"This Guo Jiaque, he will make trouble for the old man!" Ze Lu made a gesture, and Chang Si waved his hand at Guo Wei's messenger Zhang Yongde, complaining loudly. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info fat and round old face, but it is full of happy smiles.

A vicious battle related to the fortunes of the Han Dynasty, but there is nothing to do with him. used to be a general of a hundred battles, but now he squats in Luzhou City every day to soak mushrooms with the village sages and tyrants everywhere. In the past month or so, I have been thinking about how tired I am. can be greasy and crooked, without Liu Zhiyuan's holy decree, he didn't dare to poke his minions through the towering Taixing. Dragons all have reverse scales, and in order to save Shi Xiaofei's life a few months ago, he had already touched it once, and he must not touch it a second time unless he had to.

And sending troops without a holy decree is one of the biggest rebellions. Especially when Liu Zhiyuan is getting seriously suspicious, even if he only sends a few hundred foot soldiers to cross Taihang, it is inevitable that he will not be punished for the crime of treason. The friendship between the two in the past who lived and died together has no effect at all at this moment.

Now it's okay, Guo Wei's handwritten letter and just a few words of advice immediately made Chang Si see a "clear road". It doesn't matter if you don't send troops, anyway, you don't have many soldiers and horses in your hands, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. However, sending minions to infiltrate the caravan to make trouble in the Great Liao Kingdom will not make people think about rebellion, right? As for the expenses required for a toss, there is no need to consider it at all. At present, Chang Si is most lacking money, behind which there is the accumulation of several generations of the family to support, and at hand, there are also large amounts of old debts that have been recovered from the various fortified villages under his rule.

Speaking of arrears, you can't boast about Boss Liu, who is standing at the end of the military general queue at the moment. Although he escaped a death robbery that day, this person completely offended the local villagers because he came forward to testify against Xu Yanwu. So you didn't dare to go back, so she simply took refuge in Chang Si and became a 100-man infantry general under the latter.

If you want to integrate into the military circle under Chang Si, of course, you can't just rely on thick skin. Therefore, Boss Liu simply did not do anything, and brought out the many means of colluding with corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the townsmen, desperately looting the people, and intercepting taxes and self-enrichment. And take the initiative to ask for help, and go to the company to assist in reminding.

At this moment, those local sages and heroes are completely numb. If you want to carry it clearly, think about the fact that 10,000 horses were defeated by Chang Si's 500 cavalry a few days ago, and your legs are weak and your feet are weak. wanted to continue to play tricks, but he couldn't hide the "expert" of Boss Liu, so most of the fortresses took the initiative to lose their sincerity within the first time limit given by Chang Si, paid the arrears to the nearest county seat for three consecutive years, and disbanded the privately raised Zhuang Ding generals as soon as possible, in order to show that they had no intention of resisting.

Of course, there are also some Zhuangzi and fortresses close to the mountains, which are still gritting their teeth. In this regard, Chang Si was not in a hurry, but just sent his subordinate Wang Zhengzhong to lead the soldiers and horses, from near to far, one after another to urge. When encountering Zhuangzi who took the initiative to open the door and surrender, according to what Chang Si said before, he doubled the three-year arrears. When encountering those who dare to collude with the bandits and grass robbers to resist, they will first kill the bandits who came to support and the Zhuang Ding who is defending the fortress, and then the owner of the fortress will be punished on the spot for the crime of banditry, and all the family property will be confiscated, and the land under his name will be directly distributed to the regimental training soldiers who participated in the battle, in order to commend his loyalty and bravery.

In this way, only four or five fortresses were served, and those castle owners who thought that they could use the bandits to support themselves were completely emboldened. Without waiting for Wang Zhengzhong to lead the soldiers and horses to the front of the house, he took the initiative to strip off his shirt and carried the thorn strip on his back to welcome him ten miles away. admits beating and accepts punishment, just asking the other party to leave a way for his whole family to live.

For these lost people who have returned, Wang Zhengzhong is not too persecutive. first ask the other party to double the tax arrears of Zhuangzi in the past three years, and then order the other party to pay a "levy fee" to the labor army. In this way, those township sages and heroes, although they saved their lives and land, they were also completely broken. If you want to regain your former strength, I am afraid that without ten or eight years of lying on the salary, you will not see any hope.

With the accumulation of large amounts of arrears of taxes and the self-restraint of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the local governments at all levels in Luzhou finally began to operate normally. The vitality of the market has also begun to slowly recover. And with the taxes and confiscated income from the treasury, Chang Si was finally able to let go of the annexation and rectification of local soldiers and horses, and recruit strong men from the people to expand his strength. Zelu Jiedu is no longer a mourning dog with only five hundred private soldiers, but has gradually become a real prince!

"If there is any difficulty here for my uncle and grandfather, you might as well show it directly. Whoever can make the decision for the adults of my family can promise never shirk!" After seeing Chang Si smiled, he kept silent, and Guo Wei's messenger Zhang Yongde hesitated again and again, and cautiously added.

He is Guo Wei's son-in-law, and before Guo Wei became famous, he always called Chang Si, who was not a few years older than him, Uncle Chang. So after a detailed discussion, he is two generations younger than Chang Si, and he can only call the other party his uncle.

When Chang Si heard this, he smiled slightly, waved his hand at Zhang Yongde, and said in a low voice: "What's so embarrassing? It's just a stab in the back." I didn't do it before, not because I wouldn't, but because I didn't want to use these methods on my own people. Now to calculate Zhao Yanshou, of course, there are no taboos!"

"Thank you, uncle and grandfather!" Zhang Yongde was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly stood up and bowed for a long time.

"No need to be polite!" Chang Si waved his hand at him again, and said in a deep voice, "Xinzhou and Daizhou have always been important places to communicate with Saishang. Before the Khitans conquered the Bohai Kingdom, most of the silk tea and red goods needed by the chieftains and nobles were transported out by merchants through these two places. The war horses we need in Hedong are also transported from these two places. Now that the Khitan people have just changed the emperor, once the son of heaven and a courtier, there will definitely be many new nobles riding the wind. With their flamboyant character, I am afraid that the shortage of all kinds of fine fabrics and jewelry is not ordinarily large. It is not difficult to find a few brothers who are flexible and can speak well to stuff into the caravan, and get in touch with those Khitan upstarts. The crux of the matter is that in addition to the crime of losing a teacher and humiliating the country, there are other crimes that can be placed on Zhao Yanshou's head? And how can we not be suspected that we are sowing discord? You know, that Yelu Ruan is not a fool. He can be the son of a criminal minister, overwhelm Yelu Deguang's younger brother Li Hu and eldest son Yelu Jing, and seize the position of Khitan lord, he must be very shrewd. If our side does too much obviously, not only will we not be able to let Zhao Yanshou go, but will we do him a great favor?" (Note 1)

"...... this?" Zhang Yongde and the surrounding civilians and martial arts heard this, and their minds immediately became a little unable to keep up. Like Chang Si, everyone usually focuses on using troops to fight wars and govern places, and they are really unfamiliar with how to frame and manipulate right and wrong, and they really can't come up with a very good strategy for a while.

"Then it sees, on the Khitan side, is there anyone staring at the position of the Privy Council of Zhinan!" While everyone was meditating, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded from the tail of the military generals. "If there is, why bother our people to take the initiative to plant it. Give him the money and the handle, and he will take it and move around. Even if the Khitan lord perceives something, at most it is just an intrigue within them, and they can't think of us anyway. ”

Note 1: Yelu Ruan's father, Yelu Beizhi, lost the internal struggle and fled to the Central Plains to avoid trouble. Therefore, Yelu Ruan was originally regarded as the son of a criminal minister in the Khitan Kingdom, and he was very unpopular, and among many uncles and uncles, only Yelu Deguang was more kind to him. After Yelu Deguang died of illness, he was held the throne by the generals of the Southern Expedition in Zhenzhou. and quickly defeated Yelu Li Hu, purged Li Hu and the remnants of the Empress Dowager, and sat firmly on the throne.
