Section 616 of thieves 8
, Gao Yu should understand as an official, but so much wealth is heavier than a cart of stones, and it is too difficult to pursue pirates with a war all the way, and it is easy to be robbed by pirates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a Rongcheng County in the jurisdiction of Laizhou, and Qin Shi Huang is looking for immortals to inspect the world, and it is claimed that it has reached the end of the sky at this time. Dengzhou, which is north of Laizhou, is the sea, and Cangzhou is north of the sea. To the northwest are Victoria, Qingzhou, and Binzhou.
When they arrive in Dengzhou, the pirates should also rush back to their southern lair.
After all, further north is too far from the south. Pirates could not go as far as the north to rob the wealth of the population. Gao Yu, like the Song court, still does not know that Goryeo no longer exists, and the peninsula has become a pirate territory. That's why I thought so. Moreover, there are many powerful bandits in Erlongshan who have been robbing and threatening year after year, and there are very few big families with big wealth in Qingzhou, Victoria, and Binzhou, which are not worth robbing by pirates.
Cangzhou is a border pass, although the people are rich, but the rich and powerful families are either killed and robbed by the Liao Kou year by year, or they are punished by the Marquis of Wencheng when he governs Cangzhou with an iron fist, and there are few left. Cangzhao, who is rich in the world, is definitely a super big family, but it is a fierce Liao army that can only stare at the bones, and in recent years, the bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty have tacitly and collectively suppressed and blackmailed, especially after Zheng Juzhong, the prefect of Cangzhou, deliberately trapped and destroyed the Cangzhao business on behalf of the emperor, the Cangzhao business plummeted and the deficit was serious, and the business outlets everywhere closed down and evacuated, and now I am afraid that the money will dry up and only an empty shelf. The pirates are vicious but they have never robbed or killed the common people, so there is nothing to rob when they go to Cangzhou, and the north and west are all strong border troops, and the pirates are arrogant but may not dare to provoke the Great Song Dynasty border army to come to a big battle.
Of course, Gao Yu, like the vast majority of scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty, hoped that the pirates would rob Cangzhou, to be precise, the Cangzhao family.
Awesome Cangzhao, if the hometown is destroyed in the hands of pirates, this is something that almost everyone in the Song Dynasty officialdom likes to see, and they are all looking forward to this opportunity to gloat, but they are worried that the wealth and cash cow owned by the Cangzhao family will fall into the hands of pirates, then there will be nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty bureaucrats, and Zhao Gonglian will not be able to eat affordable meat in the future.
Very conflicted.
Anyway, Gao Yu didn't want to go north, so he took 200,000 troops to guard the wealth and stopped in Mizhou to rest, on the one hand to protect Yizhou's brother Gao Feng, on the other hand, to wait for the pursuit of the two armies in the north, if the war did not go well, it was not too late to draw troops to the north to help. However, I believe that the twenty or thirty thousand pirate army and the halal mountain rogue are not so difficult to control.
Gao Yu didn't leave, but the civil and military officials of Mizhou and other cities who survived before the pirates had time to break through the city were very happy.
"Oh, Lord Taiwei, the lower officials are looking forward to the stars, the moon, the day and night, but the adults are here. The captain came too timely, it was simply a divine soldier descending from heaven, it was so ingenious and good, it was a wonderful touch, and a little later, the city was also broken, the city was full of disasters, and the heads of the lower officials and others could not be saved........."
"Yes, yes. Lord Taiwei is our savior. ”
........
Gao Yu saw that the prefect and a group of key officials all went out of the city to greet him and was extremely respectful and flattering, the common scholars who looked down on him in the past, this one did not, all the people were full of gratitude to him, look at the excited faces, a pair of grateful eyes, and a mouth that desperately flattered and flattered....... He was in a particularly cheerful mood.
In my impression, the prefect here is secretly Cai Jing's person, and it is said that he is also a corrupt official who is very good at being a person.
Gao Yu was in a good mood, made an exception and did not put up a fight, got off the horse and greeted the cordial and humble prefect, and talked with a gentle smile with the grateful officials, and naturally gladly accepted the warm invitation of all the officials, and took General Huaihua and other senior officers into the city for a banquet, exchanged feelings, and by the way, collected some due filial piety in the locality.
As for the army, it was stationed near the city to protect the great wealth of the army, and also to protect the city of Mizhou. Gao Yu wants to live comfortably in the city and wait for the good news from the north.
The Mizhou prefect and civil and military officials were grateful to the army for saving their lives, and they also curried favor with Gao Yu, hoping that the army could stay in Mizhou for a few more days to keep them safe, and when the pirates stopped robbing, the army would withdraw again. As for the meat of the labor army, such as sheep and pigs, the scorpion also scavenged it as much as he could and gave it to the army to enjoy.
The army traveled thousands of miles from Tokyo to Mizhou, killing and looting happily, but it also worked hard, especially on a hot day, the rapid march was too painful, not to mention that the 200,000 forbidden army was not a hundred elite soldiers who had been sharpened for so long, and they had never walked so many roads for such a long time, even a strong army like the Western Army could not stand it, and they would complain.
Now there is no need to pursue the pirates anymore, finally can stop and take a good breath, there are heavy troops stationed here, the pirates do not dare to attack the little strength, the army is nervous and dissipated, they have become lazy and lazy, vigilance and vigilance have also dropped greatly, under the scorching sun busy camping, is hot and uncomfortable more hungry and thirsty, at this time, the local labor army to express gratitude for the saving grace of the wine and tea and other mouthful of 'chicken soup for the soul' in time to serve, the huge military camp each battalion has a share, do not pull down the next place.
The generals who stayed behind knew what the soldiers needed most now, and they also needed the soldiers to continue to work hard to protect their wealth and resist pirates and obey the command of the leaders, and in order to buy the hearts of the army, they were also willing to take care of the soldiers who had worked hard to rob so much wealth for Captain Gao and their superiors, and quickly distributed the 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' more fairly.
The smoky throat of the army was saved, and he drank so happily, those who could drink drank wine, and those who couldn't drink also had tea and other thirst quenching, and no matter what kind of chicken soup for the soul was, he was reluctant to waste a drop. Quenching their thirst and hunger, the army continued to set up camp, and Mei Zizi waited for the meal to be eaten with pigs and sheep, but after nearly an hour, they lay down and fell asleep.
As for the generals of the battalions who were of high status and received additional treatment from the labor army, as well as their cronies and family generals who were particularly well taken care of by these people, they comfortably ate the delicacies of the labor army in their tents, drank more wine and good tea, and drank chicken soup for the soul earlier and more often, but they fell down earlier than their subordinates, or lay on the table or fell in the tent.
The ingredients of this kind of chicken soup for the soul specially made by Cangzhao medicine are colorless and tasteless, with high solubility, and they can't be seen and drunk at all, and the effect of the medicine is slow, and the veterans of the rivers and lakes can't prevent it.
It is said that the pirate army that fled to Laizhou suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and all the soldiers of the forbidden army dressed up quickly pounced on the barracks like evil tigers.........
The pirate fleet that disappeared into the sea also slowly filled the waters of Mizhou again.
Gao Yu and other senior generals who were drinking and feasting in the city ate and drank comfortably under the hospitality of Mizhou officials and the funny beauties of the accompanying women, but they didn't know that the 200,000 troops under their subordinates would become without a trace of resistance, and even from the left-behind generals to the lowly horsemen, from the officers on duty to the sentries standing guard, no one could be sober. Gao Yu took great risks, resisted so much pressure, and spent so much hard work to rob the accumulated wealth, but it turned out to be loaded onto a pirate ship, and the thousands of carriages vacated became the most effective means of transporting the forbidden army and weapons and materials on the ship.
Gao Yu and the others had nightmares, and they didn't dream that this Cai Jing's protégé, the local corrupt official and prefect, would plot against themselves, how could they be so wary of the enemy as reliable 'their own people'?
The 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' they drank was different from that of the army, and there was another material, they fell faster, and soon after eating and drinking, they fell asleep on the table one by one, and they couldn't wake up when they were scared by thunder, and the beauties who accompanied the wine changed their faces and sneered and slapped them a few times with disdain.........
The pirates emptied the barracks in batches, almost calmly.
In order to deal with and deter the officials who wanted to impeach him for the sake of harming his interests, Gao Yu deliberately took those powerful bullies and big bosses with a strong bureaucratic background who were taken hostage as criminal witnesses in the army, and by the way, who were coolies in the army.
Because of the need to quickly snatch away the wealth of the mountains and the forbidden army, the pirate ship has a limited capacity, and there is no place to fit these big dogs, so they are all killed. With a large number of deserving leaders and brains in the forbidden army as coolies on the peninsula, pirates are not uncommon, and some of these pit people are capable of working but are not able to use their farts as coolies.
One by one, the pirate ships were loaded, anchored and set sail, taking advantage of the strong Hisense south wind in summer, and sailed at full speed to the peninsula that is not too far away. The 200,000-strong army quickly disappeared into Mizhou, as if it had never been seen here, only the corpses and things that the pirates didn't want to prove that a huge army had ever stayed there.
After moving the forbidden army, the pirates then used unwanted horses and vehicles to quickly move away from Mizhou and the people who came to seek refuge from other places, and a few days later, after receiving a radio message, the Marines quickly boarded the ship and turned to Laizhou together with the ships that were transporting the Halal Mountain Rogues in Dengzhou.........
The two armies led by the Great Song Dynasty Fuguo General and the Champion General were thanked by the Laizhou prefect and the local county commander in Laizhou Prefecture and Wendeng County respectively.
The general of the auxiliary state came to Laizhou Mansion with 100,000 heavy troops, on the one hand, cutting off the way of the pirate army that is said to have not many troops to flow north, and by the way to keep the city of Laizhou to make a contribution, on the other hand, he wanted to rest here safely, waiting for the arrival of the army sent by Gao Yu, and the two legions negotiated in Laizhou Mansion to suppress thieves and the maddening distribution of huge spoils of war wealth, etc., the two sides agreed to coordinate the battle, and then swooped down together to the Halal Mountain Liukou who was desperately moving to Dengzhou Island not far from the north. Strive to use the advantage of the forbidden army's heavy troops to defeat the rogue army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers at once, and the rest is to slaughter and loot to the fullest.
The champion general, who was ordered by Gao Yu to chase down pirates and rogues, commanded an army of 100,000 to chase the pirate army fleeing north, and confidently pursued the pirates from Mizhou to Wendeng County without chasing the pirates. The pirates learned that the general of the auxiliary country blocked the passage to the north near Laizhou City, and was chased by the forbidden army behind him, so he did not dare to break the city in Laizhou and loot, so he fled to Dengzhou by detour.
How could the rabble of the rogue army be relied upon to defeat the forbidden army and save this pirate plunder?
It seems that this group of pirate troops is also crazy, and they are short of manpower and not strong in land warfare, so they whimsically try to win with more people, which is really ridiculous.
The champion general sneered and disdainfully as the auxiliary general.
His arrival in time to solve the difficulty of Wendeng, the army began from the city of Tokyo, the long march for so long, too tired, and then forcibly drive the army to chase the fear of disadvantage, the local county officials and warmly thanked the life-saving grace and expressed their willingness to swallow the blood of the labor army, the champion general gladly accepted, decided to rest here for a while, the army had the spirit, and then went north to Laizhou Mansion to meet, and then it was a big battle in the north, to exterminate the arrogant bandits, hit the arrogant pirates, and make great contributions.
Just thinking about the prospect of this matter made the two military generals and important ministers of the country excited, and they were in a beautiful mood. I don't want to be careless and plant the whole army in a daze.
After getting the 400,000 forbidden army as he wished, there was no need to fight a bloody war that he was unwilling to fight, and there was no need to consume the precious young and strong elite of the Han people on the cannibalism of the Han people, the summer harvest plan could continue to proceed smoothly, and the residents and manpower of the summer harvest on the peninsula did not have to worry, and Zhao Yue, who was hidden in Wendeng County, also grew a breath that was held in his heart, and wiped a handful of sweat.
Mizhou and Laizhou were the channels for immigrants from Shandong developed by the Cangzhao Group.
Zhao Yue led the bandit army to rob the population of Mizhou and clean up the government and wealthy households in the two prefectures, also in order to establish an immigration channel. Officials such as the prefects, military leaders, superintendents, and general judges, as well as some county officials and county lieutenants, also took this opportunity to make gradual arrangements through various means. I don't want to, but today actually played an unexpected big role.
Zhao Yue had expected that when the summer harvest plan was implemented, the imperial court would definitely do it, and he could only send the forbidden army to pursue it, but he didn't expect that Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others would actually slaughter large households with ferociousness to raise military salaries and military rations, and they could send 300,000 troops at once. He originally planned to sacrifice the immigration channel of Mizhou, which is also the place where he is most likely to calculate Gao Yu, and the forbidden army who chased and killed the medicine poured down, and he didn't want to make a huge Halal mountain rogue in the western interior, and the capital sent another 100,000 troops to kill by slaughtering and looting large families to support the military.
In this way, he judged the situation and judged the intention of Gao Yu and the auxiliary generals to march, so he could only guide and deceive the pursuing soldiers, and decisively sacrifice the passage of Laizhou again, and take care of the urgent summer harvest plan first. The future passage can only be said later.
