Chapter Fifty-Six: Attack and Defense
The two also communicated for more than an hour before they separated.
After the Huangzhou Mansion underwent a night of purge, the five major clans no longer had the arrogance of the past and became decadent and sluggish.
However, the entire Huangzhou Mansion is peaceful.
It was as if all the suffering people had been liberated in an instant, and each of them had a new hope for life.
The peasants whose land was originally annexed became tenants, but after Li Yue's adjustment, they gradually owned the land, and they did not have to pay taxes, and only needed to work every three days to carry out the attack and defense of Huangzhou City.
And all the peasants were given two days' rations for each day they went to work.
Farmers who had already missed the spring ploughing felt that this was a way to survive the second year.
A lot of people were waiting in line to be able to work for Li Yue.
For a time, the entire Huangzhou City was full of vitality.
Li Yue, who was standing on top of the city tower, looked at the hot scene in the entire Huangzhou City, and was very relieved.
But what worries him is that even if Zhou An and Qi Tong are taught and understand the essence of guerrilla warfare, they may not be able to hold Zhang Xianzhong back.
It can only be both offensive and defensive.
Ten days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, it is enough for Li Yue to clean up the entire interior of Huangzhou City.
Lu Taishou and Liu Tongzhi submitted their resignations to the imperial court at the same time.
Li Yue did not make any liquidation of the two, but the two handed over most of their private property before returning to their hometown.
In Sanhuan Mountain, Li Yue was very satisfied and came to the cave where he had already seen the prototype of the fortress.
Seeing the buildings in the cave and some water sources and drains necessary for life, Li Yue understood that this was definitely the key to his control of the entire Huangzhou Mansion.
"Childe, why didn't you give notice in advance? I'm going out to meet you! ”
Chen Lingyue looked at Li Yue with a blushing face, and at the same time stepped forward to salute.
"Miss Chen, don't be so polite, I'm here today mainly to see if the injury on your Uncle Wu's leg is healed?"
Li Yue asked with a concerned face.
"I removed the strip of cloth from his leg three days ago, and it's really amazing, and the festering parts of his leg are miraculously healed."
Chen Lingyue said excitedly.
"Okay, I'm really afraid that this method won't cure Wu Liangyong, and it will make you blame me for the rest of your life!"
Li Yue said with emotion.
"No, how can I complain about Childe? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Uncle Wu and I would have gone down to find my father by now. ”
Chen Lingyue said with a sad face.
"Don't talk about this yet, let's go, take me to see your Uncle Wu and see how he recovers?"
Although Li Yue's face was very serious, he was excited in his heart.
If this method of treating infected ulcers with maggots is successful, there will be fewer deaths due to infection due to drug shortages on the battlefield in the future.
When the two came to the room, it was just in time for Wu Liangyong to finish changing the medicine and practice walking in the house.
"Brother Wu, you just got out of bed and walked, but it's easy to break open the wound!"
When Li Yue saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Engong, don't worry, my own body knows by itself, and it won't be long before I can be like a normal person."
Wu Liangyong said excitedly.
"Don't call me Engong, just call me Li Yue, when you're ready, I still have something to ask for."
Li Yue said very politely.
"Your life and Miss's life were saved by you, if you don't call you Engong, then I will recognize you as the Lord, and my life will be yours in the future."
Wu Liangyong's expression was serious, and as soon as his voice fell, he gritted his teeth and half-knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Li Yue was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Don't be like this, you're a god of war, what's the point of kneeling in front of me? There is no so-called master and servant between us, only brothers. ”
Li Yue said excitedly.
"It's not good, even if you treat me as a brother, in my eyes you are my master, and it is you who keep Lord Chen's bloodline alive."
Wu Liangyong said with a grateful face.
"Whatever you want to call it, when you're ready, I really have something to arrange for you."
Li Yue could see that Wu Liangyong in front of him was definitely a general.
At this moment, Huangzhou Mansion is also the time to employ people.
If there is no such person to guard it, the hard-earned territory will easily change hands.
"Young master, if there is anything you can tell me, you can do it now, you see that my body is very strong now."
Wu Liangyong looked extremely excited, straightened his waist, and looked really good.
But Li Yue could feel that it would take at least ten days for Wu Liangyong to truly recover.
"Okay, I do want to ask you to help me with something, but I won't delay recuperation, and now I'll go back to Huangzhou City."
Li Yue said with a solemn expression.
"Got it, young master, this place should be relatively stable, you don't need me, and I will guard Huangzhou City for you, don't worry!"
Wu Liangyong's face was flat, but his words were very resolute.
"Uncle Wu used to lead troops to fight, and at that time he would retire because he was excluded by his colleagues."
Chen Lingyue was also happy to hear that Wu Liangyong was able to defend a city again and become a military general.
Wu Liangyong, who heard this, also remembered the past and couldn't help crying.
"When I was in the barracks before, I was young and arrogant, I offended some people, lost my official position, and I was cornered, but I was taken in by Lord Chen."
Wu Liangyong said movingly.
"Follow me, you will have a chance, and I will also avenge Lord Chen, isn't it Zhang Xianzhong, sooner or later I will have to clean him up."
Li Yue also knew very well that in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong's final defeat was inevitable.
No matter who it is, they can clean him up in the end.
"Young Master, if one day you can really help me avenge Lord Chen, you will be my reborn parents."
Wu Liangyong knelt in front of Li Yue again with a sincere face, and Chen Lingyue also knelt down at this time.
"Childe, I know you are going back to Huainan, this time the road is dangerous, I also want to go, I can accompany you on the road and take care of you."
Chen Lingyue looked at Li Yue with an expectant expression.
"Okay, then come with me, but all the affairs of Huangzhou Mansion will be entrusted to Brother Wu."
Li Yue looked at Wu Liangyong solemnly and helped him up.
"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely guard Huangzhou City well."
Wu Liangyong said very firmly.
Hearing this, Li Yue also relieved himself and hurriedly began to explain the matter of Huangzhou City to Wu Liangyong.
The most important thing is to explain how to treat the livelihood of nearly one million people in Huangzhou City.
After all the things were explained, Wu Liangyong went to Huangzhou City overnight.
And Li Yue and Chen Lingyue also left Sanhuan Mountain all the way and went straight to Huanggang County.
