Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Two months is the official decree of the imperial court, and all the bandits along the road must be eliminated within two months.

There are two reasons: one is that the imperial court has just fought a war, and there are not many supplies to supply, to put it bluntly, Situ Yuan Kui planned to let the Han Emperor take out the internal money like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but this time Liu Hong did not agree; Second, it is already the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and it will enter the midwinter period in two months, which is absolutely not suitable for the use of troops at this time.

Zhu Jun almost argued on the basis of reason, in fact, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thieves swarmed in various places, many bandits occupied the mountains as kings, and the law and order of the Han Dynasty almost fell to the bottom. The key is the largest group, the thieves cruising near the White Wave Valley, have been found to have a relationship with the Yellow Turban Thieves, but I am afraid that it is the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

In the end, there was direct intelligence that there were internal problems in the Southern Xiongnu, and many patriarchs who were not very obedient to Qiangqu Shan Yu might connive at the clansmen to go south to fight the grass valley. Li Ming also had the intention of dealing with this group of people when he went north this time. As long as it enters the middle of winter, then the Huns naturally have no way to fight, so they can only retreat obediently, but Liu Hong's meaning is more inclined to give them a taste!

What is really depressing is that such a major task is actually deducted to a great extent in terms of materials. According to what Yuan Kui meant: these things have not happened yet, and it is unknown whether they will happen. It's a waste to issue supplies to the highest standards for something that hasn't happened yet!

Li Ming, who got the news, thinks that this Yuan Kui is specifically against him? Is it because, earlier, I rejected his gift? But didn't Zhu Jun say that this would be valued by Yuan Valve?!

The doubts in my heart have not yet been resolved, and it is already close to the time to set off. Li Ming could only put this problem aside, first put it aside, gathered the soldiers and counted the logistics materials, and with an order, the whole army began to set off for the north.

It's just bullying some rogues or bandits or something, and the old pawn can't be interested at all. You must know that the Yellow Turban wrestlers had to fight with them at the beginning, but now they have been replaced by thieves who are not in the climate, which is naturally not enough to see.

Only those recruits, it is rare to go into battle for the first time, and they are naturally extremely excited, and many people can't say that they still fantasize about making meritorious contributions and getting promoted as soon as possible. Only Xu Huang didn't show anything, he was decent, he just did his own thing.

"Report, a group of strongmen was found fifty miles ahead...... I've been defeated! "On the third day of the expedition, I left Henan Yin and entered Hongnong County, just past Shaanxi County, which was near Sanmenxia City in later generations, and the scouts came back to report.

"How's the record?" Li Ming was a little speechless, thinking that an enemy would finally appear, but who knew that he would be defeated by Scout Shi.

"Less than a hundred people, I charged at a moment, and they completely collapsed, killing twenty enemies, taking fifty prisoners, and finally more than ten people escaped into the mountains and forests without a trace! I won a great victory, and there were no casualties! The scout replied.

"Zhicai, it is said that these guys are not thieves, you say that it is impossible to sell them directly?" Li Ming looked at Xi Zhicai.

"It's not taboo, it's just that most buyers will be afraid of being strongmen, so few people will buy it. If you want to buy it, you will definitely lower the price, and in the end you won't be able to sell it at any price, but I'm afraid that it will be sold cheaply! Xi Zhicai replied.

"Let's go all the way north, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of similar captives, so let's sell them cheaply!" Li Ming waved his hand, and if the value was insufficient, he would pile it up with quantity.

"My subordinates will arrange it!" Xi Zhicai gave up.

However, before selling, it is natural to torture and torture them, at least to find out the news of their nest, otherwise it will be meaningless. Half a day later, the old nest in the mountains was also broken by Xiao Yao's troops, and the rest of the party was captured in one fell swoop without much effort.

"In their stronghold, there was no surplus food, not much five baht, and no goods. Obviously, this group of people has just fallen into the grass and has no income yet. However, there are more than 500 old, weak, women and children combined, and it is estimated that there will be one or two dollars after all of them are sold. After counting the harvest, Xi Zhicai said helplessly.

After deducting the expenses during the sale, it is probably only a few hundred yuan, which is equivalent to making hard-earned money.

More than 550 people could only sell for one or two yuan in the end, an average of less than four cents per person, and the lowliness of human life was almost vividly manifested at this time. However, if it is not sold, the imperial court will have no place to store such a group of prisoners, and they will eventually be killed, and in the end, they will not be able to earn a penny, and they will have to pay for one or two meals.

"No wonder the local government didn't go to the levy, and before they could rush to kill, these guys scattered and fled, and then gathered back after the government was gone. Bother to extinguish it, in the end, there is no benefit, let alone credit, even if I am the local county commander, I am afraid that I may not be able to care about them! Li Ming smiled bitterly.

In this way, all the way west, almost as long as there is a den of bandits or bandits, Li Ming directly swept over. Most of the bandits have not been in the grass for a long time, and sometimes they have not yet been requisitioned, and they have directly led people down the mountain to beg for mercy, just hoping that Li Ming will give them a way to live. Looking at this group of bandits with yellow faces and thin muscles, like homeless people, Li Ming also lost interest in this crusade.

"Your lord doesn't need to be so depressed!" Xi Zhicai smiled, obviously anticipating Li Ming's reaction, "There will always be so many thieves who have accumulated for years, but they are in the deep mountains, and the terrain is not favorable to us, so it is not easy to conquer!" ”

"We will always encounter this situation in the future, not to mention anything else, the group of guys in Taihang Mountain will never be restless! Even if it's a drill in advance, it doesn't hurt to get the boys used to mountain warfare! Li Ming finally got interested.

After another two days, the army went north and had entered the Anyi area of Hedong County, and Dong Feifei, as the guard of Hedong County, was naturally in this Anyi County. may have learned that Li Ming had passed, so he sent someone to report and invited Li Ming to the banquet.

Li Ming spoke from above, and Xi Zhicai stepped forward to persuade him: "Lord Mingjian, Dong Zhuo is the county guard in the end, it's not easy to offend!" ”

He knew Li Ming, and it seemed that he had always called Dong Zhuo Dong Feifei, although he didn't know what the allusion was, but he could also see that Li Ming didn't have a good impression of Dong Zhuo. But now in someone else's territory, it is to come forward to remind you.

"Dong Zhuo and I don't have anything dirty, since people invite, then I naturally can't refuse! Inform down, tonight is stationed outside Anyi County, everyone have a good rest! Li Ming knew what Xi Zhicai was worried about, said with a smile, and then ordered behind him.

"Whoa!" The generals received orders one after another, and then passed on the military orders.

By noon, Anyi County had already appeared in sight, and at this moment, Dong Zhuo was actually guarding the gate directly, followed by a literati, who could be by his side, and I don't know if it was his son-in-law Li Ru?

"Riyao Xian's nephew, it's rare to come to Hedong County, Dong has already prepared a banquet, come and have a drink?" Dong Zhuo has a bit of the rough and arrogant character of a Northwest man.

"Since Uncle Shi invited, how could he refuse to be a junior? It's just that Riyao is still in the army, and I ask Uncle Shi's subordinates to be merciful, and don't let Li go out sideways when the time comes! Li Ming smiled, and did not call Dong Zhuo's official position, but changed it to Uncle Shi.

"No, no, it's rare to come once, if I don't drink enough, others still say that I don't greet well!" Dong Zhuo didn't do it.

"Well, the little nephew can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!" Li Ming smiled bitterly, turned over and dismounted.

"Haha, it's still interesting to be a virtuous nephew, not as twisted as those children of the family!" Dong Zhuo suddenly burst out laughing.
