Chapter 262: Encroachment step by step
This time, less than half of the many squires in Shangjun County came, and most of the rest chose to watch from the sidelines, including the most powerful Liu family in Shangjun County, the Liu family has produced many counties, and the head of the Liu family is one of the most famous squires in the city.
With Wang Biao came also some powerful family heads, the oldest person is Li Yuan, he is the head of Li Jiazhuang, the scale of Li Jiazhuang is about the same size as the original Wangjiazhuang, although these people are a strong party, but to put it bluntly, it is just a landlord, although there are some Zhuang guests on weekdays, but they have never been on the battlefield, and they have no experience in leading troops, let alone have entered the county government to hold specific official positions.
Su Yi had no interest in these people, on the contrary, what caught his attention was a man beside Shen Yunxia, this person was handsome, Su Yi and he also had a relationship, he was Li Yu, the third son of Li Jiazhuang, and Li Yuan was his father.
Li Yu sat there without saying a word, but his eyes were deep, and he couldn't stop looking at Su Yi, and when he saw Su Yi looking at him, he smiled slightly, don't turn his head, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
After sacking Shangjun County that day, Su Yi asked Wang Biao about this person.
Li Yu was born to Li Yuan's concubine, and his mother was forced to death by Li Yuan's original wife not long after giving birth to him.
Li Yuan also forgot the son born to this concubine for a while, until one day, Li Yuan's original wife was intercepted and killed on the way back to her hometown to visit her parents' family, and the death was extremely miserable, the corpse **** hung on the tree, and Li Yuan's eldest son was accompanied by Li Yuan's eldest son.
This accident hit Li Yuan very hard, and he collapsed for a long time. It was also during this period of Li Yuan's depression that there were frequent disappearances in Lijiazhuang. When Wang Biao introduced this to Su Yi, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
According to Wang Biao's private understanding, those missing family members have one thing in common, that is, those who bullied Li Yu when he was young.
Li Yuan is also middle-aged and unlucky, and his original wife and eldest son were intercepted and killed on the road. The second son was beaten into a fool in the Qinglou because of his jealousy with others, leaving a third son to have a relationship with him.
Su Yi glanced around at everyone, and suddenly spoke: "Since everyone is here, I also happen to have something to tell you." ”
Speaking of this, Su Yi glanced at Gu Kai and said coldly: "Everyone knows about Nanyang County, right?" ”
Wang Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Nanyang County is now occupied by the Five Doumi Sect, I don't know how Han ...... What did Master Su want to say. ”
Su Yi said: "The Wudou Rice Sect occupies Nanyang County, grabbing money and grain in the local area, and the development speed is quite fast. In the final analysis, it is because there are local military households who support them. ”
As soon as Su Yi's words fell, Gu Kai stood up suddenly and looked at Su Yi coldly.
"All the military households near Nanyang County have taken refuge in the Wudou Rice Sect, and their military leader is a person named Gu Dayong, who not only led a group of military households to take refuge in the Wudou Rice Sect, but even lobbied various forces everywhere to join the Wudou Rice Sect, so that the strength of the Five Dou Rice Sect was rapidly improved in a short period of time." Su Yi didn't pay attention to Gu Kai, but said to himself.
"This kind of thing doesn't just happen in Nanyang County. It has also appeared in other places, and Lord Liu meant. These military households are not under the control of the imperial court, and they are not easy to control, and once they surrender to the enemy, they are afraid of endless troubles. ”
Hearing this, even a fool knew that Su Yi was deliberately targeting Gu Kai.
What Gu Dayong, what Nanyang County, all of them are under the guise of Su Yi. His purpose is very simple, that is, to find an excuse to embarrass Gu Kai. Of course, this is what everyone here unanimously thinks, what they didn't expect was that Su Yi's real idea was to get rid of Gu Kai and the many military households in Shangjun County. Then send the bandits of the cottage to occupy the various military forts.
These military households are not controlled by the imperial court, and they can build forts privately, they live outside the city all the year round, and they are not bound by the imperial court decrees, and no one can say what they will do.
As soon as Su Yi's words were finished, there was a commotion in the entire county office, Su Yi's subordinates and the people brought by Wang Biao sat on both sides, forming a sharp contrast, the people brought by Wang Biao were in a mess, and Su Yi's subordinates were all vigorous, in contrast, everyone had a more calm and unhurried momentum.
Gu Kai snorted heavily, but did not refute Su Yi in person.
Li Yu and Wang Biao are both people with clear minds, and these two can see the clues at a glance, especially Wang Biao, who looked at Gu Kai with a little more exploration in his eyes.
It's no wonder that Gu Kai is a thief, the military households are already out of the control of the imperial court, and now that the Wudou Rice Sect is making chaos in various places, these military households naturally have to think about their future future. For a long time, the Great Chu fell into a situation of internal and external troubles, and the various forces in the court only knew how to fight for power and profit without caring about the suffering of the people, and Emperor Chu was even more conceited that he thought that he could control everything in the world.
The imperial court believes that as long as the family does not oppose the lords, it will be difficult for those peasants to make small troubles, and the so-called bandits and bandits are just a rabble, including the early stage of the Wudoumi Sect rebellion, which has not attracted the attention of the imperial court.
What they didn't expect was that the rebellion of the Wudoumi Sect formed a general trend of rebellion in various places, and at this time, many ambitious people rose up with the trend, and some generals who guarded various places also took this opportunity to divide one side, so that the world became more and more chaotic, and the people's minds changed.
Gu Kai is also an ambitious person, after Chen Hu's death, he quickly encroached on many forces outside Shangjun County, and co-opted some obedient military households to suppress some military forts with outstanding abilities but did not obey control.
The rebellion of military households is different from bandits and bandits, they are not robbers who plunder the countryside and rob merchants, these people have their own military forts in various places, and even they arm themselves while farming, as long as they can gather military households from all over the country, they can become a force fighting for the world.
The squires and powerful forces in Shangjun County are fighting to the death, and the powerful Zhuang Luo like Wang Biao is even more cold and waiting, waiting for reality, only Gu Kai is hiding outside the city, constantly developing and expanding his own power, and even Wang Biao doesn't think that Wang Jiazhuang and Gu Kai can have much chance of winning a war.
Gu Kai knew that the Wudou Rice Sect in Youzhou was powerful, and he had contacted the Wudou Rice Sect more than once, and even he knew that Jin Chaoqun of Wuyuan County had taken refuge in the Wudou Rice Sect, and a military leader like Gu Dayong had defected to the Wudou Rice Sect, and would not be reused by Tian Million, but Jin Chaoqun was different from the powerful, once they had the strength to take a county seat, the Five Dou Rice Sect would give them full support, and with the support of the Five Dou Mi Sect, these people would soon be able to become local city lords.
This is the future that Gu Kai yearns for, as the head of his army, he will definitely not be reused, but when he takes the county and then takes refuge in the Wudou Rice Sect, the result will be different. (To be continued.) )
