The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 421 Waiting
After Changsun Ji finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and looked at everyone, especially Li Wen, who stayed for a little longer. He was the only literati present, and if he could offer opinions, he would be the only one.

Seeing that he didn't raise any questions, Changsun Ji went on to say, "There is one more thing, which is to suppress bandits."

Changsun Ji recounted to everyone what he had discussed with Wang Gang yesterday, and after finishing speaking, Changsun Ji looked at everyone again.

"Okay, I've been aiming to beat up those gerbils for a long time, but I never had the chance. This time, I can seize the chance. Don't snatch it from me. I'm going to be the vanguard." Changsun Ji's voice fell , the red-faced man Huang Luo said hastily.

"Haha, that won't work. Uncle Huang, you are already old, you should give me, a newly promoted little general, a chance to show off, otherwise, how can you let me establish my majesty in front of the gangsters under me? "Zu Qing stood up and said carelessly to Huang Luo.

"You brat, do you really think that Uncle Huang's eyesight is blurry? You said that the soldier under you was not convinced by you, and you still use this as an excuse. Or, do you think that Uncle Huang is old and can't carry it?" Knife?" Huang Luo gave Zu Qing a threatening look.

Changsun Ji watched the two quarreling, no matter who the vanguard was, these two meant that they agreed with this expedition to suppress the bandits.

Changsun Ji looked at Changsun Yi and Qian Luohuo again, and seeing the gleam in their eyes, they seemed eager to try.Changsun Ji already understood what the two of them were thinking.

However, this time, Li Wen was a little hesitant. He cupped his hands at Ji and said, "My lord, those bandits live in nowhere, come and go without a trace. It would be best if they could be eradicated directly." Yes. However, Changwei's current property capacity can no longer withstand too much conquest, if this time I still don't pay the bandits and make meritorious service, then there will be no extra storage in my Changwei's warehouse."

Changsun Ji frowned. This was not good news for him, but fortunately, there was still accumulation in Changwei's warehouse before, which was enough for this expedition.Up to now, whether this crusade is true or not has not become a foregone conclusion. It still depends on the situation at that time.

However, it is naturally impossible for him to say such a thing directly.Therefore, Changsun Ji glanced at Li Wen lightly, and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own plan."

Liangzhou is a place with a large area and few people, and the quality of the land is not very good, which is not very suitable for grain production. Therefore, compared with other states and counties, the imperial court's governance of Liangzhou is still a lot lax.

This also caused many prisoners who committed crimes in other places to escape to Liangzhou. In addition to Liangzhou's relatively lax law and order, the other is that Liangzhou is close to the desert. Run to the desert.

On the contrary, affected by this, the law and order in the major cities of Liangzhou is somewhat chaotic. This is also part of the reason why the people of Liangzhou have been tough for a long time. Some residents and common people carry sharp weapons on their travels.

If you want to manage these tough people well and suppress the big thieves, it is obviously not enough to rely on kindness and preaching alone, and you must have a strong force as a backing.

Compared with the city defenses around the capital, there are relatively more city defenders in Liangzhou, and some even have twice as many defenders than some places.

Too many troops will naturally increase the consumption of food. When there is no war, it is enough to provide soldiers with two meals a day, but once there is a war, they must have three meals a day, and one meal must be seen The meat is fishy, ​​otherwise it would not be able to satisfy the daily wear and tear of soldiers.This is also why Li Wen said that once the expedition is launched, the inventory may be exhausted.

After Changsun Ji finished talking about this matter, everyone discussed this matter again, and then dispersed, and began to prepare for the next war.

Changsun Ji looked at the leaving figures and murmured to himself: "The bait has been cast, and we are waiting for the fish to bite."

Changsun Ji didn't suspect these people, they were either old people in the mansion, or they had an irreversible friendship with Changsun Ji.Changsun Ji has enough confidence in them, but it is impossible for them to betray the Changsun family, which does not mean that their subordinates will not betray Changsun Ji. Changsun Ji threw out these things just to get these people out.

After everyone left, a person walked out of the screen behind Changsun Ji. This person sat down opposite Changsun Ji. It was the same horse trail that Changsun Ji had rescued and sent to Liangzhou.

"Brother Ma, I did as you said, and it's up to you next time." Changsun Ji looked at the man opposite and smiled lightly.

Originally, Changsun Ji wanted to let Wang Gang leak this matter yesterday, and then sat in the back quietly watching everyone's reactions before making plans.But Ma Ji vetoed it for him, and asked him to speak out about it in front of everyone.That's why today's scene happened.

"Hehe, everything is ready now, I only owe Dongfeng. When the time comes, I will invite General Changsun to watch a good show." Ma Ji also smiled lightly. When it comes to his own field, he has always is very confident.

Time passed by little by little, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the sky was getting dark a little earlier.After the grandson Ji had dinner, he ate loose food in the yard.

Wang Gang followed behind, and the two walked around while chatting, and they walked out of the East Courtyard before they knew it.

Originally, when Changsun Lianyi was still living here, the main house of Changsun Mansion was in the East Courtyard, but later when Changsun Lianyi came to Beijing, he only came to live in the East Courtyard when he worshiped his ancestors. The gate of the west courtyard at the back door became the main one.Especially in the city planning of Changwei a few years ago, the alley in front of the west gate was expanded, and this place became the main gate completely.

The East Courtyard Gate, which was originally the main gate, was slowly abandoned and became the back gate of Changsun Mansion.Generally, very few people passed through there. Every time Changsun Ji returned to Changwei from the capital, he usually passed through Ximen.

So during the walk after the meal, whether it was body memory or something else, he walked from the east courtyard to the west courtyard unconsciously.

By the time he realized it, he was almost at the gate, and the servants along the way all bent down to salute when they saw Changsun Ji. Changsun Ji felt a little annoyed, so he turned into a secluded tree-lined path along the way.

There weren't many people on the path, but it felt a little deserted. The whole path was covered with yellow leaves, and when you stepped on it, it was soft, as if you were stepping on silk.
