Chapter 97: Weeding

Wangwu Mountain.

Since Sima Zhao was captured alive, the troops stationed in Bingzhou have also withdrawn.

And this made Guo Zhi's reputation skyrocket.

It was spread everywhere, and it was said that Guo Zhi had set up ambushes and traps along the road, so that the officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and finally reluctantly evacuated here.

Guo Zhi sat on the top and looked at the many "generals" in front of him.

Liu Lu sat next to him, and now Liu Lu is a celebrity around Guo Zhi, and he is also an upstart on Wangwu Mountain.

He is better suited to deal with these people than Guo Zhi.

Even more suitable than Wang Yuan.

Although Wang Yuan was the first person to raise the banner of resistance, he was born strong after all, and he also worked as a ranger, but there is a difference between a ranger and a ranger.

In the past, some of the children of the big clans also liked to be rangers, and they usually brought their servants to fight with their friends.

And Wang Yuan, a powerful child, also likes to bring his tenants or family members to mess around.

Only those who are born in the common people like Liu Lu can be regarded as the lowest rangers.

Liu Lu and these thieves in the mountains, their life experience, speech style, and all aspects are relatively similar.

After publicly appearing beside Guo Zhi, Liu Lu began to contact the leaders everywhere, and in a short period of time, he became a celebrity in the mountains, and had frequent contact with various characters and became their friends.

Compared with Wang Yuan, who has a bureaucratic atmosphere, Liu Lu is easier to become friends with them.

He's at home here.

Even Guo Zhi couldn't help but praise him: You are simply a natural thief! Born to be a thief!

Of course, Guo Lu's matter was also played by Liu Lu.

Liu Lu found those leaders and told them: The reason why Sima Zhao withdrew from the army was because of Guo Zhi, he made up a lot of stories about Guo Jun's unparalleled strategy and forced the army to retreat, and at the same time, relying on the fact that this group of people in the mountains did not know the classics, he recounted the fact that Guo Zhao and Sima Zhao exchanged letters, scolded Sima Zhao in the letters, and Sima Zhao left in shame.

These leaders actually believed it.

For a time, Guo Zhi became a god who planned to retreat a million-strong army.

His prestige became higher, and even more thieves came to defect, and Liu Lu also became famous, and everyone thought that he was the number one fierce general under Guo Gong.

Today, these leaders are gathered in the mountains.

Guo Zhi had a straight face, he didn't really integrate into these thieves group, he was still the style of that gentleman, and he probably didn't look down on these people in his heart, and he only cared about doing his own thing.

However, among these thieves, it seems that such a person is really needed.

If it is an ordinary thief, I am afraid that it will be difficult for so many people to dare not have other ideas.

Guo Zhi read out several orders that had been made recently, in short, it was to reclaim, organize households, and organize people to make tools.

said that it was a thief, but in fact these are some hard-working people who can't survive.

Why did the Han people in Biansai gradually become Hu people?

Because I can't survive on farming.

Why did the people of the Central Plains become thieves?

The same is true.

The benevolent government of the temple makes it impossible for them to survive, they can't afford to pay taxes, and if they don't pay, they will be arrested and punished, so what can they do but go into the mountains to be thieves?

Including Zhang Yan in the past, he said that he gathered hundreds of thousands of thieves in the mountains, killed and overbearing, and plundered down the mountain, but in fact, the hundreds of thousands of thieves in his hands were just hundreds of thousands of people who were not recognized by the temple.

Zhang Yan led those people, and they didn't go to loot all day long, they reclaimed in the mountains and established their own cities, Zhang Yan was equivalent to an unrecognized Taishou, or a larger county order.

The same is true of Guo Zhi today, the most work he does in the mountains has nothing to do with looting, and it is still the way to govern the place.

After Guo Zhi finished speaking as usual, he quickly left this place without stopping.

But the crowd was in no hurry to leave.

Liu Lu looked at Wang Yuan opposite with a smile, "General Wang, I have already done everything you told me before, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yuan looked at Liu Lu in front of him, his face was very ugly.

Liu Lu's rapid rise aroused Wang Yuan's vigilance, so he relied on his identity as a patriarch and began to order Liu Lu to do some big things.

His original intention was to suppress Liu Lu, and he arranged a lot of difficult things.

For example, let Liu Lu go down the mountain to raid, to find out the enemy's movements, or to prepare food tools and the like.

But this Liu Lu doesn't know what the situation is, no matter how difficult the errand is, he can do it perfectly.

What Wang Yuan explained failed to stump him at all.

originally wanted to suppress Liu Lu, but it turned out to help the other party become famous, which made Liu Lu completely stabilize his foothold in the mountains.

This can't be blamed for Wang Yuan's ignorance, this is purely because Liu Lu cheated, he was originally in a group with the people outside the mountain, Sili Captain Wang Jing personally came to help, what kind of food and grass tools do you want, and if you want to rob some good and powerful people who do a lot of evil, it is too easy.

Wang Jing directly helped him adjust the minimum difficulty and assisted him throughout the process.

Wang Yuan also realized that something was wrong at this moment, how could Liu Lu accomplish so many things so easily?

But now that Liu Lu is in the limelight, he can't say anything.

"Congratulations to Yang Gong! Yang Gong has made great achievements again, and it won't be too long to surpass us old people. ”

Wang Yuan said.

Liu Lu laughed, brother, your discordant plan is too immature, right?

He opened his mouth and said: "You are the first to go up the mountain, and the rest of the generals will come later, and the order is not so important, everyone has the idea of eradicating the traitors and serving His Majesty, but because of the distance, the time to come is sooner or later." ”

"The order of going up the mountain doesn't mean anything, the important thing is the individual's talent, those who have made merit, those who have talent, should be in a high position, and those who have no talent, those who have no merit, even if they stay in a high position, will be replaced sooner or later, do you think?"

Wang Yuan was speechless.

Several of the surrounding leaders nodded with a smile.

Wang Yuan wanted to win over those who went up the mountain first to deal with Liu Lu, who went up the mountain later, but Wang Yuan and his henchmen went up the mountain first and occupied most of the high positions, and those who came after him were all considered to be the ones who went up the mountain later.

Wang Yuan's strategy and courage are very good, especially among the thieves in the mountains, it is even more prominent, but Liu Lu has done a lot of great things over the years, has been to many places, and has met a lot of people, and the experience and knowledge of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

As a simple example, the person Wang Yuan has ever seen who can fight the most is Liu Lu, and the person Liu Lu has seen the most capable is Wenyang.

This gap in knowledge is here!

Liu Lu didn't continue to pursue the other party, he looked at everyone, and said seriously: "Everyone, although this enemy has left temporarily, the idea of Sima Dog Thief wanting to destroy us will not disappear, I heard that they have begun to prepare, and they will come to attack this year, we have to prepare first."

Liu Lu seems to be the master of this mountain, but what he said was very convincing to everyone.

After reminding everyone not to take it lightly, Liu Lu let everyone leave, and when everyone left, he couldn't wait to walk to the mansion where Guo Zhi was.

Wang Yuan looked at this scene coldly, and the henchman on the side said: "It's really a flattering villain!" ”

"If you run to Guo Gong all day long, you know that you are bewitching Guo Gong!"

Wang Yuan didn't speak, but he pondered in his heart.

How do you deal with this troublesome opponent?

Liu Lu walked into the mansion quickly, Guo Zhi was waiting for him, and when he saw Liu Lu coming in, he hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter from Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Lu smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Zhi.

"This is!"

Guo Zhi couldn't wait to pick up the letter, and then read it seriously.

The emperor did not indicate his identity in the letter, but greeted Guo Zhi as an old friend, and said a lot of things around him, but they were all metaphors, and ordinary people couldn't understand them even if they got them.

Liu Lu has now established his own channel for transmitting news, and has also made contact with Cao Chao, and has received orders from the emperor.

Guo Zhi looked at the letter in his hand and was quite moved.

He hid the letter very seriously, and then looked at Liu Lu, "Then what other orders does Your Majesty have?" ”

In the letter, there were only pleasantries, as well as the feelings of longing, and the explanation of his situation, and there was no order.

Liu Lu came back this time, in fact, with the emperor's order.

Cao Chao hopes that he can weed more.

The emperor said that there were too many weeds in the cultivated land today, and that if you wanted to make it fertile, you had to get rid of the weeds and then cultivate it again.

In order to better carry out this matter, Cao Chao also gave him advice, he hoped that Liu Lu could organize water thieves, so that he could start from the river and go to various places on both sides of the river to carry out weeding work.

Sima Shi's behavior brought enlightenment to Cao Chao, the big clan will also die, the emperor can't kill them, but the rebels and thieves can!

Liu Lu is ready to carry it out, he already has a list of weeds here, and the weeds are also divided into grades, some must be removed, some are partially removed, and some cannot be touched.

But Liu Lu was not ready to inform Guo Zhi of these major events.

Guo blamed himself for being from a big family and having a stubborn personality, he would not support such a thing at all, let him know that maybe he would write to the emperor, asking His Majesty not to do such a tyrannical thing, it would drag Liu Lu back.

Liu Lu said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked you to do your best to appease the people here, don't let them be starved to death, Your Majesty will send someone to slowly receive them, so that they can become the people of Great Wei again." ”

Guo Zhi said very seriously: "The minister is ordered!" ”

Liu Lu said a few more words of reassurance, and then walked out of here, and he looked in the direction where Wang Yuan's courtyard was located.

Companion Guo Zhi can't do this, but Wang Yuan can do it, this person is actually extraordinary in ability and courage, if he can pull him to his side, the weeding thing will probably go more smoothly, right? ?
