The hall of the Prefect's Mansion was full of people. Gao Fei was sitting at the top of the hall. He glanced at the eighteen subordinates lined up on the left and right, and said loudly: "Bian Xi has taken people to various counties to find out the news. The fastest is
It will take ten days to come back. The Tian family's power in Liaodong can no longer be described as a local snake. The entire Liaodong County has almost become the territory of the Tian family. I have called you here today to tell you that in these ten days,
, we must take strict precautions, I rescued a person from the Tian family today, I guess Tian Shao will not let it go."
In the hall, nine people, Jia Xu, Zhang He, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, and Xia Houlan, stood in the left column, and Xun You, Zhao Yun, Lu Heng, Hu Yu, and Chu Yan stood in the right column.
Eighteen people, including Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Yu Du, and Gongsun Kang, all showed a hint of displeasure on their faces after listening to Gao Fei's words.
"Lord, although we have 20,000 troops now, except for Yu Linlang who was brought from Gyeonggi Province, none of them have received formal training. Tian Shao has both troops and private soldiers. If there is a fight, I'm afraid
We will suffer a lot. My subordinates believe that the most urgent task is to use the existing time to train the army and strive to train it into a well-disciplined army in a short time. As long as the discipline is strict, if a war really breaks out, there will be no
I'll be panicking." Jia Xu took a step forward and said first.
"Well, Mr. Jia thinks the same as me. However, in my opinion, Tian Shao doesn't dare to openly fight with me. He is a sensible person. If he does fight with us, it will be very detrimental to him." Gao Fei
road.
Xun You stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that instead of waiting for Tian Shao to find trouble, it is better to take the initiative to find trouble with Tian Shao. Chu Yan, Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Yu Du, they all used to be Xiaojushanlin.
The characters are naturally the best at robbing homes and houses, and their men are much better than other people who have just joined the army. My lord, why not strengthen the training of more than 10,000 new troops and let Chu Yan and others take people to commit crimes in various counties in Liaodong, as long as
It’s all the property of the Tian family, and they have been looted one by one. In this way, Tian Shao will be busy dealing with Chu Yan and others, so naturally he will not have time to cause trouble to the lord, and we can also concentrate on training the new army."
After Gao Fei heard this, he laughed and said: "Mr.
?"
Yu Du was tall and thick. Although he was not very tall, he looked very powerful. He stood up without hesitation and shouted carelessly: "My lord, ever since I took refuge with my lord, my hands have been itching."
Well, since the lord asked me to go back to my old profession, of course I will not refuse, and I will do a better job this time, so that the lord can see if we, a bunch of bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, can make it to the hall of elegance.
"
Chu Yan's tiger body shook, then he strode out and shouted loudly: "My lord, please give me the order. We will never let down your lord's high expectations."
Gao Fei slapped his thigh and immediately shouted: "Very good, you just need to make this matter as big as possible, but you have to remember that going to rob homes this time is slightly different from your previous ones. You must only target the Tian family."
In our industry, even if we want to launch a killing ban, we can only kill people from the Tian family, and we must not attack ordinary people. Those people are bullied and scared by the Tian family, and they are all poor people, do you understand?"
Chu Yan, Yu Du, Sun Qing, and Wang Dang all nodded and said in unison: "My lord, don't worry, we will do our best to complete what your lord has asked us to do."
"Well, then you will set off this afternoon. One person will lead a group of people to several nearby counties. When Tian Shao leads his troops to attack you, do not fight and hide in the nearby mountains and forests. Wait for Tian Shao to leave.
If you come out to attack again, the people of the Tian family will be exhausted these days. If you meet Bian Xi and others along the way, tell them to come back to Xiangping and there is no need to pry anymore." Gao Fei explained.
Chu Yan, Yu Du, Sun Qing, and Wang Dang said "Promise" and turned around to leave the hall.
Gao Fei immediately said: "Mr. Xun, you are taking Gongsun Kang, Pei Yuanshao, and Xia Houlan to appease the people in the city. There are also many deserted farmlands outside the city. You are responsible for measuring them and dividing the fields evenly among the people in the city. There are also many fields in the east of the city.
There is little wasteland and a large amount can be reclaimed.”
Xun You said "promise" and left with Gongsun Kang, Pei Yuanshao and Xia Houlan.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Fei said to Zhang He: "Jun Yi, you are now the chief historian of the county. I will hand this army horse into your hands. Within half a month, this army must be trained into a well-disciplined army."
The Iron Army. Hua Xiong, Lu Heng, and Pang De are the captains, and Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, and Hu Yu are the commanders of the army. You must obey Zhang He's orders. Anyone who disobeys the orders will be punished by the army."
Zhang He had a look of joy on his face, feeling that Gao Fei had indeed not lied to him. He had just followed Gao Fei and assumed the position of Sheriff Shi, and placed him above his old subordinates. He was also very grateful in his heart, and immediately handed over his hand and said: "My lord.
Don’t worry, Junyi will definitely train an iron army for your lord."
Hua Xiong, Lu Heng, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Hu Yu and others did not have any complaints, because they knew in their hearts that no matter what position they held, they were all important in Gao Fei's heart.
Everyone cupped their hands and replied loudly: "No!"
Gao Fei said: "In half a month, I don't ask those new troops to be good at fighting. I only want them to be able to obey any orders. No matter what they are asked to do, they must move forward bravely. If necessary, they can kill one or two people to establish their authority."
!”
After Zhang He received Gao Fei's specific instructions, he and Hua Xiong and others said "Promise" again and walked out of the hall.
In an instant, only Jia Xu and Zhao Yun were left in the hall. Gao Fei looked at the two of them and immediately said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, go and mobilize fifty elite Feiyu soldiers to patrol back and forth in the west of the city every day.
Pay attention to the Tian family’s movements.”
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "No!"
Jia Xu looked at Zhao Yun's leaving figure, immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Xun Gongda's move is really wonderful, and my subordinates have to admire him."
Gao Fei smiled sinisterly and said, "The reason why you didn't give me any advice, sir, is because you were testing Xun You, right?"
Jia Xu smiled and replied: "Xun Gong is a famous person in the country, but he is willing to give up his official position and follow his lord to this remote Liaodong. For the sake of his lord's future great cause, his subordinates naturally have to be careful. Now Xun You is alone in Liaodong. Looking at the other people
They all bring their families with them, which naturally makes their subordinates more cautious. Judging from the strategy presented by Xun You today, it is indeed for the sake of the lord. Not only did he use Chu Yan and others to cause Tian Shao's uneasiness, but the meaning behind it was also
Borrowing Tian Shao's power to suppress Chu Yan and others is killing two birds with one stone, and it also makes his subordinates less wary of him."
Gao Fei listened to Jia Xu reveal the deep meaning behind Xun You's plan, so he nodded and said slowly: "Since conquering Chu Yan and other bandits, he has been quite law-abiding along the way. But the nature of a country is easy to change, and Chu Yan is hard to change.
They are all habitual thieves who never blink an eye. At that time, they only took refuge in me to have food to eat. Chu Yan may have sincerely surrendered, but the gang of thieves under him are not so easy to trust. I heard that today
When the grain was being distributed, Chu Yan and Yu Du's men secretly withheld several bags of grain and stole money from a household. If Xun You hadn't discovered it in time, it would have caused resentment in the minds of the people. Now we have just arrived.
Liaodong has an unstable foothold and must not let this kind of thing happen again. Xun You had good intentions and wanted Chu Yan and the gang of thieves to confront Tian Shao. When both sides suffer, we can reap the benefits of the fishermen. It is indeed a win-win situation.
Good strategy."
Jia Xu smiled and said softly: "My lord, Xun You is very resourceful. Although he has no second thoughts about my lord now, his family are all in the Central Plains, and Xun You is a filial son. If anything happens to his family in the future, Xun You will definitely
It is hard to say whether he will leave his lord and return to the Central Plains, or whether he can come back. His subordinates thought that while Xun You was still in Liaodong, they should secretly send someone to Yingchuan to bring Xun You's family to Liaodong in Xun You's name. Ying You
Sichuan is a place where nobles gather, and the lord can also take advantage of Xun You's reputation to recruit more celebrities for his own use. When the lord has a lot of talents under his command, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future struggle for the world."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Gao Fei felt that Jia Xu was indeed a "poisonous man" and his thoughts were much more profound than his. However, fortunately, Jia Xu was his adviser. If he took advantage of others, it would be a big disservice to him.
Disadvantage. He has never underestimated the ancients. Some of the ancients were many times smarter than modern people. Although the ancients did not know high-tech things, in terms of strategy and wisdom, the outstanding people were definitely one step ahead of modern people.
He nodded and said to Jia Xu: "Since we are going to Yingchuan to pick up the scholar-officials to come to Liaodong, we must have a reliable person. I wonder if Mr. Jia has any candidates?"
Jia Xu said: "My lord is now in charge of Liaodong, and Xun You is loyal to my lord, and his strategy can definitely help my lord gain a foothold in Liaodong, not to mention getting rid of bullies like Tian Shao. For the long-term sake of my lord,
For the sake of my own interests, I am willing to go to Yingchuan in person to recruit wise and resourceful people for my lord."
"Sir, you want to go in person?" Gao Fei was surprised, thinking that Jia Xu had followed him all the way from Liangzhou to Liaodong, brought the entire clan with him, and even sent him three gifts in a row when he needed it most.
This gift made him achieve his current fame. For him, Jia Xu is like an elder, and at Jia Xu's age, he can definitely be his elder. It is natural that such a person suddenly leaves him for a while.
A bit reluctant.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, with Xun You's talent, he can definitely serve as a mastermind beside my lord. With him here, my subordinates can leave with peace of mind. What's more, for the long-term plan, my subordinates must go to Yingchuan."
, as soon as half a year, as slowly as one year, the subordinates will definitely bring back several talents from Yingchuan to assist the lord. Now the lord has Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Hua Xiong, Pang De and others in his army, but he only lacks a think tank.
A group of people, to achieve great things, must be assisted by a group of think tanks.”
Gao Fei saw that Jia Xu had made up his mind, and this matter was of great benefit to him. There were Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others in Yingchuan. Now that the world was not really in chaos, if he could succeed in Duan
It would definitely be of great benefit to him to have recruited these wise and resourceful people within a short period of time. He thought about it carefully and said to Jia Xu: "Since you have decided to leave, I will not stop you, but I am going to Yingzhou now."
The road to Sichuan is long, and there will be unexplainable difficulties on the way. There must be a person with strong military strength to protect the husband. Well... Zilong is superb in martial arts, and he is also very alert in dealing with people. Why not let Zilong
How about going with sir?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "My Lord, it is time to employ people now, and we cannot lack such a general to deal with Tian Shao. I think that Lu Heng can go with me. Lu Heng is my Lord's confidant, and he is alert."
The level is no less than that of Zilong. Although his martial arts skills are slightly inferior, his marksmanship was taught by the lord himself, and it is enough to deal with ordinary thieves. With Lu Heng following his subordinates, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Well, well, since Mr. Lu is so fond of Lu Heng, then let Lu Heng follow Mr. to Yingchuan for a trip."
Gao Fei immediately summoned Lu Heng, told Lu Heng the matter, and inquired about it. After Lu Heng agreed, he asked Lu Heng and Jia Xu to go to Yingchuan together, and also sent ten people
They shipped some money and grain, and asked Hu Yu, who was familiar with the geography of this area and had some friendship with the Wuhuan people, to escort Jia Xu and Lu Heng out of Liaodong.
After finishing all these things, Gao Fei sat alone in the prefect's mansion. He was not very comfortable without Jia Xu, an important counselor who only focused on himself. In addition, Lu Heng, a considerate and good confidant, was also missing.
Unhappy. However, when he thought that these two people might bring back a group of counselors in the future, the discomfort in his heart immediately disappeared.
In the next few days, Zhang He led his soldiers to train on the hillsides and woods outside the city. The training was very convenient for Zhang He. Instead of killing people to establish his authority, he became one with the soldiers. In just two days, he became one with the soldiers.
Within days, all the soldiers obeyed his instructions. Gao Fei went to observe Zhang He's military training from time to time. Although the training methods were all ancient methods, they cultivated the morale and discipline of the entire army.
"Zhang He, one of the five good generals, is indeed well-deserved. Now I finally have a general under my command who can lead an army on his own." Gao Fei praised Zhang He after watching Zhang He's military training.
Another day later, Bian Xi returned to Xiangping with 20 scouts, and brought good news. Chu Yan, Yu Du, Sun Qing, and Wang Dang took 5,000 thieves to fight in various counties in Liaodong.
With their talent as thieves, they attacked the four counties where the Tian family was located, and killed the Tian family who was the county magistrate. They looted a lot of money and food from the county. Because they could not transport the money and food, they were all taken away by Chu Yan.
They hid in secret.
Liaodong County, which had always been occupied by the Tian family, suddenly broke out with fierce bandits. This made Tian Shao very angry. He was originally planning to use underhanded tactics to deal with Gao Fei, but he had no choice but to put things aside for the time being and lead his men.
Ten thousand soldiers and five thousand private soldiers began to rush to the place where Chu Yan and others were haunted.
Gao Fei continued to let Bian Xi and the scouts be responsible for inquiring about the news, and paid close attention to the contest between Chu Yan and other bandits and Tian Shao. On the one hand, he led the people to reclaim wasteland, and on the other hand, he asked Zhang He to strengthen training.
A few days later, under the close attention of Bian Xi and others, Gao Fei learned about Chu Yan, and several small-scale battles took place between Yu Du and Tian Shao. Chu Yan and others used the guerrilla tactics taught by Gao Fei to
Tian Shao's army was dragged into the deep mountains and old forests. The enemy's advance and our retreat, the enemy's retreat and our attack's combat method were used very well in Chu Yan's hands, which also made Gao Fei look at Chu Yan in a new light.
On this day, Gao Fei had just returned from inspecting Zhang He's military training outside the city. He gave a very good evaluation of the training results of these ten days. Under Zhang He's training, 15,000 people were very disciplined. During the break, Zhang He and
The soldiers talked about the mountains together. When it comes to training, soldiers are soldiers, generals are generals, and discipline is discipline. It has reached the point where they can hit wherever they are told.
Therefore, Gao Fei gave new instructions based on the results of Zhang He's military training, asking Zhang He to take these people and teach them combat skills and the use of various weapons based on the original Habayashi Lang. As for riding skills,
, that cannot be learned in a day or two, so I can only put it aside for the time being.
When they returned to the prefect's mansion, Diao Chan and Ouyang Yin Ying chatted happily. These days, the two of them got along well. Because they were similar in age and both were helpless, they became good friends and treated each other as sisters.
proportionate.
Seeing Diao Chan and Ouyang Yinying talking and laughing, Gao Fei was quite pleased. He immediately walked over and asked loudly: "Diao Chan, what are you and Xiaoying talking about? You are chatting so happily?"
Seeing Gao Fei coming over, Ouyang Yinying hurriedly stood up, leaned forward and said, "My little lady, please see me!"
Diao Chan walked directly to Gao Fei, took Gao Fei's arm, and said with a smile: "We're not talking about you yet. Sister Xiaoying was talking about the time you saved him. You had a face full of dirt at that time.
