Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85: Sending troops to kill the bandits

Liu He was overjoyed when he heard this. He grabbed his wife's hands and asked her to tell him what she had said.

"In this book Mencius, I saw that the sage once said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important. Therefore, if you can get the support of the people, you will become the emperor, if you can get the support of the emperor, you will become a prince, and if you can get the support of the princes, you will become a minister. I didn't understand the reason at first, thinking how could ordinary people like us be more valuable than the king? But after reading it over and over again, and thinking about the changes in our Huangshui Township over the years, I understand some of the meaning."

Zhang Yong and Guan Yu's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly urged her to continue.

"No matter how great a king is, he is only a clan. No matter how powerful a vassal is, he is only a family of several surnames. The majority of people in this world are still us ordinary people. When the people are happy, the country is peaceful. When the people are poor, the country is overthrown. The Former Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and resisted the Xiongnu in the north. It was extremely powerful for a time, but it perished after two generations. This is exactly the reason."

Liu He nodded slightly after hearing this.

This truth was already recognized by everyone in his previous life, but in this era, it only remains on paper and few people take it seriously. It was indeed extremely difficult for Zhang Yu to figure it out on her own.

Zhang Yu felt relieved when she saw her husband's affirmative and encouraging eyes.

"So, we don't have to plan anything. All we need to do is just four words - protect the country and the people. If we can do this, we can respond to all changes with the same attitude."

Cheng Liang was very puzzled and asked, "How can one remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "According to what those refugees from Jizhou said, the Taiping Dao has grown to hundreds of thousands of followers, and now they have begun to openly refuse to pay taxes and serve in the army, and the government is helpless, so the Great Sage Master is quite popular among the people. It seems that the Taiping Dao event that my husband predicted at the beginning is indeed taking shape. When something big happens in Jizhou, Bingzhou will definitely be the first to be affected, and many people will definitely be displaced."

"Once that day comes, as long as we can protect the territory and keep the people safe, it will be enough to attract the people around us to join us. While keeping the people safe, our militia will surely grow rapidly, with thousands or even tens of thousands of people. When the time comes, we will quell any chaos. As long as we have the name of quelling chaos, we can go to any of the surrounding counties and even prefectures, not to mention far away places!"

"Good!" Several people applauded after hearing this!
"What a great way to protect the territory and the people, to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations! When others disturb the people, we keep them safe! If you win the hearts of the people in a county, you are the county magistrate! If you win the hearts of the people in a state, you are the governor! Sister, your words are clear and thoughtful, much better than yours!"

Zhang Yong looked at his sister and said with great relief.

Liu He also felt relieved and instantly understood the direction. This policy was exactly the same as the benevolent principle he had been pondering over the past few days, except that Zhang Yu's analysis was more thorough.

"Okay, develop agriculture and train militia. The more chaotic others are, the safer we will be. Not moving is moving, haha! I understand, Yu'er is really our mentor!"

Zhang Yu felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Liu He.

Liu He had always been thinking about whether he should do something now, and he was a little impatient for success.

After hearing what Zhang Yu said, he was suddenly awakened. If he took the initiative to act, wouldn't he be like Zhang Jiao and others, and become the culprit who disrupted the world for his own interests?
"Haha, big brother and big sister are really a match made in heaven! Big brother is a young hero, and big sister is a heroine. We brothers admire and envy them! It's a pity that Uncle Zhang didn't have more children. Otherwise, I, Zhu Ye, could also become in-laws with big brother and fourth brother, hehe!"

"Forget it, Fifth Brother, you look like a bear. How can you be as handsome and mighty as the eldest brother? Even if Fourth Brother has a younger sister, she will never marry you and suffer. Haha!"

"Oh, Third Brother, you always make fun of me. Today I must compete with you!"

"Come if you want, who's afraid of who, hehe."

Several people started fighting in a group for a while.

"System prompt: The host and Zhang Yu have completed the preliminary strategic planning. The host has received 200 hidden reward points, and Zhang Yu's intelligence has increased by 1 point." The system gave Liu He an unexpected surprise in a timely manner.

"Oh my, the system boss is really giving me face! Thank you so much, haha! My wife is such a treasure, smart, beautiful, and virtuous. She is really the best wife in the world!"

Liu He was extremely happy. If there weren’t so many people around, he really wanted to hug Zhang Yu and give her a few big kisses!

"Lu Su had the Couch Plan, Kong Ming had the Longzhong Plan, and my wife's plan today is... um... yes, the Parade Ground Plan! Although the pattern is far less grand than the previous two, it is also enough to go down in history. I, Liu He, am so lucky to have such a virtuous wife!"

Just then, four men rode their horses galloping towards the valley.

"Report..."

When Liu He saw these four people, his expression lit up with joy.

This was the scout he sent out to investigate the man who killed Manager Xu's entire family. He had been out for several days and came back today. He must have some news.

Sure enough, when the four men came before Liu He, dismounted and reported, they understood the whole thing.

After Gao Mian burned down the house of Manager Xu, he started to show off his power everywhere. For several days in a row, he spent his days in debauchery with the young masters of several major families in Langtiao County and lived a very happy life.

Last night, this man stayed in Tianxiang Pavilion again. He got up at noon and then left.

"Have you found out where he's going next?"

Zhang Yong asked.

"We found out that when Gao was about to mount his horse at the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion, another young man who was spending his days drinking and partying with him teased him, saying that he might... might be weak from all the partying he did every night. Gao got angry and said that he would go out of town to hunt and show them his bravery. His destination was in the mountains and forests about 20 miles east of Huangshui Township."

Liu He and his friends were overjoyed!

"Great! We were originally afraid that this guy would hide in the city or escape back to Yu County, so it would be difficult for us to take action! Now he actually came here to seek death, this is really God's will to kill him!"

Cheng Liang said viciously, and everyone looked eager to try, waiting for Liu He's order.

Liu He thought for a moment and said, "Gao Mian is leaving from the county town, so the journey is still long. Let's ambush in the forest in advance. Fourth brother, fifth brother, and Xiangzi, you three are most familiar with the conditions in the mountains here. Take a shortcut to the forest and make preparations in advance. You must bring back Gao Mian's head to pay tribute to the spirit of Manager Xu's family in heaven!"

"Oh, by the way, try not to make too much noise. Although we are not afraid of trouble nowadays, we should also try to avoid it and handle things cleanly."

Now his team has grown a lot. Before, to deal with a Wu County Lieutenant, he had to send out all his troops, set traps, and lure him into jumping, which took a lot of effort. But now, to deal with Gao Mian, he only needed to send three people over.

The sphere of influence has begun to expand, but I can reveal one thing, the protagonist will not stay in the countryside for too long, the current stage is just a transition, it will not be described in detail as before, and he will enter the city soon. As for how to enter and what to do after entering, hehe, please stay tuned
