This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 454 Farming
This is how the world is like, when they disagree with each other, they draw their swords to face each other.

Cao Su led the army through the city, pushing the originally quiet Youzhou Mansion to a new stage.

After the fun, people couldn't help but start to feel a little worried.

General Pingbei returned from victory, but the newly recruited general was assassinated before he reached the city lord's mansion.

Isn't this a provocation and contempt for General Pingbei?

In the city, the city lord's mansion of Youzhou.

Cao Jun, who arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, checked the inside and outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

In Youzhou these days, what Cao Su encountered the most were all kinds of assassinations, and he felt a little more vigilant in his heart.

"These Jianghu people know how to fight and kill if they don't do serious things."

Cao Su walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

The servants cleaned the City Lord's Mansion cleanly to welcome him.

The chivalrous use of martial arts to violate the ban, Cao Su stood on the court's standpoint, and in the daily indoctrination of the people below, a clear opposite direction was formed.

"The name of the deceased was found."

Not long after entering the City Lord's Mansion, Zhong Jin hurried over.

The fourth-rank martial artist who was beaten to death by Cao Su was not an unknown person in the rivers and lakes of Youzhou.

"It's the big outer disciple of the 'Qingyang Gate', named 'Yuan Tian'. A few years ago, Yuan Tian was an ignorant rogue in the prefectural city of Youzhou. Several years have passed. He has practiced first-class martial arts, and he is very talented."

Cao Su looked sideways: "How long has Yuan Tian practiced?"

"It is said that before and after, the practice of martial arts may have only been practiced for six or seven years."

"In six or seven years, from an ordinary warrior to the fourth rank of strength realm, it is indeed a talent."

Cao Su has been walking all the way, and he also knows how sad and difficult it is to practice.

Even though many people work hard, because of talent, opportunity, resources, environment and many other issues, they can't go further.

Cao Su asked in a deep voice, "Where is Qingyang Gate?"

"Qingyangmen is one of the major sects in Youzhou, and it is also in the north-central part of Youzhou. It just joined the Youbei League a few days ago."

Like Cao Su, Zhongjin always focused on the mighty "Youbei League" in Youzhou martial arts.

If it weren't for Cao Su's lack of food, he would have led the army to the Youbei League at this moment.

Now, I am deeply afraid of this seemingly private Jianghu organization, which has actually formed an integrated alliance that sticks to each other.

"It's the Youbei League again."

Cao Su gradually felt that the Youbei League was speeding up their actions.

"Yes, my lord must not be careless to You Beimeng."

Right now Cao Su is in the stage of recuperation. According to the arrangement of the court, his first task is to suppress bandits.

It was Li Xingxi who was suppressing the bandits across the two states, but Li Xingxi was too far away from him, and he had been active in Liaozhou during this time.

If Cao Su let go of Youzhou Mansion to fight in Liaozhou, once the Youbei League goes south, Cao Su's entire retreat will be controlled by others, and Cao Su will not be able to leave if he wants to.

To put it bluntly, Cao Su regarded the Youbei League as an enemy and didn't trust them at all.

Of course he wouldn't trust him, and the other party even sent someone to assassinate him, it would be good if he didn't kill them.

As for whether the Youbei League will really ignore the imperial court and rise up, there is a possibility now.

"Pay close attention to the development of the Youbei League, and report to me as soon as there is news."

Cao Su arranged important matters to Zhongjin, and Zhongjin solemnly accepted the order.

After arriving in Youzhou, all kinds of businesses are waiting to be flourished.

Intelligence work also needs someone to take care of it.

Cao Su suddenly felt that his manpower was not enough.
-
Cao Su pacified Tuxian Mountain.

Afterwards, Wu Ming brought the brochure of Tuxianzhai, including the land area, population and so on.

This debt book of Tu Xianshan made Cao Su read it carefully from front to back.

Cao Su personally presided over the administration, and arranged the relocation and settlement of the residents in Tuxian Village who were willing to go out of the mountains.

"Specially designated as an area to allow the residents of Tuxian Mountain to live in the city."

"If the residents in the village are not willing to leave their homeland with the head of the family, they can also buy a house in this area. Our Youzhou City is empty, and after you live in Youzhou City, you will be city residents from now on."

Cao Su began to sell land and household registration. I don't know where he learned the method.

The land was demarcated by him himself, and he found the area in the city that least needed large-scale construction and house demolition.

He found the workers himself, headed by several big families in the city, and Cao Su was responsible for sending people to supervise the work.

The last residential land was all sold, and part of the money received was given to the major families as wages, and the rest was paid before the government's tax, which was used for the march of Cao Su's army.

After arranging the accommodation, Cao Su greeted several village owners in the mountains.

The village owners headed by Luo Lao had a disagreement. Some people were willing to go down the mountain, but some people thought the scenery on the mountain was very good.

"Since you are willing to defect to me, Cao Su, it is naturally the best arrangement for you."

Cao Su directly praised Haikou.

It made many village owners smile.
-
A few days later, the roster of Tu Xianshan was returned to Cao Su.

Cao Su summoned Wu Ming and Li Li to discuss matters.

"On Tuxian Mountain, there are many fertile fields, which are the first-class granary in Youzhou Prefecture."

"Now it's the season of planting. My army is resting in the city. It doesn't need so many people to rest together."

Cao Su's army has been resting for more than a month.

Of the [-] forbidden troops, [-] are his direct descendants from Pingzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou, and [-] are the candidates for Yuwen's staff reduction plan.

Thirty thousand belongs to the elite, but it is not as resilient as Cao Su's.

Cao Su wanted to retrain his soldiers.

Wu Ming and Li Li actually had some idea of ​​Cao Su's idea long ago.

But the two of them still don't quite understand how to do it.

"The key to hoarding soldiers is finding fields and keeping fields."

Military fields are hard to find, especially in the turbulent Qianyuan Dynasty, the aristocratic families and powerful families have seriously annexed the land. If it weren't for the powerful people of Tuxian Mountain who took over the mountain as king and obtained a large amount of fertile land, the land in this mountain would definitely be taken by Youzhou Prefecture. Annexation of dignitaries and nobles.

But now, the fertile land in the mountains gave Cao Su the opportunity to hoard troops.

"I intend to send the two of you to Tuxian Mountain to implement the method of hoarding soldiers, and wait until the autumn moon to harvest food and grass for our army."

When he was sent out to farm, everyone said he was so tall, and the two subordinates clasped their fists one after another.

"Tuxian Mountain is high, and you can overlook Youzhou Mansion from a distance."

"Outside Youzhou Mansion, the soldiers stationed at Tuxian Mountain can be the cornerstone of Youzhou Mansion."

"In the past few months, the two of you have been farming in the mountains with peace of mind."

"This is the top priority, and nothing can go wrong."

Cao Su's expression was serious. Although he was farming, it was directly related to his next military plan. Therefore, the matter of Tu Xianshan's farming was Cao Su's first government affairs.

Wu Ming and Li Li, one literary and one military, represent Cao Su's right-hand men.

After seeing this, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent and slack, and quickly responded again.

"In the past few months, I will also come to investigate the grain planting matters at any time."

After Cao Su gave some final instructions, he discussed the specific planting plan with Wu Ming and Li Li.

In the entire Tuxian Mountain, the Luo family and the Li family are now willing to contribute their surplus fields. Cao Su brought tens of thousands of people there, and they are all young and middle-aged laborers, so they are not afraid of running out of land.

Wu Ming suggested: "It's best to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers for farming."

Cao Su nodded: "You're right. I'm going to make a reward and punishment assessment plan for you in the past two days. It's mainly for the soldiers who are good at farming and farming. I can give extra rewards, skills, weapons, etc. , Bank, promotion, will be involved in it."

As the new "Tuntian Captain", Li Li said: "It's better to set an overall goal first, and when all soldiers reach it, everyone can be rewarded."

Speaking of the assessment, these old friends who have been with Cao Su for a long time finally got the hang of it, knowing how to properly motivate their subordinates.

After listening to it, Cao Su also quite recognized it.

"My lord, then Tongfu City."

Tongfu City was one of the strategic goals that Cao Su had set long ago.

The geographical location of Tongfu City is very important. It is the bridgehead in front of the central mountain range. If Cao Su wants to completely stabilize the rear, he must take this city.

Unfortunately, this city seems to be closer to Youbei League. When Cao Su first came to Youzhou, he was short of food and grass, and had not yet settled down. Naturally, he was unwilling to start a war lightly, so he didn't go to provoke this city.

Just dispatched some special personnel to Tongfu City to inquire about the news.

Now that Tu Xianshan is in hand, the focus of the next work should be outside the Youzhou Mansion.

Cao Su understood what Li Li meant. This guy was still thinking about attacking Tongfu City.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get the military merits of attacking Tongfu City.

He laughed and scolded: "It's better to plant your field well than anything else. If you plant the land well, you can be the vanguard when you attack Tongfu City in the future."

Li Li was overjoyed upon hearing the words, and his spirits were doubly uplifted.
