Han Shizu

Chapter 1712
"I heard that the bandit army attacked twice and was repelled by you. The second time, you even captured more than [-] ranks?" Inside Guide Castle, Liu Fang asked the town general Wu Ping softly.

This is a low-ranking officer in his prime, with a very ordinary appearance. The most conspicuous thing is probably the thick long beard, which floats on his chest, giving him a different temperament.

Zhao Wang was obviously the person with the highest status and the most precious status that Wuping had ever seen. Facing Liu Fang's questioning, he was inevitably embarrassed, especially Liu Fang's serious expression added a little pressure.

Therefore, the answer seemed to be stumbling, but in the end, it was clear: "Back to the king, there are about [-] thieves around, intending to attack and rob the pass, but after the rebellion breaks out, the pass will be closed and blocked, and the defense will be strengthened. Therefore, the bandits did not succeed.

The thieves' army is not well-equipped, their swords and soldiers are not complete, and they have no attacking equipment. If they sneak attack, they may take advantage of them. However, the fort has been prepared and is condescending. "

"In your fort, there seem to be only [-] garrison soldiers on standby. With one enemy fifteen, not only can you defend the fortress, but you can also defeat the rebels, which is very impressive!" Liu Fang said, "The rebels in Yulin are not ordinary after all. rioters!"

In Liu Fang's words, there was a hint of praise, and Wu Ping felt it, his rough face flushed slightly, but he shook his head and said, "For the first time, I had to stick to it. After the state knew that the rebels were going south, the commander sent another five hundred divisions urgently. Soldiers, [-] regiments of training, coupled with the bravery of the temporary armed forces inside and outside the fort, and the strength of the crowd, we have just defeated the bandit army!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Fang looked Wu Ping up and down, and said, "You are really sincere!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the accompanying commander of the Jinzhou soldiers and horses: "Is that so?"

"Back to the king! Exactly!"

But Wu Ping was stunned for a long time before he realized that he seemed to have missed an opportunity to show his merits, but perhaps it was this honesty that Liu Fang remembered.

Jinzhou is a newly established state in the reform of national construction and division after the reunification. It is connected to Huanzhou and Qingzhou to the west, Yanzhou to the east, Fuzhou to the south, and Yulin to the north.

Under the wink of the commander, Wu Ping said respectfully again: "Your Majesty, the last general has captured hundreds of rebels, including several leaders. From them, I have heard about the situation of the rebels in Yanzhou."

Without any hesitation, Liu Fang ordered: "Bring the person up, and I will inquire personally!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the two leaders of Yanzhou rebels were brought up. They were both strong men with a fierce look, but they looked very embarrassed. One of them was seriously injured. Bandaged, of course, if he could not provide some information, he would have died of his injuries long ago. The officers and soldiers have no sympathy for this kind of traitor, and they can be beheaded even if they die.

Looking at the two of them, Liu Fang narrowed his eyes and asked directly, "Tell me!"

"I have already said what I should say!" The uninjured man, although instinctively intimidated by Liu Fang's majesty, acted quite stubbornly: "I know that what I committed is a serious crime of family punishment, so I will kill it if I want to. Why bother me waiting!"

"Then say it again!" Hearing this, Liu Fang smiled, and his tone suddenly changed: "Since you know it's a heinous crime, why do you want to commit it?"

"Did you say you can live?"

"That depends on whether what you say is of value to me!" Liu Fang said lightly.

With the leader's eyesight, he naturally didn't know Liu Fang's identity, but he could tell that the only man sitting in the hall in front of him was of unusual status, at least much higher than the officers who defeated and captured them for interrogation.

"If not, then Fa-rectification on the spot!" Liu Fang added lightly.

A pressure came to his face, the leader hesitated for a moment, and looked extremely guilty under Liu Fang's gaze, but after all, it was the instinct of life, which prevailed, and there was no need to question him. Together, it is much more detailed than Wu Ping's interrogation.

According to what he said, his name is Wang Qi, a Han nationality, and his ancestral home is Hanzhou, Jiannan Road. More than 20 years ago, he was moved to Yanzhou with his parents to settle down with his family. Becoming the farmer of Yuanjiazhuang, after passing the loyalty test, he became Yuan Ke's confidant and became one of the leaders of Mingshafei. Mingshafei committed major cases and basically participated in them, including last year's case of the black sweat mission.

The former, Liu Fang, the magistrate of Yanzhou, was taken down by Wang Xuanzhen, and he fled with the guilty Yuan Ke and hid among the party members.Afterwards, under the thorough investigation of Wu Desi, Yuan Ke saw that his business operation for more than ten years was about to be uprooted.

Yuan Ke's relationship with the Dangxiang in Yanzhou is very solid, and the local Dangxiang members have long been unstable, harboring treachery, and the two hit it off.Of course, Wang Qi also mentioned that he did not agree with the rebellion, but he was too involved with Yuan Ke and was coerced, so he had to obey. Of course, Liu Fang didn't listen to such lies. Pass.

After the turmoil in Yanzhou, the attack on the city of the state was unsuccessful, and the situation in Yanzhou had no room for further development. Yuan Ke began to set his sights on other Taoist states.

This is the suggestion given by Zhang Hong, his dog-headed military adviser. If it is limited to Yanzhou, then it will inevitably usher in a key attack from the court.

Yuan Ke agreed with this very much, and this was also the reason why Wang Qi's rebel army went south.Led by Yuan Ke's third younger brother, Yuan Zhen, they planned to go back to the way of virtue, rush into the pass, instigate a rebellion, and burn the flames of war to Fuzhou, Binzhou and even Chang'an.

Of course, the idea was good, but as a result, he had a bloody encounter at Guide Fort, not to mention the defeat, even Yuan Zhen was almost arrested.When talking about this, Wang Qi was full of complaints, complaining that Yuan Ke used nepotism, and that Yuan Zhen was just a young boy who didn't know how to fight at all.Of course, he himself only has experience in looting from bandits, and he also doesn't know how to march and fight.

After talking in detail about his background and his "glorious history" from the bandits in the sand to the rebellion and capture, Wang Qi stopped talking, as if he had nothing to say.

However, what Liu Fang wanted was more crucial information. After thinking about it, he said, "How many rebels are there in Yanzhou now?"

"When the sinners were waiting to go south, General Yuan already had tens of thousands of people!" Wang Qi said.

"What general! Yuan thief!" The commander of Jinzhou on the side was annoyed, and immediately reprimanded.

Wang Qi was taken aback, and quickly changed his words: "Yes! It's Yuan thief!"

After Yuan Ke's rebellion, he named himself a great general in order to justify his name. At the same time, he also greatly rewarded his subordinates, all of whom were generals and commanders.For example, Wang Qi is General Long Xiang.
Liu Fang didn't care about these seemingly ridiculous details, and said coldly, "Tens of thousands? Is it [-], [-], or [-]?"

Wang Qi hesitated, and said, "There should be more than 30,000 people!"

Liu Fang frowned suddenly, and said to the left and right: "It seems that the situation in Yanzhou is much more serious than what we knew before! There are more than 30,000 bandit troops, how many people are there in Yanzhou?"

"Your Majesty, you can't let the rebels go, otherwise, if you let them grow up, it will be even more difficult!" Pan Luozhi said impatiently.

Liu Fang raised his hand to stop him: "There's no rush, I'm free to argue!"

"Great King" heard Pan Luozhi's call, Wang Qi was startled, tongue-tied.

Liu Fang glanced at him and said, "What you have said so far is not enough to save you from death!"

After saying this, Wang Qi didn't answer, but another leader said in a weak voice: "The rebel army surrounded by Yuan thief may be more numerous now. In addition to sending villains to the south, Yuan thief also sent envoys everywhere. Contact the party items in various places. At the same time, Huanzhou, Qingzhou and other places also sent troops. At the same time, they led the crowd to plunder various towns and force the local people to follow the thieves."

"How can you thank the world if you don't kill such a rebellious thief!" Liu Fang became angry for the first time, staring at the two of them coldly: "If those common people don't follow the thieves, how will you deal with them?"

"Kill!" Wang Qi whispered.
