Chapter 8 Attack on Three Sides
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, and the rain rests on the railing.
Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce.
Twenty fame dust and earth,
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.
Don't wait for the young man's head to be white, empty and sad.
The south is ashamed, and it is still snowing;
When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed!
Drive the iron horse to the north of the Yangtze River.
Ambition to eat Hun meat,
Laughing and talking about thirsty and drinking Donghu blood.
Wait to clean up the old mountains and rivers from the beginning, facing the sky. ”
Liu Gaozhi recited this poem repeatedly, his body and mind were completely intoxicated in this magnificent scene, remembering that he joined the army in Beifu when he was young, in order to be able to show his ambitions, but after many years, the more he fought, the more chaotic he became, the more chaotic he became, he didn't know what he was doing at all, and that bit of ambition disappeared.
"It seems that I still underestimate this general of Zhengnan, and his ambition is not small." Liu Gaozhi praised.
Liu Yu nodded and said: "His subordinates see that his method of training soldiers is very novel, and every time he finishes, he has to shout this poem loudly, presumably to encourage soldiers not to waste a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions." A few days ago, Xie Yu came, he just respected the Xie family and admired the general's literary talent, and he didn't expect to observe it for a few days, this young master seems to have a set of training and encouraging morale, the ten military rules are rigorous and meticulous, and his subordinates are strict and self-disciplined, and he tries his best to improve the food of the soldiers, which makes him greatly admired.
"Well, the Xie family has this child, which also makes the governor of Pontus less worried."
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, the sun was in the sky, it was very hot, and the thieves did not land to make trouble, so that the people in the city slowly began to build and produce again, and the fields outside the city were reclaimed and organized, and the chaos seemed to calm down at once, and people began to run around for their livelihood again.
Chengdong Barracks.
Xie Yu stood there and listened carefully to the report of the person who bowed down and hugged his fists in front of him, his eyes were full of smiles.
The person who reported the report was surnamed Guo Bufan, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and he was thin, but don't underestimate this, he is the helmsman of the Ziyun Building, and his ability is amazing, when Xie Yu first came, he received the news of the Qinglong and White Tiger, and secretly contacted the young owner.
After verifying the old landlord's token, he obeyed the dispatch with sincerity and convincing, and the first task he received was to monitor the four major families distributed in the south.
Xie Yu's idea is very simple, if Wang Yu hadn't greeted him in advance, he wouldn't have thought of this, assuming that these four clans secretly funded Sun En, then, they would send grain and grass to the other party from time to time, the other party has more than 100,000 soldiers, and the use is naturally not small, then, this is an entry point, as long as you can catch the evidence, cut off this supply, and let Sun En, a prominent clan, eat fish all day long, I'm afraid it won't last much time and it will be boring, and the landing will be chaotic.
As long as they are on land, they have a chance to defeat them, get a warship, and as long as they can get a ship, they can attack and harass them, so the first step of the plan is carried out.
In order to eliminate this gang of more than 100,000 thieves, the difficulties faced are quite great, and if you take a slight wrong step, you will be doomed, and you may even lose your life.
"Young master, my subordinates sent capable people to track and trace everywhere a month ago, and got the news on the evening of the day before yesterday that the thieves landed in the southwest of Zhenxian County (now Ningbo) at night, and the Zhang family sent grain and grass, looking at the scale, it was about 3,000 stones." Guo Bufan reported.
"Cheng County? Wasn't it that after the city was broken, the people were taken captive by Sun En? ”
Guo Bufan nodded and said: "Yes, Cheng County is more than 200 miles away from Huiji, there are few people, and the people gather here, because there is the protection of the imperial army, but the Zhang family is different, Cheng County has their land and estate, since they secretly fund the thieves, then, their power will be well preserved." ”
"And the largest land of the Zhang family is indeed distributed in Yan County, and at the same time, it is also the territory of the Gu family, and in the south to Ninghai, it is the Zhu family, and the Lu family is around Linhai County."
After hearing this, Xie Yu frowned, these people are really cunning, the coastline is so long, if it happens to be the turn of the Zhang family to deliver food this time, then, next time it may be the Gu family, or the Zhu family, the Lu family, they all have their own territory, it is impossible for everyone to monitor, in case the news leaks out, let the other party find any clues, all the efforts will be in vain.
How to make a move? Xie Yu paced back and forth and thought about it, and after a while, his eyes lit up and said: "Since the Zhang family has already sent grain and grass, then next time it will definitely be Gu, Lu, Zhu, these three, if you can contain one, there will be two left, in a few days, you will have to harvest rice, I am sitting in Yan County, I will definitely suppress Zhang, Gu Erjia does not dare to act rashly, then, this time to send grain will definitely be the Zhu family." ”
"Send you 500 soldiers, disguised to Linhai County, where the distance is the farthest, it is not easy to go back and forth, you can pretend to be bandits, rob all the property in the Lu family grange, and burn all the grain."
Guo Bufan nodded and said, "What about the people in the Grange?" Kidnapped? ”
"No~, kill them all, so that the Lu family will believe that it was the bandits."
Guo Bufan took a breath and sighed secretly that although the young landlord was young, he was ruthless in his work, and he couldn't help nodding when he thought about things.
Xie Yu asked people to call Ma Wenbiao, told him the details of this matter, pointed to Guo Bufan and said: "This is Xie Bufan, he will send someone to take you to Linhai County, you take five hundred soldiers to dress up as ordinary people, find a secret place to hide, as long as the Lujia Grange harvests rice, you will pretend to be a bandit and take away all the property, burn the grain, remember, no one in the village will be left." ”
When Ma Wenbiao heard this, he didn't even hesitate before clenching his fists and saying, "My subordinates obey orders." ”
The reason why Xie Yu changed Guo Bufan's personality was because he didn't want this general who had not followed him for a long time to know about Ziyun Tower.
Watching the two of them leave, and calling the calf, in the face of this reckless and clever general, I was a little nervous, but now there is no unscrupulous general in my hand, and I told the other party to be careful several times before saying: "Calf, you take a few capable people to Ninghai to monitor the movements of the Zhu family, remember, you must be careful, do not show your feet, if the other party has a grain team to send out, immediately send someone to Yan County to find me, understand?" ”
The calf nodded vigorously and took the order.
He is the county marquis of Yan County, so he naturally has a reason to go to his fiefdom, so that the Zhang family and the Gu family will be closely monitored, so that the other party has nowhere to make a move, and when he comes down, he can only quietly wait for these people to send out the next batch of grain after discussion.
After arranging the matter, he sent someone to the governor's mansion to report to Liu Gaozhi that he was going to Yan County, and the answer he got was naturally allowed, and reporting him was just an attitude of etiquette, and he went to Yan County, and this governor had no power to restrain him.
On the second day, he set out from the camp and led more than 10,000 soldiers to Yan County.
