Xu Xiongyuan really had a relationship with the Jiangnan tycoons.
Among the strategists, those who can speak and talk take the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Jiangnan tyrants. It was half coercion and half lure. For the Yu clan in the south of the Yangtze River, they even offered their daughter to Xu Xiongyuan as a concubine.
The bosses all got on the pirate ship, and the rest were persuaded half-shoved. Some smart people felt that this was wrong, so they fled to the countryside overnight, preferring to throw away their wealth rather than conspiracy with Xu Xiongyuan.
Naturally, Xu Xiongyuan thinks that he is good at talking, you don't want to cooperate with him, you can, people can get away, and the money will stay.
Liu Yan secretly wrote down these tyrannical figures, and later notified the supervisory office lurking in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the same sentence that the sage likes honest merchants very much.
When Xue Yuan rushed to Jinghu Lake, the tyrants who got on the pirate ship also planned to use their own power to pull other tyrants on board as much as possible.
The more people there are and the bigger the riot, the more precarious the emperor is. Maybe there is no need to start a war to waste soldiers and horses, and the court will take the initiative to drive the emperor down and take the initiative to welcome Xu Xiongyuan
Xu Xiongyuan did just that, dreaming about the court, the capital, and the throne day and night.
Liu Yan protected Xu Xiongyuan's dream like he was protecting a child's childhood dream. When Jiangnan tyrants contacted foreign forces, whenever Xu Xiongyuan's face showed a longing for the future, Liu Yan nodded with a smile: "General, do you want Everything we want will come true. Whatever we want, you have to do it, General."
His tone was gentle, full of hope and piety. Whenever he finished saying something he agreed with, Xu Xiongyuan would be moved to hold his hand, and sighed loudly: "I, Xu, have Liu Xiaoyou as a confidant, husband. What more can you ask for?"
Every time Liu Yan smiled, he would smile without saying a word.
Jingnan and Jiangnan borders.
The three-party garrison surrounded the place tightly, and the envelopes sent by the tyrants in Jiangnan were completely stopped by the three-party garrison, detained by the troops, and even the carrier pigeons would be beaten down to add meat. Wings are also difficult to fly.
The people who sent the letter to the south of the Yangtze River were all incredulous, until they were tied and rudely thrown aside, they didn't know that the officers and soldiers of the court were guarding the border between the two places.
what the hell...
The messengers felt chills and goosebumps all over their bodies. When they looked left and right, they saw the densely packed garrison standing upright, and they couldn't even see their heads at a glance.
Immediately, his eyes darkened, and he felt dizzy.
People in the province are still studying how to rebel and how to usurp the throne, while outside the province, the emperor's troops are watching. The chill that rushed up from the spine like this even made many people's knees go weak and suffocated.
The emperor was watching them rebel.
They couldn't breathe, and they kept wailing and roaring in their hearts, hoping that those people in the province could hear what they said in their hearts, and then hurriedly ran away, don't rebel!
Lord, don't rebel, hurry up and run with their wives and children, the emperor's people are here! The emperor knows! ! !
Because of the rush of time, the eyes of the entire Jiashen Association were on Haoqiang. In the homes of the common people, apart from being looted by several troops and horses, the casualties were not bad.
Xu Xiongyuan's troops spread from Huaihua to the surrounding Fuzhou and counties. As a result, 20,000 young adults who had never been on the battlefield and killed people were recruited in Jinghu Lake. Now food is scarce in the two provinces, but after many tyrants opened their private stores, There were batches of food in there, and Xu Xiongyuan's eyes turned green.
With so much food, even if Xu Xiongyuan raised 50,000 soldiers and horses, he wouldn't have to be afraid. The emperor's granary probably couldn't compare!
Xu Xiongyuan laughed immediately, and immediately sent people to transport the grain to the army, and they all opened their stomachs to eat. The tyrants who were robbed of food had stiff smiles on their faces, and their hearts twitched in pain, but they dared not speak out.
Xu Xiongyuan directly understood this cooperation as what the tyrants belonged to. The rich and powerful family had no choice but to open the door. They could only watch Xu Xiongyuan lead the troops to loot and loot, and it was called logistical support.
The multi-year assets of many tycoon families have completely vanished. Only then did I realize that Xu Xiongyuan's previous politeness was all pretentious. When the interests are related, whoever you are, you are already on the pirate ship anyway, can you still join the court halfway
If people who have soldiers in their hands do not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, they are a group of robbers and hooligans!
Xu Xiongyuan has been living a good life recently.
The young and middle-aged people in Jiangnan are also being robbed by him in the military camp. It has been more than ten days, and there is no news of the surrounding garrison attacking. Xu Xiongyuan often said to the people around him, "Maybe the dog emperor really can't live anymore."
The people around him boasted endlessly, giving Xu Xiongyuan the most comfortable flattering experience. They are also taking advantage of this respite, preparing to think of a righteous and awe-inspiring excuse for rebelling.
Today, the emperor is diligent in administration and loves the people, and his anti-corruption activities are well supported by the people.
In the end, the members of the Jiashen Society decided to use the shortcomings of Lu Feng's reign to refute the current government.
Regardless of whether they are the drawbacks of their mentor, Lu Feng, for example, the local tyrants are powerful, and the fact that people's lives have been abused to do evil is the reason why you, Gu Yuanbai, have not dealt with it well!
In short, it's not your fault, it's also your fault. If you don't do anything wrong, how can we rebel
While the people of the Jiashen Society were intoxicated with the wealth of Jiangnan, Xue Yuan and General Dingyuan also rushed to Jinghu Lake with 10,000 soldiers.
After they made a route and battle plan with the generals of the garrison, they took a long detour from the outside, and took people from the border of Dayue to block the end of Jiangxian Road from the rear to prevent this final retreat.
And the garrison has received the news, the whole army is ready to enter Jiangnan to clear the rebel army!
Stationed for more than half a month, the generals are gearing up for each other, flags and flags are flying in the air, and they are about to get this military merit!
The army marched, the dust fluttered, the ground moved and the mountains were far away, the garrison approached from three directions, and left Jiangnan in an instant.
The despairing mood of the people who fled along the way has not been put away, and they see that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been neatly equipped and come towards them. These people were stunned, unable to move a step.
Every time the soldiers encountered the victims, they would place them in the rear, and distribute a large amount of food purchased by the Supervision Office to the common people. Some of the common people had not eaten for two or three days. There are two lines of hot tears on the haggard and withered face.
Only then did I know what it means to be a soldier in the country, and I felt that the taxes paid on weekdays were not wrong, not at all!
As soon as Jiangnan was in chaos, the imperial court sent people. This gave people a sense of security. After the fleeing people had finished resting and ate their fill, they thought about it and changed their route. They were far behind the soldiers, wanting to follow the army back to their hometown.
Following behind this group of officers and soldiers, I feel confident and confident.
It was already two days later when the people of the Jiashenhui heard that the imperial court had sent troops to Jiangnan, and at this time, the imperial court's troops had already approached Longxing Mansion, which was only two hundred miles away from where Xu Xiongyuan was located.
Xu Xiongyuan felt absurd.
Not long ago, the tyrants in Jiangnan sent a letter, and the world seemed to be gathering on Xu Xiongyuan, but inexplicably, why are the imperial troops and horses a hundred miles away
Heavenly Soldier
Xu Xiongyuan felt very flustered. In addition to the fluster, there was also the anger of being slapped in the face in public. He summoned the people from the Jiashen meeting, and his tone was irritable during the discussion: "Do you have a good solution?"
When the people from the Jiashen Association heard this, they were also stunned.
They have just persuaded Haoqiang and brought Haoqiang on the pirate ship. They have just evacuated several granaries. This is a good situation, but the court's troops and horses are only two hundred miles away? !
The panic spread in the lobby, and everyone's face showed a little unease.
Someone tried to calm down and asked with hope: "General, how many soldiers and horses did the imperial court send?"
"I've already gone to inquire," Xu Xiongyuan said angrily, "when did they come, we have no news at all!"
"It came so suddenly, I'm afraid it's not a long-distance attack," Zhao Zhou said solemnly, "but the scale of the long-distance attack army must not be too large, but..."
Zhao Zhou always had a bad premonition in his heart, he couldn't help but said: "General, is it too smooth for us to occupy Jinghu Lake and invade Jiangnan?"
The officials in Jingnan also struggled symbolically, and the local officials in Jiangnan had already run away. The sudden rise in food prices, the news of the plague from outside, and the sudden shortage of food... Inexplicably caused the Jiashen Association to start a rebellion.
Confused, by the time Zhao Zhou got the news, Xu Xiongyuan had wiped out all the tyrants in Huaihua Mansion.
Everyone in the lobby was confused and uneasy.
Two hours later, the cavalry who went to inquire about the news came back in a hurry, fell into the lobby, and said in horror: "General, there are court officers and soldiers on three sides, at least 20,000 people at a rough glance!"
Xu Xiongyuan stood up abruptly.
The hall was shocked by these words and it was quiet.
Xu Xiongyuan's facial expression became uncontrollable, "Gu Lian!"
Liu Yan stood up immediately, he walked into the hall and bowed deeply towards Xu Xiongyuan, "Jiangnan does not have the natural dangers of Jinghu Lake. Once the imperial army and horses are surrounded on three sides, we are destined to be unable to escape. I also ask the general to return to Jinghu Lake quickly, and the villain will stay in Longxing Mansion and try his best to delay the imperial troops and horses."
Xu Xiongyuan was immediately moved with tears in his eyes, "You did this for me—"
Liu Yan sighed and said solemnly, "General, please hurry back on your way back. The 20,000 imperial soldiers are no more than two hundred miles away from me. If they rush, it will be too late!"
"You're right, you're right," Xu Xiongyuan murmured, panicking, "I assigned 15,000 people to Mr., and I'll leave it to you here!"
Liu Yan nodded, and everyone in the hall admired his character and couldn't help showing a bit of admiration. Zhao Zhou also suddenly stepped forward at this moment, stood beside Liu Yan and said solemnly: "General, I would also like to stay here."
Xu Xiongyuan covered his face and wept, and was greatly moved, "I am Xu, what kind of virtue and what ability, can I have the help of these two gentlemen!"
After he finished crying, Xu Xiongyuan immediately sent someone to go to Jinghu Lake with grain and money, and there was too much grain, and it was a waste of time to deal with it. Liu Yan persuaded: "General, leave the green hills so that you won't worry about no firewood, you should take care of your life first, this is the most important thing."
Xu Xiongyuan had to reluctantly put down most of his food and money, and hurried back to Jingnan with 5,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 newly recruited soldiers.
The 15,000 people who left Longxing Mansion are actually newly recruited recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Among them, there are 11,000 people from Jing Hunan, and the rest are the newly recruited Jiangnan people in the past few days. people.
Looking at such a soldier, Zhao Zhou's face could not help but show a bit of despair. Soon, he calmly said: "Brother Liu, let's build the city wall high, dig trenches, and prepare things to defend the city."
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay."
Xu Xiongyuan escaped in time, and when he and his soldiers escaped, the tyrants in Jiangnan suddenly reacted, why are there half of the soldiers in the city
A bad premonition arose in their hearts, and they sent someone to ask, but when they got the news, they were so angry that they fell to the ground.
Xu Xiongyuan, Xu Xiongyuan escaped! The court has sent troops!
The family property has just been taken away by the rebel army as a military salary, and now they will be dealt with by the emperor as a rebel army again.
Many tyrants fainted in despair.
On the second day, the people guarding the city felt the vibration of the ground stones from a distance. Liu Yan and Zhao Zhou climbed the city wall. After two quarters of an hour, they saw a black army attacking from a distance Come, the yellow sand filled the sky, Zhao Zhou's legs were soft, and he almost had to support Liu Yan to stand.
Liu Yan said warmly, "Brother Zhao, don't be afraid."
"How can I not be afraid," Zhao Zhou stood firm with a wry smile, and cheered for himself and Liu Yan, "but since ancient times, it has been easy to defend the city and difficult to attack. , it must be enough for me to hold on for more than a month."
Liu Yan sighed, "I think Yueyu is too long."
Zhao Zhou looked at him, his eyelids suddenly jumped, "Brother Liu, what does this mean?"
Liu Yan smiled and turned to go down the city wall. Zhao Zhou felt uneasy, and followed closely behind him, and kept asking, "Brother Liu, what does this mean?"
The sound of the soldiers and horses outside gradually approached, and his feet could feel the vibration of the army pressing the city. Liu Yan walked quickly to the city gate after getting off the city wall. His pace was getting faster and faster, and Zhao Zhou could no longer keep up with him. , Liu Yan walked to the city gate and said loudly, "Open the city gate to welcome my Master Wang!"
Zhao Zhou was abruptly startled, and the chill came from behind him. He looked at Liu Yan in horror, almost fainting, "You—"
What made him tremble even more was that the gate guard actually listened to Liu Yan's order and opened the gate cleanly.
The strong wind swept through the city with the roar of the horses. Liu Yan tidied up his clothes, strode out of the city gate, and said to the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushing towards him: "Is the person here Lu Yanmao General Lu?"
The leading cavalry guarded the leading general and rushed all the way to the city gate. General Lu got off his horse, haha, and said, "It's right here!"
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Xiaguan Dingyan, I have seen the general."
"Xiaguan lives up to his mission," Liu Yan said loudly, "Grant this Jiangnan to His Majesty Zhao Yu! Give all these 15,000 soldiers to the general."
What Zhao Zhou didn't understand when he saw this, he clutched his chest and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, shock and anger mixed in his heart.
They were caught in the emperor's strategy from beginning to end. From the very beginning when Liu Yan joined the general, they were already led by the emperor's nose!
Zhao Zhou was in a hurry, and his back was chilled. Under several violent emotions, his eyes darkened and he fainted directly to the ground.
Which of the tyrants in the city turned to Xu Xiongyuan, and which tyrants escaped, Liu Yan knew clearly, he smiled slightly, and said, "Then please trouble the general to capture all the rebels in the city."
Xu Xiongyuan was still on his way to flee to Huaihua Mansion.
He had no idea what was going on in the Jiangnan Longxing Mansion behind him, nor did he know that Liu Yan, whom he trusted wholeheartedly, was the one sent by the emperor to him. He is still mourning with the people around him: "Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao are all because of me. If the dog emperor attacked the city, he still doesn't know how to abuse them!"
The food and gold and silver in the south of the Yangtze River are full of food, gold and silver, but the prosperous south of the Yangtze River is gone!
The people around him comforted: "The general left 15,000 soldiers to the two gentlemen, and he has done his best."
Xu Xiongyuan sighed: "I hope the two gentlemen are safe and sound."
Everyone knew that the 15,000 soldiers were useless, and they knew that the two of them would definitely be more fortunate than others, but there were some things that they knew in their hearts and couldn't say them out.
A group of people rushed to Huaihua Mansion day and night. When they just returned to Huaihua Mansion, before the city gate was raised, sentries scattered out to report, and a large number of court soldiers chased after them.
Xu Xiongyun was immediately stunned, "Didn't Liu Yan and Zhao Zhou stay in the rear?"
The sentinel who came to report hurriedly said: "General, run! It's too late to think about this!"
Xu Xiongyuan's face was full of ashes in an instant. He didn't know what was going on. A few days ago, the situation was good, but now he was forced to flee back to Jingnan, and after fleeing back to Jingnan, where else could he escape? Woolen cloth
Jinghu Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way to escape is being chased by the enemy. Xu Xiongyuan is extremely frustrated, "Am I going to be trapped in Huaihua Mansion today?"
In the sky and in the ground, many people followed with despair on their faces. No matter what, they couldn't figure out how the officers and soldiers of the imperial court suddenly appeared, and why did they follow so quickly
There was no one in the room for a while, and after a long while, a customer suddenly shouted, "General, there is still a way out in Jinghu Lake!"
Xu Xiongyuan was shocked, "What?"
Menke said: "There is a thrilling and winding road behind Jinghu Lake called Jiangxian Road. Behind Jiangxian Road is Dayue's territory, General! Now that we have no escape, it is better to flee to Dayue. General has soldiers in his hands. , can also play a world in Da Yue!"
Xu Xiongyuan was refreshed, and quickly took the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he patted the table again and made a decision, "Then take the Jiangxian Road!"
Because the enemy in the rear chases again, it may be a long-distance chase. Xu Xiongyuan did not dare to waste much time, and the army's salaries also gritted his teeth. He only asked each soldier to bring three days' rations, and immediately headed towards Jiang Indica Road. And go.
Jing Hunan was left behind by him, and Xu Xiongyuan was driven to the next place like a stagnant dog, and he had long lost the fighting spirit of the previous days. And his soldiers also lost their fighting spirit because of the constant running away these days, their expressions shrank, and even the slightest disturbance can make them panic. Indica Road.
Jiangxian Road is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will lead to a cliff. Some horses don’t even dare to step on Jiangxian Road. They have to be slaughtered and abandoned by Xu Xiongyuan.
And Xue Yuan, who was waiting at the end of Jiangxian Road, was waiting for this group of rebels who were like lost dogs.
After the rebels finally walked through the thrilling Jiangxian Road and finally stepped on the flat ground, they even just raised their expressions of rejoicing and escaping, and the next moment, this expression condensed on their faces.
The soldiers of the imperial court who had been in ambush shouted and rushed out, and the black soldiers were even more terrifying than evil spirits in the eyes of these fleeing people. The smile that just appeared on Xu Xiongyuan's face froze on his face, his eyes widened, his expression seemed to be laughing and crying, very strange.
The flag was flying, and the big word "Heng" on it was reflected in everyone's eyes.
Each of Daheng's soldiers is equipped with experience and strong physique. They stationed their guns and drew their swords to block every escape route, watching the expressions of the rebel army.
Xue Yuan paced a few times on the spot on his horse and laughed loudly: "Sacred Shang Shengming, send me and others to be stationed here, General Dingyuan, look, what is here?"
General Dingyuan laughed aloud: "General Xue said, isn't this the leader of the Rebellion Army of the Lost Family Dog?"
The enemy army is already showing signs of disintegration, and the people behind have turned around and ran towards Jiangxian Road. Many people even fell into the abyss because of panic and fear in their hearts.
The fear and anger in Xu Xiongyuan's heart rose together, he raised the knife, and said with a grim expression: "Is there no one in the court?! He even sent a boy who didn't even grow his hair to arrest General Ben! Battlefield?!"
Xue Yuan's expression was playful, "Are you talking about Lao Tzu?"
The rank of the Du Yu marquis is from the fifth rank, and the rank of the Dingyuan general is the fifth rank. But the sage ordered Xue Yuan to be the main general. General Ding Yuan was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He knew Xue Yuan's greatness, so he had no idea. Hearing Xu Xiongyuan's words at this time, he laughed out loud.
Xu Xiongyuan just thought he was mocking him, and he sneered and took up his weapon, "You kid, today I, Xu Xiongyuan, want you to see the cruelty of the battlefield. It seems that the court really can't send generals, even you. Xiao Maotou can become the main general! When I behead your neck, just let the dog emperor see how powerful I am!"
Xue Yuan pulled out the big sword. The big sword was sharpened by him these days while waiting to kill the enemy. He looked at Xu Xiongyuan and smiled, "Interesting."
The court is victorious!
The 20,000-strong garrison of the three parties hardly played a major role. They just killed those tyrants who had turned to the rebels, seized their property, and then strictly blocked the news of Jingnan and Jiangnan in the two places. , did not leak the slightest sound of the wind.
Under the guidance of the Supervision Office and Dong Lingwei, the people suffered less damage than expected, and Gu Yuanbai made arrangements for the lost food and trampled houses. After the affairs of Jingnan and Jiangnan were thoroughly dealt with, the "Daheng Guobao", which had slowly developed from the capital to the surrounding areas, reported the incident.
Only then did other people from other provinces know that there was a war in Hunan and Jiangnan, and the rebels robbed the powerful people of the two places, and pacified the local powers for money and food. Fortunately, the court responded quickly and dealt with it in a timely manner. No more harm was done to the people.
It's just that many tyrannical merchants were completely killed by the rebels. These rebels had no humanity, and their leader Xu Xiongzhi brutally set fire to most of the Huaihua Mansion!
As soon as the news came out, the entire capital was shocked.
Immediately it was yelling!
As the sage's royal pen, San Yuyan stood up for the first time to praise the benevolent actions of the sage and denounce the greedy and cruel rebels. He wrote an extremely wonderful article, which makes people want to mention it when read. Dao personally went to Jingnan to stab the rebels. The text also delicately and tragically described the painful and desperate experiences of the people in these two places during the war and fleeing.
In the end, Chang Yuyan appealed to everyone: "Jing, Hunan and Jiangnan have been injured and damaged by the anti-envoys. The people have nowhere to go. They cry every day. Mi, do your best for the people of this place."
As soon as this article came out, because the writing was really good, it quickly spread all over the country and was known by scholars.
It was also at this time that these scholars learned about Jingnan and Jiangnan, and after grief and tears over the words in the text, large sums of money went to the court.
After reading the letter sent by the garrison to form a gang that was robbed from the hands of the tyrants, Gu Yuanbai also roughly understood the relationship and interests of the tyrants across the country. He got one or two pieces of information from the letter, and when he finished sorting out these things, he heard the news that donations were shipped from all over the country to the capital.
He took a look at the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, and both of them were a little surprised. When he heard that the person had counted and reported the specific amount, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing directly took a breath, was supported by the eunuch tremblingly, and turned his head. Looking at the emperor, suddenly his head twitched and he said, "Your Majesty, where do we still have the rebel army?"
This is true too! It's so lucrative!
