"Sanniang, what's the matter with you?" Wu Dong said.
"Since Weisheng and Fenyang are so empty and can be occupied with just a few soldiers and horses, why don't we divide our troops into three groups... Brother Wu, you go and occupy Weisheng City, Brother Lin goes to Fenyang City, and I take the rest of the soldiers.
Go and conquer Zhaode, Jinning and Gaizhou." Hu Sanniang said.
There was an eager expression on her face, and she was obviously eager to lead troops into battle.
Wu Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "Are you confident that we can conquer these three places?"
Hu Sanniang nodded and said: "There is no problem."
Wu Dong thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's do it this way. Brother Lin and I will each lead 1,000 people to occupy Weisheng and Fenyang respectively. You will lead the rest of the troops to conquer those three cities."
Originally, Wu Dong wanted to conquer Tian Hu's territory. He originally thought that he would have to go through a war and might have to pay a huge price. But now Tian Hu actually brought most of his troops to Puzhou, and now he wanted to conquer Tian Hu.
Tiger's territory is quite easy.
Hu Sanniang is very excited. She now likes the feeling of leading troops to fight, and enjoys the feeling of commanding thousands of troops to attack cities and conquer territories. She likes the military theories taught by Wu Dong in the military academy, and she wants to make the whole
The power of the army condensed into an iron fist, crushing the enemy fiercely.
At that moment, the troops were divided into three groups, and Wu Dong led 1,000 soldiers and horses towards Wei Sheng. Snow was falling heavily along the way, and the sky and the earth were pure white. A sentence suddenly appeared in Wu Dong's heart: "There is great beauty in the world, but I can't say it."
"Such magnificent mountains and rivers have been the place where the Han people have lived for thousands of years, and they must not be occupied by foreigners. Therefore, we must expel the Tartars, reform politics, and achieve the revitalization of the Chinese nation." Wu Dong secretly said.
He came from later generations, and his knowledge far exceeded that of other people of this era. He knew how big a threat the Liao people, Jin people, and Mongols posed to China, and he also knew what kind of path should be taken in the future to be basically correct, so as to prevent China from letting China go.
The nation declines.
In the original history, starting from the Song Dynasty, Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism were widely spread, emphasizing culture over military affairs, and using culture to govern military affairs. The combat effectiveness of the army became weaker and weaker. The Song Dynasty was invaded by foreigners, and 50 million Han people were massacred. Not to mention the Yuan Dynasty.
, the Han people lived like slaves. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties entered Shanhaiguan again and occupied the land of China. The Ten Days in Yangzhou and the Three Massacres in Jiading also killed tens of millions of Han people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, foreigners entered China and turned China into a semi-colony.
When Japan later invaded China, another 30 million Chinese people died. Until Wu Dong crossed over, the Chinese nation still had not regained its former glory.
It can be said that since the Song Dynasty, there has been a large-scale foreign invasion every few hundred years, and the Han people will suffer heavy casualties. On the one hand, it is the strength of the foreign people, and on the other hand, there are also the problems of the Han people themselves. The original farming system of the Han people was
Leading the world, but gradually began to fall behind. Culturally, Neo-Confucianism only emphasizes the unilateral loyalty of the people to the king. No matter whether the king is good or bad, he can sit firmly on the throne, unless there is a large-scale peasant uprising.
Or there may be a foreign invasion, otherwise the king would never be able to step down.
This culture and system are an important reason for China's backwardness.
Wu Dong not only wanted to expel the Tartars, but also hoped to make cultural and institutional reforms so that the Han people could rise again.
"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous... If you want to make complete changes, you still need countless... experiments." Wu Dong secretly thought.
Dai Zong followed Wu Dong, not knowing that Wu Dong was thinking about something, and said: "Grand Governor, there are only dozens of veterans guarding the city gates in Weisheng City now, and there are also dozens of guards in Tian Hu's palace. In addition,
There is no other force that can stop us. By the way, Tian Hu’s younger brother Tian Biao is also in Weisheng City, and he is now the highest-ranking official in Weisheng City.”
Wu Dong nodded and said: "After entering Weisheng City, we immediately occupy the four gates of Weisheng City and don't let anyone escape. Then we go to capture all the officials under Tian Hu."
Dai Zong said hurriedly: "Yes."
After only following Wu Dong for a few days, Dai Zong has already shown his incomparable "loyalty" to Wu Dong. In fact, he is also a bit of a villain, somewhat similar to Wu Yong. But for such a talented villain, Wu Dong not only does not
I hate it, but I also like it very much. Such villains are easy to control, obedient, and have no thoughts of their own. As long as Wu Dong is strong enough, these people will not betray Wu Dong, but will work for Wu Dong wholeheartedly.
Any capable leader likes such subordinates.

In Weisheng City, Tian Biao is in Tian Hu's "palace". Tian Biao is Tian Hu's third brother. After Tian Hu left, he will be here temporarily. He will be the first to notify him of anything in Weisheng City.
At this moment, he was walking around in a room, cursing constantly: "Damn it, why did you take all the troops away? If you leave some soldiers and horses for me, I can incite these people to rebel and make these people work for me.
You...his son is dead, so it’s my turn to take this position!"
It turned out that Tian Biao was disloyal to Tian Hu and wanted to replace Tian Hu in occupying this territory. Originally, when the rebellion first started, Tian Biao was still convinced of his eldest brother, but after his eldest brother became the king of Jin,
Tian Biao became more and more dissatisfied as he continued to act in the opposite direction, so he came up with this idea.
Now that there are no soldiers and horses in Weisheng City, he has no choice but to do anything. Even if he instigates some of Tian Hu's remaining subordinates in Weisheng City to rebel, he will definitely die when Tian Hu arrives with his army, so he has no choice but to
I'm guarding this place obediently.
At this moment, a soldier broke in and said: "General, something serious has happened."
Tian Biao was the "General of the Kingdom" named by Tian Hu. He immediately shouted coldly and said: "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The soldier had obviously come in after a long run. He was panting now and said: "General... there are... enemies who have invaded Weisheng City."
Tian Biao was surprised and said: "Who is he? Is it an official or an army officer?"
The soldier said: "They don't look like officers and soldiers. Looking at their clothes, they look a bit like bandits."
Tian Biao asked: "How many people are there?"
The soldier said: "There are probably more than a thousand people... When I saw the enemy entering the city, I hurriedly ran to report to the general. General, what should we do now?"
Tian Biao rushed toward the door of the room and said, "What should we do? Of course we ran away! Brother has taken away all the soldiers and horses, so what can we do to resist the enemy?"
Just as Tian Biao ran to the door, he heard the loud shouts of killing outside. More than a dozen guards ran towards Tian Biao. Behind these guards were layers of Liangshan troops.
"Damn it!" Tian Biao's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that the enemy had already reached the palace.
"Kill out!" Seeing the anxious-looking guards, Tian Biao hurriedly gave the order. At that moment, Tian Biao and the dozen or so guards were about to rush outside.
Tian Biao was also a famous master in the martial arts world at that time. His martial arts skills were not inferior to Tian Hu at all. Unfortunately, there are too many Liangshan soldiers now, and they formed countless spear formations. Tian Biao finally killed two people, and he was already
Several spears were pierced into his body.
As more and more spears were pierced into his body, Tian Biao was covered in blood. He did not know who the enemy was until his death. He left this world with endless unwillingness.

"Grand Governor, Tian Biao is dead. Several important officials and generals under Tian Hu are all under our control. The families of those officials and generals are also under our control. What other orders do you have?" Dai Zong came to Wu Dong.
, asked.
Dai Zong is also very excited now. He was greatly surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army and liked it very much. It was much stronger than the original grass bandits in Shaohua Mountain. It was a great thing for him to be able to join such a powerful organization.
thing. Moreover, Wu Dong's attitude towards him was very kind, and he felt that Wu Dong was quite a good person.
"Very good. Watch them carefully and don't let them cause trouble," Wu Dong said.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, there will definitely be no problems." Dai Zong said hurriedly.
Wu Dong smiled and nodded. After a while, Zhu Wu arrived, and Wu Dong said, "Mr. Zhu, how is the situation outside now?"
Zhu Wudao: "There is silence outside."
Wu Dong was stunned and said: "What's going on?"
Zhu Wudao: "All the people are hiding, and no one dares to come out."
Wu Dong said: "Let's go out and take a look."
At that moment, Wu Dong and Zhu Wu led a few soldiers towards the street, and found that the street was indeed silent, without a single figure or sound. On the street, the doors of the people's houses were tightly closed.
, no one kicked him out.
"Grand Governor, the people here have lived under Tian Hu's despotic power for many years, and they are all extremely timid. When they heard the shouts of killing outside, they naturally did not dare to come out," Zhu Wudao said.
In fact, the capture of Weisheng City this time did not cause chaos in Weisheng City. After all, Weisheng City had no defenders, and Liangshan captured it easily. Except for some shouts of killing in the palace, there were no shouts of killing in other places.
, but even so, the people in Washeng City were still too scared to go out and stayed at home one by one.
"Grand Governor, I have asked several people just now. The people here hate Tian Hu deeply. When they heard that we were Liangshan's army and occupied this place, they were happy and afraid at the same time." Zhu Wudao.
"Oh? What are you happy about? What are you afraid of?" Wu Dong said.
"What they are happy about is that Tian Hu was driven out, but what they are afraid of is that Tian Hu will come back." Zhu Wu said.
"What exactly did Tian Hu do? Why do the people hate him so much?" Wu Dong said.
"Tian Hu himself doesn't have much. He is just more luxurious, built a palace, and has many beauties under his command. In addition, he has hardly been out of the palace in the past two years. Many people have never seen what Tian Hu looks like. People
The main reason why they hate him is that his army has no order and no laws. He can kill whoever he wants and rob whoever he wants, so the people hate him deeply and are extremely afraid." Zhu Wudao.
"Tian Hu's rebellious behavior is good for us to rule here." Wu Dong said.
Tian Hu acted against the will, so as long as Liangshan brings order to the chaos, he will naturally gain the support of the people, which will naturally be conducive to his rule.
"Grand Governor, for the current plan, the first thing to do is to formulate laws to restore everything to order and make the people feel at ease." Zhu Wudao.
"That's right." Wu Dong nodded, praising Zhu Wu in his heart. He was indeed a real counselor, knowledgeable and foresight. When Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, entered Xianyang, because the laws of the Qin Dynasty were too strict, he and Xianyang
The people made a three-chapter law, "Whoever kills will die, and those who injure others and steal will not be punished." This removed the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty and won the hearts of the people. Today, Zhu Wu's idea is to formulate laws. Although it seems to be contrary to what Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty did, in reality
On the other hand, the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" written by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was studied and applied to establish order in a chaotic society and win the hearts of the people.
