On the sixteenth day of the first month, Baili Wuji and his party were preparing to leave, and the envoys of Shu arrived in Jiangling.

Brought the will of the Shu Emperor Meng Chang, Sikong and his subordinate servants, Zhao Jiliang, Tongping Zhangshi, colluded with Wuxin Jiedu to make Zhang Ye and Nanping King Gao Baorong, deceived the saints, attacked the subject country for no reason, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, remembering his past achievements, the emperor granted amnesty, and dismissed Zhao Jiliang from the office, the subordinate squire, and Tongping Zhangshi, and ordered him to go home to retire for the rest of his life.

Wuxin Jiedu made Zhang Ye collude with Sikong and his subordinate servants, Zhao Jiliang of Tongping Zhangshi, and Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping, to deceive the saint and attack the subject country for no reason.

Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping, colluded with Sikong and his subordinate squire, Zhao Jiliang of Tongping Zhangshi, and Zhang Ye, the envoy of Wuxin Jiedu, to deceive the saint and attack the subject country for no reason, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and his crime should be punished, and he was stripped of his title of king of Nanping and handed over to the king of Chu for cheap disposal, and the three states of Jingnan were also taken over by the king of Chu.

The king of Chu was unscrupulous and meritorious, and was promoted to the Shangzhu State.

After the original Guizhou assassin Shi Baili Yuanwang as the king of Qianjiang, his wife Zhu was Mrs. Minghui.

In view of the fact that the king of Chu was unscrupulous and filial piety, the marriage date was specially postponed by one year to December 18 in the fourth year of Guangzheng.

……。

Baili Wuji knows that this is the kindness thrown out by Meng Chang, he has a different surname and is the king, the lord has been sealed, and the official has been sealed after the destruction of Chu, and he has also been named the general of the Tiance Mansion, and concurrently serves as the Tongping Zhangshi, so he has to make a fuss about the commander, a pillar country, and a second product. The posthumous parents are King Qianjiang and Mrs. Minghui, which is also showing goodwill.

But all in all, it can make parents have a great honor.

After all, Meng Chang did not participate in the planning of this incident, and the emperor of Shu was always the key to it.

When the messenger had finished pronouncing the decree, he withdrew from the people.

Ordered the retinue to fetch a sandalwood box.

"This is Zhang Ye's head, the saint commanded, please bring it back after the King of Chu looks at it."

Baili Wuji leaned in and saw that it was indeed the head of Zhang Yeren who scolded him in the court that day.

The culprits have all been ambushed, and Baili Wuji sighed and was about to leave for the south.

"King Chu is slow." The messenger called out to Baili Wuji.

"Your Majesty has another secret decree to hand over to the King of Chu."

Baili Wuji opened the brocade silk, and it turned out that Meng Chang asked Baili Wuji to retreat to the soldiers outside Quzhou City, and promised that as long as Baili Wuji was loyal to him, he would share the world with Baili Wuji.

"Please ask the angel to return to Your Majesty, and the minister will withdraw his troops according to the order."

He ordered Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian not to have to draft any more documents, and ordered Yunyang's department to return to Shitanzhou immediately.

……。

Although Sun Shixu was quite unhappy. Baili Wuji still left Sun Shixu in Jiangling.

"Ziqing, you promised me to be the commander of the Black Flag Army, but you can't be untrustworthy."

"Yuan Zhi, there are more than 10,000 troops in the Jingnan army, and there are 6,000 troops in Dingnan, all of whom are in urgent need of settlement.

"You ....... Okay, but I have a request. ”

"Tell me about it."

"After I complete the reorganization, this army must be supplied and equipped in the same way as the Black Flag Army."

Baili Wuji smiled and said, "Then it depends on what you want to reorganize the army into." ”

……。

Back in Tanzhou, it was already the twentieth of January.

The destroyed houses in Tanzhou have all been repaired and rebuilt, and the people who have been compensated by the government have begun to work as usual.

Except for the three collapsed walls, there is no trace of the bloody battle of twenty days ago.

Only the countless strips of white cloth that are still floating on the long pole tell how many lives have been lost in this capital of Chu State, and the deceased are like this.

Since this day, the reforms of the state of Chu, which had been interrupted for a month, continued to be vigorously promoted.

The people's spontaneous desire to defend the city when Tanzhou City was about to fall strongly shocked everyone in the officialdom of Chu State, including Baili Wuji.

The reform continued to deepen, with the support of the people and the deterrence of the Black Flag Army, there was no discord between the government and the opposition in Chu State.

The second day of February.

Good news came.

Liu Qing and Wang Kui led the Erxiang Forbidden Army through Chenzhou, Xuzhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou, Jinzhou to Xizhou and then to the deep mountains of Xiangzhou, all the way to pursue Peng Shichou's rebels, and finally besieged Peng Shichou's remnants in the deep mountains of Xiangzhou.

It was a harsh winter, and the remnants of Peng Shichou could not resist hunger and cold, so in desperation, he sent his second son Peng Shigao to lead the barbarian chieftains Tian Hongbin, Qin Xingfang, Xiang Cunku, and Luo Junfu to surrender to Chu again with brocade, awards, Xizhou seals, and maps.

Liu Qing sent a letter asking for instructions on how to deal with it.

Baili Wuji convened five governors to discuss how to deal with Peng Shichou and his troops.

Li Honggao stepped forward and said: "King, Xizhou is a place where barbarians stay, and the ancestral system has always pursued the policy of well water not violating river water. The minister thought that it was just a lesson to teach him, and let him sign a contract, and he would not commit any more offences in the future. ”

Xu Shiming stepped forward and said: "I agree with Li Shenzhi's opinion, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, as long as they don't disturb the people, let them go by themselves, Da Chu doesn't need their wild places." ”

Sun Guangxian shook his head and said, "King, there is an objection. ”

Baili Wuji said: "Sun Gong, please speak." ”

Sun Guangxian said: "Although the barbaric land is not of much benefit to our Chu State, and the annexation of the territory does form a drag, but like Peng Shichou's repeated rebellions, it is really impossible to prevent it, if you do not go to quell the chaos, you will let it grow, and the disaster will be even worse. ”

Baili Wuji nodded and said: "Sun Gong is reasonable, I don't know what Sun Gong has to plan, can he cure the root cause?" ”

Peng Shichou is not a barbarian, his father Peng Ying, uncle Peng Ji in the late Tang Dynasty Huangchao war to protect themselves, after which gradually seceded Jizhou, and then due to the oppression of Wu and went west to Chu, Peng Shichou also stayed with his father and uncle in a foreign land. After the Peng brothers entered Chu, they were valued by Ma Yin, the former king of Chu, and were entrusted with important tasks, and Ma Yin also married his son Ma Xifan with Peng Ji's daughter as his wife. Peng Xuan was successively awarded the post of Chenzhou Thorn History and Xizhou Thorn History. Since he was the assassin of Xizhou, he gradually unified the various departments of the Youshui Basin, and later united with Xiang Bolin, the brother of the Manshui Tuguan, to defeat and drive away the Xizhou barbarian chief Wu Zhuchong, and then successively conquered Jaba Chong and other local chieftains. Subsequently, Ma Yin, the former king of Chu, appointed Peng Ying as the commander of Jingbian and the assassin of Xizhou, leading Shang, Zhong, and Xiaxi Prefectures, as well as Baojing, Yongshun and other prefectures. Since then, Peng's has officially grown up in the Creek, Jin, and Award areas. ”

Sun Guangxian paused, took a breath and continued: "Therefore, I thought that if I wanted to deal with the Peng clan once and for all, I could only use a split strategy, so that the various tribes in the wilderness would go their own way and watch out for each other. In this way, the state of Chu can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and there is no need to be distracted. ”

Baili Wuji was overjoyed: "Sun Gong is really wise." Someone, pass on a certain order...... ”
