Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 212: It’s hard to carry out orders with a mob

"Speak slowly, I have a headache!" Yang Shuo was woken up from the bed. She was so angry that she had woken up. She also heard a lot of chattering from her staff and suddenly became impatient. "Explain things clearly to me."

The staff smiled wryly. He also knew his temper as the chief officer, so he didn't dare to be too provocative, so he could only whisper about the situation: "There are horse thieves raging in the territory..."

Yang Shuo's eyes widened and he said: "Let the garrison deal with the horse thieves. What is this that I am leading? This is a foreign army directly affiliated with the imperial court. My commander just wiped out Wang Mi. Is this horse thieves more powerful than Wang Mi?" ? Is it because of this that you made such a noise that I couldn’t sleep? Why are the county offices doing that? How many horse thieves are there?"

The staff still smiled bitterly and said: "The information is not comprehensive. It may be more than a hundred people, or it may be more than 200..."

"If you don't know the news, you dare to send the news to me. Who is Lao Tzu? A servant of another local county government? If there are more than 200 horse thieves, it is not a small number, so the trouble happened? How come you haven't heard of it before?"

The staff quickly told the story of Mingfa Monk and his party, as well as all the aspects they were involved in.

It's okay not to say, but Yang Shuo became even more angry when he said it: "I went to the north again to participate in the Xingtan Forum. When the so-called masters of Confucian classics passed by, didn't they look down on me? How dare you belittle the coach? , Now that this group of people have been robbed by horse thieves, I want to praise the horse thieves!"

"General, be careful what you say!" When the staff heard this, sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they looked around carefully before saying: "This time things are a little different. Wei Ou and others can be said to be just ordinary celebrities. Although It doesn't matter if you have some background, the same goes for the great monk. Although his reputation is not small, it is not very important. The key is Sun Min, Cao Qing, and Xun Zhe of the Xun family. These three people are extraordinary. The first two are He is a descendant of the sage's Taoism, and Xun Zhe is a member of the Xun family..."

Yang Shuo waved his hand, interrupted, and asked a seemingly unrelated question: "What kind of saint's orthodoxy is this? It's a fresh theory. Aren't the two of them disciples of Xingtan?"

When the staff heard this, they smiled and said: "The term 'Tao Tong' originated from Mr. Chen Zhi's "Shi Shuo", which clarified the history of the three generations. The inheritance of the Tao becomes clear.”

"Mr. Chen Zhi?" Yang Shuo felt familiar with the name, and then slapped his hands fiercely, "I remembered, isn't it the Chen Zhi who sent a letter of tactics so that the commander could annihilate the king's thief? He What other doctrines can we come up with? The "Master's Theory" you are talking about is just an article? How about this article?"

"General, it's better to keep your mouth shut about military strategy," the staff member dutifully warned. After all, Zhu Shou strictly prohibited the matter from being spread outside. Although Zhuge Yan knew about it through channels, Zhu Shou's order was not cancelled. Afterwards, he briefly talked about the origin of Chen Zhi's article, which made Yang Shuo marvel.

"Mr. Chen is so awesome. From the head coach to Mr. Zheng Guan, everyone admires him. If there is a chance, I have to make friends with him."

The staff reminded again: "General, the most urgent thing is..."

Yang Shuo then ordered: "Okay, I'm not stupid. I praised the horse thieves a few words, but they still have to be killed. When I replied to them, I said that I would chase the horse thieves, but I must be fully prepared. I have to use cavalry. I can't kill them." If you work at night, you must wait until dawn, so that they can wait with peace of mind."

After receiving the order, the staff immediately passed the news on. When the county lieutenants and military leaders of the three counties knew about it, they immediately became happy.

"With General Yang's troops and horses, everything will be safe!"

"General Yang Shuo's troops and horses are left behind by General Zhu Shouzhong. Even Wang Mi is no match for them, let alone the little horse thief? We can rest easy."

"Actually, these horse thieves are quite interesting. Since entering the country, I haven't seen much movement from them. It's just that the convoy from the south this time is too high-profile. I'm afraid that others will not know that they have money, so they provoke the horse thieves."

"Don't say these words lightly, be careful what you say, be careful what you say."

"With General Yang taking action, we don't have to make such a mistake. We can just wait until the manpower is gathered and gather them together. This time, many aristocratic families in Wuyuan have been informed that they will send some servants over to form a team of people." They were really unlucky when they rounded up the horse thieves.”

"These trained servants are nothing to those big families, so they want to requisition them casually, but in our place, the aristocratic family is not having a good time. The trained armed servants are very precious, and they will not easily However, with the help of these servants, this matter will be a sure thing."

"Future and misfortune are unpredictable. Maybe these aristocratic families will use this to build a line. It is hard to say if they have a backer. Moreover, I got a news from the north that this group of horse thieves also has a history. The name of the leader For Niumen, there is a bounty on him..."

The three counties were originally quiet, each managing their own local affairs and not wanting to cause trouble. But when news came, they had to take over the matter. Everyone would inevitably feel resentful. After receiving Yang Shuo's reply, , each has his own discussion.

Soon, these counties sent the news back, and it fell into the hands of Wei Ou and others.

"This deputy general Yang Shuo is the deputy general of General Zhu Shouzhonglang? Is he willing to send troops?"

Compared with the garrison in each county, the bravery of the soldiers, and the news about the family members, Wei Ou paid more attention to Yang Shuo's willingness to send troops. In his opinion, whether he could defeat the horse thieves in one fell swoop depended on this general.

In fact, Wei Ou, who had calmed down compared to his initial anger, realized that this was an opportunity.Niumen, a group of horse thieves, robbed his and others' convoy. As long as he raised it at Xingtan, it would definitely become a topic of public opinion. If Wei Ou's connection and initiation, an army could be gathered to defeat these horse thieves. , Cooperating with Xingtan’s discussion, it will be a good opportunity to improve your reputation.

"Chen Zhi just left a message on the wall of the temple and a message in Wuyuan County, which caused quite a stir. I was even waiting behind to hear more about him, but his skills stopped at Therefore, if I can unite soldiers and horses, exterminate horse thieves, save friends, and promote righteousness, I will definitely overshadow Chen Zhi. In turn, Chen Zhi's previous famous actions will set off my series of alliances this time, which is equivalent to giving I made a stepping stone!”

Since he was involved with Chen Zhi again and again and was always used as a foil, Wei Ou was naturally targeting Chen Zhi in his heart. Even now, he was thinking about competing with Chen Zhi.

However, compared to Wei Ou's persistence, Sun Min and others were much more calm. Their focus was not on defeating the horse thief, but on Lieutenant General Yang Shuo himself.

"General Yang participated in the battle against Wang Mi?" Sun Min asked Yu Qi.

Yu Qi replied: "General Yang came to garrison afterwards and did not participate in the battle against Wang Mi." When he said this, he saw the disappointment on Sun Min's face and quickly added, "However, some of his troops , once had a decisive battle with Wang Mi."

"Oh? That's interesting. When you see him, you must ask him a few questions." Sun Min nodded, his eyes brightening.After saying a few words, he apologized to everyone and found a place to rest. After all, the night was already deep.

Wei Ou and others had no intention of sleeping, they were all waiting for the results to be released.

By daybreak, there were already signs of soldiers and horses gathering, and several groups of brave soldiers had arrived, followed by the servants of several aristocratic families.

Along with the servants, some figures from the aristocratic family arrived, asking Mingfa Monk and others if they had been injured in the attack by the horse thieves.

In this attack, except for the people who rushed out of the carriage in panic, everyone in the carriage was basically unscathed. On the contrary, many of the guards were injured.

When the servants of the aristocratic families gathered together, there were about 100 people, with 30 to [-] people from each family, and they were all riding horses.

By the time it was bright in the east, more than 200 people had gathered.

Looking at this momentum, Wei Ou couldn't be happy. He just kept asking: "When will General Yang come over?"

No one else can know when Yang Shuo will come. Officials in the local government can't control Yang Shuo, let alone dare to do it, and can only keep pushing away.

As a result, Wei Ou became more and more anxious.

Under this situation, the news about Yang Shuo finally came, but it was not his people who came, but...

"Let our people gather at the place he designated?" Wei Ou frowned when he heard that, but after thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal, and immediately passed it, mobilizing manpower to go to the designated place.

Yu Qi quickly ordered that the people who arrived here gather first and prepare to leave.

But even if such a seemingly simple command is conveyed, it will not be implemented for a long time——

This improvised group of people had never done any formation drills together, and they did not have a fixed station, not to mention that it was not qualified enough. The people present were from different backgrounds, so they often had to listen to their superiors first. They will only take action if the commander agrees to the order.

Seeing the slow and chaotic situation, Sun Min, who had just stood up, couldn't help but shake his head.

"This is a real mob. It is very difficult to bring such a team to the destination, let alone fight. I probably understand what General Yang Shuo meant. He just gave an order. Needless to say. What, this improvised team exposed a problem, and on the other hand, as soon as he issued an order, these soldiers and horses moved for it, which invisibly established his leadership position."

After hearing this, Xun Zhe couldn't help but nodded and said with a wry smile: "I'm really worried about whether the gathered troops can deal with those horse thieves."

"It's hard to say whether we can handle it or not, but with General Yang Shuo here, we probably won't suffer. After all, our guards can hold up the offensive, so it won't be too bad." Sun Min said, changing the subject, "Actually, What I am most curious about now is where the horse thieves have gone, and if they know their purpose, even a mob can set up an ambush in advance."
