Chapter 20 The pedantic scholar
After hearing what Lu Ning said, everyone felt that this was the truth. Now no one from the government would come to care about the people, and they could only obey Lu Ning's command and arrangement.
Without any more doubts, everyone said in unison: "We all obey the general's command."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, from today on, you all will be my civil officials to help me handle all internal affairs. As for internal affairs, I don't understand. I am also an outsider, and I can only rely on us to discuss it together. As long as we all have a heart of loving the people, I believe we can do it well. We will do better than those corrupt officials. Now you first sort out all the refugees' situation, count the craftsmen, and build them up, and organize the information, especially those who can thrash iron, smelting, weaving, roasting wine, and making tools. There are also those who have skills such as carpenters, masons, stonemasons, etc.
The information is also sorted out. Secondly, you should reorganize the refugees to facilitate good management. It is best to arrange them together whenever you come from every place. Every 30 or 50 households will form a community. You will choose people who are public, responsible, and famous among them to manage their society. If you become the president, if the people have any difficulties, the problems will be solved first. Then every ten clubs will form a village, and the people who manage these ten clubs will be called the village chief, and the village chief will be the people you here. Every ten to twenty villages form a county, and the future county chief will also be selected among you. It depends on your future work performance and the election of the people."
When Lu Ning said this, a sour scholar in the crowd stood up and saluted Lu Ning, refuting: "General, according to what you said just now, isn't you going to rebel? Besides, the positions of these presidents, village chiefs, and county magistrates must be reported to the court and approved by the government. And many of the things you said violate the court system, so how can you do it?"
Lu Ning looked up and said in contempt: "What should you do? You should report to the court, the government, who will we report to? In what name will it be useful if you report it? If the court, the government is willing to manage, resettle, and care about the people, why don't you escape from the famine? Do you think I am willing to manage these things? I have eaten too much, if I hadn't seen so many disaster victims, refugees suffer and suffer from horse thieves, Xianbei people, and Xiongnu people, I wouldn't have been too lazy to care. Isn't it better for me to travel alone and enjoy the beauty of nature than now? Although what you said makes sense, I also know that this is a stopgap measure, and at present, only this stopgap measure can temporarily solve the problem.
Difficult; I have no other way. Now there are at least 100,000 Xianbei cavalry within a thousand miles of 100,000, as well as the Qiang, Huns, horse thieves and other cavalry nearby. They will come to attack us at any time! Can I fight with these few people under my command? That's not a fool! There are so many disaster victims and refugees. What can I use to help them? I have no food or money. Do you think I am better? I will sprinkle beans into gold? I have given my life to the people. You really don't hurt your waist when you stand and speak. Of course, if you think these actions do not conform to the court system and are rebellious, I won't force you. You can leave. Please take your own place where you think of it."
After everyone heard Lu Ning's words, many people stared at the sour scholar with their eyes. If Lu Ning hadn't been there, they would have eaten him. And the bird scholar really got up and left.
And the others saluted Lu Ning and said, "We all obey the general's arrangement."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then everyone will go to work. I hope you will do everything for the people."
After everyone saluted Lu Ning, they all went to do it.
Lu Ning was also thinking about the future. Although the boy said something ugly, he was still right. If he did not have the court's approval, he was really rebelling, and it was no different from the Yellow Turban Army. After all, it is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and what the court said is still useful.
Although the court was weak and did not dare to resist the barbarians and Tartars, they were not vague at all about suppressing the rebellion of the people.
Now, with these soldiers under Lu Ning, how can they fight with the court? What can they use to fight? There is no territory or food or food.
I am currently conquering Yanmen County, but I still have to find a way to gain recognition from the court in the future, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
A few days later, the scouts collected all the situations in Yanmen County, and Lu Ning summoned his subordinates to study them together.
Lu Ning said: "According to the reconnaissance of the scouts, there are basically hundreds of Xianbei cavalry in the four small cities of Yanmen County, with nearly a thousand Xianbei cavalry in Yinguan City; and there are more than 5,000 Xianbei cavalry in Yinguan City, who are affiliated with the Xianbei tribe of Tuoba tribe. Our army currently has no infantry and no siege equipment. If we rely on cavalry to attack directly, we will not be able to afford to lose. Before we can capture Yinguan City, our army will have no soldiers. Besides, after we capture Yanmen County, we will have to deal with other strong enemies around us. We cannot attack the city for force, we can only fight against the enemy's field, and even if we fight in field, we cannot fight head-on. So everyone is talking about what is the way to capture Yanmen County, but we cannot make our army suffer too much."
After hearing this, Li You thought for a while and said, "Lord, we can send soldiers to the city as common people in advance, and then work inside and outside at night, so that it will be easy to capture the city and the losses will not be too great."
Zhang Sha'er also said: "Lord, we can let soldiers secretly climb the city walls when it is late at night and give the enemy a sneak attack, and it can easily capture the city."
When Heizi saw that even Sha'er could come up with an idea, he said, "Lord, didn't you say you wanted to fight against the enemy in the field? Then we will lure the enemy out of the city and fight with us."
Everyone laughed after hearing Heizi's words.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but it is not easy to operate. What kind of sneak attacks, internal and external cooperation, all require careful planning. Besides, it can only be used once. We can't always use one method, so the enemies will become fools."
Zhang Liao thought about it one by one and said, "Lord, it seems that he can only lead a snake out of the hole, and then design an ambush the enemy. First, destroy as much of the enemy's living power outside the city as possible, and finally find a way to attack the city."
