This is how the world is, if they disagree, they will draw their swords against each other.
Cao Su led an army through the city, pushing the originally lonely Youzhou Mansion to a new stage.
After the excitement, people couldn't help but start to worry.
General Pingbei returned victorious, but before he could reach the city lord's palace, the newly recruited general was assassinated.
Isn't this a provocation and contempt for General Pingbei?
In the city, youzhou city lord's palace.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Cao Jun inspected both the inside and outside of the City Lord's Mansion.
These days in Youzhou, what Cao Su encountered the most was various assassinations, and he felt a little more vigilant in his heart.
"These charlatans, if they don't do anything serious, they only know how to fight and kill."
Cao Su walked into the city lord's mansion.
The people below cleaned the city lord's mansion to welcome his arrival.
Xia used force to break the ban, Cao Su stood on the court's side, and formed a clear opposing direction in the thoughts he instilled into his subordinates on a daily basis.
"The deceased's name has been found."
Not long after entering the city lord's mansion, Zhongjin hurried over.
The fourth-level warrior who was killed by Cao Su with one punch was not an unknown person in the world of Youzhou.
"He is the outer sect disciple of the 'Qing Yang Sect', named 'Yuan Tian'. A few years ago, Yuan Tian was still an unlearned and unskilled scoundrel in Youzhou City. A few years later,
He has actually practiced top-notch martial arts and is extremely talented."
Cao Su looked slightly sideways: "How long has Yuantian been practicing?"
"It is said that the martial arts training may have only lasted six or seven years."
"It took six or seven years to train from an ordinary warrior to the fourth level of strength realm. It is indeed an extraordinary talent."
Along the way, Cao Su also knew how sad and difficult it was to practice martial arts.
Even though many people are diligent, due to their talents, opportunities, resources, environment and many other problems, they are unable to go further and stop as Qi and blood warriors, or stop at the realm of strength.
Cao Su asked in a deep voice: "Where is Qingyang Gate?"
"Qingyang Sect is one of the major sects in Youzhou, and it is also in the central and northern part of Youzhou. It just joined the Youbei League a few days ago."
Like Cao Su, Zhongjin always focused on the powerful "Youbei League" in the Youzhou martial arts world.
If Cao Su hadn't been short of food, he would have led his troops to attack the Youbei League at this moment.
Now we are deeply wary of this seemingly private Jianghu organization, but in fact it has formed an integrated alliance that sticks to each other.
"It's Youbei League again."
Cao Su gradually felt that the Youbei League was speeding up their actions.
"Yes, sir, please don't be careless towards the Youbei League."
At present, Cao Su is in the stage of recuperation. According to the arrangements of the court, his first task is to suppress the bandits.
The person who suppressed the bandits was Li Xingxi, who traveled across the two states, but Li Xingxi was too far away from him and had been active in Liaozhou during this period.
If Cao Su lets go of Youzhou Prefecture and goes to fight in Liaozhou, once the Youbei Alliance goes south, Cao Su's entire retreat will be blocked, and Cao Su will not be able to leave if he wants to.
To put it bluntly, Cao Su regarded the Youbei League as his enemy and did not trust them at all.
Of course he wouldn't trust him. The other party even sent people to assassinate him. It would be a good thing if he didn't kill them.
As for whether the Youbei League will really ignore the imperial court and rise up, it is now possible.
"Pay close attention to the developments of the Youbei League. If you have any news, report it to me immediately."
Cao Su arranged important matters to Zhongjin, and Zhongjin solemnly accepted the order.
After coming to Youzhou, all kinds of businesses are waiting to flourish.
Intelligence work also requires dedicated personnel to take care of it.
Cao Su suddenly felt that his manpower was not sufficient.
----------------------------------------
Cao Su pacified Tuxian Mountain.
Later, Wu Ming brought a brochure of Tuxian Village, including land area, population, etc.
This debt book of Tu Xianshan made Cao Su read it carefully from front to back.
Cao Su personally took charge of the government and arranged for the residents of Tuxian Village who were willing to leave the mountain to relocate and settle down.
"It is specially designated as an area to allow the residents of Tuxian Mountain to live in the city."
"If the residents in the village are unwilling to leave their homeland with the boss, they can also buy houses in this area. Our Youzhou City is empty. After moving into Youzhou City, they will become city dwellers from now on."
Cao Su started selling land and household registration. I don't know where he learned the method.
He personally demarcated the land and found areas in the city that least needed large-scale construction, demolition, and construction.
He personally found the people to do the work, led by several major families in the city, and Cao Su was responsible for sending people to supervise the work.
All the last residential land was sold, part of the money received was given to the major families as wages, and the rest was paid to the government before taxes to support Cao Su's army.
After arranging a place to stay, Cao Su met several village owners in the mountains.
There were differences among the village owners headed by Mr. Luo. Some people were willing to go down the mountain, while others thought the scenery on the mountain was very good.
"Since you are willing to defect to me, Cao Su, I will naturally give you the best arrangement."
Cao Su directly praised Haikou.
It made many village owners smile.
----------------------------------------
A few days later, the Tuxianshan roster was returned to Cao Su.
Cao Su summoned Wu Ming and Li Li to discuss matters.
"There are many fertile fields on Tuxian Mountain, which is the first-class granary of Youzhou Prefecture."
"It's the sowing season now. Our army is resting in the city. We don't need so many people to rest together."
Cao Su's army has been resting for more than a month.
Of the 50,000 imperial troops, 20,000 were his direct descendants from Pingzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou, and 30,000 were candidates for the imperial army in Yu Wenji's downsizing plan.
Thirty thousand men are elites, but they are not as resilient as Cao Su's men.
Cao Su was determined to train his troops again.
Wu Ming and Li Li had actually figured out some of Cao Su's ideas.
But the two of them still don't quite understand how to do it specifically.
"The key to hoarding troops is to find and keep fields."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Military land is hard to find, especially in the turbulent Qianyuan Dynasty, when the land annexation of aristocratic families is serious. If it were not for a group of strong men in Tuxian Mountain who took over the mountain and became the king, they would gain
There is a large amount of fertile farmland, and the land in this mountain will definitely be annexed by the high-ranking officials and nobles of Youzhou Prefecture.
But now, the fertile fields in the mountains gave Cao Su the opportunity to stock up on troops.
"I intend to send you two to Tuxian Mountain to implement the method of hoarding troops. When the autumn moon comes, you will harvest food and grass for our army."
He was actually said to be so high-ranking when he was sent out to farm. The two subordinates clasped their fists one after another.
"Tuxian Mountain is so high that you can overlook Youzhou Prefecture from a distance."
"The soldiers stationed at Tuxian Mountain outside Youzhou Prefecture can serve as the commanders of Youzhou Prefecture."
"In the past few months, you two have been working in the mountains with peace of mind."
"This is a top priority and nothing can go wrong."
Cao Su's expression was serious. Although he was farming, it was directly related to his subsequent military plan. Therefore, the issue of farming in Tuxian Mountain was Cao Su's top priority.
Wu Ming and Li Li, both civil and military, represented Cao Su's right-hand men.
After seeing this, he naturally did not dare to slack off any more and quickly responded again.
"In the past few months, I will come here at any time to investigate matters related to growing grain."
Cao Su gave some final instructions, and then discussed the specific sowing plan with Wu Ming and Li Li.
In the entire Tuxian Mountain, the Luo family and the Li family are now willing to contribute their excess fields. Cao Su has brought tens of thousands of people there, and they are all young and middle-aged laborers, so they are not afraid of having no land to farm.
Wu Ming suggested: "It would be best to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers for farming."
Cao Su nodded: "You are right. I will make a reward and punishment assessment plan for you in the next two days. It is mainly for the soldiers who farm a lot and are good at farming. I can give additional rewards, skills, and weapons.
Silver tael and promotion will all be involved."
As the new "Tuntian Colonel" Li Li said: "It is better to set an overall goal first, and when all the soldiers achieve it, everyone can get a reward."
Speaking of assessments, these old friends who have been with Cao Su for a long time have finally figured out how to correctly motivate their subordinates in a positive way.
After hearing this, Cao Su also agreed quite a bit.
"Sir, that's Tongfucheng..."
Tongfu City was one of the strategic goals that Cao Su had set long ago.
The geographical location of Tongfu City is very important. It is the bridgehead in front of the central mountain range. If Cao Su wants to completely stabilize his rear, he must capture this city.
Unfortunately, this city seems to be closer to Youbei League. Cao Su first came to Youzhou and was short of food and grass. The situation was not yet stable. Naturally, he was unwilling to start the war lightly, so he did not provoke this city.
They just sent some special personnel to Tongfu City to find out the news.
Now that Tuxian Mountain is in hand, the next focus of work should be outside of Youzhou Prefecture.
Cao Su understood what Li Li meant. This guy was still thinking about attacking Tongfu City.
I was afraid that I would not be able to obtain the military merit of attacking Tongfu City.
He laughed and scolded: "Farming your fields well is better than anything else. If you plant your fields well, you can be the vanguard when we attack Tongfu City in the future."
Li Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and his spirit was even more uplifted.
