I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people. It is impossible for Liu Xie to let go of the opportunity to disturb Hebei's internal stability, and the more chaotic Hebei is, the more beneficial it will be to him, and of course the more chaotic Hebei is, the better.

When he learned that Yuan Xi went to find Bun Dun to send troops to help, Liu Xie already had a premonition that his opportunity was coming, so he did not rush to deal with Tian Feng, who retreated to Puyang and held on. However, the private transfers were very frequent, and the chess pieces that had been planted in various parts of Hebei in the early years were activated one after another, and the orders received were very uniform, waiting for the opportunity to provoke the relationship between Hebei and Karasuma.

And to the delight of all the chess pieces who received the order, before they could do anything, the Karasuma people themselves couldn't help but start sabotaging.

Originally, those Han army meticulous works were also going to direct and act in a few plays by themselves, so as to incite the people's dissatisfaction with the Karasuma people, but now they don't need to, the facts are there, all they have to do is to set an example, and then those who were bullied by the Karasuma people will follow suit and organize to take revenge on those Karasuma people who are lonely.

Yuan Xi miscalculated! He thought that Bunton would restrain his subordinates after listening to his warning, but now it seems that the Karasuma people not only did not restrain themselves, but instead became Bengali. Of course, this is also related to the continuous disappearance of the lone Karasuma people, but there is no cause or consequence, if it weren't for the Karasuma people themselves not following the rules, how could they be unexpected. And what's even worse is that when Yuan Xi knew about it, it was too late.

In order to take into account the overall situation, the silence of the local government caused the dissatisfaction of the people, and in addition to the secret incitement of the Han army, the people's distrust of the government reached a peak. Instead of seeking help from the government to uphold justice, the humiliated people chose to gang up to find the lone Karasuma people to take revenge. And the Karasuma people who were retaliated against also did not go to the government for help, but directly retaliated with the knife in their hands.

Just like a vicious circle, the contradictions between the Karasuma people and the Han people in Hebei are becoming more and more intense, and the government that should have played a mediating role has become an outsider.

The revenge of the Karasuma people was brutal, but the more this was the case, the more fierce the resistance of the Han people in Hebei. At first, it was just a dozen or dozens of people gathered together to pick out the lone Karasuma people, but later it became an organized scout party of hundreds or thousands of people attacking Karasuma.

Under the leadership of the Han army, guerrillas who fought to drive the Karasuma people out of their homes sprung up in the land of Hebei like mushrooms after a rain, they were elusive, they were for the people in peacetime, and they were soldiers in wartime, and the Karasuma people who fought no longer dared to act alone, even if they were patrolling the camp, they had to be more than 200 people in a collective dispatch.

This is Hebei, the territory of the Yuan family, as a guest, Bao Dun must also give Yuan Xi, the master, a little face, at this time, and cannot send a large number of troops to retaliate against the villages that may be hiding guerrillas. And Yuan Xi also has bitter words about the chaos under his rule.

He did not pay attention to this issue in the first place, and as a result, the people do not trust the government's guarantee at all. They would rather take up their own guns and avenge their bullied relatives and friends than believe the rhetoric of the government that swore that they would uphold justice for them.

They are all his own people, and Yuan Xi can't bear to attack his own people in order to give an explanation. But at this time, he could not continue to remain silent, the two families were now in a cooperative relationship, and if they broke up before they fought the real enemy, it would be a big loss.

"Yuan Xi, do you care about this matter? I can tell you, I can't hold back the men under me. Badun, who was also anxious, found Yuan Xi and complained. There's no way not to complain, Karasuma people's recent losses are a bit big, don't look at the losses of a few, a dozen, or at most twenty or thirty people at a time, but I can't stand the number of times. In less than a month, the number of non-war casualties in Karasuma has exceeded 1,000, and the revenge methods of those Han people are becoming more and more intense, and there was a poisoning incident in the army two days ago, and the loss of manpower is not much, but there are more than 200 war horses that died of poisoning.

The feeling of being in danger at any time is really uneasy, and Badun also wanted to deter those outlaws by killing chickens and monkeys, but the problem is that he and Yuan Xi are still collaborators, and if he is ruthless without Yuan Xi's approval, it will easily lead to the breakdown of the cooperative relationship.

As the legal heir Lou Ban grows older, the people who are not convinced by the power of Karasuma are ready to move, and once Ban Dun can't deal with this crisis, these people will inevitably attack him en masse and force him to return to the government Lou Ban, thus losing his authority.

"What do you want to do?" Yuan Xi also understood the difficulty of Bunton, and asked when he heard the words.

"If you can't deal with those people, then leave this matter to me."

“…… So what are you going to do with those people? ”

"Kill a hundred people, and don't be afraid that they will be restless and guard themselves."

"No, your killing will only intensify the contradictions and make the people resist more fiercely."

"But that's better than doing nothing. Yuan Xi, you are not me, you don't understand my difficulties. He said in a hurry.

"If you have a problem, don't I have one? You only think that your people will make things difficult for you, but have you ever thought about me? If I had agreed to your request, the people would have been embarrassed for me. Yuan Xi was also anxious, and yelled at Ratun.

"So what do you say? My people have lost more than a thousand, and those warriors have not died on the battlefield, but under the vile and shameless sneak attacks. ”

"Hmph, if they stay in the camp honestly, how can anything happen to them. I don't believe that the people can sneak into your army and attack your warriors. Yuan Xi sneered with some disdain.

"......" was dumbfounded. Those Karasuma people who lost their lives were indeed attacked because they left the camp unruly, but Yuan Xi spoke mercilessly, which made Bun Dun secretly dissatisfied in his heart.

……

An unpleasant meeting. Yuan Xi neither agreed to Badun's request nor could come up with effective countermeasures, and after the disappointed Badun left, he made up his mind, regardless of Yuan Xi's opinion, follow his own ideas first, otherwise his prestige in the clan would be questioned, which would have too great an impact on himself.

The revenge of the Karasuma people began, and it was only sneaky before, but now it has become open, ignoring the protest warnings of the government, and ordering his men to slaughter the villages within ten miles of the place where the Karasuma people were killed, hoping to deter people and restore the trust of the people.

This time the retaliation was successful, and several villages were reduced to rubble, but it also provoked greater resentment and hatred among the people. It's not just hatred of the Karasuma people, but also dissatisfaction with the government. Before the Karasuma people arrived, the people felt that it didn't matter who would collect their food, as long as they could be given a relatively peaceful day, they would be satisfied. But now it seems that the food that was previously handed over to the government was fed to the dogs.

It's not useful! If they knew that the government didn't care about them, it was better to keep the grain they handed over for their own consumption. Protest, protest, that top egg! Just shouting with lip service, without any actual action, what is the difference between that and the strong outside and the middle of the work.

Since the government can't be relied on, it can only rely on itself. More and more people organized themselves, and because of their dissatisfaction with the government, more and more people began to resist the payment of food, and they expelled the officials and chose their own leaders, as if to draw a line with the government.

Yuan Xi was shocked when he learned of this, and no longer had any hesitation at the moment, and urgently ordered the trial and deployment of troops to quell the rebellion. But in this way, it gave the Han army a pretext to play on the topic.

How could the army spontaneously organized by the people resist the counterinsurgency army personally transferred by the judges, and it was almost defeated after only the slightest resistance. However, although Yuan's army "recovered" the lost territory, it also lost the hearts of the people. Most of the people were driven back to their homes, but many more took refuge in the guerrillas who had previously organized to attack the Karasuma people.

It seems that Yuan Xi's backyard is stable, but in fact, it is an undercurrent, and with just a little spark, it may become a prairie fire. The silence of the people does not mean that they have accepted their fate, but like the volcano that is about to erupt, it may be detonated at any time.

The judge is very aware of this, but he is helpless in the face of this situation. It's not that there is no way, but there is no possibility of achieving it. As long as the Karasuma people are driven out of Hebei and the government comes forward to appease the people, except for a small number of people who have been personally harmed, most people will still choose to be a peaceful and self-respecting people.

But this method doesn't work. Now that the Karasuma people have arrived on the south bank of the Yellow River, they are about to cross the Yellow River and join forces with Yuan Xi to fight against the Han army. pointed at Badun to work hard for him, how could he choose to turn his face with Badun at this time for the sake of a few ordinary people.

There is no other way but to wait. He could only hope that Yuan Xi and Badun could join forces to defeat Liu Xie very quickly, only then could he persuade Yuan Xi to let Badun lead his troops out of Hebei as soon as possible, so as to start reassuring the people, and before that, there was no choice but to wait or wait.

But the judge wants to wait, but it doesn't mean that someone will accompany him to wait. Those Han soldiers who were ordered to set fire to the backyard of Hebei would not be lonely. Taking advantage of the people's distrust of the government and their hatred of the Karasuma people at this time, the Han army, who had taken the opportunity to become the leaders of various guerrilla units, was quietly conspiring to plan a greater upheaval.

Penglai, Qingzhou

Sun Ce was standing on the seashore looking into the distance, and Zhou Yu hurriedly walked over not far away. Sun Ce heard footsteps coming from behind him, and asked without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, "Is it Gong Jin?" ”

"Bo Fu, it's me. I'm looking at the sea again. ”

"What am I doing without looking at the sea? The Holy One clearly gave us the right to act cheaply, but you just said that the time has not yet come, and we can't send troops. Gongjin, what exactly do you want to do? Sun Ce turned around and asked Zhou Yu with a wry smile.

After defeating the attacking Zhu Ling, Liu Xie gave Sun Ce and Zhou Yu the right to act cheaply, and let the two of them wait for an opportunity to join the battle. And after learning the news that Karasuma King Badun led his troops south, Liu Xie also ordered someone to send this information to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu as soon as possible, and told the two of them to seize the opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger of Karasuma people for the imperial court in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu also changed the plan of sending troops agreed with Sun Ce after receiving this order, saying that the time had not yet come, and let Sun Ce continue to be patient. Out of trust in Zhou Yu, Sun Ce did not insist on sending troops, but chose to come to the beach every day to watch the sea, waiting for the time that Zhou Yu said.

"Bo Fu, the time has come."

"Just come...... Here it comes? Is it really coming? Can I send troops to beat up those Karasuma people? Sun Ce thought that Zhou Yu was going to repeat the same old tune again, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly reacted and hurriedly confirmed to Zhou Yu.

"It's coming, it's really coming." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

"Let's go, go back and discuss the military situation." Sun Ce walked back excitedly.

When the two returned to the camp, Sun Ce spread out the map and waited for Zhou Yu to come up with a battle plan for him. Zhou Yu was not hypocritical, and immediately picked up the baton and pointed at the map, "Bo Fu, I have few soldiers, and most of them are foot soldiers, and if you want to deal with the Karasuma people, who are mainly cavalry, the usual tactics are not very suitable." I've been telling you before that the time has not come, and here's why. And now the situation is very different. Yuan Xi's backyard caught fire, and due to the unruliness of the Karasuma people, the people of Nanpi, Hejian, Pingyuan and other places were extremely dissatisfied with the Karasuma people, and even lost trust in the government...... Bo Fu, why do you look at me like that? Don't believe me? ”

"Gongjin, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that what you said is a bit unrealistic, and you still shout? On what basis do you assume that those people will support us? ”

"Of course it's for sure. These days, you must also know that there are local armed forces that have rebelled against the government in many places in Hebei. ”

"You know, what's wrong?"

"Then do you know that those local armed forces were organized by people sent by Tianyan?"

“…… Tianyan, it's really elusive. Sun Ce had nothing to say, of course he knew Tianyan, but he couldn't figure it out, how did the people of Tianyan incite those people to defect to the imperial court?

"Don't wonder, there are some things you don't need to know too much. The reason why I tell you that the time has come is because of the assurances of these people. As soon as we enter Youzhou and play the banner of driving away the Karasuma people, those people will come to join us with their own teams, and then we will enter Liaoxi and raid the old nest of the Karasuma people. ”

“…… How many people can those people bring? ”

"According to statistics, at least more than 30,000."

“…… So much? ”

"Huh...... Is it much? Bo Fu, do you know how many Han Chinese the Karasuma people killed after entering Hebei? Zhou Yu asked with a sneer.

"A lot?"

"In addition to those who died directly, there are no less than 100,000 people who have been affected, why do you think the people of Tianyan can pull up the team? It's not just because there are more people who are bullied, and the number of people who are unwilling to be humiliated will naturally increase. ”

“…… Gong Jin, did the Holy Lord say how to deal with the Karasuma captives? Sun Ce was silent for a moment and asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu, who knew Sun Ce's temperament, said with a smile: "Bo Fu, you have forgotten that our saint is not a good stubble, especially for those barbarians who dare to wave their swords at the Han people, the saint has always returned blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Think about the Xianbei people and the Huns who slaughtered the Han people in Bingzhou, but later, the Holy Lord led the troops to recover Bingzhou, do you think about how he treated those barbarian captives? ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce had a bottom in his heart, and asked Zhou Yu with a smile: "Gong Jin, I remember that the order given to us by the Holy Lord was to act cheaply and wait for the opportunity. Right? ”

"That's right."

"Then no matter what we do, the Holy One will carry it for us. Right?"

"Of course."

"Then send troops, it's time to let those steppe barbarians know that they are not the only ones in this world who will kill people."

……

And state on the party

Since learning the bad news in the clan, the Hebei Yuan army led by Zhang Jaw stopped the siege of Shangdang, the original Shangdang was crumbling under Zhang Jaw's offensive, but on the eve of being breached, the imperial court sent Lu Zhi to lead reinforcements to kill, and relieved the siege of Shangdang. Unwilling to fail, Zhang Jaw had no choice but to continue to attack the city, but at this time, his opponent had been replaced by Lu Zhi, and it was impossible to go as smoothly as a few days ago.

Zhang Jaw is a famous general in Hebei, but Lu Zhi is not given in vain, he has experienced countless wars in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a famous general of the Han Dynasty. This duel between the old and new celebrities will be staged at this party.

However, as Yuan's army stopped attacking the city, Lu Zhi's body also became ill. Lu Zhi, who should have died of illness, lived a few more years, but in the end, the years were unforgiving, and Lu Zhi was tired and sick.

In order to deal with the fierce offensive of Zhang Jaw, Lu Zhi also took out a lot of energy to deal with it, although he could not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but as long as the Yuan army attacked the city, Lu Zhi would stand on the city like a benchmark to watch the battle, boosting morale. But even standing there is no small burden for an elderly man to stand for several hours in a row.

Lu Zhi fell ill, and the people in Shangdang City immediately panicked, but fortunately, Dian Wei was ordered at this time to take over Lu Zhi's command. Shibei three days, should be impressed, not to mention that Dian Wei is no longer what it used to be. When he took refuge in Liu Xie, perhaps Dian Wei could only be regarded as a brave horseman, but with these years of study, although it is unrealistic to expect Dian Wei to have the ability to command the whole army, it is more than enough to be a general who defends the city. Moreover, Dian Wei is also assisted by Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu, and it is not a problem to keep the party.

In order to ensure that Lu Zhi is okay, Dian Wei deliberately asked his son to return to Chang'an under the stars and invited Hua Tuo, but what is frustrating is that even if Hua Tuo is in person, Lu Zhi's condition has not improved.

"Zizuka, don't be a child, everyone dies, you can see the Han Zhongxing, the old man can be said to be dead without regrets." Lu Zhi, who was lying on the sickbed, smiled and said to Lu Yu.

"Father, is it possible that even Doctor Hua is helpless against his father's condition?" Lu Yu asked unwillingly.

"Medicine does not kill diseases, no matter how superb Doctor Huashen's medical skills are, he can't cure the approaching limit." Lu Zhi said to Lu Yu with a calm expression.
