Chapter 553 Mysterious Taoist Yu Ji?

Under the leadership of several guards, Li Yunfei quickly found a Taoist temple more than ten miles away. It seemed that there was no mountain dew at all. The hill was just a small hillside, and the Taoist temple was also very dilapidated. The age is very long, and it seems that there is no incense.

I didn't find the old Taoist priest with white beard and hair in the legend, but I saw a very dark and thin middle-aged Taoist priest. He didn't look like a Taoist priest, but an old farmer. After careful questioning, he found out Well, the old Taoist just wandered here for a night, but now he has left for a long time.

This black and thin Taoist priest seemed to be just an honest person, and his submissiveness didn't seem like he was lying. Li Yunfei didn't intend to arrest him and go back for interrogation. After asking a few questions, he left directly.

"My lord, that person may know some whereabouts of the old Taoist priest, why don't the subordinates take him back and torture him?" Thirty-nine asked as soon as he left the Taoist temple.

"No need, no matter whether the Taoist is a liar or not, there is no need to arrest him!"

"Why?"

"If it's a lie, then it must have something to do with that strange old Taoist. For an old Taoist whose ability is completely unknown and has no malicious intentions, it's better not to provoke him. One more friend is better than one more enemy. times. If what is being said is the truth, then there is no need for us to wrong a good man for no reason." The old Taoist was obviously not simple, and Li Yunfei did not want to make enemies for no reason.

"My lord, I'm worrying too much. My lord is an invincible and strong man. Why should I be afraid to go to the old Taoist priest?"

"Don't be complacent. Be humble. Being invincible is just a word of praise. There is no one who is truly invincible in the world... Send some people around here. If you meet an old Taoist priest, invite them back to see me. I really don't want to do it." Just go back and let me know."

"That old Taoist made Miss Qiao sick, shouldn't she be arrested?" Thirty-Nine obviously didn't like the old Taoist priest.

"Yes, please come back, but you have to explain clearly and have a better attitude. That old Taoist priest is not ordinary, lest you suffer!"

"……promise!"

"Also, let Lao Jiu know by the way, 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 his horse and walked away. Li Yunfei is a very busy person right now, he not only needs to deal with a lot of military affairs, but also needs to take care of a female patient and a frightened beautiful woman, of course he has no time to find the old man himself.

...

Since Beiping City has just been captured, there are not many things to do, and now without the help of Xiao Qiao, a capable secretary, many things can only be handled by Li Yunfei himself, so these days are really busy.

The biggest problem now is that Cao Cao's family members, many of his subordinates actually proposed to exterminate Cao Cao's 20-odd sons, but Li Yunfei really couldn't do it. There are quite a few babies who are still in their arms, and they really can't kill that killer.

Speaking of which, the reason why Li Yunfei didn't release these people directly was actually to protect these orphans and widowed mothers in a disguised form. Li Yunfei himself didn't want to kill too much, but he couldn't rule out some subordinates who could please him and misinterpreted his meaning. The butcher knife took care of things for him.

This kind of thing is not just guessing by Li Yunfei. Liao Li in Soochow was trained by himself. At that time, a group of gentry in Soochow took advantage of the situation to rebel. However, Liao Li dared to raise the butcher's knife, unleashed a bloodbath, and killed more than two thousand people in one go.

At that time, some people took advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Alliance and the Allied Forces of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang to revolt. In fact, there were only a few hundred people who really participated in planning the rebellion. However, after those people were arrested, their wives and children were all arrested by Liao Li. They were cleaned up together, and everything was wiped out, and it was true that even the baby was not spared.

This matter made Li Yunfei very painful. He has always declared to the outside world that one person does one thing and one person is responsible, and the crime is not as good as his family. But he said one thing, but his subordinates did another thing. It feels too hypocritical . Although everyone can understand that killing only the real family members of the rebels is considered very kind, but Li Yunfei still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It's just that although I feel uncomfortable, I can't really punish Liao Li, otherwise it is likely to chill the hearts of those who are dedicated to doing things for themselves. If you manage a huge country, if you make your subordinates feel chilled, then the country will also be punished. Ruined. It's just that this habit of ransacking families and exterminating clans at every turn really needs to be corrected, but it can't be too hasty, and people can only slowly change their habits.

...

After a few days of sleeping and forgetting to deal with food and sleep, all the business strategies in the north have been formulated, and the affairs of Beiping City have been properly handled. It is time for the class teacher to return to court.

This personal expedition took a little more than half a year, and easily regained Jizhou and Bingzhou Youzhou, while Zhuge Liang took over Liangzhou, and Jiaozhou came to surrender. Now even Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have the intention of surrendering. So generally speaking, in just over half a year, Xuzhou's new army swept the world and pacified the Central Plains with an unstoppable force, which really made Li Yunfei proud.

The only regret is that due to some mistakes in my calculations, more than 2,000 casualties were caused in the final siege battle. Otherwise, the Northern Expedition this time could be said to be flawless, and it would be a surrender without a fight. A model of a soldier of man.

Of course, the casualties of more than 2,000 soldiers could be completely ignored in the eyes of others. What people saw was that Li Yunfei led an army of 100,000, marching triumphantly all the way, and the cities along the way fled and surrendered.

Now there are a large number of sycophants and scholars who have begun to write many poems and poems to praise Li Yunfei's great achievements, but among those poems and poems, there will always be one or two sentences that are more ambiguous. In order to snatch the legendary beauty Zhen Mi...

Hearing those poems sung, it can be said that several families were happy and some were sad. Of course Zhen Mi was the one who was happy. Although she didn't say anything, she was of course very happy in her heart. By the way, the servants who served her were also very honored. , I was in a great mood, and collected those poems everywhere and compiled them into a volume.

It was Xiao Qiao who was a little worried. She was really in a hurry, so she hurriedly wrote to her sister in Xuzhou, asking her to prepare a lot. When she got back, the sisters would work together to get Li Yunfei's attention back.

The person involved, Li Yunfei, was completely unaware of the situation. There were a lot of things going on in the past two days, and meetings were held every day to formulate strategies. How could they go out shopping in a vacuum? Of course, those subordinates would not talk nonsense to make things difficult for Li Yunfei...

"My lord, the Taoist priest's identity has probably been found out. He should be Daoist Yu Ji!" After a few days of careful investigation, the general situation was finally clarified, so he hurried over to report the investigation results to Li Yunfei, but the results really made Li Yunfei feel a little nervous. 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 Zuo Ci, but unexpectedly it was Yu Ji who was supposed to be dead.

"According to the careful investigation of my subordinates, I also asked many soldiers from Soochow who surrendered. According to them, Yu Ji was indeed caught and killed by Sun Ce because of 'demonstration and confusion'. However, on the night Yu Ji was killed, the body It suddenly turned into a blue light and disappeared, so the Taoist Yu Ji might not be dead."

"It's really so powerful, is it going to spread rumors and exaggerate?"

"This matter was not witnessed by my subordinates with my own eyes, so I can't be sure. However, my subordinates sent people to ask several people, and they all said the same. I guess it's not groundless!"

"... Forget it, there's no need to investigate. This kind of weird thing is not something ordinary people can handle... If you have nothing to do, go back and rest first!"

"My lord, the intelligence network in the north has been basically completed, and my subordinates want to develop outside the pass!"

"I don't think your mental state is very good. The intelligence network can take your time, but don't exhaust your body."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I've been busy these days. I'm usually not that busy. Now there are seventeen and eighteen brothers coming to help, but it's much easier." The old man who has been in charge of intelligence work Nine, of course, I also want to find something for my subordinates to do to earn credit, and also to upgrade a few levels to get more generous treatment.

"That's fine, you compile a report and send it to Lujiang City for filing, and I will allocate the money and food you need."

"Thank you, my lord, this subordinate will leave."

After getting the confirmation, the old nine happily left the customs to develop the intelligence agency. There will be countless opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so if he can go back at night, it can be regarded as his two good brothers. It is worth going to have a drink Celebrate.
