This time, Wangping City's crusade against the bandits ended with Liu Yu's complete victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info not only defeated more than 8,000 bandits, but also got the talent of Li Yin.

Walking on the desolate streets, followed by Tian Yu, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Li Yin and others, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. ”

Seeing such a scene, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the sentence written by Zhang Yanghao who he had learned. No matter what era it is, the ruling class sacrifices the happiness of the people for its own interests, and the people will always be the most miserable.

Tian Yu and the others didn't expect Liu Yu to say such a philosophical sentence, Tian Yu said: "The lord thinks about the people everywhere, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." ”

Liu Yu said with emotion: "Xunzi has a saying: water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and now the Han family is unfortunate, isn't it because they don't consider the people, and the people are in dire straits, so there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the world is in turmoil? ”

As a person who has studied history, Liu Yu has always known the saying that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, isn't it because Liu Bei won the hearts of the people that he finally became a person who could compete with Cao Cao and Sun Quan from an ordinary person who sold straw shoes?

Wangping County, north of Wuhuan Xianbei and other foreign territories, so there are both Han people in the city, as well as some Wuhuan and Xianbei Hu people, mixed in it, the situation is complicated, and it is extremely difficult to manage.

Now the thieves have occupied Wangping for a year, and the people have been squeezed poor, since they have taken over Liaodong County, and Liaodong County is the place where they made their fortune, then they must thoroughly govern this Liaodong, if you want the people to recognize you, then you have to do practical things for the people, the people are easy to satisfy people, as long as they have food, clothing, and fields, they will be grateful to you.

Since he decided to do practical things for the people, he had to put it into action, and Liu Yu immediately ordered: "The people in the city are bullied by the squires, and they can be exempted from paying taxes in the county for one year, and at the same time, they will open a warehouse to relieve the people." The gentry in the city, who had previously colluded with the bandits, confiscated their property and distributed it to the people, gave them back to the people, and encouraged them to farm. ”

"In addition, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, the two of you will lead troops to inspect the county, if there is a traitor, robbery, robbery, and disturbance of public order, all those who are minor will be punished, and none of them will be set up in serious cases." Liu Yu knows very well that in troubled times, he should use heavy canons, especially when Wangping City has just been seized by himself, and he must use some means to stabilize the counties of Wangping County as soon as possible, restore people's livelihood, and stabilize public order is the right reason.

"No." And they all took their promises and went away.

In the next few days, Liu Yu asked the soldiers to open a warehouse to release grain, give porridge to the people, and then distribute some grain to the people for farming, many of which were originally snatched by thieves from the people, and now returning them to the people is also a good deed.

At the same time, several gentry in the county were raided, and all the food at home was distributed to the people, and the people in the county used to be officials, or the local gentry bullied and oppressed them, and now the new Taishou not only rescued them from the hands of the thieves, but also gave the soup porridge and grain and fields, so that when Liu Yu left Wangping, the people sent Liu Yu along the Wangping street, and continued to keep it.

After arranging Wangping County properly, Liu Yu repaired the book to Zhong Xuan and asked him to send Han Guan to serve as the commander of Wangping County, so that he could recruit other county officials on his own, first, to experience Han Guan, and secondly, to let his own people control the counties in the state. What's more, Wangping County is still relatively chaotic today, and the people's livelihood is withering, so if a talent is not sent to govern, Liu Yu is not worried that others can govern it well.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, on August 17, after staying in Wangping for four or five days, Liu Yu decided to set off for Wuxian County, southwest of Wangping County, to pacify the largest bandit gang in Liaodong County.

Wuxian County is located in Liaodong Subject, the junction of Liaoxi County and Liaodong County, north of Yiwu Mountain, the county seat is built by the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, now the number of bandits in this Wuwu County has reached more than 14,000 people, Liu Yu has a headache, if the other party is a somewhat resourceful person, according to the danger, do not go out of the city to fight with themselves, how should they be.

When Liu Yu arrived at Wushu County, the 3,000 soldiers and horses sent by Liaoxi County and the 2,000 men and horses brought by the commander of Liaodong were already waiting here for two days.

After everyone saw each other, after some politeness, Liu Yu knew that the bandits in Wuwu County were powerful, and there were no other Liaodong counties around, so the bandits often invaded the territory of Liaodong County and Liaodong subjects, making them very annoying, and every time they wanted to exterminate them, these bandits hid in Wuwu City and did not come out, and there was no way to take them.

Stationed thirty miles outside the city of Wuxi, Liu Yu constantly sent people to investigate the situation in Wuwu County, but the effect was not obvious, and the news that came back was not much different from what he knew, and even the leader of the bandits on the other side could not inquire about it.

Liu Yu knew that this group of bandits was not as easy to deal with as the bandits in Wangping before, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, invincible in a hundred battles, and now he didn't even know the details of the other party, so in desperation, he had to continue to send people to inquire, and kept asking the local people in the hope of getting some news from their mouths.

Since the integration of more than 4,000 bandits surrendered by Wangping, it can no longer be called bandits, but Liu Yu's own army, and now Liu Yu has more than 12,000 people, plus 5,000 people who came to support, Liu Yu has surpassed the bandits in Wuxian County in terms of numbers, and in terms of quality and ability to command troops, Liu Yu is more confident to surpass them.

After several days of searching for news without substantial results, Liu Yu decided to prepare to start the attack tomorrow.

This night, to Liu Yu's surprise, the bandits in the city actually came to attack the camp at night. When the fire broke out in the southwest of Liu Yu's current camp, Liu Yu reacted, and Dian Wei's army was stationed in the southwest military camp, and Dian Wei was furious, so he ordered the sergeant to put out the fire while carrying a double halberd and rushing out of the camp to prepare for a big battle with the enemy.

However, the enemy seemed to have premeditated, and retreated with one blow, and did not stay long, but because of this, the fire was small, and the sergeants had already extinguished the fire when Liu Yu arrived, but there were also more than 100 dead and wounded.

After ordering the burial of these people, Liu Yu felt a chill, it seemed that he was really too careless, if the fire was bigger tonight, his side was estimated to suffer heavy losses, Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little impressed by the bandit leader in the city.

On the second day, before Liu Yu gave the order, Dian Wei carried the double halberd and led the soldiers to the city of Wuxian to challenge, "If you have the courage to come to attack the camp, don't you have the courage to come out and fight with your grandfather?" ”

No matter how Dian Wei scolded, the other party did not react, and when it was noon, when everyone on Dian Wei's side was hoarse, an army of more than 4,000 people came out of the city.

The two sides fought, Dian Wei with the double halberd in hand, as if entering a no-man's land, everywhere he went, people turned over on their horses, but the sergeant on Dian Wei's side was originally a family member raised by the Liaodong gentry, and he was more tired at this time, and he couldn't even gain the upper hand against these bandits, and he faintly fell behind.

Seeing this, Liu Yu urgently ordered Zhang Liao and Li Yin to lead the army to help, Zhang Liao and others joined the battle group, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the bandits retreated one after another, and the two sides of the battle suffered casualties on each other, losing four or five hundred people on their side, and about a thousand people on the bandits' side.

Back in the tent, Liu Yu gathered everyone together and said worriedly: "It's not a way to go on like this, what is your best plan?" ”

Dian Wei clenched his halberd and said indignantly: "If these thieves dare to come to the city, I will kill as many as they come." ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "We all know the courage of evil, but the other party is obviously not like a headless person like Daniel Zhang, and he will not easily abandon the city and fight with us." ”

"My lord, if this thief continues to hold on to the city, we can besiege it but not attack it, I believe that there is not much food and grass in the city, and when the food is exhausted, he will naturally go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us, and then we will surely win." Zhang Liao said.

"No, we came to destroy the thieves this time, what we want is a quick battle and rescue the people, if we besiege but not attack, then the leader will definitely continue to exploit the people of the county, who knows how long they can hold out? If the time is short, it will not be good for us. Liu Yu shook his head and vetoed the idea.

At this moment, a small colonel outside the tent entered the account and reported: "Report, the thieves in the city said that they want to negotiate peace with the prince." ”

"What?" Liu Yu was a little unsteady.

This is incredible, his side does not have the upper hand at present, why did the other party choose to negotiate peace at this time?
