The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25 Horse Bandit Demonstration
In addition to manpower, the reconstruction of the county government still requires a lot of expenses, but Wei Tao can still afford such expenses.

"As an official, I spend nothing but expenses, but I don't know what is the purpose of being an official?"

Another sum of money was paid, Wei Tao couldn't help but smiled wryly at himself, and then his face became serious again.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think the people of Mayi are thugs?"

"My lord, do you mean the Mayi Hao family?"

Zhang Liao also knew the power of the powerful clan, otherwise how could there have been "Mayi Rebellion" in the first place?
"However, after such a thing, there should be no more Mayi Hao clan? If it is true, I am afraid that it should be the Xiongnu and horse bandits who came later."

I have to say that Zhang Liao is indeed a famous general, and Wei Tao is a little bit, he just understood what Wei Tao meant.

The reason why the troublemakers are troublemakers is naturally because the Xiongnu and horse bandits put pressure on them, but this is just a temptation.

The construction of the county government was very fast, and Wei Tao didn't really want to confront the common people when he was new here, as long as he didn't need the common people, it was fine, Wei Tao still had money to buy food supplies.

In just three days, the county government was established for the first time, and because of Wei Tao's actions, the common people did not feel the tension and confrontation that they had when they first came.

And after three days, Wei Tao also had a clear understanding of the basic situation of Mayi.

There are no nobles in Mayi.

Today's Mayi is basically under the rule of the Xiongnu and the horse bandits. The reason why the people say they are stable is that both the Xiongnu and the horse bandits know that they can't exhaust their resources.

To be honest, although the people live very hard, they can barely survive.

No one knows what will happen if the Han officials come, so one person is so resistant.

The troublemaker does not mean that these people dare to rebel against the government, but that the people will not cooperate and resist secretly.

Although the relationship has eased, Wei Tao does not believe that this can convince the people.

After three days of repairs, the current county government also looks a little bit better, but Wei Tao understands that this place is different from the Central Plains.

I am afraid that things like the Central Plains lawsuit are no longer visible here. This county government is more used for the sergeants he leads to garrison and rest.

Sitting high above the yamen hall alone, Wei Tao kept thinking in his heart, as for Zhang Liao and Wang He each received errands.

What Wei Tao thought about was naturally how to deal with this matter in Mayi.

"The Xiongnu, the horse bandits, and the unruly people, the three tribulations are eliminated!"

After a few days, Wei Tao thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't figure it out. Wei Tao deeply felt that there was indeed a lack of someone beside him who could advise him.

Today's Zhang Liao is reluctant to lead the army alone, let alone let him make suggestions.

"Snatch!"

Just as Wei Tao was thinking, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.

After a while, he saw a guard running in, and Wei Tao immediately gave an order.

"what happened?"

"My lord, just now another arrow was shot from nowhere, and it hit the middle of the plaque of the county government office. There seems to be a piece of cloth on the arrow. Please decide it!"

While speaking, he offered the arrow with both hands.

Wei Tao's face had turned ashen. Although it was not noon, the sky outside was still bright. The other party was so rampant, obviously he didn't take himself seriously!
"Have you ever seen who shot this arrow!"

Taking a closer look, Wei Tao found that this arrow was a wolf-toothed arrow, but it had the posture of a Hun, but the arrow branch was quite long, the feathers were neatly trimmed, and the tip of the arrow was sharp. Can't be made.

"My lord, the arrow came from a distance, and Master Zhang had already led people to chase it there."

Hearing the guard's report, Wei Tao nodded, and then carefully looked at the arrow. As for the cloth, Wei Tao didn't care about it at all.

After a while, Zhang Liao came back, still holding a half-human bow in his hand.

"My lord, the thieves shot arrows from two hundred paces away, and they left with one hit. When we arrived, the building was already empty, but we just found this pair of longbows. It seems that the other party is really prepared."

After taking the longbow, Wei Tao casually pulled on the bowstring, but saw that the bowstring was only slightly bent.

"Good bow!"

Although it wasn't real luck, Wei Tao thought to himself that he used at least [-]% of his strength just now, and he might not even be able to use this bow.

"Even if such bows and arrows are in the Central Plains, they must be made by skilled craftsmen, not to mention such a dangerous frontier, the value of such bows and arrows must be more than ten times. Wen Yuan, who do you think would use such a skill to make such a bow?" Protest?"

"This kind of fine bow, even if it is made by a skilled craftsman, it will take a lot of effort to make it. It must be a wealthy family to be so prestigious..."

Zhang Liao also knew the current situation in Mayi, but he didn't talk about it anymore.

"Your Excellency, you should open this cloth and take a look, even if it is the arrogant words, you can see the slightest clue."

"Ok!"

Wei Tao nodded, untied the cloth, and unfolded it.

"The word orders Mayi county captain, and you are limited to get out of Mayi within three days. If not, after three days, I will wash Mayi with blood, and no grass will be left at that time! Such a good bow can be given to the county captain. I hope the county captain will return the gift."

"What an arrogant person!"

Its characters are written in blood, if it were an ordinary person, seeing such a blood book would definitely take away his heart.

However, Wei Tao also went through battles, so how could this matter scare him?

"My lord, the other party is confident. Although this bow is good, we have no arrows. As for the 'return', the other party is probably focusing on the armor in our hands."

You must know that the Wei family is a big family and is engaged in business. As for the Zhang family, although it has declined, it still has some background.

Therefore, among the many soldiers led by Wei Tao, except for the slightly poorer equipment of the soldiers under the Bingzhou military system, everyone else is well-equipped.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Wei Tao's eyes revealed a chill.

"The mere horse bandits are also scholars who set up a war letter. Do you really think that we are incompetent?"

"My lord's words are very true, but the horse bandits have to be cautious. It would be fine if they were in the early years. Those horse bandits did not belong to each other, and they were dirty with each other. But in recent years, some horse bandits have formed One family, called Gust of Wind, even the Huns dare not take it seriously."

Although Zhang Liao agreed with Wei Tao's words, he was still cautious.

"It is said that there are already nearly a dozen horse bandits. They do not work on weekdays, but rely on plundering for support. Although the discipline is not good, it is probably no less than an ordinary army."

Hearing Zhang Liao's eloquence, Wei Tao couldn't help but nodded slightly. What Zhang Liao said was exactly what Wei Tao thought.

"Nowadays the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there are more internal worries. They are constantly being monitored by many small guards. The method of ambush is even more unacceptable. How should we deal with it?"

Although Wei Tao's subordinates are well-equipped, they are less than a hundred people. What's more, they have not gone through many battles and slaughtered, so their martial arts are higher, but they are really not sure of winning against the mounted bandits.

What's more, the horse bandit, the horse bandit, of course, the horse bandit is the horse bandit.

In other words, the horse bandits are all cavalry, and it is a big disadvantage to use infantry to deal with cavalry.

What's more, both Wei Tao and Zhang Liao have experienced the battle of raiding the Huns, so wait a minute. The unstoppable momentum of thousands of riders is like a sea tide, so how can you not know its strength?

"My lord, the horse bandits are arrogant and arrogant. In addition, they still want to feed on Mayi. The slaughter of Mayi must be untrue. Under such circumstances, it is bound to be a small group attack. If it is a real battle, it may not be invincible."

"Why does Wenyuan deceive himself so much? Don't say that the city of Mayi is dilapidated and there is no danger to defend. Even cavalry can easily attack the city. Even if we win the vanguard, the rest of the horse bandits will be alarmed, so we not only If you want to win, you have to win lightly and win big! Try not to lose a single soldier."

Wei Tao saw it more clearly than Zhang Liao, so he just shook his head.

"If not, ask General Gao for help? There are thousands of horse bandits wandering outside Yanmen Pass, and they are all cavalry. A pincer attack is sure to be victorious, and then a forced attack will be able to remove this hidden danger."

The more Zhang Liao talked, the more excited he became.

Unfortunately, Wei Tao shook his head at this time.

"Wen Yuan's thinking is not bad, but Wen Yuan has thought about it. Although there is a distance from Yanmen Pass, it is not far away. Why did the horse bandit 'Gust of Wind' still give us three days? But it is Monitor us all the time, and even want to help with points."

Although Zhang Liao has the qualifications of a famous general, but limited by his experience, he is still far inferior. Hearing what Wei Tao said, his face turned red immediately.

He really hadn't thought of that.

"General Gao's new occupation of Yanmen Pass is to strictly investigate the merchants. It is also extremely harmful to the 'gust of wind'. It must be to deter General Gao. At the same time, doing so is also testing whether we are General Gao. bait."

Although Wei Tao and Zhang Liao are similar in age, not to mention that Wei Tao has more life experience, his knowledge is not comparable to that of Zhang Liao.

"Hehe... what the young master said is very true."

At this time, Wang He, who had been waiting quietly at the side, opened his mouth. After hearing Wei Tao's words, Wang He also had a little more confidence.

"However, wouldn't it be possible to follow the plan?"

"Oh? What does Uncle Wang mean?"

Although Wang He was not a strategist, he had traveled extensively and experienced a lot, and he had never seen any dangers before.

"Although it is said that the mayi is dilapidated, there must still be old folks in it. Since the matter is unresolved now, why not invite the old folks?"

Hearing Wang He's words, after Wei Tao thought about it for a while, he felt a little caressing in his heart.

"Okay, just follow Uncle Wang's words."
