Chapter 60: Arrangements Before the Robbery

Jia Xu didn't seem to be interested in Yuan Yun's arrangement of Hanoi County, and all his thoughts now were basically on the reconstruction of Luoyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the construction of Luoyang is back on the track of the previous plan with Yuan Yun, and I heard that Yuan Yun just invited a guest in the Zuijin Building, and those nobles of Xudu began to invest money frantically, and now it is considered to be a solution to the urgent need, but in the long run, it is still a drop in the bucket, after all, rebuilding Luoyang is really a huge project.

"How much money can those cottages in Hanoi County snatch back?" After Jia Xu asked, he began to stare at Yuan Yun cautiously.

Yuan Yun looked at the green light in Jia Xu's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble, after this old guy became the master of Luoyang, he had reached a level of madness about money, fortunately he was not for his own money, but he was just entangled in the huge cost of various reconstruction work.

Yuan Yun cleared his mind for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "There are at least 500,000 guan, and this does not include the grain and grass hoarded by the bandits. ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and his face was flushed in an instant, as if he had found some treasure, and asked eagerly: "How could Cao Ren put such a piece of fat under his nose, doesn't he want to take a bite?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "These bandits were raised by Cao Ren, and half of the wealth they robbed back belonged to Cao Ren, so they would naturally turn a blind eye to these people, and the biggest role of these bandits was to help Cao Ren sell horses, which can also be called snatching horses from the herdsmen of Karasuma, this matter has long been investigated by the beggar gang clearly, but there are many officials involved in the court, and they naturally don't see it." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately wondered: "Since it is the shepherd who robbed Karasuma, this matter is nothing, and the old man thinks that they should be rewarded." ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said: "If these bandits only robbed the herdsmen of Karasuma, I would naturally not care, but they are wild dogs at all, they have never been picky eaters, and now even the Han people are not spared, and they are getting more and more ruthless."

After the news of Luoyang's reconstruction came out, many people began to return, there was a group of 10,000 people who returned from the north, and when they passed through Hanoi, they killed none of them, these people were all unarmed civilians, plus their goods were not much at all, but this group of thieves still did not let go, such a vicious thief, Mr. Wen He felt that it was necessary to keep their hands? ”

Although Jia Xu is known as a poisoner, he rarely targets the people, and when he heard the news, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he said coldly: "There is no need to keep any of them, even if they are used as coolies, the old man feels dirty, and Luoyang does not need the hands of such murderers to rebuild." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, and said: "Now that it's the end of summer, it's time for this group of bandits to pay tribute to Cao Ren, and what they want to hand over to Cao Ren today are tens of thousands of high-grade war horses, all of which were snatched from Karasuma's side, and I have coveted these war horses for a long time."

Moreover, Cao Ren's industry on Karasuma's side is also very large, and their family will also transport the money and grain earned by Karasuma back to Xudu at the end of summer, and my spies will report that these money and grain are at least 200,000 yuan. ”

Jia Xu gasped, he really didn't expect that he could get so many benefits by robbing Hanoi County once, since he heard the news, he didn't plan to let it go, so he said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang must sweep all those cottages when he goes, it is impossible for the bandits like chickens and dogs to pose a threat to the gunpowder army, so General Zhang must pay attention to protecting those money, grain and horses when he starts."

Luoyang's current deficit hole is too big, a little extra money can also be alleviated a lot, as for those horses to get back, we can immediately arm the gunpowder army, Yuan Hou put forward the concept of mobile troops, with the arrival of this batch of war horses, it will inevitably be able to greatly accelerate the speed of realization. ”

Zhang Liao was also startled by the green light in Jia Xu's eyes, took a half step back, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I will follow Mr. Wenhe's arrangement, but I don't know if you have any specific strategies?" ”

Jia Xu finally had a great interest in entering Hanoi County until now, and after slowly putting down the teacup in his hand, he walked to the sandbox, and then pointed to the terrain and said: "Since Yuan Hou said that the caravan of the Cao Ren family would transport money back, there are only two routes that can be taken, both of which were the routes of the Xiongnu going south back then.

The one to the north needs to pass through Bingzhou, which is still controlled by Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and if he lends Cao Ren a thousand guts, he will not choose that side, so he must go to Pingyang County, which is already controlled by us, so we only need to intercept there, which is not difficult to do.

Now we have to do two things, not only to rob the bandits in Hanoi, but also to silently intercept the caravan of Cao Ren's family, which needs to be carefully planned.

The old man suggested that after General Zhang entered Hanoi, he began to march towards Pingyang County, and after exterminating the bandits there, he immediately returned south as if he was triumphant, and then turned east halfway, and then went north around Hanoi County to suppress the bandits, and finally returned to Pingyang County after hijacking Cao Ren's caravan, and then immediately returned to Luoyang.

Remember, this time against the caravan of Cao Ren's family, there must not be a single living mouth, all those present must be killed, and the old man also suggested that the soldiers who went out this time do not need too many, and do not use gunpowder bullets, the steel crossbow is enough to deal with, but it is just a caravan of some bandits and Cao Ren's family.

And before that, we will inform the court that you have already triumphed after exterminating the bandits near Pingyang County, even if Cao Ren guessed that their caravan was robbed by us, there is nothing to be done. ”

The poisoner is the poisoner, not only arranging this matter very reasonably, but also a bit of a scoundrel, and indeed as Jia Xu said, even if Cao Ren knew about it, he was helpless, because what was written in the war report was that Zhang Liao would return immediately after exterminating the first group of bandits, and there was no mistake in the evidence at all.

The most important thing is that this battle report was issued by him Yuan Yun, the Luoyang Order, and the benefits of being a city order can finally play a role.

After Zhang Liao heard Jia Xu's arrangement, he immediately replied: "This only needs a team of 400 people, that is, the 400 special fighters trained by Yuan Hou, I have seen their battles before, and everyone's quality is very good, plus Zhao Si has been training them to survive in the wild recently, this time they go to Hanoi to walk more mountain roads and dense forests, they can give full play to these skills." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Since General Zhang wants to use these people, then bring Zhao Si with him, if he is there, you will definitely have a much smoother walk in the mountains and wilderness this time." ”

Zhang Liao had already stood up before Yuan Yun finished speaking, and then arched his hand and said: "Now I will return to the barracks, eat and live with these soldiers, and as soon as the imperial edict arrives, we will set off." ”

Zhang Liao left, but Jia Xu chose to stay, at the moment he just tasted the tea in the cup with a silent face, and he was not interested in vegetable and fruit snacks, and sat so quietly all the time.

Yuan Yun was sending Zhang Liao out at the moment, and only Xiaoliu was left in the house to entertain him, and the old and the young just stayed quietly, but they didn't look embarrassed.

Chang'an's Duan Xuan has been moving constantly, although Luoyang sent a gunpowder army to sweep away his water thieves in Dahe, but soon Duan Xuan was forming a fleet again, the purpose was obvious, that is, to connect with Hanoi.

And I learned from Mr. Cheng Yu that Duan Xuan often had dealings with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, so it seems that a big net for Luoyang is taking shape, which is really worrying.

After a long time, Jia Xu suddenly asked Xiao Liu: "What does your Hou Ye think of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong?" ”

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying: "These things should not be small, but the lord has confessed, and there is no need to hide anything from Mr. Wenhe, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it, my lord seems to have never had a good impression of Zhang Lu, and he has also cultivated a powerful force in the Hanzhong territory, and now their cottage has a scale of fifty or sixty thousand people, and the armament is also quite complete, and the Hanzhong that is often stirred up is not peaceful." ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Zhang Lu's line seems to be worry-free." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Liu and asked: "Since Hanzhong has already made arrangements, your father-in-law will definitely not let go of Chang'an, and tell the old man how your father-in-law plans over there?" ”

Xiao Liu buckled the door of his head, for the sake of embarrassment: "This little one is not very clear, the lord has not clearly explained anything, but the people of Chang'an seem to dislike Duan Xuan very much, my lord of my family provoked Duan Xuan and the people of Chang'an City before leaving, Duan Xuan estimated that he still has a headache." ”

Jia Xu patted his thigh at this time and smiled: "Your lord is really a treacherous and ghost-like guy, he started to plan so early, the old man admires him, so it seems that the problem of Chang'an has also been solved, and now there is only one Hanoi left to be slaughtered, this time I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the scourge of your lord, hehe, the old man is worried in vain." ”

After speaking, Jia Xu was a little surprised in his heart, why was Yuan Yun, a young man who was not yet twenty years old, so scheming, that he could have made so many arrangements so early, and he didn't know what kind of demon this young man would become in the future?

"The afterlife is terrifying." Jia Xu sighed secretly.

Yuan Yun happened to return at this moment, and when he heard Jia Xu and Xiaoliu talking, he immediately continued: "Cao Ren will not let us go so easily, because when he got Luoyang's self-control, this product did not object at all, and he didn't even say a word, there must be something strange in the middle, if I don't make arrangements early, it is not equivalent to becoming meat on the board, this is not possible, I still have a lot of wives and children to support, but I can't be sloppy." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun sat down at the big round table, and then looked at Jia Xu opposite and said: "Even if Cao Ren doesn't provoke us this time, I definitely don't plan to stay, everyone is not in Xudu now, so when you get outside, you can rely on your ability."

Although Duan Xuan is martial and brave, he lacks patience, relying on Cao Ren's influence in the imperial court, this person is not worried, what he has to worry about is Sima Yi, this guy is now in Luoyang, our actions will be more or less detected by him, it is very difficult to avoid this person.

This also proves the other party's old scheming, Sima Yi came to Luoyang without any real power position, it seems to be reckless, but in fact, it has played a great role in diverting the system, just now sent General Zhang Liao out, and the two of us are still having a headache How to avoid Sima Yi. ”

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this: "What's so difficult about this? As long as the time comes, send him back to Xudu to deliver the documents, and his duty is this, so there is no way to refuse. ”

Yuan Yun was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Good! ”
