Chapter One Hundred and Nine. Yanzhou crisis
After King Lu agreed to assist Hou Guoxing in disaster relief, Hou Guoxing didn't need to hold on to the shelf, and let Zhu Yixiang and King Lu take him back for treatment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then he called Xie You'an, the governor of Chongzhou, and said that as long as King Lu and Xie You'an could return all the embezzled disaster food, donate certain materials, assist themselves, and resettle these hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, what happened before could be treated as if nothing had happened.
With such a good deed, the three of them are naturally grateful, and they swear that they will definitely assist Hou Guoxing in handling disaster relief matters.
In the evening, King Lu transferred 3,000 stone of grain from King Lu's mansion, and the victims finally ate rice porridge with white flowers.
Hou Guoxing also announced in front of the victims that after waiting for a few days and making preparations in the city, all the victims would be moved into the city.
As soon as these words came out, the victims were naturally grateful, and the shouts of Lord Hou Guoxing resounded in the sky.
…………………………
Chongzhou City, Chengxi Street, inside the inn.
Sibeile sat on the chair, holding a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand and looked at it attentively, and when he saw the highlights, he would smile from time to time, nodded, and then looked for a pen and paper from the desktop, recording his experience from time to time.
"No wonder Father Han said that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms includes the use of soldiers, this Zhuge Liang's use of soldiers is really unpredictable!" Four Baylor muttered to himself, getting up and stretching his muscles as he spoke.
"Lord Belle, the secret report of the spies has arrived!" When Huerhan entered, he turned and closed the door, then bowed and raised the letter in his hands and handed it to the four beylers.
Sibeile took the letter, looked at Hu Erhan, who was dressed as a Han farmer, and said with a smile:
"I don't have the braids on my head, but are you still used to it?"
Hu Erhan smiled awkwardly and said:
"For the sake of my Jurchen cause, Lord Belle can take off the braids on his head. Although Hu Erhan was unwilling, he did not complain. ”
Sibel smiled and nodded, and as he opened the letter, he said:
"It's best if you think like this, the Han people's set, the parents of the body hair and skin, are useless in our Jurchens. For generals, the most important thing is to judge the situation...... Creak! ”
Four Baylor, who was reading the letter, was amazed and did not speak. His eyebrows were furrowed together, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, as if he was thinking about something.
"Lord Belle, but things have changed?" Huerhan looked at the four Baylors with a cloudy face and asked softly.
After a moment, Four Baylor shook his head and spoke:
"It's not that things have changed, it's just that someone who Ben Baylor is very interested in has arrived in Chongzhou!"
After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Hu Erhan.
"Minggou's Qincha arrived so soon?" Huerhan held the letter and exclaimed.
Sibeile didn't pay attention to Huerhan, frowned, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and after a long time, he got up and said to Huerhan:
"Inform our people, as long as the city gate is broken, anyone can ignore it, but Hou Guoxing must be captured alive!"
"Four Baylor, aren't we going to capture King Lu alive? Could it be that this Hou Guoxing is more important than King Lu? Seeing that Sibeile was so solemn, Hu Erhan was stunned and asked.
Si Baylor soothed his brows, patted Huerhan's shoulder and smiled:
"As long as the White Lotus Sect breaks through Chongzhou City, it is a truth that King Lu is in our hands and in the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and the Ming army in Liaodong will inevitably draw out part of its forces to come back to suppress it, and at that time, the Han will take advantage of the weakening of Liaodong's troops to lead my Jurchen Jian'er to take Shenyang directly."
"The great man is wise, Lord Baylor is wise!" When Barhan heard that there was a battle to be fought, he was overjoyed.
Four Baylor waved his hand and continued:
"Compared to the dispensable King Lu, I want to meet this son of a nurse who raised a million taels of silver in three days, and almost ruined his father's plan to attack Liao!"
…………………….
In the evening, fifty miles away from the abandoned military household, Chenjiazhuang.
"Lord Xiang, after investigation, there are more than 3,000 people with ......diarrhea in total," the white-clothed Venerable bowed and said to Chen Dashan.
"What did the doctor say?" Chen Dashan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The doctor said that it may have eaten something bad, but it is more likely that the well made the croton." Seeing that Chen Dashanren's face changed slightly, the white-clothed Venerable said:
"But the little one has already asked people to check the well, and nothing unusual has been found."
"Stupid! That well is living water, and if someone mixes in, how many crotons can they bring in? Chen Dashan pointed at the white-clothed Venerable and scolded:
"It's been four hours since the incident, and if you check the water quality now, of course you can't find out."
"Have we been exposed?" The white-clothed Venerable's face changed drastically, and he continued:
"Lord Incense, how about you start something in advance?"
Chen Dashan rubbed his head, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"You immediately ordered people to take fast horses and rush to Chongzhou City, and said that the plan might be leaked, and we will start in advance, and set off in the early morning tomorrow, and we can attack the city gate at about noon, so that they can respond in advance." After Chen Dashanren finished speaking, he looked at the Venerable in White and continued:
"Now you command the people below to make a good meal for this group of people in the evening, and the wine and meat are full......
………………………
Chongzhou City, the prefect's yamen!
Hou Guoxing, who had already exposed his identity, did not shy away from it, and directly occupied the prefect's yamen and started working.
The entire prefect's yamen is now brightly lit, and Xie You'an got Hou Guoxing's order to invite all civil and military officials from all over Yanzhou to the prefect's yamen.
"My lord, the lower official has been wronged, my lord, the prince, you have to save the lower official!" A county magistrate wearing a seven-grade green robe knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The cry of the prefectural order. It was useless to plead, and after the two guards of the Lu Palace's palace tied him firmly, he dragged back a few steps.
"Slash!" Hou Guoxing didn't have the habit of throwing tokens, and said to the bareback man who was already guarding the side.
The executioner didn't care about the sweat stains on his hands because of nervousness, and raised his steel knife to aim at the county commander's neck, which was a knife.
I can't help but be nervous, in this time, he has already cut off the heads of three officials! It's still in the lobby of this prefect's yamen.
The screams stopped abruptly, and a burst of blood flew out along with a skull.
Due to the executioner's excessive force, the head rolled around the long tables on the left and right sides of the lobby, only to scream in fright for the officials sitting behind them.
"Sit it all down for me!" Hou Guoxing, who was sitting at the top of the lobby, slapped the table and stood up, pointed at the panicked officials and yelled, only to make King Lu, who was sitting on the left side of the Huang case, and Xie Youan, the prefect of Yanzhou on the right, tremble.
"Don't ask the official if he has this right, the official finally asked you once, where is the grain that is often closed? Where is the grain sent by this official, and where is the autumn tax in Shandong that the imperial court has exempted this year? ”
Hou Guoxing threw down a stack of indictments written by officials on the table, gritted his teeth and said:
"This time, I thought about writing, how much food I was greedy for, how much silver I took, how much land I occupied, and those people participated, all of them gave me an honest explanation, I can't write clearly, this official doesn't mind leaving all of you here......"
Officials at all levels in Yanzhou, who were originally in turmoil, did not dare to question whether Lord Qincha had this right, and sat at the table and honestly continued to write the charges against himself and others. There's no way.,This demon king doesn't play cards according to the road.。
Under the pretext of welcoming the arrival of Lord Qincha, he got all of them to the prefect's yamen, and after announcing the disaster relief situation in various parts of Shandong, as well as the homelessness of hundreds of thousands of victims outside Yanzhou City, he directly sent troops to surround the prefect's yamen.
In less than a moment, three heads have landed in a row.
While writing, the officials cursed King Lu and Xie You'an in their hearts, these two guys who took the big head on weekdays, are they stupid, and they actually cooperated with the Demon King, one coaxed them to the prefect's yamen, and the other was even funnier, and actually lent the private soldiers of King Lu's mansion.
Hou Guoxing waved his hand, and the guards immediately carried the body to the backyard, and the officials quickly cleaned up the blood stains on the ground.
The air was filled with the terrifying smell of blood, as well as a stench of incontinence, and King Lu and Xie You'an had already gone to the backyard to vomit several times.
Hou Guoxing was ruthless this time, the whole Shandong was in a severe drought, and the victims were waiting to be fed, and he had no extra time to deal with Chongzhou, and if he delayed for a day, thousands of victims might starve to death.
There is also a Liaodong, he doesn't know anything about it now, but looking at the situation in Shandong, Liaodong, where the disaster is more serious, will not be much better.
In this case, he can only suppress the moth with thunder, as for whether he will offend people? Whether the forces behind these people will fight back in the future is not a question that he Hou Guoxing needs to consider now.
If because of the indecision of the moment, thousands of people starved to death, resulting in the defeat of Liaodong, Yu and Hou Guoxing could not forgive themselves in public and private.
"How many soldiers are there under Liu's garrison now?" Hou Guoxing stared at the Yanzhou garrison below and asked.
Hearing Hou Guoxing's inquiry, the brush in Liu Qiangong's hand shook, hurriedly got up, knelt on one knee and cried:
"My lord, as a military general, I don't have a chance to interfere in the matter of the disaster grain!"
Liu Qiangong is now repentant, I heard that Lord Qincha arrived, found a few pro-soldiers, with large bags of gifts, ready to come over to pat the ass, but when he came over, he let him detain here and write what kind of crime.
You must know that the three officials in front of him who asked Lord Qin to question him are still in the backyard.
"Now that the war in Liaodong is tight, Shandong is at the forefront of the war, and you are a garrison in Yanzhou, this official just asks how many soldiers you have now!"
Hou Guoxing patiently explained, it seems that the three heads still have an effect, and even Liu Qiangong, who is a military general, is scared enough.
Hearing that the Demon King was not looking for trouble with him, Liu Qiangong let out a sigh, but when he heard the number of soldiers, Liu Qiangong was nervous again, and said:
"There can be... Three thousand... Three thousand..."Speaking of this, Liu Qiangong looked at Xie You'an, who was bowing his head and silent, knelt down on his knees, and said:
"My lord, please forgive me, there are 1,500 soldiers in the garrison yamen!"
Hou Guoxing looked at Liu Qiangong, who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Xie You'an, who was flushed, and understood that this was another story of the military and the government joining forces to drink the blood of soldiers.
Hou Guoxing stared at Liu Qiangong, who kept kowtowing, got up from behind the table and walked to the hall, and picked up the accusation written by Liu Qiangong.
"My lord, damn it! Damn it! ”
Liu Qiangong's face changed greatly, and he turned to Hou Guoxing and kowtowed. The indictment he wrote did not explain that he drank the blood of soldiers.
Hou Guoxing looked at Liu Qiangong, and then at the officials around him who were sweating like rain, and stretched out the guilt in his hand to the candle flame on the side.
