After several months of preparation, long hours of thinking, and several attempts to check and fill in the gaps, Li Shan was extremely surprised when he gave the order. Tuesday Lang had only shouted twice in Yunnei County, but this time he arrived with the caravan.
The people of Yanmen... can't even see their heads at a glance!
Old and young, men and women, mixed with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, the procession was very long. Li Gaoqian on the city wall patted the wall bricks and said with a smile: "Huairen's move has laid the foundation for Huaiyuan Junzhang's vitality."
Liu Shirang was also watching this scene from a distance, his eyes flickering, and his eyes fell on the young man in blue shirt outside the pass. He had to admit that the fact that the other person could become famous in two years should not be underestimated.
Li Shan was overjoyed by the crowds of people, but it also made Li Shanpo find it difficult... There were so many people in one group, and he didn't know if Ma Zhou would scold his mother after him.
Long before Li Shan could take advantage of Liu Shirang, he sent Ma Zhou back... There were too many things to do later, and Li Shan had no time to spare, and he himself was not at Yanmen Pass. Xue Zhong and Li Gaoqian might not be able to do it.
Live in Liu Shirang.
This is just the people who came with the caravan. In the next few days, people from Yunzhou and Shuozhou came to vote... Basically, there were three to four hundred people every day.
Li Shan had to have people transport food from Dai County... The Yanmen Pass defenders were running out of food, and every citizen who came to vote seemed as if they hadn't eaten in a month.
In a few days, people from Mayi came to vote... and they also brought Yuan Xiaozheng's handwritten letter.
"If it hadn't been for Erlangjun's order, I would not have escaped death this time." A pale-faced young man smiled helplessly, "On the day when the city was destroyed, Daxingtai's subordinates would have been fine..."
The stout young man on the side is Yuan Xiaozheng's bodyguard, a local from Mayi, who has settled in Dai County last time. This time he is delivering a letter in the name of Li Shan. He points to the young man before and says sadly: "Turks entered the city and burned it.
Killing and looting, he only slightly interfered, and then an arrow pierced the body."
Li Shan sighed, "The Turks live by water and grass, and the Han people live by vegetation. They are not my race, so their minds must be different."
After a pause, Li Shan asked in a low voice: "Gao Manzheng?"
"Except for the eldest son and the second son who are not in Mayi, the whole family was destroyed." The guard coughed twice, "But other than that, Yuan Gongqiu did not commit any crime."
Li Shan also knew that this matter was just nonsense. Not to mention anything else, it was just Turks burning, killing and looting... Shouldn't this debt be placed on Yuan Junzhang's head?
Li Shan was too lazy to take care of these nonsense. He took out a letter from his sleeve and just ordered: "You make another trip... They have settled in Dai County, so Xiaozheng doesn't need to worry."
The three guards knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
"You are all from Daizhou. If you want to go back to your place of origin, I won't be able to stop you." Li Shan turned around and said sincerely: "If you come to deal with it, grant land and buy a house, it may not be your place of origin."
The first batch of more than 60 people sent by Yuan Xiaozheng were all from Daizhou, and more than 40 of them were from Dai County. After all, Yuan Junzhang's father was the governor of Dai, and the Yuan family had been in Daizhou for a long time.
State residence.
The leader knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, "Let Li Langjun do whatever he wants."
Li Shan nodded and asked Wang Junhao to lead the people down. He thought that Yuan Xiaozheng was well worth accepting as his apprentice...but he also needed to be careful not to capsize in the gutter.
It had only been ten days since the city of Mayi was defeated, and the situation in Shuozhou and Yunzhou took a turn for the worse... This situation could not be contained by Yuan Junzhang relying on the Turks and having a heavy army.
It was already late November, and the weather was cold. Yuan Junzhang had coerced Qingzhuang in Yunzhou and went south to attack Mayi. He suffered heavy casualties and Mayi was looted by the Turks... To put it mildly, if he were not afraid of the Turks' censure,
Also afraid that the loss of Mayi would lead to a sudden drop in his weight in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Junzhang deliberately abandoned Mayi and returned to Yunzhou.
Well, in fact, Yunzhou is not much better. While Yuan Junzhang took a large number of young people, he also forcibly requisitioned food and looted all the people's food reserves... There was no way. Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers came to help, too.
Those who want food and wages.
The reason why Zhou Erlang brought so many people back to the customs in the first batch was that he promised to settle in Dai County and not starve to death. On the other hand, the caravan actually brought grain and rice out of the customs... He had to give up some bait.
.
After all, Yuan Junzhang spent more than a month in October attacking Mayi and attracted tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, causing the people of Shuozhou and Yunzhou to endure an unbearable disaster... They could endure it silently before, but now
Under Li Shan's temptation, they gathered towards Yanmen Pass like moths to a flame.
Li Shan is beating the drum in his heart now... Is the commotion too big? Can one county withstand such a huge pressure?
Not to mention food consumption and field division, just so many people can put a lot of pressure on Dai County... For this reason, Li Shan asked Xue Zhong to go to Cinao County, and Li Daoxuan sent three thousand troops to Dai County.
Press your feet.
Standing on the city wall again, a strong wind roared in, blowing Liu Shirang's hair bun slightly. The silver hair was flying helplessly in the wind. The old man's eyes fell on the outside of the pass. There was another group of nearly a hundred refugees.
Enter customs.
From the moment he was ignored by Li Shan, Liu Shirang knew that he had underestimated this young man. Even before that, he regretted not saving any face for Li Shan in Mayi... As a result, he has no face at all now.
But it was only then that Liu Shirang was convinced.
"Place a wise and brave general in Guocheng, store up a lot of gold and silk, and give generous rewards to those who come to surrender..."
Aware of the surprised gazes of his bodyguards, Liu Shirang shut his mouth and muttered in his heart: "Send surprise troops to attack his city, destroy his crops and destroy his livelihood. He will have no food for more than a year, and his horse will be ruined."
It’s not enough for a picture.”
This was the strategy for managing Mayi that Liu Shi asked himself to present in front of the sage Li Yuan a few months ago, but he failed to achieve it... Before the plan started, Gao Manzheng proposed Shuozhou to vote.
Since then, Liu Shirang gave up his plan.
But now, Liu Shirang suddenly realized that all of this was not in vain, but had become a reality... just not in his hands.
He did better than me. I only saw how he used gold and silver to lure generals to surrender, but he used caravans as a medium to attract people, weaken his opponents, and strengthen himself... He was more than several times better?
People who were originally like-minded are now hostile to each other...why?
Glancing at Li Gaoqian who was laughing and chatting from a distance, Liu Shirang recognized the tall and thin Cao Chuantuo next to him. He was first his subordinate, and later served under Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng. This time he escaped from Mayi.
Liu Shirang strode away with a face on his face. Of course he knew what the other party wanted to do... There was no doubt that he would take the blame for Ma Yi's loss.
But Liu Shirang's temperament... got stronger with age. He would not give up even when he reached the Yellow River, and he would not give up even when he was about to die.
He was certain that if there was still a chance for a comeback... it would definitely be with Li Shan.
Would you like to find a chance to meet Li Shan... Liu Shirang hesitated and asked his bodyguard to inquire. The news was that Li Shan had left Yanmen Pass for the first time in nearly two months.
I knew something was going to happen!
Li Shan, who was galloping on horseback, endured the unbearable hardship and secretly cursed in his heart. He should have been more cautious if he had known better. He would not have become fat after one bite!
