Two days later.
The army marched.
Jing 'an.
City near the mountain.
It was just an unremarkable small county.
With Taishi Ci as the Jingan Governor, he could control the military and political affairs of the entire county.
"General Ziyi."
At the city gate, Jing 'an County Deputy Du Shuang bowed.
Taishi Ci didn't dare to be careless. He dismounted and said,""Deputy Du, I have received the lord's orders to be in charge of the Jing 'an Army's political affairs. I am also in charge of exterminating Shan Yue!”
"Shan Yue?"
Du Shuang was at a loss.
Taishi Ci frowned and said in a deep voice,""Could it be that the county wasn't invaded by Shan Yue?”
"No!"
Du Shuang shook his head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry."General, our Red Cliff Army used to be the largest Shanyue in Yuzhang. Even if we walked out of Tianyue Mountain, no one would dare to pillage in Yuzhang.”
"Um."
Taishi Ci's mouth twitched.
Even though he knew that the Red Cliff Army was a bandit.
However, it was still extremely strange for a county magistrate to say it so openly.
"General."
Du Shuang pondered for a long time before he suddenly said," Recently, many people have heard that Yuzhang has registered their household registration and allocated fertile land. They have run out of Jiuling Mountain!”
"Oh?"
Taishi Ci's eyes lit up.
Du Shuang nodded and said," These people couldn't survive in the other counties. They wanted to come to Yuzhang, but they were kidnapped in the mountains and forced to build a camp for some bandits. I heard that the leader of these bandits is called Dong Si!”
"Alright."
Taishi Ci's eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice,""County Deputy Du, immediately find a military officer familiar with Shan Yue and follow me up the mountain to eliminate the bandits!”
"General."
Du Shuang hesitated.
Taishi Ci suppressed the anger in his heart and said sternly,"County Deputy Du, are you afraid?"
"That's not it!"
Du Shuang shook his head and said helplessly again,"Those Shanyue are not within Yuzhang's borders, and Dong Si has set up camp a hundred kilometers south of the Nine Ridge Mountain. His main purpose is to plunder money within Changsha County, and it has nothing to do with Yuzhang!”
"This…!"
Taishi Ci was dumbfounded.
"Ahem."
Du Shuang coughed dryly and said in a low voice," General Ziyi, there is no Shanyue in Yuzhang County. Dong Si, the commander of Jiuling Mountain, is Shanyue from Changsha County. Fei Zhan, the commander of Qiangang Mountain, has also moved into Danyang. They do not dare to plunder in Yuzhang. Could it be that the lord wants to accumulate military merits for you?”
"No."
"There must be a reason for this, my lord."
Taishi Ci frowned and said in a deep voice,""Since my lord has ordered the extermination of the bandits, even if Dong Si is in Changsha, I will uproot his camp. Otherwise, how can the other commoners come to my Yuzhang in the future?”
"Here."
Du Shuang agreed speechlessly.
Gan Ning, Liao Hua, they were both idiots.
Huang Qi, Zhou Jin, and Zhao Yi were the veterans of the Red Cliff Army.
Even though he had taken over the internal affairs, he was always judged based on his achievements. Now, there was Taishi Ci who wanted to kill thieves and establish military achievements.
The development of the Red Cliff Army seemed to be a little abnormal.
He rested for two hours.
Taishi Ci led a thousand soldiers into the mountain.
Under the leadership of the military officers of Tranquil Peace City, they began to cross the mountains and ridges towards the Shanyue camp.
River East.
There were many mountains.
The special terrain created a bandit problem like Shan Yue.
Gathering the people, opening up fertile fields in the mountains, not paying taxes to the king, building their own regime, and forging weapons and armor, forming a mountain bandit regime that was not weaker than the Liu Clan.
Among them, Wu Jun Yan Baihu, Dan Yang Fei Zhan were the same.
Even the former Red Cliff camp was the biggest threat to the Shanyue in Yuzhang.
Since the Red Cliff Army left the mountain.
Wang Xiong ruled Yuzhang with iron-blooded methods.
The bandits that were spreading in the mountains all retreated and did not dare to fight with him.
Dong Si was the same, but unfortunately, he became a sacrifice in the war between Wang Xiong and Jing Zhou.
Three days into the mountains.
Taishi Ci was already close to the boundary of Changsha Prefecture.
A thousand fully equipped soldiers, wielding steel sabers and bows, began to attack the city.
In just two days, six of Dong Si's wooden stockades that stretched for hundreds of miles had been broken through. His soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the people in the stockades fled toward Yuzhang.
These people.
He had long wanted to go to Yuzhang to serve the people.
Under the rule of the Red Cliff Army, the commoners were given a tax of 50%, and they could also be allocated fertile land.
To be able to live well in the king's rule, who would want to curl up in the mountain stream and be a bandit who did not have enough to eat?
Nine Ridge Mountain.
At the southern foot.
In a huge camp.
The Shan Yue generals led by Dong Si were panicking.
Wang Zhengnan and the Red Cliff Army were legends in Shanyue, existences that terrified people!
"Bastard!"
"Bastard!"
Dong Si paced back and forth within the wooden stockade, his eyes filled with horror as he said in a broken voice,"I've already set up my camp in Changsha Prefecture, but Wang Zhengnan still sent his troops here. Does he really think that he can wash away his identity as a bandit and become an official of the royal army to govern the people by occupying Yuzhang?”
"Elder brother."
Dong Yi said in fear," Dang Shanyue has no way out. Today, Wang Zhengnan dared to send troops into Changsha Prefecture to suppress the bandits. When he takes over Jiangdong, there will be no more Shan Yue!"”
"Zong Shuai."
"If it doesn't work, then surrender!"
The group of Shan Yue generals tried to persuade him.
When they were Shan Yue, it was because their reputation was low and they could not live anymore that they entered the mountains to become bandits.
Now that the vanguard of the Red Cliff Army was charging over, forcing them to resist and become souls under their swords would only be a merit for Taishi Ci's promotion.
