As soon as they rode from afar, the eyes of the three people who were talking turned to the direction where the war horse was running, Liang Da and Tang Qiang stood up, their faces showed joy, it was Shu Hui, he also sat up straight and put down the wine glass in his hand.

The news from Feng County has arrived.

The knight turned over and dismounted, came straight to Shu Hui, knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, there has been news from Feng County." ”

"Bao Bufan has already taken Feng County?" Shu Huiyun asked lightly, as if everything was under his control.

There was a hint of embarrassment on the knight's face, and he was silent for a while before he said: "No, Bao Bufan suffered a big defeat in Feng County, five thousand troops, tens of thousands of people, all of them were defeated, most of them became prisoners, Bao Bufan fled in the wilderness, it is estimated that there will not be enough people who can escape with him." ”

"What?" Liang Da and Tang Qiang both exclaimed in surprise, and looked at the messenger who reported the news incredulously, "The news is true?" ”

"The message is true." The person who came nodded affirmatively: "Now Feng County is collecting and resettling these prisoners, and tens of thousands of prisoners can't be concealed at all." ”

Liang Da and Tang Qiang both turned their eyes to Shu Hui who was still sitting still, this big man from Chang'an, his expression did not change, but both of them clearly saw that Shu Hui's hand was full of muscles when he picked up the wine glass again, and it was obvious that Shu Hui was trying his best to suppress his shock.

"Liang Da, this time I came, you mentioned to me that there is a bandit in Yanshan that defeated Liu Xingwen's 5,000-strong army and forced the Shayang Liu clan to negotiate peace with him, right?" Shu Hui looked at Liang Da.

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing, but the last time Liu Xingwen failed, the biggest reason was the mistake of intelligence, coupled with the light enemy, he was lured to the Jedi by this gang of bandits to end up like this, they are no more than a thousand people at most, this time, Bao Bufan is 5,000 troops, tens of thousands of people are strong, how can he follow in his footsteps?" Liang Da swallowed.

"General Liang, according to the information we have received, this time it is indeed this group of bandits entrenched in the mountains, but the number should be more than two thousand, they are in the field, and they defeated Bao Bufan by force." The messenger of the messenger emphasized.

"It's kind of interesting!" Shu Hui smiled faintly, tilted his head, and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Who is the leader of this group, do you hear clearly?"

The messenger of the news shook his head: "This point has not been inquired about until now, externally, this group of people are Zou Ming and Wang Hou, these two people are not only Yueren, but also locals, but it is obvious that the two of them are just acting on orders, at their heads, there is a big leader in charge, and this person is a ninth-level master, according to reliable sources, there should be two ninth-level masters in this gang of bandits, and the strength is quite amazing." ”

"Two ninth-level masters, hehe, when did the ninth-level masters become so worthless, and a bandit's den can produce two?" Shu Hui stood up and clapped his hands, "At this time last year, Feng County did not have a single soldier, and after half a year, there was an army here that could defeat five thousand county soldiers, and today, it is even more amazing, even Bao Bufan is embarrassed, this gang of bandits is amazing!" ”

"My lord, what shall we do now?" Liang Da asked.

Shu Hui looked at the two of them with a smile: "General Tang, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"My lord, according to the opinion of the last general, we should take advantage of its fledgling wings to exterminate it, otherwise it will become a disaster for the great Qi as time goes by." Tang Qiang said sharply.

"General Liang, what do you see?"

Liang Da pondered for a moment, "My lord, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, this gang of bandits is entrenched in the deep mountains, the mountains are deep and dense, the terrain is dangerous, we don't know how many opponents there are, let alone where their nests are, how many cards there are along the way, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, in order to win a hundred battles, we don't know anything about them now, if we want to suppress, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

"You mean to stroke?" Shu Hui asked.

Liang Da said with a smile: "This last general can't say clearly, just let the adults decide everything." ”

Shu Hui sighed: "If I can suppress them, I really want to suppress them, in just half a year, they have developed to such a scale, this speed makes people feel a little scared, but how can they be suppressed?" Thousands of years ago, Emperor Li Qing, who ruled the world wisely and martiously, was helpless against these reckless mountains, and finally had to formulate a strategy that took a hundred years to quell the rebellion in these mountains. ”

"Now those people are just some bandits, whether they are friends or foes, they are not sure, or they can be appeased, if the appeasement is successful, not only will we add an elite army, but also a sharp sword that we will insert into Shayang County!" Liang Dadao.

"We can't figure out the details of them, so we can't act rashly." Shu Hui shook his head, "But they defeated Bao Bufan, but it made us have one less worry, at least we don't have to worry about those locusts in Mo Luo for the time being, and now they have formed a feud, with Mo Luo's temperament, it must be an endless situation, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Liang Da, you have been sitting in Dengxian County for a long time, and you have old memories with those characters in Feng County, and now Wang Hou, who is in charge of Feng County, doesn't he have an intersection with you? You want to get to the bottom of them. ”

"The Admiral understands." Liang Da nodded.

"I didn't gain anything, but I didn't lose anything!" Shu Hui suddenly laughed and glanced at Liang Da and Tang Qiang, "You don't have to be too depressed, whether it's Yue Ren, Mo Luo, or these bandits, in the eyes of our Daqi, it's just a disease of scabies, although it's a little upsetting, but it doesn't hinder the overall situation." ”

"My lord, the last general was ordered to come over and prepare to attack Bao Bufan, and now Bao Bufan can't be beaten, is the last general leading his troops back?" Tang Qiang asked.

Shu Hui thought for a moment, "You should stay here for a while, your boss, I will go and talk about it, and then we will talk about it after we find out the details of these bandits and make sure that they are harmless to us." Otherwise, as soon as you go, with Liang Da's current strength, I'm afraid that I really won't be able to stop their edge. They have won this battle, maybe their hearts are high, and they want to come and tease us? ”

"The last general obeys the command, it's just the logistics supply of this army?"

"Let Liang Da raise it for you." Shu Hui said indifferently. "Liang Da, you don't have a problem, right?"

"Of course, my lord." Liang Da said repeatedly.

Feng County, the current county commander Wang Hou looked at the stack of thick rosters in his hand, and looked at the kitten with some worry, "Kitten, isn't this a problem for me, general?" These people are all captives, let me settle them now, how to settle them? ”

The kitten laughed and said: "Lord Wang, didn't you always complain that Feng County was swept by the Qi people several times, with heavy casualties, a large number of fields were abandoned, and no one cultivated them?" These people are good farmers, aren't they exactly the people you need? ”

"I need people, but I dare to use these people? Let me divide the land among them, no problem, but will they settle down and plant? They have been bandits, and they are used to robbing, and they are divided into towns and villages and make trouble, which is not a joke. Wang Hou frowned.

"Don't worry, my Lord Wang, I have already thought about this question for you when I was making the screening, first of all, among these people, there is not a real soldier of the Shuntian Army, basically they are all ordinary people who have been wrapped up, and second, these people are not alone, they are either fathers and sons, or brothers, and what I give you is only one of them. And the other one? The kitten looked at Wang Hou meaningfully.

Wang Hou suddenly realized: "The other one will be escorted to Taiping City?" ”

"Yes, one is divided into fields and houses here, and the other is going to Taiping City, you might as well clearly tell these people that if they dare to make trouble, dare not feel at ease to farm here, or dare to escape, then the other one is definitely a dead end. Moreover, Brother Wang, you used to be a person who was responsible for the punishment, and these people will be assigned to a certain place in the future, and they will be a whole, and when the time comes, one of them will run away, and all of them will lose their heads. Hehe, under the sitting-in-the-table system, even if some people have the heart to escape, they are afraid that other people will not allow these people to go. The kitten sneered. As long as they settle down here, plant a season or two of grain, have a harvest, and have a stable home, they may not be willing to leave if you drive them away at that time! Mo Luo responded to the call in Changyang County, why? Isn't it because they can't survive? Now I can let them live, if they still want to rebel, it will be cheap, and it is not a pity to kill, the boss asked me to expand the army in Feng County by another thousand, but it is not for the sake of watching here. ”

"In that case, I'm relieved." Wang Hou nodded again and again, and said happily: "This time, when we arrive in the autumn, our income will increase greatly." How will these people be taxed at that time? Same as the people of Feng County? ”

"Of course, since they have settled here, everything will naturally be treated like the people of Laofeng County, otherwise, how can they be heartfelt?" Kitten said: "The boss said that if we want these people to become our stable support in the future, the first step is to capture their hearts." Let them understand who is really good to them, and let them know that in our place, we treat them as human beings, and when we leave us, they will only be treated as dogs in other places, and when they understand this, who will be dogs instead of people? ”

"The general said it well. If you want to win someone, you must first win their heart. Wang Hou patted the roster in his hand, "Spring sowing is busy, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, so I won't talk to you about it, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

"Waste to be rebuilt, you are busy and I am busy." The kitten smiled: "You make money, I train soldiers, you raise me, I protect you, the two of us, now we are two generals, we have to support each other." ”

"This is natural." Wang Hou laughed. (To be continued.) )
