Chapter 684: Huzhou

Li Yu stayed in the capital, waiting for the vassal kings from all over the country to send soldiers and horses, and then implemented the Tui En Order.

Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yanjin led the 5,000 tiger and wolf army to Huzhou.

Huzhou is on the west side of the Tang Kingdom, about ten days away from the capital.

Although the Tang Kingdom is larger than other small countries, it is really very large, and it is not, from the south to the north, if you are fast, it will only take four or five days, and if you have an army, it will only take ten days and half a month.

Huzhou is no exception.

The journey was not far, but they had only been walking for a few days, and they found a lot of fleeing people on the way.

Obviously, some people choose to rebel because they can't survive, but most of the people don't have the courage, all they want is to be able to live and have enough to eat.

From the mouths of these fleeing people, Du Ruhui inquired about some things.

These things were similar to what they had guessed.

In the severe drought in Huzhou, Wang Shisan not only did not provide relief to them, but also took the opportunity to increase the price of grain, resulting in many people not having enough to eat, and finally caused a rebellion.

In today's Huzhou, not only is the rebellion serious, but the survival of many people has also become a problem.

In addition, Fang Xuanling also inquired a little about the rebels.

Now there is only one rebel army in Huzhou, led by a man named Hu Wei, about seven or eight thousand people, all of whom are desperate people, and they are angry.

For these rebels, Wang 13 has encircled and suppressed, but when these rebels are surrounded and suppressed, they will hide on a big mountain in Huzhou.

The mountain is very large, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Wang 13 attacks, the losses are too serious, so he doesn't care about them, as long as Hu Wei's rebels don't come to disrupt his rule.

After understanding these situations, Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, judging from these circumstances, whether it was Wang Thirteen or the rebels, it was not easy to deal with.

And at this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly scolded: "This Wang Thirteen, no wonder the Holy Lord wants to kill him, it turns out that he is so not human, not only does he not open a warehouse to release grain and relieve the people, but he also takes the opportunity to raise prices, the people can't live anymore, it's strange if they don't rebel." ”

As he spoke, he lifted his plate axe and said, "I went to Huzhou to see if my old Cheng didn't cut him." ”

Cheng Biting Jin was very angry, Fang Xuanling saw him like this, but smiled: "General Cheng said that he was going to cut Wang Thirteen, but is it true?" ”

"Is this still fake?"

"Okay, then after you go, Cheng Yanjin might as well act like this............"

Fang Xuanling muttered to Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin wrote them down one by one.

After walking for a few more days, I finally came to the boundary of Huzhou.

There is a great drought in Huzhou, and the crops have dried up, but if they are guided and irrigated, these crops may still be able to live, even if they can't survive, they can survive by irrigating and planting other crops.

But no one did this, and Wang Thirteen took the opportunity to get rich.

After Fang Xuanling saw this, he let out a long sigh.

It may not be the drought that really led to the rebellion, but those who made a fortune, such as Wang 13.

There are many refugees outside Huzhou City, they may not have eaten for a long time, and the whole person looks weak, haggard, and weak, but when they are close to Huzhou City, there are fewer refugees, and they can hardly be seen.

After Fang Xuanling came to the city, he was about to lead troops into the city, but was stopped by the doorman.

"I need to go through my general before I can enter the city."

Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll go to General Wang quickly, and I'll say that I, Fang Xuanling, was ordered to bring five thousand tiger and wolf troops to help him break the rebels." ”

The doorman was ordered to retreat, and after a short time came to the general's mansion and told Wang 13 about the situation.

After hearing that Fang Xuanling was coming, Wang 13 also brought five thousand tiger and wolf troops, and his brows condensed slightly.

Wang Thirteen was burly, but his eyes were slender, and after thinking like this for a moment, he said, "Tell that Fang Xuanling that it is okay for him to enter the city, and the tiger and wolf army must set up camp outside the city." ”

The strength of the tiger and wolf army, Wang 13 has heard of it, Fang Xuanling brought the tiger and wolf army here, which made him more or less uneasy, if such a powerful army enters the city, I am afraid that it will never be something he can control.

So he had to be a little more cautious.

After the doorman ran back, he told Fang Xuanling about the situation, and Fang Xuanling heard that Wang Shisan actually wanted to let him leave the Tiger Wolf Army outside the city, his face changed slightly, but he didn't show it too much, and quickly shouted: "This is naturally no problem." ”

After speaking, the city gate opened, and Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yanjin entered the city, and were soon led to the general's mansion.

After seeing Wang Thirteen, Fang Xuanling said: "General Wang, this Huzhou rebel army is really rampant." Wang 13 was a little taboo about Fang Xuanling's identity, so his attitude was not bad, and said: "Who said no, it's too rampant, General Ben has already ordered people to prepare to save them and give them food, but who knew that they were fooled by that Hu Weiyi, so they rebelled, but it's good, with the Holy Tiger and Wolf Army here, it will be much easier to break them." ”

Listening to Wang Thirteen's meaning, the rebels were ready to be handed over to Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin stood beside him, very unhappy in his heart, but thinking of Fang Xuanling's explanation, he could only endure it and did not have a seizure.

"This General Wang can rest assured, Lord Ben is here to destroy those rebels, and tomorrow I will lead the troops to encircle and suppress those rebels, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" "It's just that the rebels have been extinguished, and in the end they can't completely solve the problem of Huzhou, the problem of Huzhou is still in a great drought, when I came, the saint gave me a drawing, which said that there are methods and models for making waterwheels, but I am afraid that General Wang will find some craftsmen to make these waterwheels as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling took out the drawings, obviously to hand over this matter to Wang Thirteen, Wang Thirteen was reluctant to spend money, but if he didn't spend money, Fang Xuanling had to ask him to lead the troops to destroy the enemy, after all, he guarded Huzhou, this is his duty, and now he can spend some money to avoid quelling the traitors, he thinks this business can still be done.

So after thinking about it for a while, he responded, and Fang Xuanling saw that Wang Thirteen had responded, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "It's better to be fast, otherwise it will be useless." ”

Wang 13 nodded: "I'll order you to go down later, make some waterwheels, and it will be enough in a few days." After saying a few more words, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yanjin went to the post house to rest, and after they left, Wang Shisan immediately sent someone to keep an eye on the two of them, but he also ordered the matter of making a waterwheel, after all, he guarded Huzhou, if the matter of Huzhou was not resolved as soon as possible, Li Yu would not necessarily spare him. Therefore, he also hopes that Huzhou can settle down as soon as possible, anyway, the money that should be earned has already been almost earned.
