Life in the city of Jizhou is still peaceful, and people seem to have no idea what is happening outside the fortress because they live in a strong fortress.

In the summer of the thirty-first year of Da Chu Renshou, when the wheat was just about to be harvested, the thieves broke through Tang County under the rule of Jizhou, plundered grain and grass materials, and killed people without calculation.

The county seat of Tang County was burned, and I don't know how many people were displaced.

It was at this time that the first order issued by Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, was not to exterminate the thieves, but to temporarily close all the gates of Jizhou City and not allow refugees to enter the city.

As long as those refugees who are ragged and don't even have food don't enter the city, the city of Jizhou will still be prosperous, splendid and singing and dancing.

The people in the city don't think so, of course it's a good thing for them that the refugees don't come in, there are granaries in Jizhou City, and the grain stored in the granaries is said to be enough for the people in the city to use for decades, as long as they are not distributed to those refugees, the people in Jizhou City are enough to live.

Jizhou City is very large, there are all kinds of industries in the city, and Zeng Ling summoned his officials to discuss and deduce, and they determined that as long as Jizhou City was fine, the materials in the city were enough to be self-sufficient.

As for the refugees, they waited outside for the gates to open, and they didn't leave for three or five days, and they didn't leave for ten or eight days?

When the refugees are gone, Jizhou will open the gates as if nothing had happened.

This is the current situation of Dachu, not only in Jizhou, but also in many places.

Further south will be a little better, after all, close to the capital, the Great Chu Mansion soldiers are strong, and the hundreds of thousands of thieves who have not yet formed a scale do not dare to fight with the government soldiers, but this does not prevent them from whistling and whistling away like a locust plague.

Li Didiuu is still living his life, and he can't see what the chaos outside the city is, and it is the defenders on the city wall who can see that the outside of the city is full of refugees.

However, the defenders were strictly ordered not to talk nonsense about the fact that many people had starved to death outside the city, and whoever said it would be dealt with according to military law.

However, when the military order is returned to the military order, the defending soldiers know what is happening, and they will inevitably say a few words to their relatives and relatives, reminding the family that it is best to buy more food for preparation, and that they can leave nothing else alone for the time being, and the food cannot be ignored.

As a result, all of a sudden, the grain stores in the city became lively, and the merchants who opened the grain stores did not realize at first, but then for several days there were people buying large quantities of grain, which made their sense of smell keen.

As a result, the price of food began to rise, and the people of the city began to live on a tight budget.

And this was beyond the expectations of the adults.

Jiedu Embassy.

Zeng Ling looked at his subordinates with a pale face, and the group of civilian officials on the left had some schadenfreude on their faces, after all, these things seemed to have nothing to do with them, and it was said that those who were soldiers spread the news.

The faces of the generals in the row on the right were ugly, and Zeng Ling had just scolded them bitterly, making them feel embarrassed and aggrieved, but they didn't dare to say it.

Those civil officials have ugly faces, but can they defend the city? It's not a soldier to defend it.

"I'm announcing a few things, and I'm going to do it right away."

Zeng Ling stood up and said as he walked: "The first thing is to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jizhou City as soon as possible, no matter how much food hoarders are killed, no matter how much the grain store raises the price, all family property will be confiscated." ”

"The second thing, if you want the people in the city to stop being afraid, you have to let them find something to do, many big families in the city, you see who has something at home, whether it is a birthday or a birthday, they will find an opera troupe to sing on the street stage, let the people watch at will, if there is any disobedience of family property."

"Third, restaurants, teahouses, casinos, and green buildings in the city, all businesses must be open as usual, and no one can close the door, no one can leave Jizhou, and no price increase is allowed, otherwise the family property will be confiscated."

"Fourth, take 200 carts loaded with grain from the granary and pull it out, walk through the streets of the city, and then return to the granary, saying that it is the summer grain that has just been sent in from outside the city to be put into storage."

After saying this, Zeng Ling looked at Gao Shaowei, the dean of the Four Pages Academy, who had been sitting on one side and did not speak.

"Elder Gao, the field vacation of the academy is coming to an end soon, after you go back, let the teachers and practitioners make it clear when the students return, don't make a fuss, they are all scholars, and the influence of scholars is too great."

Gao Shaowei hurriedly leaned over and said, "Jiedu reassures the adults, I will arrange it." ”

Zeng Ling snorted and asked, "Do any of you have any other way?" ”

Jizhou Mansion Zhilian stood up and said: "Last year, the imperial court issued a general document, this year is Your Majesty's 60th birthday, and all localities must solemnly organize the celebration of Your Majesty's birthday, and there is less than a month to count." ”

Zeng Ling nodded: "Well, I have already sent someone to arrange it before...... Since even the adults mentioned it, let's make the scale we set before bigger, repaint all the streets of Jizhou City, and make the whole Jizhou City clothed in red. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I think the Jizhou government can take out a special amount of money to recruit a large number of migrant workers to repair the streets in the city, purchase and arrange colorful flags, so as to accommodate a large number of people who have no work to do for the time being." ”

Lian Gongming scolded in his heart, but he still leaned over honestly and said: "After the lower official goes back, he will discuss with the people in the yamen and come up with a detailed statement, and then hand it over to the adults to decide." ”

"You don't have to give it to me."

Zeng Ling waved his hand and said, "You have an idea." ”

In this way, a group of big people decided to put red on Jizhou City after Tang County was broken by thieves, and let the people of Jizhou City celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor who was far away in the capital.

Hunger was everywhere outside the city, and the city was about to be noisy.

Four Pages College.

Li Didiuu would practice the Formation Breaking Knife over and over again in Mr. Yan's courtyard every morning, and his arm was much better, perhaps because he had eaten a lot, and he recovered much faster than ordinary people.

It is said that it will take 100 days to hurt his muscles and bones, but he can't see that his arm has been injured for a month, and of course he doesn't dare to bear it.

He had already practiced the formation-breaking sword technique, and Yan Qingzhi spent twenty days sorting out the military books that his father had taught him according to his memory.

Xiahou Zhuo was not here today, so he took it out and gave it to Li Diu.

"This art of war was written down by my father back then, and it was all the battles that the great general Xu Qiyu had fought, and my father could explain it clearly in every big battle like a few treasures......

Yan Qingzhi paused, and a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He is the only son in the family, his ancestor is Xu Qiyu's personal military captain, but he has not married a wife and had children so far, and he can't tell the descendants about the general Xu Qiyu, but fortunately, he can still say it to Li Diudi.

"You should keep in mind that this book of soldiers is not allowed to be told to anyone, not even Xiahou Zhuo can say that it is a felony to read a book of soldiers privately, and it is even more a felony for me to write this."

Yan Qingzhi explained a few words heavily, Li Didiu nodded hurriedly, he ran to the side and sat down on the steps with the military book in his arms, and looked at it with fascination.

Since he was three or four years old, his master Changmei Taoist has taught him to read and write, but the teaching is too miscellaneous, and Li Diudiu's most obsession is nothing more than these war examples, but Changmei doesn't know much after all, and what he knows is hearsay, and most of them are passed on to the mysteries.

Now the military book that Yan Qingzhi has sorted out is a real battle example of that year, and there are many classic battles in which less wins more.

The great general Xu Qiyu is an incomparable legend in this life, he set the northern Xinjiang and the western regions, and how many times he turned things around when others saw him as defeated.

Li Diudiu looked at it word by word, for fear of missing a word, as if he had lost a treasure without seeing a word.

He sat there reading a book, and Yan Qingzhi pulled a rattan chair to the door and sat down, watching others not be discovered for Li Diudiu.

Until noon, Yan Qingzhi got up and stretched his arms and said, "Li Qi, let's go, it's time to eat." ”

Li Didiu ignored it and didn't seem to hear it at all.

Yan Qingzhidu felt a little incredible, and even the word "eating" couldn't make Li Diudiu react?

"Li Qi, it's time to go to dinner."

Yan Qingzhi said again.

But Li Diudiu still didn't have any reaction, and at this moment, in Li Diudiu's mind, a magnificent scene was extremely clear.

On a high slope in the grassland, the general Xu Qilu raised his clairvoyance to look at the enemy troops coming in the distance, but his face was calm as usual.

He had 8,000 cavalry under his command, and the brigade had been assigned by him to make a detour to attack the enemy's rear, leaving only 8,000 men by his side, and on the opposite side, 60,000 elite cavalry who had come to the decisive battle.

"Organ."

Xu Qiyu pointed to the winding river in front of him, the river was like a huge python, and the river was zigzag.

Xu Qilu put down his clairvoyance, smiled and asked his generals: "I want to surround the enemy's cavalry with 8,000 light cavalry and 60,000, what do you think?" ”

All his subordinates were a little confused, this was impossible, how could 8,000 cavalry form an encirclement of 60,000 cavalry.

The picture in Li Diudiu's mind was extremely real, he seemed to have heard Xu Qiyu say this, so he continued to himself: "Although the enemy army is numerous, they have committed a great taboo, their cavalry team came along the river, the river is so tortuous, you see, this forms a semicircle one by one. ”

"Later, I personally led the army to attack from the flank, and the enemy side was the Organ River, and they would be squeezed on the edge of the river, and they would be blocked in the semicircle one by one, that is, one by one......

As soon as Li Didiu said this, Yan Qingyi snatched the book in his hand.

"Li Qi!"

Yan Qingzhi shouted.

Li Diudiu raised his head blankly and looked at Yan Qingzhi, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, sir?" What do you do when you grab books? ”

Yan Qingzhi said: "I shouted you five or six times and you didn't respond, I'm afraid that if you look at it again, you will go crazy, and you have been sitting there talking to yourself......"

But what Yan Qingzhi was even more surprised in his heart was that when Li Diudiu was sitting there reading a book, he hadn't seen how the general Xu Qiyu arranged it, but the words he said to himself were almost exactly the same as those written by Yan Qingzhi according to what his father said!

In that battle, the general Xu Qiyu relied on the terrain and won a complete victory, 8,000 light cavalry broke the enemy 60,000, and also used the encirclement method.

If you don't see this kind of thing with your own eyes, even if you say it, no one may believe it, but Li Didiuu obviously hasn't seen it yet, but he has already clearly explained how Xu Qiyu arranged his troops.

"How so?"

Li Didiu said with a smile: "I won't go crazy." ”

Yan Qingzhi shook his head: "I won't give the books back to you in the evening, now go to dinner with me, don't you still have to go to Yunzhai Teahouse in the afternoon?" ”

Li Didiu looked up at the sun, only to realize that it was already noon.

"Those semicircles formed by the river are pockets, and the cavalry of Da Chu is the rope that strangled the pockets, and the enemies were all blocked in the pockets, and those who were shot were forced into the river and drowned......"

Li Diudiu let out a long breath: "This battle is too beautiful!" ”

Yan Qingzhi sighed: "Sure enough, I still went crazy." ”
