After Zhang Yi asked Shi Xiu to deliver the letter, he returned to Shouchun with 4,000 soldiers and Liu Ye, as well as some wealthy families who were willing to move to Shouchun.

After returning to Shouchun, Zhang Yi began to plan for the future of Shouchun.

With the addition of Liu Ye, Zhang Yi's recovery work in Shouchun has been accelerated a lot. This guy is really capable, especially with an aristocratic temperament, which makes the people very willing to listen to him.

That's the charisma! At this point, Li Shangyin is much worse than Liu Ye, after all, Li Shangyin was born poor, and he can't raise an aristocratic temperament in a short period of time.

Feudal society has the truth of the existence of feudal society, and when people are still very ignorant, they need some people who are not ignorant to lead. This saves a lot of resources and keeps the whole race going.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and absolute power will lead to absolute corruption. If a leader does something wrong, the consequences can be equally catastrophic.

Therefore, Zhang Yi always warned himself to be vigilant, he must keep a clear head and not make any fatal decisions.

When the time came to November, Zhang Yi didn't see Lu Su coming to defect, nor did he hear Liu Ye say that Lu Su had a letter, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that his reputation is still insufficient! Otherwise, this would not have happened.

But now Zhang Yi is very content, and with Liu Ye's help, he is also handy in handling political affairs. Moreover, in addition to the land of Shouchun, Juchao, and Hefei counties in his hands, the other counties of Jiujiang County have already expressed their submission, at least on the surface, and sent these two months of taxes, although not a lot, but at least better than nothing.

Although he now has soldiers and horses, but he has no food and grass, and without the support of these taxes, he would have to disband many of his troops.

In the past two months, Zhang Yi has not let the army idle, in addition to training, it is to exterminate thieves. Some of the bandit nests of small forces have been hollowed out by Zhang Yi.

As for those thieves on a relatively large scale, Zhang Yi has not moved for the time being. Because of the lack of intelligence, Zhang Yi felt the disadvantages of insufficient intelligence at this time.

He quickly asked Shi Xiu and Shi Qian, and the two of them formed an intelligence department, with Shi Qian as the chief officer and Shi Xiu as the adjutant. Although Shi Xiu is much stronger than Shi Qian in terms of force and resourcefulness, Zhang Yi will definitely not let Shi Xiu be above Shi Qian.

If it's a crooked novel, it's definitely no problem to be directly appointed as a big official. But the reality is, if you are not famous and have no merit, why should you become a big official as soon as you come? Even if "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" forcibly promoted Zhuge Liang's official position to a military advisor, it still caused dissatisfaction among Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's first official position under Liu Bei was only in charge of finances, and then he was promoted step by step to the prime minister of Shu.

Shi Qian and Shi Xiu led their subordinates to continuously collect intelligence, draw a topographical map of Jiujiang County, and found that there were bandits, so they sent someone to inform Master Shang and his apprentices, and Master Shang and his apprentices led people to exterminate them.

Zhang Yi didn't go to suppress the bandits himself, he wanted to train the soldiers, and the matter of accumulating merit in suppressing bandits should be left to Master Shang's apprentices.

After November, Zhang Yi's soldiers were already training a little bit, so he took them to Hefei. He wanted to see how the soldiers trained by Di Qing were, but he couldn't, so he transferred soldiers from his own command and exchanged them with Di Qing.

Di Qing lived in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the training of the army was all in charge of special personnel, these people did not lead soldiers to fight, but were specifically responsible for training soldiers.

At first, the situation was not bad, because the people who trained the soldiers were all aware of the military affairs, and the people who trained them were all fierce soldiers. However, later the drawbacks appeared, and the forbidden army was abolished.

However, as soon as Zhang Yi arrived in Hefei, he received a military report that the bandits Zhang Duo and Xu Gan had contacted Yuan Shu's old subordinates, Lei Bo and Chen Lan, to attack Shouchun.

Zhang Yi's suppression of bandits during this period of time obviously made these big force bandits feel uneasy, in order to prevent Zhang Yi from breaking them all, they decided to start and take Zhang Yi's old nest first.

After Zhang Yi received the military report, he couldn't help but be happy. He has not moved these big bandits, not because he wants to keep them, because these big bandits either occupy the mountains or occupy the city, Zhang Yi has no absolute advantage, and he does not dare to move them easily.

Well, now that these gangsters have sent themselves to the door, it is just right to deal with them together.

So Zhang Yi asked people to send a letter to Di Qing and asked him to bring two thousand men and horses to support. He himself took the lead and returned to Shouchun.

After Zhang Yi arrived at Shouchun, the four bandits had already surrounded Shouchun. But Zhang Yi didn't worry about the situation in the city at all, Liu Ye and Li Shangyin were left in the city by him, and there was no problem for the two of them to organize defense.

Zhang Yi sent someone to deliver a letter to Master Shang's apprentice, asking him to wait for his news to join the battlefield.

Two days later, Di Qing also took two thousand people to feel Shouchun. Zhang Yi ordered Di Qing to defend in the northwest of Shouchun, and let Master Shang defend in the northeast of Shouchun.

Then Zhang Yi attacked the bandit army in the south of the city, and these bandit troops were not only undisciplined, but also greedy for life and afraid of death. In the face of the soldiers trained by Zhang Yi, they were basically collapsed at the touch of a button.

Zhang Yi drove the bandit army to the north of Shouchun, and the monk Di Qing and his apprentice strictly prevented the bandits from escaping to the east and west. Successfully drove more than 20,000 bandits to the north of Shouchun, and formed a pocket with the "U" shaped river bend poured into the water.

The food brought by the four bandits was basically seized by Zhang Yi, and the more than 20,000 bandits had no food in their hands, and the attack was inevitably Shouchun Jiancheng, and the north, east, and west were all water. Although it is now winter, because of the geographical location, the water has not yet fully frozen, and many bandits who want to wade and escape are frozen to death as soon as they get out of the water.

The bandits saw that this was not a solution, so they wanted Zhang Yi to surrender.

As a result, the four bandit leaders were unwilling, so they were killed by their men. The bandits also killed each other for a while, and in the end all those who opposed the surrender were killed, and the rest surrendered.

"Congratulations to the host, the host's forces have killed historical celebrities Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan, and summoned imaginary characters Shi Jin, Li Jun, Han Tao, and Tang Long."

"Shi Jin, Li Jun, Han Tao, and Tang Long all belong to the characters of "Water Margin", Shi Jin is now the commander of Di Qing's subordinates, Li Jun is now the commander of Li Hongzhang's subordinates, Han Tao is now the chief of Shang's apprentices, and Tang Long is now the craftsman of Li Shangyin's subordinates."

"Huh! It's really impartial! One person sends one. But how can this multi-faceted and multi-faceted person be summoned? And that Zheng Bao too, I haven't heard of them. ”

Unexpectedly, the system really answered, "Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan are all characters in the annals of history, and they are naturally considered historical celebrities." ”
