Chapter 1213 Asking for Help
Yes, ever since I saw how Wang Yue managed Taishan County in an orderly manner, Chen Xun admired Wang Yue extremely.
Therefore, leaving Chen Xun at the helm, this boy can completely follow Xiao's rules and not mess with the plans he arranged.
With the 80,000 elites Wang Yue brought from Taishan County, and the two old men from the Qingzhou Army, Wang Ping and Wang An, it didn't take long for Wang Yue to conquer the Qingzhou Army.
After Wang Yue took control of the army, he implemented the land equalization plan without hesitation. He first exchanged sufficient business shares for the land in the hands of those families, and then distributed it equally to the people on a per capita basis.
At the same time, Qingzhou continued to absorb a large number of refugees, providing them with food in exchange for work relief, allowing these idle refugees to build water conservancy bridges and pave roads under the leadership of Wang Yue's Agricultural Reclamation Corps.
Because there is a steady stream of food shipped from Yangzhou, Qingzhou has continuously attracted refugees to participate in infrastructure construction.
At the same time, Wang Yue promised that as long as these refugees worked for one year, they would be allocated land according to the standards of Qingzhou people.
After receiving Wang Yue's promise and seeing that the people in Qingzhou were allotted fields, the refugees felt that they had hope and were full of motivation to work.
Of course, there were some who were lazy and lazy, but Wang Yue never got used to them. He directly deported them and handed their portraits to the counties in Qingzhou to prevent such refugees from entering.
Wang Yue's method immediately stopped those lazy people, and they no longer dared to be lazy at work.
As for some arrogant people, there is nothing to say. They are often caught by the people sent by Wang Yue before they can take action.
Wang Yue has always lived a relatively modest life, so he established the Jinyi Guards and controlled the territory to the extreme.
It's just that Qingzhou is not like a county after all. Although Wang Yue has conquered all the counties with his royal methods, it will not be completed in a few months if he wants to turn the entire Qingzhou into Taishan County. However, many things were done by hand, and he just needed to check.
The situation in the surrounding area is now more severe. Except for the eastern part of Yanzhou, almost all of the west has become the territory of King Liang. King Liang is anxious to besiege the east capital and only sends troops to monitor the direction of Qingzhou, with no intention of going eastward.
But Jizhou in the north was in chaos. The governor of Jizhou took his tens of thousands of troops and stationed himself in Yecheng, enjoying his few happy moments and ignoring other counties that suffered natural disasters this week.
After all, whether it is Liang Wang or Qingzhou Youzhou, they all want to eat their Jizhou in one bite. No, Youzhou and Qingzhou have already taken action. The only area he can control is the area bordering the western part of Jizhou and Bingzhou.
...
Wang Yue came to Pingyuan County, the most unstable county in Qingzhou, and found that the number of refugees here continued to increase. He learned from the refugees that banditry was rampant in Qinghe County next door, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to leave the city, and the city was locked up all day long. The door does not care about the life and death of the people outside the city. Only the Cui family of Qinghe will send people to help the people.
Qingzhou and Youzhou had already carved up Hejian and Bohai counties. Youzhou had exclusively occupied Zhongshan Kingdom in Jeju, leaving only a few counties in Jizhou.
Probably the Jizhou governor felt that Qinghe County was too close to Qingzhou and wanted to give up, so he didn't care about the nonsense here at all.
Wang Yue felt that this was a gift from God to Qingzhou, and he missed Qingzhou very much. After all, he had married a girl here and lived here.
The result disappointed him. Although he killed the bandits here, occupied Qinghe County, and visited the Cui family in Qinghe, there was no girl named Shi Yi in the Cui family, and no woman married Li Qilang.
Wang Yue didn't say much, and he didn't embarrass the Cui family. He just asked them to hand over the land like the Qingzhou family in exchange for a share of the goods.
The Cui family of Qinghe was overjoyed when they heard what Wang Yue said. They had long heard that Qingzhou's products were always good at selling. If they accounted for a certain share, as long as Qingzhou was still surnamed Wang, the Cui family would have no shortage of money.
The reason why they are so happy is because most of the land in Qinghe belongs to the Cui family, but now that there are bandits everywhere in Qinghe County, there is no way to cultivate the land well. If you have it, you have nothing. As long as you have money, you can buy it back at any time in the future. .
Wang Yue asked them to do this, which was simply a help to them, allowing them to use these shares to transport a lot of grain from Qingzhou at low prices.
The Cui family was very loyal to Wang Yue, and they were even more grateful. Therefore, in order to show their sincerity, the head of the Cui family took the initiative and renamed his eighteen-year-old daughter Cui Shiyi and sent it to Wang Yue's house in Qingzhou.
Wang Yue didn't know about this at all. His whereabouts were erratic. He arranged for his troops to be stationed behind Qinghe. Although his banner was to return to Qingzhou, in fact, he was inspecting the Bohai River and other places in the city. At the same time, he also wanted to see Look who is in the hands of Anping County now.
Therefore, after he pacified the garrison in the Bohai River, he went west from Hejian Buddha to Anping County.
After arriving here, he faintly discovered that Youzhou's forces had already controlled the northern part of Anping County. People here said that even the northern part of Julu County and most of Changshan County were under Youzhou's control. within.
After Wang Yue learned about the situation here, he felt that time would not wait for me, so he immediately sent troops to station in several counties on the south bank of Zhangshui River to defend the northern part of Qinghe River.
Wang Yue's purpose for doing this is very simple. He is now taking advantage of the chaos to grab territory.
After occupying these territories in Ping An, Wang Yue arranged a defensive line. Before he could leave, his subordinates reported that an old friend was visiting.
Wang Yue was a little confused. He still had an acquaintance here, so he quickly invited this person to the military camp.
After waiting for a while, someone was brought over, and he was shocked to find that it was Gu Jiusi.
Wang Yue looked at the very embarrassed Gu Jiusi and asked with some confusion, "Third brother, what are you doing here? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Gu Jiusi came to Wang Yue without being polite, picked up the teacup on Wang Yue's table, and Gudongdong took a big sip, and then said anxiously, "Brother, I need your help."
When Wang Yue saw Gu Jiusi in such a hurry, he knew that something big was going on. He quickly asked, "Please tell me what the situation is. If you, my brother, can do it, I will definitely help you." Gu Jiusi became very excited after hearing Wang Yue's words
. He said, "Brother, your younger siblings have been kidnapped to Heifeng Village. The matter is too urgent. I heard that the Qingzhou Army has taken control of this place, so I came to ask for help. I didn't expect that eldest brother is here. It's really great." "
As soon as Wang Yue heard this, he immediately said to Wang San, "Inform Wang Ping and ask him to take my personal guards, and then select 10,000 cavalry from the military camp to go to the rescue with me." Gu Jiusi looked at Wang Yue
. He was very touched by how neatly he had arranged his troops. He looked at Wang Yue with a red face and said, "Brother, thank you so much." Wang Yue waved his hand to stop Gu Jiusi from continuing to stir up emotions. He picked up the tea from the table
. He handed it to Gu Jiusi, and then asked quickly, "Can you still ride a horse? If you can, just lead the way. Let's rush over quickly. By the way, are you working as a police officer in Youzhou City? How did you get to Changshan Country?"
Gu Jiusi drank the tea in one gulp, and then said helplessly, "I investigated the case of selling food, and I ended up here. How could I have imagined that in the small Wangdu City, someone actually colluded with the gangsters, and quietly sneaked in while Siyu wasn't paying attention? I tied him up."
Wang Yue saw what Gu Jiusi said, and pretended to be helpless and said, "Originally, I thought that the governor of Youzhou was kind-hearted and could conquer the world, but I really wasn't going to get involved. However, since they control Changshan Kingdom, they allow banditry to flourish there, which is really just for the sake of fame."
Gu Jiusi sighed and said helplessly, "Youzhou is really too poor, but after I donated the money, Only Youzhou has the money to help the people. These newly acquired places are just accessible without any scruples."
After seeing what Gu Jiusi said, Wang Yue didn't make much comment. Anyway, he had already decided that if he were to be in the world within three years He won't stay there until things are settled. But he didn't tell Gu Jiusi these thoughts. He quickly arrived at the foot of Heifeng Village with more than 10,000 cavalry.
The sentry in Heifeng Village at the foot of the mountain was shot to death by Wang Yue's random arrows before he could make a sound. Without waiting for any reaction from the mountain, Wang Yue led three thousand personal guards and quickly attacked the mountain.
Anyone who resisted along the way would be shot to death with crossbows. With Wang Yue's time back, some people were able to attack the stronghold without any damage.
It was only then that the bandits in the village realized that it was too late for them to take any action at this time.
Although the current boss Yingying didn't understand why the Qingzhou Army came here, he still knew that Wang Yue was here to save people. He quickly sent people to the backyard to capture Liu Siyu. He wanted to use hostages to threaten Wang Yue and ask Wang Yue to let him go. A way out.
Wang Yue had time backtracking, and he originally planned to use it once to know where Liu Siyu was imprisoned. He could use time backtracking to save people in advance, but he never thought that chaos would break out in the village before he could activate it.
I vaguely heard a bandit shouting, "Shen Ming, what are you doing? Attack one of our own people for a woman?"
Then someone said, "Come on, I have never been the same as you. We agreed at the beginning. Okay, we are here to make a living, but you are doing some things that bring harm to the people. I heard that Gu Jiusi is investigating the case of food embezzlement, and the Eagle immediately asked us to go to Heifeng Village to kidnap Gu Jiusi's wife , even a fool understands that the eagle is involved in selling food. Now there is famine everywhere in Youzhou and Jizhou. Is it still considered personal for you to do this?" His words stunned
many bandits on the mountain. They didn't know what happened. , I thought I was picking up a young lady from a rich family who was greedy for wealth and was unkind.
These rich people have plenty of money and food at home, but they see that the people are not able to eat enough, but they are indifferent. They rob the rich and give to the poor, and then kill them.
However, if he is a good official, and he is investigating a food case for the people, what will happen if they kill this good official's family members?
So, everyone looked at the eagle and wanted to know an answer.
When the eagle saw this scene, he quickly defended himself and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He just saw that we were surrounded, so he started to stir up trouble."
Gu Jiusi wanted to say something else, but Wang Yue dodged and rushed over. He was going to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
When the eagle saw Wang Yue rushing over, he quickly slashed at Wang Yue with his sword.
Wang Yue dodged sideways, then quickly stepped forward, cut off his wrist with a sword, and then put the sword on his neck.
It was only then that he said coldly, "Put down your weapons now, and we will check later. If there are no evildoers among you, I will spare your lives. If there is innocent blood on your hands, I'm sorry." Now, you must be responsible for what you did."
The boss was caught and was targeted with bows and arrows. The bandits in Heifeng Village looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who was the initiator. After a while, everyone dropped their weapons.
Until this time, Wang Yue signaled his men to arrest those men from Black Wind Village, and then he looked at Eagle and said with a smile, "How long do you think you can live if you don't stop bleeding?" Eagle was stunned just now
. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue's martial arts skills were so high, and he was captured in one encounter. Only after Wang Yue reminded him did he feel the pain in his hand.
He felt his body getting weaker and weaker, and he was a little afraid of death. He pleaded, "Sir, please help me stop the bleeding." Wang Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Why should
I stop your bleeding? You are of no use."
When the Eagle heard what Wang Yue said, he said with great happiness, "Is it useful? I am useful. I have evidence of communication with my boss Ma Sanye. I also have evidence of him selling food. I also know Where did he hide the food?"
Wang Yue didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly, so he saw Gu Jiusi and said with a half-smile, "Third brother, should you take this person away, or should I?"
Gu Jiusi was already gone at this moment. Pulling Liu Siyu to his side, he looked carefully and found that Liu Shiyu was still in the same clothes as before she disappeared. Although her expression was a little tired, she didn't look like she was wronged. He was relieved.
After listening to what Wang Yue said, he said a little embarrassedly, "Brother, leave it to me. I still have things in Wangdu that I need him to correct."
Seeing what Gu Jiusi said, Wang Yue didn't force it. He asked his men to tie up all the people in the village, and let the man who rescued Liu Siyu watch, and then walked down the mountain without hesitation.
Gu Jiusi looked at the direction Wang Yue was going down the mountain and asked with some doubts, "Brother, where are you going?"
Wang Yue was speechless, so he kindly reminded him, "You don't think that when I have 10,000 cavalry crossing the border, Youzhou will No reaction at all? If I don’t leave now, the soldiers and horses from Youzhou will arrive soon. If I don’t leave, waiting for the soldiers and horses from Youzhou to arrive will only increase the trouble."
