After Yuan Yao listened to Liu Xun's description, he couldn't help frowning again, and at the same time revealed a hint of curiosity.

"Oh? And such things? ”

Compared with Zheng Bao, Chen Ce and other bandits who have been famous for a long time, this gang of Jiang and thieves has attracted Yuan Yao's attention even more.

Because he still has some knowledge of the Three Kingdoms period, among which the famous Jinfan thief is active in the Yangtze River area all year round.

When Liu Xun talked about this gang of Jiang and thieves, Yuan Yao's first reaction in his heart was Jinfan thief Gan Ning!

Moreover, Gan Ning has great ambitions and is willing to be used by others, if Yuan Yao can subdue him, it will be great.

Yuan Yao is worried about his subordinates, there is no one available, if he can recruit Gan Ning, he will definitely be able to become a big help in his hands, even if he deals with Sun Ce in the future, he is definitely very sure.

"This gang of Jiang, how many thieves are there, does Liu Taishou know?"

"The exact number of people is not yet known, but according to those businessmen, there should be about two or three thousand people."

Liu Xun doesn't know much about this gang of rivers and thieves, because although this group of people is in the territory of Lujiang, most of the time, they only commit crimes on the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is not under Liu Xun's control, so he doesn't care about this gang of rivers and thieves.

Only occasionally some businessmen came to visit him, and told him about these rivers, thieves.

And those Jiang thieves are very cautious, never dealing with the people of the government, not even those who collide with the government, and there are very few conflicts, which makes the people of the government despise this group of water thieves even more.

Yuan Yao and Liu Xun talked freely from late evening to late at night at this banquet.

Not only did he learn about the bandit forces near Lujiang from Liu Xun's mouth, but he also asked for a county magistrate position from Liu Xun's body.

He originally wanted to ask Liu Xun for some grain and grass to supplement, but Liu Xun himself also needed to raise a lot of soldiers and horses, and his own grain and grass were not enough, so he naturally couldn't give Yuan Yao more support.

Instead of directly giving Yuan Yao grain and grass, it is better to give Yuan Yao a position as a county magistrate and let Yuan Yao collect grain and grass himself.

In this way, he did not refute Yuan Yao's face, and he himself did not lose anything.

Anyway, he is a Lujiang Taishou, and he manages more than a dozen county seats, and the positions of county commanders in these counties are still vacant.

Originally, Yuan Yao just wanted some grain and grass, but he didn't expect that Liu Xun would be so generous and directly give him a county order, but he didn't refuse, and directly asked for the position of Qianxian county magistrate.

Because he has already set his target on that gang of Jiang and thieves.

In the face of Yuan Yao's request, Liu Xun naturally would not refuse, it was just a county order, Liu Xun didn't care, if he could make friends with Yuan Yao because of this, he would also be eager to do it.

After all, serving Yuan Yao well means handling the things that Yuan Shu explained, and being able to get Yuan Shu's favor is a very important thing for Liu Xun at the moment.

This dinner lasted until almost midnight, and Liu Xun wanted to keep Yuan Yao to stay overnight in the city, saying that he would take Yuan Yao to the Chunfeng Tower in the city to be chic.

However, this proposal was rejected by Yuan Yao.

It's not that Yuan Yao is so high, it's just that there are still some soldiers waiting for him outside the city, as the chief general, if he is not in the barracks, it is difficult to play an exemplary role for the soldiers.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Yuan Yao still rejected Liu Xun's proposal.

Just took the seal of the Qianxian county order, and left from Anhui County with Ji Ling.

After leaving the county seat and returning to the barracks outside the city, Ji Ling opened his mouth and asked Yuan Yao about his next plans.

Yuan Yao nominally came to Lujiang County to suppress bandits, but Ji Ling didn't expect that the banditry in Lujiang County would be so serious.

originally thought that he only needed to suppress a group of bandits, and he could easily solve the problem, and then go back to Shouchun in a high-profile manner.

Unexpectedly, the bandit trouble in Lujiang was much more complicated than he thought.

Judging from the current situation, with Yuan Yao, who is an old and weak soldier, if they want to suppress the three bandits, I am afraid that it will not be so easy.

So Ji Ling didn't have an idea for a while, and wanted to ask Yuan Yao's opinion.

"Childe, we already know about the situation in Lujiang, what are our plans next?"

Along the way, Yuan Yao was already thinking about this question, and when he saw Ji Ling asking, Yuan Yao still answered quickly.

"Next, of course, I will go to Qianxian County to be the county magistrate."

As he spoke, Yuan Yao flashed the seal of the Qianxian County Order in his hand.

Ji Ling frowned, stopped talking, and after thinking left and right for a while, he still opened his mouth and said a word to Yuan Yao.

"Childe, aren't we here to suppress bandits, if you go to be the county commander of Qianxian County, what should we do about suppressing bandits?"

"Moreover, according to the method of training the soldiers, Gongzi, now we have less than fifteen days left for food and grass."

Ji Ling was not worried about Yuan Yao, but worried about these soldiers and horses under him.

After all, once the money and food have bottomed out, let alone suppressing bandits, these soldiers under his command will not mutiny, it will already be very good.

Regarding Ji Ling's words, Yuan Yao nodded lightly, as if he already knew.

"General Ji Ling, don't worry, I already have an idea about money and food, tomorrow, we will go get money and food."

"Tonight, let's get some rest."

Yuan Yao was not nervous about the matter of money and food, he had already had an idea when he came here from Shouchun.

Yuan Yaodu had already said this, Ji Ling naturally had nothing to say, and after giving up his orders, he went down to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, Yuan Yao was in his tent, he didn't sleep well, it was almost summer, there were a lot of insects and birds in the wild, and there were more mosquitoes.

In this era, there is no such thing as mosquito coils, and there are many mosquitoes, where can I sleep.

Fortunately, it was also early in the morning, and Yuan Yao woke up early in the morning, and began to call Ji Ling, preparing to open and go to Qianxian County.

Because Ji Ling has trained the soldiers these days, and the training these days, and most of the soldiers in this warrior camp are veterans, it is now forbidden by order.

Yuan Yao's order was issued, and the people here had already begun to pass in the direction of Qianxian.

On the way, Ji Ling finally couldn't help but ask Yuan Yao curiously, where to get the next grain.

"Childe, our food is missing another day."

Yuan Yao glanced at Ji Ling and smiled faintly.

"General Ji Ling, don't worry, we're going to get grain and grass now."

"Now? Where to get grain and grass? ”

"Have you forgotten what we came to Lujiang for?"

Yuan Yao smiled and continued to answer.

"Bandits."

"That's right, suppress the bandits, there are many bandits in this Lujiang County, are they unable to have food in their hands?"
