Li Xun arrived in Taxian, because he didn't know what the situation was in Wuzhou, and there were not many troops in his hands, so he didn't dare to act rashly and could only hold his troops for the time being, but he also did some things within his ability, one was to send scouts to Wuzhou to inquire about the news, and get in touch with Fan Zhongyun and others as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Suzhou to inform him of the situation and ask for support.

Li Xun didn't wait long, and a day later, news finally came from Wuzhou.

After reading the letter in his hand, Li Xun was silent for a long time with a pensive face.

"Li Xun, what did the letter say?"

Zheng Chun asked out loud, and the two brothers Yu Yanhui and Yu Chong stood aside, and they were also very concerned about the situation in Wuzhou.

"See for yourself."

Li Xun handed the letter out, Zheng Chun hurriedly took the letter, and looked carefully, and the Yu Yanhui brothers also hurriedly came up and watched around.

This letter is written by Fan Zhongyun himself, mainly writing three things, the first thing is not about the war, but let Li Xun immediately write the war report, the reason for the outbreak of the incident, completely written, the meaning is very simple, all the responsibility is pushed to Wu Heng and Wang Chengxi, and the two of them, after the outbreak of civil unrest, have fled to Wu'an City, Wu Heng is the first time, ready to write to the court, the first to put all the responsibility on Li Xun, but Fan Zhongyun has long been on guard against him, put the two under house arrest, No contact with the outside world is permitted.

The second thing is about the war, the flashpoint of the civil unrest, is in Shenchi County, the scale is rapidly expanding, get the news, Fan Zhongyun in the name of Li Xun for the first time, gather all the troops, leave You Chong's headquarters of 4,000 soldiers and horses to defend Wu'an City, with Yuan He and Shan Qiu as the vanguard, lead 5,000 troops, and go straight to Shenchi County, without giving the mob any time to prepare, and the opportunity to organize and form, a big victory, killing more than 20,000 people, and driving the remaining mob to the northernmost Wuzhuo County, and then, Yuan He led the army to chase north, and more than 100,000 mobs, forming a confrontation, In the end, Zhao Wei led 2,000 troops and stationed in Linxia County, the easternmost part of Wuzhou, to cut off the way for the mob to flee east into Xiazhou.

The overall situation of Wuzhou, as far as the current situation is concerned, is coming very quickly and fiercely, but under Fan Zhongyun's decisive measures, it has been controlled to a certain extent, although the number of mobs is large, but the weapons are poor, the quality is very poor, the strength of Yuan He and Shan Qiu is only 5,000, and they can deal with it in a short time.

At the end of the letter, Fan Zhongyun asked Li Xun to return to Wuzhou immediately, he was not there, once the situation deteriorated, people's hearts fluctuated, and he was in danger of collapsing himself without a fight.

For this point, Li Xun understands Fan Zhongyun's considerations, he is the governor of Wuzhou, when he is away, although he gives Fan Zhongyun the right to act on his behalf, but this is not a formal appointment, there is no legal constraint, Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and Fan Zhongyun know each other, and they also know that they trust and respect him very much, so when they are no longer there, Fan Zhongyun's words, they will listen, but Yuan He, You Chong, and Gan Tuyuan will not necessarily think so, once the situation is critical, Fan Zhongyun's orders, these people will not necessarily obey, So no matter what, Li Xun, as the governor of Wuzhou, at this stage, there is no need for him to recruit reinforcements or how many troops to bring back, his first task now is to immediately rush back to Wu'an City, preside over the overall situation, and stabilize people's hearts.

Zheng Chun and the others also finished reading the letter at this time.

"Li Xun, the mob is blocked in Wuzhuo County, the situation is under control, Taxian County is no longer in danger, let's hurry back to Wu'an City."

Yu Yanhui took the opportunity to speak: "Governor, I am willing to lead the troops to Wuzhou with you to help quell the chaos." ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Although the situation is under control, more than 100,000 mobs have gathered in one place, the army has been formed, a vicious battle is inevitable, how to win or lose, no one knows, if the situation really reaches the point of uncontrollable, you will become extremely important here, so you can't act rashly." ”

"That's what the governor said."

Yu Yanhui nodded, there was a hint of disappointment on his face, if he could follow Li Xun to Wuzhou, once the rebellion was successfully quelled, it would be a great achievement, but Li Xun was very worried, if the situation in Wuzhou reached the point where it was uncontrollable, Taxian would become the biggest obstacle for the mob to continue to advance eastward.

Subsequently.

Li Xun wrote a good note and asked Yu Yanhui to send someone back to Fengjing, and sent someone to Suzhou again to find out Wang Renzi's attitude towards sending troops to rescue Wuzhou.

After doing all this, Li Xun and Zheng Chun led 1,500 soldiers and galloped back towards Wu'an City.

It's only been a few days, but the whole Wuzhou has undergone such a big change.

Along the way, there was devastation, and scattered corpses could be seen from time to time.

In a village ahead, hundreds of corpses were erected in the wilderness by wooden stakes from the bottom to the top, piercing their bodies, and standing straight up in the wilderness, and the corpses of some women were scattered around, many of them naked.

Inside the village, there were bursts of shouting and killing, and after a while, calm was restored, and hundreds of soldiers detained more than 100 foreigners and walked from the village.

"Boss, how can these foreigners even kill their own people?"

Looking at this tragic scene, Jiang Daxiong asked in a low voice.

Li Xun shook his head: "The thugs have no humanity to talk about, in their opinion, as long as they are alive, they are the target of hunting." ”

Jiang Daxiong sighed: "Innocent people, what's the use of killing them?" ”

Li Xun pursed his lips and did not speak, this is the first time he has seen such a scene.

"Governor, it's all cleaned up."

Hou Quan rode to the front and reported with his hands.

Li Xun looked at the crowd coming from afar and did not speak.

There were more than 100 people, there were more than 30 women, the old Bai Fang was pale, the younger one was only six or seven years old, all of them were naked, some were crying and crying, and some were stunned, like walking corpses.

When they got closer, Li Xun looked at the seventy or eighty men, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Hou Quan whispered from the side: "When we rushed in, hundreds of men gathered all the women in the village and forcibly ......."

Li Xun's face had a cold look, and Sen said coldly: "Don't they like to kill people and then stand on wooden stakes?" Let them taste it, too. ”

"Governor, isn't that so..."

Hou Quan's face was a little unbearable.

"Execute it immediately."

"Yes, Governor, the last general will take the order."

These people were about to die, but there were few begging for mercy, but they looked at Li Xun and the others with fierce and hideous eyes, until they were pulled down and all executed.

"Li Xun, I'm very strange, why don't they ask for it, aren't they really afraid of death?"

Zheng Chun said.

"Mental and spiritual madness, simple means, can no longer make them sober."

Li Xun's expression was cold, before he came back, he still had too many ideas, hoping to solve it in the most peaceful way, but now it seems that any persuasion and soft means may not have much effect, even if it is barely suppressed, it is also a symptom but not a cure, the emotions of these foreigners are like explosives, maybe one day it will break out again, Li Xun has now decided to suppress this riot by the most severe means, since they can't be scared mentally, then completely eliminate it physically.
