Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 453 Yuyuan Rebels
On the second day, Zhao Zhen took Ji Qingwan and four others, along with a team of soldiers, and rushed to Lvliu Township.

The steward Zhuang Kun welcomed Zhao Zhen and others into the mansion and served them tea. Zhuang Kun said, "Please wait a moment, the master has gone to the misty world. I have sent someone to invite him back."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Zhuang Kun, "Manager Zhuang, please go and do your work. I will wait here."

After a while, Gao Hu pushed the door open and came in, saying to Zhao Zhen, "Son-in-law, have you settled all the people there?"

"With Madam Lu's comfort, the people are relatively stable. We also have some experience in the fantasy world, so there is no need to worry about any trouble. Where is Brother Gao Yuan?"

"Gao Yuan left the people with me, and he has already gone to the inner city. I guess the clan will prepare a village for him and let him take charge of it." Gao Hu said.

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "Brother Gao Yuan's starting point is something that many people cannot reach in their lifetime. In this case, Brother Gao Yuan can also go to the border early."

Gao Hu said, "How can it be so easy? My Green Willow Township was newly established not long ago, and I was given this position. I don't know how the clan will make the arrangements. Although there are many opportunities, there are also many competitions."

"Let's not talk about that. On my way back, I saw someone selling brown bears. I bought four bear paws and asked the chef to prepare them. Today, I'm having a drink with my brother to celebrate our successful return."

Zhao Zhen said: "It seems that I will have a good meal today."

Ji Minghan pointed at the Tiger-striped General at Gao Hu's feet and said, "Brother, what level is the Tiger-striped General now?"

Gao Hu leaned over and touched [General Tiger Stripe], saying, "Level 2, Level 5. Why are you asking this?"

"Didn't my husband bring a cub home? It's quite big now, but there's no sign of it entering the next level. How about the ones in your family?"

Gao Hu smiled and said, "This is General Tiger's first time giving birth, and there are only four puppies. One was given to Huang Yang, one was taken away by Gao Yuan, and the other was taken away by Ji Lingyan. As far as I know, not only your puppies, but the other three have never been promoted. I don't know when General Tiger got pregnant, and I don't know whose dog it is. Fortunately, these dogs have inherited General Tiger's physique. If they are raised slowly, maybe they can also be promoted."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "Brother, there is an advanced mastiff in my fantasy world. If [General Tiger Stripe] is in heat again, maybe they can be a match."

Gao Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. "Since General Tiger gave birth last time, I have asked people to find out who has a male dog that has been bred. Although there are many, I have never found a mastiff. Since you have a mastiff, why not take it out and put it with me so that he can get acquainted with General Tiger."

Ji Qingwan said: "Brother, my husband has two mastiffs, one male and one female. If you take one out, the other one will be left alone."

Gao Hu heard this and said enviously, "Brother, you have such great luck. No one else can compare to you."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "After all, no one has ever searched the fantasy world, so it's natural to find some good things. When the cubs are born, I want half of them."

Gao Hu waved his hand, "The one who gave birth to the cubs was General Tiger, so naturally I want more, four or six."

Zhao Zhen said, "I'll provide the food, fifty-fifty."

Seeing the two arguing, Ji Xuan smiled and said, "How about this, if it's an odd number, brother, take one more, if it's an even number, you two can split it equally. The first puppy, brother will pick it first, and then it's up to fate."

After hearing this, Gao Hu and Zhao Zhen looked at each other and said with a smile, "Let's do it this way."

After laughing, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother, I have another question. If I reach the third level, will this Bailiu Village be inherited by my brother?" Gao Hu was stunned for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Brother, are you going to reach the third level?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "It won't be that fast. We just need to plan ahead."

"To be honest, the land deeds of Bailiu Village are in your hands, so naturally your brother can inherit it. However, after you go to the border for a long time, I am afraid your brother may not be able to keep it."

"After all, Gao State is so small that there will inevitably be people who want to disturb it, and coercion and inducement are inevitable. If there is something to be inherited, the family will have a steady stream of talented people to develop. In this way, everyone will be cautious and can keep it going." Gao Hu said.

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded, "Then I have an idea."

Gao Hu said, "Brother, Gao Country is not a big place, there is no need to linger so much. It is more important to reach the third level as soon as possible and go to the border. When I founded Bailiu Village, I got a great bargain. In addition, you have awakened well in the fantasy world and married into the royal family, so no one comes to disturb you. If not, how can you stay in the fantasy world for a long time with peace of mind?"

Zhao Zhen said, "My brother is taking care of everything. Bailiu Village doesn't have many official affairs every year. Qingwan can just handle them occasionally."

Gao Hu said, "It's just collecting two taxes, how big a deal can it be. By the way, brother, I also have something to ask you."

Zhao Zhen said, "Brother, just ask."

"Brother, do you have a way to wipe out the rebels in my foggy world?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, the Yulinyuan rebels are hiding in Yulin. There are tunnels all over the ground. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If they want to wipe them out, I don't have any good way."

"Brother, have you tried to persuade them to surrender?"

Gao Hu said, "Why haven't we tried? We sent three groups of people, but they were driven back outside Yulin. If these people stayed in Yulin, the Huang Yang brothers wouldn't have to stay in the city and not dare to leave easily. This group of people sometimes sneak into the city at night, steal salt and other things, and occasionally attack caravans. They are like loaches, annoying people."

"Is there anyone in the city secretly communicating with the rebels?"

"I think there are some, but these people are very cautious, so how can we tell?" Gao Hu thought for a while and said.

Zhao Zhen said: "The rebels are hiding in the tunnels. If we can find the tunnels, we can fumigate and poison them. Or we can pour water into their holes, and maybe we can force them to the surface. Once they are on the surface, this group of rebels will be no match for you, brother."

Gao Hu said: "The difficulty lies here. This group of people have already connected the tunnels and released poisonous smoke, so they covered it with soil. The amount of water is not enough to fill the tunnels, so there is naturally no way to force them to show up."

Ji Qingwan said: "Since they are hiding in Yulin, why don't you set fire to the forest in winter? We don't want to drive the rebels out, but just burn down Yulin. Without Yulin to hide, the rebels will have no cover when they come out of the tunnel."

"We've tried it. There are many elm trees that are as thick as a man's embrace. The most we can do by setting fire is burn the dry grass and shrubs on the ground. It won't cause much damage to the elm forest." Gao Hu said with a wry smile.

Zhao Zhen said, "When I return to the fantasy world, I will consult with the military advisor and perhaps there will be a solution. There is no other solution at the moment. Brother, why don't you arrange soldiers to protect the farmers and cut down as many trees as possible along the edge of the elm forest to reduce the size of the elm forest. Although it will take a long time to take effect, it is still a solution. Besides, the cut elm trees can also be sold for money."
