Chapter 556 - Calculation in Calculation (I)
The duplicate chapter has been modified, everyone can rest assured to subscribe, and tomorrow I will find an editor to modify the name.
The Song State did not hesitate to cut off the land of the half of the county of the Zhao State, but did not give the Zhao State decent food, which was a great shame.
However, the matter of spring ploughing is heavier than Mount Tai, and the Zhao court hates the Song State, but has no time and no heart to argue with the Song State.
It is imperative that spring ploughing must be actively resumed, perhaps, the spring ploughing season has been missed, but spring ploughing must still be carried out, and how much can be recovered.
There was no safe source of seeds, so Zhao Mu could only instruct the ministers to exchange the remaining cooked grain in the treasury for the seeds in the hands of the people of Zhao State, so as to make up for the deficit and strive to minimize the loss.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, the court sent troops to snatch the grain in the hands of the people before the month, and when the spring ploughing, the cooked grain was given to the people, but there was no sign of seedlings.
The court did not have time to deal with it, and in the west of Handan City, there was a riot in a relatively close place, and hundreds of people gathered on their own to rebel against the court.
If you don't resist, you will starve to death sooner or later, and if you resist Zhao Guo's court, you will also die, and if you don't resist, you will die, and if you don't resist, you will die, and the people will be in dire straits, and the food grabbing will simply add fuel to the fire.
At present, the seeds on which we depend for our livelihood cannot grow food, and the anger that has been accumulated for months has finally erupted because of the seed problem.
Local county and state officials quickly suppressed an uprising of hundreds of people, but the rebel forces were like sparks, and within days, many villages revolted.
The momentum was not large, but it developed rapidly with the momentum of wildfires, and the speed at which the government quelled the uprising was far less than the number of rebel troops.
In the Handan Palace, Zhao Mu learned of the people in the west and hurriedly sent Xu Wenhao to try to lobby with soft means to nip the rebellion in the bud, but Xu Wenhao never arrived in the west, and the news came that it was getting worse and worse.
At the same time, the state and county government soldiers also joined the people's riots, thousands of people, and plundered the families in the state, and the mighty Handan City came.
At the same time, as the spring ploughing incident continued to brew, the closer the rebel troops got closer to Handan City, the number of rebel troops increased, and in just a few days, the number of rebel troops reached 30,000.
For a while, Zhao Mu completely realized the seriousness of the problem, these people were unarmed, they didn't have decent equipment, and on the surface, they didn't pose much of a threat.
If it is not quelled in time, the number of insurrectionary troops will increase, and the phenomenon of breeding tigers will occur.
Zhao Mu and the ministers of the DPRK and China were completely panicked, and they did not expect the speed of the march of the rebel troops and the speed of their number of people, which would increase to 30,000 within a few days.
Such a huge number, even if it cannot be compared with the number of guards of the Beijing Division of Handan City for the time being, if it continues to spread, the rebel army will definitely surround Handan City.
To pacify, pacify, and forcibly suppress, to solve the threat brought by the uprising, in order to retain the throne, the only way to rely on iron-blooded means, with lightning speed, crush the rebel troops, and before they reach Handan City, they will all be annihilated.
Without the slightest pity for the rebel troops, Zhao Mu sent members of the Jingshi Guard, 50,000 cavalry, to the Western Front to forcibly suppress the rebel army.
At this time, Zhao Mu was physically and mentally exhausted and deeply realized the difficulties of being an emperor. Yan Guo looked around, eyeing Zhao Guo, Zhao was in turmoil, and sooner or later he would be annexed by Yan State in internal and external troubles.
He hated, hated Lin Shuying, cut off the territory of Zhao State, and replaced the seeds, instead of resolving the urgent need, it caused internal strife in Zhao, and it was he who made the situation in Zhao completely deteriorate.
He hated Lin Feng, and Lin Feng pressed forward step by step, letting Zhao Guo fall into a state of being annexed.
Song Guo negotiated with Zhao Guo and agreed to Zhao Guo's conditions for cutting land for grain, Lin Shuying immediately sent someone to pass the details to Lin Feng who was in Yanjing City.
Lin Feng received the news, about ten days later, after reading the news, he was depressed and unhappy for several days, and he held a grudge against Lin Shuying's treacherous behavior.
The state of Zhao had no money and no food, and its national strength was weakened sharply, which happened to be a good time for the state of Yan to fall into the well and quickly annex the state of Zhao.
In order to obtain the territory of Zhao State, Lin Shuying secretly funded Zhao State, as if he was preparing to let Zhao Yan and the two countries fight bloodily, and Song State would reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the blood thorn lurking in Zhao sent back the news, a few days ago, the county west of Handan City. The people rose up and launched a riot, gathering 30,000 people in a few days, and rushed to Handan City.
Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered Lin Shuying's actions, and secretly sighed that the other party was insidious, secretly deceiving Zhao Guo, but Mingli teased himself, obviously helping Yan Guo to calculate Zhao Guo, but let himself hold a grudge against her.
Temporarily putting aside Lin Shuying's teasing of himself, Lin Feng shifted his attention to Zhao Guo.
The people revolted, and the initial army was in full swing, but it could not last long, and he believed that Zhao Guohu's army had the ability to quickly quell the uprising.
At present, the most important question is who will quell the uprising of the three famous generals of Zhao State, and no matter who returns to Handan City to quell the rebel army, it will be a good opportunity for the Yan army to attack Zhao State.
Even if the three generals who were at the border pass did not return to Handan City to judge, if there was a civil strife in Zhao State, the strength would only be weakened by a few points, and then, even if Yan State did not take the initiative to march, it only needed to consume with the Zhao army, fight patience, fight for food, and the Tiger Army would be defeated without a fight.
Considering that Lin Shuying was secretly calculating against Yan Guo, he must also quickly deal with Zhao Guo and turn his troops to Zheng Guo, so the famous general Ma Wu, who hindered Lin Xiao's army from going to Handan City, would definitely die.
Therefore, he ordered Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng to fabricate evidence of Ma Wu's dealings with Zhao Shide, strive for ironclad evidence, and use Zhao Mu's hand to borrow a knife to kill people.
Moreover, according to the news transmitted by the blood thorn, the rumors that Zhao Shide and Ma Wu were in contact with him had spread before almost aroused the suspicion of Ma Wu in the Zhao court. This time, fabricating evidence that Ma Wu took the initiative to contact Zhao Shide will definitely hit with one blow.
For most of February, Zhao Mu focused his attention on quelling the rebellion, and the rebel army was initially in full swing, with great signs of rushing towards Handan City.
It's a pity that after all, it was a group of chickens and dogs, 50,000 Beijing division guards were killed, and the rebel army had no power to resist at all, and in the rest of the month, most of the 30,000 rebel troops were annihilated, and a small number of rebels retreated to the mountains and forests to resist stubbornly, but they couldn't set off any stormy waves.
At this moment, Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, with a wry smile on his face, the rebel army was short, but it consumed a lot of money and grain in Zhao State, and most of the grain exchanged for land was wasted, and in just one month, Zhao State's national strength declined again.
Fortunately, on the road of endless heaven, Ma Wu defeated the Xinzhao army twice on the eastern front, and blocked the Xinzhao army and the 100,000 legions under Lin Xiao in Qingyang County, and the opponent could not move an inch.
For a while, all of Zhao Mu's suspicions about Ma Wu disappeared in an instant.
The three generals were outside, only Ma Wu was victorious, and Zhao Mu was ready to support Ma Wu wholeheartedly.
Once Ma Wu is fortunate enough to defeat the Yan army's army on the Eastern Front, the Tiger Ben Army will have the opportunity to break into the Yan State by relying on the Cangyan Mountain Trail, and the current urgent needs of the Zhao State seem to be resolved.
At the beginning of March, Zhao Mu was always immersed in the fantasy of Ma Wu defeating the new Zhao army and the Lin Xiao army, after all, after experiencing hardships and hardships, it seemed that Zhao Guo was going to come again.
It's a pity that the news brought by Xu Wenhao soon completely destroyed all Zhao Mu's illusions.
Last night, someone secretly put the news of Ma Wu and Zhao Shide's collusion outside Xu Wenhao's mansion, and in the early morning, the family picked up the letter and quickly handed it to Xu Wenhao.
After browsing, Xu Wenhao felt that the matter was important, and sent someone to inform Yu Qianhang to arrest the members of the Yan State Blood Thorn in Handan City, and at the same time, he quickly entered the palace and prepared to inform Zhao Mu of the news.
According to the letters, Ma Wu defeated the Xinzhao army twice, because after the two sides discussed with each other, the Xinzhao army feigned defeat and was really ready to lure the enemy into annihilating Ma Wu's Huben army.
At the same time, the new Zhao army dressed up as a tiger army, with Ma Wu returned to Handan City, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Handan City Beijing Division Guards and Zhao Mu and others, they took Handan City by surprise, very few Zhao Mu, welcomed Zhao Shide back to Beijing, and Zhao surrendered to Yan.
When he first learned the news, Xu Wenhao was completely shocked, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, if the content of the letter was true, Ma Wu and Zhao Shide's ambitions were too great.
Once the two sides implement it perfectly, everyone in Handan City will be captured alive, and what awaits them will be a dead end.
Zhao Mu browsed the letters, his expression changed back and forth, and suddenly asked coldly: "What did the spies planted next to Ma Wu say?" ”
He didn't want Ma Wu to defect at this moment, after all, not long ago, he was enthusiastically looking forward to Ma Wu defeating the new Zhao army, defeating Ma Wu, and the Zhao army breaking into the Yan Kingdom and changing the situation between the two countries?
Unexpectedly, the dream did not come true, but he received the news of Ma Wu's betrayal, which hit him too hard.
"There is no news for the time being, and the news that came back not long ago indicates that there is no movement in Ma Wu." Xu Wenhao replied, but said mysteriously: "Maybe Ma Wu is cautious, and it is not impossible for the spies planted by him to not notice it. ”
Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Xu Wenhao doesn't want Ma Wu to return to Handan City, Zhao Shide returns, at that time, he, the whole family will definitely die in the hands of Zhao Shide, so he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
Zhao Mu nodded, agreeing with Xu Wenhao's conjecture, Zhao Shide is not an idle person, Ma Wu is known as a famous general, and he must also be a thoughtful person, if the two conspire, they will definitely not be discovered by outsiders.
However, he still didn't believe that Ma Wu would rebel, after all, even if Zhao Shide returned to Handan City and registered as the emperor of Zhao State, at this moment, he surrendered to Yan State and had no real power at all.
Ma Wu conspired with him, what could he get, could it be that he was scheming to support Zhao Shide to ascend the throne, and Ma Wu would become a prisoner of Yan State, it was simply a groundless thing.
"Good news, good news news in the southeast!" While the two were discussing, the high-pitched voice of a spy came from outside.
The last hope in Zhao Mu's heart was broken, and instead of the joy of victory, he couldn't help but shudder.
That's right, the narrative in the letter is correct, Ma Wu won, and he should be preparing to return to Handan City.
