The main reason for the rebellion of the refugees in Pingzhou was because of oppression. As for where this oppression comes from, it is naturally given by those corrupt officials.

Li Chengwen naturally understands the meaning of these two sentences that Chu Mo said, but now he still wants to win back the hearts of the people, which is not easy to say.

"Do you find it difficult?"

Looking at Li Chengwen's frowning appearance, Chu Mo said with a smile.

"Yes, the situation has evolved into the current situation, and it is not easy to regain the hearts and minds of the people."

Li Chengwen said with a wry smile.

"In fact, this time the troops were sent to Pingzhou to suppress the rebellion but it was just a choice. While suppressing by force, what we should do more is to understand them with emotion and reason, so that they can regain their trust in the imperial court. ”

"You have to understand that the reason why the people rebel is because they don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes. As long as we can solve these problems at the root, you say, will they still risk their lives to rebel? ”

Chu Mo said lightly.

"Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to solve this problem at the root. According to what you said to me before, although the method of transferring water from the south to the north is feasible, and my father has already stated that he will fully support me, but if I want to do this, I will need manpower and time......

Li Chengwen said helplessly.

"Manpower? Do you think hundreds of thousands of people in Pingzhou are not enough? ”

Chu Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Chengwen was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Mo who was smiling, and seemed to suddenly understand something, and said, "You mean to say, hire?" ”

"Teachable!"

Chu Mo nodded thoughtfully: "Employing the people of Pingzhou as manpower in the name of the Ministry of Industry, with ten taels of silver as wages per month, once the project is over, the drought in Pingzhou will be solved, and there is an employment relationship with the Ministry of Industry, they can not only get wages, but also ensure that they can eat enough, compared with taking the risk of rebellion, if it is you, how will you choose." ”

"Seconds, what seconds!"

After hearing these words, Li Chengwen's whole person suddenly opened, and his eyes looking at Chu Mo were full of admiration.

"Tut-tut, Mr. Bai is really not Mr. Bai, if he really prints the words of others, whoever gets Mr. Bai will win the world!"

"Alright, don't put a high hat on me. It is imperative that you think carefully about how to regain the hearts and minds of the people. ”

Li Chengwen nodded, and then his gaze fell back on the map in front of him, and Chu Mo at this moment also walked up slowly.

"In our area now, who is the anti-king?"

Chu Mo asked, looking at the map.

"Zhao Tong was also the first person to start this battle in the Pingzhou refugee uprising. At first, they only captured a small town, but now, Tianzhu City has also fallen into their hands and has become their base camp. ”

"In my opinion, if the city is closest to us today, we might as well take the city first."

Hearing this, Chu Mo nodded. If you can capture Tianzhu City and take Zhao Tong, this will be a deterrent to kill chickens and monkeys.

"Then can you investigate how many people this Zhao Tong has? What kind of strength is it? ”

"Of course! This Zhao Tong claims to have 100,000 men and horses, which is the strongest team among the four anti-kings, and it is not easy to take Tianzhu City with our current people. ”

"So?"

Chu Mo asked curiously.

"So, I'm going to give him a blow! I am afraid that the news that our army is stationed here has already reached Zhao Tong's ears, and he is bound to let his subordinates start to take precautions. But if we retreat at this moment and go to other places against the king, then he will inevitably think that the first person we will deal with will be other anti-kings, and let down his guard. ”

After listening to Li Chengwen's words, Chu Mo also felt that this was a good way.

"But if you want to deal with Zhao Tong just like this, it seems that you are a little bit behind."

Chu Mo said lightly.

"Of course, so, before evacuating, I will have someone send Zhao Tong a surrender letter, and in this surrender letter, I will inform Zhao Tong of the number of soldiers and the next purpose."

"According to the information I have received, Zhao Tong has secretly reached an alliance with Wan Hai a few days ago, and the purpose of their alliance is to solve the other two anti-kings. You say, if we lose both of the two anti-kings with the other two anti-kings, will Zhao Tong and this Wan Hai catch us off guard? ”

After speaking, Li Chengwen's eyes looked at Chu Mo. And in Li Chengwen's eyes, Chu Mo finally understood what he was paying attention to, he just wanted to lure the snake out of the hole.

After all, there are a lot of people under Zhao Tong's command, and it is almost impossible for an army of 50,000 to capture Tianzhu City, but what if Zhao Tong himself leads some people out of the city? When the time comes, let Shen Qiu and Yu Zixuan lead 20,000 Beiliang troops to intercept and kill on the road, which has to be said to be indeed a good way.

But at this moment, Chu Mo thought of another problem, that is, the ten thousand seas going south!

If Wan Hai also responded to Zhao Tong's call at this moment and led his men and horses to participate in the battle, once the two sides joined forces, this would be a catastrophe for the 50,000 troops of the imperial court.

Once encircled, it is very likely that all these 50,000 soldiers will die at the hands of these thieves.

Li Chengwen seemed to see Chu Mo's concern, only to hear him continue to speak: "I know what you're worried about, but I've already thought about it." Now that Pingzhou is divided into four parts of the world, these four forces seem to be peaceful on the surface, but they are eager to destroy each other one day, monopolize Pingzhou, and claim the king. ”

"If we can destroy Zhao Tong, this is the best thing for the other three anti-kings. In my opinion, once we fight Zhao Tong, even if it is Wan Hai, we will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight at that time, and it is absolutely impossible for him to come to support. ”

After listening to Li Chengwen's words, Chu Mo also had to give him a thumbs up.

I have to say that Li Chengwen followed his father's side, not only learned a good martial arts, but even learned the ability to lead troops in these conspiracies.

"Now that you've got everything planned, do what you want. Not surprisingly, Zixuan and Shen Qiu should have already entered the territory of Pingzhou, and the matter here will be left to you for the time being, I have to go and meet the two of them, and then explain the matter. ”

Chu Mo slowly stood up, looked at Li Chengwen and said.

"Stay safe on the road, just leave the matter here."

Chu Mo nodded, then borrowed a fast horse and galloped away from the station.

And after Chu Mo left, Li Chengwen also began to act, directly wrote a letter of surrender, and then ordered someone to send it to Tianzhu City......
