A piece of material in the Xiangyang treasury was being moved out of the treasury and into the hands of Liu Pan, who then used these materials to recruit troops around Xiangyang.
Liu Pan looked at these materials and was delighted in his eyes. With these materials in military posture, he could expand his armaments, military power, military power, Liu Pan is now completely obsessed with this. At the beginning, Liu Pan Pan was kicked out of Xiangyang. He, Liu Pan, vowed at the beginning that he would stand in this Jingzhou and become the master of this Jingzhou. His life on the border let Liu Pan know that all identities are false, and only one is true. That is military power. In this troubled world, as long as you have military power, you can control wealth and power, and even protect your life.
If Cai Hao didn't have 30,000 Cai Jiajun and Zhang Yun, he would have been imprisoned by Liu Biao long ago, and he is still under house arrest in the mansion now.
"Congratulations, my lord. With this 50,000 army, my lord's great cause will go a step further!" Liu Pan's deputy general congratulated Liu Pan with his hands clasped.
"Hahahaha!" Liu Pan was very happy in his heart, "Although with the 50,000 troops, the Jingzhou iron cavalry and the Wuling elite soldiers in my hands, Jingzhou has become a force, but the Yangzhou soldiers and horses are like sticks in their throats!" Liu Pan is not Fool, although he obtained the right to form 50,000 troops from Liu Biao, he also knew that this was a consequence after the Wenpin army was wiped out and the Jiangxia navy surrendered. He Liu Pan wanted Jingzhou doesn't want a nearly destroyed Jingzhou. "My lord, why worry! Jiangling City has a high gate, as long as Jiangling is not broken, Jingzhou Nanjun will come back sooner or later! As for the Jiangxia generation, wait for the lord's 50,000 army to form, and they will definitely be able to take it back from the Yangzhou army!" The deputy general comforted Liu Pan.
"That's right! The most urgent task now is to make the 50,000 army into shape!" Liu Pan nodded. It's not that Liu Pan has never heard of the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Army. Knowing that the Yangzhou Army is an elite soldier, Liu Pan is also very confident in his subordinates. Liu Pan has always wanted to fight the Yangzhou Army.
While the two were still discussing. There was a sudden dispute at the recruiting place over there, and the people around were besieged.
"What's going on?" Liu Pan frowned noisily as he looked over there. The deputy general at the side quickly sent someone to check it out, and after returning, he reported to Liu Pan, "Report to my lord, there are some unruly people over there, and they don't want to be drafted into the army!"
"En?" Liu Pan frowned listening to the words of the lieutenant general. Although he had Liu Biao's consent and support to recruit soldiers and horses, as well as Liu Biao's supplies, this person was also to be recruited in Xiangyang.
But in Xiangyang, there are generally some wealthy families. Liu Biao may not be able to do other things, but he also has some insights in dealing with the governance of the people. He used the Kuai brothers to give the people fertile land and open up waterways. These made Xiangyang the political and economic center of the entire Jingzhou, and because of the geographical environment Therefore, there is no war in the Jingzhou mansion, and the people from other nearby states all came to Xiangyang to avoid the war, making Xiangyang city even more prosperous. Therefore, the people near Xiangyang either have their own fields at home, or they have some shops and family businesses. The people who join the army in other places are those who have no choice but to eat. After all, the food for soldiers is not good, so why join the army and become a general. That's even more nonsense. Generally, 80% of the soldiers who joined the army died in battle, and only 20% survived. 80% of the 20% were disabled or otherwise, and only 20% of the 20% could become the official positions of some school lieutenants.
So there have always been good irons who don't make nails, and good men who don't serve as soldiers. How can it be possible for you to let these common people with surplus money go to serve as soldiers? The reason why Jingzhou soldiers and horses have never been able to beat Jiangdong's army is that Jingzhou soldiers and horses wear shoes, while Jiangdong people are barefoot. Those who are barefoot don't care if the big deal is death, they are very bachelor anyway. But shoes are different.
The family who wears shoes has surplus money, and even has wives and daughters. Naturally dare not fight to the death.
Originally, those Jingzhou soldiers and Jiangxia navy in front were the so-called poor people in Jingzhou. Now that the poor people surrendered to death, how many poor people still want to eat soldiers.
So now they are recruiting soldiers in Xiangyang, which is basically nothing.
But the task assigned by the above had to be completed, which is why the former Liu Pan's subordinates were strong.
"Lack of soldiers and horses!" Liu Pan had a headache. If the strong ones are not enough to recruit soldiers and horses, but how much sense of belonging and combat effectiveness can such soldiers and horses have.
"Go, go to Wuling for me, I don't believe that it is difficult to form an army of 50,000 soldiers and horses for the first generation of Lingling!" Liu Pan scolded at his subordinates.
"My lord, it is because the Yiling generation from Wuling could not recruit soldiers and horses that I had no choice but to come to Xiangyang." The deputy general next to him smiled wryly at Liu Pan. The generation of Lingwuling was also stationed in the name of stationing fields, but they were disturbed by others.
"Can't Wuling and Yiling recruit soldiers and horses?" Liu Pan suddenly didn't understand. These two places are close to the border, and they often fight with Wuxi barbarians, so the folk customs here are sturdy, precisely because of the sturdy folk customs So the people here are really strong, and Liu Pan's Wuling elite soldiers were recruited from Wuling.
"Yes!" The general next to him could only hold his nose and listen to Liu Pan's reprimand, conscripting soldiers and horses from the generation of Wuling and Yiling? If it was before that, there might not be any problems, because Liu Pan has been at the border for a generation, and the civil and military personnel there are all Liu Pan's people, but now the border has basically been established because Huang Zu went to Changsha to sit in town. The brand of the Huang family is gone. Huang She and Liu Pan are fighting against each other everywhere, so how can they not think about Wuling, Wuling is where Liu Pan came from, Huang She cleared everything related to Wuling and Liu Pan in order to vent his anger. The conscription that was supposed to be prepared this time was also disrupted by the Huang family. The person in charge was caught and killed until Liu Panjun didn't have any temper, because they said you intended to rebel.
Liu Panjun left weapons in those places where troops were stationed, and this investigation found out. You, Liu Pan, can’t say that I’m about to have military power. This was prepared in advance. What will Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou think, anyway? Although Liu Biao calls Liu Pan my son, Liu Pan also calls Liu Biao Father. But the two are not biological father and son, so Liu Panjun can only recognize by pinching his nose.
"Conscription is urgent! Similarly, the Wu family in Jiangling. I want him to be wiped out!" Liu Pan said coldly to the lieutenant next to him. Since the Huang family is unjust, Liu Pan doesn't need benevolence. If the Huang family cut off his good soldiers, then Liu Pan would cut off an arm of the Huang family. The Wu family in Jiangling is a wealthy noble family, and they are closely related to the Huang family. Now it is because the Huang family has moved into Changsha. It became more and more close, so the two families are very close, the Wu family is equivalent to Zhang Yun's Zhang family to Cai Mao's Cai family.
"Yes!" The lieutenant beside him also nodded. Whoever makes me uncomfortable, I will make whoever is uncomfortable.
"Isn't this conscription a matter of money? Increase the salary by 20%, no, 50%! I want to see how many wealthy families there are in Xiangyang!"
"Fifty percent!?" The lieutenant was stunned, he was frightened by the lord, fifty percent of the salary, this is not a small number. If the previous markings were followed, there would be an extra 25,000 soldiers and horses, but Liu Biao only gave the food and grass limit of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and even if it shrinks, there will be no more.
"No money? We don't have any money, but the Jiangling Wu family has it!" Liu Pan said coldly. The business of the Wu family in Jiangling is spread all over the southern county of Jingzhou. Liu Biao has already said that all the Wu family members are waiting to be dealt with. The family property was closed, and there was nothing wrong with him, Liu Pan, taking it out and using it.
"My lord is tall, really tall!" The lieutenant next to him flattered.
"You take the Jingzhou iron cavalry to Jiangling, you must capture the Wu family and others, and don't let the Wu family get ready!" Crossing the river with a boat, walking with a horse, this speed will naturally be faster, in order to better win In the Wu family, Liu Pan was willing to spend the money and even sent the Yuzhou iron cavalry there.
"My lord, what if the Wu family resists?"
"If you resist? Haha, I'm really not afraid of him resisting, I'm afraid he won't resist!" Liu Pan sneered. If the Wu family didn't resist him, Liu Pan would be really hard to attack, but once they resisted. Then let's start the killing ring, this Wu family is not just for Liu Biao to deter those officials who surrendered. It was Liu Pan who used it to frighten the Huang family and the entire Jingzhou gentry.
…
Jiangling Wujia
"My lord, there is a sergeant outside the door saying that I need to see my lord!" Wu Fan, the Patriarch of the Wu family, suddenly heard a servant running in to deliver a message.
"Sergeant? Why did the sergeant come to see me?" Wu Fan asked suspiciously.
"Master, the sergeant said that he belongs to Xiangyang, yes, he is under General Huang!" The servant also said out of breath.
"General Huang? Which General Huang?" Wu Fan was a little confused, which General Huang he was connected with in Xiangyang. To say that the Huang family is also General Huang Zu. General Huang Zu is still sitting in Changsha.
"General Huang?" Wu Fan suddenly remembered that there is indeed a General Huang in Xiangyang, but this person is General Huang, but no matter which general it is, Wu Fan must pay attention to it, after all, he is also Huang. People from the same line of family.
"Please come in quickly!" Wu Fan said to the servant, and the servant took the order to go, and soon a very tired soldier came in and saw Wu Fan clasped his fists at Wu Fan and shouted, "Commander of the state herdsmen and guards!" General Huang's subordinates have met Wu Fan, Patriarch Wu!"
"Take your seat quickly! Let's talk after drinking some water." Sure enough, it was General Huang's subordinate. Wu Fan was naturally very polite to him, and he didn't feel arrogance at all just because he was a patriarch of a noble family, so he wanted to let this person sit on the seat.
"No, it's an urgent matter. The general will send a message to Patriarch Wu, and he has to reply!" The school lieutenant shook his head.
Wu Fan is not reluctant,
"Patriarch Wu, the general asked the last general to tell Patriarch Wu that the incident happened in Wu Lin, so Liu Pan will use this to make a big fuss and slander the family of Wu. I hope Patriarch Wu can take precautions early!"
"What!" Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, Wu Lin? It was only then that Wu Fan remembered that some time ago, Wu Lin, the captain of Shiyang County, was said to have been granted the title of marquis by the Yangzhou Army. Wu Fan didn't care at first, because Wu Lin was just a branch of the Wu family and had no As a direct descendant of the Wu family, Wu Lin got the post of Shiyang county lieutenant because Wu Lin is a smart and flattering person.
Because Wu Lin was named Marquis and the Yangzhou Army buried him generously, Wu Fan laughed it off at first, because the Wu family didn't have a Marquis, but now they have a Marquis because of this Wu Lin, this has to be said to be a joke. Wu Fan only thought of laughing, but he didn't expect that someone would use this Wu Lin to attack the Wu family.
"Second son Liu Pan?" Wu Fan couldn't think of where he had offended this person. This person actually wanted to use a small Wu Lin to deal with the Wu family. Wu Fan didn't know that he was lying on the ground. It was the Huang family who were dealing with it. His Wu family is incidental.
"Patriarch Wu, make preparations as soon as possible!" the commander-in-chief over there said to Wu Fan.
Wu Fan was about to be moved, but he heard the voice in the front hall, and suddenly Wu Fan smiled wryly, "It's too late!"
In the front hall. A Jingzhou official dressed in an official mansion and an official hat walked into the Wu family's mansion swaggeringly, although Wu Fan was not an official. But the Wu family has a very high status in Jingzhou. Some officials like county magistrates would call Wu Ye or Wu family master when they saw Wu Fan. How could this person walk into the Wu family's mansion like this? .
"I don't know what kind of wind brought our prefect Dong here. Our parent officer, prefect Dong, is really flourishing!" Seeing the person coming, Wu Fan immediately went out to greet him. Fan was disgusted in his heart, but on the surface he was very warm.
"What? Can't Dong and I come to your Wu family? Or is there something tricky in it, afraid that Dong will come!" Dong Zhi also said to Wu Fan with a smile. Dong Zhi and Wu Fan have never dealt with each other, because they represent two families, Dong Zhi represents the Dong family, and Wu Fan represents the Wu family. Although Dong Zhi is a prefect, Dong Zhi's Dong family is not as good as Wu Fan's Wu family. After all, the Dong family migrated from the Central Plains and belonged to outsiders. How can they compare with Wu Fan's Wu family? What about local snakes
If it weren't for Dong Zhi being the prefect, the Dong family would have been swallowed up by Wu Fan long ago, and there is only one Jiangling. Both the Dong family and the Wu family want to occupy the head of Jiangling. Naturally, the two families will not have the slightest intention of easing up. .
"Where is this! Unless someone planted it, otherwise, haha" Although Wu Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed quickly, and those who come are not kind and those who come will not come.
"Hmph. It's about this time. Let me see how long you, Wu Fan, are going to deny it." Dong Zhi immediately tore his face, "Wu Fan has a document sent from Xiangyang, and your Wu family is connected with foreign enemies and the bandit army in Yangzhou." The evidence of soldiers and horses colluding to betray me in Jingzhou is solid and you still want to deny it! Someone come and take down the Wu family and everyone!" Behind Dong Zhi, there were hundreds of Jiangling government servants with soldiers and horses.
"There's no excuse for the crime! I want to see who dares to take down my Wu family!" Wu Fan also sneered. He, Wu Fan, is not without confidence. So what about the hundreds of servants brought by Dong Zhi? confronted up.
"Okay, okay, you still hide your weapons! It turns out that you, Wu Fan, have already had the idea of treason!" Dong Zhi sneered as he saw those Hakka servants of Wu's family holding swords.
Hiding weapons? In this chaotic world, if there were no swordsmen, they would have been hacked to death and dismembered. Although the swordsmen killed people, they were also self-protecting, even some common people had swordsmen in their homes. Now that Dong Zhi was actually holding a speech, Wu Fan's sneer deepened.
"Dong Zhi, stop yelling at me and say that my Wu family betrayed Jingzhou? I'd like to ask General Huang Zu to ask Master Zhou if he said that I betrayed Jingzhou! Or should you, Dong Zhi, impose it on my Wu family!" Wu Fan took Huang Zu came out to oppress Dong Zhi. Huang Zu's Huang family is Wu Fan's backer, and Huang Zu also holds a lot of weight in front of Liu Biao. In the past, the three giants in the army were Huang Caiwen, and Wenpin had no family, so the army was actually dominated by Cai Mao and Huang Zu.
Cai Mao is now under house arrest by Liu Biao, so Huang Zu's position in the army has been further consolidated.
"You don't need to see Huang Zu!" Just when Dong Zhi was hesitating, a cold voice came out. Dong Zhi turned his head and saw several heavy armored cavalry on horses directly entering Wu's house without getting off their horses.
"You are?" Dong Zhi looked at this person suspiciously, because war horses are a very precious resource in the Jiangnan area, and Dong Zhi, a heavy cavalry soldier, has never seen it before.
"Master Dong, I have come to arrest the rebellious Wu family under the order of the second son!" the cavalry commander said to Dong Zhi.
"Deputy General Xu?" Dong Zhi just remembered that the person came and greeted this Vice General with fists. Although he was the prefect of Jiangling, and this Vice General Xu was just a mere deputy, Dong Zhi didn't dare at all. There is disrespect.
"It's been a long time since Mr. Dong!"
"Liu Pan's men?" Wu Fan looked at Vice General Xu who was having a heated fight with Dong Zhi.
"You are Wu Fan, the patriarch of the Wu family, right? Lord Zhou Mu and the second son ordered everyone from the Wu family to be imprisoned, the family business is closed, and they are waiting to be released!" Deputy General Xu said condescendingly to Wu Fan.
"Shut up in prison and close the family business? Waiting to be released?" Immediately, the Wu family quit. What's the difference between this and killing them? Their Wu family has been on the land of Jiangling for many generations. Before Liu Biao came, the Wu family was a big family in Jiangling, but now they are unwilling to hand over their family property. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. Dong Zhi and Deputy General Xu looked over there with bad eyes.
"Hehe!" Deputy General Xu over there couldn't help laughing when he saw the reaction over there, the more angry the better. Better to resist.
"Patriarch, is it tolerable or unbearable? Putting us all in prison doesn't count as shutting down our family business! These family businesses are all left by our ancestors, how can we just say they are closed? When our Wu family was in Jiangling, he didn't know where Liu Biao was!"
"We still fight with them! Anyway, there is no way to survive, so it is better to fight with them!" Some people became aggressive and wanted to arrest this deputy general Xu.
Hearing the yelling of his own people, Wu Fan lifted his hands up, and the Wu family around him were all holding their knives tightly, waiting for the order of their own patriarch to rise up and revolt immediately, arresting people if you say you want to arrest them. You still want to occupy our family business, people die for money, birds die for food, so naturally you think of desperately.
The soldiers and horses brought by Vice General Xu over there also became short of breath, and couldn't help but sneer. Just waiting for Wu Fan's resistance to go forward and kill him with blood flowing in rivers. But Vice General Xu was destined to be disappointed.
"Put down your swords! Wait for Vice General Xu and Taishou Dong!" Wu Fan still didn't dare to block the fate of the entire Wu family. If it was just Wu Fan or his family, then Wu Fan would immediately lead others to resist. If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse. Since they are here, they will naturally not give you an easy life.
But because the Wu family has a big family, Wu Fan backed down. What's more, it hasn't really reached the point of desperation yet, Huang Zu, the Huang family is the only life-saving straw that his Wu family can grasp.
"Hehe! Patriarch Wu is really a hero!" Deputy General Xu sneered. Those who know current affairs are Junjie.
"It's not that Wu is a hero, but that Wu believes that with General Huang Zu around, he will be able to give Wu justice, which is better than being framed by villains!" Wu Fan said coldly.
Wu Fan had already mentioned Huang Zu twice, and Dong Zhi beside him was very afraid, because Dong Zhi could afford to offend the Wu family, but he really couldn't afford to offend Huang Zu. If it offended Huang Zu and sent troops to attack from behind, then Dong Zhi would have a lot of fun. In order to appease Huang Zu's anger, Liu Biao would definitely kill Dong Zhi.
Vice General Xu didn't speak, because it was obvious who Wu Fan's villain was talking about. Wu Fan also took out Huang Zu to oppress Vice General Xu, which made Vice General Xu's eyes show a cold killing intent.
"General Huang Zu? Although General Huang Zu knows everything, I'm afraid he doesn't have time!" Deputy General Xu said.
"Although General Huang Zu is taking care of everything, I believe he will seek justice for us."
"Then how are you going to tell General Huang Zu that you were wronged!"
"Naturally rely on the mouth!"
"What if you can't speak anymore?" Deputy General Xu laughed.
"What do you mean?"
"Come here. The rebel Wu Fanli communicated with foreign enemies, betrayed Jingzhou and joined the Yangzhou bandit army. He tried to overthrow our Jiangling County City, but the matter was revealed, and he resisted stubbornly as a trapped beast. Let me destroy it!"
"How dare you!" Wu Fan's eye sockets were about to burst after hearing what Vice General Xu said. What does this Vice General Xu want to do!
"Why don't I dare!" Deputy General Xu sneered, Huang Zu's Huang family will sooner or later be the enemy of the lord becoming the Lord of Jingzhou, and now is the opportunity to cut off Huang Zu's wings. Since you, Wu Fan, do not resist, then I will give you a chance to resist. Instead, your mouth will be on Deputy General Xu's face, and the Wu family will always shut their mouths "Come kill me!"...
"Liu Pan!" The Hakka servants of the Wu family had long put down their swords under Wu Fan's order, and now it was too late to react and was killed by the Jingzhou iron cavalry brought by Vice General Xu. The whole Wu was caught off guard. There was a bloody storm at home.
"This, this, this!" Dong Zhi looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say. The Wu family, Wu Fan, Dong Zhi has always wanted to trip the Wu family and replace the Wu family to become the number one in Jiangling. A noble family, but Dong Zhi never thought of exterminating the Wu family. Now there are dead people everywhere in the Wu family, and there are shouts of killing everywhere, so Dong Zhi is directly blinded.
"My lord, what should we do now!" A yamen servant next to him asked Dong Zhi, who was also frightened by the scene in front of him. No mercy at all.
"What can I do! Just wait and see how it gets better!" Dong Zhi forced his trembling feet into his trousers, his body was already wet with sweat.
"Prefect Dong. Are you hot?" Deputy General Xu asked Dong Zhi with a smile.
"Not hot, not hot!" Dong Zhi hurriedly shook his head, the smile of Vice General Xu was completely demonic to Dong Zhi.
"Dong Taishou, in fact, you don't need to be afraid. Thunder means are naturally used against the enemy. To you, Dong Taishou, the second son of our family has always treated each other with courtesy!" Deputy General Xu approached Dong Zhi's ear and said. Chi's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.
"This is natural. This is natural!" Dong Zhi perfunctory.
"Listen to what our second son said, the glory and wealth in the future will naturally be indispensable to you, Governor Dong. Does Dong Taishou only want to be a Jiangling prefect? You must know that there are many vacancies in Xiangyang. Then the Huang family, Kuai The Cai family may not have a Dong family!" Vice General Xu continued to Dong Zhi.
"Dong family?" Mentioning this Dong family, Dong Zhi's eyes immediately burst into light. Why did he and Wu Fan have conflicts again? Isn't it because he wants to let the Dong family dominate Jiangling? And the Huang family, the Kuai family, and the Cai family are all aristocratic families.
If his Dong family can be like this Cai family and Kuai family! Suddenly led by greed, Dong Zhi's heart became hot. Fear and fear are slowly put away.
"Is this true?" Dong Zhi asked.
"Of course! As long as our Second Young Master achieves great success, Governor Dong will be a great contributor, and a second seat will naturally be indispensable!" Deputy General Xu continued to throw the bait.
Dong Zhi bit his lips and said, "If the Second Young Master has any orders, Dong Zhi will definitely go through fire and water!"
"Okay! What I want is what Dong Taishou said!" Deputy General Xu nodded. "Dong Taishou, our second son needs your help from Dong Taishou!"
"En?" Dong Zhi asked suspiciously, even Liu Pan couldn't do anything about it, what could Dong Zhi do? But Dong Zhi still clasped his fists and asked, "Deputy General Xu is not talking!"
"Dong Taishou, my lord has ordered 50,000 strong men to form the Jingzhou New Army under the order of the State Shepherd, but the shortage of soldiers in Xiangyang is only 20,000!"
"This is no problem, 30,000 soldiers and horses, right? As long as the second son's food and salary are in place, Dong Zhi will definitely let the most elite and strong people in Jiangling rush into the second son's command!" Dong Zhi said to Vice General Xu, three Wan robust. It may be difficult to gather in Xiangyang, but it is much better in Jiangling.
"Food and grass? Hehe. Governor Dong, if the food and salary are shipped from Xiangyang. Governor Dong, how long will it take to send the soldiers to Xiangyang?" Deputy General Xu continued to say with a smile.
"So what does General Xu mean?" Dong Zhi deliberately pretended to be confused.
'Naturally, Dong Taishou will bear it together! "Vice General Xu said to Dong Zhi.
"Ah!" Dong Zhi was stunned.
"What? Is Governor Dong a problem?"
"General Xu doesn't know something! Although my treasury in Jiangling is sufficient enough to support 100,000 soldiers and horses for two years, those treasuries are all left by the state herdsman, and the guards are all from the state herdsman. Direct descendant, you can directly report to Lord State Shepherd, if I use this food, I will definitely let Lord State Shepherd know, once Lord State Shepherd knows, the head of the lower official will not be guaranteed, it doesn’t matter if the lower official dies , but if he misses the important matter of the second son, this is a death sentence!" This is not a small number, the entire food and salary of the 30,000 army, he Dong Zhi and the Dong family can't afford it, even if it is taken out, the Dong family can't afford it. Now, the only thing that can afford it is the treasury of Jiangling, but this treasury of Jiangling cannot be moved, because it is Liu Biao’s reserve for his son and other war preparations, because he is afraid that he will be at the end of his life It can be used to a certain extent, Jiangling also exists as the companion capital of Jingzhou.
"Hehe, Governor Dong, Governor Dong, why don't you use the grain depot in front of you!" Deputy General Xu said to Dong Zhi with a smile.
"Is there a grain depot in front of me?" Dong Zhi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the place where Deputy General Xu pointed, he immediately understood what place they were carrying now, isn't it the Wu family in Jiangling! The Wu family in Jiangling is a big family in Jiangling. His family property is not comparable to that of a newcomer like Dong Zhi. Although generations of squandering, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The Wu family now seems to be over. But the Wu family's family business is there, so it's not a problem to use the Wu family's family business as food and salary.
"General Xu, please convey this. Dong will definitely do his best to complete the task of the second son. The 30,000 soldiers and horses not only belong to my Jiangling, but also their soldiers and armor!" Dong Zhi was generous all of a sudden. Get up, anyway, it's not your own money to use, let's use it.
"In this way, Xu will replace the lord and thank the prefect Dong!" Deputy General Xu also said to Dong Zhi with a smile. What about the food and pay for the expansion of the army? In fact, Liu Pan had been thinking about the Wu family's family business from the very beginning. The reason why Vice General Xu didn't do it himself was because he used the Wu family's family property to make a certificate for Dong Zhi.
The members of the Wu family were killed by Liu Pan, but the Wu family property was copied by you, Dong Zhi. Although Liu Pan was the murderer, everyone is more concerned about the people who ransacked the house, because it will make people think that it was you, Dong Zhi, who took a fancy to the Wu family's property, and that's why the second son did it. It was you, Dong Zhi Insatiable greed, in this way, Dong Zhi was completely tied to the chariot of the second son Liu Pan, and he was branded with Liu Pan, wouldn't Dong Zhi know? After so many years in the officialdom, Dong Zhi naturally knew, but even if he knew, he had no choice.
The Wu family is finished. The Huang family will not bypass him. Instead of explaining to the Huang family that it may not be good, it is better to join the second son Liu Pan's command.
"Dong Zhi, Liu Pan, you must die!" Wu Fan was also covered in blood. He watched the servants, servants and even family members under his hands die in front of him, in the armor brought by Vice General Xu. on the butcher knife. He knew that the Wu family was completely over, Wu Fan stared, his eyes were bloodshot.
"You still dare to speak wild words!" Deputy General Xu said coldly, and slapped him directly on his hand. Only the sound of a slap was heard, and Wu Fan's face suddenly became red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were even more so. Blood was spilled. This was the Patriarch of the Wu family back then, the person who dominated Jiangling's officialdom back then. Now it is so miserable.
"Haha, haha!" Wu Fan looked outside the Wu residence. Suddenly Wu Fan laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Deputy General Xu panicked as Wu Fan stared at him.
'I'm laughing, someone, someone will avenge me, I'm laughing, I saw your fate, you will die, you will die! "Wu Fan yelled hysterically.
"Revenge? Hehe! Relying on Huang Zu?" Deputy General Xu simply disdainful! "If you are relying on Huang Zu, then let me tell you Patriarch Wu, Huang Zu is hard to protect himself. Waiting for my lord to get the big position, it will be the day of his death!"
"If you say you are the Wu family, then let me tell you that you are not afraid of your Wu family's victory over my master, let alone now! Master Wu, master Wu, don't blame my second son, if you want to blame you, blame Huang She, yes That Huang She shouldn't have offended our young master, killing you is just to teach that Huang She a lesson!"
"Hehe, hehe!" Wu Fan smiled wryly, his eyes, nose, and mouth were all bloody, and now he finally knew why a mere branch of Wu Lin would let his whole Wu family be buried with him.
Because it's not because of Wu Lin at all, but because of the Huang family. They are trying to shake the mountain and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Their Wu family is the chicken that was killed, just to scare the Huang family.
"You will die, you will die, someone will avenge me, avenge me!" Wu Fan still said the same thing.
"Oh? Is that so? Then, Patriarch Wu, please watch from below. Who is going to avenge Patriarch Wu!" Deputy General Xu said, suddenly a cold light flashed, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, and a streak of blood flew Suddenly, Wu Fan's head soared to the sky, and was directly caught by Deputy General Xu.
"The traitor Wu Fan is dead and the Wu family doesn't need to exist anymore. Burn it!" Deputy General Xu ordered to the soldiers under his command, and soon a fire burned above the Wu family's mansion. The Wu family, the center of Jiangling City, The huge family that survived for several generations or even dozens of generations suddenly became ashes, entered the long river of history slowly, and could no longer be displayed.
"Father, father!" Outside the mansion, a young woman looked at the raging flames of the familiar house in front of her. She could only grit her teeth and hold back her pain with tears in her eyes. Heap of ashes.
"Dong Zhi! Liu Pan!" The young woman looked at Dong Zhi's fat body over there, and the general next to him holding Liu Pan's banner couldn't help but said fiercely, "I want you to pay with blood!" Just turned around and left.
This young woman is none other than Wu Fan's daughter, Wu Mi. Wu Fan has three sons, but the eldest son stays in the Wu family to take care of them. The second son died early, and the third son went out long ago, not in Jingzhou. It is said that he was an official in Shuchuan. There is only one daughter, and this daughter was only reached out when Wu Fan was almost middle-aged. So he loves this daughter in every possible way, she can do whatever she wants!
Originally, he wanted to find a good family for this precious daughter. Wu Fan's first thought was to marry Huang Zu's son Huang She, but his daughter rejected it, and even threatened Wu Fan by committing suicide and hanging himself. Fan has no choice but to let go of this idea for the time being. Because of this matter, his daughter is still in the cold war with him and doesn't want to see him. Because doting on her daughter is also to ease the relationship between father and daughter, so every time Wu Mi went out to play secretly, Wu Fan would watch it but pretended not to know, and just sent a few followers to protect her.
This time it’s the same as Wu Mi went out to play in the market, Wu Mi is very smart, she got rid of the doormen sent by her father to monitor and protect her, she thought she would go to her father to have a good time after a day of comfort Yes, but who would have thought that when they returned to the mansion, they would see the monstrous fire and the miserable sound of killing. Teams of soldiers and horses were going back and forth in the Wu residence.
Wu Mi changed her clothes and dressed up, her original appearance changed, it became pitch black and even had a disgusting smell.
"Come on. Is there someone to do the work, carry the corpse, a three-pence coin!" The Wu family mansion cannot be burned all at once, there are always things that cannot be burned, and those charred corpses need people to come It was cleaned up, and the location of the Wu Mansion is also very good. Although the Wu Mansion is destroyed, it does not hinder the land sales of the Wu Mansion, so Dong Zhi is ready to make a move. But at least we need to clean up before making a move, and naturally some people will be hired.
Wu Mi stepped forward and shouted to the man in charge, "Brother, look at me, look at me!" Wu Mi lowered his voice and said to the man in charge.
"You?" The man in charge looked Wu Mi up and down. Wu Mi's hands were very white, and the manager was a little confused, because it didn't look like a hand doing rough work, but there was a strange smell about this person.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Brother, didn't you accidentally drop the dung bucket, that's why it smells like this!"
"Hai, bad luck, bad luck, let me tell you, your stomach smells of urine, look at you, with small arms and thin legs, how can you do this job, get out of here!" The manager looked impatient.
"Brother!" Wu Mi suddenly fell to his knees.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, what are you doing!" The manager was also a commoner, and whenever he saw someone kneeling in front of him, he immediately panicked, "Little brother, little brother, what are you doing, what are you doing?" !" The manager wanted to help Wu Mi, but the smell on Wu Mi made him more entangled.
"What's the matter? What's the matter!" Kneeling down, many people passing by immediately gathered around to watch. The Chinese people have the habit of watching the excitement from ancient times to the present.
"Brother, please, I still have a child who is waiting to be fed. He has not eaten for several days. If I can't earn money and exchange food, I may starve to death. Please show mercy and let me do it." !" Wu Mi fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed towards Wu's mansion whether intentionally or not.
"Get up, get up!"
"If you don't agree, I won't get up!"
"What kind of person is this, let people kneel on the ground!" The people around were discussing.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, why don't I promise you?" The steward had no choice but to agree, anyway, he wants to call a lot of people, not many people are going to dawdle like this, and not many are burned.
"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!" Wu Mi kowtowed again.
"Come in with me!" The manager was also afraid of Wu Mi, and led Wu Mi towards the ruins of the Wu family. Wu Mi walked to the threshold of the Wu Mansion, but he couldn't help but stop with pain in his heart.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you come in!" The steward said doubtfully, "If you don't come in, don't come! I'm not a charity!" The steward was a little impatient.
Wu Mi had no choice but to follow the steward into Wu's mansion. Wu Mi looked at everything in front of him, and his eyes became moist again. All of these are always familiar to Wu Mi, and he was born just a few days ago. It was vivid, but now it has become ruins.
"Come on. These are the things you have to do! Clean up those logs!" The steward pointed to Wu Mi and said. After finishing speaking, the steward left.
"Hey, new here? What is your relationship with the steward, relative? I really envy you. You can clean up the wood!" A coolie next to him said to Wu Mi.
Wu Mi didn't speak, and the coolie continued to say, "It's miserable. Hundreds of people were killed like this! Hey, they were burned like this after they died, what a crime!"
Wu Mi's hand suddenly stopped, and if you look carefully, you will find that it is trembling.
"Your luck is really good. It turned out to be clearing the wood. I will be miserable, transporting these corpses. Hey!" The coolie was complaining, no wonder, these corpses were all burnt, emitting a smell, you It would be fine if it smelled foul, but it smelled like roasted meat, which made people sick. These were all human flesh. This coolie swore that he would never eat roasted meat again.
"I trade with you?" Wu Mi said to the coolie.
"Is that true?" The coolie was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes lit up. Although carrying wood is a bit heavier, it is much better to carry corpses. After all, don't face these charred corpses. Not only disgusting but also unpleasant smell.
"Of course!" Wu Mi nodded and said.
"Okay, this is what you said, don't go back on your word!" The coolie ran towards the wood over there without waiting for Wu Mi's consent. Just because I was afraid that Wu Mi would go back on his word.
Without the slightest complaint, Wu Mi began to carry these charred corpses.
"Mother! The child is not filial, so I can't be filial for you!"
"San'er, didn't you say you wanted to help me monitor the master, why did you become like this!"
"Xiao Hong, don't you want to marry a good man? Get up. Get up, Miss, I'll find you!" Wu Mi looked at the mummified corpse on the ground. They have not been completely burned to ashes, so they can still be identified, Wu Mi's heart is bleeding.
"Hi. I didn't expect this sick ghost to be quite strong!" The steward over there couldn't help but became interested when he saw Wu Mi's work. He thought it was a loss-making business. Who knew that this sick ghost was so strong.
"Sick ghost, just drag these corpses to that messy graveyard!"
A sentence of corpses were carried onto the car and pushed towards the door. Luan Grave Mound is located in the west of the city. Here is a hill covered with straw mats or wooden stakes. Those who have money can erect an inscription, and those who have no money can just wrap it in straw mats and throw them here all year round. Over the past few months, there have been corpses all over the place, making him feel terrified even walking here.
"Hey, let me tell you, don't you feel cold!" A coolie who came to carry the corpse with him said to Wu Mi. "It's so gloomy here, I said, let's just leave these corpses here and go straight away!" The sky slowly darkened for some reason. trembling.
But Wu Mi didn't care, he carried the corpses down one by one, and then dug up the soil layer by layer with a shovel, and found a lot of corpses, but she, a girl, had nothing at all. Frightened, the expressions of the coolies at the side changed a little when they saw him.
After the pit was dug, Wu Mi put those corpses in again and filled it with good soil.
"We should go!" The coolie over there began to urge again. No one wants to stay in this ghost place.
But Wu Mi didn't show the slightest sign of leaving but knelt down on the ground.
"Hello? Did any of your family members die here too?" Coolie stepped forward and said to Wu Mi, the two of them could fight together anyway, but I really didn't dare to come alone, facing the wind, and those There are vultures and wild dogs, and there are fireflies at night, so it is even more frightening.
"Father, mother, my daughter is not filial and can't accompany you. Big brother, you must take good care of your parents when you are there. Parents, you will see the second brother and the third son Xiaohong. The two of you can make a pair. Don't think that Miss and I don't like you." I know, Xiaohong, you have liked San'er for a long time, right! San'er, you have to take good care of Xiaohong there, Xiaohong is a good girl, you can't let her down, Xiaohong, if San'er bullies you, you Just tell the young lady, the young lady will teach him a lesson for you." Wu Mi muttered to himself, making the companions beside him shudder.
"Father and mother! The child will come to see you when he has avenged his revenge. You will not die in vain. I will make Dong Zhi and Liu Pan pay with blood!" Wu Mi's voice became thinner and thinner, and at the end Wu Mi The veil on the head was lifted off, revealing a head of long hair.
"Ah, ghost!" Long-haired female voice, isn't this the standard configuration of ghosts, the coolie was so frightened that he ran away.
"Hehe!" Wu Mi sneered. The word revenge has been rippling in his heart all the time.
