Chapter 712 The largest bandit group

Li Feng smiled and said: "So, General Liang agrees?"

"How can I disagree with such a good thing, but one thing is, I don't know how much I need to invest?" Liang Luoren asked.

Li Feng said: "I will make arrangements for Shuofang's affairs, and leave Xiazhou's affairs to General Liang.

As for how much to invest? It depends on how many heinous people there are in Xiazhou. I heard that there are many bandits in Shuofang and Xiazhou.

We just need to capture them all and let them build bridges and pave roads, then we don't need to invest too much labor, and they can help us work faster and more efficiently."

Liang Luoren's mind turned, and he immediately thought of something, and said quickly: "I understand, I understand, I understand, I will order people to capture all the bandits in Xiazhou now."

"I will also go back to Shuofang and kill all the bandits in Shuofang." Li Feng stood up, "The cooperation has been agreed with General Liang, and it's time for me to leave."

Liang Luoren immediately said: "Wait a minute."

Li Feng looked at Liang Luoren and asked, "General Liang, is there anything else?"

Liang Luoren sighed and said: "Lantian Hou, since we both want to cooperate, I have something to say, and I still want to say it, so as not to be delayed by a group of villains."

"Who is the villain General Liang is referring to?"

"The five major aristocratic families in Shuofang." Liang Luoren replied, "I have been operating in Shuofang for many years, but I am still helpless against the five major aristocratic families."

"Why is this?" Li Feng asked again, "I think back then, Master Liang established the Liang Kingdom."

"His Majesty is still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is still helpless against the Guanzhong aristocratic family. After all, it is the aristocratic families who control a large amount of human resources.

Their tribesmen occupy many official positions in the court. If they all resign, the court will be paralyzed and the country will be in chaos."

"This seems to be the reason why both His Majesty and you hate the aristocratic families very much." Li Feng said.

"Yes, it's very annoying, extremely annoying." Liang Luoren said with a look of disgust, "However, Shuofang's family is even more hateful. Their people not only occupy the vast majority of Shuofang's land.

It also controls the jobs of countless people. Any businessman who wants to do business in Shuofang must greet them and pay a hefty protection fee.

However, most of the income will still be occupied by the five major families. Anyway, the people of Shuofang are living in misery, but I have no way.

I once punished Liu Tian, ​​the eldest son of the Liu family, for a common man and tried to kill him, but failed. He escaped that day and led a group of bandits to attack Shuofang the next day.

At that time, I wanted to lead my troops to destroy them, but my brother stopped me. He even recruited Liu Tian and other bandits. From then on, the Liu family became the number one family in Shuofang.

The Liu family has also become arrogant. In Shuofang, even I have to give them face. Ever since I took over Shuofang, I have wanted to deal with the Liu family.

Liu Tian didn't know where the news was coming from, so he ran away. In this way, when I wanted to deal with the Liu family, the other four families also came out. The five of them were in the same boat, making it impossible for me to attack.

I know that once I take action, there will be a lot of official vacancies in Shuofang. I don't have the manpower to fill these holes immediately, so I can only let them continue to prey on the people.

However, Marquis Lantian must have a way to deal with these five aristocratic families, right?"

Li Feng shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, but I will try my best to deal with them. However, you said Liu Tian has become a bandit now? I wonder how many people he has?"

"Three thousand. He has three thousand troops. My cousin gave it to him. I once asked him if he wanted the troops back, but he refused. The three thousand troops were also unwilling to come back.

I guess they often rob passing business travelers and then sell the robbed goods to the five major families. They make a lot of money, so they refuse to come back." Liang Luoren said.

Li Feng nodded and continued to ask: "Are there many robbers outside Shuofang?"

"Indeed, there are quite a few. There are eight bandit groups in total. The largest one is Liu Tian's 3,000 men. The rest are only about a hundred people, composed of people from all over the world.

They may have been merchants before, or they may have been the escorts of the caravan. There are many people, and they can be eliminated as long as they are sent.

Even if you recruit them, they will be willing to take refuge in you. What you are really worried about is Liu Tian's bandit group."

Li Feng nodded and thought to himself: "No wonder Wang Bing was able to destroy 80% of Shuofang's bandit group.

However, this Liu Tian bandit group is really awesome and can firmly control three thousand bandits in their hands.

I'm afraid there are more than 5,000 people now. We really cannot underestimate this group of bandits. In terms of numbers, they pose some threat to Shuofang."

When Liang Luoren saw that Li Feng was silent, he thought he was scared, so he said: "Lantian Marquis, don't worry, I can help you. Shall I send three thousand cavalry back with you?"

How about helping you kill them by the way?"

"Thank you, General Liang. Do you know where Liu Tian's bandit group is?"

"I know, it's not within the territory of Datang."

Li Feng was stunned for a moment and said: "They are not in the Tang Dynasty? Then where are they?"

"Turk."

"Hmph, the Turks are now the Tang Dynasty. General Liang, I don't need your three thousand cavalry. Give me someone who is familiar with Liu Tian's gang and follow Shuo Fang.

As for the five aristocratic families, I will make them pass away. If there are heinous people, I will let them build wooden rails. For those who have not done bad things, I will also give them a way out." Li Feng said.

"As expected, Marquis Lantian is a hero. Liang Yong, you will follow Marquis Lantian to Shuofang. I will give you a hundred people to form a transport team with Marquis Lantian." Liang Luoren said.

A burly man stood up and said, "Yes, General."

Li Feng said: "Thank you, General Liang. Without further delay, I want to go back to Shuofang with Liang Yong now."

"Okay, I'll send Marquis Lantian to you."

"Thank you."

Immediately, Li Feng, Liang Yong and a hundred Liang family guards left Xiazhou and headed for Shuofang.

It took three days to finally return to Shuofang.

At this time, Shuofang had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Among the five great families, the three heads of the Dong family, Wang family and Jia family were dissatisfied with Huangshan's punishment of letting them sweep the streets.

So the clan members of the three families united and asked Li Feng to resign. However, they now announced that they were sick and no one could see them.

Li Er wanted to take care of it, but he wanted to see what Li Feng did, so he didn't intervene.

Since no one paid attention to them, everyone began to stop working, and threatened to work until Huangshan apologized.

As for the three masters, they did not go to sweep the streets.
