The reason why Liu Yu's face was full of anger was because the content in this secret report was too outrageous.
According to reports from spies in Qi, just two days ago, Gou Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, not only killed the Donglai army caravan that passed Linzi, which was the caravan that Liu Yu sent to Luoyang, but also killed all the people.
He also sent his younger brother "Xiao Gou" Gouchun to confiscate all the shops opened by Donglai people in Linzi City, and killed many people. In a short time, Liu Yu used the powerful merchants in Donglai County to plant all the spies. .
When Liu Yu told the generals present, everyone was excited, and everyone clamored to go to Gou Xi and make him pay with blood.
Liu Yu actually felt that this matter was not that simple.
This matter was not simply motivated by wealth, but rather Gou Xi did it deliberately, just to make Liu Yu furious and let the Donglai army take the initiative to attack him, and then he could wait for work and use many troops to attack him from afar. The Donglai Army.
Because Liu Yu would definitely not be able to endure this incident. In that case, an army commander would be indifferent to such a humiliation. This would not only chill his subordinates, but also make them feel that Liu Yu was lying low in front of Gou Xi. .
Therefore, Liu Yu must have sent troops to take revenge.
And there was another reason that gave Liu Yu the opportunity to solve the supply problem of the more than 20,000 surrendered troops.
Because after this period of random thinking and implementation, the immediate food shortage situation has not been solved. According to the current consumption progress, I am afraid that in two months, when the spring season has just begun, the entire army will be without food. Then At that time, I'm afraid the entire army will turn into a gang of beggars and go out begging for food.
Liu Yu was completely convinced that productivity could not be improved, and no matter how many methods he tried, it would be useless, because the land would not lie to people, and without breakthrough development, he would produce as much grain as an acre of land should produce.
In fact, if Gou Xi's method of inciting hatred had not been used, Liu Yu would have found an excuse to send troops to divert the internal contradictions.
Moreover, most of the caravan members killed by Gou Xi were the children of various powerful families in Donglai County. These powerful people were originally forced to side with Liu Yu due to the situation, and most of them wanted to make money together instead of together. Taking the risk, Gou Xi now happened to be a big help to Liu Yu, allowing these Donglai County heroes to step onto his chariot willingly.
After all, these powerful people are the most direct victims. In these troubled times, if kindness and tolerance are not blindly bottomless, it will only attract more malice.
Letting Xiaoxiao be afraid of you is far safer than letting them love you.
Liu Yu quickly issued the mobilization order, and for a while, the three major members of the Donglai Army were excited and full of fighting spirit.
The rebels who were Liu Yu's old base all know the current situation. Dong Ping, Li Feng, Zhao Kun, Guan Tao and others all know that if there is no good way to solve the supply problem, I am afraid that the more than 20,000 newly surrendered troops will become If they become burdensome or dangerous, then not only will they be raised for two months in vain, but they will also have to bear the risk of mutiny.
The power of Donglai County was not only stimulated by the killing of its own caravan members, but also because Linzi City is a large northern city alongside Ye City. There are many commercial ports there, and it is the largest distribution point of Haiyan in Donglai County. If it is lost, The power to sell in Linzi is absolutely unacceptable to the powerful Donglai County who have tasted the huge profits from salt. After all, the world is in chaos and all industries are in ruins. There is nothing more profitable than the necessity of salt. If there is, All that's left is looting.
And those newly surrendered Qidi powerful tribes are always thinking about returning to their hometown. Originally, they thought that they might have to stay in the ravines of Donglai County within a few years. Now they heard that Liu Yu would lead them After fighting back to Qidi, everyone was very happy. Not only could they seek revenge from Tu Bogou Xi for being abandoned by the army, but they could also return to Qidi where their business was.
Although most of the Donglai Army soldiers supported Liu Yu's decision to send troops, some people still felt that such haste might be dangerous, and they might fall into the trap or trap that Gou Xi had already prepared.
Among them, Gongsun Sheng is the representative figure of this idea.
"General, Gou Xi must have done this deliberately. I'm afraid he had a plan a long time ago. He just waited for the general to raise an army out of anger and fell into his trap."
"Then what do you think it should be?"
"The general can send a famous person to argue with Gou Xi first, and then make arguments later."
