Chapter 24 ding ji

When Tang Anqi posted that the defenders of Maxi City were about to withdraw 5,000 people, after the provocation of some thoughtful people, the people of Maxi City and the remaining 3,000 defenders were hostile to Xiao Yu, who was about to take over Maxi City.

After Xiao Yu stopped the armaments that Tang Anqi was going to take away, the 3,000 defenders left by Tang Anqi in Wuxi City basically recognized Xiao Yu.

Generals don't want to lead strong soldiers. Similarly, soldiers also want to follow brave generals.

No matter whether Xiao Yu will lead the army or not, in the eyes of the 3,000 defenders in Maxi City, Xiao Yu, who dares to stop Tang Anqi's 5,000 elites alone, is a brave general.

With the recognition of the 3,000 defenders of Maxi City, Xiao Yu quickly took control of Maxi City.

When Tang Anqi left Wuxi City, he took away all the capital and most of the capital. After Xiao Yu completely mastered the capital city, the first thing he did was to choose a new capital and capital.

Maxi City is a place where there has been a long war, and the garrisoned troops are all elite soldiers. Therefore, although Tang Anqi took away the most elite 5,000 people, Xiao Yu still found some people who can be competent for the position of Dutong and Dutou among the 3,000 defenders he left behind.

Xiao Yu's three people selected are still Zhang Ji, Wang Tie and Liu Qingshan, while the missing heads are held by some prestigious soldiers in the 3,000 defenders.

In today's world, in addition to some special cities, the city owners of most cities will serve as the city lords. After selecting Dutong and Dutou, Xiao Yu, as the owner of the new city of Maxi City, immediately issued a tax reduction order and recruitment order.

As Lin Beiwen said, after Xiao Yu issued a tax reduction decree, he really deserved the hearts of the people; however, only a few people responded to the other recruitment order he issued.

Although Xiao Yu is smart, he has no experience in managing a city. After the tax reduction decree and recruitment order were issued, he did not know what to do next.

In order to avoid making any wrong decision, in the three days before Lin Beiwen and others arrived in Wuxi City, Xiao Yu guided 3,000 soldiers under his command to practice in the barracks.

In the army, only those elites can practice the method of practicing qi, and ordinary soldiers only practice some simple foundation-building skills.

Speaking of the foundation-building skills, there are few more mysterious films in the world than Five Birds Opera.

Xiao Yu only passed on some of the simple actions in "Five Birds Opera" to those soldiers, and those soldiers obviously felt that their training effect was better.

In the army, the general Metropolitan guides his subordinates to practice, but few people personally guide ordinary soldiers to practice like Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't think it was a favor for him to teach those soldiers to practice, but after three days of getting along with each other, the soldiers had initial loyalty to him.

As soon as Lin Beiwen and Zhu Xin and five others arrived in Maxi City, they were pulled by Xiao Yu to the secret room of the general's mansion to discuss the future plan.

On the way from Mingdu to Chuanzhou City, Xiao Yu did not know how many troops he would take over, so he did not talk to Lin Beiwen about his future plans.

Now that Xiao Yu has taken over Maxi City, it is time to make some detailed plans.

Before discussing the future plan, Xiao Yu first told Lin Beiwen what he had done after he arrived in Maxi City.

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Lin Beiwen said in a low voice, "There are two kinds of conscription orders. The kind of conscription order issued by the Lord is to surrender to the army, which is to let the people take the initiative to surrender to the army. Naturally, there are not many people who respond. If there is a military service order, a lot of soldiers should be recruited. However, with this military service order, the hearts of the people won by the Lord's tax reduction orders will not only be lost, but also difficult to win the hearts of the people in the future.

There is a selfish side in human nature. Even when it is really necessary to issue a military service order to conscript and guard the family, the vast majority of the people are still full of hostility to the military service order. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, few people have practiced the holy path to the realm of eternal life for generals, and only Chiyou has practiced the holy way to the realm of heaven and man.

When the hometown needs to be guarded, the people will be hostile to the general who issued the military service order, not to mention the current situation in Maxi City.

"No matter whether Tang Anqi did not win the hearts of the people when he was in Maxi City, if the Lord issued a military service order, the people of Maxi City must miss Tang Anqi's rule very much, which is not a good thing for the Lord to stay in Maxi City."

Xiao Yu nodded and said in a low voice, "Although I don't reject the military service order, it's better not to issue this military service order unless I have to."

"If you don't issue a military service order, you can only recruit soldiers if you win one or two battles."

"There are fewer people who are willing to serve in the military service for their families, and there are more people who are willing to join the army to make contributions. Winning one or two battles will indeed attract some people who want to make achievements to join the army.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, took a long sigh, and then said, "However, 3,000 soldiers are a little nervous about guarding the city. How can they go out to fight?"

In the cultivation world, there will always be a few practitioners who are as addicted to killing as the corpse driver Guan Zhengshan. However, even if it is Guan Zhengshan, he does not dare to kill casually.

After a practitioners start to kill, even if they do not attract divine punishment or those moral practitioners, he may become a madman who only knows how to kill because of the resentment in his body.

Therefore, the battles on the battlefield are generally between generals and soldiers.

However, because the leader has an irreplaceable role on the battlefield, the number of most generals has a lot to do with his cultivation.

Whether it is the King of Ming, the King of Li or the King of Shang, all the masters of Changshengjing are in the position of general.

Although Xiao Yu and Lin Beiwen have the cultivation of long life, they have too few soldiers in his hands to take the initiative to attack cities close to Maxi City.

Lin Beiwen pondered for a while and said to Xiao Yu, "The two counties closest to Wuxi City in Yunshan County are Yao City in the northwest and Yangshan City in the west. It takes at least 6,000 people to win Yao City and Yangshan City. However, if you go to Yangshan to eliminate the mountain thieves, hundreds of elite soldiers may be enough.

"Exterminate the mountain thieves?"

Lin Beiwen nodded and said in a low voice, "There are many mountains, water and mountain thieves in the southwest. Now the world is undecided. Whether it is a general under your majesty or a general under the command of Shang Wang, they usually do not touch those mountain thieves. Those generals will not touch the mountain thieves, and the mountain thieves will naturally not take the initiative to provoke those generals, which forms a strange situation where the army in the southwest coexists with the mountain thieves.

After listening to Lin Beiwen's words, Xiao Yu frowned and meditated.

Although Xiao Yu had not discussed with Lin Beiwen on the road, he thought a lot and secretly analyzed the situation in the southwest.

With Xiao Yu's attitude towards mountain thieves, of course, he can't wait to eliminate those mountain thieves who claim to be heroes but quietly bully the weak and fear the hard.

However, Xiao Yu understood that since the strange situation of the army coexisting with mountain thieves in the southwest has existed for hundreds of years, it is not so easy to be broken, and those mountain thieves are not so easy to be wiped out.

"I just led the army to eliminate the mountain thieves, which may cause the hostility of all the mountain thieves in the whole southwest."

"The Lord's concern is right. If the Lord goes to exterminate the mountain thieves now, it will certainly arouse the hostility of all the mountain thieves in the southwest. However, there are too few soldiers under the Lord's command now. It is difficult for the Lord to do anything else except to suppress bandits."

Xiao Yu frowned and thought for nearly a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, she frowned and said in a low voice, "Yangshan is in Yunshan County. The mountain thieves in Yangshan are also the power of Yunshan County. In addition to that group of mountain thieves, it is also a good thing to fight Yangshan City in the future."

"Has the Lord decided to go to Yangshan to eliminate the mountain thieves?"

"Although we know that there are mountain thieves in Yangshan, we don't know the number and strength of the mountain thieves. Under the way to go to Yangshan Mountain to eliminate the mountain thieves, we still need to know more about it."

He replied to Lin Beiwen with a smile, and Xiao Yu walked towards the exit of the secret room.

After leaving the secret room with Lin Beiwen, Xiao Yu called all three and thirty heads to the council chamber of the general's mansion.

After Xiao Yu swept around everyone, she did not ask everyone about the number and strength of Yangshan thieves. Instead, she inquired about the defenders of Yaocheng and Yangshan City.

"Which of you knows more about the defenders of Yaocheng and Yangshan City?"

After everyone looked at each other, a man named Gao Cheng stood up first.

"I know a little about it!"

Xiao Yu looked up and down at Gao Cheng, nodded and smiled, "Sill down, take your time."

"General Xie!"

After Gao Cheng sat down, he slowly told him what he knew about Zhang Cheng'an, the general of Yao City, and Liu Jinshan, the general of Yangshan City.

According to Gao Cheng, Zhang Cheng'an is a suspicious and timid person, while Liu Jinshan is cautious and more courageous.

There are 9,000 defenders in Yaocheng and Yangshan City, but only the defenders of Yangshan City have often harassed Wuxi City in recent years.

Xiao Yu nodded and asked Gao Cheng, "Your home should be in Maxi City, right?"

"My ancestors have lived in Wuxi City for three generations!"

"Are you interested in being in charge of intelligence?"

Gao Cheng heard the words and looked happy. He got up and arched his hand and replied, "What the general wants to do, he will do."

Xiao Yu looked at Gao Cheng and nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice, "You can find it from the army or recruit from the city. You would have asked you to find 30 people qualified to be a spy within ten days. If you do it well, I will give you a position dedicated to collecting intelligence.

Now Xiao Yu is in urgent need of capable people. Xiao Yu doesn't know whether Gao Cheng is a capable person, but he knows that Gao Cheng should be a person who knows how to seize the opportunity.

In many cases, the people who really make a difference are not those who are talented, but those who know how to seize the opportunity and work hard for it.

If Gao Cheng really completes his order within ten days, even if Gao Cheng's own ability is not strong, Xiao Yu will cultivate him carefully.

"My subordinates will live up to the general's expectations!"

"Hmm! Sit down!"

Returning to Gao Cheng's sentence, Xiao Yu said to Lin Beiwen, who was sitting in the first place on the left hand side, "After a while, you can write a conscription order to replace the previous conscription order, and you can add the article 'the tax reduction and exemption of the family of soldiers' to the new conscription order."

Lin Beiwen's eyes lit up and said respectfully, "I'm on your command!"

Xiao Yu nodded to Lin Beiwen and then said, "All three of them will stay and discuss the training with the general. Let's go down first!"

"My subordinates have left!"

After Lin Beiwen and Zhongdu left, Xiao Yu called Li Lianshan and the others to the study to discuss the training.
