Chapter 16: Quelling the Turmoil

The northern boundary mountain is in chaos, and the various armies have been killed in order to compete for interests, and they have been suppressed by the Wu Yue army and the water division during this time, and everyone is holding their breath, and they vent it at this time. The few people in the Northern Boundary Mountain www.biquge.info were almost all killed, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

Fang Jinzhao saw this scene, but he couldn't stop it, when he was helpless, at least more than 30 warships appeared on the sea south of the North Boundary Mountain, and the battleships took advantage of the wind to speed very fast, when Fang Jinzhao was puzzled, the lookout came to tell him, these ships were all hung with the flag of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jinzhao felt a little relieved, and suddenly thought that this must be Yang Lian coming.

Yang Lian seized Zhoushan, Yu An committed suicide, Zhang Yun was killed in the chaos, Qian Hongyu did not react for the time being, Yang Lian immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and after seizing the Shengsi Islands, the sea route between the northern Tang Dynasty and Zhoushan was unimpeded.

When Yang Lian arrived, he also received the news, saying that the Tang army in the North Boundary Mountain was fighting each other for money, Yang Lian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, in the troubled times, the armies seized the city, and it was the norm to rob the people, but it was actually cannibalistic, which made Yang Lian quite speechless.

The battleship stopped on the sea two miles south of the North Boundary Mountain, Fang Jinzhao's main ship also stopped here, the two ships approached, the soldiers put up the planks, Yang Lian strode over, saw Fang Jinzhao, arched his hand, and said: "Yang Lian has seen Fang Shangshu." ”

Although Fang Jinzhao is said to be the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, he does not dare to slack off on Yang Lian, Jane is in the emperor's heart, not to mention that Yang Lian took Zhoushan and defeated the sailors of Wu Yuejun.

"Yang Jiedu, how is the situation in Zhoushan?" Fang Jinzhao hurriedly asked, Zhoushan is related to the overall situation, so he is particularly concerned.

Yang Lian nodded lightly and said: "I have already sent people to stay in Zhoushan, and Wu Yueguo has not attacked Zhoushan for the time being, and there is no major problem in a short time, but my losses are very large, and I need to transport troops from Haichu and Chu Prefectures." With that, Yang Lian took out a fold from his arms and handed it to Fang Jinzhao.

Yang Lian's plan was to transport 5,000 troops from Haichu and Chu Prefectures to support the war in the south, and Haichu and Haichu Prefectures were almost all soldiers under the governance of Yang Lian, but limited by the authority of the Jiedu envoy, the soldiers and horses in the two places have been kept at more than 10,000, and later Yang Lian went north, and some of the elite soldiers were wiped out, although they were supplemented, the number was only 10,000. Moreover, it was impossible for Yang Lian to transfer the soldiers and horses of Haichu and Chu Prefectures, so he transferred general, 5,000 people. As for Yunzhou, Yanzhou and other places, although there are also a lot of soldiers and horses, because they are bordering the Great Zhou Dynasty, the troops themselves are insufficient, so Yang Lian has no idea of transferring.

Fang Jinzhao took a brief look, closed the fold, and said: "Haichu and Haichu Prefecture to transfer 5,000 people, I'm afraid it is insufficient, so let's do it, I will also write a letter, suggesting that 7,000 soldiers and horses be transferred from these two places." "It's already the limit.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "With seven thousand people, the situation in the south is a little more relaxed, but the Zhou State in the north must be guarded against." ”

"This is nature." Fang Jinzhao said, nodding. Originally, he didn't have much to do with Yang Lian, but now he needs Yang Lian to help him save face, otherwise his failure in the Northern Boundary Mountain will make His Majesty unhappy. Therefore, he deliberately curryed favor with Yang Lian and changed the number of soldiers who went south from 5,000 to 7,000.

Yang Lian looked at the chaotic Northern Boundary Mountain and said, "Fang Shangshu, what's going on with the Northern Boundary Mountain?" ”

Fang Jinzhao shook his head and told the story that the various armies heard that Wu Yue's army had retreated, and they rushed to the northern boundary mountain to rob the people and loot their property. Yang Lian nodded as he listened, which was similar to the news he got.

"Fang Shangshu, this can't be done, these people are already crazy for money." Yang Lian said.

After all, Fang Jinzhao was born as a literati, shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The army's heart is in turmoil, and it is useless to give orders. As he spoke, he sighed.

Yang Lian snorted coldly and said: "Fang Shangshu, if our army attacks Wu Yue, if the military discipline is too chaotic, I am afraid it will cause the people to resist, if the military discipline is strict, for most of the people, as long as the government can let them survive and eat and drink, whether it is Wu Yue or Datang, this will not be in the way." Therefore, military discipline must be strict. ”

Fang Jinzhao thought it was true, Datang in Chu was because of the tyrannical expropriation, which led the people of Chu to resist, and now Datang is fighting on all sides, if Wu Yue can be pacified as soon as possible, with Wu Yue's wealth, Datang only needs one or two years to ease his breath and have enough grain storage.

Yang Lian saw Fang Jinzhao's face was embarrassed, and knew that although he was the secretary of the military department, he had to consider the attitude of the envoys of various places, so many people he did not dare to offend. Yang Lian groaned slightly, and said, "If Fang Shangshu doesn't give up, how about leaving this matter to me to deal with?" ”

Fang Jinzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded, and agreed, Yang Lian is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he will become a relative of the emperor, and the matter will be handed over to him, Fang Jinzhao is happy to see it.

Yang Lian got Fang Jinzhao's approval, waved his hand, and the Dengzhou Navy Division gradually surrounded it, at this time, the warships of the Runzhou Army, the Guangling Army, and the Jing Navy were all moored on the shore, and there were almost no people on the battleship, everyone got off the boat to grab the money, and the Dengzhou Navy Division was easy to approach, and the soldiers boarded the battleship and sailed the battleship away from the shore.

The battleship left, and the chaotic armies did not find it at first, and after a long stick of incense, a commander of the Runzhou army named Chen Sheng grabbed enough money and wanted to return to the ship, but found that the battleships were not on the shore, not even the boats.

"What's going on?" Chen Sheng shouted, but no one could answer him, he looked around for a while, only to find that a few miles south of the dock, there were dozens of warships moored, all with the flag of the Tang Army on them.

"Straight lady thief, what's going on?" Chen Sheng scolded. He called a flag bearer, waved the flag, and asked about the warship in the sea.

The news soon came back, and the other party asked them to get on the ship, and it could only be officials above the command envoy. Chen Sheng scolded, but to no avail, the North Boundary Mountain is a small island, if there is not enough food, he will definitely starve to death in the North Boundary Mountain, not to mention that there are more than 3,000 people in the North Boundary Mountain, even if the entire North Boundary Mountain is planted with rice, it will not be enough to eat.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! The boats are gone! Chen Sheng scolded, seeing a soldier not far away dragging a young and beautiful woman, he couldn't help but be furious, slapped the soldier hard, and kicked the woman off the shore, the woman fluttered in the sea, and soon lost her strength and sank into the sea.

More and more soldiers on the northern mountain found that the battleship was gone, and they all stopped fighting and looked at the sea. Some soldiers who knew the language of the flag translated the flag language on the battleship, and the commanders of the various armies stopped fighting and gradually gathered together.

"What's going on?" One of the commanders of the Guangling Army asked.

Chen Sheng shook his head, he didn't know.

The commander of the Jing Navy said, "Fang Shangshu took all the battleships away, it's really hateful. ”

Chen Sheng suddenly snorted coldly and said, "In my opinion, Fang Shangshu saw that I had made a fortune and was jealous in his heart, so he stole the battleship and wanted a piece of the pie." ”

When the other commanders heard this, their eyes lit up, and they felt that Chen Sheng's words were reasonable, after contacting Fang Jinzhao these days, they found that her temperament was still quite weak, and this move could only be a gain.

After a moment of deliberation, the flag bearer waved the flag, and soon a small boat sailed over, picked up the commanders, and brought them back to the main ship.

Yang Lian stood on the deck, staring at the boat that was getting closer and closer, his eyes were blazing, he had already made a decision. After a little more waiting, the soldiers brought several commanders onto the battleship. When several people saw Yang Lian, they were all stunned, none of them had seen Yang Lian, so they didn't know who Yang Lian was.

"How much money did you rob?" Yang Lian asked.

Chen Sheng glanced at the two of them, looking proud, and thought to himself that I was right. Chen Sheng pursed his lips and said, "How much money did we rob, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Yang Lian laughed a few times and said, "Originally, you robbed the money, and it had nothing to do with me, but when I saw the wolf smoke in this northern boundary mountain, I felt that it was necessary to take care of it." ”

The commander of the Jing Navy snorted coldly and said, "Who are you, your hand actually reached out to Jing Haijun's head." ”

"I am Yang Lian, the envoy of the Shuntian Festival, the commander of the attack on Zhoushan this time." Yang Lian said lightly.

Several commanders couldn't help but gasp, Tang Junming repaired the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, they already knew, frankly speaking, they were dissatisfied with this plan, they led the sailor to the south, they wanted to seize the credit, but the result was to attract the attention of Wu Yueren.

Chen Sheng couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "It turned out to be Yang Jiedu, long admiration." ”

Yang Lian glanced at Chen Sheng unhurriedly, knowing that he was the commander of the Runzhou Army, had been in the army for many years, and had a certain connection.

Chen Sheng saw that Yang Lian was young and thought it was easy to bully, so he said, "Yang Jiedu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said: "It's not interesting, it's just that Datang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and after you seize the Northern Boundary Mountain, you not only burn and rob everywhere, but also fight with each other for money. ”

The commanders of the Jing Navy and the Guangling Army Navy looked at each other, and they all felt that something was wrong, Chen Sheng shouted loudly, and said: "Yang Jiedu, although you are the envoy of Jiedu, but you can't control the Runzhou Army, you dare to try me?" ”

Yang Lian didn't speak, but waved his hand, several strong armorers rushed over, Chen Sheng saw that the situation was not good, and just wanted to pull out his waist knife, something flew out, he habitually stretched out his hand and patted it, and suddenly, the white powder scattered in all directions.

"Ah, my eyes!" Chen Sheng screamed miserably, covering his eyes with his hands, trying to rub out the powder that entered his eyes, but the more he rubbed his eyes, the more painful it became, tears flowed out, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

The commander of the Jing Navy and the Guangling Navy Division wanted to resist, but when they saw Chen Sheng's scene, the hand on their waist stopped again, they were just a few people, how could they be the opponents of a ship full of soldiers? At this time, the two regretted it, they shouldn't have listened to Chen Sheng's words, and boarded the battleship, but without a ship, they were trapped in the Northern Boundary Mountain, and they would die sooner or later.

The commander of the Guangling army hurriedly said: "Yang Jiedu, I am willing to give all the gold and silver I get to Yang Jiedu, and I only ask Yang Jiedu to spare my life." ”

"How many civilians have you killed?" Yang Lian asked.

The commander of the Guangling Army hesitated slightly, but finally said it and said, "Three." ”

"What about you?" Yang Lian looked at the commander of the Jing Navy again.

"I killed five." The commander of the Jing Navy said.

"Good." Yang Lian said, waved his hand, and said, "It's all dragged down and cut." ”

The commanders of the Guangling Army and the Jing Navy were shocked, and several armor soldiers stepped forward to hold them down, and the two of them were busy shouting, hoping that Yang Lian would spare his life.

"Yang Jiedu, spare your life."

"Yang Jiedu, I am a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, you can't kill me!"

The two of them talked nonsense, and were soon pushed down by the armor sergeant, only to hear two screams, the head of the person fell to the ground, and the soldier came up holding the head.

Chen Sheng rolled on the ground and shouted: "Yang Lian, if you dare to kill me, I will teach you not to die well!" ”

"Hmph, cut it!" Yang Lian waved his hand.

"Whoa!" The soldiers responded, stepped forward and pressed Chen Sheng, who was struggling on the ground, and dragged him down.

"Dock and hang up their heads!" Yang Lian commanded.

The battleship slowly approached the shore, the draft of the northern boundary mountain was relatively deep, the battleship stopped more than 300 steps offshore, Yang Lian asked people to put down the boat, Zhang Wenji took more than a dozen people, and slowly approached the shore.

The human head was thrown ashore, and the Tang army on the mountain in the north was shocked when they saw it, how could the commander and envoy die?

"These people have done a lot of evil, killed people indiscriminately, tried to assassinate the envoy of the Shuntian Festival, and now they have been ambushed, and you still won't surrender?" Zhang Wenji said.

The Tang army in the Northern Boundary Mountain was dumbfounded, how could the commander assassinate the envoy of the Shuntian Festival? A few people wanted to resist, but many more saw the head of their own Jiedu envoy, and a cool air rose from the soles of their feet, and they shuddered.

"If they all surrender, tell me honestly, Yang Jiedu said, everyone is not to blame in the past, if you want to resist, these people will be your fate!" Zhang Wenji said again.

The soldiers of the Northern Boundary Mountain, you look at me, I look at you, you all know that on the Northern Boundary Mountain, without the support of the army, it is impossible to survive at all, if the army retreats, the Wu Yue people will kill, and everyone will have to die.

"I surrender!" Someone said, put down the gold, silver, jewelry, and other things in his hand, and squatted on the ground.

One surrendered, there were two, and soon, the mood of surrender spread like a plague, and everyone chose to surrender. When Yang Lian got the news, he immediately sent troops ashore, first imprisoned all these people, and then sent troops to pacify the Wuyue people in the Northern Boundary Mountain.

The people of the North Boundary Mountain were killed, only a few dozen people remained, most of them were young women, and now they escaped with their lives, holding their dead relatives and crying, Yang Lian sent troops to land on the shore, and gradually controlled the overall situation, for these people, Yang Lian could only be kind words to appease, and sent troops to bury the people of the North Boundary Mountain one by one.

There were more than 3,000 Tang troops who committed crimes, including the Runzhou army, the Guangling army, and the Jing navy. Yang Lian and Fang Jinzhao discussed for a while, and in the end, they only selected more than 30 people who committed the most heinous crimes, and in a square in the North Boundary Mountain, in front of all the soldiers and people, accused them of their sins, and killed them with a knife.

In this regard, the people of the Northern Boundary Mountain were very grateful, and when Tang Jun saw Pao Ze die, everyone's hearts were tight, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and they were invisibly very afraid of Yang Lian. (To be continued.) )
