Chapter 178: Suppressing and appeasing together

Hearing this, Kuroko seemed to be a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Then, what should we do?" Do you want to talk to the big boss and let him think of a way quickly! Whether we want to fight or peace, we have to come up with a charter! To tell you the truth, there are some brothers down there now, who are secretly worried about this matter! ”

"Oh? Are there any brothers at the bottom who are also afraid of the Huashan Army coming? Wu Hui was stunned for a moment and asked.

This was something he didn't expect, and he thought that in the entire cottage, he was the only one who was full of worries about the Huashan Army. However, if this is the case, I am afraid it is a good thing.

"Of course, this time we went down the mountain with a lot of brothers, although it was said that the food was snatched back, but everyone fought with the soldiers of the Huashan Army. There are only 200 people on the other side, and it is said that they are still recruits, but as a result, we were stunned that there were more than 400 casualties, so can you not worry! ”

"Yes! Huashan's new recruits are already so powerful, not to mention their veterans, they are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles! If we really do, it won't be easy for us to stop them. It's best for everyone to be prepared, eat more if you are usually reluctant to eat, drink everything you are reluctant to drink, and it's best not to stay! Once the Huashan Army fights, it will be time to fight to the death, don't let these things become relics! Wu Hui's heart moved, and he sighed.

"I don't want to die! Is there a way to save us? As soon as Kuroko heard this, he immediately said nervously.

Everyone is afraid of death! Not to mention these bandits who have today and no tomorrow, have nothing to do all day, and have no purpose in life.

"I can't help this, after all, it depends on the decision of the big boss, if he wants to fight, we naturally have to fight to the end. If he doesn't want to fight, then we have to follow! Wu Hui shook his head and said with a straight face.

After finishing speaking, regardless of Kuroko's expression, he turned around and walked directly towards his residence. Leaving Kuroko alone, he stood in place and was stunned for a while before leaving.

Although Wu Hui has ideas in his heart, he will not be stupid enough to say it to others. Although he could see that Kuroko respected him a lot, but this was a matter of his own life, if he spread it around and was known by Hu Da, he was afraid that he would die faster.

However, this incident reminded him that he had no clue about the escape plan, but he came up with a little eyebrow.

In the valley of Qiao Mountain, after three or four days of slow marching, Li Erhei at this time finally slowly approached the place where Hu Da's cottage was located. More than twenty miles away from the cottage, he let the army quietly hide.

"How? What happened to the bandits? Li Erhei asked the spy beside him.

"Everything was calm, and the other party didn't seem to be defenseless at all. However, when the subordinates investigated, they found that the other party was loose and tight, and many critical places were arranged to monitor the sentry detectives! If we want to touch each other without alarming each other~ to the bottom of the cottage, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult! We have to use the momentum of thunder to get rid of those sentry agents! This spy was not a scout in the army, but was sent by Tu Qi, and replied at this time.

"What's going on over there with Hu Tian and Zhou Tong? Were they in place? Hearing this, Li Erhei couldn't help frowning, and then asked.

"I can't know for the time being, after all, we've been in the mountain for a few days, and the news from the outside can't be passed on now. However, tomorrow is the day when the bandit village will be attacked, and presumably they will arrive, even if it is late, it will not be too bad! ”

Where the bandit village is located, there are Qiaoshan and Qishan mountain ranges, this place runs more than 100 miles from east to west, and the vertical and horizontal are also dozens of miles. Such a range, with dense forests and numerous valleys and rivers, can be imagined to be difficult to march in.

This is also the reason why Hu Da has been entrenched in this place for many years, but he has always lived well. Because for a force like Fu Qin, this kind of small force can not threaten its own rule, and if you want to defeat the other party, it will cost too much. No matter how you calculate it, it's not a cost-effective deal!

For them, the most important thing is to fight for the world, and these bandits are just a disease of ringworm. Once the world is calm, there is no problem in dealing with it. Of course, after what happened to the Huashan Army, I'm afraid they wouldn't think like this.

"That's all there is to it! The heralds ordered the soldiers to rest in place and not make a sound, especially fireworks are strictly prohibited! The army is ready to spend the night, and tomorrow they will rush to the bandits. Li Erhei was silent for a moment, and finally had to accept this reality.

When the army moved, Li Xin, who was in Chang'an City, did not pay too much attention to this battle. After all, in his opinion, he has mobilized so many soldiers and horses, and also dispatched three generals, if he can't even handle that little bandit, then he should wash and sleep.

At this time, his main focus was still on the development of commerce. The salt ponds in the east of the river have now been taken over, but the problem is that the salt production is unlikely to fully recover for a while.

After all, Xu Fuzi and the others still have to be familiar with this process first! Not to mention that it is winter, and under the cold climate, it is not easy to dig pond salt.

"Yiju County recovered relatively quickly, and Liu Yi's group was familiar with these things after all. Therefore, now Lu Kun and the three of them have already started to sell salt, and the first batch of grain has been directly put into storage! It's not a lot, but it's already a source of water, and it's going to get more and more slowly! Wang Meng came to report on the work, and he was very satisfied with this progress.

"That's good, with the opening of sales channels and the steady growth of salt sales, the demand for salt merchants will naturally increase! The key is to look at Hedong salt! Li Xin nodded, this can be regarded as good news.

"Master Xu is doing a good job over there, everything is going on in an orderly manner. There is no problem with the salt used in Guanzhong Hedong for its own use. This can be regarded as a solution to one of our previous problems! The situation in Hedong has gradually stabilized, and the fields in each county have been divided. In my opinion, Peng Lin's 3,000 cavalry can also withdraw most of them first, this level is our foundation after all, and we must focus on protecting this place first! Wang Meng proposed.

"Penglin, I will withdraw two thousand men and horses, so that the land east of the river will not be empty, and there will not be too many soldiers and horses. Especially the horse bandits on Xia Yang's side, without Peng Lin's cavalry, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with! Li Xin almost agreed to this opinion, so he agreed without hesitation.

"The two bandits of Chen Cang and Zhou Zhi, have you arranged them properly? Is it going to be left for the end of the year, or is it going to be disposed of before the New Year? ”

"This time to suppress the bandits, I am ready to use them to suppress and appease, and resolutely eliminate the two places in the north! The two places on the south side can be appeased, and if they can't, they will be cleaned. In short, it is naturally best to be able to not use the sword soldiers, and the army will cost countless people when they move! Li Xin said slowly.

"Now the people of each county have been given the fields, and most of the people who go up the mountains and land the grass are the people in the vicinity. In the past, they couldn't get by, so they went up the mountain, but now, they can start from this aspect, and use the benefits of the fields to attract them down the mountain! Wang Meng thought for a moment and suggested.

"That's what I mean, I've already handed over this matter to Tu Qi! Soon, there will be good news! ”

When Li Xin and the others were talking about the suppression of bandits, they were in the Taibai Mountain, which is located south of Chencang County, and at this time, several bandits gathered together to discuss important matters.

"I'm going to bring you here, and I think everyone knows what's going on. The Huashan army sent a messenger up the mountain, wanting us to go down the mountain and return to our hometown and settle the countryside. Let's all share your opinions on this matter! There were a total of five people in the room, and sitting at the top was the host Yuan Old Man who gathered everyone this time, he was the oldest among the several, and he was already fifty-three this year, so he glanced at a few people at this time and said slowly.

"I've seen the envoys too, but we haven't had any dealings with this Huashan army, so I don't know what kind of people they are! However, the other party seems to be very sincere. As soon as Old Man Yuan's words fell, a middle-aged man in his forties said.

"Brother Tieshan, what the other party said is good, I'm afraid that after we go down the mountain, it will be impossible to come back. It's not like this hasn't happened before! Behold! Let's be cautious! The person sitting across from the middle-aged man stood up at this time and said! Obviously, they are very distrustful of the Huashan Army.

"Lao Zhang is right, behind each of us, there are hundreds of lives, this matter must not be ignored! The best! Let's first understand the situation under the mountain before deciding! What do you say? The other two men both said at this time, which meant that they agreed with the third person's opinion.

"That being said, there are some people in our village who have come back from down the mountain! They said that now Guanzhong is dividing the land, many people have been divided, and the Huashan army has also formulated new laws and regulations to reduce taxes. In today's Guanzhong, the people praise the Huashan Army! The man who was called Brother Iron Mountain continued.

"Hey, Guan Tieshan, you are talking to the Huashan Army everywhere today, isn't it that you have privately accepted their benefits, and you can't say anything here?" Hearing this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but sneer.

"Phew, when did I receive their benefits? I'm just telling the truth! I think about everyone, but I am suspicious of this, could it be that I forced everyone to go down the mountain? Now that the cold winter is coming, there is a lack of food and clothing on the mountain, how do you say everyone can persevere? Lao Zhang's words suddenly made Guan Tieshan furious.
