Wen Yuanzhong was overjoyed when he heard that Lu Xu was back! Knowing Lu Xu's overall plan, he knew the significance of Lu Xu's return?
This time he could no longer hold his own airs, so he personally met with Lu Xu in the main hall of the Jinglue Mansion.
Although the two have worked together for a long time, this was the first time Lu Xu met Wen Yuanzhong.
After saying hello for a while, Lu Xu immediately reported the status of the mission to Wen Yuanzhong. When Wen Yuanzhong heard that Lu Xu had not only found the smuggling trade route that he had been thinking about, but also the lair of the bandits.
, he was no longer just a surprise.
He even felt a little frightened in his heart! He realized that he seemed to have underestimated Lu Xu's strength. He couldn't help but wonder, was what he was doing really the right thing? Was he feeding a tiger into danger?
But after a second thought, Wen Yuanzhong temporarily put aside his worries.
Wen Yuanzhong was never a loyal minister of Daliang, he was just a "minister". His struggle in this life was only for his personal glory and wealth.
Even if Lu Xu continues to grow and may threaten the stability of Daliang, it has nothing to do with Wen Yuanzhong. Because when Wen Yuanzhong was still Qin Fenglu's manager, Lu Xu must not have grown to an exaggerated level.
No matter how fast it is, it still takes time!
Even if Lu Xu's development can be so fast, maybe he can help Wen Yuanzhong win the war with the Beiting people. Then isn't Wen Yuanzhong a great achievement?
Anyway, after the battle with the Beiting people, no matter whether Wen Yuanzhong wins or loses, his Qin Feng Road manager will be over. By then he will definitely be transferred back to the capital. The difference is that it is about merit and deeds.
Reward or go to jail.
So will Lu Xu be too big to lose? That is a question that his successor needs to worry about.
Even if Lu Xu really becomes one of the major problems for the court in the future, it will be because his successor is incompetent and has nothing to do with him. After all, when Lu Xu was under him, he was a loyal and brave general who served the country! How did he end up in the hands of others?
Has it become a serious problem? It’s obviously the successor’s fault.
With this in mind, Wen Yuanzhong stopped studying Lu Xu's abilities in this battle.
This was actually what Lu Xu had expected. Lu Xu was sure that Wen Yuanzhong was a coolie who was temporarily brought in to support him. He would stay here for a short time, and for the sake of his own political achievements, he would not be in trouble with him.
That's why Lu Xu dared to show his power unscrupulously!
After sending all the information he had obtained, Lu Xu did not forget to remind Wen Yuanzhong: "Even if my subordinates find the location of their copycat, according to my observation, it will be difficult for us to catch them all in the copycat."
"If we want to deal with them, we still have to start on that smuggling route."
Wen Yuan carefully put away Lu Xu's map, and then said: "This is enough! As long as you grasp the location of this road, they will be dragged to death by us little by little! This time
If you can successfully annihilate those bandits, I will certainly remember you as a great leader!"
Lu Xu no longer cares about head skills or anything like that. According to Lu Xu's estimate, the Beiting people will definitely launch another attack on Qin Feng Road next spring at the latest. He still has about half a year to develop, and the imperial court's reward will come to him.
Said it was no longer necessary.
Lu Xu was only concerned about how to seize this smuggling trade route from the bandits. Soon, the two of them agreed on a battle plan against the bandits.
Their plan is mainly divided into two aspects. The first is to completely take over this trade road as his own! Wen Yuanzhong plans to find businessmen like Shopkeeper Liu who are willing to cooperate with the Jinglue Mansion to announce this road to the public. They asked the people from the Longmen Escort Bureau to be responsible for their safety.
As long as there are escorts from the Longmen Escort Bureau operating on the trade road, bandits will not dare to use this road for smuggling.
Second, Lu Xu will send a small force to monitor the movements of the bandits. Lu Xu will not take the initiative to attack them, but will monitor their actions. If their large force makes any move, Lu Xu will immediately send out troops. Facing the enemy, if they still make no big move, they will continue to seize the trade routes.
Based on the size of the village that Luo Yingyan saw, there were probably more than 20,000 men, women, and children living in the bandit's lair.
But their nest is located in a mountainous area, and there are no traces of farmland around it. It is obvious that their food mainly depends on external supplies, and the person who supplies them is obviously Shen Binhong.
As long as Lu Xu cuts off their financial resources and blocks their contact with the outside world, even if they still have food in stock, they will have nothing to do. From now on, the bandits will only become weaker and weaker, and Lu Xu wants to Forcing them to either fight with themselves or be trapped and starved to death by themselves!
According to Lu Xu's estimation, they would not have the determination to fight with him from the beginning. After all, they had just fought with him, and they obviously couldn't fight. Unless they had to, they would not seek death.
After all, being trapped to death by oneself and starving to death is just a slow way to die. They will not completely lose hope from the beginning, then they will not fight with themselves from the beginning.
But this is not good news for the bandits. Although Lu Xu did not besiege the city in the true sense, the bandits at this time were like people trapped in the city.
Under the long-term siege, the inside of the village must have been a scene of human tragedy. Lu Xu and Wen Yuanzhong both deliberately avoided the question. When the village runs out of food, what will the people inside the village rely on to make a living?
In fact, there is no need to consider this issue at all. There are too many records in ancient books!
However, even Lu Xu would not sympathize with the tragic situation of those bandits in the future. Because of their evil, even Lu Xu felt a little frightened after seeing them!
On the day of the decisive battle with the bandits, Lu Xu heard too many people calling him a bandit, and heard countless curses. Among those curses, Lu Xu recognized the bandits and ordinary villains. no the same.
When ordinary evil people do evil, they often find reasons for themselves to rationalize their criminal behavior.
But these bandits are different. They never think that what they do is wrong. The outlook on life in their entire village has been shaped into an extremely distorted way. They are incompatible with the order of any civilized society, but they want to Lying on the back of civilized society and sucking the blood of others.
Lu Xu would never stay in such a village!
In Lu Xu's view, they pose a greater threat to society than those real villains. They can't even be called humans anymore, they are real demons! Lu Xu will not hesitate to use any cruel means against demons!
