Chapter 268: Pacifying Anhui County
A notice appears on the prefectural bulletin board.
Then there was a soldier in armor, running wildly in the direction of the treasury.
Lu Su stood in front of the gate of the treasury, and tens of thousands of people all gathered over.
rumble
With a loud bang, the door of the treasury opened violently, and the mountain of grain appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Breathing became short, and the old and weak women and children, who were already hungry, all showed expectant looks.
If it weren't for the two rows of hundreds of soldiers armed with swords, I am afraid that order would have been lost long ago.
Gan Ning and Deng Dang looked ahead, and Jia Wu and other Jia private soldiers stood aside.
"The county has an order"
"All the people of Anhui County, please go here and line up"
"Each household is given food according to the roster"
"Thirty stones for the young and strong, and fifteen stones for the old and weak women and children"
"The river in this county is in urgent need of dredging, and all participants who sign up will receive ten dollars a day."
"Many houses in the city are in disrepair, and all participants who sign up will receive ten dollars a day."
“……”
A voice rang out here, and a man dressed in an official's costume shouted at the top of his voice.
The people lined up in front of the men, left their names and imprints on the register, and then went to the treasury to receive food under the guidance of the soldiers.
This food can only manage a month's rations, and I have the heart to find a job.
Lu Su nodded with satisfaction, and slowly left.
Things have been arranged, all that remains is to wait for the precipitation of time.
And the matter of Anhui County, not to mention this one.
……
Anhui County has become a huge construction site, and after the people get back the grain, they run fast.
The announcement clearly stated that all those who worked, whether they were repairing houses in the city or dredging rivers outside the city, would be in charge of food.
In today's food shortage, it is clear that food is the most important thing.
Therefore, the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of people was aroused at once.
Jia Nian felt those busy voices, and his face was full of smiles.
Looking around left and right, Tang Gaoming bowed and led several plainclothes people around him to stride away.
It's really a little unaccustomed to not having Guo Dapang by his side, but after all, Geng Wu and the others haven't returned with the Yellow Turban, so he is still waiting in the Tiance Mansion.
Thinking of this, he dispelled this thought and continued to walk forward.
Outside the city, Lu Su led several officials to watch the ditch in the field, and when he heard footsteps, he looked over.
Seeing that it was Jia Nian, he hurriedly walked over: "Lord"
Several officials saluted from afar and continued to be busy.
"Didn't you distribute food to the people in the treasury?" Jia Nian asked.
Lu Su smiled: "With the two generals Gan Ning and Deng Dang leading the troops to maintain order, where I am already a little redundant"
"And it's about to be winter, this is the perfect time to dredge the ditch, you can't delay" Lu Su glanced up at the sky.
With a little emotion, he changed the topic: "Does the lord plan to go to Gepo tomorrow?" ”
"I have sent an order to Chaohu that the 600 defenders who went to Changhe Town not long ago will be stationed in Anhui County with 300 troops, and it is estimated that they should be able to arrive tomorrow," Jia Nian said.
There was a slight pause: "It's just that the military advisor really plans not to go with me?" ”
"Wanxian County and Chaohu are complicated, but they can be separated from the next?" Lu Su asked.
Jian Ai thought about you and shook his head slowly.
"And to be promoted to the fifth order, I have to make up for this shortcoming, so staying behind is the best choice," Lu Su said.
Stretching out his hand and pointing forward: "Not only that, the lord must leave half of the soldiers and horses behind before he can go out with peace of mind"
"Although Anhui County is safe, but beyond the Lujiang River is not very peaceful, if there are bandits along the Yangtze River raid, wouldn't all the hard work will be in vain," Lu Su said.
Jia Nian thought of the situation in the world along with these words, and couldn't help but nodded.
Don't look at yourself to exterminate Chen Ce, but the forces equal to or even greater than Chen Ce are unknown.
For example, the water thieves entrenched in Panyang Lake in Yuzhang, as well as the thieves in Jiangxia and other places.
"Yesterday I received a letter, Liu Ziyang is in the Assassin's Mansion in Yuzhou, Runan, and the lord will definitely be able to get Liu Ye's help when he goes. What's the difference between going down and not going? Lu Su said.
Jia Nian was stunned: "Liu Ye is in Runan?" ”
"I have been training in the Assassin Mansion of Yuzhou in Runan, and I am looking for an opportunity to break through the fifth order," Lu Su said.
Jia Nian fell into thought: "Why don't I know this news?" ”
"Maybe I want to surprise my lord," Lu Su said casually.
Then he smiled: "But I was exposed by my subordinates, and I don't know if he Liu Ziyang will complain about me"
"No, it should be me who blames him," Jia Nian said with a smile.
Then the conversation changed: "How many troops should be left behind?"
"Three hundred are stationed in Changhe Town and Weixukou, and three hundred are stationed in Anhui County. If you add 100 private soldiers under your subordinates and 100 private soldiers of the lord, and go to Anhui to garrison, you should be able to ensure peace between the two places," Lu Su said.
Jia Nian pondered along these words,
The number of troops in his own hands, if not counting private soldiers, is only 1,600 people.
Now six hundred are left behind, plus two hundred private soldiers, a total of eight hundred is quite a considerable force.
"The lord will bring the soldiers who go out to Runan, and he can take the opportunity to find a way to borrow the Runan military camp to stimulate the potential of the soldiers," Lu Su paused when he said this.
There was a glint in his eyes: "Then these more than 1,000 soldiers and horses will inevitably become third-order soldiers, plus the two generals Deng Dang and Gan Ning."
"Even if you meet a fourth-order elite soldier, you can resist one or two," Lu Su said.
Jia Nian asked: "Do you want Deng Dang, Gan Ning and a thousand soldiers and horses to go on the expedition?" ”
"This time to help, the soldiers are not expensive, and the lord is all about preserving his own strength," Lu Su advised.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Su laughed: "But with Liu Ye here, it shouldn't be difficult for the lord to protect the more than 1,000 soldiers under his command."
"Liu Ye" Jia Nian spit out these two words.
Changhe Town was able to jump up because of his Liu Ye's strength, and he didn't expect to meet again in such a way.
Let's work together and fight Gepo together.
"As for Anhui County and Chaohu Lake, the lord can rest assured" Lu Su did not answer.
Continue to say: "Thanks to the savings of the lord, the ten thousand gold has been transported to the treasury."
"Just use this wealth to recruit displaced people, reorganize the army and reclaim wasteland. I will strive to see 3,000 recruits when the lord returns, and at that time, I will also have the spare strength to deal with the extraterritorial Tiance Mansion and conquer the endless copy world and the outer heavens," Lu Su said.
Fighting outside the territory can be used to train troops, and secondly, it can also enhance the foundation of new recruits.
As long as there is a corresponding level of military camp to activate their heritage, then this recruit can become an elite soldier in a hundred battles in an instant.
At that time, the lord would be able to jump up and have the strength of Jiangnan.
Jia Nian said to Lu Su: "During the absence, there will be a labor division."
"The lord can rest assured that he can fight," Lu Su replied.
