283 Unexpected
Tingzhou is three hundred miles away from Xizhou, and Li You arrived here quickly in the afternoon of the next day. To Li You's surprise, Gai Jiayun actually greeted him with a smile, but Li You knew very well that he was not satisfied with himself in his heart, and he could only talk about it after he talked about it.
Don't look at Gai Jiayun looking downright and honest, strong body, and feel very close to people, but Li You knows that this is just the appearance, if it weren't for him, Gai Jiayun would be fully capable of breaking Yecheng. But now, under the name of unfavorable warfare, he is definitely not happy in his heart.
In the back hall of the Jiedu Envoy's government office, Anxi Deputy Chief Guard Gao Xianzhi was also here, and Gai Jiayun smiled and introduced Li You to Li You. After seeing the gift, Li You gave Gai Jiayun a small box, which contained two flying coins and five hundred taels of gold. After Gai Jiayun looked at it, his expression remained the same. Li You knew it seemed to be a little troublesome this time. .
Gai Jiayun smiled and said: "Li You, this time your majesty has sent you to fetch Broken Leaf and Hengluosi City. There are not many people who can help you with the original guardian. You also know that our army is newly defeated and many people have been lost. Now, only those people in Tingzhou City can be dispatched to you. This is not because the guard is embarrassing you. You also know that the land under the jurisdiction of the guard of Beiting is very vast, and there are not enough soldiers. It's also the truth from Beiting."
Hearing this, Li You also secretly slandered in his heart: There are not many people in the North Court, and there are a lot of soldiers and soldiers, but the soldiers here in Anxi can be transferred. Countries with the surname or other forces can also deploy troops, which is obviously trying to cheat yourself.
"Most guards, the humble duty knows that most guards are in a dilemma, but hope that most guards can allocate sufficient food and grass, otherwise there is no way to fight this battle."
Hearing Li You finished speaking, Gai Jiayun was really taken aback. He didn't expect that Li You would really dare to take the job, but Li You took it, he was very happy, as long as Li You was defeated, he would come again. Taking broken leaves, this skill is on his head. He embarrassed Li You for this, isn't it
"Hehe, okay, I won't miss your military situation, so I will be able to allocate food and grass. I don't know when Governor Li will send his troops?"
Li You also smiled and said: "Most Guardians, it's winter now, and it will snow soon. It's really not possible to attack the city at this time. The humble post intends to send troops until the beginning of spring."
Gai Jiayun said: "Okay, I wish you all the best in this year's work. Take it back, I never accept gifts."
Li You took the box back, and still smiled and said, "It's a humble job that has been abrupt, and I hope most protectors don't blame it."
Without talking, Li You naturally left with interest. He also thought that there would be such a result. For him, nowadays, it is better to ask for himself. No matter how difficult it is, he has to do it. There are also five thousand soldiers on the board? The big deal is to recruit mercenaries by yourself.
After Li You left, Gao Xianzhi said to Gai Jiayun: "Most Protector, Li You is a little capable person. If he only used five thousand soldiers to win the broken leaves..."
Before he could finish his words, Gai Jiayun chuckled slightly and asked: "If you lead ten thousand soldiers, plus five thousand Hu soldiers, can you win the broken leaves?"
"It's difficult." Gao Xianzhi told the truth. Broken Leaf now has more than 10,000 soldiers. As the offensive team, it is really difficult to take down with 15,000 people.
"Since you can't get it, Li You can get it for five thousand people?" After speaking, Gai Jiayun poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
In the next few days, Gai Jiayun prepared ample grain for Li You, and gave Li You 500 more horses in kindness, and left the rest to Li You. After five days in Xizhou, Li You returned to Tingzhou.
As soon as he came back, Li You approached Nangong Yi to discuss the matter. He had no soldiers in his hands. It was impossible to fight a war. Although Li You’s so-called mercenaries were feasible, they cost too much, even if Li You carried himself. I’m afraid it’s not enough. The point is that these mercenaries may not really have any combat effectiveness. More importantly, the soldiers in Tingzhou are still not convinced by Li You. This is the first solution. The problem.
"If you want the sergeant to have the heart to fight to the death, then you have to think of a way. I think it is a good way to suppress the bandits."
After Nangongyi finished speaking, Li You thought for a while, and then said, "Mister is talking about the two tribes of Shatuo?"
"This big Tingzhou, there is more of a banditry in this place. As long as Alang, you lead the troops to fight the bandit several times, this manpower will naturally be there."
Li You nodded and said, "It depends on whether we are lucky. If we kill a big one, everything will be resolved. Okay, then do it. I will send someone to inquire tomorrow, and if there is a bandit, we will kill it. ."
In the next half month, Feng Yaocha asked about two horse bandits and a looting tribe. The two horse bandits robbed the merchants of the past, but they were very secretive. The government had nothing to do with them. They came and went without a trace. Yes, I don't know who it is at all.
This looting tribe is a sub-tribe of the Mukun tribe in the Western Turkistan. It often invades the ethnic groups east of the Emin River Basin. No matter which ethnicity they are, they can not mistakenly rob them. The reason is that it is allocated to the Tang Dynasty. The pastures in Mukun were looted every time on the grounds that other ethnic groups were crossing the border.
With the addition of the Shatuo, it should be inspiring. Now it's up to who should take the knife first, and how can we contribute to this matter.
Li You and Nangong Yi discussed again in the living room of the back residence of the government office.
"Why did Alang look for the horse bandit first, they came and went without a trace, besides, this horse bandit doesn't have as much money as the Shatuo people."
"Don’t you forget how the 100,000 ginseng came, don’t underestimate the horse bandit, besides, the big ones must be left to others, we are just a start. And this matter, I plan to start now. , Can’t wait until next year.”
Nangong Yi asked: "It's winter now, and there is still a layer of snow outside. Even if you lure them out, you may not really be fooled."
It's a cold winter, and there are not many caravans. Even if there are, there will not be much cargo. Generally, there are really no gangsters at this time. If you want to gain something in this season, you really have to look at luck. If you can't seduce it, it's nothing.
"I think that as long as the news spreads quickly and the goods are fully stocked, some people will come forward. One of them is moving towards Gongyue City and the other is on the way to Pulei County. This is a good thing, as long as we In Tingzhou, it is proclaimed that there is a Datang tycoon who wants to transport a large amount of goods and money here, and then find someone to pretend to be tempted, they should still be fooled, as long as they come out, we will have the opportunity to eradicate them."
Nangong Yi said again: "This kind of clumsy method is very much a matter of luck. When do you plan to start?"
"Naturally it is now. I will arrange this later. I believe they will come." (End of this chapter)
