It was already afternoon to suppress the bandits this time, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark in two hours, Luan Yuanqing persuaded: "Master Hou, we are not familiar with the terrain at night, if we attack strongly, there will definitely be losses!" ”

Li Yao smiled and shook his head, "Yuan Qing, now I estimate that there are no more than a hundred people in the bandit nest, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, they will definitely not fight us head-on, they will definitely abandon the village and run away, let's go over, it is definitely an empty cottage, so don't worry!" ”

Luan Yuanqing asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be in vain for us this time?" ”

Li Yao waved his hand and said, "Who said it was in vain? Let's just burn down their cottage this time, that's the biggest credit! ”

Luan Yuanqing thought about it, nodded, and said: "What Hou Ye said is also reasonable, as long as the cottage is burned, it is equivalent to cutting grass and eradicating the roots, and those dozens of bandits will definitely not be able to become a climate!" ”

Li Yao and the city guards went up the mountain along the safe road that the guards began to investigate, and sure enough, the two cottages were empty, Li Yao gave an order, and the cottage was on fire, and the county commander and others complimented: "Hou Ye is really heroic, he wiped out the bandits at once, and also burned their cottages, it is really a great thing for our local people, we must wash the wind and dust for Hou Ye at night, and come to a celebration banquet by the way!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Then it's annoying to the county order!" ”

The county commander hurriedly said politely: "Whatever the Hou Ye said, this is what we should do, and then ordered a subordinate to quickly run back to the county seat and call the local rich squires to celebrate Li Yao's achievements!" ”

It was already night when the city guards returned to the county seat, and after arranging accommodation, Li Yao and the others followed the county order to the largest restaurant in the local area!

As soon as Li Yao entered the restaurant, he saw that the local tyrant squires had already taken their seats, and those local tyrant squires saw Li Yao come in, and they all stood up and congratulated: "Master Hou has worked hard to kill the bandits, you have really done a great thing for our people, and you don't have to worry about being robbed when you pass by!" ”

Li Yao waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "This killing of bandits is also purely accidental, it is they who have not long eyes to provoke me, I only have one word for my enemy, that is, kill them all!" This time, I not only killed the bandits who attacked me, but also rushed to their cottage and burned their nests, and this is the end of my enemies! ”

After hearing Li Yao's strong words, the local tyrant squires applauded one after another, but they secretly said in their hearts: "This is different from the rumored Li Yao, isn't there a rumor recently that Li Yao was kicked out of Yiguo by King Yi and fled back in disgrace?" Why did you kill the bandits again this time and burn down their cottages? ”

Li Yao saw everyone's expressions, what he wanted was this effect, Li Yao was now going to build momentum, and he wanted to start a war against Yiguo, but his manpower was really insufficient, and there was no talent, this was what Li Yao was most worried about, Li Yao wanted to use this battle to announce to the people of Qi that he was no longer the original gentleman!

Of course, Li Yao doesn't expect this battle to make those big bulls work for him, Li Yao just hopes that people with a little talent can come to him! Talent is what it is lacking, and if an army does not have talent, it is really not good!

And Li Yao also wants to announce to Qi Guo through this battle that he is going to start moving, he has already let go, he wants to cut down the grass and eradicate his enemies, Li Yao is a playful marquis, usually there is no enemy at all, except that he has just been kicked out of Yiguo, is Li Yao going to war against Yiguo?

Although this is delusional in the eyes of many people, it is really unrealistic for a county to want to go to war against a country. If Li Yao wants to take revenge on Yiguo, Qi will definitely not interfere, not to mention anything else, just say that the second prince in front of him has 50,000 elite soldiers to plunder the Uighurs and start a war, and it is taboo to fight on two fronts, so King Qi will definitely not send troops to Yiguo, and Yiguo is high and deep, even if there are many large troops, it will not help, so he will only give Yiguo a warning in writing, and will not make other moves!

Since Qi Guo will not make a move against Yiguo, then there is only Yi County, Li Yao's fief Yi County has just received nearly a million people, Yi County can't afford to support these people anyway, if some people are willing to think about it, it is not difficult to guess that Li Yao is going to do it in combination with Li Yao's performance today!

Talented people will definitely not express their stance casually, although in Qi country, the eldest prince and the second prince are the candidates for the king of Qi, and Li Yao cannot become the king of Qi no matter how he expands, but this is also an advantage, no matter how unfamiliar the nobles of the Qi country are, they are all the people who followed the king of Qi to fight the world at the beginning, if the eldest prince and the second prince have a conflict, they must be inseparable from the relationship with the nobles, if this is the case, the two sides must not be good!

But it's different with Li Yao, if Li Yao starts a war against Yiguo, at least there will be no contradictions at home, as long as the contradictions abroad are dealt with!

Therefore, many small nobles must defect to Li Yao, at least if there is no contradiction in the country, the Jedi will not cause the defeat of the family!

After all, no matter who becomes the king of Qi in the end, the eldest prince and the second prince will definitely be defeated! If he defected to the third prince Ninghou, even if someone under his command died on the battlefield, it would not cause much loss!

At the beginning, no one defected to Li Yao because Li Yao had no one and no land, if he defected to Li Yao, he would definitely be eating and waiting to die, and he was still eating and waiting for death in Yi County, if he was just eating and waiting for death, then why did he go to Yi County? Yi County is only a county seat in Hao, so it is better to eat and wait for death in the national capital!

But Li Yao is different now, Li Yao's ambition is out, and he will be supported by domestic forces, after all, if Li Yao moves, the eldest prince and the second prince will definitely not have to worry about which side of Li Yao's forces will fall, once Li Yao chooses to start a war with the outside world, the eldest prince and the second prince in the country will definitely be able to concentrate on the game!

Therefore, it is certain that Li Yao will be supported by domestic forces, and this is also a necessary factor that Li Yao needs, and some people who are worried about being affected by the game between the eldest prince and the second prince will definitely choose Li Yao!

And today, Li Yao killed so many bandits strongly, and it also showed everyone that Li Yao is powerful, since a powerful person who is not subject to domestic constraints must be a good candidate to turn to!

Li Yao just wants to let this kill of the bandits to build momentum for himself, once the momentum is good, Li Yao will have to act, but there are definitely not many people who defected to Li Yao at the beginning, it must depend on Li Yao's development, if Li Yao's development is good, then there will definitely be no fewer people who defect!

If Li Yao really wants to unify Yiguo, then the demand for talents must be extremely large, so Li Yao is going to do it now, at least to make his name well-known to the people, he has been silent for a long time, and then he will be a blockbuster!

After eating, the news about Li Yao quickly spread throughout the county, and will soon spread throughout the country!
