This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 207
Wu Anbang suddenly felt restless.

Felt a lot of malicious stares.

The one who bore the brunt was Cao Su's cold gaze like a cold knife, Wu Anbang's heart jumped wildly, he was tongue-tied, and after a while he uttered a sentence: "My lord, you must be severely punished, and the Wu family fully supports you in severely punishing these villains who disregard the laws of the country and the safety of Yuncheng! "

He wondered in his heart, who is so outrageous, who is still making money all this time, is he really desperate?
Before that, there were many families in the city who did sell grain and meat to Gu Yue.

In addition to selling grain and meat, he also resold cotton, leather, logs, etc., all doing serious business, but the objects of the business were not very serious.

This Wanping army is a rebel, and doing business with the rebels, isn't that just capitalizing on the enemy?
The imperial court had already issued a decree prohibiting business in rebellious areas, but the effect was mediocre.

The main reason is that those who do business are looking for wealth and insurance. The more rebellious the area, the higher the price of these goods and the more profitable it is.

Cao Su snorted coldly and put down his wine glass.

"Don't say that I, Mr. Cao, don't show mercy, even if this kind of thing is delayed for a few days?"

"Businessmen have to pay attention to 'righteousness' to make money. If they really ruin the court's plans for a few boards in their pockets, then they are not only villains, but also national thieves."

"Do you know what a national thief is?"

"If you don't care about the honor and disgrace of the king, if you don't care about the pity of the country, you are called a thief of the country."

After Cao Su finished speaking, the whole restaurant immediately fell silent, and everyone dared not take a breath, the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

Many patriarchs lowered their heads, fearing that Cao Su would name them and suddenly become national thieves.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something coming, so Cao Su scanned around again, but still focused on Wu Anbang.

Wu Anbang calmed down, and said frankly: "My lord, if the country's thieves are not eliminated, Yuncheng will not be safe for a day."

"well said!"

Hearing this, Cao Su smiled and took the lead in applauding.

Seeing Cao Su smile, everyone let out a sigh of relief just now, and then showed a stiff smile.

Cao Su leaned forward slightly, and a huge sense of oppression hit him again.

"Then how should we get rid of the thieves?"

He asked the many families under his seat.

Wu Anbang said solemnly: "Find out this national thief and bring him to justice!"

Now these families also jumped out, adhering to the idea of ​​"dead friends don't die poor people" and echoed: "That's right, find out, who should be beheaded and who should be ransacked, the adults have the final say."

"The adults have the final say!"

Everyone responded one after another, converging into the same voice.

The same city, the same voice, this is what Cao Su wanted.

He said with a smile: "Since everyone supports me so much, I will just say it straight."

"From now on, the original city gate order will be invalidated. My warrant is required to enter and exit the city gate. Without my warrant, no caravan or residents are allowed to leave Yuncheng without permission. I will not proceed until I find out who is the thief in it." Let go of the gate order."

Cao Su wants to block Yuncheng?
Yuncheng has been closed several times before, and the residents of Yuncheng are quite resistant to the closure of the city.

But this time, Cao Su did not close the city, but strictly controlled the entry and exit of the city.

According to reason, as the controller of Yuncheng, it is reasonable for him to directly block and control.

But he chose to communicate with these actual power holders first, forcing them to stand on the wrong side, without any reason to object.

The family heads in the hall were all in an uproar, discussing in low voices.

After a long time, Wu Anbang, the head of the family, clasped his fists loudly: "The whole Wu family is willing to listen to the arrangement of the adults. Without the orders of the adults, they will never leave the city."

The Wu family's statement represented the end of the "Hongmen Banquet".

Cao Su stepped forward, held Wu Anbang's arm, and said with a smile, "Patriarch Wu is sincere to the court, and the court will never forget you."

Wu Anbang quickly thanked: "It is an honor for my generation to be able to share the worries of the imperial court."

He lifted Wu Anbang up, showing a harmonious picture of his subjects.

Many patriarchs in the audience were stunned, secretly guessing that the Wu family and the rebellious army might have reached some dirty deal behind the scenes.

Cao Su laughed and said: "Since everyone agrees that this is a good move, starting tomorrow, Yuncheng will be under martial law according to this law. Anyone who jumps out to oppose it may be a dirty businessman who secretly trades with the Wanping Army , then stop blaming me for being merciless!"

The few patriarchs who had just thought of something to say against Cao Su immediately retracted their words in fright. Cao Su's high hat is too high, who dares to say no at this time?
Everyone had no choice but to lower their heads and respond in silence.

"Since everyone agrees, let's leave, Master Wu stay."

Wu Anbang immediately took back the steps he had just stepped out, with a little embarrassment on his face.

Countless looks of doubt, anger, and contempt came from behind.

He secretly groaned, the young man Cao Su is really much stronger than the rough guy Hu Rong, he obviously didn't do anything, but he kept passing on the false impression that their Wu family had something to do with Cao Su to the outside world.

All kinds of special care are obviously putting the Wu family on fire.

But he couldn't say anything about Cao Su. He thought that after returning, he must first stabilize a few families that had good relations with the Wu family, so that the Wu family could not be completely isolated in Yuncheng.

The eyes behind him gradually receded, which indicated that many families had left the restaurant.

Cao Su walked up to Wu Anbang and poured Wu Anbang a glass of wine.

"Master Wu."

Cao Su said with a smile: "Now Yuncheng is in ruins, and our rebellious army is a rough man who only knows how to fight. We can fight wars, but managing the city is not my specialty. Thanks to the help of the Wu family, it is in order and there are no mistakes. .”

Now that Wu Anbang heard Cao Su say such compliments, he felt dizzy.

Hastily waved his hands and said: "My lord is too famous. My lord can protect the country with culture, and can fight against rebellion with martial arts. He is indeed a famous general of a generation."

Cao Su was not in a hurry to speak, and waited for Wu Anbang to finish his flattery.

He returned to the main seat and looked at Wu Anbang with a smile.

The old man was flustered by him, and he said quickly: "I don't know where else I can help you? This old man will definitely do his best."

"It's not a big deal, but I heard that the Wu family is a well-known scholarly family in the local area, and my ancestors also had six doctors. I wonder if I can lend me two scholars who are scholars to help me deal with the important affairs of Yuncheng."

What, a borrower?

What is this for?
Is it really to solve some important government affairs in Yuncheng?

Eyeing on a few study seedlings of their samurai family
Wu Anbang was stunned and didn't dare to reject Cao Su on the spot.

When I came out of the restaurant, I was dizzy.

In a few days, Cao Su recruited Hu Rong's elite soldiers.

Get rid of the old and weak, leaving the blood warriors and some strong sergeants.

Cao Su was promoted to become a general of a thousand men, and he could have a headquarters of about a thousand men under his command.

But in actual war, it is normal to exceed or fall below this figure.

In the end, the number of elite soldiers under his command reached more than [-] people, and the remaining hundreds were selected and left for Yuncheng to serve as the government army.

An army of 800 people is beyond the rated establishment.

Except for the former veterans, Cao Su was actually registered in the roster, and all of them were based on their high skills.

The stronger the skills, the sooner they will enter the main force, and the rest will be assigned to the second echelon first.

For these 800 people, Cao Su practiced hard for several days, reorganized the troops after breaking up, and gradually attracted them all into the team, forming a whole.

At the same time, Wang Meng from the south sent him new news.

Sure enough, Gu Yue City was disturbed by him, Bai Cai Gu Bo relied on tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and decided to divide [-] troops to attack him.

In the past few days, the grain and grass soldiers in the ancient Yue city have been frequently mobilized, and they may rush out at any time and head north.

Ten thousand elite soldiers are enough to take down Yuncheng.

The city of Yuncheng is not high, and it is far worse than Pingcheng. Before that, Hu Rong only used 5000 elite troops from his headquarters to take Yuncheng, and then recruited troops in Yuncheng, expanding his troops to more than [-].

For Gu Yue, Yuncheng cannot be lost, once Yuncheng is lost, there will be no barrier to the north.

Gu Yue was directly exposed under the eyes of the imperial court. If Yuncheng stood guard in the north, Gu Yuecheng could be given enough time to react.

Cao Su didn't know who would lead the troops, Bai Cai or Gu Bo, but no matter who led the troops, he was the same, and he would respond to all changes with the same.

As long as Yuncheng is defended, Wang Meng will have the opportunity to make even bigger waves in Gu Yue, thereby affecting the overall situation of the battle.

This is an advanced version of the plan he and Wang Meng made earlier. The original idea was that Cao Su would interfere with Gu Yue's sight, thereby creating opportunities for Wang Meng to fish in troubled waters.

Now Cao Su can not only interfere with Gu Yue's sight, but also directly become a trouble in Gu Yue's heart, and his attractiveness is doubled.

Wang Meng also saw more possibilities than containment.
