Chapter 348: People's hearts are hanging in the balance, and the Heavenly Dao is temporarily empty

Songzhou is on the edge of Bianzhou, the two places are connected, and it is only 300 miles from Junyi County to Songcheng County.

Both states are wealthy, with fertile land that has been developed for thousands of years, and which are well connected by rivers and feed a large number of people.

If there is any famous person, that is, there is a person named Zhao Kuangyin decades later, who became an envoy to the German army here.

It is also because of this that after becoming the emperor, the country was named Song.

Now, Zhao Kuangyin and his grandfather Zhao Jing are still assassins in Zhuozhou. His son Zhao Hongyin is not to mention peeing and mud, and he is still in a liquid state.

There are 360 prefectures in Datang and more than 1,500 counties.

But what can really be called a feudal town, that is, there are only more than 40 of them that have set up festivals.

The remaining more than 300 states are either defense envoys, observation envoys, economic and strategic envoys, or simply regimental training or something.

And Song Prefecture belongs to the most common type, that is, ordinary people's states, which are set up without governors and only with a history of assassination.

After Li Longji's restructuring, when the state was established, the boss of a state was the assassin.

And when a county was established, the head of a county was Taishou.

Thorn Shi and Taishou are each other's names.

The current history of Songzhou is Zhang Rui, a typical civil official of the Tang Dynasty.

The civil officials of the Tang Dynasty are not the so-called scholars who only make money in addition to kowtowing in the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although it is far inferior to the early Tang Dynasty, it is still possible to carry a sword and cut people on a horse, and to govern a place when dismounted.

Zhang Rui governed Songzhou quite well, at least he barely saved the people under his rule in this troubled era.

He pulled out a local team through regimental training, and it is definitely not possible to go out to fight, but it is good to protect his hometown.

Relying on this group training, in the face of attacks from all directions, he finally barely managed to protect the people.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the big towns in the vicinity are busy with their own affairs and have not sent the main force over.

If it was like Li Yunze at this time, he personally brought more than 10,000 elite armorers to the expedition in person, and those group drills would naturally be vulnerable.

"How so?" On the head of Songcheng County, Zhang Rui looked stupidly at the regimental trainers who had been sent by him to resist the invasion of the Xuanwu Army, and at this time they were happily camping with the Xuanwu Army to boil water and cook rice.

The combat effectiveness of the regimental training is not strong, but there are many people.

There are more than 20,000 people, and all of them are gone?

Even if it's 20,000 pigs, you can't catch them all in a day!

Zhang Rui was very angry and scolded the group practitioners for not contributing to their hometown.

Unexpectedly, the well-fed and well-fed group trainers took the initiative to go out and shouted to the defenders in the city outside the range of the bow and crossbow, "Li Jiedu divides the field for me~~~ Each person has twenty acres of land, and it is all Yongye field, not mouth field!" If you don't come home and divide the land, there will be no yours

portions. ”

As soon as these words came out, the defenders on the city wall were suddenly shaken.

They are all villagers in the countryside, and even many people's relatives are in the city and under the city, so the credibility of the words is naturally very high.

Moreover, the news of the division of fields in Bianzhou has long been transmitted to Songzhou.

In the past, there were only rumors, but now they can be regarded as confirmed by their own people.

The defenders immediately became agitated, and relied on bullets and generous rewards to barely appease.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Rui can also see that the group drills defending the city no longer have any fighting spirit. If the Xuanwu army comes over at this time, it will basically be able to break through the city in one battle.

However, what puzzled him was that Li Yunze outside the city had no intention of attacking the city at all.

Not to mention the siege, not even the siege equipment has been built.

Zhang Rui really couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it, and inspected the city wall until it was dark, and the torches were lit around him, and then he went down to the city and went back to the Shifu to rest.

The people in the house had been waiting for a long time, and the head of the family had not yet returned, so no one could eat first.

There is only one reason why there is only one reason why the head of the family carries the whole family, and all the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even social status depend on the head of the family. Waiting for him to come back and eat again is a matter of course.

Open your mouth to respect and close your mouth to be equal or something, first solve your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then talk about this.

The atmosphere at dinner was a little solemn, after all, the army outside the city besieged the city, and in this era, it was easy to ask the whole family to go to the grave together.

After dinner in a muffled voice, Zhang Rui left a few sons to go to the study to discuss countermeasures.

But his sons are all wastes, in addition to cheering himself up and saying that he will be able to hold on, the idea is either to write to the imperial court to send an envoy to scold Li Yunze for retiring from the army, or to marry his sister to the elders of various nearby feudal towns in exchange for reinforcements.

Anyway, it is either meaningless to accuse Li Yunze morally, or to play the traditional skills of marrying and winning over allies.

Zhang Rui was so disappointed that she kicked her sons out, and sighed in the study.

The reason is very simple, he knows that he can't hide this time.

At this time, his daughter Zhang Hui came to the study with the soup, "Aya is working hard for the people, let's drink a bowl of ginseng soup first." ”

"Okay." Looking at her beautiful daughter, Zhang Rui squeezed out a smiling face, picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip.

When he looked up and saw that Zhang Hui was still there, he looked puzzled, "Something?" ”

Zhang Hui hesitated, but still chose to speak, "Yes, the Xuanwu army is powerful, as strong as Huangchao, and it has been wiped out. There are only more than 10,000 people in Songzhou City who are strong and defend the city, how can they bear it. ”

Zhang Rui frowned when she heard this: "What do you want to say?" ”

"yes." Zhang Hui heard the impatience in his father's words, but still said, "It's better to come down." ”

On one side is the world-famous supreme army, and on the other side is the farmer who has just put down his hoe, can there be any other way out if he does not surrender?

Zhang Rui, who was silent for a while, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to descend, but I can't descend." ”

"Then Li Yunze forcibly seized it, destroyed people and seized wealth, and even robbed the fields, and then distributed them to the Qianshou mud legs. The squires and celebrities of the entire Song Prefecture are in the city, what if I demote them? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui, who sighed for a long time, waved his hand again and again, "You don't understand, go, go." ”

Zhang Hui, who was puzzled, said goodbye and left, but after going out, he still didn't understand, 'I'm dying, what do I care about the squire and celebrity?' ’

On the second day, when Zhang Rui, who had dark circles under his eyes, went up to the city wall, he was stunned to see many people outside holding long ropes and wooden stakes, measuring the fields piece by piece.

After the measurement is completed, a person dressed as a small official will issue a document on the spot and use a large seal.

Although it was far away, the cheers when the fields were divided outside were still clearly heard, and it was so harsh.

Zhang Rui shook and almost fell on the head of the city.

Although he couldn't fully figure it out, he had a vague sense that this was a super big event, big enough to destroy everything!

When he finally came back to his senses, he was stunned to see that there was already chaos around him, and even the city gate had been opened.

Familiar relatives and friends outside the city, fellow villagers and even enemies have begun to divide the land, what are you still doing standing stupidly in this city?

Watching them divide all the fields, and then they have no place to stand in the future?

These people who had just put down their hoes rushed down the city like crazy, opened the city gate and ran out in a swarm.

What Songzhou City, the life and death of the old men in the city are all, and the division of fields is the most important thing.

Zhang Rui sat on it, her eyes empty and desperate.

He finally figured it out now, Li Yunze can win the world with this trick!

"Envoy." The henchmen around him stomped their feet eagerly, "I also want to quickly call all the families in the city to come out to defend the city." ”

When the news of Li Yunze's army came, the local powerful families in Songzhou basically all hid in Songzhou City, which was protected by tall city walls.

Over there, Li Yunze's army marched very slowly, and even took the initiative to divide his troops to drive the Haoqiang family towards the state city intentionally or unintentionally.

So at this time, the Haoqiang family in the entire Song Prefecture was basically in the city.

They have money, food, and people, and if they are mobilized, they can raise a team of soldiers and horses, and they will not be pulled away because of the division of fields outside the city.

"It's too late." The disheartened Zhang Rui shook his head again and again, "If they had the heart to send the children of the clan to the city as soon as possible, they would not have today's incident." ”

The gentry in the hometown of Haoqiang are still the traditional concept, and the matter of fighting and dying is left to the Qianshou, and they can eat, drink, and enjoy high music at home.

Seeing that the armor soldiers outside the city began to line up and slowly approach the city gate, Zhang Rui hurriedly got up, "Go back to the house quickly, and call everyone to flee quickly!" ”

When Li Yunze rode into the city, everything was already over.

The gentry of the Haoqiang family in Songzhou were basically all in one pot, and when the armor rushed into each house, they didn't even know that the city had been breached.

For these people, Li Yunze just waved his hand and asked the armorers to take them away and dispose of them, leaving them useless.

When they came all the way to the Assassin's Mansion, the Assassin's family, who had fled before, had already been arrested.

After all, Li Yunze deliberately designed this game to catch them all, how could it be easy to let them escape.

Looking at the people of Zhang Rui's family kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, Li Yunze took off his helmet and before he could speak, Zhang Hui, who was not far away, looked up and called, "Please Li Jiedu forgive me and other family members, the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the great kindness of the festival." ”

looked over, it was a beautiful girl.

Li Yunze asked surgingly, "Who are you?" ”

"The little woman's name is Zhang Hui, and she is the daughter of the Song Prefecture Thorn History."

"Zhang Hui?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly, he had seen this name when he checked Zhu Wen's information.

After a little groaning, Li Yunze waved his hand, "Leave her behind, and everyone else will be locked up." ”

Before the Zhang family was taken away, they all looked at Zhang Hui with pleading eyes, begging her to serve Li Yunze well and find a way to get herself out.

Taking control of Songzhou is not the end, but the beginning.

For most emperors, it is enough to control the place and get the allegiance of the Haoqiang family, to be able to collect taxes and food, and to get the manpower support of the Haoqiang family.

But for Li Yunze, it is far from enough.

It's just a reskinning, and after two or three hundred years, the cycle will be repeated.

So Li Yunze has a lot to do, and the first thing is to uproot the local snakes!
