At this moment, in the mansion of a certain Xichuan official, the lights were dancing, and the officials in the mansion were dressing in the dormitory, preparing to go out to visit. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the door, and the official was walking out of the door, when he saw a flying light shooting in front of him, and when he opened his eyes quickly, the flying knife had already stabbed him in the center of his eyebrows. Before the official could scream, he fell to the ground and died. At the same time, another dark shadow fell, took the flying knife from the official's eyebrows, and left quickly. When the people from his house arrived, he saw the old man lying in a pool of blood, and he was immediately frightened and shouted. Speaking of the late part, this place was just chaotic, and exclamations were heard in several places not far away, and soon spread to all parts of the city. It turned out that just now, more than a dozen Xichuan civil and military officers were assassinated. The torches in the school yard in the city were messy, and they rushed to the shouting from all over the city.

Suddenly, dozens of black shadows sneaked into the various camps of the school grounds, set fire everywhere, and then took advantage of the chaos to take a batch of armor and quickly left. As for Zhang Fei's house, it was densely packed with people at this time, and all the soldiers and horses rushed over. said that Zhang Fei rushed to the stable murderously, but there was no one in sight, and he shouted several times, and no one answered. After a while, panicked shouts surged everywhere in the city, Zhang Feihuan glared, and when he wanted to drive out, the gate of his home had already been blocked by the swarming soldiers and horses. Zhang Fei hurriedly told the people to disperse, but soon most of the people who came from the school field arrived, and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic.

After a while, the city suddenly burst into flames, and it turned out to be the location of the school field in that direction. Seeing this, Zhang Fei was in a hurry and hurriedly taught people to put out the fire. At this time, the people of the flying kite had already put on their armor and secretly infiltrated the chaotic army, scattered their men and horses, and rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, waiting for the opportunity, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

At this time, the soldiers of the four gates of Chengdu were in chaos, and when they heard that there was a fire in the military camp of the school, the guards of each gate rushed to fight the fire. At this moment, the flying kites lurking in the four gates attacked one after another and went to seize the door. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and the soldiers of all the sects saw that the people of the flying kite were wearing their own military armor and were defenseless. However, the people of the flying kite are all good at martial arts, so they all have to successfully escape and run outside the city. The four guards immediately sent troops to chase after them. Unbeknownst to them, the flying kite and the centaurs were agile, and soon sneaked into the surrounding mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace.

At dawn the next day, the fire was extinguished. There was still chaos in the city, and Liu Bei heard that nearly a dozen Xichuan civil and military officers had been assassinated last night, and he was furious. Soon after, I heard that the guards of the four gates came to report that at the fifth watch last night, dozens of men and horses escaped from the city in the chaos. Liu Bei immediately guessed that it must be those assassin maniacs, and when he saw that his imperial capital was useless, he was even more angry. At present, the four guards were all heavily punished by Liu Bei. Subsequently, Zhang Fei entered the hall and reported the incident of last night. At this time, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others also rushed over. Like Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other important ministers, there are heavy soldiers in the house, so the flying kite did not start last night. Liu Bei learned that Zhang Fei had fallen for a trick and scolded Zhang Fei for having no plan. When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face froze, and he persuaded Liu Bei.

"The king is angry. Liangguan These assassin maniacs are not only skilled, proficient in the art of assassination, but also know strategy and act resolutely. What's even more intimidating is that these fanatics only pick out the laxity and do what they can, but when they do something, they will kill with one blow, rigorously and orderly. Such an elite centaur is really one in ten thousand. If Liang is correct, these people must have been trained since childhood to have such skills. Before, I didn't know that these people were powerful, so it was inevitable that there would be some negligence. It is no wonder that Yide is therefore in the scheme. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei suppressed his anger and asked Zhuge Liang.

"These fanatics are so rampant, and now they are all over Xichuan, and officials everywhere are at peace day and night. In addition, these fanatics are extremely treacherous, can the military advisor have a strategy to deal with it? ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered, and after a while of silence, he said to Liu Bei.

"The king doesn't have to worry about it. At that moment, you can send an order to all counties in Xichuan and order the officials of each county to close the city gates, investigate the people inside and outside the city day and night, and then strictly guard them. ”

"It's hard to guard against such elite people. I wonder if there is a way for the military advisor to know where he belongs? ”

"As long as the king does what Liang says. In this way, there will be fish that will slip through the net. When the time comes, you can take a closer look. ”

Liu Bei listened to this, and after discussing with Zhuge Liang, he made an appointment according to what he said. After five or six days, as Zhuge Liang said, there were still many flying kite people in Xichuan who could not retreat, but without exception, when they were about to be captured, they either fought to the death or pulled out their swords to kill themselves. Several Xichuan soldiers were killed by flying kites when they were arrested. Zhuge Liang heard the reports from the county officials and found that these people were good at throwing knives. Several soldiers pointed out that this flying knife skill is particularly similar to today's Tang Wangwen Bufan. Therefore, Zhuge Liang secretly noticed that these assassins must be related to the Western Tang Dynasty.

Since the assassination in Chengdu that night, the flying kites lurking in various parts of Xichuan have withdrawn one after another and rushed back to Chang'an to return to Xu Huang. In this assassination, Class A, B, and C flying kites were dispatched, with a total of more than 1,000 people and 68 people killed. Assassinated Xichuan officials, large and small, a total of fifty or sixty people. Xu Huang heard that there were nearly 100 casualties in the flying kite, and his face was slightly dark. It can be known that these flying kites were built by Wenhan for nearly ten years, and each of them is a dead man who is proficient in the art of assassination. Three thousand flying kites, the dead one has not worked hard for more than ten years, and it is difficult to replenish. Now, with so many casualties, how can Xu Huang not feel heartache.

That night, Xu Huang entered the palace to see Wen Han and reported the flying kite's actions in Xichuan. Wen Han heard that nearly a hundred flying kites had died, and his face was also dark. At this time, there were soldiers in Xiliang and Bingzhou who reported that the Hu people of the Xiqiang and Beiqiang tribes rebelled one after another. There are more than 20,000 Hu people in Xiliangzu who are in rebellion, and now they occupy Jincheng. In Bingzhou, the thieves were even more powerful, with 30,000 or 40,000 Hu rebelling and occupying Shuofang. Wen Han suddenly changed color when he heard the news, and asked anxiously about the past.

It turned out that in order to conquer the Hu people, Wen Han not only forbade Hu people to speak Hu Wen, but also banned all Hu people's etiquette, and made Hu people learn Chinese etiquette, and only spoke Chinese. The Hu people live for it and cannot be resisted. After that, Wen Han drove all the Hu people into slaves, cultivated for three years, and repaired the city for two years, so that they could be exempted from slave status and enjoy the treatment of Han Chinese. And among them, the cultivation has been eighty-two points. The government takes eight, and the Hu people get two. As for repairing the city, the Hu people all had food and salary, and although it was meager, they could still make a living. Although the policy set by Wen Han was overbearing, it did not force the Hu people into a corner. After all, as long as you survive five years of slavery, you can get the same treatment as the Han people. A few years ago, Tang officials enforced the law impartially, so they were safe. Later, because Wenhan had been fighting abroad for many years, his jurisdiction over Bingzhou and Xiliang was relaxed. Therefore, many officials have evil intentions, and they secretly accumulate wealth with the benefits of their positions, and almost all the income from the cultivation of the Hu people has been swallowed. The food and wages for repairing the city were also shared among the officials. Worse still, some officials extended the time limit for the Hu people's enslavement. The Hu people were so persecuted that they fled several times, but most of them were arrested and severely punished, most of them were whipped to death, and their bodies were thrown into the wild. And those who escaped, hearing that Gao Shun, the governor of the state, was a loyal and righteous person, and wanted to go to Taiyuan to expose it, but they were all arrested along the way. Even if someone rushed to Taiyuan and the officials guarded each other, the Hu people had not yet seen Gao Shun, so they were secretly resolved. The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked. Officials were greedy for money, and the soldiers of the army under their command were also indulgent, often lusting against Hu women and forcibly seizing their wealth.

The Hu people in Xiqiang and Beiqiang can be said to be called every day should not be, and the earth is not spiritual. In the end, he was cornered and had to rebel. In January, the Xiqiang Hu people forcibly occupied Jincheng and killed all the officials in the city, and the Hu people from all over Xiliang gathered in Jincheng, and there were 20,000 Xiqiang thieves. In the land of Beiqiang, in the cities of Shuofang, between half a month, the Beiqiang Hu people rebelled one after another and killed all the officials of Shuofang County. There were nearly 30,000 or 40,000 thieves. Gao Shun learned that Hu had rebelled, thinking that Hu people were thieves and thieves, so he immediately wanted to raise troops to suppress them, and Wang Lang happened to be preparing for the state at that time. After Wang Lang learned about this, he first taught Gao Shun to investigate the matter thoroughly. Gao Shun has always respected Wang Lang, so he followed his words and ordered Wang Lang to investigate thoroughly. Wang Lang has always acted toughly, enforced the law impartially, and was selfless. Soon it was discovered that Hu Fang was the cause of the rebellion, and there were nearly more than 100 officials implicated, most of whom were children of wealthy families in the northwest, and many of them were the heirs and relatives of the important ministers under Wen Han. In a high position, there are as many as three people who are too guarded, and Gao Shun's second son Gao Feng is even implicated!

Gao Shun was furious, and sent someone to arrest the offending officials on the same day, and his son Gao Feng was personally imprisoned by Gao Shun. Gao Shun then sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Shuofang, and at the same time sent people to report to Wen Han to explain what happened, and more than 100 officials, big and small, were waiting for Wen Han to fall. As for Xiliang, Li You also arrested dozens of officials one by one, and first sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to Jincheng to negotiate with the Hu people.

When Wen Han heard about the past, his face changed greatly, he was furious, and he roared angrily.

"These corrupt officials dare to exploit the people's fat and people's cream, and even more prostitute women, and forcibly seize other people's property, how different are they from beasts!!"

When Xu Huang heard this, he was afraid that Wen Han would be angry for a while, and he wanted to kill all the offending officials, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"The king is angry. Now that my Western Tang Dynasty has not long been established, many of these criminal officials are the heirs of important ministers under the command of the king. If you don't fall lightly, you will be punished. In this way, the officials of the court and the central government will be grateful for the kindness of the king, and after this incident, they will also strictly discipline his heirs and clansmen. ”

When Wen Han heard this, he glared at him and shouted coldly.

"Such beasts cannot be tolerated. It is a great favor not to investigate the fault of the poor discipline of the officials!! ”

After Wen Han finished drinking, he wrote a document and ordered that anyone who embezzles or accepts bribes will be punished according to law, and if there is any cover-up, the punishment will be increased together! After Wen Han finished repairing his book, he taught Xiliang and Bingzhou to return to his life. Xu Huang saw that Wen Han refused to listen to persuasion, and he was very worried.
