The First Assistant Teased Me and Gave Birth To a Cub

Chapter 1054: Not Willing To Go

Chapter 1054 Not reconciled

The man said again: “This group of bandits, General Wu also led people to suppress them the year before, and almost half of them were killed, but the rest hid in the mountains. The terrain in the mountains was complicated, and the army could not pursue them at all. General Wu led people to guard one. For many months, some bandits were caught sporadically. Later, Yutang Zhizhou came over and begged him to leave, because Yutang could not afford the food and grass for tens of thousands of soldiers.”

“Since this time, Zhizhou has never mentioned the issue of suppressing bandits again.”

Qi’er asked inexplicably, “The soldiers all have the approved food, which is allocated by the imperial court. Why do they need extra burdens from the local government?”

The    man smiled, “Young master, suppressing bandits is not an easy task, but it takes human life to fill it up.”

“Our army is not originally to suppress bandits, but to guard the border. Bandit suppression is an extra thing. If it doesn’t even benefit at all, then who would be willing to sacrifice their lives?”

“General Wu is willing, but the soldiers and officers below will not move without any benefit.”

“It’s just a little grain, what do you say?”

Qi’er and You’er were speechless for a long time.

In their hearts, the soldiers of Da Chu should protect their families and the country, so how could they still ask for benefits?

But this uncle seems to be right.

Bandit troubles are generally solved locally by themselves. After all, each state has 2,000 garrisoned troops to maintain local law and order.

The man said again: “After this group of bandits withdrew from General Wu, they gathered again. Now they are more and more powerful, and there are thousands of people.”

“There are old and weak women and children. They are still farming in the mountains.”

You’er thought for a while and then said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you report it to the imperial court, the imperial court can allocate a sum of money specifically to suppress the bandits.”

The man is really helpless, these two young masters have so many problems, it is fortunate that they met a man who understands him, otherwise they would not be able to explain clearly.

“First, the local prefect is definitely not willing to report it. There is a group of gangsters under his control, and they cannot be eliminated.

“Secondly, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits. It wasn’t that easy. The army came over and the bandits hid in the mountains. They were familiar with the terrain in the mountains. Ghosts know where they hid. Can the imperial army afford them?”

“The army may not be completely wiped out even if it takes a year or two.”

“What if it’s wiped out, there will still be new people going up the mountain to be bandits.”

Qi’er and You’er don’t know what to say.

In short, along the way, they can only say that many things in the world are not as simple as they seem.

A bandit, from the mouth of this uncle, it is simply an impossible task.

The    man cupped his hands and said, “After saying so much, I also ask the two young masters not to go to Yutang.”

“If the two sons don’t want to go back to Xiangcheng, General Wu said that they can go to Luanzhou to find Gu Zhizhou.”

Youer had long planned to come to Southern Xinjiang to see her grandparents and uncle, as well as her aunt and cousin whom she had never met before.

But that was all after helping my brother find Uncle Lin.

What to do now?

Aren’t you going to Yutang?

Ke Youer knew that Brother Qi would not be reconciled if he did not go to Yutang.

The man said his words and left.

You’er looked at Qi’er, “Brother, what are you going to do?”

Qi’er sat at the table, looked at the oil lamp on the table, and said quietly after a long while, “I’m all here, I’m not willing to visit Yutang with my own eyes.”

Youer nodded, “Then go.”
