Chapter Seventy-Two: Suppression of Bandits

"The Modao Army is a heavy infantry, and Modao can also be called a horse sabre, although it is only an infantry army, it is the nemesis of the cavalry!" Liu Wei has a strong confidence, and his words are full of confidence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But there was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the civil and military officials. No, not at all.

In the first generation of the Han Dynasty, except for the Weihuo period, it has been invaded by foreign tribes, and there is nothing to be done. Why? It is because of the abundance of horses in foreign races, every adult foreign male. Basically, they all grew up on horseback, plus the aggressive Tianxing of foreign races, like the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qianghu, adult men do not need to be trained, they are qualified cavalrymen.

Coupled with the characteristics of cavalry coming and going like the wind, foreign cavalry often entered the Han Dynasty to plunder, and the people could only be helpless.

Up to now, there are nine counties in the state, and there are four and a half counties of land, which has been reduced to the territory of foreign races to herd horses. And Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous servants can only be comparable to foreign cavalry and resist foreign aggression.

The elite cavalry like Bai Ma Yicong can only be compared with foreign cavalry. Your Majesty now says that a heavy infantry is actually the nemesis of cavalry? By what? Just with this strange knife?

Liu Wei saw that the eyes of the civil and military forces revealed deep disbelief, and even Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi, the two fierce generals who trusted him incomparably, were deeply suspicious.

As for Yang Miaozhen, who was newly joined by Liu Bian, a pair of big watery eyes looked at Liu Bian with a wink, as if to say again, are you kidding me?

"You still don't believe me? The Tang Empire, with its Modao Army, has fought all the way to Central Asia, and the alien cavalry defeated is countless! If it weren't for Li Xianzhong's defeat of Lu Bu's army this time, he would have captured 20,000 enemy soldiers! The system rewards 200 points, and I can buy the manufacturing technology of this Mo knife in the system mall! I don't know when this strange knife will come out! You still don't believe in the power of this Mo Dao! Liu Wei smiled bitterly in his heart.

But this statement, Liu Wei naturally couldn't say it.

So Liu Wei sacrificed the statement he had thought of a long time ago, and said with a wry smile: "I know that you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either." Defeating cavalry with troops is unprecedented! But this Mo Dao was dreamed of by Emperor Gaozu! ”

"What? This is actually His Majesty's Majesty? ”

The ministers were taken aback.

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Last night, when Gao Zu came to me in a dream, he told me that the Han Dynasty was bullied by foreign races except for the era of Emperor Wu, when he had the ability to resist foreign races. Up to now, half of the state has fallen into the hands of foreigners, and Gaozu can't bear it, so he gave this Mo knife manufacturing technology. ”

"I originally thought it was a dream, but when I woke up, my mind was extremely clear, and the Mo knife seemed to be engraved in my mind. I actually drew it! ”

In ancient times, the theory of ghosts and gods was very popular, and when Liu Wei said this, old ministers such as Cai Yong and Lu Zhi were suddenly overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, in this way, this Mo sword was given by Gao Zu, and the infantry was used to find the cavalry. Since then, my Han has a sharp weapon to defend against foreign cavalry! ”

"Gaozu Tuomeng, it seems that the revival of the Han Dynasty is hopeful!"

"I don't believe what I say, but a dead ancestor believes what he says? It seems that my prestige is not enough! Liu said in his heart. But he didn't have the same knowledge as this stubborn old minister. Liu Wei smiled and asked, "So you agreed?" ”

"Since it was given by Gaozu Tuomeng, the ministers are willing to form the Modao Army?"

"Okay, since you have no objections, then there are a thousand Mo swords made by Gong Cai Gongjian, as well as armor and armor! In addition, Xiahoudun selected thousands of strong people in the army to form the Modao Army! The other generals will fully cooperate! Liu Wei decided.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai Yong, Xiahoudun gave up his hand.

"The Mo Dao Army is a secret weapon against foreign races, and the production process of the Mo Dao must also be strictly kept secret, and it must not be leaked out!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the old minister must be cautious!" Since it was a sharp weapon given by Gaozu Tuomeng, Cai Yong didn't dare to be careless.

"It is gratifying to show loyalty to defeat Lu Bu, but you can't be proud, you can't slack off in anything, especially the work of Jinyiwei! In addition, in the last battle of Feilong Mountain, although 30,000 black mountain thieves were exterminated, there were still many bandits in Taiyuan. Xiaokuan, tell you about the situation! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wei Xiaokuan bowed his hand, and after organizing the language, he said: "Taiyuan, since the death of Shi Ding Yuan, the Taiyuan army was absorbed by Dong Zhuo, and Taiyuan fell into a situation where no one was governed!" ”

"For more than two months, homeless people, bandits, and Montenegrin thieves from Jizhou! Taiyuan originally had 300,000 people, but in less than two months, less than 150,000 were registered! The population has been reduced by a full half! ”

"Most of them have become homeless, a few have become bandits, and some have starved to death!"

After hearing this, Liu Wei frowned and said: "Bingzhou, except for the areas occupied by foreign races, originally had more than 1.4 million people!" But today it's less than half of it! There are white bones everywhere on the roadside, which is really my fault! ”

"Population is the foundation, and without population, no amount of land can flourish! Xiaokuan, Cai Gong is responsible for supervising the construction of Mo Dao, and you will carry out the work of collecting the displaced people! Restore the livelihood of Taiyuan! I'm afraid it's going to be hard for you this time! Liu Wei stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache, he thought that there were enough people, but when he really used it, he found that it was not enough at all.

"Next time, we must summon a political expert to come out, and after the situation in Xihe and Shangjun is calm, Cao Cao and Xun You must be transferred back, the two of them govern a county, it's too condescending! By the way, there is Xun Yu! You must ask Xun You to pull him over! Liu Wei thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, now there are many bandits in Taiyuan, except for the Yu Poison Party that Your Majesty exterminated, but there are hundreds of thousands of other bandits! Please send troops to encircle and suppress it! The veteran Lu Zhi saw that all the ministers were in trouble, so he took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Although there are many bandits in Taiyuan, they are all rabble, and they can't work together! You only need to divide the troops to encircle and suppress, and you can break them one by one! Wei Xiaokuan proposed.

"Well, now our army has not much food left, and after collecting the displaced people, there is no extra food for them to eat! And if the bandits are solved, there will be a lot of food and money, and after defeating the bandits, you can provide for everything you need! This is the war that feeds the war! The bandits are too scattered, and if they concentrate their forces, it will be too time-consuming! I also think it's better to break them one by one! After Liu Wei pondered for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"The old minister also agreed to divide his troops to attack it!" After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhi also agreed.

"That's good, then the troops will be divided into four directions, southeast, northwest, and four directions, and attack the bandits one by one!"

"Your Majesty, please appear!"

"The last general is willing to lead troops to suppress the bandits!"

As soon as Liu Wei said this, all the generals immediately asked for battle!

"The four generals Lu Gong, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, and Yang Miaozhen will each lead 5,000 troops, and attack the bandits from the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions! Yuan asked you to be responsible for forming the Modao Army, so you don't have to fight this time. Liu Wei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, and Yang Miaozhen, who received the order, looked happy, and only Lu Zhi looked indifferent.

"In addition, these people have become bandits, which is really forced by life, you only need to kill the first evil, and the others will return to the people!" Liu Wei admonished again.
