Chapter 295: The smoke is everywhere, and the people are under the city
Knowing Yuan Wenchang's intentions behind the scenes, Zhou Fencao was quite anxious. He is now advancing and retreating with Chen Sanlang, on the same boat in Jing County, once something goes wrong, he will be doomed. It's not that I'm worried about my own life, but more of a substitute for the position of "eating the king's luck and bearing the king's worries".
"Childe, if you don't want to repair a letter to General Zhenguo, what do you think?"
Li Hengwei, the general of Zhenguo, was ordered by the emperor to call on the soldiers and horses of the world to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to enter Zhongzhou to block the Shi Po army from attacking the capital. As long as the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang from all walks of life converge, they will send troops to suppress the rebellion, recover Yongzhou, and then quell the rebellion against the barbarian state.
Because of Li Hengwei, after Shi Pojun broke through Yongzhou, he had to stop, was sniped, and could not take advantage of the situation.
Li Hengwei represents the imperial court, representing the current saint, and Chen Sanlang is naturally also a member of the imperial court, at least nominally.
Therefore, Zhou Fencao wanted to contact Li Hengwei and ask for help. After all, in the land of Jing County, it is really not enough to fight against Yuan Wenchang, who is becoming more and more restless.
Chen Sanlang pondered for a moment and asked, "How is General Li a person?"
Zhou Fencao said: "Zhou used to be in the imperial court and saw him once. He is loyal to the imperial court, calm, strategic, and has the style of a general, and is a rare handsome talent. ”
After hearing this, Chen Sanlang said: "Even if we repair the book, I am afraid that General Li will not respond positively." ”
Zhou Fencao asked: "Yuan Wenchang's wolf ambition has long been rebellious, as long as we expose it, how can General Li sit idly by?"
"On this point, sir, you are wrong. ”
"Am I wrong?"
Zhou Fencao was stunned.
Chen Sanlang looked at him, Zhou Fencao was full of economy, and he was a well-educated person. However, it does not mean that he is all-encompassing and talented. It is used to govern the people's livelihood and preside over government affairs, which is a good hand, but in the face of soldiers and military strategies, it shows shortcomings.
The Xia Yu Dynasty was peaceful for a long time. And the scholars have also been comfortable for a long time, and most of them lack experience and training in this area, so there are naturally many flaws in their considerations.
At that moment, he said slowly: "Yuan Wenchang's heart is known to passers-by, do you think that the current saint will not know?
Zhou Fen Cao Moran.
Chen Sanlang asked again: "Since you know, why didn't you suppress it earlier?"
Zhou Fencao was not a stupid person, and said with a wry smile: "The local separatist forces have been formed, and they are intertwined. There's no way to start. ”
"Yes, I couldn't do it before, but now Shi Pojun has rebelled, if you force Yuan Wenchang, I'm afraid that the next one will be Yangzhou. ”
Zhou Fencao said angrily: "If you don't cut down a leaf, you will use an axe, it is all cowardice of the imperial court." Raising tigers is a problem, which has led to such a situation. It's just a long and short pain. There will be a pain in the end, and the more you endure, the more you can't control it, and the Holy One even ...... this truth."
As he spoke, his heart sank into a sigh: Just because the saint is anointed with blindness today. How can we still have the energy to worry about the situation in the world? According to various sources, turmoil has begun in the capital now, all for the sake of competing for the position. I don't know how many people are waiting for the emperor to take his last breath.
Maybe that breath is the last breath of the Xia Yu Dynasty.
In such a situation, everything is based on stability. Li Hengwei, as a general of Zhenguo, is worried about national affairs, and everything is focused on the overall situation, how can it stimulate the situation in Yangzhou because of Jing County. If Yuan Wenchang is also reversed, wouldn't it be even worse, the world is in danger, and it will be difficult to recover.
Zhou Fencao figured out the joints and understood that what Chen Sanlang said was true, but writing to Li Hengwei at this time was useless.
"Childe, then this time the Shura demon is menacing, relying on us in Jing County alone, I am afraid that the strength is insufficient. ”
The soldiers who went to Gaotian Township last night were not the soldiers of the county government, but the private soldiers on Chenjiazhuang. On the one hand, it can be used for military training, on the other hand, it is true that the county government has no soldiers to adjust, and those old and weak soldiers usually guard the city gate, and it is okay to make a appearance, but they really want to be sent out to kill, but they are afraid that they will run away when they see blood.
Chen Sanlang said indifferently: "Sir, don't be anxious, I have my own way to calm down." You can follow my strategy and send more people to appease people's hearts. ”
"Understood. ”
Listening to Chen Sanlang's tone, Cheng Zhu was in his chest, and Zhou Fencao calmed down in his heart and began to work on affairs.
In the next few days, the seemingly calm Jing County seemed to have been smashed with a stone, and there were circles of ripples, lingering:
It is rumored that there are evil spirits in the mountains and wilderness in the countryside, and everywhere they go, regardless of men, women, children, chickens, dogs, pigs and ducks, all of them will be sucked away by the evil spirits, and turned into bones......
There are also rumors that because the rebels are blocked, they can't enter Zhongzhou, so the next target is set in Yangzhou, and they will be hit soon......
The latter rumor has actually been fermenting in the market for a long time.
At the very beginning, Shi Po's army rebelled and broke Yongzhou, and the county town bordering Yongzhou that was originally under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou was panicked, and many wealthy families began to pack up their softness and prepare to flee.
Yuan Wenchang had a strategy, and sent his henchmen in advance to control the local armament and government affairs, and the tiger weiwei galloped day and night, responsible for reconnaissance and patrols, strictly prohibiting the population from escaping, and all violators were arrested and their property confiscated.
Such a strategy is to prevent people's hearts from fluctuating, and at the same time to limit the loss of resources belonging to Yangzhou.
In addition to Jing County, because Chen Sanlang was there, Hu Weiwei did not come over, so some squires and wealthy families ran a lot, but a considerable part of them went to Nanyang Mansion. In their opinion, having Yuan Wenchang's protection is better than fleeing to other states and counties.
In Yangzhou, Jing County is a place very close to Yongzhou, and if there is really a war, it will definitely be the first to bear it. In order to calm the people's hearts, Zhou Fencao has done a lot of work all along. However, as various rumors become more and more intense, coupled with evil spirits, the number of people who choose to leave their hometowns continues to increase. For a long time, I am afraid that within half a year, Jing County will be ten rooms and nine empty, and it will become a barren land.
And if the population is lost, then Jing County will be left with an empty shell.
This is the trend of the times, no matter how sympathetic Chen Sanlang is to the people's feelings, how clear the governance is irreversible.
During this period, another unstoppable incident happened, and a large influx of refugees from Yongzhou occurred.
Since Yongzhou was broken, the barbarian army was like a beast, burning and looting everywhere, and the refugees fled in all directions in order to survive. Many of them fled to Zhongzhou, some fled to Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and not many chose to come to Yangzhou. Maybe in the minds of the refugees, if they want Yangzhou and Manzhou to be next to each other, it won't be too peaceful for long, if they just settle down, but they fight again, then they want to cry without tears.
However, I don't know how, the influx of refugees during this period is obviously much more than before, and they all go to Nanyang Realm and Jing County.
When refugees enter the country, they are accompanied by blood and tears all the way, and when they arrive at the place, they lack food and drink in order to survive, the old and weak beg more, and the young and strong are thieves.
In an instant, there were many incidents under the jurisdiction of Jing County, which can almost be described as full of holes, and in the countryside below, there were people making trouble every day.
On this day, the morning sun was rising, and a detective reported quickly, saying that a large group of refugees were rushing to the county seat, and people continued to join along the way, and there were thousands of people, and the momentum was terrifying. (To be continued.) )
