Chapter 148: Cutting the grass to the roots

Tanglin, which was originally one of the most powerful counties among the 28 counties among the strong men, also has a high reputation in the entire strong Han land.

And now, as Xia Chunqiu's ambitions are gradually revealed, even some ordinary people who do not know three or two characters have also seen the current tension in Tanglin, and even some clear-headed people with money at home have begun to leave Tanglin and prepare to settle down in other places.

Different from the west, the people living in Tanglin live a rich life, rich in food and clothing, and at the same time have surplus money for recreation and entertainment, so the people living in this land have their own pursuits, and their personalities are also obvious, and in this case, the cohesion of the entire Tanglin is much worse than that of the west.

In fact, not only Dongling, but also in the entire land of the strong Han, there is no one in the county who has such a strong cohesion as the west, and this is also one of the main reasons why so many people in the Daming Palace are so jealous and suspicious of the west after the founding of the country, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the 500,000 founding divisions in the west have not been separated from the grasp of the founding father.

It is precisely because I have seen it with my own eyes and experienced it myself, so I know that the people of Daming Palace, who are powerful in the western army, have always been reluctant to hold huge military power in the western region.

The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, but once a year, and has followed the excitement of the major festivals for countless years, it is not just the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, different regions have similar ways to celebrate festivals, and there are various activities to carry out such as ancestor worship, so the taste of the year is still strong.

When it comes to the Spring Festival, what appears in people's minds is nothing more than reunion, but for homeless people, where the body is, is where the home is, the so-called reunion, there is no talk of it at all, and the celebration of the festival has become a matter of eating something good alone.

For Huang Huai, whose parents died early and there were no other siblings in the family, the taste of the New Year was nothing more than a day that doubled the loneliness and emptiness.

Although he took refuge under Xia Chunqiu's subordinates, Huang Huai did not stay in the mansion of the Xia King of Tanglin on the occasion of the New Year, but came to Yanjing alone because of Xia Chunqiu's order.

Yanjing is to Tanglin, and Jiangnan is no different from the west, Xia Chunqiu wants to get into trouble, to establish himself as the king, he must first take Yanjing as his own, otherwise after his rebellion, he will only be restrained everywhere, and he can't show his hands and feet, and finally end up in a situation where he is caught in the urn, so to do things, to do big things, Xia Chunqiu must first keep an eye on Yanjing.

I knew in my heart that with the wisdom and means of Song Heng and everyone in the Daming Palace, it would be extremely difficult to move Yanjing now, but Xia Chunqiu still decided to bite Yanjing to the death, so that Wu Xiu, the king of Jiang, and the Yan army under his command could not and did not dare to leave Yanjing, and could not hinder their actions.

And sending Huang Huai to Yanjing to guard in advance is the precursor of Xia Chunqiu to make a move on Yanjing.

Knowing that there are many people in Yanjing and Bianjing who have some ideas, after Ran Kai returned from Taiwu, Xia Chunqiu also sent Ran Kai to Yanjing.

And when Ran Kai and Lishanwei quietly rushed towards Yanjing, in Yanjing City, which is also very lively now, in a restaurant full of hustle and bustle, unlike other wine tables full of people, there was a person sitting in front of the table near the corner.

Huang Huai is not short of money, but he still habitually orders two bottles of spicy local wine, and he simply orders a few side dishes on the table.

After getting used to the fierceness of the local wine, even if he took a sip of wine, Huang Huai's face was still calm.

Looking through the window at the crowds coming and going in the street below, all kinds of laughter when the noise came, and looking at the bright smiles on people's faces, Huang Huai just remembered the person who was far away in the land of Taiwu and heard that he almost died again.

At this time in previous years, I guess I was quietly guarding the prince in a flower building in Muping City.

Because of the excitement of the people and set off what he was doing at this time of the year, Huang Huai also muttered in his heart, since he met Chen Xikang, Huang Huai's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, life is not so monotonous, and even from time to time it is full of killing and bloody days, but Huang Huai feels that he is living a full and happy life.

Chen Xikang gave Huang Huai a lot, but he never asked Huang Huai to reciprocate, and Huang Huai never put such words as return on his lips, but Huang Huai has been expressing his thoughts in his own way.

Zhuge Daming, Baili Changfeng, Zhou Tianling, Ran Kai...... After silently reciting the names of the people who participated in the battle outside Qin Wu City in his heart, and silently remembering them in his heart, when he felt that someone was approaching behind him, Huang Huai, who knew that he had something to do, also took back his thoughts.

A person dressed ordinarily, but who belonged to Lishanwei, came to Huang Huai's side calmly, and after saying something in his ear, Huang Huai, who still had most of the wine and food left on the table, got up and left.

Wu Xiu, the king of Jiang, mastered Bianjing and Yanjing, and while he was loyal to the strong man, he was not afraid of any challenges and threats from Xia Chunqiu at all, but King Jiang could not be afraid of, or even disdain, any provocation from Xia Chunqiu, but other official families living in these two major cities could not do this.

Making the families in Yanjing and Bianjing jealous and other officials in the court, and then forcing these people to re-fight is the purpose of Xia Chunqiu, and death is undoubtedly what most people are most afraid of!

However, to be recognized by the world, killing alone cannot restrain people's hearts, and only with strong appeal and extensive supporters can Xia Chunqiu gain a firm foothold in the overall situation of the world.

After leaving the restaurant, Huang Huai quickly walked towards the mansion of the commander of the first official in Yanjing City, and from Lishanwei, Huang Huai knew that there were people in Yanjing City who wanted to secretly hide from Yanjing and go to the arms of Song Heng in Chang'an.

And when Song Heng was hurrying towards Zhang's mansion, under the escort of hundreds of troops, Commander Zhang's family was hurrying forward with a panicked face.

During this period of time, there have been many families and eunuch families who have been inexplicably destroyed in Yanjing, and there is no doubt that these people are people who want to secretly move to Chang'an or other places because they are afraid of Xia Chunqiu.

However, there are also a few people who died tragically at home because they were not bought and threatened by Xia Chunqiu.

As soon as these people who rejected Xia Chunqiu died, the whole family died cleanly!

Under such strong pressure, even if he knew that it would be very dangerous to escape, he also knew that if he stayed in Yanjing all the time, there was no other way to live except for choosing to compromise with Xia Chunqiu, and some people still chose to take risks and wanted to secretly hide from Yanjing.

Even if Song Heng's words are there, there is also the assurance of Jiang Wang Wu Xiu, but after people continue to die, there are still people in Yanjing who can't sit still, and this time the one who can't sit still is Zhang Yu, who is the commander.

In the midst of the army of less than three hundred, two carriages were moving rapidly, and all the people in the carriage and horses had anxious and frightened expressions on their faces, and the two younger children, although they were a little unsure, were also uneasy under the influence of the oppressive atmosphere after seeing their parents behave so frightened.

"Commander Zhang, it's the New Year, don't you enjoy this rare festival at home, the pace is so hurried, are you in a hurry to visit your relatives in another country?"

Appearing in front of the army out of thin air, and when the advancing convoy was forced to stop, Huang Huai, who suddenly appeared with no more than ten Lishan guards, spoke lightly.

Although Huang Huai's voice was very calm, after the people in the carriage heard this voice, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they lost their blood color in an instant!

Although he didn't know who the person who appeared outside was, Zhang Yu knew that the person who spoke must be from Tanglin, from which ambitious and cruel Xia Chunqiu's subordinates!

"Dad, I want to live, you take refuge in Xia Chunqiu, I really don't want to die!"

Before Zhang Yu could speak, a girl beside him who was still in her prime, already spoke with crying and pleading.

Although the little girl does not know very well what is happening at home, she knows a little bit about it.

Looking at the pleading and frightened looks on the faces of the children around him, Zhang Yu, whose face was also pale and colorless, did not speak, but gritted his teeth and got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Yu saw the only eleven people in front of him, and when a trace of luck rose in his heart, he also said to Huang Huai: "Can you give Zhang's family a way to live!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was upright and unwilling to choose to defect to a dirty person like Xia Chunqiu, but wanted to save his family's life, suppressed the fear of death in his heart, and opened his mouth with a firm look.

However, when Huang Huai heard this, only a smile made people chill down his spine.

"What Commander Zhang said, is the way to live in your hands soon? And Commander Zhang, your way of life is the way of life for your family?"

"But if Commander Zhang holds the naïve idea that one person dies and the whole family lives, I advise Commander Zhang to be exempted. ”

"Cut the grass to the roots, otherwise the spring breeze will blow and grow again!"

"In addition, I advise Commander Zhang not to have illusions about these hundreds of people, since I only brought such a few people, not because I don't have manpower, but because if I want to kill all of you, this is more than enough!"

Although he had heard some about the immortal cultivators and martial artists in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Yu, who did not have a clear understanding of the strong people in the rivers and lakes, still did not listen to Huang Huai's words.

By luck, Zhang Yu gave an order to resist to the hundreds of guards around him who were escorting him!

Hearing that the person opposite was stubborn, Huang Huai's face, which had been smiling, also became cold, and the person disappeared in place when a sneer appeared!

Soon, the blood-stained Huang Huai was filled with the smell of blood, and on his body, there was a scene of cruelty.

No one survived, young and old!

After taking out a booklet in his arms and finding the location of Zhang Yu's name on it, Huang Huai dipped his fingers in some of the blood stains on the corpse next to him that had not yet dried, and made a stroke in the booklet.
