Chapter 168: Strategy
"It's finally over!"
After the person left, Su Junbao put away his majestic posture, replaced it with his usual casual and relaxed, hugged the little chubby dun, patted gently, she should almost sleep.
The moon slave moved his body and leaned over by himself, leaning on him, reaching out and starting to knead gently, this was one of the few moments in Su Junbao's life to enjoy comfort.
……!
The next day, Li Baotian, the hero of the road who had been crisscrossing the eastern border for decades, was hammered into a pulp in front of the battle, and the news that the black demon village under his command had been completely destroyed in just one day spread all over the Fenglan country, and even shook the entire eastern border!
In the past ten years, the imperial court has been symbolic and perfunctory in suppressing bandits in various places, so that the bandits in the east will become more and more rampant and unscrupulous.
Even when they heard the news of the royal expedition of the monarch of Wangcheng, many people didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it was just the whim of the little monarch, maybe he suddenly wanted to play a game like catching bandits by officers and soldiers, and just have an addiction to being a hero and fighting a war.
When he has played enough, he will naturally go back, or after suffering a loss under the hands of the Black Demon Village, he will retreat in disgrace.
The news heard now has shocked everyone, so that everyone who hears the news is repeatedly inquiring to confirm whether it is true or false, and whether it is a rumor.
In just one day, the Black Demon Village, which was recognized as the unshakable overlord of the Eastern Territory, was wiped out, and Li Baotian ended up in a miserable end.
The more the news spreads, the more divine!
Some people also say that Li Baotian was not beaten into meat paste in the fight, but after he was caught, he was tied up by the little monarch, and people trampled on him back and forth with his mount, and was crushed into meat paste alive, so as to punish Li Baotian for his disrespect to him.
Although he is young, his methods are extremely cruel!
But no matter which way it is said, after receiving the news, the bandits who have always been arrogant and domineering have collectively lost their voices, and those bandits who are still happy in the town have also quietly slipped away, leaving the town, and hiding into the infinite plains of the east.
The other party is real, and they must avoid this gust of limelight.
And Su Junbao and others, who won the first battle, were not too optimistic, because it was not too difficult for him to exterminate a gang like Li Baotian who occupied the mountain as the king.
Although the opponent is strong, only if you have enough strength, you can beat it down, and you can find it at any time, relatively speaking, those small gangs with uncertain whereabouts are the real headache.
Su Junbao now has 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10,000 volunteers, but the area of the entire eastern territory is so large, 30,000 horses thrown into it are like throwing a stone in the lake, bubbling up, and disappearing.
Without a definite whereabouts and location, it is difficult for the imperial court officials and soldiers to completely sweep away these small groups of bandits, but if they are not eliminated, it will be extremely harmful, and the consequences will be endless!
On this day, Su Junbao was discussing the tactical plan with the generals in the camp tent!
Some people suggested that the officers and troops should be transferred from other places, and some people said that the men and horses should be dismantled into squads and carried out a carpet search, but in the end they were all vetoed one by one.
It can be suppressed, but it is definitely difficult to clean it up!
"Let's deal with those bandits who have a basis first, and then you can catch them, don't kill them all first, leave a few well-informed ones, we may find out their whereabouts, but these bandits know each other, we can't find it, they may not be able to find it, and it's the best way to deal with bandits."
"In addition, inform Prime Minister Mo to deliver today's relief food for the winter disaster as soon as possible, as long as the people in the east believe that we are really here to suppress the bandits, they will become part of our strength at that time, and they dare not say that they will charge into battle, at least they can provide clues to their whereabouts!"
Su Junbao had no better way but to synthesize the opinions of most people and issue three orders according to his original intentions.
Su Junbao is bent on clearing out the bandits in the east, and the Wuyin Group under his command has already had the strongholds and exact locations of many well-known bandits, and the others are still being investigated.
After the order was issued, the army did not hesitate, divided into several groups and went straight to the goal.
Not every bandit group is as numerous as the Black Demon Village, and it has the strength to compete with the official army, and one or two thousand people are enough to deal with them!
"Boss, we can pretend to be a caravan, lure those bandits out, and then wipe them out, our Qian family's ancestors are from merchants, and we know some of the doorways inside!"
Qian Duoduo looked for it himself, and there were already several younger brothers behind him, and some of his cultivation was still far above him.
"Be careful!" Su Junbao only said.
Qian Duoduo smiled, knowing the character of this brother, he can say these four words a lot, otherwise with his identity, he would not even be able to see each other, and now many people in the army know that he has such a backer.
The anti-bandit team moved quickly, and only three days passed, and good news continued to come! And Prime Minister Mogu set out from Dongfu County, and the delivery of disaster relief food was also completed very smoothly, and he did not encounter a gang of bandits who dared to come out to commit crimes against the wind.
After each winter, many places are in urgent need of food and material support to rebuild due to the depletion of reserves, otherwise they can only wait for death in the coming year, which is called a winter disaster.
It is necessary to prepare before the winter, and to rebuild and support after the winter, and if something happens in the severe cold of winter, many people can only wait for death, which is the cruel living environment on the plain.
For the first time in so many years, the people of the East can finally come in the spring without worrying about continuing to starve. Many places began to plant, and organized village warriors, willing to help the imperial court, they have long hated bandits, and many relatives have died at the hands of bandits.
Su Junbao and Yan Guiyi both stayed in the base camp, listening to the good news that kept coming, Yan Guiyi found that what the eldest brother said was really right, to govern the country first, you must first govern people, find someone who can do it to help you do it, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
If he had to work hard for everything, then he would be too unhappy as a king.
Now, he just needs to sit in the warm tent, practice the homework he should cultivate, and wait for the good news to keep coming!
Another ten days have passed, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, Su Junbao estimated the time, it will not be more than a month before their class teacher returns to the dynasty, no matter how long it is, it will not be good, there are many things to deal with in the royal city, and the monarch, as a symbol of national power, cannot leave for too long.
In a month, he has to complete everything in a month, and return a peaceful peace in the east, when the people can rest and recuperate, and he can also stay comfortably in his national teacher's mansion and do what he wants, after all, cultivation and improvement of cultivation are the most important things for him, and he can't always be disturbed by trivial matters.
