Chapter 30: Zhang Liao's Return to the Heart

"There were probably more than 200 deaths in this battle, including those who were in charge. And more than 100 people were trampled on each other, and the rest were willing to surrender. ”

Listening to Zhang Liao's report, Wei Tao couldn't help but shake his head suddenly.

"A rabble is a rabble. It seems that this horse bandit can break through this great reputation by coming and going like the wind, and his strength is really not strong. ”

"My lord laughed, horse bandits are horse bandits after all, if Li Xiong really acted according to the military camp, I'm afraid these horse bandits would have rioted a long time ago."

After successfully winning, Zhang Liao was also a lot more relaxed, and there was a smile of admiration on his face.

"If it weren't for the adults' repeated designs, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to win."

Zhang Liao really admires Wei Tao's several calculations and designs, winning more with less, defeating the strong with the weak, not many generals can do it.

"It's just these rabble, even if it's a more cautious person, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get into the urn, and even if the camp is opened like this, it will let the other party take advantage of it, and the so-called design is just a failure."

Wei Tao will not become arrogant because of this matter, compared to those real strategists, his own calculations are really shallow.

"That is, for these rabble, if I change to someone with a little strategy, then I may not be able to calculate success."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhang Liao just smiled, he was not a person who slipped around and slapped horses, even if he admired those words in his heart, he couldn't say it, but those words of admiration just now were indeed from his heart.

"What does Wen Yuan think this cottage should be?"

Suddenly, Wei Tao fell silent, and after a while, he said suddenly.

"The cottage here is indeed not bad, but it is too far away from Mayi, but not to mention that these people have settled here, the construction of this cottage alone is not easy, how does Wen Yuan think I should deal with it?"

"This ......"

Zhang Liao is not a strategist after all, if it is mentioned in battle, maybe Zhang Liao can still say a thing or two, but when it comes to specific government affairs, Zhang Liao has nothing to say, and he can't answer at all for a while.

"Wen Yuan, what if I set up this place as a military camp? Although these horse bandits surrendered for a while, they were born as bandits after all, and they were wild and untamed. ”

Wei Tao naturally wouldn't ask for no reason, but he already had an idea in his heart, and he wanted to ask Zhang Liao.

"Although this place is far away from the horse town, if you ride a horse, it will only take a few hours to help. As long as I repair the horse yi a little, and then use it as a military camp, even if the Huns attack, it may not be terrible. ”

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Nowadays, there may still be some troubles of horse bandits, but even the 'gust of wind' has been destroyed, even if there are any bandits, how dare they make trouble.

What's more, the slightly larger horse bandits are often wiped out by 'a gust of wind', not to mention worry.

As for Diao Min, if there is nothing to rely on behind, how dare ordinary people become rude?

It's just that in relation to this, there is also the trouble of the Huns.

Don't look at the Huns, it seems that even the horse bandits are helpless, but in fact, it does not mean that the Huns are not strong.

Ma Yi is close to Yanmen Pass, if the Huns don't want to provoke the Han, they don't dare to send troops south easily, not to mention that the Huns come and go, ordinary Huns are naturally deeply troubled.

"This ......"

Zhang Liao also knew that Wei Tao was very good to him, but this was a matter of military power, and Zhang Liao really didn't dare to talk about it casually.

It is impossible for Wei Tao to sit in the military camp, and those who can command here must be confidants.

"Wen Yuan, I mean to let you sit here, firstly, to control military discipline and prevent these people from becoming bandits again, and secondly, Fei Wenyuan is not enough to believe, I don't know if Wen Yuan is willing to help me."

Non-literacy is far from credible.

Wei Tao said very plainly, but when he heard Zhang Liao's ears, there was a thunderstorm, Wei Tao believed in me so much, what if he didn't rely on his life?

In an instant, I saw Zhang Liao's expression change, but after the end, it was transformed into a calm, a firm calm.

Immediately, I saw Zhang Liao pushing Jinshan to pour the jade pillar and kneeling down on one knee towards Wei Tao.

"The lord treats Zhang like this, how dare Zhang not swear to die in return?"

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Wei Tao was immediately overjoyed.

The word lord is not only the title of the monarch by the subordinates, but also the honorific title of the servants to their masters, but it is not allowed to be done unless the confidants and relatives follow the others.

Now Zhang Liao is answering himself that he is a slave for Wei Tao.

Don't think that Zhang Liao is doing his own thing, you must know that Chen Liuwei's family is a big family, and the power is huge.

And the Zhang family, not to mention the decline, was even forced to change their surname to avoid disaster, even if it was the Nie family in the past, compared to the current family background of Chen Liuwei's family, it is also the difference between heaven and earth.

Just by comparing the strength of the two now, and accepting Zhang Liao as a personal follower, then the world may also think that this is Wei Tao promoting the Zhang family and valuing Zhang Liao.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Wen Yuan doesn't have to be like this, I have always been Wen Yuan as a brother, you and I have been on the killing field together, and we want life and death together. If Wen Yuan doesn't give up, just call me a cousin, why be so unfamiliar? ”

Wei Tao said with a smile while helping Zhang Liao up.

"I have Wenyuan's help, like a tiger with wings! In this case, I entrust the affairs of this camp to Wen Yuan, and Wen Yuan needs to bother a lot. ”

"No. Ziyu is rest assured, but with me, I will definitely be a strong army in Ziyu's training department. ”

This time, Zhang Liao did not call the adult as usual before, but also called Wei Tao's cousin, and he had already recognized Wei Tao.

"Okay, in that case, I will leave the fifteenth sergeant with you, as well as those who have been seriously injured, they are also veterans, and they will definitely be able to help you."

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

The sergeants left by Wei Tao are basically the children of the Zhang family who originally arrived with Zhang Liao, and most of the rest are people promoted by Wei Tao when he first joined the army, but as for the children of the Wei family itself, they were all taken away by Wei Tao.

This is trust, trusting that Zhang Liao will not turn this general into his own.

Zhang Liao only felt a burst of heat in his chest, and this trust finally made Zhang Liao secretly determined to follow him to the death.

Although there are many affairs in the camp, Wei Tao really did not stay long, after all, Mayi is now his foundation, so after the general arrangement, Wei Tao immediately led people back to Mayi.

"Young master, is it inappropriate to do this, and even if the young master believes that Zhang Wenyuan, it is appropriate to leave one or two close people. This is the proper meaning, and I think Zhang Wenyuan will understand it. ”

There is no need to rush back to the journey, but to be able to follow Wei Tao is Wang He, the old housekeeper.

"Everything in that cottage is complete, but the outside of the village is deliberately destroyed and disguised, as long as it is repaired a little, it can be restored, and then if you want to take the camp, I am afraid you must have ten times the number of soldiers."

"I didn't expect Uncle Wang to be proficient in military affairs."

Hearing Wang He's words, Wei Tao smiled.

"It's just a mountain bandit, don't say it's a village, even if it's a city, it won't be put in Wenyuan's eyes. What's more, those who want to achieve great things don't even have the amount to accommodate people, so what else can they do? I will not live up to you, and you will not live up to me. Uncle Wang doesn't have to be suspicious. ”

If Zhang Liao would have to settle down in a camp and be willing to fall into the grass, then he would not be Zhang Liao.

"The old man knows."

Since Wei Tao trusted Zhang Liao and said this, Wang He naturally would not persuade him anymore.

"But the young master has been away from home for more than a year, and now that the horse bandits are peaceful, the young master also needs to take care of his family."

"Well, I'll save on this, and if I have the chance, I'll go home."

Don't say it, when it comes to it, Wei Tao is also a little homesick.

No matter how good Ma Yi is, where can he compare to his own home?

"Hang the corpses of these bandits above the city gates as a warning!"

However, when Wei Tao returned to Mayi, he threw all these emotions out of his mind and directly ordered.

Originally, he was still worried that he and others would have to spare horses to transport the corpses, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Although Wei Tao only brought back more than a dozen corpses this time, and the others were all buried on the spot, these more than ten people were at least a small leader, not to mention the corpse of Li Xiong, the leader of the 'gust of wind'.

Soon, there were more than a dozen corpses floating in the wind on the city gate, and the original ones were naturally the group of horse bandits who came to attack Ma Yi.

A row of corpses was hung up, and all the people in Mayi City who were suspicious were all shocked, and they still had a very contempt for Wei Tao's age, where was there any trace left at this time?

In the hearts of many people, Wei Tao is almost a ruthless guy at this time, who dares to be angry?

But this time, Wei Tao didn't make any big moves.

No matter how the people of Diao are their own people, not to mention the reason why Diao is arrogant, it is a disaster of past governance, if it is a good life and education, it can naturally be subdued.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect things to be so difficult, just the combination of grace and power is insufficient, and it is really not easy to convince the people of this Mayi, but it is finally reluctant."

Wei Tao sighed slightly, these days, although there are some results, but Wei Tao can see that the people are still afraid of themselves, and they avoid running away from everything, but they are not convinced.

"But now if this matter continues to develop, it will inevitably not be a hidden worry, although there are great benefits in it, and the Wei family also wants to participate in it, but this matter still needs to set up one or two rules, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Huns continue to grow stronger, and then threaten the Han, when the time comes, my Ma Yi will bear the brunt, and he has cultivated a big enemy for nothing, and he has put himself in......"
