Chapter 25 Horse Bandit Demonstration
In addition to manpower, there is still a lot of money to rebuild the county government, but Wei Tao can still afford this kind of cost.
"My official is not only an expense, but I don't know what Lu Dao is doing this official?"
Another sum of money was disbursed, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly and laugh at himself, and then his face turned positive again.
"Wen Yuan, what do you say the people of Ma Yi mean are Diao people?"
"What do you mean by the Mayi Hao family?"
Zhang Liao also knows the strength of the Daohao clan, otherwise how could there be a 'Ma Yi Rebellion' in the first place?
"But after such a thing, there shouldn't be many people in the Ma Yi Hao family, right? If it is true, I am afraid that it should be the Huns and horse bandits who are behind. ”
I have to say that Zhang Liao is indeed a famous general, Wei Tao is a point, he just understands what Wei Tao means.
The reason why Diao Min is Diao Min is naturally because of the pressure exerted by the Huns and horse bandits behind, but this is just a temptation.
The construction of the county government was very fast, and when he first arrived, Wei Tao didn't really want to oppose the people, and he didn't need these people when he should withdraw it, Wei Tao still had money to buy food supplies.
However, in the third day, the county government was first established, and because of Wei Tao's actions, the people did not have the tension and antagonism that they first came.
And after three days, Wei Tao also found out the basic situation of this Mayi.
There are no wealthy families in Mayi.
Today's Mayi is actually basically under the rule of the Xiongnu and the horse bandits, and the reason why the people say that they are stable is that both the Huns and the horse bandits know that the Tao cannot be exhausted and fish.
Really, although the people live a hard life, they can barely survive.
No one knows what would happen if the Han officials arrived, so he was so resistant.
Diao Min, it is not that these people dare to rebel against the government, but that the people will not cooperate and resist secretly.
Although the relationship has eased, Wei Tao does not believe that he can convince the people in this way.
After three days of repair, the county government now looks a little like it, but Wei Tao understands that this place is different from the Central Plains.
Litigation in the Central Plains and other things, I'm afraid this place is no longer visible, and this county government is more used for the sergeants led by themselves to be stationed and rested.
Sitting alone on the top of the yatang, Wei Tao kept thinking about it in his heart, as for Zhang Liao and Wang He, they each received errands.
Wei Tao was thinking about how to deal with this Ma Yi matter.
"The Huns, horse bandits, and Diao people, the three tribulations are difficult to get rid of!"
After a few days, Wei Tao also thought about it again and again, but he still didn't know the point, Wei Tao deeply felt that there was indeed a lack of someone around him who could give advice to him.
Today's Zhang Liao is only reluctant to lead the troops alone, let alone let him give advice.
"Take!"
Just as Wei Tao was thinking, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.
After a while, he saw a guard running in, and Wei Tao immediately gave an order.
"What's going on?"
"Lord Qiqi, I don't know where another arrow came from, in the middle of the county plaque, there seems to be a cloth on the arrow, please decide!"
As he spoke, he offered the arrow with both hands.
Wei Tao's face has become iron-blue, although it is not noon at this time, the sky outside is still bright, the other party is so rampant, it is clear that he does not put himself in his eyes!
"Have you ever seen who shot this arrow?"
After a careful look, Wei Tao found that this arrow was a wolf's tooth arrow, but it was a bit of the Huns' strength, but the arrow branch was quite long, the feathers were trimmed, and the tip of the arrow was dignified, and it could not be made if it were not for the craftsmanship of Han craftsmen.
"Lord Qiqi, this arrow was shot from a distance, and Lord Zhang had already led people to chase after that place."
Hearing the guard's report, Wei Tao nodded, and then carefully examined the arrow, as for the cloth, Wei Tao didn't pay any attention to it at all.
After a while, I saw Zhang Liao returning, still holding a half-man bow in his hand.
"My lord, the thief shot an arrow from two hundred paces away, and he went away with one blow, and when we arrived, the building was empty, but this longbow was found. It seems that the other party is really prepared. ”
Taking the longbow, Wei Tao pulled it on the bowstring at will, but saw that the bowstring was only slightly bent.
"Good bow!"
Although it is not a real capacity, Wei Tao asked himself that he had used at least thirty percent of his strength just now, and this bow might not even be able to use himself.
"Even in the Central Plains, such bows and arrows must be made by skilled craftsmen, not to mention such a dangerous place in the frontier, and the value of this bow and arrow is more than ten times. Wen Yuan, who do you think would use such a gesture to demonstrate? ”
"Such a good bow, even if it is made by a skilled craftsman, it will take a lot of effort, and it will be so powerful, it must be ...... by a wealthy family."
Zhang Liao also knew that the situation in Ma Yi was no longer spoken.
"My lord still opens this cloth and takes a look, even if it is arrogant, you can see the slightest clue."
"Hmm!"
Wei Tao nodded, untied the cloth, and opened it.
"The word ordered the county lieutenant of Mayi, get out of Mayi within three days, if not, after three days, I will be bloodied in Mayi, and there will be no grass left! Such a good bow can be given to the county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant is looking forward to returning the gift. ”
"What a megalomaniacal!"
The words are written in blood, and if you change to an ordinary person, you will definitely be shocked when you see this kind of blood book.
However, Wei Tao also experienced a battle formation, where could this thing scare him?
"My lord, the other party has no fear, although this bow is good, but we have no arrows, as for the 'return gift', I am afraid that the other party is eyeing the armor in our hands."
You must know that the Lu Daowei family is everyone, and they are engaged in business transportation, as for the Zhang family, although it is in decline, it still has some heritage.
Therefore, among the many soldiers led by Wei Tao, except for the soldiers under the military system of Bingzhou, the equipment is slightly worse, and the others are all well-equipped.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Wei Tao's eyes revealed a chill.
"The horse bandits are also scholars who set up war books, do you really think that we are incompetent?"
"What the lord said is very true, but this horse bandit has to be cautious. If it was just a few years ago, those horse bandits did not belong to each other, and they were also filthy with each other. However, in recent years, some horse bandits have formed a family, called a gust of wind, even the Huns do not dare to be deeply troubled. ”
Although Zhang Liao agrees with Wei Tao's words, he is also still cautious.
"It is said that there are already more than one of the horse bandits, and they are not working on weekdays, they all rely on looting and support, although the discipline is not good, but I am afraid that they are no less than ordinary troops."
Hearing Zhang Liao's eloquent words, Wei Tao couldn't help nodding slightly, what Zhang Liao said was exactly what Wei Tao thought.
"Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and there are more internal worries, I am constantly monitored by many small people, and methods such as ambushes are even more difficult to do when they first come. What should I do? ”
Although Wei Tao's subordinates are well-equipped now, they have less than a hundred people, and more importantly, they have not gone through many battles and killings, so their martial arts are higher, but they are really not sure of victory against the horse bandits.
What's more, horse bandits, horse bandits, they are naturally arguing for horses, and the party is for horse bandits.
In other words, horse bandits are all cavalry, and it is a big disadvantage to use infantry to deal with cavalry.
What's more, Wei Tao and Zhang Liao have both experienced the battle of the raid on the Huns, so wait for the momentum of thousands of horses rushing like the tide of the sea, and the unstoppable momentum can be said to be vivid, how can they not know their strength?
"My lord, the horse bandits are arrogant, and they still want to take food from Mayi, and the slaughter of Mayi must be untrue, so it is bound to be a small attack, if it is really a battle, it may not be invincible."
"Why is Wen Yuan so self-deceiving? Not to mention that this horse city is ruined, there is no danger to defend, even the cavalry can easily attack the city, even if our vanguard is defeated, the rest of the horse bandits will inevitably be alarmed, so we must not only win, but also win lightly and victoriously! As much as possible, not a single soldier is lost. ”
Wei Tao saw it more clearly than Zhang Liao, and directly shook his head.
"If not, ask General Gao for help? This horse bandit wanders outside the Yanmen Pass, there are thousands of people, and all are cavalry, for the Yanmen Pass is also a big hidden danger, General Gao must also be in trouble, when the time comes, we take advantage of the horse bandits to attack inside and outside, we will definitely win, and then the attack, is to be able to pull out this hidden danger. ”
The more Zhang Liao said, the more excited he became.
But unfortunately, Wei Tao shook his head at this time.
"Wen Yuan's thoughts are not bad, but Wen Yuan has thought about it, although there is a distance from Yanmen Pass, but in fact, it is not far away, so why do the horse bandits 'a gust of wind' still give us three days? It's just that they are constantly monitoring us, and even trying to help us with points. ”
Although Zhang Liao has the qualifications of a famous general, but limited to experience, he is still far inferior, and when he heard Wei Tao say this, his face immediately turned red.
He really didn't think of that.
"General Gao's new occupation of Yanmen Pass is to strictly inspect the merchants, and for that 'gust of wind', it is also extremely damaging, and it must be to give General Gao a deterrent, and at the same time, doing so is also to test whether we are the bait released by General Gao."
Although Wei Tao is close to Zhang Liao, not to mention Wei Tao's more experience, his knowledge is not comparable to Zhang Liao's.
"Huh...... What the young master said is extremely true. ”
At this time, Wang He, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke, and because he heard Wei Tao's words, Wang He also had a little more confidence.
"But isn't that the plan a good one?"
"Oh? What does Uncle Wang mean? ”
Although Wang He is not a strategist, he has a wide range of knowledge when he travels south and north, and he has never seen anything sinister, which is much more spicy than Zhang Liao.
"Although it is said that this horse is dilapidated, there must still be a villager in it, since things are undecided now, why not invite the township elders?"
Hearing Wang He's words, Wei Tao thought about it for a while, and faintly felt a little calculating in his heart.
"Okay, just according to Uncle Wang's words."
