Sichuan and Yunnan and other places, all of them were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, Wu Shaogang had already set off to Lushi County on Jingzhaofu Road, which would be the place where the 100,000 army would gather, as the commander of the 100,000 army, Wu Shaogang did not follow the march of the large army, but set off in advance, Hao Jing and Cao Wengang and others also followed Wu Shaogang to set off.

Cai Siwei, the deputy marshal and the commander of all the imperial armies in Hezhou, followed Wu Shaogang to set off in advance, and the army was led by Zhang Binghui, the deputy marshal and the commander of the imperial armies of the Dingkun army.

The march of 100,000 troops, wanting to completely keep their whereabouts completely secret, this is almost impossible, it has reached the second half of the first month, and the people in some places are afraid of delaying the agricultural time, appearing in the fields, these people can occasionally see the mighty army, and they will inevitably exclaim and sigh.

In terms of confidentiality matters, Wu Shaogang is not particularly anxious, there are not many people in the area of Henan Road, and there are even many people on Henan Road who fled to Jingzhaofu Road, which first ensures that the news will not leak quickly, and secondly, the current traffic conditions basically limit the rapid spread of news, and in the first month, there are very few businessmen doing business, and they have used the Spring Festival before to earn enough money, and they need to rest well in the first month.

As for the spies sent by the Mongolian court, it is even easier to deal with, whenever you enter the place controlled by Wu Shaogang, the government must register, whether you are a fugitive citizen, or a businessman passing by temporarily, once the government registers, determine the place you want to go, someone will immediately notify the local elders and Li Zheng, pay attention to the upcoming person, if this person's whereabouts are strange, erratic, and like to go around to inquire about the news, it will definitely be targeted.

Through this method, Jingzhaofu Road and other places have found out hundreds of spies sent by the Mongol army.

The people's minds are determined, and the people, who have barely stabilized, no longer want to live a life of fear.

This kind of management of the people is not approved by Wu Shaogang, but when it is used in wartime, the effect is huge, so after Li Siqi proposed such management methods, Wu Shaogang acquiesced.

Wu Shaogang and his entourage set off from Chengdu on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, they marched very fast, and the guards around them were all selected from the elite of the army, and the speed of the march was faster, Hao Jing and Cao Wengang and others did not waste time, and closely followed the march of the team.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Wu Shaogang and his entourage arrived in Lushi County, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhaofu Road.

Li Siqi had been waiting in Lushi County for a long time, and if Wu Shaogang hadn't given an order not to allow officials to greet him outside the city, Li Siqi would have been waiting for him more than ten miles outside Lushi County.

Lushi County is the closest place to Songzhou under the jurisdiction of Henan Road, Lushi County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhaofu Road, and Changshui County under the jurisdiction of Songzhou is only about 100 miles away, which means that when you arrive at the border, the possibility of news leakage is huge.

Li Siqi's greeting of Wu Shaogang outside the city with great fanfare will definitely attract attention and lead to the leakage of news.

On this day, the 100,000 army set off from outside the city of Chengdu, and it took at least six days or so for the vanguard to reach Lushi County, and all the 100,000 troops gathered in Lushi County at the end of the first month.

The 2,000 guards around Wu Shaogang and his entourage have long been scattered, and some of the guards along the way have already entered the county seat of the Lu family.

There were more than 100 people who followed him, and it was nothing for a team of such a scale to enter the county seat of the Lu family.

Because of the special geographical location of Lushi County, it is one of the nearest cities near Henan Road controlled by the Mongolian court, and there are a lot of merchants who shuttle back and forth every year, and at the same time do business on both sides, earning the price difference, and ordinary people also know that these businessmen who shuttle back and forth are not ordinary people, otherwise enter the Henan Road controlled by the Mongolian court, do not think that they can come back.

After Wu Shaogang entered the city, he went straight to the official post.

Li Siqi and the county magistrate of Lushi County were already waiting at the official post, and the news was tightly sealed, and even the post of the official post did not know who came to Lushi County.

The specially prepared courtyard is very open, and it is connected to more than a dozen houses, and there are separate small courtyards in front and back, and after closing the door of the courtyard, it will not be disturbed by the outside world.

In just a county seat, there is such a courtyard in the official post, which makes Wu Shaogang a little surprised.

Inside the courtyard, the guards were ready for everything.

Li Siqi and the county magistrate were waiting in the courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard and seeing Li Siqi with a frozen red face, Wu Shaogang smiled.

"Master Li, you can go inside and wait, there is no need to stand outside."

The county order is a scholar who has participated in the study of Yunchuan Academy, and he used to be a county official, Wu Shaogang remembered this person, so he also nodded and smiled, and briefly asked about many situations in Lushi County.

The county order replied very fluently, it seems that the situation in the county is indeed familiar, and one thing that the county order said attracted Wu Shaogang's attention, that is, around the Spring Festival, Songzhou and Shaanzhou and other places, many people entered Lushi County.

The Spring Festival is the day of reunion of ten thousand families, even if it is a rich landlord who is forced to pay debts, once the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month has passed, they will generally not collect debts, unless they encounter a situation that is difficult to survive, and the people will not choose to flee during the Spring Festival.

Before Wu Shaogang could ask, the county magistrate explained again that he personally asked some of the people who had fled, and it turned out that the local government had collected taxes, so that these people had no choice, and they couldn't pass the Spring Festival, so they chose to flee.

Hearing what the county order said, Wu Shaogang shook his head and sighed.

It seems that the Mongol army conquered Xiangyang Fucheng and dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and the supply of grain and grass was not simple, and the so-called good financial management of Prime Minister Ahma, a large part of which was to ignore the life and death of the people, and levy a large amount of agricultural taxes and trade taxes, so as to support the expenses of the Yuan court and the Mongolian army.

From this point alone, Wu Shaogang has already won the victory.

Of course, without Wu Shaogang's crossing, everything is the original appearance of history.

To a large extent, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty did not care about the people, expropriated and expropriated, brutally oppressed, and maintained their own rule by force, and the high-level was not united, fighting for the throne, these factors were the reasons for the collapse of the incomparably powerful Mongol Dynasty, all of which Wu Shaogang was clear and vigilant.

The map on the table has been spread out, and the map on the wall has been hung.

After the greetings, the prefectural magistrate and some other officials withdrew.

The people left in the house, except for Hao Jing, Cai Siwei, Cao Wengang and Yuan Shichun, are Li Siqi.

"Master Li, I don't know if the food from all over the country along the way is ready."

"According to the requirements of the Yamen, everything is ready."

"Very good, the so-called soldiers are fast, I don't want to delay the time of the army's attack because of the problem of food and grass, this time the march of the large army, the speed cannot be very fast, after all, the Dingkun cannon is heavy, and the transportation delays time, this year's Arms Bureau made a hundred Dingkun cannons, but also to be transported to the battlefield, plus the hundred Dingkun cannons that were left in Jingzhao Mansion, the Dingkun army has more than two hundred artillery, no matter what kind of city, it is impossible to resist the bombardment of two hundred Dingkun cannons."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at everyone, his eyes were full of confidence.

"The Dingkun cannon can't be exposed prematurely, I mean, when attacking Luoyang City, you can use the Dingkun cannon, don't use the rest of the places for the time being, Henan Road is under the jurisdiction of some ordinary cities, the thunder is enough, you don't need to use the Dingkun cannon, and I think, don't bombard the city on a large scale until the last resort, after all, if you destroy these places, the trouble is still left to us, Li Siqi, do you say yes."

Li Siqi was stunned for a moment and nodded again and again.

"What the adults are saying is that this is the reason, if in the process of conquest, the killing is too heavy, causing some places to be uninhabited, and it is itself that suffers in the end."

Of course, Li Siqi wanted to say these words, just now Wu Shaogang opened his mouth to ask, and he had already made him understand that I am afraid that after the recovery of Henan Road, he will also be asked to govern and govern, in this case, the places that can be preserved must be preserved as much as possible.

Although Hao Jing and others are difficult to understand, they are used to it.

When Hao Jing and others were under Kublai Khan before, they mainly advised Kublai Khan to do one thing, that is, not to kill too heavily in the process of conquest, especially in the battle of attacking the city and pulling out the fortress, not to slaughter the city at every turn, and finally let Kublai Khan accept these exhortations, so that many places in the Central Plains will not be too sad, but Wu Shaogang is completely different, every time before the start of the battle, he must tell many soldiers not to destroy for no reason, and never allow killing for no reason, even if it is to attack the city, do not cause too much damage.

With such a concept of conquest, it is impossible to cause huge damage to the local area, and it is impossible to have a situation where the people's livelihood is withering, just from this point of view, Wu Shaogang is stronger than Kublai Khan, I don't know how much.

Life at the official post was soon ready.

Yi Cheng and the others entered the house with food.

After the food and wine came up, Wu Shaogang turned his head to look at it.

A plate of steaming braised pork is particularly conspicuous.

Before Wu Shao could speak, Li Siqi spoke.

"My lord, today's banquet was specially arranged by the lower officials, and the lower officials knew about the requirements of the adults, and Jingzhaofu Road and other places were also fully implemented, but today's banquet, the lower officials felt that the significance was not ordinary, if the adults had any reproaches, the lower officials would definitely bear it."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi and said with a wry smile.

"You have said so, what else can I say, it doesn't mean that we can't eat good, we can't eat meat, Jingzhaofu Road and other places have just returned to calm, and the people's lives are still very difficult, and Sichuan and Yunnan and other places are incomparable, the future life will be better, and it is still okay to eat some meat."
