Chapter 553: The mysterious Taoist Yu Ji?
Under the guidance of several guards, Li Yunfei quickly found a Taoist temple more than ten miles away. It didn't look like a mountain or dew. The hill was just a hillside, and the Taoist temple was also very dilapidated. The age is very old, and it does not seem to have any incense.
I didn't find the legendary old Taoist priest with white beard and hair, but I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest who was very black and thin. He didn't look like a Taoist priest, but an old farmer. , the old Taoist just wandered here for a night, but now he has been gone for a long time.
This black and thin Taoist priest seemed to be just an honest man, and he didn't seem to be lying. Li Yunfei didn't mean to arrest people and go back for interrogation. After asking a few words, he left and left.
"My lord, that person may know the whereabouts of some of the old Taoist priests, or should his subordinates arrest him and torture him?" Thirty-nine asked as soon as he debuted in the Taoist temple.
"No need, no matter whether the Taoist is a liar or not, there is no need to arrest people!"
"Why is this?"
"If it's a lie, then it must have something to do with that strange old Taoist priest. For an old Taoist priest whose ability is completely unknown and has no malice, it's better not to mess with it. One more friend is better than one more enemy. Bei. If we are telling the truth, then we don't need to wrong a good person for no reason." The old Taoist was obviously not simple, and Li Yunfei didn't want to make enemies for no reason.
"The lord has been worrying too much. The lord is invincible and strong, why should you be afraid to go to the old Taoist priest?"
"Don't be complacent, be humble, invincible is just a word of praise, how can there be truly invincible people in the world... Send some people around here, if you encounter an old Taoist, invite them back to see me, I really don't want to do it Just go back and let me know."
"That old Taoist Miss Qiao is sick, shouldn't she be arrested?" Thirty-nine obviously didn't like the old Taoist.
"Yes, please come back, but you have to explain it clearly, and your attitude should be better. That old Taoist is not ordinary, so you don't suffer!"
"……promise!"
"Also, please inform Lao Jiu by the way, and let him send someone to investigate the background of this Taoist temple and the background of the old Taoist priest!" After another order, he got on the horse and left. Li Yunfei is a very busy person now, not only has a lot of military affairs to deal with, but also a female patient and a frightened beautiful woman who need to be taken care of.
...
Since Peiping City has just been won, things don't seem to be much, and now without the help of a capable secretary like Xiao Qiao, many things can only be handled by Li Yunfei himself, so these days are really busy.
The biggest problem now is that many of Cao Cao's family members, in fact, many of his subordinates have proposed to cut down the roots of Cao Cao's twenty-something sons, but Li Yunfei really can't do it. Those children, it can be said that all of them are underage. There are many babies who are still in their arms, and they really can't kill that killer.
It is said that the reason why Li Yunfei did not directly release these people is actually to protect the group of orphans and widows in disguise. Li Yunfei himself did not want to kill too much, but he could not rule out some subordinates who could please him, misinterpreted his own meaning, raised The butcher did it for himself.
This kind of thing is not a random guess by Li Yunfei. Then Liao Li in Soochow was trained by himself. At that time, a group of elites in Soochow took advantage of the situation to rebel. Li Yunfei's meaning was just to kill the first evil. But that Liao Li dared to raise the butcher's knife, causing a **** storm, killing more than 2,000 people in one go.
At that time, some people took advantage of the opportunity of the attack of the Northern Alliance and the Allied Forces of Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and Liu Zhang to take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. In fact, only a hundred people actually participated in planning the rebellion. However, after those people were arrested, all their wives and children were killed by Liao Li. They were cleaned up together, and they were all wiped out. It was true that even the baby was not spared.
This matter makes Li Yunfei very painful. He has always declared to the outside world that one person does things and one person is responsible, and it is not as guilty as family members. . Although everyone can understand that for those who rebel, killing only the real family members is already very kind, but Li Yunfei's heart is still somewhat uncomfortable.
It's just that although I feel uncomfortable, I can't really punish Liao Li. Otherwise, it will probably make the hearts of those who work hard for him, and manage a huge country. If it makes all the subordinates feel chilled, then the country will also be cold. Ruined. It's just that this habit of copying and annihilating families at every turn does need to be corrected, but it can't be rushed, and people can only slowly change their habits.
...
After a few days of sleepless nights and meals, all the business strategies of the north have been formulated, and the affairs of Beiping City have been properly handled. After the arrival of the supplies in a few days, a part of the army will go north to reinforce Thirty-six, and Li Yunfei himself will also be at that time. I want the class teacher to return to the court.
This personal expedition took a little more than half a year, and he easily regained Jizhou and Bingzhou Youzhou, while Zhuge Liang had taken Liangzhou, and Jiaozhou returned to surrender, and now even Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have the intention of surrendering. So in general, in just over half a year, the new army in Xuzhou swept the world and pacified the Central Plains with an unstoppable momentum, which really made Li Yunfei proud.
The only thing I regret is that due to some mistakes in my calculations, in the final siege battle, more than 2,000 casualties were still caused. Otherwise, this northern expedition can be said to be flawless, and it will become a surrender without a fight. An example of a soldier of men.
Of course, the more than 2,000 soldiers who were killed and wounded can be completely ignored by others. What people see is that Li Yunfei is leading an army of 100,000 troops, marching forward with great success, and the cities along the way fled at the wind and looked down at the wind.
Now there are a large number of literati and writers who are flattering, and they have begun to write many poems and songs to praise Li Yunfei's great achievements, but in those poems, there will always be one or two sentences that are relatively ambiguous. In order to rob the legendary beauty Zhen Mi...
Hearing those sung poems, it can be said that several families are happy and some families are sad. Of course, it is Zhen Mi who is happy. Although she does not say it, she is of course extremely happy in her heart. By the way, the servants who serve her are also very honored. , I was in a good mood, and I collected those poems and essays everywhere for a collection.
It was Xiao Qiao who was worried. She was really in a hurry, so she hurriedly wrote a letter to her sister in Xuzhou and asked her to prepare more. After returning home, the sisters would work together to get Li Yunfei's attention back.
Li Yunfei, the party involved, is completely unclear about the situation. There have been a lot of things in the past two days. They have meetings every day to formulate strategies. What is going out for shopping in a vacuum? Of course, those subordinates will not talk nonsense to add to Li Yunfei...
"The identity of the Taoist priest, the lord, has probably been found out. It should be the Taoist priest Yu Ji!" After a few days of careful investigation, the general situation was finally clear, so I rushed over to report the investigation results to Li Yunfei, but this result really made Li Yunfei a little bit. Accident.
"Why is it him? According to the rumors, wasn't Yu Ji killed by Sun Ce?" Li Yunfei always suspected that the old man was from Zuo Ci, but he did not expect that it was Yu Ji who was supposedly dead.
"According to the subordinate's careful investigation, and also asking many soldiers who surrendered from Eastern Wu, according to what they said, Yu Ji was indeed caught and killed by Sun Ce because of 'demon talk to confuse the public', but the night Yu Ji was killed, his body was It suddenly turned into a blue light and disappeared, so the Yuji Daoist may not be dead."
"It's really so powerful, will it be spread and exaggerated?"
"I didn't see this matter with my own eyes, so I can't be sure, but my subordinates have asked several people, and they all said the same thing. It's not groundless!"
"...Forget it There is no need to investigate. This kind of strange thing is not something that ordinary people can handle... If you have nothing to do, go back and rest first!"
"The information network in the north of the lord has basically been built, and the subordinates want to develop outside the customs!"
"I don't think your mental state is very good. You can take your time with the intelligence network, but don't get tired of your body."
"Thank you so much for your concern, that is to say, I have been busy for a day these days, but I am usually not that busy. Now there are seventeen and eighteen brothers who have come to help, but it is much easier." The old man who has been in charge of intelligence work Nine, of course, I also want to find something to do for my subordinates, and I also want to upgrade a few more levels and get more favorable treatment.
"Okay, you can organize a report and send it to Lujiang City for the record. As for the money and food you need, I will give it to you."
"Thank you lord, my subordinates retire."
After getting a large amount of confirmation, Lao Jiu happily left the intelligence agency outside the border. There will be countless opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so if you can go back at night, you can be considered as your two good brothers. It’s worth going for a drink. Celebrate.
