On the tenth day of the first month of March, Lai Chenglong, the governor of Jinyiwei, led Shanxi Jinyiwei to flock into the back office of Lu Anyu, the capital of Jinzhong Prefecture, and arrested Lu Anyu for interrogation, saying that he had accepted bribes from Ma Yuantong.

As soon as the news came out, Jinzhong was in an uproar, but before anyone came back, Jinyiwei had already quickly convicted Lu Anyu, and His Royal Highness Taisun personally ordered him to be beheaded at Caishikou.

Ordinary people are sentenced to death and have to report to the Criminal Department for review, but now that the war in Shanxi is involved, it is a big crime of collusion with bandits, and no one dares to question whether it is appropriate to immediately behead him.

When the news was sent to Cui's mansion, the Kong garrison was already a fish on the chopping board of the brocade guard, and I heard that a thousand people in the garrison under him were used to guard the mines, staring at the craftsmen who made copper coins to make copper coins.

Under such thunderous means, half of the officials in Jinzhong were removed and killed, and all of them were replaced by Taisun's people, and the people up and down tightened their tails to be people.

On 21 March, the militia garrison and armament drill troops mobilized from all over Shanxi totaled more than 30,000 people, all of whom were stationed outside the city of Jinzhong under the leadership of Zhou Garrison and Ye Jingkuan, the commander of the horses, and were ready to go to war at any time.

The Cui clan in Jinzhong did not hesitate to take the lead in donating 200,000 quintals of grain, and the wealthy people in the city donated generously under the leadership of the Cui family, and their morale was high for a while.

But everything was ready, but Zhou Weizhao did not order a war, and when Zhou Garrison and Ye Jingwan surrounded Yangquan County with soldiers and horses, he began to ask people to transport things to the city gate basket by basket, and mobilized more than 4,000 archers, and began to release arrows in the city wall of Chaoyangquan day and night, and the arrows were all wrapped in notes with words written on them without exception.

Later, the people of Jinzhong City heard that the letter that was shot into Yangquan was not a nonsense about disarming and not killing, but a letter of commitment to the people of Yangquan County who were willing to kill Ma Yuantong and Zhao'an for three consecutive years starting from this year, saying that within three years, the profits from the coal mines produced in Yangquan County would be divided equally among the people of Yangquan County who were willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

That's a ...... Originally, I was worried about how to quell the chaos without killing all the people, but now I have this trick......

A few days ago, there was no movement, but more than 30,000 officers and soldiers outside were densely surrounded by layers, and they continued to receive such letters every day...... The opposition of the people in Yangquan County has long been less firm than before.

Lai Chenglong looked at Song Chuyi with deep eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "You and this Highness are really not ordinary people. Such an idea can also be thought of, besiege without attacking, giving people pressure, but at the same time throwing such a big bait...... If this goes on like this, it will not take more than half a month at most, and Yangquan County will run out of ammunition and food, and they will not last long. On the day when there is no food, there should be people who want to be recruited by the imperial court...... "Let these people make chaos inside themselves, and then they are afraid that they will not be able to calm the chaos?" Lai Chenglong felt that these two people were really unguardable, so he couldn't help but look at Song Chuyi carefully for a while, and after a while, he said: "I remember that in the past, your grandfather and you were eager to get out of the ship of the East Palace first, what's the matter, now I regret it and want to go up again?" ”

It's not the boat in the East Palace, the prince is a man, and he can take a peek at the leopard from the Yangzhou fraud case, the Song family doesn't want to put the treasure on him, and he wants to bet on Zhou Weizhao.

Emperor Jianzhang is not old now, but the prince is really not in good health, who can survive who is still not necessarily, if the prince died before Emperor Jianzhang, with the current situation, as long as Zhou Weizhao does the matter of Yangquan, no one can pick out the orthodox heir, then everything will be over.

Song Chuyi knew what Lai Chenglong's idea was, so he simply told him honestly: "The stakes are very high, and it's not something I said." It's just that His Royal Highness Taisun has helped me so much this time, even if we don't stand in his boat, it is impossible to stand in another boat. Speaking of which, Uncle Lai, what you are worried about is justified, and there is still some time left, so you should think about it. ”

Lai Chenglong instinctively wanted to deny it, and wanted to say that he had nothing to think about, but when he came into contact with Song Chuyi's eyes, he sighed ghostly, and he really couldn't help but admit it, he really had to think about what Adi did to the East Palace now.

In the garrison mansion, Ye Jingkuan, who rushed back to the city overnight, was also discussing things with Zhou Weizhao with the lamp: "I ordered 3,000 people to cut off the water source of Yangquan...... The water level has risen sharply under the spring rain for a while, and the water will only rise more rapidly and faster after a while......

This is the strategy agreed upon by the people of Zhan Shifu after they came back after exploring the terrain, once those people in Yangquan County refused to surrender, then they would be starved to the point that they ran out of food, and then opened the gate to release water.

Zhou Weizhao watched Ye Jingkuan's fingers move away from the map, and nodded slowly: "I'll go into battle with you tomorrow." "He is a Qincha and a grandson, and he was ordered to quell the chaos, and now it is time for him to show his face.

Lu Anyu and Kong Shoubei have been beheaded, Jinzhong can now be said to be a monolith, it is much safer to stay here than before going to the battle, Ye Jingkuan and the staff members who followed next to him immediately shook their heads in disapproval: "Your Highness, is it possible that you will have nothing to do if you don't go to the front of the battle?" Everyone knows that you are behind the scheduling...... There's really no need to risk yourself......"

"No, I'll go myself!" Zhou Weizhao said categorically, with a firm gaze, with a stirring spirit unique to young people: "Tomorrow I will personally read the holy oracle." "He was the emperor's own grandson, the next prince of the rites, and he came to read the oracle in a way that was much more powerful and credible than the words printed on paper. Only when he went, the last step was ----- to go logically, that is, he and Emperor Jianzhang were generous and benevolent to convince people with virtue, and influenced the people of Yangquan County, so as to save the lives from being ruined, if it doesn't work, then he has already done his best, and finally diverted the water to flood the city is also a helpless move, no one can say it, and no one can accuse him of this ruthlessly, because he has exhausted all means.

Ye Jingkuan glanced at everyone, knowing that since the grandson had already made a decision, it would be difficult to turn around, so he had to nod his head and agree, and said that he wanted Lai Chenglong to accompany the grandson in person. In any case, it is always safer to have a brocade guard by your side to protect you. (To be continued.) )
