Chapter 296: The Conflict Begins
Hearing that the children of all ages in Yunxian County came to vote, Xiao Hao almost wanted to laugh wildly, this is simply to send merit, honor, luck, and awards...... Anyway, send a qiē!
Just as Liu Qianzhu, the county leader of Yun County, said, Xiao Hao is really satisfied with Yun County's refuge!
"Please. Xiao Hao introduced Yun Shanjun and Liu Qianzhu into the hall, and the rest of Yun County rested outside for the time being, waiting for the arrangement.
The first conference of Xiao Hao's return was basically over after the introduction of Yunshanjun; it was just that the situation in Haizhou had just been revealed! With the people of the Han Sect Sect settled in Haizhou, combined with some of Xiao Hao's ideas, a change began to slowly blossom on the stiff and ancient land of the human race!
As night fell, Xiao Hao finally had a family banquet after a long absence from Haizhou, but the atmosphere of the family banquet was a little stiff.
Yun'er followed behind Xiao Hao, and Xiang'er and Princess Qingyue sat beside Xiao's mother. Xiang'er is relatively simple, she grew up beside Xiao Hao since she was a child, and basically didn't encounter any misfortune, plus she has been following Li Yufeng for the past four months, Xiang'er feels that life is perfect. But Princess Qingyue, who is a little younger next to her, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has suffered an accident, although she is young, she is scheming but extraordinary.
It's just that scheming is not as good as supernatural powers, although Princess Qingyue has scheming, but after all, it is not as good as luck - bad luck is also luck.
Burst...... Princess Qingyue delivered a meal to her nostrils with chopsticks, and this was the third time tonight.
Xiao Hao covered his head and was speechless, two girls, one has scheming and the other has supernatural powers, there is no way to live in peace. It's just that Xiao Hao doesn't like Princess Qingyue very much, this little girl's scheming is too gloomy, even Xiao Hao is a little scared. People who grew up in the court are not something that ordinary people can control.
Xiang'er turned her head to look at Princess Qingyue a little strangely, feeling a little curious - she inserted chopsticks and food into her nostrils three times in a row. This is too surprising; even Xiang'er has found a problem, not to mention Xiao Shilong, Li Yufeng, and Xiao Hao's grandfather Xiao Song; these three adults immediately looked at the new "maid" around Xiao Hao--Of course, Xiao Hao has already introduced Yun'er to his parents, and everyone can only sigh about Yun'er's experience.
No one would stuff a meal into their nostrils three times in a row, eating was almost an instinct, and it was impossible for even a drunk person to get a meal into their nostrils.
Princess Qingyue's face was purple. However, at this time, the hard temper came up, that is, he did not admit defeat and still ate calmly, although he occasionally sent food into his nostrils.
"Yo Yo ......" A clear voice came, and a small fox suddenly rushed in, it was a white white fox with a body only a foot long, but there were five three-foot long tails stretched out behind it.
"Wow......" Yun'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "The little fox is coming to me." ”
"Xiaowei. Xiang'er and Princess Qingyue cheered at the same time, they were little girls after all.
Naturally, the little fox just came out. must be looking for a familiar person, so he has to run towards Xiang'er.
"Hmph!" Yun'er looked at it, and a competitive smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "The end of the world." ”
On such an occasion, of course, Yun'er can't use her magic power with all her might, but a little bit of magic power is enough. A hazy purple path appeared out of thin air, and as soon as the little fox stepped on the path, it swooped into Yun'er's hand.
"Giggle...... What a beautiful little fox. Yun'er hugged the little fox, full of joy.
"Yo Yo ......" the little fox struggled. But how can he not break free--There is still a trace of confusion in the eyes of the little fox, why did he go the wrong way, but under Yun'er's magical powers. The little fox's efforts were useless. Although it is said that the three-tailed fox can already attract wind, and the five-tailed fox should be more powerful, there is still a difference compared to Yun'er, not to mention that the little fox itself is still in the seal, and it does not have much ability.
"You...... You let it go!" Xiang'er was anxious. The little fox also howled anxiously.
"Okay Yun'er, let it go, there will be time to communicate slowly in the future. Saying that, Xiao Hao "rescued" the little fox. As soon as the little fox came out, he immediately ran to the top of Xiao Hao's head and crawled. A cry of joy swept around, and five huge tails swept around.
"Hey...... I can't eat this meal......" Xiao Shilong looked at Xiao Hao and the few little guys, and suddenly sighed, "The little guys now, none of them are worry-free." ”
Xiao's mother Li Yufeng doesn't see it that way. Seeing that there was no shortage of girls around Xiao Hao, his mother smiled happily, "Eating, what an active atmosphere." ”
When they went to bed at night, Yun'er and Xiang'er struggled again, to be exact, no one would let anyone. Xiao Hao saw a headache, I didn't expect that the two little girls who usually looked very quiet would be so intense after meeting.
"Young Master, I want to learn supernatural powers. Xiang'er grabbed Xiao Hao's right hand, her face full of anticipation, and her pure eyes revealed endless anticipation.
"Childe, do you want to tell a story to Yun'er, do you want to tell a story, do you want to tell a story......" Yun'er grabbed Xiao Hao's left and right and shook it around.
"I'll tell you a story first, and then both of you will go to learn supernatural powers!" Xiao Hao's face was full of sadness, and after telling the little story of the wolf's grandmother, he went to learn the jade talisman that was drawn on the ground one by one.
"Yo Yo ......" A cheerful voice came, and the little white fox turned into a breeze and floated in through the crack in the door, lying on Xiao Hao's shoulder and not getting down, but looking at the little fox's posture, this is asking for something.
"Greedy little one, here you go. Xiao Hao directly took out a health jade talisman and threw it in front of the little fox, and the five tails were as flexible as fingers, easily grabbing the health jade talisman. The little fox rubbed Xiao Hao happily, and then ran to Xiao Hao's bedside to absorb it.
"Oh, this is really a family trouble!" Xiao Hao rubbed his brows speechlessly, really a little big.
However, Xiao Haohai is only a big head, but some of them have already fallen to the ground! Xiao Hao's first order when he returned to Haizhou was to start the clean-up work.
Late at night, more than 200 people led by Zhang Yun and Han Sheng, the elite of these elites, quietly left Xishan Town. With the various speed runes provided by Xiao Hao, these people galloped across hundreds of miles in one night, attacking those locked nobles overnight.
In the face of the sudden murderous opportunity, how can these nobles resist, this action is absolutely merciless. At the scene, he left a large number of various "proofs" of pseudo-Wang Shengqing. In this troubled time. There will be no mercy, and all the traitors have tasted the consequences - cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots!
This group of "murderers" who suddenly appeared was very rampant, and even passed through the countryside to drink water along the way, and not only that, but there were even peasants who were responsible for guiding the nests and retreats of various nobles.
It was a bloody night, and more than thirty nobles who had been identified as having helped Shengqing were all killed, and a large amount of wealth and so on were all looted.
Wait until dawn. When these news spread, all the nobles in Haizhou began to tremble. But there are also smart aristocrats who know what is happening for the first time.
In the next few days, Haizhou calmed down the riots on all sides on the one hand, condemned Shengqing's powerlessness and rampant on the other, and of course prepared the army at any time to go to war at any time. At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity, Haizhou was also expelling a large number of nobles. And driving these nobles away also prevents the dogs from jumping off the wall, and of course, it can also increase the burden on the surrounding states and counties!
However, with the Venus of Haizhou's reforms. But of course, the turmoil is intensifying. Especially in response to Haizhou's difficulties and accusations in all aspects, the puppet Wang Shengqing finally couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in attacking, asking Haizhou to escort Yunshanjun and his party to Liguang City, and let Haizhou apologize.
But Haizhou was unusually tough, Xiao Hao severely accused Sheng Qing of killing the Haizhou nobles, listed many "evidence", and claimed to crusade against Sheng Qing - in fact, it was a declaration of war.
It's like looking for death...... Yes, many people saw that Xiao Hao actually declared war on Shengqing. Haizhou must only pass through half a state, and the real rise is less than a year. And Gyeongju is not a big kind in the first place. Compared with the two large states of Jungju and Liju, Gyeongju is slightly smaller, the land is relatively poor, and the population is relatively small. In fact, the territory controlled by Xiao Hao is not as large as one-fifth of the area controlled by the pseudo-Wang Shengqing.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Hao actually declared war on Shengqing, in the eyes of many people. Xiao Hao is looking for death by himself.
After the incident, Shengqing also blocked the return route of the Yanzikou defenders, leaving Liang Gushan trapped in Haizhou and unable to leave. The nearest distance from Haizhou to Yanzikou in the west is more than 3,000 miles, and if you take a detour, you will have to cross the central puppet Wang Shengqing ruling area. This distance will be more than 5,000 miles -- and who says that it will be safe to take a detour? Therefore, Liang Gushan and his party can only stay in Haizhou for the time being!
It's just that no one knows that trapping Liang Gushan and his party is also Xiao Hao's strategic goal! Xiao Hao wants to attack the puppet king, and the strength of the two sides is indeed a bit different -- if he wants to establish a long-term dynasty, Xiao Hao must not rely too much on supernatural powers, but on the broad masses of the people; not to mention that Xiao Hao and the Han Zongfa family have a more long-term plan.
Therefore, in such a situation, Xiao Hao needs to appropriately use other forces to contain Shengqing, so that Shengqing cannot concentrate on fighting against Haizhou.
But no matter how they looked at it, the conflict finally escalated into a military operation, and a month after Xiao Hao's return, the conflict between the two sides finally accumulated to the limit and could no longer be avoided. Under the influence of calculations in all aspects, almost all of Haizhou's elite troops went to war.
800 elite cavalry -- charging into battle, 1,000 ordinary cavalry who had just begun to train -- these were mainly engaged in long-range attacks, harassment, bow and arrow shooting, etc., and more than 2,000 infantry, totaling more than 5,000 men, which was almost the largest military force that Haizhou could come up with.
And here in the puppet king Shengqing, even if it is necessary to send troops to garrison all around, there are still 10,000 troops dispatched mightily, and everywhere along the way, every nobleman needs to support a certain military force, such as people's husbands, such as private soldiers, and so on. In the face of Xiao Hao and Haizhou's rejection strategy of the nobles, this time many nobles in Lizhou and Zhongzhou actually took the initiative to support the crusade against Xiao Hao.
Even in the process of advancing the team, the slogan of eliminating traitors and bandits was gradually played. For a while, it was in the limelight!
By the time the army arrived in Yunxian, it had swelled into an army of 30,000 people, of which in addition to the 10,000 army at the beginning of Shengqing, the remaining 20,000 were all supported by various nobles along the way.
Obviously, Xiao Hao's treatment of the nobles made the other nobles already panic.
Similarly, here in Haizhou, the 5,000-strong army has also gathered at the border of Yunxian, and the two sides are temporarily facing each other across Yunxian. At this moment, Yunxian County is already empty and has no military strength, and the local civilians have already fled to Haizhou when they hear that there is going to be a war here.
Tensions began to spread in the imperial court, and a battle that was already doomed and inevitable was about to begin, and the outcome of this battle would also foreshadow the future direction of politics at a certain time.
For a while, countless eyes gathered here.
"Boom ......Rumble" Several war horses passed through Yunxian County, bringing the war letter of the puppet Wang Shengqing of the Dali Royal Court: "Passing on the King's Order: Recently, Haizhou bandits have been rampant, and now they are invading Gyeongju, leading to the destruction of lives, and hundreds of heroes' descendants have been slaughtered, which is really an evil act of anger and resentment!"
Now the Holy Monarch wants to eradicate the evil and return Gyeongju to a prosperous place! I hope you will do it yourself!"
The herald's words were sonorous and powerful, as if Haizhou was a breeding ground for bandits.
After Xiao Hao, who was riding a horse at the front, heard this sentence, he replied coldly: "Sheng Qing killed his brother and seized the throne, and raped and insulted his brother and sister-in-law, which is really the worst in the world!"
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and now Haizhou will do its best to give the king justice!"
The words of both sides are carried out with a certain ceremony, and the conversation here will be heard by all the people of the royal court.
As soon as Xiao Hao's words came out, everyone immediately changed color! Although everyone understood that Sheng Qing was killing his brother and seizing the throne, he didn't expect to insult his brother and sister-in-law, and this is definitely a real thing that is intolerable in heaven! Now that Xiao Hao said this, the hearts of the people in the palace suddenly surged! (To be continued......
