Chapter 22 Sending troops to fight the thieves
Tian Shao has always been unkind, and he is rampant and domineering in Liaodong County, and the county officials have a lot of money transactions with him privately, for people like Tian Shao, they are black sheep, and most people want to get rid of them quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now that Tian Shao is dead, it was Gongsun Zhao who killed him, and the happiest person is Liu Yu. Tian Shao is the first strong in Liaodong, his death will inevitably play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, in this way, Liu Yu will have a big obstacle in Liaodong, in the future, Liu Yu's decree They just don't want to obey and have to weigh their own identity, and this Tian Shao's family has countless assets, Liu Yu is now particularly short of money and food, as soon as Tian Shao dies, Liu Yu can confiscate all his property, that is, to Liu Yu's own treasury.
Tianfu, Liu Yu gathered all the personnel of Tianfu into the courtyard and said: "Tian Shao bullied the people, forcibly occupied the people's land, killed the county officials privately, and brought disaster to the county. Ben Taishou is generous and merciful, and you and others who do not know are not guilty, and now order all the men in the house to fill the house, as for the women and children, I will personally arrange a place for you to live, this Tian Mansion will be confiscated from now on, and those who do not obey will be guilty of the same crime as Tian Shao. ”
On the spot, several young and vigorous people expressed their dissatisfaction, and were arrested and executed by Liu Yu's order on the spot, "If there are any more disobedient people who will be guilty of the same crime." In order to deter these people, Liu Yu was also decisive.
Then Liu Yu ordered the county to confiscate all the family property and send it to the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, and all the more than 70 young men in the mansion were recharged to the army, and all the soldiers raised by Tian Shao before were also retained into the army.
Many old and young people in the house cried loudly, but Liu Yu was unmoved. What he wants now is to confiscate the property of the Tian family, and the property of the Tian Mansion is indeed a lot, in addition to the money and grain given to Liu Yu by Tian Shao before, there are 200,000 stones of grain, and more than 1 million baht of money are all put into the warehouse, and there are a total of 1,278 soldiers and family members.
In addition, there is such a big mansion as Tianfu, although it is not as good as Gongsun Zhao's mansion, but it can also be called the second mansion in Liaodong, and Tianfu is only a mile away from Taishou Mansion, and it can be reached in a few minutes.
After Liu Yu asked the old and young of Tianfu to be arranged in a house in the west of the city, and did not let these people easily contact with outsiders, he was a little unbearable, and he took out twenty people from the original family to continue to take care of these people.
Because these sages who followed him before they arrived in Liaodong, they all followed Liu Yu to live in Taishou Mansion, although Taishou Mansion is not small, but most of them are places to handle official business, and they inevitably seem crowded when they live in it, Liu Yu is a little reluctant to go, so he gave them the house that confiscated Tianfu to live in, and found some more reliable county soldiers to guard in Tianfu, and there are naturally a lot of maids in the family.
Everyone was prevaricating at the beginning, Liu Yu naturally insisted again and again in order to win people's hearts, and finally they had to agree to live in Tianfu, in such a remote place in Liaodong, Tianfu can indeed be regarded as a mansion, and Liu Yu also left one for himself in it.
As for the family soldiers raised by Tian Shao, Liu Yu let them join the army in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so they were scattered and belonged to different ranks.
After dealing with all this, Liu Yu discussed with everyone and said: "Now that Tian Shao has been eliminated, the other heroes in the county will definitely tremble, and this is the time for us to subdue the other heroes." What do you have to do? ”
Zhong Xuan shook his head and said: "Although Tian Shao is dead, Gongsun Zhao is still alive, not to mention that the lord borrowed Gongsun Zhao's hand, and people who don't know still think that the two of them will kill Tian Shao if they don't get along with Gongsun Zhao, and the lord wants to really establish his authority in this Liaodong, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
After a pause, Zhong Xuan continued: "In addition, now that autumn is now, it is the time for the county people to harvest, presumably the mountain thieves in the county will definitely come to rob at this moment, according to the foolish opinion, it is better to wait until the thieves are pacified before making plans." ”
Tian Yu, Yan Rou and the others also agreed, and said: "The first step in the lord's previous plan is to conquer the bandits, although there is something wrong, we can still crusade against the bandits and stabilize the people of the county before dealing with these heroes." ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's fine, then let's go to the bandits next." ”
Since it was decided to go to the crusade against the bandits, Liu Yu immediately arranged: "Zhong Jun, Yan Rou, Man You, Liu Fu, the four of you stay in Xiangping, and order the county officials to continue to fight against the bandits and protect the people to collect grain, and tell them that if they can't complete the task before the end of the year, they will all be dismissed." Guorang, Wenyuan, and evil came with me to crusade against the bandits. ”
Zhong Miao and the others bowed down and said, "No, I hope the lord will return triumphantly as soon as possible." ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Gongsun Zhao is more insidious, and I hope Zhong Jun will pay close attention after I leave." ”
"No."
Liu Yu gathered more than 1,000 county soldiers in the county, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Yu's account brought by himself, plus the soldiers of the powerful families and the soldiers in Tianshao's mansion who had collected more than 5,000 people, a total of 8,000 people.
Liu Yu said: "Since this Taishou took over, he has been deeply troubled by the chaos of the mountain thieves in the county, and now he has the intention to send troops to fight, clear the bandits, and return a peace to the county. ”
"Work together to destroy the bandits." Everyone echoed in unison, and the waves became higher and higher.
Liu Yu divided these soldiers into three teams, the first team of 2,000 people, led by Liu Yu and Tian Yu with 1,000 people each, all of them were cavalry brought from Liu Yu's account, these were his father's people Liu Yu was more assured.
The second team consisted of more than 1,000 county soldiers and 2,000 soldiers, and was led by Zhang Liao. The third team is all the remaining soldiers, led by Dian Wei.
According to the news that Liu Yu got before, the three largest bandits in Liaodong County are the bandits in the three counties of Wuxi, Wangping, and Wenxian, and the bandits in these three counties have occupied the county government and are powerful, and among them, the bandits in Wuxian County are the most powerful, with a total of more than 14,000 people, and there are more than 8,000 bandits in Wangping County, and the smallest is less than 3,000 bandits in Wenxian County.
Liu Yu knew that it was difficult to deal with these bandits on his own, but fortunately, Wuxian County was located on the right edge of Liaodong and Liaoxi County, and it was only ten days away from Changli County, a part of Liaodong County, and less than 20 days away from Yangle County, the seat of Liaoxi County. Wangping County is located on the left edge of Xuansu County on the back of Liaodong County, and it is only 15 days away from Gaoguryi, the seat of Xuansu County.
At that moment, Liu Yu Xiushu asked them to send troops to support in his own name and in Liu Yu's name. Liu Yu believes that no matter what, they will see the face of their father as the pastor of Youzhou to help them.
Liu Yu asked Tian Yu again: "Now that the bandits are powerful, and our troops are insufficient, what should we do?" ”
"Although there are many bandits, they are not even as good as the former Yellow Turban Army, their combat power is low, and the bandits are fighting separately and do not help each other, we can defeat them one by one." Tian Yu directly said the weakness of the bandits, "And once we defeat a few larger bandit forces, other small bandits will inevitably be deterred, and the lord can influence and appease them when the time comes." ”
"Wenxian County is far away from Xiangping, and Wangping and Wuxian are closer to each other, so let's join forces first and take Wangping in one fell swoop." Liu Yu nodded and said.
"Promise", everyone received the promise.
Next, Liu Yu marched north with soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and the Taishou of Xuansu County sent Zhang Tong, the county governor, to lead two thousand county soldiers to help Liu Yu. Liu Yu and Zhang Tong joined forces in Liaoyang County, Xuanwu County, Zhang Tong expressed his willingness to obey Liu Yu's dispatch, and Liu Yu was overjoyed.
After half a month of marching, Liu Yu and others arrived in Wangping County, which was occupied by the bandits, and Liu Yu immediately ordered to camp outside Wangping County for a day's rest. The soldier had been on the march for so long, and now he had to regain his strength.
The next day, Liu Yu ordered the army to bury the pot early to make rice, and after the meal, he gathered the army and encouraged the soldiers and said: "The thieves occupy our county, save the people and kill the thieves, and make meritorious contributions, just in the future!" I look forward to your encouragement. ”
Just when Liu Yu was about to give the order to attack the city and break the thieves, Tian Yu hurriedly stopped: "The lord can't, our army is tired from afar, and this Wangping city is close to Wuhuan in the north, so it is tall and strong, we are not enough siege equipment, if we attack strongly, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, Yu thinks that we can use a small army to lure it out of the city, and fight with it in the field, the bandits have not been trained, and our army will be able to win a big victory." ”
Liu Yu bowed down and bowed: "It's not the state, Yu almost let the soldiers give their lives in vain." ”
