Luoyang City, where the atmosphere of war is strong, is far from being comparable to the three states of Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and Caizhou.

Because Sanzhou did not really experience the war five years ago, the people's perception of the Mongol army here is still invincible, barbaric and cruel.

The streets in Luoyang City are deserted, shops are closed, restaurants are closed, and it is rare to see people haunted.

Those merchants from the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia have already packed up at this moment, and they seem to have fled out of the city, and even some local residents of Luoyang have closed their doors and windows, and the family hides at home, occasionally showing an eye in the crack of the door, once there is a wind and grass, the war is not good, they will choose to run away at the first time.

The fluctuation of people's hearts has led to considerable restrictions on the operation of the whole city, the workshops are not open, the shops are not open, and even the schools, those parents do not care much, and forcibly leave their children at home.

The managers of Luoyang City naturally understood the thoughts of these people, and they did not force it, the school was officially closed for the holidays, and there was almost no one in the whole city except for the cleaning workers hired by the administrative department and the chengguan.

Of course, there are still some people, most of whom are former hooligans and gangsters, or a group of people who have been severely punished for such and such policies. These people were wandering around the city, spreading everywhere the rumors that Luoyang City was going to be broken and everyone was going to die, which made people panic, and they took the opportunity to smash and loot, and did not pay attention to the troops stationed in Luoyang.

In their minds, the Mongol army is pressing the border, and the garrison troops should be busy meeting the enemy, or planning to abandon the city and flee, how can they have spare time to care about their reason?

Moreover, there are a lot of hooligans and ruffians they gathered, nearly a thousand people, scattered in various places in Luoyang City, the so-called law does not blame the public, even if they are caught, there should be no major incident.

These people were very angry, they lived very comfortably in Luoyang, they were idle all day long, and they had no worries about food and clothing, but as soon as the people of the White Night Forces came, the land reform and the rectification of public security and sanitation swept them all, and the landlords and gentry were miserable by the land reform, and the hooligans and ruffians were made to death by the public security and health laws.

Even, they felt that the Mongolian lord did not dare to treat them so roughly. Now that the Mongolian lords are going to fight back, these people who have lost their interests can't wait to clap their hands and immediately run over to open the door for the Mongolian army.

Therefore, they were deliberately organized by people with intentions, wanting to create chaos in the city and make it easier for the Mongol army to attack the city.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as they started, several teams in the city had already been dispatched, and these teams were not very numerous, each numbering about a hundred people, armed with muskets and carrying backpacks.

These soldiers received orders to arrest all those who took the lead in the rebellion and wanted to disturb Luoyang, and those who dared to resist were killed. As for what those people were going to do, the soldiers didn't know, and they didn't know if there would be a follow-up.

To the north of Luoyang, on the rebuilt city wall, Ye Fei and Guo Xiang stood on it, blowing the wind, overlooking the vast land and wilderness.

Ye Fei looked angry, looked at a piece of information in his hand, smashed his fist on the wall brick, and said angrily: "These people should have been completely killed in the first place, look at them now, knowing that the Mongolian army is coming, they still have to make some small moves." ”

Guo Xiang was silent, she didn't want to stay too close to Xiangyang, and deliberately asked to be transferred to Luoyang, and now she is one of the three division commanders stationed in Luoyang.

The other division commander was not here at this time, but according to the plan, he arranged in advance.

"Didn't you ever think there would be such a scene before?"

Guo Xiang stroked the wind-blown hair, and said with a pretty face expressionless. Those who achieve great things in the world will be hindered, because this process will harm the interests of others.

"What we do is destined to stand on the opposite side of the scholar family and the martial arts giant. Our actual opponents were not even the Mongols, not the Southern Song Dynasty, but the old-fashioned Confucians, the gentry who sat on the land and took the labor of others with a smile. ”

Guo Xiang smiled, his beautiful face was even more beautiful in the hair that was messed up in the wind, Ye Fei couldn't help but be stunned, this second lady of the Guo family, who had grown up with him since childhood, had finally grown up.

"What are you looking at?"

Guo Xiangzheng was surprised that Ye Fei didn't speak, and when he turned his head and saw this person looking at him in a demented manner, he was annoyed, his little face bulged into a bun, and a pair of eyes glared at Ye Fei fiercely.

Ye Fei smiled awkwardly, scratching his head stupidly, he remembered a sentence they had complained about when they had undergone the harsh training of the White Night, "When I grow up, I can't beat you, so I will marry your sister and be your brother-in-law!" ”

I never thought that the little girl who liked to hang behind the white night at that time would also become a beautiful big girl.

Ye Fei's gaze at Guo Xiang was a little more special, what they said back then, Bai Ye also knew, but Guo Xiang didn't know.

"No, no, nothing."

Ye Fei hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head again, he didn't dare to let Guo Xiang know this, the girl in front of him had changed a lot, but she was as irritable as she was crazy.

"Really nothing?"

Guo Xianghu stared at Ye Fei suspiciously, wanting to see the flowers from his face, Ye Fei's face hurriedly turned aside, pretending to be light.

"Does the commander want the Mongols to weaken these scholars and landlords in the north?"

Ye Fei tried to divert Guo Xiang's attention, but Guo Xiang was really fooled and showed a thoughtful look. The army commander is their new name for Bai Ye, who used to call him "general", which made Bai Ye feel very awkward, so he has now changed his name and has become the only army commander above the division commander.

"My brother said that the longer the Mongols were in the north, the harder and more miserable the people in the north became, but the Mongol nobles and those monks would touch the interests of the local scholars and landlords. The Mongol nobles want to enclose the land, and the monks want to build temples, and they will not keep the peace. Moreover, the Mongols did not believe in the Southern Song Dynasty and would not respect the scholars, so these scholar landlords would inevitably be greatly weakened. That's a good thing for us! ”

Guo Xiang said lightly, his tone was unwavering, but her and Ye Fei's faces were very solemn, Bai Ye didn't take human life seriously at all, although it could weaken the power of the Shi clan, but there would be more people who died.

Sighing, Guo Xiang looked at the vast fields dyed with autumn colors and said: "We don't have that much ability to acquire a larger territory, and even if we take it, we can't manage it effectively, so let's do it!" ”

Guo Xiang didn't want to say more, she thought of a little in her heart, although Guo Fu said that he was a person in the rivers and lakes, but in Xiangyang it was indeed a big family, if one day, the white night attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, where would the father and mother go?

According to her understanding of Bai Ye, her brother will definitely not be treated any special because he is a relative, and as long as he resists, he will be severely punished. Especially now, father Guo Jing and eldest sister Guo Fu have a bad relationship with Bai Ye, and there is a deep gap.

"What you said is not true, if the Mongols can defeat the Southern Song Dynasty and unify this land, their ruler will inevitably make changes, at least on the surface, and he will also accept certain conditions in order to rule the Han people and appease the scholars."

Ye Fei thought for a while just now, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, the most powerful army in this era is the Mongol army, but the most stubborn and influential class must be the gentry class.

In order to cater to this class, the Mongol rulers had to rein in their subordinates and accept titles given by the gentry.

Ye Fei's guess was right, in fact, around 1252, Kublai Khan was asked by a group of Confucian scholars to accept the title of "Great Master of Confucianism".

It is not difficult to imagine that this is actually a bargain between you and me, Kublai Khan guaranteed the status of scholars, and scholars and Confucian scholars served Kublai Khan, and both obtained what they wanted. It's just that these Confucian students, who claim to have inherited the lessons of the saints, have long forgotten the etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and what national righteousness.

On the one hand, this also shows that at the juncture of life and death interests, there are few heroic and heroic figures, and the more high they are, the more vested interests they have, and the more afraid they are of death. This is the theory that the ass determines the head, would you really be stupid to think that a ruler thinks from the position of ordinary people?

"You're right, Kublai Khan already has the title of 'Confucian Grand Master', he is not as good as Meng Ge, he has Han strategists under him to give him advice, what kind of strategy we want to use, it is difficult to work, we can only rely on strong force to completely defeat them."

Guo Xiang remembered the story Bai Ye told him, when she and Bai Ye were only nine years old.

"It turns out that this group of guys who talk about the holy teachers all day long, learn Confucianism, and boast of etiquette, righteousness and shame are such a group of goods."

Ye Fei shook his head, his face was full of hatred, originally he still had a little affection for scholars, but now in retrospect, they were all a group of chickens and dogs, selfish and selfish.

"So we have to win this war, we are different from the Southern Song Dynasty, and we are also different from the Mongols. We are destined to be enemies of the scholars, and there are certainly noble people among them, but whoever dares to stand in our way, kill! ”

Guo Xiang's face was shocked and cold, his clothes were windless, and a cold killing intent erupted.
