Chapter 216: The Phantom Thief Legion
Under Jiang Yingluo's dual-line operation of being a wealthy businessman during the day and a strange thief at night, Ji Luo and others soon became black and white characters.
Of course, they had to eat them all, because those who were not allowed to eat, or who they could not eat, died.
Haha, to put it bluntly, Ji Luo and others have basically swept all the martial arts in this world, especially Lu Honglei, who is well deserved to be the best in the world.
After nearly a month of horrific turmoil, Yunzhong County has lost nearly half of its officials, and they are all officials with real power. Everyone is frightened.
At first, everyone did not believe that it was Xianbei, but no matter how much the Yamen investigated, they could not find even a single clue. As for the attacker, they all knew it, and he was obviously from Xianbei.
So... inexplicably, Jiang Yingluo's rumors were completely put to death.
Of course, it didn't work if it wasn't thorough. Any officials who had other ideas were killed, and their homes were also ransacked along the way.
Under such circumstances, the turbulent Yunzhong County needed heroes and strong leadership, so - the famous Three Heroes took advantage of the situation and took over!
Ji Luo, Jiang Yingluo, Lu Honglei, Mu Yanyu, and An Yujin, with ten thousand men and women, joined the army and directly obtained official positions——
In the end, Ji Luo, Jiang Yingluo, Mu Yanyu, and An Yujin were all captains, and Lu Honglei was directly a general with no title, responsible for commanding the four of them.
When the five men led the troops into the military camp, Lu Honglei immediately became the most powerful person in the camp, or in other words...it was not that Lu Honglei was powerful, but that everyone above him was dead.
The turmoil in Yunzhong County soon reached the ears of the governor of Bingzhou, and then they were investigated and new officials were put in place.
Hmm...what happens after?
Of course, the Phantom Thieves took action and started a new round of baptism~
Like to plunder people's wealth and wealth? Die! All property confiscated!
Like to bully people? Die! All property confiscated!
Like to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? Die! All property will be confiscated!
It lasted two full months, two extremely bloody months. In the end, the Phantom Thieves were dispatched, and the official was left to die. All the people who were looking after the home and the hospital were all gone, and no one dared to resist.
Yunzhong County has never had an unprecedented clear administration of officials. Each official worked conscientiously and took on multiple positions, completely curbing bureaucracy.
It wouldn't work otherwise, after all, the entire Yunzhong County has now fully entered into preparations for the invasion of Xianbei.
The Xianbei people were too terrifying and went too far. Every ten officials in Yunzhong County were killed. Now that they have positions, no one dares to come.
Because everyone who came... was dead.
Especially the military!
Eight commanders and leaders of the Yunzhong County army died in a row. They all took their positions on the first day and went directly to the funeral the next day, faster than Nima jumping into the river to go to the funeral.
Of course, Ji Luo and others were also subjected to crazy "assassinations", especially Lu Honglei, who was "assassinated" fifteen times in a week, and two of his mansions were burned down.
However, Ji Luo and others were strong and they had the force, so they survived. But as for the others, they all died suddenly on the spot.
Of course, it is not that there are no good generals. Ji Luo and others initially did not want to attack the one or two single seedlings. After all, good men are hard to find.
However, after Ji Luo and others discussed for a long time, they still took action. However, they did not kill him, but only injured him to a similar extent. They made him lie in bed obediently for half a year, and took the initiative to take the blame and resign.
It can be said clearly that the final goal of Ji Luo and others is to control the army of Yunzhong County. Apart from them, there cannot be any other voice in the army. No one can. Even if Huangfu Song comes, he will still die.
——That's right, Ji Luo said, even God can't keep him.
Under the influence of this bloody struggle for power, Ji Luo and others became veritable military commanders.
Then came the army expansion operation. Ji Luo, Jiang Yingluo, Mu Yanyu, and An Yujin had four captains, each with 4,000 troops, for a total of 12,000.
Lu Honglei had an army of 8,000, and the five of them made up a total of 20,000.
Because of the shortage of horses, except for Lu Honglei who had a thousand cavalry, the other battalions only had 500 cavalry, making up the total of 3,000 cavalry.
To be honest, Xianbei is a nation of horses. They are good at riding and shooting. Infantry can only be used to defend the city. If you want to counterattack, you still need cavalry.
It's just a pity...cavalry is too expensive.
Although Bingzhou has a horse farm and is considered one of the main horse-producing areas of the Han Dynasty, Yunzhong County is only a county after all, and there are not many horses allocated to them.
Ji Luo and others paid for the three thousand cavalry themselves to get so much. After all, the war horses are not just horses, they are not only delicate, but also expensive!
The 20,000 soldiers were basically recruited and trained from the time Ji Luo and others arrived in Yunzhong County.
After the autumn harvest, when Xianbei closed the border, 20,000 soldiers had been training for more than two months. Relying on the crazy buffs from Jiluo's small treasury, the army had sufficient meat and food, and its combat effectiveness was far beyond what those miscellaneous soldiers could match...
"Ji Luo, I think we should recruit fifty thousand soldiers, no! One hundred thousand! As long as there are one hundred thousand soldiers, Xianbei will not be able to invade Yunzhong County even if they are all dead!"
Mu Yanyu beat legendary figures all over the world with her fists, men, women and children. She had bad ideas one after another, and all kinds of strange thoughts popped into her head.
"It's 50,000 yuan. You have already reached your limit with 4,000 soldiers, okay? No matter how many people there are, can you command them? They're just a mess. They'll collapse when someone touches them in a battle. You still have shitty fighting ability!"
Ji Luo knew Mu Yanyu very well and naturally understood her whimsical ideas. To be honest, if possible, Ji Luo would also like to recruit 100,000 troops. After all... the number of people in Xianbei is really terrifying!
One hundred thousand... A hundred thousand Xianbei cavalry camped at the gate of Yanmen County. Looking around, the vast land was full of people and horses.
Xianbei is composed of tribes, Bu Dugen is the leader, and the cavalry under his command are also the most elite warriors. This time he assembled an army of 100,000 people, basically each man has two horses, so the number of horses exceeds 200,000, so the galloping
, the earth was really shaking.
The only good thing is that the Xianbei, or the nomads, are not good at attacking cities. They have elite cavalry, but other arms are all blind.
And Yunzhong County was not so easy to capture. In order to prevent foreign invasion, the city walls of Yunzhong County were built very high. Without siege engines, Xianbei's 100,000-strong army could not advance even if they were all dead.
Moreover, the woods around Yunzhong County had been cut down by Ji Luo and others a long time ago. They came with a large army and there must be no engineering equipment. They just want to cut down the wood to make engineering equipment, so they need to transport it to far away places.
It took several days to get back.
