Chapter 278: Trap
As for saying that 30,000 to 500 can consume Li Yang's side alive even if it is a flat push, this is even more nonsense.
What is the combat power of 30,000 high-ranking beggars? They had no formal training, and they didn't know what it was to march in formation, so Li Yang only had to withstand the first wave of the rebels' attacks after the engagement, at which point the morale of the rebels would crumble, because they were only doing things with a bloody spirit, and when they realized that they could not do anything, their morale would immediately crumble.
Rao is a rebel army with a good knowledge of the art of war, and it is impossible for them to train a group of stragglers who have no foundation to speak of into elite soldiers in just a few days.
The main reason is that he doesn't dare to do that on one acre and three points of land in Youzhou, if he dares to openly train troops under the current situation, Li Yang will be able to save even the effort to quell the rebellion, and then he only needs to directly put a big hat on them with the intention of rebellion.
The reason why Tian Chou and others still decided to rebel under such harsh conditions was because the new tax bill proposed by Li Yang really squeezed them out of breath, at least in the context of the current world, no force has ever implemented such a "harsh" tax policy.
As the old saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, looking at the tax policies of other forces, and then looking at the tax policies of Youzhou, how can Tian Chou and others feel balanced in their hearts? Compared with the two, the nameless fire in their hearts can't be suppressed no matter what.
There have also been people who have had the idea of absconding with money, and they have really put it into action, but Jinyiwei in Youzhou is by no means a vegetarian, Jinyiwei stopped all the people and property when he was about to leave the country, and under Li Yang's personal interrogation, the offender finally ended up with a confiscated family property as expected.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the person is still alive, and the final result of this matter is very unexpected by everyone.
The person whose property was confiscated was surnamed Zhou, and he was the head of a big family in Youzhou, and he was the one who opened his mouth and two thieves shut up and rebelled before!
June 1st, the fourth watch.
After repeated deductions, Wang Ze and Han Zhuo's thoughts were slightly loosened, and they regretted it a little, just because they were angry for a while, they were bewitched by Tian Chou and others, and finally rebelled with them!
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Wang Ze muttered to himself.
In fact, a large part of the reason for his rebellion was because he had been neglected in recent years, and he obviously felt that he had been completely marginalized by Li Yang.
To be honest, in fact, Wang Ze himself is too hypocritical, with his ability, it is normal to be marginalized, not to mention that Li Yang has made a lot of compensation to him.
In terms of ability alone, Wang Ze is not qualified to be a county guard, he was selected by Li Yang because his qualifications are old enough, and Li Yang doesn't want to chill the heart of this old minister of the two dynasties!
The reason why Wang Ze regretted it was because he knew Li Yang's ability very well, but he also understood the truth that he had to send when the arrow was ready.
"It's too late to say anything........ Wang Ze sighed helplessly.
Tonight's Wang Ze is destined to be unable to sleep, under the dim light, at this moment, he is like an ordinary old man, kneeling in front of the desk and recalling the eventful years of the past.
Wang Ze, who was in a daze at the moment, was very haunted by the meaning of not knowing what year it was tonight, he hoped that time could be frozen in this moment forever, if he could be so confused and not think about anything in the second half of his life, it would actually be very good.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and a call from outside the door brought it back to reality.
The old servant in the house called softly outside the door: "Lord, it's the fifth watch!" In a few moments, the gates will be opened! ”
Wang Ze calmed down when he heard this, and said in a slightly tired voice: "Got it!" Go and prepare a few carriages, wake up the lady and a few sons and young ladies all, and say that I am going to take them out for a trip! ”
The old servant bowed down and agreed, and was just about to turn around and leave when he was called back by Wang Ze, Wang Ze said as if talking to himself: "Forget it, don't bother them, let's talk about the outing another day!" ”
The old servant said softly: "No! Then he walked away!
Wang Ze remembered an incident that happened not long ago, he wanted to take a group of family members out of the city in the name of going to Qingqing, but when he arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city on the grounds that "the Wuhuan Rebellion has not yet subsided".
At that time, Wang Ze didn't think much about it, because what the city gate guards said was true, and the imperial court had just put down the rebellion of the Wuhuan people at that time, and it was said that it was not safe outside the city.
At that time, Wang Ze was only in charge of the government, and this move was for the sake of the safety of the families of the senior officials in the DPRK and China, nothing more!
But when the matter came to an end, Wang Ze's sudden inspiration flashed, as if he had suddenly opened his mind, and he figured out many key points in this incident.
As we all know, Lou Ban and Wuyan have completely bowed down to Li Yang after the rebellion of the Wuhuan people, and the two are the backbone of the Wuhuan people.
Wang Ze frowned tightly and muttered to himself, "Could it be? ……… Hiss... Not good......! ”
"It turns out that all this is a trap set by Anxiang Hou a long time ago! Gongsun Xu, are you so confused that you don't even take revenge for killing your father? ”
Wang Ze muttered to himself as if his body had been hollowed out.
As soon as Wang Ze's words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Wang Ze looked at the two young men who looked like domestic servants in front of him and was silent for a long time.
After a long time!
Wang Ze sighed helplessly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that I am just deceiving myself!" ”
The two brocade guards bowed down and saluted Wang Ze, and one of them stepped forward, took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Ze.
Wang Ze frowned and took it and unfolded it, and the note read: "Wang Fujun is an old minister of the two dynasties, he has contributed to Youzhou, kept his life, did not offend his relatives, confiscated all his land, and was imprisoned!" ”
Wang Ze recognized at a glance that the handwriting on the note was from Li Yang's hand, he stood up tremblingly, then knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sinner Wang Ze, thank you for the grace of the Lord not to kill!" ”
The two brocade guards glanced at each other, exchanged a look with each other, and one of them slowly spoke: "Please follow the plan agreed in advance by Wang Fujun!" At that time, the lord has his own plans! ”
"Command!" Wang Ze replied.
