"The soldiers on the battlefield fight hard, each for his own master, life and death are just fate." Immediately, Liu Ye looked at Liu Jie who was walking and asked softly

"How did the lord deal with the bandits before?"

"Returning to the military division, the lord's previous practice has always been to reduce killing, and try to collect the thief army for his own use, it is really a heinous crime to show the public to calm the people's hearts, and if the remaining thieves refuse to join the army, they will be incorporated into the tuntian soldiers to cultivate." At this time, Liu Jie came over and replied to Liu Ye first.

"The lord is benevolent, it is better to deal with the mountain bandits like this." Liu Ye praised

Liu Jie continued: "Now that we have lost so many people, and I think that some of these thieves are also strong, I intend to select the elite of the bandits to replenish them." ”

For Liu Jie, life and death on the battlefield are too common, not to mention that both sides are fighting for the first time, and there is no deep hatred at all.

"General righteousness, now in the troubled times, there is nothing more important than a strong man, I remember that before I left, the lord once said to me very solemnly, the future war is to fight manpower and material resources, and now it is really reasonable." Liu Ye is colorful

"My lord is so far-sighted." Liu Jie raised his fist when he heard this.

"I know that General Liu has a lighter view of life and death than us, but our soldiers are not. After getting along for so long, I died of robes and friends. It is impossible to accept those bandits at once. It's better to take it into custody first, and wait until Shouchun City. Liu Ye shook his head and said.

Liu Ye was also tempted to incorporate the soldiers, but he had to take into account the emotions of the soldiers. They are not numbers, but an army of people, and the current situation is really not suitable for incorporation.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, it's me Meng Lang. By the way, now that the bandits have been eliminated, can we transfer all of their troops as well? When the time comes, we will be able to show our true strength, so as to better receive the land of Shouchun.

"Well, what the general said is that I also have this intention, and I will immediately send Liu Gui to inform them to come over." Liu Ye said very approvingly

When everything is arranged, before they leave here, the first thing Liu Ye has to solve is the remaining two thousand thieves in Yushan, which is a piece of fat. You have to hurry up and take it, otherwise when they hear that the army has been defeated and the leader has been cut down, they must not be so frightened that they pee their pants and run away.

It doesn't matter if the person runs away, the key is to take the money and food away. What is Liu Ye lacking in developing Shouchun now. Isn't it just money? And the population Liu Ye is also lacking, after all, Shouchun is so big and was tossed by Yuan Shu, and now there is not much population at all.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ye hurriedly found a small leader who had surrendered. Let him take Liu Jie to Yushan to recruit the remnants of the mountain, and if he refuses to surrender, he will lead the army all the way in.

However, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen, after all, the elite in the mountains has basically been brought out by Li Xiong. What is left in the cottage is the old, weak, sick and disabled, what combat effectiveness can they have? The little leader naturally nodded and took Liu Jie to surrender.

As expected, the bandits heard that the leader of them was wiped out with the elite army, and when they saw the murderous Liu Jie's army, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and the six gods hurriedly knelt down and asked to surrender, for fear that they would be regarded as recalcitrant people, and they didn't know who to reason with when they were chopped off with a knife.

Liu Ye's army easily entered the Yushan cottage, and Liu Jie took the informant thieves to check all the way, and the harvest was very amazing. The grain confiscated was enough to feed the 3,000 men and horses in the mountains for a year, and all the gold, silver and jewelry were converted into more than 3,000 gold.

Liu Ye, Liu Jie and others, who received the money and grain, couldn't help but be overjoyed, Liu Jie said: "It seems that there is a future for being a bandit, so many gold and silver treasures, and so much food, we are really rich."

"Haha, who's to say it isn't? And these money and food are the necessities for our development of Shouchun, this Li Xiong is really a good person. Liu Gui was also pleasantly surprised

After all, it's an era of starvation, and it's still Shouchun that Yuan Shu has wasted. It can be said that as long as you give people enough to eat, others can give you their lives, so as long as you give food, there will naturally be people who are willing to settle down with you in Shouchun.

The overjoyed crowd simply cleaned up, and then set fire to the cottage of the victim, and continued to march towards the destination Shouchun.

In just a few days, Liu Ye came to the gate of Shouchun City with his people, and Shouchun at this moment had already been tossed by Yuan Shu. It was originally a very fertile land, and he could make chickens and dogs jump by him, and the people were not able to make a living. So now Liu Ye's most important task at present is to restore Shouchun City.

As everyone stepped into the city, after entering Shouchun City, what greeted them was a desolation, which was such an important military town, but now it is the people's livelihood is withering, the economy is depressed, and the city is dilapidated.

This is nothing, what makes Liu Ye and others most uncomfortable is the despair on the faces of ordinary people. If the city is broken, it can be slowly rebuilt, and the economic depression can be slowly developed, only this person's heart cannot be lost, and it is urgent to restore the hope of the people.

The ruin of Shouchun weighed a big stone on the hearts of the Lujiang army, especially the despair full of death in the eyes of the people made people palpitate.

Liu Jie's face was pale, and he asked Liu Ye in a hoarse voice: "Military advisor, I originally heard that the lord said that Shouchun had been harmed by Yuan Shu, but I never thought that it had reached this level, what should we do now?" ”

Liu Jie has a straightforward personality and is also familiar with the art of war, but he is not good at such a brain-consuming thing as governing the country, so he has no way to start when he encounters this kind of thing, so he can only let Liu Ye take the idea.

Liu Ye also looked indignant, and said, "What did Yuan Shu, this brute, do?" How did this place come to be? Now that we have just arrived here, our eyes are black, and there is no good way to do it for the time being, so let's find out the situation here first and make a decision. ”

Immediately, Liu Ye looked at Liu Gui and said in a deep voice: "Liu Gui, go and find out what the situation is in this Shouchun, and you must get detailed information." ”

"Yes, my lord"

As soon as Liu Gui left, the atmosphere of everyone was a little dull, but anyone with a conscience could be happy when he saw the people suffering?

Fortunately, this dull atmosphere did not last long, and Liu Gui came back soon.

I saw that Liu Gui's face was blue and he didn't say a word; Under the urging of everyone, a few words were squeezed out from between their teeth: "Just a few days ago, they were robbed by nearby bandits, these bandits have no humanity, not only robbed money and food, but also robbed many women, and killed many people, these beasts even the elderly and children did not let go." ”
