After everyone heard what Lü Ning said, they felt that this was the truth. Now, no one from the government would care about the people. They could only listen to Lü Ning's orders.
Without any more doubts, everyone said in unison,"We will follow the general's orders.”
"Alright, then from today onwards, all of you will be my civil servants and assist me in handling all internal affairs. As for internal affairs, I don't know much about it myself. I'm also an outsider. I can only rely on everyone to discuss it together. As long as we all have the heart to love the people, I believe that we will definitely be able to do well. We will do better than those corrupt officials.
Now, split up and sort out the situation of all the refugees. Count out the skilled craftsmen and establish and sort out the information, especially those who can forge iron, iron, weave cloth, roast wine, and make tools. The information of carpenters, masons, stonemasons, and other skilled people was also sorted out.
Secondly, you have to regroup the refugees so that they can be better managed. It's best to arrange them together from every place. Every 30 to 50 households will form a society. You will choose a person with a sense of fairness, responsibility, and reputation to manage this society. As the president, if the people have any difficulties or problems, they will first look for the president who manages them. Then, every ten societies will form a village. The person who manages these ten societies will be called the village chief. The village chief will be held by the people present here. Every ten to twenty villages form a county. The future county head will also be chosen from you. This will depend on your future work performance and the election of the people.”
When Lü Ning said this, a sour scholar in the crowd stood up and bowed to Lü Ning. He refuted,"General, according to what you said just now, isn't that a rebellion? Moreover, the positions of the president, village chief, and county head must be reported to the court and recognized by the government. Moreover, many of what you said violated the court system. How could that be allowed?”
Lu Ning raised his head to take a look and said in disdain,""Then what do you think we should do? And report it to the court and the government? Who do we report to? In what name? Would it be useful even if he reported it? If the court and the government were willing to manage, settle, and care for the people, why would you have to escape? Do you think I want to manage these things? I ate too much! If I didn't see so many victims and refugees suffering, and being bullied by the Horse Gang, Xianbei people, and Xiongnu people, I wouldn't have cared.
Wouldn't it be better for me to travel alone and enjoy the beauty of nature? "Although what you said makes sense, I also know that this is a stopgap measure. At present, only this stopgap measure can temporarily solve the problem. There are at least a hundred thousand Xianbei cavalry within a thousand li of us, as well as the Qiang Hu, Xiongnu, Horse Gang, and other cavalry. They will attack us at any time! Do you think I can defeat them with just a few of my men? Was that a fool's dream? There are still so many disaster victims and refugees. What can I use to help them? I have no food or money. Do you think I have it easy? I can turn beans into gold? I've given my life to the commoners. You really don't have a backache when you're standing and talking. Of course, if you feel that my actions do not conform to the court system and are rebellious, I will not force you. You can leave.”
After everyone heard Lu Ning's words, many of them glared at the sour scholar. If it wasn't for Lu Ning, they would probably have eaten him up. The bird scholar really stood up and left.
The others bowed to Lu Ning and said,""We will follow the general's arrangements.”
"Then everyone, go back to work. I hope you can do a good job with the people."”
After everyone bowed to Lü Ning, they all went to do it.
Lu Ning was also thinking about his future. Although the boy's words were unpleasant, he was still right. If he did not have the approval of the court, he would really be rebelling and would be no different from the Yellow Turban Army. After all, the Han Dynasty was still the world, and the words of the court were still useful.
Although the court was weak and did not dare to resist the barbarians, it was not at all careless in suppressing the rebellion of the common people.
With the few soldiers under Lü Ning, how could they fight against the court? What could they use to fight? They had no territory and no provisions.
At the moment, they had taken down Yanmen County, but they still had to think of a way to obtain the recognition of the court. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
A few days later, the scouts had collected all the information about Yanmen County. Lu Ning gathered his subordinates to study it.
"According to the scouts, there are hundreds to thousands of Xianbei cavalry stationed in the thirteen or fourteen small cities in Yanmen Prefecture." Inside Yin Mansion, there were over five thousand Xianbei cavalrymen. They belonged to the Tuoba tribe. Our army currently has no infantry or siege weapons. If we rely on cavalry to attack directly, we can't afford to suffer losses. Before we can take down Yin Mansion City, our army will have no soldiers left. Besides, after we take down Yanmen Prefecture, we still have to deal with the strong enemies in the other surroundings. We can't attack the city by force, so we can only fight the enemy in the field. Therefore, let's all talk about how we can take down Yanmen Prefecture without causing too many losses to our army.”
Li You thought for a moment and said," My lord, we can send soldiers to disguise as civilians and sneak into the city. At night, we can coordinate with the inside and outside. This way, it will be easy to take down the city, and the losses will not be too great."”
Zhang Sha 'er also said," My lord, we can let the soldiers secretly climb up the city walls in the dead of night and ambush the enemy. It will also be easy to take down the city."”
When Blackie saw that even Silly could come up with ideas, he said,"My lord, didn't you say that you wanted to fight the enemy in the wild? Then we'll lure the enemy out of the city to fight with us.”
Everyone laughed when they heard Blackie's words.
Lu Ning smiled and said," What you said makes sense, but it's not easy to operate. What sneak attack, what cooperation from the inside and outside, all of this requires careful planning. Besides, it can only be used once. We can't always use the same method, right? Wouldn't the enemy become an old fool?”
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said," My lord, it seems that we can only lure the snake out of its hole. Then, we can plan an ambush for the enemy. First, we can eliminate as many of the enemy's forces as possible outside the city. Then, we can think of a way to attack the city."”
