99 Taihang Mountain, the overall situation has been decided
"What's your name?" Shang Wu asked Wang Er. The reason why he was able to quickly defeat the bandits of the eagle's beak cliff this time was due to Wang Er's great credit. Moreover, Shang Wu learned from Li Yun that this person was still a hunter, and when he climbed the cliff, he didn't even use a rope, this is a good seedling, a good seedling for special operations, and the Orion in the mountains will have more various means of jungle warfare.
"Sir, my name is Wang Er." Wang Er replied.
"Hmm. Very good, you have a good ability, join our Red Turban Army, right? Shang Wu said.
"This." Wang Er hesitated.
"What? Don't want to? Shang Wu asked.
"Sir, I want to participate, you avenged my great revenge, but, my mother, my mother is still alone, and everyone in the village has been killed. My mother has no one to take care of. Wang Er said worriedly.
"Hehe, you can take your mother over, it's not easy to say such a thing, you have a bite to eat, your mother is not at ease." Shang Wu said.
"Thank you, sir. Take your mother over, and you will be blessed. The base has everything, and maybe I can marry you a daughter-in-law. Li Yun said with a smile.
"Sir, I'm kowtowing to you." Saying that Wang Er was about to kowtow, the frightened Shang Wu hurriedly helped the other party up, this was a big gift, Shang Wu felt that he couldn't stand it, and then quickly got Wang Er up. Then Wang Er took the people of the Red Turban Army to pick up the other party's mother.
As the team moves on, Shang Wu and Jia Xu begin to discuss their experiences after the war is over, as well as a series of future battle plans.
"The terrain here is extremely desirable, and our army must send heavy troops to guard here. In this way, our army can advance and capture Jizhou. Defending can stabilize the rear of our army. Jia Xu said. The benefits of occupying Taihang Mountain are too many. Jia Xu believed that Shangwu would definitely be able to see this. And what Shangwu is concerned about now is how to occupy the entire Shangdang Basin. Their safety is paramount.
"Next, I plan to let the 12th Infantry Regiment expand alone, they seem to be very suitable for the environment here, Wang Er is a good example, with such a foundation of popular support, their offensive and capture of Shangdang County will be very good." Shang Wu said.
"Well, the creation of the base area is also based on the 12th Infantry Regiment, and in my opinion, the 7th and 8th Infantry Regiments can stay, on the one hand, to expand their troops, and on the other hand, to establish a new base area." Jia Xu said.
"I see the name is Taihang, Taihang Mountain Base Area, in this way, they can be expanded, if they do a good job, I will give them a brigade, whoever expands the number of people, the base area created is large, I will give him the number big." Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Once this place is stable, we can move part of our arsenal over, and then our situation will be much better." Shang Wu said. Shang Wu knew that the size of the arsenal would become larger and larger, and it would become very inappropriate to build it on the plains, but it would be enough to build it in the mountains to ensure their safety, and there might be more raw materials available here. Although the transportation is somewhat inconvenient, it is safe.
"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Jia Xu also knows that industry is an outlet for them to solve all agricultural problems, and without this outlet, the excessive agricultural labor force will not be transferred and upgraded, and the society will still not be stable.
"Look, sir!" Just when Shang Wu and Jia Xu were discussing. An officer reported some special situations in Shangwu, and some villagers appeared in the mountains and forests, and their clothes were very simple, and many people could say that they were not clothed. Yellow muscles on the face. The leader is a white-haired old man, who doesn't look young anymore.
"General, please stay. General, please stay. The old man said excitedly. He was followed by a few young men holding some jars of wine.
"Old man. What's the matter? Shang Wu asked.
"General." The old man said excitedly.
"The general has put an end to the calamity for us, except for one evil. I'm here to thank you, General. "The old man looked excited.
"Sir, this blind man Chen is a tyrant here, and he has been harming the villagers for many years. The officers and soldiers have never come to exterminate them. A captain officer on the side explained.
"Oh. It's a pity that the blind man Chen was blown up by our **. You cannot be allowed to use this thief. Shang Wu said.
"The general invited this bowl of wine, this is the only piece of my heart to wait." The old man said excitedly, the bowl is very large, and it looks like there are a lot of them. Shang Wu smiled wryly.
"So be it. Old man, that big vat, mixed with water, hero, it's not my credit alone, this is the credit of all the Red Turban Army, our Red Turban Army is doing this for all talents, they should all drink this bowl of wine, I, one person can't represent them. Shang Wu said.
"This." The old man was a little hesitant.
"Alright. That's it, old man. We have received your heart. We are also for ourselves. For more people who are suffering and poor. Shang Wu said. Hearing this, the villagers were moved.
"General, this baby, you take it away. Let him follow the team. An old lady said and took a teenager out.
"Auntie, I can't help it, this child is still young, and it will be better in the future. I hereby declare that the heavy taxes of the imperial court in the past are no longer practiced here. Taxes have eased a lot, and there are many more people to help you in the future. In addition, you will be given food assistance to get through this first. Shang Wu said. Have one of the officers on the side take notes. Seeing how poor the people are here. Shang Wu is distressed. These people don't know how to survive. The Eastern Han government ignored them and left them to fend for themselves.
"General, good man." The villagers are very grateful to Shangwu when they get a little favor.
"Hurry up. Get up. It took a long time for Shangwu Jiaxu and others to persuade the villagers. That's it, the villagers still feel ashamed, they forced their children to send their children to the team, and Shangwu had no choice but to accept a few.
And along the way, such a thing was spread by the villagers, and more people supported the Red Turban Army. Some villages took the initiative to raise the red banner to welcome the arrival of the Red Turban Army.
See what happened. Jia Xu was very excited.
"My Red Turban Army is in Taihang Mountain, and the overall situation has been decided." Jia Xu said. Jia Xu knew that with the support of the people in the Taihang Mountains, it was already difficult to drive the Red Turban Army away.
