After an autumn rain, everything revives. guard
Li Yong and a few of his men sat on the second floor of the teahouse at an oblique angle not far from the county government office, just staring at the side door of the county government office.
Xin Yan next to him said: "Master, we have been waiting here all morning. Not to mention a human being, we didn't even see a dog. Do we have to keep watching like this?"
Li Yong glanced at him and said calmly: "If you are impatient, you can go back to your house first and tell your family that I won't go back for the time being."
Xin Yan smiled coquettishly, but naturally it was impossible for him to really agree and leave.
In that case, he might really have to let Li Yong give up in the future. I don't know how many people are watching his position, so naturally he would not be willing to give up.
By following Li Yong, not only does he himself benefit, but his family members can also live a good life.
Li Yong ignored his thoughts. Although this young man has an unstable temperament, he still has some ability to do things and is considerate in his daily service. It is said that you don't need to be competent if you are familiar with it. He just likes to complain. This problem needs to be corrected. Anyway, he will work harder and become more mature. Enough. guard
After all, he is actually just a teenager, and he is not an old monster like him. Li Yong still has the patience to give him some time to grow up.
If this kind of confidants can be cultivated, it will be more useful.
As for the time in the future when I become arrogant and domineering, if that time comes, I will still care about this much.
"Sir, your snacks are here..."
The waiter wanted to leave after delivering the meal, but Li Yong stopped him and asked him: "This side gate of the county government office, how many people usually leave?"
"It's not that small, but it's the time when the government office is closed. If the government officials and clerks who live nearby want to take a shortcut, they will come here. If the guest officer wants to wait for someone, it will be too early at this time. ..."
Li Yong nodded and waited for the waiter to go down before he told Xinyan: "Go and ask the county government office about the schedule. Those government officials and civil servants may come at different times..." Wei
Xin Yan asked strangely: "If the time comes, do we still have to wait here?"
Li Yong smiled and said: "You still have to wait, I just want to know how long it will take."
Xin Yan was puzzled, but he nodded and went to ask.
While Li Yong was eating snacks, he thought to himself that among Han Da's government officials, there was indeed that big man, and he had taken leave a few days ago and only came back in the past two days.
So after getting the news, Li Yong immediately came here to block the door, because according to his inference, if the other party's true identity was the Qiantang thief, then he should have gone back to report the news.
After all, the Qiantang thieves are now huddled on the river all day, and they cannot grasp the news from the outside world. And if they know it from others, it is difficult to trust them, so they can only use this stupid method.
The yamen servants of this county government are not only in the important place of the yamen office, but also can hang out in the market during the weekdays. They can grasp all kinds of news in the county at one hand. guard
And now that he comes here, he probably still has the mission of contacting the Wu County Lieutenant.
Wu County Lieutenant cannot remain indifferent to the death of his brother-in-law. He will probably have to find a chance to come back in the next few days, and they will definitely be in touch by then.
Li Yong didn't intend to stop him, and had to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish.
Even now, even if he saw the man coming out of the county government office, he did not go over to contact him immediately. He just silently observed his movements. After seeing him come out, he turned into a nearby house, met the person inside, and talked for a while. Erhua left again and returned to the county government office along the original road.
Then some homing pigeons were released from the courtyard, but they were intercepted by Li Yong halfway.
"Master..." Xinyan came back after asking about the situation and saw Li Yong suddenly grabbing a pigeon to the side with one hand. She was also surprised. She saw that he took out a letter from the pigeon's claws. She didn't dare to disturb him and stayed silent. After a while, Li Yong thought for a moment and released the pigeon before he stepped forward and asked, "Master, do we still want..."
Just now, he also saw someone coming out of the county government office, and he felt that it was probably the person Li Yong was waiting for. guard
Li Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "No need for the time being. Next, you can arrange for someone to be there."
Just wait here, record their movements and tell me, and don't worry about the rest. "
"Yes..." Xinyan was confused about Li Yong's behavior, but thinking about it these days, there were many things he didn't understand.
What if someone is the master?
He just needs to follow Li Yong's arrangements and do whatever he says.
The goal has been achieved, so Li Yong will naturally not stay here any longer.
The purpose of coming here is to verify his whereabouts and see his purpose at the same time. Now that we have both aspects, we can let it go first.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Yong would not expose the other party's identity directly at this time. Instead, he would first follow this person to find out the location and personnel of the Qiantang thief before arranging the next action. guard
In fact, if you can really know yourself and the enemy, then you may not need so much trouble to go straight to Huanglong and destroy the group of water thieves directly.
Of course, this is risky, and a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.
What's more, Li Yong's original purpose, which he didn't even confess to Li Yuan, was that he didn't care about the water thieves, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of suppressing the bandits to develop a team of his own.
At the same time, it is also to practice my own practical operations. After all, no matter how good the military theory is, I am still a rookie in practice.
Whether it is military training or battle experience, it needs to be accumulated slowly.
This is not only to deal with the Qiantang bandit, but also to prepare for many possible uprisings in the future.
Since the Song Dynasty, uprisings have been constant and have almost become a "cultural trend". guard
Moreover, the causes and situations of the uprisings here are diverse, including uprisings of peasants who cannot survive, uprisings of small and medium-sized landlords like Fang La who are cloaked in religious garb, and various types of bandits, bandits, bandits, and water thieves. Needless to say.
And in the end, quite a few of them ended up being recruited.
He didn't want to go to Luocao, but if he could seriously recruit a team of people to help suppress the rebellion, he would be able to skip the steps of slowly climbing up the ranks in the army and be promoted to the middle level in one fell swoop.
However, it is not easy to mix among the Song army, unless it wins the war against Liao.
In fact, given the current situation of the Song Army, it is still possible to do it, provided that he needs to have enough authority to control the entire team.
In short, it is too early to talk about these things now. We have to take a step at a time before speaking.
At present, the escort office has been built and some manpower has been recruited. However, there is no need for Li Yong to sit there. He only needs to check in from time to time to ensure that everything is developing according to his preset trajectory. guard
Next, let the master teach them to practice the moves first. These people all have a certain foundation. The master naturally teaches martial arts and training methods in the military.
This training master is not an easy one. He is already quite old, and he is still disabled, but he is a veteran who has survived the war with the Liao people since Taizong's time. He has truly walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Li Yuan spent a lot of money to invite him, but what really made him willing to come was because his youngest son had been killed by the Qiantang thief before. It could be said that he was definitely among the people who hated the water thief the most.
Among the future escorts of the escort agency, there are also many similar experiences. This is naturally what Li Yong did intentionally when selecting people.
In fact, this is not difficult. The Qiantang thieves have been wreaking havoc nearby for two years. Although they mainly target the belongings of each family, they are naturally not the kind who only care about money and their lives. Many of them help with work and transport goods. He was an innocent person who was implicated, but he was attacked indiscriminately by water thieves.
These hatreds against the water thieves can all be exploited.
In this process, it is also important to slowly brainwash them and make them loyal to you. guard
