There was silence in the room, and no one answered.

"What? You don't understand what General Ben said? You, that's you! You said! Is this Wen's Wenxiong here, not in the city? Zhao Xun pointed at a rich gentleman and said coldly.

"This ...... Returning to the general, President Wen was in the city and did not come here. Seeing Zhao Xun's sharp eyes, this person hurriedly said.

"President? President of the Chamber of Commerce! It seems that this Fumio is really powerful, no wonder...... No wonder even General Ben doesn't pay attention to it anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, I heard Lord Feng say that it is difficult to implement the new policy issued by Shanyang Mansion in Changyang County, and many wealthy gentry disdain this new policy. General Ben also wants to know if you mean the same thing! Zhao Xun said coldly.

"Don't dare, how could we! It's just that there are some provisions in the New Deal that are very damaging to us, so it is normal for some people to be difficult to accept. The middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face said in a deep voice.

"You are?" Zhao Xun rode forward a few steps, came to this person, and asked with a faint smile.

"The Lin family in Siyang County, a small family, is not in the eyes of the general." The middle-aged man's face tightened slightly, and then he said lightly, "In addition, there is an urgent matter in Lin's family, so I can't go to the welcome banquet with the general, the general forgive me!" After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

Zhao Xun was immediately stunned, and the faces of the Changyi County officials at the gate of the city were even more ugly, as for the rich gentry who took the city, their faces were different, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Lin, the head of the Lin family! Zhao Xun's face changed slightly, and then he put the anger in his heart in his heart. He gestured to the soldiers of the Third Capital, who came with him and led the captain. Although there were more than 3,000 people behind him, the third capital did have a full establishment of 10,000 people.

"Huh? I wonder what General Lee has to say? Lin Yin suppressed the tension in his heart and said slowly.

Zhao Xun stepped up to him and said softly, "You're very nervous, aren't you?" So, for whom are you tempting General Ben? The Li family? Or is this writer? ”

Lin Yin's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I don't understand what General Li means, if there is no matter, I should leave ...... Xia."

"...... Sonor"

A clear echo of the dragon's groan, a cold light crossed, like a meteor in the sky, dazzling. Before the words fell, Lin Yin, who had not finished speaking, was too late to react, and his head flew into the air, and the blood was soaring.

"Huh?"

The audience was stunned and stunned, looking at Lin Yin, the head of the Lin family who was beheaded by Zhao Xun with a sword and became a headless corpse and slowly fell!

"Fu Qingyu!"

Zhao Xun held a blood-dripping sword and shouted coldly.

"The subordinates are here!" Fu Qingyu jumped out on his horse and quickly responded.

"According to this list, all these people on this list will have their homes raided and their property confiscated! Those who dare to resist or block will be killed! Zhao Xun took out a roll of paper, handed it to Fu Qingyu, and said coldly.

"Yuen Long, Miao Shuo!" Zhao Xun shouted again.

"The subordinates are here!"

"Lead the soldiers under your command, give me the level of the Wen family in the city, dare to resist, and kill me! Liu County order, the stability in the city will be handed over to you. Immediately, Zhao Xunyou gave an order to Liu Ling, the county commander of Changyang County.

Zhao Xun's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day in the brains of everyone present, and they were a little dizzy, thinking that they were auditory hallucinations.

"General, but this Wen family still has 5,000 private troops outside the city, and in addition, its additional connections are very extensive, so ......," Liu Ling said urgently. He was not afraid of the consequences, but he was afraid that Zhao Xun would do something like this and cause chaos in the city. You know, if it becomes the manor of the Wen family a few miles away, if they know the situation here, they won't bring the army to kill it. Whether the Shanyang Army is a small force, or a small force that is separated from Xu Jie, for these big clans, they don't know when they will be gone, so these big clans with connections will not be afraid of these. This is also the reason why Changyang County does not dare to act rashly against the Wen family, they are afraid that there will be a big problem here, it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath, and it will also cause trouble for Shangguan.

Didn't Liu Ling know that he wouldn't know the benefits of this new deal? Since he was kept in the position of county magistrate, it meant that he was a good official, and he naturally knew the benefits of this new policy. But he also knew that the Shanyang Army only had one place, and although it defeated the invasion of the Tang Army, it was not a loss at all for the Tang Army. If something happens in Changyang County and annoys other big forces, maybe this Shanyang Army will be gone soon, not to mention this new deal.

"You said three manors nearly ten miles south of the city?" Zhao Xun asked lightly.

Liu Ling nodded and said: "At that time, the Wen family's manor had more than 5,000 private soldiers, general, don't move lightly!" As he spoke, there was still a slight look of anxiety on his face.

Zhao Xun sneered: "Five thousand? It doesn't matter, General Ben has already sent seven thousand soldiers. I also want to see who is more powerful than the Wen family's private army and the Tang army! ”

"Ahh Everyone was shocked again, especially those rich gentlemen who were still watching Zhao Xun's jokes, and their faces were even more frightened at this moment. The other party is going to make a dead move, even the Wen family dares to do it, what are they?

"Fu Qingyu, how many people are on the list?" Zhao Xun said coldly, in the ears of others, it was like the sound of hooking the soul from the Nine Shadows. The faces of several people suddenly turned extremely pale, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

"General Hui, there are nine people on the list!" Fu Qingyu replied lightly.

"Then what are you doing! Kill! Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Li family, Liu family, He family......" Fu Qingyu pointed out the people in the crowd one by one, and then there were soldiers waving knives and slashing. Suddenly, recognition rolled down, and blood splattered.

"Let me enter the city, and the squads will advance according to the designated goal to catch the thieves who are plotting against me! Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

"Liu County Order, the stability of the city will be handed over to you, let the county soldiers in the city immediately maintain order, and at the same time post notices, while causing panic among the people!" Zhao Xun said lightly.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Liu Ling replied urgently.

"Remember, in Shanyang Mansion, except for the official mansion, everything else needs to be crawled for me, if anyone is not satisfied, kill! I don't want any other big clan in Sanyang Province to influence and interfere with the implementation of the government's new policy. Don't have any scruples, the Shanyang Army is the backing of the county. In addition, don't say that there are people in the Wen family who are officials in other places, that is, his Wen family is a relative of Xu Jie, the governor of Yanzhou, and the general is also killed. They're all begging us, do we still need to worry about them? Zhao Xun said coldly, inadvertently, and spit out a little secret.

The Wen family in Changyang County was destroyed, and its private 5,000 private soldiers also became the merits of the Shanyang soldiers, and their weapons and horses also became the hands of the Shanyang army. Not only that, more than a dozen wealthy gentry of the big clans in Changyang County were all cleared by the Shanyang Army, for the simple reason of hindering the government's implementation of the new policy.

All of a sudden, the rich gentry who won the big households in the counties of Shanyang Prefecture reported to the government one after another, according to the rules of the government. Without him, this general of the Shanyang Army is a ruthless lord who will not blink an eye. The whole family of more than a dozen big families in Changyang County was slaughtered, which made the people of Shanyang Mansion look sideways. However, the people were even happier when it came to it, and the rich gentry were terrified and cursed in their hearts.

Zhao Xun did not rush to inspect other counties, but stayed in Changyang County, watching the new policies in Changyang County begin to be implemented on a large scale. Although Zhao Xun did not immediately go to other counties, none of the wealthy gentry in other counties dared to go against the government, and they all hurriedly followed the requirements of the government.

Zhao Xun, who had stayed in Changyang County for three days, was about to inspect other counties when he was summoned back by Feng Ziming's urgent order. However, Zhao Xun also expected this. After all, he has been there for three days, and it is time for the forces that need the help of the Shanyang Army to take it down.

"Feng Ziming, is it Xu Jie's person or Situ Lei's person?" As soon as he returned to Juye City, Zhao Xun asked with a smile.

"Is it Murong Cheng's person?" Feng Ziming shook his head and said.

"Huh? Murong Cheng's people? Why did they come first? It stands to reason that the one who needs the most help now should be Situ Lei! Zhao Xun said with some puzzlement.

Feng Ziming said: "This is not accurate, maybe this Murong Cheng also wants to quickly solve the battle situation in the land of Yanzhou, and bring the land of Yanzhou under his command, and then the army can flank the vital points of the hostile forces whether it is to the east or west." For Murong Cheng, we are also very important to them. ”

Zhao Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Whatever, you will know when you see him." I don't think Murong Cheng would be so eager to expand the battle situation and lengthen the battle line. Otherwise, the first few times I came to you, I would have expressed the intention of letting us do this, instead of blindly condemning us for taking advantage and not doing anything. ”

Sure enough, after the meeting the next day, it didn't take long for Zhao Xun to lose interest in talking to the other party again.

"Lord Zhang, you mean to say that General Ben has accepted your benefits, and he hasn't taken actual action yet, right? What do you want us to do this time? Attack the Xuzhou army or return the property you sent? Zhao Xun said lightly.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Of course I hope you will send troops to fight, but what you have done really makes it difficult for me to be optimistic about you." I'm afraid that if you join the war, it won't have any big effect. ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Oh, in that case, what are you still doing with me?" Go back and tell your lord, if it weren't for the fact that General Ben hadn't made any moves until now, do you think Tang Xian would drop his army to the east and attack the Xuzhou army? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't make any moves, do you think you would still be able to stand in the land of Yanzhou? Don't forget, this general is the general of the Shanyang garrison, and he is the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. My agreement with you has been fulfilled, and we will no longer owe each other anything more. Drop-off! ”

"Damn, how can there be such a messenger!" After sending Zhang Li away, Zhao Xun scolded non-stop.

Feng Ziming saw the ugly look on Zhao Xun's face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord is not worried, during the time when the lord is away, this Zhang Li has come more than once or twice." Maybe Murong Cheng didn't have hope that we would send troops, maybe he didn't know the effect of our immobility, or maybe he thought that we and Xu Jie were really dead. I was unwilling, we loosened so many things, and as a result, we didn't do anything! In addition, I look at this Zhang Li, in fact, he wants to ask us for benefits! ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I understand, but we don't need to give it to him." Now that the situation between Murong Cheng and Situ Lei has stabilized, it is time for us to seek our own benefits. It's just that I don't know how much benefit this Xu Jie can give us. ”

If you want to ask who is the most powerful now, it is Situ Lei, in a few simple strokes, the world is full of wolf smoke. But at this moment, Situ Lei was scolding angrily. Who is scolding? Of course, it is Wang Zhangtao of Jiaozhou County.

In the original plan, after Zhang Tao became independent and external, no matter whether Zhang Tao had ambitions or not, Murong Cheng, who was once the lord of Zhang Tao, would never tolerate Zhang Tao's independence, unless Zhang Tao could hand over power and refuse to take over as the first lord of the county. But will Zhang Tao? Of course not. After the edict was issued, with the orders of Zhao Xun, Situ Lei and the other lords of the forces, Zhang Tao also received the order.

Because of this, he Situ Lei did not send troops into Jiaozhou, after all, he did not want to oppose Zhang Tao and push the other party to the enemy army. Coupled with Murong Cheng's actions immediately after the southern expedition, Situ Lei was relieved to hand over the southernmost battle to Zhang Tao. In fact, in it, Situ Lei also thought about transferring his army from Ningzhou to Jiaozhou. However, Zhang Tao refused to agree, and at this time, the army of King Qi was also going to Jiaozhou, so Situ Lei did not continue to ask for the army to march east.

Originally, it was a good plan, and things were playing out according to the script. However, it is precisely at the highest/climax stage that, in addition to the problem, something goes wrong. This Murong Cheng actually recognized Zhang Ting's identity and status, and handed over Jiaozhou to Zhang Tao's jurisdiction. And Zhang Tao didn't know whether he was thinking of the old love or something else, and he also reached an agreement with Murong Cheng. Well, for Situ Lei, it was completely a matter of stealing chickens and rice, not only did he fail to let Murong Cheng and Zhang Tao fight, but he personally created a line of defense in the southwest of Murong Cheng.

Although this line of defense has the same effect for himself and Murong Cheng. However, the results do vary widely. Murong Cheng didn't want to fight, so he just happened to have a protector. And he wanted to attack it, but it happened to be a blocker.

Not only that, coupled with the changes in the Tang Army on the Northern Front, most of Situ Lei's layout was broken at once. If he continues like this, he will fall into the disadvantage of the Central Plains. As a result, Murong Chengshun will turn over this time, and then break his layout in the east one by one, so that his Situ Lei's sphere of influence can only be trapped in the west.

"A group of waste, Zhang Tao, Xu Jie, Tang Xian, and the three leaders of the Elite Soldiers, are even more stupid." Situ Lei said angrily. Coupled with the north, this is where he is really afraid of Situ Lei. He calculated Zhao Xun, he didn't think that Zhao Xun couldn't find out the problems inside. If he wins this time, then he will not be afraid of Zhao Xun. If he loses, Zhao Xun joins forces with Murong Cheng again, and that's it......
