Chapter 258: Secret Fight

Five hundred heavenly wolf guards arrows rained down, and the strong men on the wall of the dock fort fell down like cut down wheat straw, and in just a moment's effort, more than 100 people fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining strong men shouted and hid behind the battlements, and some simply slipped off the city and hid inside the fortress wall.

Huyan Zhengde raised his sword and led it, and more than a dozen wolf guards turned over and dismounted, and cut down a big tree from the vicinity, cut off the branches and leaves to make a simple collision wood, and then more than a dozen people worked together to carry more than 1,000 pounds of collision wood to hit the gate of Sunjiawu Fort, and a few strong men on the fortress wall forcibly got up and tried to smash the wood and stones, but they were shot and killed on the spot by the wolf fangs just after the probe.

These five hundred heavenly wolf guards are all from the steppe of the Huns, the Huns have lived on horseback since childhood, not only superb riding skills, but also good at shooting, but suffering from poor equipment, the bows and arrows used are primitive and simple, so the combat effectiveness is not strong, but these five hundred horsemen since returning to Chu, they are equipped with a well-textured horn bow, and now the combat effectiveness is not only ferocious?

In less than half a cup of tea, the gate of Sunjiawu Fort was knocked open, and then it was a massacre, more than 200 clan Zhuang men who tried to resist were killed on the spot together with Uncle Sun, and the remaining more than 1,000 Zhuang men surrendered.

The next day, the news of the bloodbath of Sunjiawu Fort spread throughout Shanyin County like the wind, and then quickly spread throughout Huiji County and even the entire Jiangdong, but what is surprising is that the clans of Shanyin County, Huiji County and even the entire Jiangdong did not move and rebelled en masse, not even a family.

Shijiawu Fort, Shizhong Mansion.

Shi Zhong was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and Shi Yun, Shi Ping, and several other clan elders lined up on both sides. All of them looked worried, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn.

At this time, five days had passed since the Heavenly Wolf Guard bloodied Sunjiawu Fort.

Uncle Sun would openly resist the law, which was expected by Shi Zhong, but what Shi Zhong didn't expect was that Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er really dared to transfer troops to suppress it by force, and even used force when he said that he would use force, and he also killed more than 200 strong men with one guy. The remaining more than 1,000 strong men were all sent to Jiujiang, and the Sun family and the Shi family have been fighting for decades, and this is completely over.

After the bloodbath of Sunjiawu Fort, Shi Zhongyuan thought that the clans of various surnames in the townships of Shanyin, the counties of Huiji, and even the counties of Jiangdong would be moved by the wind and rise up. The result was greatly beyond Shi Zhong's expectations, five days had passed, and there was not even a clan that raised troops to rebel, and the vast majority of clans were waiting and watching, and they didn't want to pick this head.

Don't look at Shi Zhong's hard mouth, in fact, he knows better than anyone else in his heart, now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, when Xiang Zhuang just arrived in Jiangdong. The people's hearts are unsettled and the situation is unsettled, so he naturally doesn't dare to offend the clans of all surnames, but now, Xiang He and Xiang Tuo have become Xiang Zhuang's left arm and right arm, looking at Jiangdong, who else can threaten his status?

At this time, jumping out and taking the lead in rebellion is definitely looking for death!

Shi Zhong is smart, and the elders of other clans are not stupid. The result is the current situation.

However, some clans with less power and fewer mouths gradually lost their hold.

For example, in Shanyin County, from the day after the bloodbath of Sunjiawu Fort, there were people of various surnames who took the initiative to go to the county government and asked the county government to send personnel to re-check the number of households and people of all ethnic groups. Most of the clans in the county have already succumbed.

Shi Yun finally said worriedly: "Grandpa, you have something to say." ”

Shi Ping also said: "Yes, Grandpa, at the moment, only a few of our clans are still dying, and the guy from Zicheshi is now busy registering the households and people who have been reported to various townships and pavilions, and he can't take care of it for a while." But when he frees his hand, how can our Shi family have good fruits to eat? ”

Shi Yun said: "Grandpa, according to the new law, the number of households and people can be reported, other clans can't count on it at all, and clans in other counties are even more unreliable, just rely on our Shi family, how can we fight with King Xiang?" It's better to quickly send someone to count the exact number of households in our Shi family, and then report it to the sub-car division, so as not to ruin the family. ”

"No!" An old man with all his hair said categorically, "Categorically! ”

Several elders of the clan also echoed the voice, these old guys are living in the past world, and they don't know that the situation in Jiangdong is no longer what it used to be, and more importantly, once the number of households in their own clan is truthfully reported, the money and grain used by the clan to honor them should be handed over to the state treasury, and they will not be able to live the luxurious life they have now in the future. ..., the two opinions were at odds, and everyone's eyes focused on Shi Zhong.

Shi Zhong finally made a decision, turned around and instructed Shi Yun: "Yun'er, you go to hurt your uncle's house!" ”

"Ah, now going to Crow?" Shi Yun's heart sank when he heard this, his uncle Huang Bo was not an ordinary person, but the patriarch of the Huang clan, the largest clan in Wusheng County, Jinan, and the clans in the counties of Jinan were much stronger than those in Jibei County, such as the Huang family, there were 8,000 strong men in the clan, Huang Bo stomped his feet, and the entire Wusheng County was shaken three times.

Shi Zhong asked Shi Yun to go to the black wound at this time, the intention is not to ask, although Shi Yun does not approve in his heart, but since Shi Zhong has made a decision, he can only obey, the rank within the clan is better than that of the court, even if Shi Yun is Shi Zhong's eldest grandson, but if Shi Zhong wants him to die, he will definitely not live tomorrow.

"Yes, go to Crow!" Shi Zhong nodded, and said, "Bring more salt, iron, silk, and cloth!" ”

"Whoa!" Shi Yun shook respectfully, and was about to turn around to leave, but was stopped by Shi Zhong again.

Shi Zhong gritted his teeth, and said quite distressedly: "Yun'er, don't forget to bring Sanniang and My Fair Lady with you." ”

"Huh?!" Shi Yun was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice, "Grandpa, the third sister has reached the age of marriage, so that's it, but my sister is only thirteen years old, so she doesn't need it, right?" "Sanniang and My Lady are famous beauties from far and near, especially My Auntie, her little appearance is really loved by everyone, Shi Yun can't help but be ready to move.

"You know what?" Shi Zhong said angrily, "If you want to bring it, bring it." ”

Shi Zhong knows a lot about Uncle Huang's in-laws, this old guy not only likes women, but especially young girls, but just thinking of such a budding little flower as My Lady wants to let Huang Bo, an old thing, spoil it, Shi Zhong felt distressed for no reason, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only endure the pain and cut his love.

"Whoa!" Shi Yun was helpless, so he only went.

Wuzhong, Wanggong, Xiang Zhuang, and Baili Xian are drinking together.

Now, the relationship between the two is closer, half a month ago, Baili Yishui has officially entered the palace and became the third lady of Xiang Zhuang, Baili Yishui married into the palace, Baili Xian, Baili Mao brothers are naturally happy to see it, no matter what, this is only good for the Baili family and no harm.

Xiang Zhuang put down his wine and asked, "Ziliang, how is the implementation of the household Qi civil law?" ”

Bai Lixian put down the feather fan and said: "As of the middle of this month, the household Qi civil law has been fully launched in four counties and fifty-six counties, and from the current point of view, the effect is not bad, especially after the Shanyin Sun family's blatant resistance to the law was suppressed, the clans in all counties were deeply shaken, and the situation of the implementation of the new law has been basically opened." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and asked again, "Is there any change in the clans of the counties?" ”

"Nothing has been discovered yet." Bai Lixian shook his head, and then said, "However, the minister thinks that the clans of the counties will never give up so easily, especially the clans of the counties in Jibei, they will definitely make some moves, even if they dare not come openly, there will definitely be no less actions in the dark." ”

Xiang Zhuang said thoughtfully: "Ziliang, are you saying that it is possible that the clan forces in the counties of Jibei will secretly join forces with the clan forces in the counties of Jinan?" ”

The implementation of the "Household Qi Civil Law" includes 56 counties in the four counties of Wu County, Danyang, Jiujiang and Lujiang, and even the counties of Dongou and Lizhou, which originally belonged to the Dongou Kingdom, but it does not include the six counties of Damo and Wusheng in Jinan, because the six counties of Damo and Wushu are entrenched by the Shanyue armed forces and are almost independent kingdoms.

Xiang Zhuang does not want to provoke the Shanyue armed forces for the time being, although the Shanyue armed forces are also composed of large and small clans, but there is an essential difference with the clans of Jibei counties, the clans of Jibei are actually large families that gather together, loosely organized, and Shanyue even has a state apparatus with strong cohesion.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu poured the strength of the country to conquer Shanyue, although Shanyue at this time was far less powerful than Shanyue during the Three Kingdoms period, however, the current strength of Chu was only weak and not strong compared to Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and now it is a critical period of change, so it is not wise to provoke Shanyue armed committee at this time.

However, just because you don't provoke people doesn't mean they won't provoke you.

Bai Lixian nodded and said: "In general, Shanyue is not a warlike race, and there are few records of looting the surrounding counties, however, if there is a Jibei clan as an internal response, there may be people who want to take advantage of the fire, such as the Huang clan and the Damo Mao clan in Wushu County, both have nearly 10,000 strong men, which should not be underestimated." ”

Xiang Zhuang got up when he heard this, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Pass the doctor!" ”

At the critical period of this change, Shanyue must not be allowed to spoil a major event, and he can only let Wu Shi bribe these Shanyue people with gold, silver, wealth and even beauties, Han Xin He can endure the humiliation of his crotch, can't he Xiangzhuang still stand this grievance? As long as they survive this difficult period, there will be an opportunity to clean them up in the future.

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, and suddenly said: "King, it is best for the doctor to go to Damo County, and in addition to the gold, silver, wealth, and beauties, it is best to give some weapons, armor and even war horses." ”

Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea. (To be continued......)
