Chapter 125: Fire Attack
"Lord Liu, Qingfeng Village has been surrounded by our regiments all around, and the dangerous roads along the cottage have cleared the obstacles, and at present, this group of thieves are hiding on the top of the mountain, and tomorrow they only need to launch a general attack, and they will be able to wipe out the remnants of the sins!"
A big man wearing the armor of the Tang Army came to a literati and said grovelly.
He was very puzzled, in his impression, there were hundreds of thieves in this Qingfeng Village, and each of them was a ruthless character. Although it was a surprise sneak attack, it was also very strange to break through the gate so easily!
"General Shen's departure was really extraordinary, and in less than half an hour, he attacked the cottage. It seems that the bandits of Qingfeng Village, under the military might of General Shen, are like lost dogs, not worth mentioning! ”
Looking at the smoke billowing Qingfeng Village in the distance, the mustachioed literati were very happy!
Hengzhou's mission went too smoothly, and he was originally worried that the gang of bandits in Qingfeng Village would occupy the mountain road and resist desperately, but he didn't expect to be attacked by the reckless man in front of him in a blink of an eye.
"The lower officials all drove the thieves from Qingfeng Village to the top of the mountain according to Lord Liu's strategy. Lord Liu is strategizing, and he has no last resort, and the officials are full of admiration! ”
Shen Wenliang, who is in charge of guarding Hengzhou, doesn't care about other messy things, whether it is the bandits in Qingfeng Village, or the struggle above the court, as long as he doesn't rebel, he has to behave well and strive to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
"General Shen, the letter lost by the military department this time is extremely sensitive, in order to prevent leakage, Lord Wang hopes that you will not talk to each other when you are in action, so as to avoid getting into trouble!"
That Wang Fugui has relied on the salt farm to resell it over the years, and he has also been greedy for a lot of money.
Under the temptation of money, officials of various ministries in Chang'an City have some interests in Wang Fugui, including the newly appointed secretary of the military department and Li Shimin's die-hard fan Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin also knows the relationship between the greasy and various links in the salt field, if it weren't for the fact that the throne had not yet been secured, a fat pig like Wang Fugui would have let the poor and crazy Li Shimin raid his house a long time ago!
The group of Confucian ministers above the court who were dignified and full of words were angry about Li Shimin's mutiny in Xuanwumen, and they were acting like every day in the court, giving full play to the state of fishing.
If that group of old ministers is fishing, then another group of ancient families with intricate relationships occupy important positions in the Tang Dynasty and wander outside the Three Realms.
If you want to survive in a feudal society, you have to accept too many unreasonable demands, including marriage.
The strength of some families should not be underestimated, and when Li Shimin seized power and ascended the throne, he was also forced to marry many children of the Chang'an Shi clan to expand his power in order to stabilize his rule.
Datang suffered a once-in-a-century natural disaster, and the country's military power could not be fully controlled, and the treasury was extremely empty. Li Shimin can only turn a blind eye for the time being, focusing his work on improving people's livelihood.
By improving people's livelihood and improving their living conditions, Li Shimin believes that with his outstanding political ability and Yang Ming's invention, it is no longer a dream to win the hearts and minds of the entire Tang Dynasty.
As long as you lie down for a few years, and when Datang recovers its vitality and the people live a good life, in that case, even if there is no popular will, it will not stir up a popular uprising.
When the time comes, the group of fat pigs above the court, Li Shimin is not just raising his hand, and he will slaughter whichever one he wants.
Therefore, in a sense, Yang Ming is a sharp blade in Li Shimin's hands. A sharp blade that slowly breaks the monopoly of the old aristocracy through a new type of reform, and a sharp blade that can plunder all funds into the hands of Li Shimin.
The emergence of a series of Yang Ming's products is bound to break the original ecological balance, and at the same time, it also affects the interests of many people.
In addition to Wang Fugui, there are also many officials who also want to take Yang Ming's life! It's just that they don't have the power of high-ranking officials, and they can't check and balance Yang Ming, so they can only pretend to be crazy and stupid, and give the green light to Wang Fugui, who is preparing to assassinate Yang Ming, all the way.
"Lord Liu, this group of bandits has been driven to the top of the mountain by us and can't come down! Otherwise, we will directly burn the mountain, clean and neat, and save us from wasting time with this group of bandits! ”
From Liu Qihu's words, it is not difficult to hear the doorway here, Shen Wenliang was afraid of a big event, so he put forward a plan to use a mountain fire to extinguish the mouth, saving time and effort, and not afraid of misunderstanding the people from the military department.
"It's not impossible to use mountain fire directly, I'm afraid that the wind direction is unpredictable, and the thieves will take advantage of the chaos to escape! I said, Lord Shen, as long as you wipe out all the bandits, don't worry about the rest! ”
When Liu Qihu heard the plan to set fire to the mountain, he originally wanted to agree. Liu Feng, who was beside him, secretly pulled his sleeve to calm him down and weigh the consequences of the fire burning the mountain.
This change in wind direction is uncontrollable, besides, if there is a secret passage or something like that on the mountain, then this fire will not only be in vain, but it may also create an opportunity for Yang Ming and his group to escape.
If Yang Ming can't die this time, then their Liu family will have a difficult life in Dai County in the future. Not only will business be suppressed for no reason, but life may not be guaranteed.
Among several big families in Dai County, the strength of the Yang family ranks first, but the lilac fire is not prosperous, and it has always been worried by other families. Next are the Shen family, the Liu family and the Lu family, who have always been worried about the Yang family's business.
Liu Qihu, who served in the Ministry of War, is also from the Liu family of Dai County, and he is the sibling brother of Liu Feng, the patriarch of the Liu family.
Liu Qihu recommended himself this time and personally came from Chang'an City to assassinate Yang Ming, so he wanted to use the Liu family in Daixian County as a bet to monitor Yang Ming's every move, find out Yang Ming's dynamics, and kill him in one fell swoop!
As soon as Yang Ming died, not only Liu Qihu could go further in the court, but the Liu family of Dai County could also rely on Wang Fugui's resources to turn over and sit in the first place in Dai County.
"Lord Liu, there is no problem with destroying all the bandits, my subordinates are worried that this Qingfeng Village mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To wipe out this gang of bandits, it will take a lot of time and materials, I don't know... ”
Shen Wenliang was a little depressed, if you don't set the fire, you have to at least give some supplies!
The group of brothers under his hands are all rushing for merit, and they all come out with their heads to brush up on military merits. If this is a protracted war with the bandits of Qingfeng Village, it will be a big problem in terms of materials!
After doing it for most of the day, the entire Qingfeng Village has not harvested more than 30 heads, and it is not a good day! If there were no other benefits, Shen Wenliang was afraid that after a long time, he would not be able to suppress the group of big-headed soldiers under him.
"General Shen, to be able to work for the Ministry of War, that is Lord Wang's affirmation of you, and it is also your honor! As for the supplies, you don't need to worry, I have already asked people to transfer enough food and reward money for General Shen to dispose of.
It's just that Lord Wang said that in order to avoid long days and dreams, General Shen was personally commanded, so that the brothers could kill the thieves bravely and solve the leak incident as soon as possible! ”
