Chapter 50: The Three Elders of the Township
Liu Wei stopped Sang Hong, who took the initiative to seek death, and then rewarded the three elders and You Yi who were still ready to intercede.
Honest people are so happy to even find death, but the real wicked still want to seize every opportunity to struggle before they die.
Liu Wei, who was a little embarrassed, directly ordered someone to smash the teeth of the third elder and Youyou.
It is better to hear them whimper with their leaky mouths than to hear them complain of loyalty.
Although Sang Hong did not die, he seemed to have been greatly traumatized in his heart.
Especially Liu Wei's good man, it seems that he can't come back to his senses for a long time.
"At such an age, you still can't get over the little things you used to do, and you are indeed a talent. I want you to be the third elder, can you do a good job? Liu Wei looked at this man who had no temper and no ambition, and he really didn't know what to say.
It stands to reason that with his kind of character, he will definitely not be able to be a leader in this world.
But he did a good job, although the hundreds of families in this area were extremely poor, but there was no starvation to death like other places, fleeing famine and so on.
"Your Majesty......" Sang Hong raised his eyelids that seemed to be a little heavy, and said very unconfidently, "I haven't done a good job in managing more than 100 households in this village, if I am the third elder and the people of this township, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it." ”
"And...... He is not yet fifty years old, and he is forty-two this year. ”
Liu Wei couldn't stand Sang Hong's twisted and pinched posture, "You are less verbose, you can manage a hundred schools well, I believe you can also be a good three elders." Fifty years old is the rule set by Gao Zu, and I don't recognize it. Let you do it, you do it. ”
Sang Hong faced Liu Wei's extremely tough attitude, and nodded helplessly, "Obey the order." ”
……
The battle on Bears Ears Mountain lasted for three days before it ended.
Luo Bao, who was holding back a lot of strength in his heart, went crazy directly on the mountain.
The battle had been won on the first day, and the bandits had no resistance and hid in the woods like rats. But Luo Bao did not stop there, after defeating the large number of bandits, he immediately dispersed his forces and searched the mountains in a team of ten people.
This search lasted for two days.
And he also asked people to shout in the air while searching the mountain, telling those bandits that those who surrendered only asked about their guilt, and if they resisted, their families would sit together.
Although this is a lie to the bandits, the bandits don't believe it.
When the thieves go directly to their accounts, even the giants have to panic.
Yinglin, who was guarding the mountain, originally wanted the cavalry to turn into foot soldiers and kill them up the mountain, but was stopped by Xun You, who rushed over.
"Strategist, are we really watching down here?" Yinglin threw the dried firewood into the fire and asked Xun You.
Xun You was roasting a rabbit, using the method that Liu Wei had taught him.
"The British general is relieved. He Miao was able to lead them to clear Jing Zhaoyin's bandits, which was enough to prove their strength. Xun You said, "Your Majesty wants to see some changes in them, and it is also an opportunity for them." ”
"This determines whether they can be used by His Majesty again."
Yinglin was a little bored and took a branch to the fire, "I have to say that Your Majesty really has a set of military training." We people stayed in the West Garden...... It seems like it's been almost nine months now, and I think it's the way it should be. ”
"But how long has it been since they robbed them? There is no serious practice of anything, but it is completely different from what was once obvious, it is completely like two armies. ”
Xun You said with a smile, "Some people are born different, Your Majesty is a social leader, and it is even more appropriate to be able to do what others can't." ”
He couldn't help but think of what the emperor had said about sleepwalking in three thousand worlds.
Maybe...... That's true.
His words could fool Yinglin, but Xun You himself knew that those words could not fall to the ground.
No matter how capable the emperor is, he is still only a fourteen-year-old boy.
"Strategist, I would like to ask you presumptuously, where did you say that Your Majesty learned these skills? It can't really be self-taught, right? Yinglin leaned closer to Xun Yu and asked curiously.
These words really stumped Xun You, he chuckled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe...... Both. ”
Yinglin was about to ask, but he suddenly heard the neighing of horses on the mountain road.
He immediately stood up, and after taking a look, he said with a smile: "The military advisor is really as wise as a torch, it seems that Captain Luo fought very well in this battle." ”
"That's also Your Majesty's merit, and it has nothing to do with me. Yo, my rabbit is just roasted. Xun You smiled and picked up the rabbit from the fire, "I don't know if it will be a little shabby to reward Captain Luo with this thing." ”
"If Captain Luo learns that this rabbit was roasted by your own hands, I'm afraid that not only will he not feel shabby, but he will be flattered." Yinglin quipped.
Xun You smiled and shook his head, "You are a person, how can you be like Zhao Ye." ”
Yinglin shrunk his neck, "The humble position is not as yin as Zhao Ye, like a ghost, and he will stab people in the back quietly." ”
After chatting for a few words, the two had already met with Luo Bao who was going down the mountain.
Luo Bao, who was covered in blood and looked a little embarrassed, stepped forward and made a gesture at Xun You and Yinglin, "Military division, General Ying." ”
"I was incompetent, and I searched the whole mountain, but I still ran a lot of fish that slipped through the net, and it is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of people."
Xun You said: "Captain Luo has done a good job, why blame yourself? ”
As he spoke, he handed the rabbit out of his hand, "It is expected that Captain Luo has not eaten well in the mountains in the past two days, so when he was waiting, he specially roasted it for the general." Coincidentally, the rabbit was just roasted, and Captain Luo went down the mountain. ”
As Yinglin said, Luo Bao was suddenly a little flattered.
After this period of contact, he knew very well how much the emperor trusted Xun You.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a red man in front of the emperor.
He took the roast rabbit a little awkwardly and said with a smile, "Why don't you enjoy it together?" ”
"Good!" Xun You gladly accepted.
One of the most ordinary game meats, but the two of them made a courtesy exchange, which made Yinglin a little crying and laughing.
The three of them had a simple meal of roast rabbit by the fire, and Luo Bao, who was always thinking about those fish that slipped through the net, said: "The bandits who escaped on Bears Ears Mountain are always a trouble. The last general also gained experience when Jing Zhaoyin suppressed thieves, these thieves have become accustomed to looting for nothing, and they can no longer go to honest farming. ”
"After escaping today and hiding for a while, they will inevitably return to their old business and start the business of robbing homes again."
Xun You's head expressed his agreement, and said: "I will talk about this matter, Your Majesty, and order the county, township, Ting, Li, Shi, and Wu to strictly investigate and correct themselves. Those places where His Majesty has not yet walked should have heard some rumors at this time, even if it is to cover up for the thief, it will not be as blatant as before. ”
Luo Bao said with a regretful face: "This matter is really a dereliction of duty on the part of the last general, and now it has to be like this." ”
"Captain Luo fought a very brilliant battle, and His Majesty and I all saw it." Xun You reassured again.
He Miao, who is not doing his job, has such a subordinate who admits death, Xun You was a little surprised.
Luo Bao's demeanor at the moment, anyway, he couldn't see anything fake.
He really seems to blame himself from the bottom of his heart......
