Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 605: Xu Laosan: Either the name will remain in the history, or the stigma will last forever
Xiangyi House, Linyao City.
Xu Laosan sits here instead of Mr. Xu. Although he is not the prefect appointed by the imperial court, as Mr. Xu's spokesman, Mr. Xu is actually the prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture.
Originally, because of Mr. Xu's disappointment with the imperial court and the emperor, Mr. Xu was not prepared to continue the imperial examinations, and naturally it was impossible for him to pursue a career as an official.
But who would have thought that the changes in this world are truly incredible.
As the uncrowned prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, Mr. Xu has also controlled the gangs on the streets of Linyao City. It can be said that they are both black and white, and they are all his people.
When a locust plague broke out in Qiping Mansion and the people were struggling, Song Dahu took the opportunity to rise up, and Mr. Xu received the news.
For the plague of locusts, manpower is hard to resist, and we can only wait for these locusts to die by themselves.
This is something that no one has been able to resist for hundreds of years. Once the plague of locusts comes, the only thing people can do is to watch their crops devoured by these worms, and then drag their families and family to flee to another country.
However, Mr. Xu doesn't believe in evil.
After knowing the news that the locust plague was coming to Xiangyi Prefecture, Mr. Xu forced the recruitment of the town troops that Xiangyi Prefecture could recruit, and then mobilized young men and started to do things.
He had people transferred from the border area between Qiping and Xiangyi, and all of them moved out. Then, cut down trees, cut off all the crops in the fields, and pile them up in the field.
Such a move really made the people scold.
However, Mr. Xu doesn't care.
The plague of locusts must be stopped.
If the plague of locusts cannot be stopped, not only will Xiangyi Mansion be finished, Qifeng Mansion, Donglin Mansion, and even half of the Tang Dynasty may be devoured by these **** bugs.
At that time, the northern barbarians will go south, and they will be powerless to resist.
"Third brother, according to your instructions, there is no one left within a hundred miles!"
Li Gan led someone to appear in front of Mr. Xu, with an unusually dignified expression.
Originally, he was arranged by Mr. Xu and the others to Kun County to assist Zuoqiu in controlling Kun County. And Kun County was also the retreat that Mr. Xu and the others prepared for them at the beginning.
But as Emperor Yongping handed over the seat of the prefect of Xiangyi Mansion to Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu naturally adjusted his plans.
After Xu Laosan sat in Linyao City, Li Gan was called over to help Xu Lao Er to control Xiangyi Mansion. As for Kun County, it is still handed over to Zuoqiu. At the same time, Zuoqiu has to be responsible for getting enough rice from all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Originally encountered an unprecedented cold spring, so that Xiangyi Prefecture could only reap two crops for two seasons. Therefore, the food shortage in Xiangyi Prefecture is destined to be large.
Therefore, it is necessary to have enough rice grains.
And this matter, someone has to secretly take action, and naturally, it falls on Zuo Qiu.
On the side of Xiangyi Mansion, Mr. Xu was also ruthless. The people in the depths of hundreds of miles migrated because they were going to come out of the fortress and clear the wilderness.
Fortified walls and clear fields, it is often a battle between two armies. When one side cannot win the battle, it will only choose the method of strategic retreat.
Now, Mr. Xu is going to use the same method to clean up the overwhelming locusts.
"Fourth, do you think I'm going too far?"
Noticing Li Gan's expression, Mr. Xu blinked, "Actually, I can't help it!"
"The plague of locusts must be stopped. If it can't be stopped, no one will survive. So, no matter what, you have to give it a try. If it succeeds, I will save everyone and make a name for itself. If it fails, I will save everyone. , it's just a stench, it's no big deal!"
"Being a human being, either, you will be famous in history, or you will be infamous for thousands of years!"
"If you come to this world for a trip, you can't leave a little bit of movement, right?"
"The geese will leave their voices, and the people will leave their names!"
"Third brother, I don't think you're too much, I'm just worried, will this recipe work?"
Li Gan sighed, "If the locust plague is so easy to eradicate, why didn't so many people do it before?"
Xu Laosan laughed and said, "Because they are all worried about their reputation!"
The more senior this person is, the more he cares about his reputation.
Especially the big men in the courtroom, one by one, don't mention how much they cherish their feathers!
Of course, those corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and villains, they don't care about their reputation, and naturally they don't care whether the people have something to eat and whether they can survive.
A good official, he cherishes his reputation and does not dare to do anything casually.
Ning Chen, who doesn't care about his reputation, also doesn't care about the people, so he doesn't think about these issues.
"Fourth, when the locusts come, let people set fire!"
The place of 100 miles was isolated for one purpose, that is, to burn all these locusts to death.
The locusts can fly, but the distance of a hundred miles is not something these little things can fly.
"Don't worry, I've been watching!"
The one-hundred-mile quarantine zone, according to Xu Laosan's request, is ten miles as a boundary. Xu Laosan didn't know if he wanted to set the Baili area on fire, but he was well prepared. After all, before him, there was no such a big fire.
In Qiping Mansion, the number of chaotic people wrapped by Song Dahu has exceeded 500,000, and this number is still increasing. And in front of the army of refugees is the army of locusts covering the sky and the sun.
Song Dahu is also a ruthless man. At first, he was just playing a little trouble. As the number of people under his command increased, his ambition naturally expanded.
The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Taizu Emperor, also rose from the grass, and now he feels that he may also be able to create a dynasty. Even, he felt that he was more powerful than the founding emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. After all, Emperor Taizu, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, was able to rise because of the perverse actions of the previous dynasty.
And now in the Tang Dynasty, the world is much more peaceful.
If he can take over the world under such circumstances, establish a dynasty, and become the founding father of the country, then who can compare with him?
However, although his subordinates are now strong and strong, and food and grass are provided by the people from the Dao of Jie Fortune, Song Dahu has not swelled to the point of forgetting his identity.
There are indeed many people under him. Although he claims to be elite, he only claims that he is actually a group of rabble.
Xiangyi House is different from other places. There are Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu's family.
Especially for Uncle Yong Wu, Huang Fengkou battled and even beheaded the two little princes of Beiman. In the end, the king of Beiman was captured alive by Uncle Yongwu. Such a fierce general, he does not think that he can win with the rabble under his hand, so, this matter must be calculated carefully, at least, he can't just slammed into it so stupidly.
"Master, do you have any ideas?"
In the temporary camp of the refugee army, Song Dahu looked at the first military division under his command.
Bai Jin is an old talent who has tried many times, but this one has always felt that he was just underappreciated. Later, in order to convince the people around him that he was underappreciated, people made up a lot of claims, such as the unfairness of the scientific examination, for example, that he had been plotted against himself,
And with Bai Jin's various publicity, this time-tested old talent is really famous.
And then, Bai Jin simply lived in a hut in the mountains, acting like an underappreciated hermit.
Over time, he was really regarded as a master of the world.
When Song fought a tiger uprising, he led the chaotic people all the way to the east. In order to achieve the emperor's hegemony, he was thirsty for talents. After hearing the name of Bai Jin, he decisively led people up the mountain and asked Bai Jin to come out.
Who is Bai Jin?
He is incompetent, and an old scholar who can't even pass the exam, after Song Dahu brought people here, he almost freaked out. But after pretending to be an expert for many years, he still persevered.
However, in order to increase his worth, Bai Jin did not immediately follow Song Dahu out of the mountain, but waited for Song Dahu to invite him three times before he came out of the mountain and became the first military division in front of Song Dahu's tent.
Originally, Bai Jin, who has no ability, will soon reveal his secrets. But this person's luck was not bad. He suggested to Song Dahu several times, but all of them made mistakes, so that Song Dahu finally got the benefits of the boss.
As a result, Song Dahu felt more and more that Bai Jin was a real hermit master, and respected him more and more.
In this life, nothing is important, the most important thing is to have self-knowledge.
People, you know yourselves!
From the beginning of Song Dahu's rise, it can be said that the journey has been smooth, so that he floated, and felt that he could also be the founding father of the country.
Similarly, Bai Jin gave Song Dahu several good ideas one after another, and after showing some talent, he actually felt that he was really talented and could be the founder of the country.
The most coincidental thing is that Bai Jin positioned himself as the Taiping King who founded the Tang Dynasty.
Bai Jin is just an old scholar with insufficient force, but in front of Song Dahu he always puts on the appearance that he can kill those fierce generals with outstanding martial arts by relying on his head and seeds.
It is also because of this that Song Dahu decided to follow behind the locusts and attack Xiangyi Mansion directly, instead of taking Qiping Mansion and developing a wave in Qiping Mansion.
Right now, when Song Dahu asked Bai Jin about this, Bai Jin waved his hand in a big way and said, "My lord, whether it's Marquis Wucheng or Uncle Wu, it's the courage of every man!"
"I wonder if the Lord wants to subdue them, or strangle them?"
"Oh? Tell me, if I want to subdue them, what should I do?"
"Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Wu are both famous and must be arrogant people. It is not easy for the Lord to conquer them. But it is not impossible!"
"Also ask the military teacher to teach me!"
How could Song Dahu be a fool to start such a big battle? Don't look at Bai Jin calling Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu as reckless husbands, but if such reckless husbands can be used by him, he and the founding emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty would be more like them back then.
Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was not strong enough back then, but he had such a strong general as King Taiping.
And if he fights tigers in Song Dynasty, if he can master Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu, then he will have two Taiping Kings under him, which is a bit more powerful than the founding emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.
"If the Lord wants to subdue such arrogant people, then you have to defeat them, frustrate their arrogance, and let them know that, Lord, you are the son of destiny!"
Bai Jin raised his hand and stroked his goatee, "And to defeat these two, can the Lord be sure?"
"Uh, no!"
Song Dahu swallowed his saliva and defeated Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu? Thinking of the terrifying legend of Xu Lao Er, who can defeat ten thousand by one, Song Dahu doesn't think he has this ability.
Bai Jin smiled lightly and said, "Lord, now the plague of locusts is raging, Xiangyi Mansion will inevitably be doomed. And Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu are building up their army in Jingbian City. At that time, there will be refugees everywhere, and food will be in short supply."
"Even though Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu have great influence in the army, no matter who they are, they all have to eat!"
"The Lord wants to subdue the two, but he can think of a way from the food!"
Where can Bai Jin have any way to subdue Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu, but he was only asked by Song Dahu, and he couldn't have any way. After all, he is a strategist, a strategist who can't help the master to share his worries, isn't this just trash?
"The strategist is right!"
Song Dahu nodded slightly, "It's just that we don't have much food!"
Currently, the number of refugees he has entrained has exceeded 500,000. When he enters the boundary of Xiangyi Prefecture, this number will probably double.
There is still a big gap in his food.
"Lord, Jie Yundao established a country in Jiannan Prefecture, and the imperial court has not yet sent troops to conquer. The reason why they provide us with food and grass is nothing more than enjoying the Lord's you to divide the attention of the imperial court."
"If that's the case, why doesn't the Lord ask for more food and grass from the road of robbery?"
"I want it!"
Song Dahu rolled his eyes, why didn't he ask for it?
From the moment he got involved with Jie Yundao, he made a request to the other party. But for this kind of thing, you always ask for the price, and I pay it back.
Jiao Luck Road does need them to divert the attention of the court, but they are not the only ones who can divert the attention of the court.
Longxi Mansion, Beiman has not yet retreated.
In the north, the wildlings are also making noise.
According to the messenger of Jie Yun Dao, the two small states of Fan State in the south are also about to move.
Even without them, Jie Luck Dao still has a lot of development time. But if they didn't have the support of Jie Luck Dao, it would be impossible for Song Dahu to keep the most elite army of 100,000 people strong.
The food for 100,000 people is really not a small amount.
In addition to the food for the 100,000 people, the rest of the people can't completely ignore them. After all, the family members of the 100,000 army are all there. Could it be that they could watch their own family starve to death?
"Lord, from the point of view of the subordinates, the Dao of Jie Yun is not enough. We have so many people that there is absolutely no need to go to Xiangyi Mansion. We can divide a lot of people to the south and go to Jiannan Mansion. !”
Bai Jin raised his eyebrows at Song Dahu, "Jieyun Dao treats us like a sword, and he refuses to give us too many benefits. Then, why do we control the refugees and prevent them from going to Jiannan Mansion?"
"Isn't it not professing to love the people?"
"In the opinion of my subordinates, it is absolutely possible to send some old people to Jiannan Mansion!"
Song Dahu listened to Bai Jin's words, don't say it, he was really moved.
The number of people on his side is really too many. There are 500,000 people. When they reach Xiangyi Mansion, the number of 500,000 people will be doubled, and he can't find such food at all.
Even maintaining basic survival is difficult.
