Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 422 You can't have both fish and bear's paw (please subscribe!)
...

A long time ago, Li Yan began to strictly control the separation of the military and the government, and did not allow the military to intervene in politics.

That is to say, leading troops doesn't care about the affairs, and they are not allowed to lead troops when they are in charge.

Gradually, this became the iron law of the Shuibo Liangshan force—an iron law that everyone knows.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Ziyu arrived in Yingzhou City, Zhang Xian quickly handed over all civil and political affairs to Liu Ziyu, and he only cared about deploying defenses and dealing with the enemy.

After taking over Yingzhou City, Liu Ziyu and others immediately set out to restore order in Yingzhou City.

When the order in Yingzhou City was almost restored, Liu Ziyu and others built a public trial platform in front of the government office, and then set up a pole with the inscription "Shui Po Liangshan" and a pole with the inscription "For the sky" at the four corners of the public trial platform. Walking on the road", one letter "Li Yan, the governor of the Anton Governor's Mansion", and one letter "Li Yan, the Xuanfu envoy of Yunzhongfu Road" four banners.

Unlike in Shandong and Hebei, Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan have no foundation in Yanyun Land.

So, everything has to start all over again.

Of course, the current conditions of Shuibo Liangshan are no longer comparable to those of Shuibo Liangshan in the Dagang Village period.

Therefore, naturally, it doesn't have to be as strenuous as it was when it first opened.

After Liu Ziyu secretly investigated, he found some of the most heinous criminals, and then found some trustees.

As soon as Liu Ziyu's public trial started, there was an entrustment to beat drums and complain.

Liu Ziyu obeyed Li Yan's instructions, and was not soft on these people at all. They were all arrested and tried in the public trial platform, then beheaded, and then ransacked their homes.

After beheading more than a dozen people in a row, someone with a deep blood feud came out to take revenge.

Liu Ziyu sent someone to verify them one by one, and if they were true, they would be punished severely.

Public trials give those who have been unfairly treated an outlet and a chance to avenge their grievances.

Once this hole was torn open by Shuibo Liangshan, it was out of control.

After that, people's heads rolled, blood flowed into rivers...

But Shuibo Liangshan was not hated by the people because of this, on the contrary, it was recognized by many people.

By the way, Shuibo Liangshan also got a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, food and supplies.

This can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Of course, the public trial in Shuibo Liangshan is not harmless at all, as it will inevitably push the original powerful and wealthy class to its opposite.

But this is just like what Li Yan and Liu Ziyu said, Shuibo Liangshan cannot be accepted by all classes, you can’t have both, so you have to make a choice.

Since the establishment of Shuibo Liangshan, Li Yan has chosen to stand on the same front with the poor and the poor, and then create a new powerful class.

So, nothing to say, kill!

When all the government offices were covered in blood, the public trial was finally over, and those rich and powerful who had escaped the catastrophe finally slowly put back the hearts they had held in their throats.

At this time, Liu Ziyu threw out the second trump card of Shuibo Liangshan - food distribution.

Two shi grains per person, no matter men, women, old or young, Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Han people, as long as you are willing to come, as long as you are willing to ask, the grain will be distributed to you.

Two stones of grain is enough for a strong man with a big appetite to eat for more than half a year, and the old and weak children can even eat for a year or two.

In the past few years, although the land of Yanyun is not as frequent as the two banks of the Yellow River, the harvest is not very good because of the bad year. Therefore, each person can get two shi of grain, which is really helpful for the poor people. It was a great help for them, and it also made most people begin to accept the governor Li Yan and the regime of Shuibo Liangshan.

Shuibo Liangshan is no longer the grass-roots team it used to be. It has a large number of officials with rich experience in governing.

This time when Li Yan came to the land of Yanyun, he had no intention of leaving. Therefore, Li Yan specially transferred thousands of outstanding officials.

Coupled with the good policy of benefiting the people that Shuibo Liangshan has experimented in the four counties of Jeju, Lelang, Zhenfan, and Taiwan.

Liu Ziyu and others quickly gained a foothold in Yingzhou...

……

The West Route Army, the big account of the Chinese Army.

Han Shizhong said: "It's been more than half a month, and Shuozhou City hasn't been captured yet, don't you, Wu Jie, blush?"

Unlike the Eastern Route Army, which was as powerful as a broken bamboo, the West Route Army could not get through as soon as they arrived in Shuozhou City.

The reason why Li Yan chose Wu Jie and Yue Fei as the left and right pioneers was because the two most capable generals in the Southern Song Dynasty were Wu Jie and Yue Fei——Han Shizhong, Liu Kai, Wang Yan, Yang Yizhong, Wu Lin and others. He can also fight, but he can't compare with Wu Jie and Yue Fei in terms of record.

Moreover, unlike Yue Fei who just joined the army not long ago, Wu Jie is an old soldier with more than ten years of combat experience, more experienced than Li Yan's old brothers.

Therefore, Wu Jie was trapped under the city of Shuozhou, not because of Wu Jie's ability, but because he encountered difficult troubles.

What trouble?

Wu Jie met Chai Yi, a veteran of the Liao Kingdom.

Chai Yi was not originally left behind in Shuozhou, and he was not even an official of the Liao Kingdom.

But after all the officials in Shuozhou fled, Chai Yi stepped forward to take over Shuozhou, and then organized resistance.

It should be said that even with Chai Yi, Shuozhou City should not be able to stop Wu Jie's soldiers. After all, the Liangshan Army's offensive ability is basically unmatched in this era, and Wu Jie is outstanding among the Liangshan Army. The master of attack.

However, the problem is that Liang Shanjun has a weakness-the lack of Ma Jun.

Unlike Yelu Foding who resolutely confronted Yue Feijun, Yelu Mage ran away decisively after suffering a big loss from the bed crossbow.

Wu Jie only had three thousand cavalry from the left army of kidnappers, and he couldn't stop the Yelu horse army at all.

If Brother Yelu had just left, Shuozhou City would have been destroyed long ago.

But the sky didn't obey people's wishes, and Chai Yi quickly sent someone to find Yelu Mage back, and added 1 cavalry to Yelu Mage, bringing the number of cavalry in Yelu Mage's hands to more than [-] ( Seven or eight hundred were shot and killed by bed crossbows).

After that, the more than 1 horse troops did not fight Wu Jie head-on, but harassed Wu Jie around, making it impossible for Wu Jie to attack the city—as long as Wu Jie attacked the city, Brother Yelu Ma would lead the army to attack Wu Jie.

In this way, Wu Jie could not attack the city at all.

Therefore, it has not been able to capture Shuozhou City.

Moreover, because of the harassment of more than 1 horse troops, Wu Jie still has no way to go deep—once the supply line is cut off by Brother Yelu Ma, if he goes deep, he will be defeated sooner or later.

Not only Wu Jie and the others were trapped in Shuozhou City, but even Han Shizhong couldn't get through, because Han Shizhong's army also had to face the harassment and threats of the more than 1 horse troops.

Wu Jie was blushed and blushed by what Han Shizhong said, and said: "You don't need Han Shizhong to teach Wu Jie how to fight... If you don't destroy Shuozhou City today, I, Wu Jie, will apologise with death!"

Seeing that Wu Jie had said such harsh words, Han Shizhong could only keep his mouth shut.

Wu Jie looked at Han Shizhong, Liu Kai, Lu Junyi, Chen Liqing and others to confirm: "You are all subject to my restraint, right?"

Liu Kai said: "You are the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, so we are naturally controlled by you."

Lu Junyi also said: "You can tell how to fight this battle."

Chen Liqing said: "Yes, just tell me how to fight."

Wu Jie didn't immediately say how to fight this battle, but first went to Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, and Qiongying to pay homage: "Young general, I beg your wives to hand over the command of the Xie Fan Ma army to General Yao Xing, and we will be in the middle." command."

Chen Liqing said in displeasure: "Do you think that the three of us are girls, so we can't fight? I have killed hundreds of enemies in my life, which should be no less than any of you. My two sisters are also battle-tested fighters. People, why can’t they go to the battlefield?”

Wu Jie had heard about the achievements of Chen Liqing and the three of them, but he still didn't dare to let these three aunts go to the battlefield - what a joke, if any of the three aunts had a good or bad situation, he, Wu Jie, would die Forgive me, and besides, if these three aunts really went to the battlefield, they might become the weak point of the Women's Army or even the entire West Route Army.

Therefore, Wu Jie gritted his teeth and said: "Since the wives are also under the control of the young general, then please give the command of the Xiefan Majun to General Yao Xing. Afterwards, the young general will go to the governor to receive the punishment!"

Not only Chen Liqing was angry, but Hu Sanniang and Qiongying were also very angry, "We are not bad at martial arts, why can't we go to the battlefield?"

No matter what Hu Sanniang and Qiongying said, Wu Jie just kept silent and said to Chen Liqing and the others in silence: "I will never let the three ladies go to the battlefield."

Seeing Wu Jie's resolute attitude, Chen Liqing rolled her eyes, and said, "It's okay for us to keep 500 people to protect our own safety and give Yao Xing 500 people, right?"

Where did Wu Jie dare to object again, he hurriedly said: "Of course there is no problem!"
