Chapter 712 Yuzhou Mountain (4000)(2/2)
The local people who could escape have already fled, and those who should go up the mountain have almost gone up the mountain. They are now in a state of half-death. If the remaining people can't stand the harassment of the thieves, they will probably make their own choices soon... This
Naturally, Wu Liang would not engage in such a thankless and loss-making business unless there was a necessity.
The question now is.
Wu Liang didn't want to provoke this group of thieves, but he didn't know if they would come to trouble him.
Unfortunately, the black powder cannot be used again this time. He has told Boss Cao that it is no longer available. If it is used again this time, it will still be on Boss Cao's territory. Boss Cao will definitely receive the news, and then there will be a conflict between him and Boss Cao.
There will already be a crisis of trust, which is no small matter.
"Can you ask Taishi Wu to finish his official duties and report this matter to the emperor when he returns, asking the emperor to send troops to attack this group of thieves? Otherwise, there will never be peace in Qu County."
Bing Lize then said to Wu Liang in a somewhat naive manner.
Wu Liang suspected that Bing Li knew the reason why no one came to exterminate this group of thieves, just to show loyalty or to test him, so he followed his wishes and said: "This is natural. Bing County Magistrate loves his people like his own son."
If you ask for orders for the people, I will also order the emperor to do so."
"Then thank you Taishi Wu."
Bing Li cupped his hands and thanked him.
…
What followed was some insignificant conversation.
Wu Liang did not ask Bing Li to help provide information about Xu Fu, because he could see that Bing Li had almost no one available.
Bing Li's own knowledge of the information should be limited, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to ask him to help investigate. It would be less efficient than asking Yang Wanli to lead the scouts of the Hu army to investigate in person.
The most important thing is that Wu Liang can't trust Bing Li and the people who are still staying in Qu County.
Bing Li himself said just now that some of the villagers here escaped, and some went up to the mountains to become thieves. So there must be relatives of them in Qu County, and their stance may have changed long ago...
He even had reason to doubt.
The fact that he led the Hu army to Qu County in such an open and honest manner has already been noticed by many people. Perhaps the news has spread to Yuzhou Mountain at this moment.
Thousands versus hundreds.
The thieves on Yuzhou Mountain will naturally think that their chances of winning are not small.
The Hu army was accompanied by more than a dozen horses, as well as the supplies loaded on the carriages. These were irresistible attractions for the thieves on Yuzhou Mountain, and they must be guarded against.
After coming out of the county house like this, Wu Liang immediately called Dian Wei to his side: "Dian Wei, please make arrangements quickly and order our people to pack their things and leave the city immediately to the west to Houqiu."
"promise!"
Dian Wei never asked why, just turned around and went to do his work.
On the contrary, Yu Ji couldn't help but asked: "Master, why is this? I remember that the destination of this trip should be Qu County, right?"
"There are remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits in Yuzhou Mountain nearby. I don't think it's safe to be stationed here."
Wu Liang said seriously.
"But Houqiu is almost three hundred miles away from this. Next we have to search for news in Qu County. Going back and forth like this is very time-consuming..."
Yu Ji had just finished speaking half of his words.
But they heard a rush of footsteps. It turned out that Yang Wanli, who was sent by Wu Liang to find out the news, was back.
