Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 331 Alien Beast
Anguo, Shanluo County.

Located in the northwest of Anguo, between Yen Bai County and Thang Long Province in San La County, there are many mountains and forests and rivers in the territory.It is also because of the terrain that Shanluo County is difficult to develop, and it can be regarded as a famous barren land.

Among the rolling mountains, there are forests all over the place.Lush and lush, overlapping, this is a beautiful scenery of mountains and forests that can't be seen at a glance.

But at this moment, in the mountain forest in front of him, there was no sound of birds, especially the sound of wild beasts in the mountain forest.The deep mountain forest is so quiet that it makes one's heart shudder, obviously something unusual!
A group of Anguo merchants led a caravan and drove along the mountain road in groups towards the depths of the mountains.

There are many mountains in Keshanluo County, so naturally there will be no business roads.So this group of merchants appeared here at this time, and they also brought a lot of supplies, which made people feel extremely unusual.

At this time, only rustling sounds could be heard in the forest.

The merchant headed by the caravan moved his ears, raised his hand immediately, and shouted:
"stop!"

The caravan stopped slowly, immediately showing vigilance, and looked nervously into the forest ahead.

Only the sound of Xisuo became more and more urgent, and there was a cry of "Heng Ha Heng Ha", as if some wild beast was about to break out of the forest.

Beasts are afraid of crowds, so it is reasonable to say that they rarely attack caravans on their own initiative.But anything can happen in the mountains, so naturally I dare not be careless.

A guard in the caravan stepped forward, with the sword out of the sheath in his hand, looking vigilantly into the dense forest ahead.

The next moment, I felt a gust of wind hit.

A huge cyan wild boar with a body length of six feet, carrying a gust of wind, was so fast that it seemed to have a phantom, and rushed towards the caravan blocking the front without avoiding it.

Before the caravan guards could react, they saw the wild boar's four hooves exert force, and its huge figure leaped several feet high, showing agility movements that were completely incompatible with its huge figure. How could it look like a wild boar!

A huge black shadow passed over their heads, and the people in the caravan looked up subconsciously, with horror on their faces.

This is, what the hell! ! !
The next moment, the wild boar stepped heavily on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

At this moment, more than a dozen men drilled out of the forest again, military masters wearing the light armor of the Li Dynasty before, looked at the wild boar from a distance.

The wild boar's huge body stopped, and slowly turned around. Unlike ordinary wild boars, the four sharp fangs exposed from its mouth made people feel chills.With huge eyes, he skipped over the stunned caravan and looked at the dozen or so military masters.

I don't know if it's a psychological factor or something else, but everyone actually sensed a trace of mockery from these eyes.

The huge blue wild boar snorted, twisted its strong body, and left quickly under the eyes of everyone.

The dozens of military masters who chased them out felt the mocking look of the wild boar at this time, and they all showed anger.

"Damn, let this bastard run away again!"

"This beast is not like an ordinary beast. Its strength is comparable to that of a fifth-level master, and it seems to be smarter than my five-year-old child!"

"Go back and transfer another team of soldiers and horses. I don't believe it. I can't help but a wild boar!"

All the people in the caravan who were stunned slowly came back to their senses at this time.After seeing the appearance and attire of the dozen or so people, the head shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face:
"So it's the brothers!"

It wasn't until the head of the caravan spoke that a group of sergeants and soldiers noticed them.

Seeing the leaders of the caravan, these soldiers all showed smiles on their faces, and they all clasped their fists in salute and said:

"It turns out that Shopkeeper Feng is here!"

Hearing the words, shopkeeper Feng smiled back and said:
"Such a movement shocked our group. The mountains are high and the forest is dense. Just now I thought it was some kind of robber who robbed the road!"

Hearing this, the leading military master on the opposite side hastily said:
"I laughed at Shopkeeper Feng. Just now, that wild boar often broke into the warehouse of the camp and spoiled rice, grain, wine and meat. I waited until I was caught by the military order... It's just that you saw it just now. This beast is by no means an ordinary beast, but Feng The shopkeeper laughed!"

Hearing the words, Shopkeeper Feng subconsciously looked towards the direction where the beast left just now, and said with lingering fear:
"The beast just now is really unusual! I have been in the business for many years, and I have seen a lot, but I have never seen such a powerful beast!"

In the world, there has never been a beast comparable to a fifth-order master before.If it wasn't for the wild boar not colliding with the caravan just now, or not to mention all his subordinates, even he himself would not be well.

Having said that, the person hastily continued:
"By the way, shopkeeper Feng may not know, but you can relax when you send supplies in the future! The general has already ordered to wipe out all the bandits and thieves within hundreds of miles around! Now Shanluo County Although the cottages in the middle are still under the name of bandits, they are actually our brothers. I dare not say anything else, but the treasurer Feng is in Shanluo County, and he can definitely go unimpeded!"

When Shopkeeper Feng heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said immediately:
"So good!"

Only from these conversations, and the standard armor and weapons worn and held by these men in front of them, it can be seen that these people are definitely not bandits.

But in today's Anguo, they still need to use the name of bandits to cover up their identities in the army. Naturally, they are the soldiers of the Li army who were determined to resist the rule of the Yun Kingdom in the Li Dynasty army in the past!

And the army hides in the mountains and forests and survives as bandits. Naturally, it is impossible to really live by robbing the poor like the bandits in the mountains.

The shopkeeper Feng in front of him is so familiar with these people, even if he is not the financial master behind the support of these remnants of the Li army, he must be the person responsible for the transportation of the army's supplies.

When the two parties met, those Li troops immediately stepped forward and began to lead the way for the caravan.

After walking along the mountain road for a while, we came to a mountain depression.

I don't know when, a courtyard was built here.

Shopkeeper Feng looked at the courtyard in front of him, was taken aback for a moment, looked at the man leading the way, and couldn't help asking:

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, Li Jun, the leader, immediately explained:
"The general ordered that the people under the shopkeeper Feng have worked hard all the way. Our camp is inconvenient, so I let you rest here. For the rest of the way, we will send people to pick us up, and tomorrow we will take all the horses and horses." Send it back!"

Shopkeeper Feng frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:
"what about me?"

"Shopkeeper, you are different, but you have to work hard, and you will go up to the camp with me!"

Although he wanted this Shopkeeper Feng to work harder, but upon hearing this sentence, Shopkeeper Feng relaxed his brows, smiled again on his face, and kept nodding:

"Is this the arrangement of your general?"

The leader Li Jun bowed his hands and apologized:
"Please forgive me, the shopkeeper. Before that, many benevolent and righteous men in the country lost their lives in the capital because they were betrayed by traitors! Although the general later sneaked into the king's capital alone to take the heads of the thieves, it was difficult to save the lives of the righteous men, so now we can only Handle with care..."

Hearing the words, Shopkeeper Feng was not only not angry, but showed joy on his face, nodded repeatedly, and said:

"Yes, well done! General Rong is so cautious, I think all the leaders in the club know, and of course they are happy!"

The ancestral temple of the Li Dynasty lasted for more than 600 years. Naturally, there are countless people who cherish old favors, especially those who can be completely eradicated after a few rounds of cleaning in the court?

Although these people who escaped the catastrophe secretly formed associations, they intended to restore the country.But because they are all people who don't have much influence in the government and the public, otherwise they would not be let go by Dongchang, so there is nothing to worry about.

Up to now, it is only possible to raise some material funds and silver to support these surviving soldiers who are determined to restore the country and country of the Li Dynasty.

Hearing this, the leader of the Li army was also happy and said:

"Thank you, Master Feng, for your understanding!"

Several people exchanged pleasantries, ate some food, and rested for a while.Then more than a hundred soldiers arrived, took the chariots and horses from the caravan, and set off towards the depths of the mountains together with shopkeeper Feng.

After twists and turns, a group of Li soldiers came to an inconspicuous mountain peak and began to go up the mountain.

It has to be said that among these remnants of the Li army, there are obviously capable people!

The chosen garrison is extremely dangerous, even if a large army comes to attack, it will not be easy to go beyond it.Along the way, there are clear and dark whistles everywhere to guard against the enemy.

With this garrison, no matter how brave the soldiers and horses of Yunguo are, no matter how wise the commander of the army is, it is impossible to capture it easily.

Now at this time, he dared to take the risk of beheading and lead the troops to deliver supplies to the remnants of the Li army. He was naturally a diehard with Li Dynasty in his heart.

At this time, he saw the strict defense of the Li army coming all the way, even though he was tired all the way, he was even happier in his heart, and praised General Rong again and again.

And when everyone came to the mountain, it was already evening.

But at this moment in the Li army camp, the atmosphere was a bit gloomy.

In the big tent, Rong Yichun sat silently on the main seat, with a dozen people sitting on either side.

Among the dozen or so people, there are Li army generals in armor, martial arts masters dressed as Jianghu people, staff members dressed as scholars and literati, and even men dressed as farmers, woodcutters, and merchants.

With just a glance, one can see that the composition of these people gathered in the tent in front of them is extremely complicated.

A general of the Li army slammed the table and shouted:

"Old man Li, what do you mean by saying this at this time!"

On the opposite side, the man dressed as a farmer with a vicissitudes of life also frowned and said:

"What do you mean? I just said that Yunguo is distributing land to the people. It won't take long for the people to turn to Yunguo!"

"Speaking these frustrating words at this time, do you regret it in your heart, and want to seek refuge in Yunguo in exchange for wealth and power?" General Li Jun stared and snorted coldly.

Hearing this kind of words, old man Li suddenly felt a wave of nameless anger in his heart, he also got up and said angrily:

"I just told General Rong what happened during this period of time and the reactions of the common people. These words are all true. If I say them, I will be discouraged? Is it because I intend to seek refuge in Yunguo? If I want to be an eagle dog, I must Let your stinky mouth not be able to spray dung water!"

"Look, you have spoken your mind! You really want to join Yunjun!"

"Don't you guys understand people's language? You need to clean up!"

"Come, come, let's make gestures! Let's see who owes..."

"To shut up!"

Above the main seat, there was an angry shout at this moment.

Rong Yichun had a wooden face, and looked coldly at the two people who were arguing.

Thanks to Dongchang's secret help, Rong Yichun's prestige at this time was extremely high among the remnants of the Li Dynasty.A scolding immediately caused a dispute, and even the two people who had the faint intention of fighting died down.

The two looked at each other angrily, then sat back on their seats with a cold snort.

Another person dressed as a scholar said with a solemn face:

"The people in the country are ignorant and ignorant. They are greedy for small gains. Naturally, they don't know how to appreciate the kindness of the kings of the past. Even if they have occasional thoughts about the rise and fall of the country, they don't always keep it in their hearts. Although these methods of Yunguo seem to be just for the common people. The land was divided, but it happened to use these petty profits to win the hearts of the people. I am afraid that Old Man Li's worry is definitely not delusional..."

"Well, what kind of people are lazy by nature and don't know how to work hard. They only complain about the government every day, and finally become waste and troublesome people who make a living as tenants. Now relying on Yunguo to get the land, they naturally forget themselves. It's fundamental!" The general just now snorted again.

All of a sudden, discussions among the handsome tents continued.

"The land that Yunguo gave them was accumulated by the country's gentry and scholar families for many years. These unscrupulous people accepted it with peace of mind. It's really abhorrent!"

"According to me, it's better to send troops and horses to use thunderous means on those who dare to accept apprentices, so as to frighten the whole country!"

"Good idea! We can't beat the people of Yunguo, and we can't deal with a group of unruly people?"

Rong Yichun sat on the main seat, folded his hands on his chest, his face was dull, but he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Most of these people in front of them were from the ruling class of the Le Dynasty, those middle and low-level officials and general families.

These people, as well as their families, must have had the experience of relying on the power of the court to dominate and gain benefits, so they are naturally "grateful".

But the common people did not enjoy these benefits, and there were even some incidents of being bullied by the rich and powerful.It is ridiculous to accuse the people of not knowing how to appreciate King Li's kindness!
At this time, Rong Yichun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly:

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy... Ever since Yunguo distributed fields to the people, there are always reports of soldiers sneaking out of the camps in various camps. If it is true as you just said, I am afraid that the soldiers will not obey orders! "

Rong Yichun took some soldiers and horses from the camp of Anpei County at the beginning, and then successively recruited officials, soldiers, and martial arts practitioners from all over the country, adding up to more than ten thousand people in his hands. soldiers and horses.

Among these people, those who are dissatisfied with Yun Kingdom's rule indeed account for the majority.But there are also people who were coerced by superior officials and colleagues, or people who felt remorse when they saw the great power of Yunguo.

Now the Prime Minister’s Yamen in Anguo is presiding over the land reform. Although it has not been fully implemented in Anguo, after the people of Anguo learned about it, the hearts of the people have become attached. thought.

There are also soldiers from the bottom, thinking that their family members can benefit from such a policy, they have strange thoughts in their hearts, and they also choose to abscond.

Although Rong Yichun was the leader of these Li Dynasty adherents on the surface, in fact he was the man planted by Dongchang.

So after the soldiers escaped, he naturally pretended to be in a dilemma. Apart from arranging the transfer of his subordinates who might be exposed, he did not do anything like block the news and let his subordinates The army's morale and morale are getting lower and lower.

And by saying this at this time, it is natural that these people in front of them will miss the soldiers under their command, so they will be afraid and dare not destroy the prime minister's government's land policy.

The soldiers under their command were determined to resist the rule of the Yun Kingdom, all because of their passion for defending their homeland and their bravery as soldiers.

However, most of these soldiers were from low-level families, and their families must have benefited from the land reform of the prime minister's office.

If it is really like what I just said, if you want to frighten the people with thunderous means, not to mention whether it will attract the army of Yunguo to encircle and suppress, I am afraid that the soldiers under you will take the lead in mutiny!
Sure enough, when Rong Yichun said this, even the most radical person just now fell silent.

The people who were arguing in the tent suddenly became depressed at this moment, and sighed in unison, revealing a sorrowful look of worrying about the country and the people.

Seeing these people turned off the fire and looked helpless, Rong Yichun sneered even more in his heart.

Just such a group of bastards, dare to resist me, Da Yun Tianwei?
At this time, someone outside the account reported:

"General, Treasurer Feng is here!"

Rong Yichun restrained his mind when he heard the words, then looked around at the crowd with a solemn look, and said in a deep voice:
"The materials in our army now depend on the support of the club... If these things are seen by others, it will be somewhat ugly!"

The deep meaning in the words is to say that the materials we need now rely entirely on the support of the club.If people see our embarrassment and lose confidence, it will not be so easy to get supplies in the future!

When everyone heard the words, they immediately understood and stopped talking.

Rong Yichun stood up, straightened his clothes, put on a smile, and said:

"Let's go, come with me and meet our Shopkeeper Feng!"

"Yes!" Everyone got up and answered.

You can talk about other things, but now this benefactor must never let go!
