Liu Yu didn't expect Sun Xiang to be so capable and capable, nor did he expect that the people under his command would be so wasteful, and he couldn't even solve the problem of a county soldier, and as a result, Zhao Wang's Mansion was surrounded.

Liu Yu was shocked and angry, and after a period of panic, he stabilized his mind and wanted to find Zhao Guoxiang to solve the problem, and let him give him an explanation.

He thought that Fu Qian could solve Sun Xiang's problem, but Fu Qian actually said that he did not have the power to command the county soldiers, and the command of the county soldiers came from the imperial court, not from him.

Therefore, although Fu Qian was not very satisfied with Sun Xiang's "offensive behavior", he could not order Sun Xiang to lift the siege of Zhao Wangfu.

Of course, Liu Yu could not accept such a statement, and was extremely annoyed by Sun Xiang's offensive behavior, and repeatedly sent people to try to break out of the encirclement and attack Sun Xiang's subordinates.

Sun Xiang, of course, was not a soft persimmon, and fought a defensive counterattack, warning Liu Yu many times, telling him that he was Liu Bei's subordinate, not his Liu Yu's, and if Liu Yu continued to do such a thing, it would be forced to fight back.

Liu Yu didn't believe that he dared to make a move, so he provoked many times, but Sun Xiang really launched a counterattack on the single, and also launched a feint attack on Zhao Wangfu many times, which scared Liu Yu and the relatives in Zhao Wangfu.

Liu Yu was very annoyed by this, and sent people out to insult and threaten Sun Xiang many times, saying that Sun Xiang had offended the royal family of the clan, and wanted to find Liu Bei to ask for his life, and to let Sun Xiang's three clans be exterminated, and the whole family was killed, and he wanted him to kneel in front of him and lick his shoes and beg for mercy.

However, Liu Yu's words could not shake Sun Xiang's will, and Sun Xiang continued to maintain the siege of the Zhao Palace, resisting the attack of the rebels outside the city, and persevered until Xu Huang arrived, and also persevered until the total annihilation of the Zhao rebels, and the three clans of the main messengers behind the scenes.

There is no doubt that Sun Xiang became the final victor, and Xu Huang was very satisfied with Sun Xiang's persistence and was ready to give him a great credit.

As for the insignificant role played by Fu Qian in this matter, Xu Huang has nothing to say, Fu Qian must be derelict in his duties, but it will not be dereliction of duty, so how to deal with him in the end has to wait for Liu Bei's decision.

As for King Zhao and Liu Amnesty, Xu Huang felt that there was nothing more to say.

According to his understanding of Liu Bei, the elimination of the three clans is a high probability event, and the fact that the king of the sect participates in the rebellion is a fatal thing in any dynasty, although the king of the sect is usually honored, but it cannot involve the imperial power, once the imperial power is involved, it will inevitably be punched by the emperor with thunder and hit hard.

When Xu Huang arrived at the Zhao Palace, the first section of the Zhao County National Soldiers was still maintaining the physical blockade of the Zhao Palace, and these days, no one in the Zhao Palaces was allowed to go out, only Sun Xiang's specially selected people who delivered water, food and rice were able to enter and exit, and when they entered and exited, they had to be strictly searched to ensure that no contact could be reached inside and outside the palace.

Seeing such a blockade situation, Xu Huang was very satisfied, and patted Sun Xiang's shoulder again and praised him.

Subsequently, Xu Huang entered the Zhao Palace, fully armed, wearing armor, and carrying strong guards around him, entering the Zhao Palace, like a conqueror, not a courtier.

The servants of Zhao Wangfu stepped forward to block it, Xu Huang's eyes widened, and these slaves were beaten by the guards around them, and the rest of the people saw this, their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to take any action.

Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, was furious when he heard the news, and soon came to Xu Huang, seeing Xu Huang beating people under his command in his own mansion, and beating his slaves into such a miserable state, he was very angry, pointing at Xu Huang and scolding.

"Who are you? How dare you commit murder in my house?! I am a member of the Han clan! King Zhao! How dare you offend me like this, do you know what happens when you offend me? ”

Xu Huang glared at Liu Yu.

"I don't know what will happen to offending King Zong, because this is the first time, but I know what will happen to rebellion, because the traitor who died at my hands is not the first."

Liu Yu's face froze, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Nonsense! Full of gibberish! What rebellion? I am a member of the Han clan, and I am the king of the sect, and I am the heaviest clan! How could I rebel?! ”

"There are all human and material evidence, what else is there to quibble?"

Xu Huang sneered: "It was the people of your house who attacked the city gate, and they used the special blades of your house, which are all clear evidence, and it is also your responsibility to break the sky!" My lord, although I am a courtier, everyone in the world will be punished for rebels! Is there any direct difference between the king and the common people? All anti-thieves! ”

"Nonsense! I've never done anything like that! Someone did it behind my back! I'm innocent! I want to see His Majesty the Emperor! I want to redress my grievances! This has nothing to do with me! You slander me! I'll make you pay! ”

Liu Yu couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and tried his best to refute what Xu Huang said, obviously unwilling to admit it.

Xu Huang could only sneer at this.

"It's useless to tell me, it's Your Majesty who judges you, not me, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, the key is whether Your Majesty believes it or not, don't say anything else, wait for Your Majesty to learn about this, see how Your Majesty handles it, but right now, King, you are in trouble."

Xu Huang waved his hand, and the guards around him rushed up and tied Liu Yu to the ground.

"Xu Huang! How dare you arrest me? You dare to offend me? I'm going to punish you three clans! Destroy your three tribes!! ”

Liu Yu was furious, shouting and scolding, and resisted with all his might, and his family, retainers, and domestic slaves were also shocked and stepped forward to try to help him get out of trouble.

Xu Huang was furious, pulled his sword out of the sheath, pointed at the person who came and said angrily: "If you go further, you will not blame General Ben for being polite!" King Zhao is suspected of rebellion, and the same is true for you! There is a suspicion of being an accomplice! Around! Take it all with me! Don't let any of them go! ”

"Yui!"

The guards around Xu Huang rushed out and took down Liu Yu's family, retainers and domestic servants, etc., and after a while, Liu Yu's wives and concubines, children, relatives in the house, retainers, and so on More than 300 people, all of them were caught, and they were all tied up, and none of them were left behind.

Zhao Wangfu was wiped out by Xu Huang, and there was no one left, and it ended cleanly.

Subsequently, Xu Huang ordered his subordinate officers to lead an elite army to quickly escort these people to Luoyang and hand them over to Liu Bei for interrogation.

After he rectified the chaos in Handan City, he sent troops to recover Yiyang County, which was broken by the rebels, and then reorganized his troops and horses, and joined the soldiers of Changshan County and Zhao County, who were going south, and led more than 13,000 men and horses to make a slight correction, and then marched eastward and entered Julu County.

Julu County was the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Uprising that year, the local native-born wealthy clan, the big landlord class was destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, and was repeatedly destroyed by the old Han army to counterinsurgency, after the post-disaster reconstruction, Julu County has become a relatively clean and harmonious county, the internal contradictions are small, there is no dispute, the survivors and the migrants are working hard to cultivate the land, live well.

Therefore, Julu County has developed so far, lacking some local wealthy families with great power, but there are many collective farms, and the popularity of imperial court decrees here is very high.

The imperial court's Dutian Order is an itch for the vast majority of people in Julu County, it will not hurt them, but will bring them some benefits, so Julu County is relatively stable as a whole, only a rebel army appeared in Pingxiang County, with a number of six or seven thousand, which was quickly eliminated by Xu Huang's cavalry.

The next highlight is in Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County.

Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were also the hardest hit areas of the war in the era when Yuan Shao and Liu Bei competed, but because most of the wealthy families were not optimistic about Yuan Shao at that time, they did not take refuge in Yuan Shao, preserved their respective strengths, and were not liquidated after the war, but quickly restored their original status with Liu Bei's stability of the place.

Therefore, after most of the wealthy forces fell silent for a while, they also quickly recovered their original power, and with the stability of the world over the years, their power has even developed a lot.

Moreover, after the war, Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were divided by Liu Bei into the eunuch group and the conservatives of the ancient literature school at that time out of the necessity of co-opting, and Liu Bei did not interfere in these two places, and even the chief administrator was not his own person.

The administrators of these two counties were all people from the ancient literature school and the eunuch group at that time, including the entire southern part of Jizhou, most of them were the sphere of influence of the ancient literature school and the eunuch group, so in every sense, these places can belong to the insect base camp.

Since it is the base camp of insects, it is not strange that piles of insects and Liu Bei are embarrassed at a critical moment.

Dutian order was transmitted to these two places, and basically immediately stabbed a hornet's nest to make the insects in the two places jump to their feet, Ganling State Minister Shi Yiguan and Bohai County Shou Cai Yong both belong to the old-school officials, focusing on a consultation, and don't want to hurt everyone's harmony, so the two of them separately found the local noble family to discuss and see if they can solve the matter peacefully.

I have to say that among the wealthy families of the scholars in the two places, there are also people who understand, and they clearly understand that if they resist and move troops, they will definitely be suppressed by Liu Bei, and with the degree of good fighting under Liu Bei, they will definitely be defeated by him, and then the three clans will be destroyed, the family will be lost, and it will end up miserable.

When they discussed internally, they raised this possibility, and believed that the only loss of accepting Dutian Ling was the loss of the economic level, and it was even possible to get Liu Bei's compensation at the political level because of the following of the political level.

In other words, sending people south to Jiaozhou to open up a family branch is not something that cannot be considered.

But if they refuse to do the Tian Order, they may face a ruthless political blow and military blow, and they may not be able to carry the past, even if they carried it during the period of Emperor Guangwu, they also paid quite heavy losses before and after, and many people died for it, in exchange for Emperor Guangwu's compromise.

Now, can they still pay so much, and can they still exchange for Liu Bei's compromise?

Although the risk was huge, because there was too much land and too heavy taxes, the insects couldn't bear such an outcome, so most of the families still chose to refuse the Dutian order, and joined forces, raised troops to rebel, and used military force to directly put pressure on Liu Bei.

Because the internal quarrel was too intense, and some officials in the official family did not want to be an enemy of Liu Bei, nor did they want to lose their official position and future, let alone take risks for it, so after the fierce quarrel, they chose to leave the family.

Even at the risk of being expelled from their ancestral homes by their families, these officials must draw a clear line with the insects in the family, and some even take great risks to report to the officials and ask the chief administrative officer to act quickly.

For example, Cai Yong received a letter from Meng Yuan, a county official of Bohai County and a member of the Meng family, so he was shocked to inform Jiang Xian, the commander of the national soldiers of Bohai County, that he was able to arrange the defense of Nanpi County, the capital of Bohai County, before the rebels acted, and successfully kept Nanpi County when the rebels attacked, and also defeated some of the rebel organizations in the city who tried to cooperate with the outside world.

Cai Yong has not experienced the war and is still somewhat capable of handling government affairs, but when it comes to the military, he is really not good, and his military sensitivity is not good, and he almost missed something.

Despite this, he himself is also old, but he did not flinch in the face of the dilemma of tens of thousands of rebels besieging the city.

He put on his armor, climbed the city tower to deliver hot meals to the soldiers, beat the drums and cheered against the attack of the rebels, and a few arrows passed by him but could not break his courage, which successfully showed his courage and responsibility as a county guard, boosted morale, and made a lot of contributions to this defensive operation in a considerable sense.

And the situation in Ganlingguo is a bit worse.

As in the case of Zhao, Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, was also one of the kings who was deeply dissatisfied with Liu Bei's means of inheriting the throne and a series of policies, and because of the strong rebellion of Ganling, everyone was willing to elect Liu Zhong as the leader, so Liu Zhong decided to join the rebellion and lead everyone to rebel against Liu Bei.

But at the beginning, Liu Zhong didn't want to reveal his identity, nor did he want to be regarded as a rebellion so quickly, which would lead to Liu Bei's army to crusade, so he hid his existence and wanted to wait for the situation to become clear before standing in front of the stage.

This decision confused the power of the imperial court in Ganling, especially when Shi Yiguan, the minister of Ganlin, went to report the news, Liu Zhong agreed, saying that he would never be an enemy of the imperial court, and also made Shi Yiguan very happy, thinking that he had good luck, and the other county ministers must be envious of him to death.

When the rebels attacked the county seat of Ganling, Liu Zhong did not do it immediately, but waited very cleverly for seven days, and only when the defenders in the city were gradually exhausted under the siege of the rebels, he chose to take action.

He sent the guards of the palace to form a team, and suddenly attacked, and the inside and outside should be combined, which eventually led to the loss of Ganling County.

To say that it was also bad luck on the side of Ganling State, Wei Chang, the captain of the national soldiers of Ganling County, was seriously ill at that time, and at the critical moment when the rebels were gathering to prepare for an attack, Wei Chang died of illness and failed to fulfill his responsibilities.

The successor deputy Wang Ke took office in a hurry, there were too many things to deal with, the defense was not firmly arranged, and the rebels attacked in seven days, and the number of defenders in the city was not much, and the energy was consumed a lot, so he was attacked by the team of dead soldiers sent by Liu Zhong at the east city gate.

After the loss of the East City Gate, the rebels swarmed in, Wang Ke tried to lead the personal guards to counterattack the East City Gate, but because the number of rebels was too large, Wang Ke was invincible, so he could only give up Ganling County, choose to break through, protect Shi Yiguan to move in the direction of Lingxian, try to seek help to the south, and then counterattack Ganling.

But all this happened quite quickly, so much so that Xu Huang didn't know it when he led his troops north to Jizhou.

By the time Liu Zhong suddenly turned back, Xu Huang had already led his troops to work in Wei County.

And by the time Xu Huang knew about the incident in Ganling Kingdom, the Ganling Kingdom had already completed its boat.

Xu Huang was very annoyed, but he had no choice but to continue to lead his troops in the direction of Ganling Kingdom, hoping that when he arrived in Ganling Kingdom, the situation would not become too bad.
