Chapter 868: Boring Blue Jade
Sizhou, Xiushan.
In the mountains and forests, shouting and killing, drums and horns sounded in unison. From time to time, there is a reflection of the sharp edge of the knife and gun, which is hidden in the treetops. At the foot of the mountain, there is a post in ten steps and a post in five steps. The camp camped at the foot of the mountain is densely packed, and the flags cover the sun and the sky, and even the hunting and hunting "Liangguo Gonglan" four-character Daxu seems to have a boundless evil spirit, which can teach the toasts of all the tribes near the left to radiate a chill from the spinal cord.
Under the big sword, a general sat upright on a chair Maza, he was dressed in a long lacquered armor, covered with a red background and gold-edged battle jacket, pressing a knife in his left hand, holding a book in his right hand, and holding a book in his right hand, which was mighty and extraordinary. There were shouts from time to time in the mountains, as if they were killing fiercely, but the general seemed to be unstable, just looking at the book in his hand, not worrying about the situation in the mountains at all. If he is seen by outsiders, he must be praised for his great general's demeanor.
"Guogong, in half an hour, it will be dark when I think it will be." A general stepped forward and said.
"Huh? Oh, so fast. The mighty general Lan Yu suddenly came back to his senses. Just looking at his mighty appearance, anyone would think that he was reading some kind of unfathomable book. However, this is not the case, what he is looking at is not a war book, but the most fashionable book of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Just now, he just saw the part of Guan Yunchang going to the meeting alone, although he had already seen it, he still felt that it was wonderful, so he was quite reluctant to close the "Three Kingdoms" in his hand. "Since the hour has come, let's call the gold and withdraw the troops."
"Today's crackdown is almost over, teach the big guys to bury their own pots and cook, and let's continue to crack down on the bandits tomorrow." Lan Yu patted the dust on his coat and stood up, causing the armor on his body to rattle non-stop. Fang Cai was addicted to the book and didn't feel it, but when he stood up at this time, he couldn't help yawning. "Tsk, squatting at the foot of this mountain every day and looking at the mountain scenery is really boring."
"If you squat for a few more days, I'm afraid that a certain family will become a lookout rock and grow in this dirt mountain where birds don't."
“…… Grandpa Guo, have we been suppressing bandits for too long? Hearing Lan Yu's complaints, this general under Lan Yu simply followed his words and talked about his complaints.
"Those rebellious barbarians are not vulnerable at all, and we can destroy them on the first day...... Now they have been here for a long time, and the brothers are wandering in the mountains every day, and they are all about to become mountain monkeys. ”
"The barbarian tribe has long been surrounded by us, and there are only about a dozen people left...... In the past few days, the brothers were afraid that they would be heavy, for fear that they would kill him if they were not careful. ”
"The barbarians can't descend and can't be beaten, the day before yesterday, a dozen barbarians were forced to go crazy, and they wanted to raise their knives to kill themselves, or our brothers felt that it was a pity to die so many barbarians at one time, and they hurriedly rescued them...... Grandpa Guo, what is this called? ”
"If you play in this mountain again, not to mention those barbarians, the last general will be mad...... Let's hurry up and kill this group of thieves, why torture yourself like this......"
The battle is fought to the point of worrying about the death of thieves, which is indeed rare. Even Lan Yu was rarely teased and bent the corners of his mouth, and said, "What do you know." We can't do it for no reason, we have to have real evidence. ”
"The 'thief head' sent down every day is proof of this. Without these 'human certificates', how can the Fifth Highness of Lianzhou take people everywhere and teach those toasts to be convinced? It's easy to kill them, why don't you be tied up as a 'human witness' for confession and sent to Lianzhou to be killed with those toasts? ”
In the past few days, in addition to the Qin clan, Zhu Su is successively exterminating other Tusi in the Lianzhou Mansion who do not cooperate with the imperial court. The method used is also simple, and you can do it with a direct sentence of "colluding with the barbarian rebels in Sizhou and plotting against them". Those toasts tasted the sweetness of the raid, and naturally they would not object to Zhu Su taking action against those toasts who were stubborn and had already stood on their side.
However, the imperial court should still have a face, and it is impossible to just put on a trumped-up crime without evidence, so Lan Yu has one more task here: to send the barbarian "human witness" who has "confessed" to Lianzhou, so as to teach the people of Lianzhou to be convinced, and know that the government is "hanging high and handling cases impartially".
Because this matter cannot be done all at once, but one by one to force the other unconvinced and unwilling toasts to succumb, so they often need a "human witness" today, and a "human witness" tomorrow, so Lan Yu must be strong and can't kill all the remaining barbarians on the mountain.
It's rare that there is an uninformed person who dares to raise the flag and rebel, if it is wiped out at one time, where can I find someone else?
As for the one that will drive these rebellious barbarians into a nervous breakdown...... Then it is not within the scope of his Liangguo Gong Lanyu.
"You also studied in martial arts, how did you say that popular sentence in martial arts? Oh, 'war is for politics'. Lan Yu continued to preach to the general.
"Our generals now also have to study and become cultural people, what strategy is beneficial, what should we do, it is easy to rush up and kill those barbarians, but if it is a major event of the imperial court, it is too much!"
"Yes, yes, yes......" the general promised. However, there was still resentment on his face: "Even if this is the case, can it ...... Anyway, let's let us and Cao Guogong fall off one by one! ”
"Cao Guogong's subordinates have captured many stubborn toasts and earned some military merits. But let's ......."
"It took so much time to suppress a few barbarians. Outsiders don't know, and they think that the brothers and Grandpa Guo are all soft-footed shrimps...... There are not many military achievements to be gained, and time is wasted in this mountain every day...... When is this day going to be the end......"
Because the imperial court decided to recuperate, military exploits became more and more precious. Li Wenzhong's subordinates have exterminated many rebellious Tusi in the past few days, on the other hand, these subordinates of Liangguo Gong, who were stationed in Lianzhou with Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and others in the past, are now not an inch of success, teach them how not to be blushing.
Even if he can't go through the military feats of exterminating the rebellion and barbarism in the future...... But it took them a long time to suppress the bandits, and the internal reasons could not be disclosed, and other military robes might make fun of them with this, how could they happily receive this military achievement?
“…… Alas. Thinking of this, Lan Yu's eyes were also clouded. Although he also knew that it was for the sake of the overall situation, this kind of practice did also consume his own reputation. He finally made the Duke of the Kingdom, but he was only a second-class duke, and he was still far from the goal of overseas feudalization, how could he be willing to spend time in this place.
“…… The Fifth Highness is not a person who favors one over the other, and may have arrangements for us. I'll just wait for His Highness's orders. Lan Yu said, he was comforting the general, and he was also comforting himself. In the past, he had fought side by side with Zhu Su, and he was still willing to trust this highness.
"Guogong, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, has arrived ten miles outside the camp gate." Before the words could be finished, a sergeant walked over quickly and immediately said to Lan Yu.
