As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. Everyone knew that Liu Yu would think of his old friendship and give Liu Jingxuan an official position, but no one thought that Liu Yu would directly let Liu Jingxuan lead the army as the commander-in-chief. Even Xiang Jing opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.
: "Here, brother Jinu, you don't know how to..."
Liu Jingxuan was stunned for the first time, then shook his head and said: "Slave, this is not good, it will break the rules. I have not made any achievements, but I have caused a big disaster. I just came back..."
Liu Yu calmly looked at the generals in the tent. Most of them lowered their heads and said nothing. Obviously, this was a silent protest. Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, do you think I am unfair and let Ah Shou directly become the general?"
General of the reinforcements, why is everyone dissatisfied?"
Sun Chu, who was beside Xiang Jing, said in a deep voice: "Jinnu, you are the commander, and you have the final say on these things. Even if you let a cook be the general, we can only obey. However, if even we don't feel that
To be fair, Xile and Wuji are more aware of their differences. If everyone has a rift and cannot work together, it will miss the big deal."
Almost everyone nodded in agreement, Liu Yu nodded: "Ji Gao (Sun Chu's name) said it very well, does everyone mean this?"
Yu Qiujin said in a deep voice: "Ji Nu, you are remembering old friendship and promoting Ah Shou. Everyone knows this. If you let him serve as a deputy commander and follow him to make meritorious deeds, then everyone will have no objection, but..."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Does everyone think that I asked Ah Shou to take the credit this time?"
Everyone was moved in their hearts and murmured to Xiang Jing: "Yes, we all know Brother Ashou's abilities. He is not one of those children from aristocratic families who cannot fight and can only follow him to gain military merit."
Liu Yu looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Xile and the others will encounter a strong enemy this time. The Beifu Army stationed in the capital finally settled down, established their respective responsibilities and defense zones, and were responsible for training new recruits. If it is
Sending the existing capital troops and Wudi garrison for reinforcements will cause chaos in the defense. In fact, we have recently sent our brothers to various places to suppress the powerful, so we may face retaliation from the remnants of the local tyrants in various places."
Having said this, Liu Yu stood up and said, "Everyone knows about brothers Ling Shi and Chao Shi. They went to Wukang County. I just received a report from them in Wukang." He pointed to the table as he spoke.
An official document published in the newspaper, like other local newspapers, is directly in the format and packaging of a military newspaper.
Sun Chu's expression changed: "Aren't they serving as county magistrates in Wudi? How come there is a Tang newspaper? Could it be that there is another rebellion in Wudi?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "The Wukang County they went to has several local tycoons. In addition to the Shen family, there is also the Yao family headed by the ancestor of the Yao family. Last time, the five tigers of the Shen family killed the enemy who killed their father and ancestors.
I punished everyone in the Shen family. Shen Yuanzi retired and returned home, staying in seclusion. Meanwhile, another powerful family, the Yao family, took the opportunity to recruit desperadoes and stragglers, under the pretext of protecting the country and the people, to bring disaster to one side.
Obey the imperial decree."
Yu Qiujin suddenly realized: "Could it be that you asked the Zhu brothers to go to Wukang as county magistrates just to deal with the Yao family?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Exactly, now we have just defeated Huan Xuan, and we are facing huge pressure from Nan Yan. Regular armies are stationed in various places and cannot be moved lightly. Therefore, the powerful people in these places feel that the imperial army has not arrived yet, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."
If they are willing to abide by the laws of the country, do not violate laws and disciplines, pay food and grass on time, and provide young men and women to join the army, I can naturally give them official positions and make them benefit the country. But those like Yao's ancestors
, but they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to dominate Wukang County, hide themselves in hiding, and even openly used the banner of Huan Chu to become enemies of the imperial court."
Xiang Jing suddenly stamped his foot: "His grandma, there really are such bastards who don't know how to appreciate others. Brother Jinu, give me a thousand men and horses. I, Tieniu, will go and kill his surnamed Yao right now!"
Kuai En on the side said thoughtfully: "Brother Tieniu, don't be impulsive. What Brother Jinu means is that there are such rich people everywhere in Wu, including Wukang, and I'm afraid there are many elsewhere, in dozens of counties.
Hey, if there are one or two local tycoons like this coming from every place, how many soldiers and horses do we have to use to suppress them?"
Tan Daoji also nodded and said: "Yes, and during the Tianshi Dao Rebellion a few years ago, the commander-in-chief at that time sent troops to plunder the land of Wu. Now that he had just defeated Huan Xuan, he sent troops there again. This may arouse public sentiment.
If there is a backlash, even those powerful people who were originally interested in the imperial court may no longer be inclined towards us. Therefore, it is the best policy to eliminate a few openly rebellious people, appease those who are willing to pay taxes, and try not to send out large armies."
Liu Yu smiled and nodded: "Daoji is right. I arranged for the Zhu brothers to go to Wukang to serve as county magistrates. It was for this reason that they only brought dozens of guards with them, but secretly they
Let more than 300 old troops from Jingkou secretly sneak into Wukang, and the Yao clan ancestors recruited stragglers from all over the place. Naturally, they would not refuse these veterans who had military experience and were from the Chu region."
Sun Chu laughed: "Send slaves, this is a really good move. In fact, it is equivalent to arranging an ambush on the Yao family, and you can also collect their crimes. Once you want to attack the Yao family, it will be foolproof."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said to the outside of the tent: "Yunzi, you can come in."
While talking, Shen Yunzi, dressed in smart clothes and wearing a black scarf, walked in. His body was covered with dust and even had some blood stains. It was obvious at a glance that he had gone through battles and long journeys to get here.
Xiang Jing said in surprise: "Brother Yunzi, didn't you go back to your hometown to visit your relatives? How could you..."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I asked the Shen family to return home. Outsiders only thought that I expelled them because they killed their enemies and violated my laws. But in fact, I wanted them to obey the orders of the Zhu family brothers.
We came to help at the critical moment and eradicated the Yao family in one fell swoop. Yunzi, please tell us the specific story."
Shen Yunzi smiled slightly: "After I returned to my hometown, I asked most of the tribe to go back to the hometown to work on the farm. The brothers stayed behind closed doors. Seeing this, the ancestors of the Yao family became even more arrogant. They actually raised the banner of Huan Chu and said that they were still loyal to Huan.
Xuan, and welcomed the soldiers of the Chu army to join him. Within a month, thousands of stragglers joined him, of course, including more than 300 veterans of the Zhu brothers."
"Then the Zhu brothers came to office and deliberately showed weakness. They also invited Yao Xizu and several other wealthy families to come to the Yamen for a banquet. The Zhu brothers sent people to tell Yao Xizu that they were also from the Chu army and had no choice but to pretend to surrender as slaves.
Brother, as long as you don't openly raise the banner of Huan Chu, you can protect them from growing stronger. Once the time is right, you can unite with Huan Xuan and counterattack Jiankang."
