It was obvious that Li Yunze was overthinking.
Zhu Jin's nephews are all sons of Zhu Xuan, and they are all staying in Yunzhou City at this time.
Moreover, Li Yunze was not as arrogant as Prime Minister Cao, who dared to enter the city with only a small team of troops.
In the end, the three sages were killed in one shot.
The personal bodyguard, the eldest nephew and the eldest son were all lost in the city because of a soul-deep exchange with Prime Minister Cao.
Following the example of our generation, when Li Yunze entered Yanzhou City, he brought thousands of armored cavalry with him, and there were even more stationed outside the city.
If the Taining Army really wanted to play a trick on him, "Zhang Xiuyu attacks Cao's thieves at night, and the evil forces come to Yuanmen and they can't fall down", then Li Yunze can teach them how to quickly go to the underworld and reincarnate.
"A civilian woman will serve Jiedu to change her clothes." The timid Tao over there had already stepped forward to serve her.
Li Yunze looked at the woman in front of him, "Zhu Jiedu died under my sword on the battlefield. Madam, you don't have any ideas?"
Tao's body trembled slightly with his head lowered. "In this world, as a warrior, once you go to the battlefield, you will either kill others or be killed by others. If you don't have this awareness, then why go to the battlefield."
He raised his hand and pressed it on Tao's hair, exerting force with his wrist downwards, "The Taining Army rebelled, destroyed your family, and sent you to this Jiedu. Do you have any ideas?"
Tao, who was squatting on the ground, untied it with trembling slender hands... "In these troubled times, people are worse than dogs, and civilian women are just weak little women. What can they think when facing a steel knife?"
"You are quite eloquent." Li Yunze, with a smile on his face, reached out and gently touched the corner of Tao's mouth, and took half a step forward. "You really have a eloquent mouth."
Tao, who was speechless, could not reply anymore and could only keep hemming and hawing.
After long periods of fighting abroad, especially those who have experienced life and death on the battlefield one after another, the tremendous pressure requires exercise that is beneficial to physical and mental health to relieve them.
Li Yunze is doing good things, really doing good things.
After all, a beautiful woman like Tao would end up miserable in this troubled world after losing her asylum.
】
If it weren't for her reputation, and Li Yunze's troops would already be at the gates. How could the Taining rebels let her go? They had probably already lined up outside her room.
Fortunately, Li Yunze arrived quickly enough, and the rebels had no choice but to sacrifice Tao unwillingly in order to win leniency.
Li Yunze's step forward helped save Tao and prevented her from being queued up.
Being a good person is really not easy.
I think Prime Minister Cao, who was a role model for our generation, probably thought the same way.
Li Yunze, who was deep in thought, closed his eyes and raised his head, 'Hiss~~~'
The poker game ended a bit quickly. After all, during this period of time, I was either on the road, fighting, or doing transportation. It had been too long since I had played poker, and it was normal for me to lose the game if my skills were unfamiliar and I didn't last long.
But it doesn't matter, Li Yunze, who has a pair of iron kidneys, will soon make a comeback and soar into the sky.
As for Mrs. Tao, if she really understood the world, then Li Yunze would take pity on her and take her back to the house to take care of her because the forest path is narrow and difficult to navigate.
If she has other thoughts, it can only be said to be her own choice.
Fortunately, after a whole night passed, Tao did not take out ice picks, scissors, daggers, axes, ropes and other objects from under the bed.
He didn't pick up the pillow to cover Li Yunze's mouth and nose, but he continued to snore until dawn.
After dawn, Li Yunze quickly got up to wash up, and then left the house to work.
The first is to reorganize the Taining Army in various parts of Yanzhou.
It's still the same old rule, if you are above the rank of captain please find another job, Li Yunze will give you a generous salary.
This is already a great deal of face. When Li Yunze recruited troops and horses in the past, the generals above the rank of captain were directly dealt with.
If someone doesn't know what's going on, they'll have to be sent to take the express train to the underworld.
After several ignorant Taining Army generals were sent on the road, the remaining ones had an epiphany.
Their minds suddenly became enlightened, and they happily accepted Li Yunze's kindness. They left Yanzhou City with tears of gratitude, and then cursed and went south to join Huainan Jiedushi Yang Xingmi.
Zhu Xuan, the governor of the Tianping Army in the north, was already a dead fish, so it was naturally impossible for him to defect.
Shi Pu, the governor of the Wuning Army, would obviously be a target, and no one would die.
The best choice for the generals and colonels who were driven away was naturally to go to Yang Xingmi in Huainan.
Li Yunze was not in a hurry to fight Zhu Xuan in the north and Shi Pu in the south. Instead, he started to engage in the tactics he was already very familiar with in Yanzhou.
To bring peace to the family, destroy the powerful, wipe out the party, and divide the land.
To sum it up simply, the powerful families and their henchmen who occupy a lot of resources but have a small number of people use their resources to unite the poor people with the largest number of people around them.
In this era where trees can be cut down into soldiers, numerical superiority is the most powerful advantage.
Moreover, those veterans who retired and became the village chiefs in the countryside will tell everyone day after day that if Li Jiedu was defeated, then the farm tools and seeds of Yongye Tianzhai that you have received now, etc. Everything will be defeated by Li Jiedu
Take away all the people!
The farmers in China are not stupid at all. They know very well that what Village Chief Li Zheng said is true.
Because they had come from an era when powerful families controlled everything, their support for Li Yunze was unprecedented.
At least based on the understanding of this era, the people's support for Li Yunze is extremely exaggerated.
In local government offices, all officials from county magistrates to tax collectors were replaced by retired sergeants, and they were given the best living security and honors.
In addition, a supervision system is being built to closely monitor the affairs of those above and below them, and once they are discovered, they will be dealt with directly and completely.
This completely different approach from the past allowed Li Yunze to maximize his mobilization ability within his jurisdiction.
Mobilize the people to build water conservancy projects, maintain river embankments, build waterwheels, dig canals, build roads, etc. There is no longer a need to force corvee work, and many people work voluntarily.
After all, everyone knows that if you use it after repairing it, you will benefit.
In the past, those who used these were the private lands of powerful families and royal family members. Even if they recruit corvees to do the work, they will not be able to do the work, and they will even secretly cause sabotage to vent their anger!
But with my own land, everything is different.
While he was busy cleaning up local gangsters and allocating fields to the common people, Li Yunze was also engaged in another important task, which was to suppress bandits.
People in the modern world hardly feel the existence of bandits, except for those who block the road in some unspeakable places...ahem.
The late Tang Dynasty was a time of chaos, and the most active ones in the chaos were bandits.
In times of peace, there is still government suppression. In times of chaos, the government cannot protect itself. Who is still in the mood to suppress bandits?
Moreover, many vassal towns fought against each other, and many defeated soldiers simply went to the mountains to become bandits because they were afraid of military law.
The bandits continued to grow in numbers and acted without scruple and with extreme cruelty.
Bandits who have lost their restraints are basically equivalent to an army of beasts.
Looting a place is just as familiar to the bandits as eating and drinking.
Killing villages and wiping out strongholds comes with ease.
As for the various cruel tortures and killings, they are too numerous to describe.
This area of Jingxi has always been a place where ruthless bandits appear. In troubled times, they are rampant in the countryside and do all kinds of evil.
Even the teams Li Yunze sent to various villages to distribute fields were attacked by bandits and suffered losses.
Li Yunze was very angry, and then the bandits would be in trouble.
Regular troops were dispatched, using a combination of infantry and cavalry, as well as local people who had been tortured as guides, to surround and attack the mountain strongholds one by one.
Because of the presence of a large number of cavalry, basically not many bandits could escape.
Most of the bandits were killed on the spot, and a small number of those who surrendered were strictly interrogated and screened. Those who committed crimes were dealt with directly. The rest were not let go, but were sent to the labor team to work until death.
In various novels, there are often many heroic bandits and bandits, but the writing is really not that good.
Therefore, Li Yunze's strangulation of bandits would basically leave no survivors alive.
After being busy until Yanzhou gradually became quiet, Li Yunze began to take the next step.
Before launching a new military operation, Li Yunze took away all the local soldiers and horses in Yanzhou and replaced them with defenders dispatched from Bianzhou.
Needless to say, the reason is that one of the deep-rooted sources of local power is that locals must not serve as officials or soldiers locally.
Li Yunze's target for sending troops again was naturally Zhu Xuan of the Tianping Army in the north, whose sphere of influence was in the Yunzhou area.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that Li Yunze is very familiar with this place.
The last time he was in the world of a certain bottle of plum, he hung out here for a long time. He has walked through almost all the mountains and rivers in Yuncheng.
For example, the famous Jingyanggang.
Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers in front of him, Li Yunze sighed in his heart, "The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. When will my work of constantly traveling through the heavens come to an end?"
After sighing for a while, Li Yunze, who was not very interested, silently led his soldiers and horses straight to Yuncheng.
Compared to Zhu Jin, who was directly killed by the formation and made Li Yunze famous in China, Zhu Xuan, the commander of the Tianping Army, was lucky enough to escape from Li Yunze's armored attack.
Envoy Zhu Jiedu ran out, but almost all the tens of thousands of people he brought with him were surrendered.
The entire Tianping Army only had 30,000 soldiers in total, and Zhu Xuan lost more than 20,000 in one battle.
After he escaped back, the Tianping army who was left behind to guard his home naturally felt contempt.
In the era of warriors, Jiedushi could not fight, and of course he would be looked down upon by warriors.
That is to say, Zhu Xuan's accumulated power is still there, and he can barely suppress it for the time being.
After learning that his younger brother Zhu Jin had died in battle, Zhu Xuan frantically clamored to cut Li Yunze into pieces to avenge his brother.
The other side desperately sent envoys everywhere to ask for help.
Needless to say, Shi Pu of Wuning Army, as well as Zhongwu Army, Yicheng Army, Yongping Army, Dongdu Defense Envoy, etc. who had secretly agreed before, all sent envoys, asking them to immediately send troops to attack Li Yunze who was empty in the rear. . And he also said that Li Yunze will now
Just like when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, the rear area is extremely empty and you can take it by sending troops.
It's a pity that no one dares to be Lu Bu, and the Chen palaces in Bianzhou and Songzhou were eliminated early by Li Yunze.
They fought for hundreds of miles and defeated two vassal towns in two days. Even Zhu Jin, who was famous for his bravery, was beheaded by the formation.
In the face of such a dazzling record, no one dared to take the initiative to provoke Li Yunze, who was so powerful in China.
Zhu Xuan went to Pinglu Town again to ask for rescue, but he had a bad relationship with Pinglu Town and was an enemy who often fought with him. It was too late to see him unlucky and happy, so how could he come to rescue him.
As for the powerful Wei Bojun, he was still in internal strife over who to capture as the Jiedushi, and had no time to spare.
While Zhu Xuan was still busy begging his grandfather and grandma for help, Li Yunze's army was already coming to kill him.
