Chapter 305: Quelling the Turmoil
"General, it's been a few months since you came to Yunzhou, why haven't you fought yet?" After getting acquainted with Pan Feng, Zhou Bofu felt bored again, and openly and secretly revealed to Li You that he wanted to exterminate the thieves, "These five hundred regiments have almost practiced it, and it will not make much progress if they continue to stay here to train, after all, they have to be allowed to go to the battlefield!" ”
"Bo Fu doesn't have to be anxious, it's just these two days, this is this battle will be based on team training, you can take the Mo Dao team to suppress the formation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "The combat effectiveness of this group of people in the Mixed Yuan Sect is really not very good, if they are let out first, according to the momentum of the broken people, I am afraid that these thieves will break up and flee in a few rounds, and they will not be able to give the newly formed regiment a chance to familiarize themselves with the battlefield."
"General! How so! Zhou Bofu immediately became anxious when he heard this, and he worked hard to persuade him, but he didn't expect to make wedding clothes for others now, "We have been practicing hard for several months, and now we have made great progress compared to Weizhou City, how can we let the strong army watch, but let the new army go to the vanguard?" ”
"Killing chickens with a knife, just like the appearance of the Mixed Yuan Sect, you don't know it, even if you win, what is there to show off?" Li You asked rhetorically, and without waiting for him to answer, he got up and left, "You train the troops well first, and then there is a chance to fight, I will go to discuss the matter of entering the army with Mr. Yao and them first." ”
Leaving the bitter-looking Zhou Bofu in the school grounds, Li You returned to the mansion in the city, "Mr. Yao, who is urging today?" ”
"Lord Prefect, Mr. Lu is here, listen to what they mean, if you don't march again, you will be impeached by the imperial court." Yao Guangxiao squinted his triangular eyes and said, this little pressure did not cause him any trouble, and he had experienced a situation that was a hundred times more severe than this.
"In that case, then lead the troops out of the city tomorrow to exterminate the thieves." Li You said lightly, there is no problem at all for us to go out of the city to suppress bandits, but Yunzhou is now full of thieves, and we can't help but kill them first.
"My lord, look at these." Yao Guangxiao pushed a few pieces of paper, which was the essence he summed up based on the information he collected, "The leaders of the mixed Yuan sect thieves are mainly gathered in Qingkou, Hewan, and Lujiazhuang, which were originally the richest villages in Yunzhou Prefecture, and they occupied them and made a miasma, and the local people were either forced to become thieves or flee to Fucheng as exiles. ”
"This Lujiazhuang is Lu Binqian's industry?" Li You asked.
"Not only Lujiazhuang, but more than half of the land in the Hewan area is also owned by the Lu family, only the Mussel He family, the Huang family, and the Zhou family, although their official power is much weaker than the Lu family, they have been operating in Yunzhou for several generations, and the Lu family can not easily eat it between idle times." Yao Guangxiao thoroughly touched the grievances of the local families in Yunzhou during this time, "The Lu family coveted their land, and there were many disputes before; Lu Binqian had also hinted to the poor monks before that he wanted to put a thief's hat on the three families after driving away the thieves and took away their land. ”
"How much food did these three families give when they first persuaded donations?" Lu Binqian must be the biggest obstacle for Li You to control Yunzhou, if these people are interested, Li You doesn't mind supporting them to have a good fight with Lu Binqian.
"Although these three families don't give as much as Lu Binqian, they are a lot compared to their family background." At least in terms of attitude, these people are much better than Lu Binqian.
"In this case, let's make mussels first; By the way, Lu Binqian's words reached their ears. "I didn't have time to solve the problem for Lu Binqian first, as the biggest tyrant in Yunzhou, I was still reluctant to pay for food at this time, so let's continue to wait; In addition, if the Yunzhou gentry are united, Li You may not be very easy to deal with, but who made Lu Binqian too greedy, this kind of conspiracy and trickery to sow discord is suitable for Yao Guangxiao to play, and after this battle is over, the contradictions between the He family, the Huang family, the Zhou family and the Lu family will only be greater.
"The lord should let the officials and gentry of Yunzhou see the combat power of the regiment, but it should not be too exaggerated, it needs to be just right." If the combat effectiveness is too weak, they will think that Li You is useless to stay in Yunzhou, and may find a way to take away control of the group training; And if it is a devastating victory, it will arouse their vigilance, and in addition, it will make them think that with these regimental trainings they are enough to exterminate the rebels, and they will be even more stingy with the money and food to expand the regimental training.
"Well, thank you for the mention." These Li You have also thought about it a long time ago, and he has also made corresponding preparations, "Qingkou is close to Jiazhou, and after recovering this place, some regiments will be divided to train in Jiazhou, and they will be said to the outside world that they died on the battlefield." ”
After discussing with Yao Guangxiao, Li You found Fan Li and Sima Cuo again, and carefully studied the topography of Mussels, the number and distribution of thieves and other information, Fan Li had already arranged manpower in the Mixed Yuan Sect, and he was very clear about their internal situation, "The leader of the thieves in Mussel is Liu Mingming, the nephew of Liu Song, the left protector of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and this Kou has three hundred backbones of the Mixed Yuan Sect, most of whom are bandits and bandits, but they also have some martial arts, and they can fight without regard to death, and the rest are thousands of homeless people who are carried by them; The five hundred regiments under the king's command were enough to exterminate them. The only difficulty is probably that there is a big mountain between Qingkou and Yunzhou Fucheng, and only through the valley is guarded by three hundred defenders, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Fan has already bought the leader of the thieves in the valley defenders, and he can pass safely when the time comes. ”
"There's Dr. Lao Fan." Fan Li is thoughtful and thorough, and Li You is very satisfied.
"Let's go to Mussel this time, let Mr. Sima and Jun Shang go together." Fan Li made a suggestion, although he had never heard of Sima Cuo's name before, but during this period of contact, he was extremely impressed by his ability in the room, and willingly transferred this set of people to Sima Cuo's hands, and the name was also changed to Black Ice Platform according to Sima Cuo's suggestion, so Mussel's operation became Sima Cuo's first task.
"That's very good." Seeing that these two people did not have a disagreement, Li You was deeply pleased.
Everything was ready, and after going to Yunzhou Mansion to find the prefect Wei Ziyang to extort a sum of money, Li You set off with five hundred regiments and Zhou Bofu's Modao team, preparing to go to Qingkou to level the thieves.
After knowing the destination of his trip, Lu Bin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and He, Huang, and Wednesday were overjoyed, not only immediately sent money and food to reward the army, but also sent the children of the clan to act as a leading party to guide Li You, and by the way, to report the situation of Musselswa.
Such a big movement did not hide from the spies of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and they quickly spread the news to the ears of Song Zhiqing and Liu Mingliang, who was stationed at the mussels, along the path. (To be continued.) )
