It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 347
Yuan Mu thought for a while, nodded, and asked, "Are there any other abnormalities?"

"Yes, I have carefully sorted out the records of the bandits' rebellion, and found that about ten years ago, the bandits were the most rampant in the four places. In the past three or four years, everything has become more peaceful.

In some places, such as Xisi County on the other side of Jiangzhou, the defeat of the bandits is inseparable from the repeated suppression of the bandits by the county magistrate Li Yuan, but in some places it is not the case. It feels that the local government did not spend much at all. If you have the strength to suppress the bandits, or if you have more than enough energy, there is no way to compete with the local bandits in terms of strength.

But those rampant bandits suddenly disappeared quietly and disappeared without a trace!This is very unreasonable. Generally speaking, once that kind of bandit takes over the mountain as king, becomes entrenched, and has its own power, how can they disperse for no reason!If you don't continue to burn, kill, loot, and expand your territory, it's not bad! "

Mu Liuyun was very puzzled by this point, and there was another thing that made her even more puzzled: "I have another discovery, if there is anything wrong, please correct me.

Regarding the time and place of these Bandit riots, I also have doubts. After all, Bandits are not farmers farming, so there is no difference in year and season. Whether it happened when it happened or where it happened, they are very scattered, and it feels like the south is south, and the north is north.

The time seems to have been discussed in advance. After a while of commotion here, as soon as it calmed down, there was another commotion at the other end, one after another, and things echoed, very strange. "

"There is nothing weird about this matter." Yuan Mu was not too surprised by what Mu Liuyun mentioned, but said to her, "If you still remember the names of the places where bandits alternately caused trouble, you might as well Listen to what I said.

Longgu, Xiashan, Fengzhou, Yanglu Pass.When you hear these place names, what impression do you have? "

"These places..." Mu Liuyun was stunned. She thought she would hear the places where the bandits were memorized by heart, but after hearing it, she found that there were no familiar place names. Thinking carefully about where the places Yuan Mu mentioned were, he soon realized, "The places where banditry happened, I mentioned are all in the neighboring prefectures, although are in the same or adjacent states, but are not too close to each other."

"The places I mentioned are all bordered by barbarian territories. Seven or eight years ago, there were incidents of barbarians crossing the border, burning, killing and looting. When I say this, can you think of anything?" Yuan Mu inspired Mu flow cloud.

"Fighting the east and the west?" Mu Liuyun immediately answered, "Because of the bandits, their numbers are large, and their methods are brutal, often the government officials in the state capital have no way to compete with them, so it is necessary to go to the local garrison. Borrow some soldiers and horses, so that when everyone is busy suppressing bandits here, they will be caught off guard by sudden barbarians coming from another place!"

"This is not the most interesting thing." Yuan Mu sneered, "It seems that such frequent actions are clearly intended to make a surprise move, to catch them by surprise, but in fact, during that time, whether it was bandits or barbarian cavalry, although Burning, killing and looting is very abhorrent, but there is no sign of wanting to attack the city.

They just took advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the officers and soldiers who encountered obstruction retreated while fighting, and fled in all directions. After a while, such things continued to happen in another place, and the cycle repeated.

Moreover, although bandit rebellion incidents have decreased a lot in recent years, such temptations to close the border have always occurred.

From my point of view, it is more like a deliberate play than a slap in the face. Although it is said that the people have been disturbed, the loss is not particularly large in general, and it has not reached the point where the people are destitute. The government and the garrison were exhausted and complained endlessly, and many of them became slack. "

Although Mu Liuyun didn't understand any major events in the world, he couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. As the saying goes, when he was mobilized to chase the barbarian cavalry for the first time, he believed that many officers and soldiers They are all high-spirited, but in the end, they run as soon as they chase each other, and run as soon as they chase each other.
After the garrisons in these places have recognized that the barbarians are only minor nuisances and cannot pose any real threat, I am afraid that no matter how hard they are to guard against them, they will become more and more contemptuous , becoming more and more disdainful.

Mu Liuyun had never dealt with barbarians, but she could deduce from the depth of the wound cut by the scimitar on the post-mortem grid that those barbarians were very strong, and maybe their physique was bigger than the ones they caught in Yuyong County before. Yuan Mu also said that the barbarian people are tough, brave and good at fighting, and the kung fu of opening and closing is very fierce.

They were obviously facing a pack of wolves, but they were only treated as a pack of mangy dogs. When the pack of wolves suddenly attacked one day, how could these officers and soldiers who were preparing to beat the dogs have any chance of winning!
Going further, if the Marquis of Yu and the commanding envoys on the frontier think that the barbarians outside pose no threat, and report this to the imperial court, then it is very likely that the number of troops stationed in the area, weapons, grain and grass reserves, etc. will also be affected accordingly. If it is reduced, what will happen one day, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable!
Thinking of this level, Mu Liuyun suddenly felt flustered, and his expression changed a little.

"In addition, there is a mountain in Fengzhou that was occupied by bandits ten years ago. The local government failed to attack it several times. About four years ago, that group of bandits suddenly dispersed. I don't know when people went to the mountain. It's like it just disappeared out of thin air."

Yuan Mu continued: "After they left, the local government re-examined the entire mountain, and found a huge pothole on the shaded side of the mountain. Inside the pothole were some dead bodies whose bones had been exposed, and their appearance could no longer be recognized. The government suspected that the bandits had a serious internal strife, and then fell apart."

"It's unreasonable." Mu Liuyun frowned, "Even if it's internal strife, people won't just disappear out of thin air! Look at the bandits in Xisi County, they're just a group of outcasts who don't make a name for themselves. They will still find ways to do something that can make money, and they will always be discovered by others. How can so many people live in seclusion silently!

Also, why is there a big pothole in San'in?Listening to what the adults mean, the pothole should not have existed in the first place, right? "
