Time flies, and another ten days pass like flowing water, and the day has come for the Feng family army to send troops to continue to pursue and suppress the rebellion, originally Lin Feng wanted to leave Zhou Chen in Chengdu Mansion, and at that time he also joked that after all, he had just gotten married, lest his younger sister Zhen Ying say that he was unreasonable. However, after the joke, Zhou Chen still resolutely followed the army and left Zhen Ying in Chengdu Mansion.

And Biliu was also left in Chengdu Mansion by Lin Feng, one to avoid the suffering of the military, and the other to stay with Zhen Ying, because after Zhen Ying's wedding, within a few days, the Silla delegation left a large number of gifts from Chaohe and returned to Silla. And Zhen Ying is surrounded by a few servants of the Silla Kingdom who came to the Tang Dynasty together, and she can be described as a "lonely person" in Chengdu Mansion.

After the Feng family army left, the defense of the city was overseen by Zhong Lihao's Shence army, and the local yamen was responsible for it in detail.

This time the Feng family army went out, and the morale was significantly improved, with the scarlet gilt silk of the "Loyal Wu Feng Family Army" written by the Tang Dynasty Emperor, the eyes of every soldier seemed to be shining, even if the march was accelerated, the joy on the face could still completely cover up the fatigue of the bumps.

In this dispatch, the Fengjia army totaled 41,000 people, 3,000 thunder pioneer regiments, 8,000 winged cavalry regiments, 6,000 heavy logistics soldiers, 14,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 light cavalry, of which the foot soldiers were all equipped with war horses to speed up the march.

The troops were divided into four routes, starting from Chengdu Prefecture, and the 8,000 winged cavalry regiment set off along the Minjiang River under the leadership of Mao Hao and Mao Xi, and then crossed due west to reach the east of Yazhou City, cutting off the connection between Yazhou and the rebels in Jiazhou.

The 3,000 Benlei Pioneer Regiment was led by Pan Zhigang, along the southwest of Chengdu Prefecture to the area of Pingle Ancient Town, as the vanguard arrived in the north of Yazhou City, set up camp, and received the rear army. Then, Lin Feng, Li Xiaofeng, Yin Bo and others led 10,000 light horsemen to follow, followed closely as a follow-up.

The last baggage army, the imperial court and the Chengdu government of Jiannan Province were responsible for collecting cargo ships, and under the escort of 14,000 foot soldiers led by Zhou Chen on the shore, escorted the whole army of heavy grain and grass along the Minjiang River, and the winged cavalry regiment arrived first as the response, and all the waterway baggage was handed over to the general of Zhuguo, the envoy of Jiannan Province, and Zhuge Cheng, the squire of the Ministry of Works.

In 883 A.D., at the beginning of January, 41,000 Fengjia troops set out from Chengdu Mansion one after another, advancing by land and water, and marched to Yazhou, the city where the rebels were strong.

In just three days, 8,000 winged cavalry had arrived outside the east gate of Yazhou, and at the same time camped in a wilderness fifteen miles away from the city, and Mao Hao had already sent Mao Xi to lead a cavalry regiment of 1,000 people to occupy the small dock of the Minjiang River to Yazhou, just waiting for the follow-up army to arrive.

On the fourth day, the 3,000 Benlei Pioneer Regiment also arrived at the destination, and this was still Pan Zhigang's permission to stay and play in Pingle Ancient Town and rest for a day. After arriving, Pan Zhigang dispersed all the scouts under his command and began to survey the terrain and draw a map.

At this time, Yazhou, after Chen Jingxuan and others fled here, they were worried for a few days, and waited until the scouts reported that the Feng family army did not take the opportunity to chase after them, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and it really allowed Chen Jingxuan and others to have a good rest.

The rebels who escaped from Chengdu Mansion and the original defenders of Yazhou, Chen Jingxuan took advantage of the month left for him by the Feng family army to recruit heroes in nearby states and counties. Because at this time, it was almost the situation of fighting against the water, and Chen Jingxuan was not a stingy person, so he immediately scattered a large amount of property that he had collected over the years, and even recruited more than 50,000 recruits in just one month, plus the original soldiers, the result was quite surprising, there were 100,000 people.

So many people served as soldiers to eat food, and the battle of Hongfeng Mountain in Chengdu Prefecture made Chen Jingxuan's grain and grass almost lost, but after all, just after the autumn harvest, the people of Shu in the country of abundance had more surplus grain at home, and under a large number of property, Chen Jingxuan quickly changed enough grain and grass to support an army of 100,000 for nearly a year.

Just this confidence in stubborn resistance and the means to be able to do so in a short period of time had to surprise Lin Feng and the others who learned the news, and they couldn't help but secretly praise the other party's cleverness in their hearts.

"Fuck! This old dog Chen is really capable of collecting! As soon as he arrived at the barracks and entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xiaofeng scolded with a grin: "It's a pity that such a good place in Shu is given to Chen Laogou!" Let this old thing collect so much money in a few years! ”

"Yes! This old thing! Pan Zhigang on the side poured hot tea for everyone, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The scout team sent has also investigated!" This old dog Chen is really shrewd! The rabbit cubs under his command are also more shrewd than the other! even counted the surplus food of the common people to expropriate and expropriate! ”

"Huh? How do you calculate it? With the help of his own soldiers, Lin Feng, who had just removed the maple scale armor, was also interested when he heard it, and couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Uhhhh How to say it! Pan Zhigang groaned for a moment, then looked up at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Let's give you an analogy, Master Hou!" For example, a family needs 20 stone of grain a year, but this family has harvested 35 stone this year! Chen Jingxuan will be estimating the nearby production! Then, without making the people under his rule rebel because they have no food to eat, they will collect food to the maximum! As I said earlier, about ten stone of grain will be levied, leaving only twenty-five stone for the people! ”

"Huh! This old thing! What a treacherous fox! After listening to the examples, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly, but everyone also had to admire this technique.

After all, the low-class people who live on agriculture are now self-sufficient in eating, drinking, clothing, and housing, and the coarse linen clothes they usually wear are basically made by the women in the family, and even the wine is mostly brewed with their own grain, and as long as there is food and they don't go hungry, I'm afraid not many people are willing to risk their lives to resist.

And in this way, as the actual controller of Jiannan Dao, Chen Jingxuan can collect every drop of blood and sweat of the people under his rule, and he can squeeze the last drop of oil and water from the people under his rule to the greatest extent.

But just mentioned Chen Jingxuan's shamelessness, everyone present can be regarded as from a poor background, naturally one by one hated a big corrupt official like Chen Jingxuan, and all kinds of scolding and curses came out of everyone's mouths, turning out Chen Jingxuan's ancestors and descendants for dozens of generations, and finally Li Xiaofeng reminded everyone with a smile that Chen Jingxuan's descendants had been killed, so everyone didn't need to curse his descendants, they just needed to find an opportunity to dig up their ancestral graves. The words made everyone laugh, but it made everyone feel extremely happy.
