After meeting Liu Jian, Li Xu told him about the experience of the cavalry's first song.

Of course, some fine-tuning was made in the content, such as the property, food and grass of Wangjiazhuang were either robbed by the thief army or burned in a fire, so basically this time it was a waste of time.

Liu Jian sighed and sighed, "The good and bad luck are taken by others and they will not say more."

The money, grain and materials that were searched were unexpected, so it would be best to get it back. If you can't get it back, it would be no big deal.

As long as the soldiers sent out of the village Yongying camp did not suffer any losses, these soldiers are now the cornerstone of Sanshui County's peace of mind, and Li Xu, the county lieutenant, is the Dinghai Shen Needle inserted into this cornerstone.

Just when Liu Jian thought that the thief army would continue to grow with the looted materials, it would cause even more disasters in the future, he couldn't help but sink a little.

After talking about the thief army looting the people everywhere, Liu Jian looked at Li Xu and asked: "What do you think the thief army has the purpose of capturing the people?"

The answer to this question is obvious. When you open the historical books, what the thief army can do is clearly written on it.

Li Xu said: "I think it's nothing more than just treating military slaves or robbers. Of course, there is another cruel thing that is that the thief army wants to use these people as flesh shields to attack the city in order to disrupt the hearts of the soldiers and people who defend the city."

Liu Jian's face narrowed, and obviously thought of this. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If the thief army is really so crazy, what solutions do you have?"

Li Xu said: "If the thief army really does this, we will be in a dilemma. If we insist on defending the city regardless of the lives and death of the people, then we may bear the bad reputation of not caring about the lives of the people and the lives of the people, and even the people's hearts will fluctuate, which will affect the morale of the army and give the thief army an opportunity to take advantage of."

Liu Jian nodded and obviously agreed with the consequences of Li Xu's statement.

Li Xu continued: "In my opinion, there are three ways to break the thief army's poisonous plan: First, send people to move the people around the county town into the city as much as possible, so that no one can catch the thief army;

Second, they sent cavalry to patrol and sweep the county town, expel and eliminate the thief teams that captured the people, and let them retreat in the face of difficulties;

Third, we send people to spread news in the city in advance that the bandit army may be forced to drive the people to attack the city, and once the defenders are in a hurry, they will attack the city. After the city is broken, the bandit army will massacre the people of the whole city to vent their hatred of defeat in the last siege.

In this way, if the thief army really does this, even if the people can't bear it, they will not blame us, but will point their hatred at the thief army. In this way, we will not be passive in public opinion."

After Li Xu finished speaking, Liu Jian pondered for a moment and nodded, "These three strategies are all feasible, but they are the limits we can do. You will preside over the first two points, and I will take responsibility for the third point. Do our best to do our best. Even if we move all the people near the county town into the city, the thief army can capture the people from other places. Alas, when the war is in progress, these people are suffering."

Li Xu bowed and said, "Uncle Liu is in love with the people and is indeed worthy of his parents' title. I plan to take people out of the city to inspect the surrounding terrain in a while, so as to better respond to the second attack of the thief army."

Liu Jian nodded and waved his hand to let Li Xu go.

The city defense and military affairs were originally hosted by Li Xu, and he could make the decision. He also said to Liu Jian out of respect.

This attitude must be achieved.

...

After returning to his county magistrate courtyard, Li Xu sent someone to send out the letter he wrote to Tan Lun last night. The contents of the letter were mainly two things: expanding the army and occupying Lijiazhuang.

Last night, Li Xu had already seen the resource data in the system background. The strings of numbers made him smile and feel happy.

This time, the total amount of gold, silver, copper coins confiscated from the Wang family and five other families was nearly 100,000 taels, and there were luxury goods such as gold, silver jewelry, jewelry, silk, silk, porcelain, and other valuations after the total price was about 45,000 taels.

In addition to these goods, the total of grains such as millet, wheat, soybeans, sorghum and millet is 10,000 stones.

Calculated by 120 jin of one stone, ten thousand jin is equivalent to one million.

Good guy, the fraction of this number alone is much more food than Li Xu’s previous hard work by killing thieves to earn experience value redemption for free support.

No wonder the ancient emperors loved to search houses so much. The amount of oil and water for searching houses was too great.

Who would have thought that a few rich people in the countryside had saved up so many possessions? If they had not seen it with their own eyes, many people would not believe it.

In addition to the large income of gold, silver and grain, there are also many other types of livestock such as coarse cloth, hemp silk, forage, various tools, farm tools, cattle, sheep, mules, horses, etc.

These add up to a large number, which really made Li Xu sigh again that the search for the house was so heavy.

When I was watching "The Deer and the Cauldron", Kangxi asked Wei Xiaobao to copy Oboi's home. Soetu and Wei Xiaobao and others divided half of Oboi's property. The remaining digital newspapers still made Xiao Kangxi furious.

At that time, Li Xu was envious of the fact that the house was searched was so good. Unexpectedly, one day he would be caught up with him.

Although he was only a few squire landlords, the gains had already satisfied him.

Now he is starting to look forward to a few more 25 boys in the city, so that he can make a fortune rightfully then.

With this money, he now has sufficient funds for expanding his army.

The town center is now in the colonial era, with a population limit of 5,000.

Li Xu planned to expand the quota of regular soldiers to 3,000 first, including two brigades of light cavalry, that is, five hundred; two musketeers, that is, four hundred; and two grenadier squadrons, that is, one hundred.

In addition to the light cavalry who transferred 300 people to his side, the remaining 200 light cavalry, musketeers and grenades were left to Tan Lun.

Because Tan Lun will have a lot to do next. In addition to guarding the Malan Mountain base, the rest of these soldiers will perform various tasks according to Tan Lun's arrangements.

The most critical firearm troops cannot appear in front of the government at present, and can only carry out some secret operations in private.

After all, the entire generation of muskets in the hands of these soldiers that surpassed this era will definitely attract the attention of the government once they are exposed. Although Li Xu does not feel that the government still has the strength to deal with him at this time, it will also make many things troublesome.

Only when Li Xu needs them to turn to the open will they be exposed to the world. Most of the worries now will not exist.

In addition, Li Xu expanded the spearmen and archers to 1,000 each.

These two thousand soldiers will be transferred by Li Xu to join the Township Yongchang, which will further ensure that he has absolute control over the Township Yongchang.

He speculated that if the bandit army could defeat the second attack on Sanshui County again, it would be not far from the day when Liu Jian was promoted.

Liu Jian said before that the court intended to set up a governor in North Guanzhong to take charge of the situation, and the candidate was to promote one from the county magistrates of each county in North Guanzhong.

Liu Jian has the ability and backstage. Now, with his own help, he has defeated the thief army twice. In other counties, he was either captured by the thief army or struggled to support him, Liu Jian's achievements will be as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

With the Song family endorsing him, the position of governor is almost certain.

When Liu Jian was promoted, Li Xu, the top contributor, would naturally rise with the flow of water. At that time, the subordinates would not be a small town camp, and their troops would definitely increase several times.

By then, these more than 2,000 direct soldiers will be the backbone and cornerstone of his military expansion after his promotion.

However, Li Xu estimated that by then, he would have saved enough experience value from upgrading the town center to the fortress era.

After the upgrade is successful, the population limit will definitely increase again, and the total number of direct soldiers will definitely expand to at least 10,000.

But let’s plan first, just plan, it is used to modify and not execute at any time.

Li Xu had already placed an order in the military camp last night and would arrive at the Malanshan base one after another in two days.

In addition, Li Xu also purchased 500 horses from the corral for the soldiers who stayed at the Malan Mountain base for transportation. In addition, some mules and horses obtained from the previous seizure and this time the house was raided, which greatly enhanced the mobility of all infantry soldiers left behind.

As for the spearmen and archers, they can only hike for the time being, otherwise it will definitely cause unnecessary suspicion.

In addition to the expansion of the army, Li Xu also explained in his heart the matter of letting Tan Lun occupy Lijiazhuang.

Li Qin took the initiative to propose that Li Xu accepted it happily, but the specific operation still needs to be carried out by Tan Lun.

Li Xu had only one request, so that the Chen family and his son knew that Lijiazhuang was permanently requisitioned by the officers and soldiers, and then left them a sum of money to send it to Yaozhou, and then asked them to shut up and not talk nonsense.

In short, this matter will not mention anything related to Li Xu or Li Qin.

As for whether Tan Lun knocked out and loaded the car directly or threatened and tempted him, he didn't care.

Once Lijiazhuang is taken down, Tan Lun will immediately expand and renovate, build the military base, the sentry tower, the arrow tower, strengthen the walls, dig and clear the trenches, etc.

The hundreds of acres of land in Lijiazhuang cannot be abandoned. In two or three months, the harvest season will be reached, so naturally it cannot be ruined.

Originally, the tenant farmers in Lijiazhuang were all given some money to leave, and then the fields were cultivated by the base farmers.

Therefore, Li Xu recruited all the remaining population quotas, bringing the number of farmers to 2,000.

It seems very unreasonable for two thousand farmers to raise three thousand soldiers, but Li Xu’s main purpose in raising soldiers is to steal and search the house, so these two thousand farmers just focus on farming and construction.

After sending the letter, Li Xu sent someone to send a message to Zhang Long, the Marquis of the First Cavalry, and asked him to take someone out of the city to patrol with him.

Although these cavalry had just returned, they were not tired. They hurriedly followed Li Xu out of the city after dinner.
