Yonghe 9th year, April.

There is a great drought in the world.

Yangzhou.

Fang Yuan and everyone came to a big lake in Yangzhou to watch the drought.

"I didn't expect that this drought would dry up Chengde Lake..."

Looking at the Chengde Lake, which was exposed to the riverbed and covered with white bones, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.

This kind of drought is rare in a century.

And now that there is such a severe drought, it will undoubtedly shake the rule of Da Zhao.

Even if Fang Yuan does not have troops, there will be displaced people who will raise troops.

"It is said that half of the thirteen states in the world have drought, and the situation is not optimistic." A monk spoke at this moment.

"The immortals are doing things at this time, conforming to the time of the day, responding to the hearts of the people, it can be said that they occupy the right time and place, and once they do something, they will inevitably be like a bamboo."

Everyone complimented Fang Yuan again and again.

Fang Yuan smiled lightly, his eyes turned, and he looked at the hungry people running to the dry riverbed to look for food, and sighed slightly: "Inform it, the morning after tomorrow, we will do things together." ”

"In this battle, don't make any mistakes."

Fang Yuan's gaze swept towards everyone, and the divine light flowing from his eyes made everyone dare not look directly, and they all lowered their heads.

"We will do our best, please rest assured."

The crowd assured.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded lightly, did not continue to speak, and looked at the riverbed.

As for the result of the day after tomorrow, he already knows it, and there will be no surprises.

Because, their strength is here, even if there are some small differences, it will not affect the overall situation.

When the time comes, half of the 11 counties and 84 counties in Yangzhou will fall into my hands. ’

Fang Yuan's gaze moved slightly.

He had already set it up, and he had put in two or three Taoist monks who practiced extraordinary martial arts in forty county towns, as well as dozens of elite soldiers.

With these people here, all the county seats are not to worry about, and the county seats can be firmly controlled in an instant.

As for the largest city in Yangzhou, Jiankang City, he personally occupied it.

When everything is ready, gather your forces, recruit the hungry, and the rest will be easy.

In April of the ninth year of Yonghe, Yangzhou had a way to originate from the general, raised troops to raise troops, occupied more than 40 counties in Yangzhou in one day, and the Linhai county guard learned that he gathered the soldiers in the county to fight, but it was destroyed overnight.

At this moment, most of the city's territory has been lost in Yangzhou, including Jiankang, the largest city in Yangzhou.

When the news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the world was shaken.

The imperial court ordered to mobilize soldiers from the large states near Yangzhou, gather together, a total of 150,000 troops, and enter Yangzhou to quell the rebellion.

At the same time, the Decree of Surrender was issued.

In Jiankang City, there is no longer the scene of the flow of people like a sea in the past, and at this moment, the city is full of a smell of gunsmoke.

Since Fang Yuan occupied Jiankang City, he wantonly recruited hungry people and opened warehouses to release grain, although he bought some people's hearts, but at this time, the majesty of Da Zhao was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the people in Jiankang City were still unstable.

Although Fang Yuan ordered many shops to be allowed to open as usual, few people came out to buy supplies, and they all hid at home and closed their doors.

The largest family in Jiankang City, the Li family, known as the county wang, gathered the elite clansmen together at this moment to discuss the situation.

"Three days ago, what the hell was going on? How can Jiankang City be lost if it is lost? Patriarch Li Sheng frowned, never understanding.

"It is said that this traitor used hundreds of soldiers to kill the yamen and the soldiers defending the city until they surrendered, and I don't know if it's true..."

Someone spoke up at this moment and told the news he had discovered.

Fang Yuan's actions were too fast, unimaginably fast, and unimaginably smooth.

Although Yangzhou is now suffering from drought, most of the soldiers are suppressing the situation and have no time to worry about anything else.

However, there are at least thousands of soldiers in Jiankang City, and now they have been killed by more than 100 people to surrender, which is really unbelievable.

"Hey." Patriarch Li Sheng shook his head and sighed: "After the situation stabilizes in a few days, let's go and find out the news." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"However, although this traitor rebelled, we don't have to worry too much, after all, no matter who it is, they need to rely on us to rule the world."

Everyone smiled slightly, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

Indeed, no matter who it is, even if it is a rebel army, it is necessary to rely on them to govern the people, because in this world, people who can read are always a minority of the minority.

"Although this thief is powerful and can occupy most of the city of Yangzhou in one fell swoop by relying on Tianshi, but in my opinion, it will not last long, and he may be exterminated by the army sent by the imperial court in a few months." A young man in blue spoke at this moment.

"Since ancient times, anyone who started an army at the end of the dynasty, even if he had divine help when he started his army, but none of them could last long."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, this person, in my opinion, is just a precursor to the king, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

"However, this person is still somewhat knowledgeable, and he did not immediately claim the title of king, but gave the court some opportunities to turn around, and when the time comes, after losing to the imperial court's heavenly army, he can still be recruited by the imperial court."

After becoming the king, the two sides will naturally be the enemies of life and death.

"It's just that the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress this person, and it will take at least two or three months to mobilize grain and grass, and during this time, we must act cautiously."

Speaking of this, Li Sheng smiled slightly: "When the army sent by the imperial court arrives, we will try to open the city gate and let the imperial court know that it will not work without our families." ”

Everyone nodded their heads and smiled lightly.

Although there is a drought in Yangzhou now, it does not affect them as a family, and they are still red and energetic at the moment.

"Oh no! Master! A group of soldiers rushed in and said..."

Just when everyone was smiling, a family member rushed in, his eyes were terrified, he was panting for breath at the moment, and he spoke intermittently.

"What's the panic, you tell me what's going on!"

Everyone's faces changed slightly, Li Sheng's expression tightened, and he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

"It is said that the general has an order to exterminate the Li family!"

The family gasped and wept sadly, and finally said everything.

Everyone's faces changed greatly, and the teacups in their hands couldn't help but fall to the ground.

"How is this possible..."

Listening to what Jia Ding said, Li Sheng went weak and sat down on the chair.

Everyone's eyes were blank, and then they gathered on Li Sheng's body.

Didn't you say that anyone who is good needs them to rebel? Why are they about to be exterminated in the blink of an eye?

"Gather the family, we are fighting this traitor!"

They have hundreds of families in their families, and their physiques are strong, and as long as they have a blade in their hands, they can become a force in an instant.

Li Sheng shook his body and stood up, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Slaughtering the family, this thief will be beheaded sooner or later." ”

At this moment, a miserable scream came from the front, and when everyone heard this, they were originally going to gather the family to resist, but they no longer made any movement at this moment, and they all spread out on their chairs motionless, their eyes were in a trance.

Because they know it's all over.

The direction from which the voice came from was already close to them, even if they had been prepared, and the family was on guard all the time, but now they had nothing to do.

After a while, more than a dozen soldiers in iron armor rushed in, and one of the leaders glanced at it, sneered, and waved his hand.

The soldiers stepped forward, their long knives swept across, and more than a dozen heads fell to the ground one after another.
