Lujiang ruled Shucheng, and while Yao Yu reorganized the army, he sent a steady stream of prisoners back to Jiangxia for detention.

At the same time, he ordered people to repair the city and put up a list to calm the people.

In Shucheng, there were nearly 300,000 stones of grain and grass collected by Chen Jie, which was enough for the army under his command to eat until it was moldy.

No, Yao Yu directly opened a position to help the people, and in Lujiang County, he received a wave of people's hearts.

After all, from the beginning of the Zhangchang Rebellion four years ago, to the crusade of the imperial court in the middle, even if it is a regular army, after capturing a city, it will plunder and reward the soldiers.

But Yao Yu's department is different, Yao Yu strictly restricts his subordinates, and when he enters the city, he does not commit any crimes, and if he wants to reward him, you can, I will give it to you.

If you want to find a woman to vent, you can, go to the Qinglou to pay for consumption.

But whoever wants to harass the people, then don't blame me for turning my face and showing no mercy.

In order to show his determination to everyone, Yao Yu even brought in Yao Bao and Chen Zhong, two henchmen, to act in a play, and asked the two to pretend to rob the people, and beat them up in public, and only half of the breath remained.

As a result, the people of the three armies were terrified.

This is just an idea, and he was beaten so badly before he took action, if he really did it, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

For a time, Yao Yu's name spread all over Lujiang.

The people praised one after another, the Zhennan generals and soldiers are here, and everyone's good days have come.

On this day, Yao Yu was sitting in the Shucheng Taishou Mansion, watching the file of Lujiang County.

Digesting the new territory that was easy to take.

"Brother, Yong has sent news that he has successfully occupied various ferries, as long as you give an order, the army will be able to cross the river and attack Danyang."

Yao Bao grinned and reported the situation, he was transferred from Yong's hand by Yao Yu, thinking that he was giving himself a new task, but he didn't expect it, but he pulled him over and beat Liwei to act, which made Yao Bao especially speechless.

After listening to Yao Bao's report, Yao Yu put down the file and said to Yao Bao: "At present, the most important thing for our army is to occupy the Lujiang River and connect it with Runan County. If you cross the river, you are not in a hurry. Our army fought hard for days and days, and after removing the wounded, there were less than 7,000 soldiers left in the battle. This bit of soldiers and horses, let alone swallowing Chen Min, who has been running the land of Sanwu for several years. When his army gathers, whether we can keep Lujiang is still two words. ”

Yao Bao sighed: "Isn't this a waste of opportunity?" ”

Yao Yule said: "How can it be a waste of opportunity, we carry the power of great victory, as long as we stay in Lujiang, then Chen Min will not dare to act rashly." As long as we wait for our side to replenish the troops in time, then it will be easy to wave the army across the river, take Danyang, and pacify Chen Min. Got it? ”

Yao Bao blinked, as if he understood or not.

"Okay, Yong Ju will let him stay still first, what are the results of Shen Lin and Gao Kan's two northward journeys?"

"Oh, Shen Lin captured Gushi, and Gao Kan took Yangquan. Today, Runan and Lujiang counties are perfectly bordered. The faithful brothers who stayed in Runan could lead their troops south at any time to support Lujiang. ”

Yao Yu nodded and hummed: "In this way, we can be regarded as having a piece of territory in Jiangnan." Lujiang is different from Jiangxia, for Jiangxia, we belong to the guest generals. Although Lu He was disposed of, Jiangxia still nominally belonged to Wang Cheng after all. But Lujiang is different, we hit it with one knife and one shot. You have to make a good living. ”

Yao Bao nodded and asked Yao Yu: "Then brother, do we need to call all the people in Jiangxia?" ”

"No, it's a matter of time before you attack Wang Cheng, if you call the class Suo Hong and them over at this time, Jiangxia will no longer have our territory except for An Lu and Jin Chun. When we turn our faces with Wang Cheng in the future, we will have to fight again, and it will not be good if we lose our troops at that time. Let's let them stay in Jiangxia first, and slowly, turn Jiangxia into ours. ”

"Okay, I see."

While speaking, Yao Yu suddenly tilted his head to look at Yao Bao, which made Yao Bao pause: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, did it still hurt when I hit you before?"

Yao Bao heard the sound and grinned, although it hurt, he also endured it: "It's okay brother, my rough skin and thick flesh don't hurt." ”

Yao Yu sighed: "Ah Leopard, I have no choice but to beat you." You must know that in the army, your status and identity are second only to mine. Although the Yongji class schedule is ahead of you, we are brothers, and you are the head of the clan. Only by punishing you can we have the effect of solemn military discipline. Before you impulsively lost An Lu, I didn't kill you, it is already considered favoritism. If a team wants to win all battles, it must have strict military discipline and enforce prohibitions. More importantly, we must stand with the people. If we want to overthrow the gate valve system, we can't do without the support of the people. But everyone followed me from Runan to Jingzhou all the way to fight hard and risked their lives, I can't really do anything to them, in this way, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. Therefore, only you and Chen Zhong are the ones who will do this. ”

Yao Bao's eyes moistened: "Brother, don't say it, I know what you mean, and I don't blame you for your thoughts." ”

"Well, I know, but I'm going to make it clear, I don't want any misunderstanding between our brothers. Second brother, I'm not worried, it's just you, with an impulsive temper. In this case, it is difficult to take charge on your own. Now that I am training you, why not cultivate you again? I believe that the punishment for you these days is almost enough, and from now on, you will be reinstated and continue to serve as your conscription general. ”

Yao Bao was stunned: "But brother, I haven't done much yet." ”

Yao Yu smiled and said, "If I say you have merit, you have merit." Alright, let's go down and apply the medicine. Let's work together to turn Lujiang into our territory as soon as possible. ”

Yao Bao agreed, turned around, and went.

He walked with his front foot, and Lu Bi came in from outside the tent with his back foot, and the two of them looked at each other, and both snorted when they saw each other.

It is not difficult to see that Yao Bao was also unhappy because Lu Bi stopped him a few times ago.

"My lord, there is an envoy from Chen Min outside the city who asks to see you."

Lu Bi also ignored Yao Bao, and crossed him to report directly to Yao Yu.

This made Yao Bao, who wanted to go out, pause, and ran back in a few steps, staring at Lu Bi with wide eyes, and looking at Lu Bi in astonishment: "What did you just say?" Chen Min's messenger has arrived? ”

Lu Bi sighed, followed, and looked at Yao Bao with a strange face, as if he wanted to say what does the messenger have to do with you.

"Brother, what does this Chen Min mean, we fought him so badly, and robbed his Lujiang County, why did he send a messenger to find us?"

Listening to Yao Bao's chatter, Yao Yu's brows furrowed slightly, but soon, he figured out what Chen Min meant.

I saw Yao Yu smile: "If I guessed correctly, Chen Min couldn't withstand the pressure and came to us for peace talks." ”
