the two contract foremen, anyway, the people who came had registered, and if they dared to do something out of the ordinary to give them a chance to make money, it would be no wonder that they were targeted.

The two of them had already heard about the Turkic tribes through Li Shimin, and their desire to obtain military exploits could finally be realized, but the two of them were more positive than Li Shimin.

Li Shimin came to the private room of the restaurant when he came out of the governor's mansion, and saw that the two of them had been waiting here for a long time, and he didn't sell it, so he directly told the situation.

"Okay, you and I have equal troops, and after the deed is completed, we will account for eighty percent, and the merits will be yours." Dou Jiande got straight to the point and mentioned the previous contract again.

"No problem, there is one thing you need to know, two tribes, Li Dudu has already chosen them to attack the tribe of 2,000 people, and the majority will stay with us, or join forces to attack them one by one, I don't know which one of the two can choose?"

Now Li Shimin relayed Li De's words and handed over the right to choose to the other party.

"General Dou, what do you see here?" Liu Wuzhou's performance was a little uncertain, in fact, Li Shimin knew that the person he wanted to be in the place was this Liu Wuzhou, who seemed harmless on the surface, but actually had a lot of thieves.

"What's so difficult for us to fight a tribe of 3,000 people with 10,000 soldiers, and besides, if we cooperate with the vanguard, wouldn't it be appropriate to divide the merits and benefits." Dou Jiande objected.

Liu Wuzhou followed suit and also disagreed.

The three of them discussed that things were far less complicated, and they quickly finalized the plan.
